The Headmaster didn't keep them for long. He got their accounts of the incident and a more precise location to search for the remains of the legacy site. There was no need to involve students in any of the further processes.
Of course, the Bloodline Enhancers they'd been promised as a reward for their efforts also couldn't be given to them immediately. For circumstances' sake, the two young students were led back to the infirmary, where they joined a group of other expelled students.
Those who had been denied entry to the academy were already gone. The rest were led to an open area outside the school where a stage and podium were set up.
They arrived alongside the last of the students who had properly completed the entrance ceremony. When everyone was gathered, the proceedings began.
The Headmaster appeared on the stage as if the students he faced weren't looking up at him with fear in their eyes.
They'd learned well to have no expectations for an easy life.
