Chapter 655 Disciplinary actions

They were completely devoid of any strength when they had come out of the water and though there were bruises and swelling all over their body, he poured some very expensive potions on him and in their mouths, thanks to which they were able to complete their recovery in a short while.

It was an accident caused by their stupidity but the reason for the security protocol triggering was not them.

[[ "Are you sure this ring has some hidden properties that even I can see Eon?" ]]

One of the kids was wearing a certain purple amethyst ring and it was no normal item.

It was a powerful item that even my eyes couldn\'t figure out the exact powers of since it was sealed with some kind of very powerful seal that was blocking even the headmaster\'s eyes.

\'But, my eyes gave this ring a freaking six stars, something it doesn\'t do usually, so, this ring was certainly something far more than what mat to one\'s eyes and I was certain of that.\'

There was something about this ring that was vert special so special that even my special spells recognized it as a threat worthy enough to activate the protocols for the large-scale theft.

It was special… but, we can deal with the ring after we deal with the students themselves.

[[ "I am certain headmaster. But if we are talking about the ring, I believe it will be more useful to me than to you." ]]

[[ "Oho? And why do you think that way?" ]]

We were currently in the headmaster\'s office with me, Prince Alph, and the three perpetrators present in this normal looking special room.

This was a special space that had belonged to the headmasters of the academy since the dawn of the academy itself and all the headmasters that had lived here after a certain point in time, do not know of the many things that this place hides. 

Not even the headmaster before us knew some of the things that could be very useful to him present in this very room. And, I am not going to tell him about those things until the time comes.

[[ "Because headmaster, you cannot break the seal on this thing even if you want to, but, I can do it." ]]

[[ "And how do you know I can not break the seal, young one?" ]]

He was looking at the students with a serious look but the way he was talking with me in that happy voice showed just how good of an actor this person was.

[[ "Well headmaster… you are the headmaster and we are currently talking about some item that belongs to a student and perhaps something that is dry important to him.

According to the academy [Origin Order] Clause 33 article 12 paragraph 33, the headmaster could not take possession of something that belongs to a student in certain circumstances." ]]

[[ "Yes, however, the \'certain circumstances\' are specific as you seem to already know… oh, right. You are the son of someone that\'s called a demoness. You can just make it so that the scenario follows all the conditions. Haaa… you ungrateful child. 

You know I am overlooking the things that you are doing in the outskirts, right? 

I can just come there and watch what is going on in there for myself but I left you and the flamingoes alone. And you do something like this to me? 

My old self feels hurt, child." ]]

Well, he was overacting when he said this, and, no, it wasn\'t great at all.

It was bad instead, but who cares?

[[ "The ring is mine. We can discuss the things after I actually unseal the thing but until then, let\'s just say despite whatever it is, I will provide you with some books you will love to get your hands on.

Books that aren\'t even available in the secret section of the library of time." ]]

An almost unnoticeable light flashed in his eyes as soon as I had said that but it was so subtle that not even Prince Alph had seemed to notice it.

Or, perhaps he did notice it but he did not react to this at all since he was already dealing with the remaining anger.

\'He was strangely angry for something that didn\'t even concern him. Strange person…\'

Like, I know he wants to become our friend and all and also just how much he wants to get close to me, but, what happened to our house members was my responsibility not his.

Yes, he failed to control his house members but they weren\'t his subordinates and he would have absolute control over their actions.

He was just responsible here as the house captain and nothing else, so, the anger part was something I could not understand.

\'It wasn\'t even like him in the first place. Why was he like this all of a sudden?\'

It was strange, but, ultimately, as the captain of their house who had only been a captain for a little over a week, he was not at fault here. Not for the smoke and the things that happened to my house members at least.

"Tell us why you did it," the headmaster asked with his serious eyes directly looking into theirs and the students shivered with a kind of fear they must be feeling for the first time in their lives.

They were young and not some super special kinds like us but instead, just some kids who were comparatively a little better than the other students when it came to academics and strengths.

There was nothing much special about them so they were just normal students and for a normal student to feel the disappointment of the headmaster, a transient being that was far above the normal mortals present on this planet, was not something simple.

\'This was the first accident that happened in the academy during our time here, and the headmaster aside, Prince Alph was planning to file an expulsion report against them.\'

He was doing something out of his character.

We could just see in the enraged eyes of his just how much he wanted to go away, but, the grounds of expulsion were more strict than us Captains knew.

It was ultimately in the hands of the headmaster if he wanted to do it or not and if he decided that whatever the basis of the filed complaint was, was not enough, then he would reject it.

\'And, just bargaining into some other house\'s room, doing some little fights, or accidentally triggering something that they did not even know existed, were not grounds for expulsion.

\'He knew the headmaster wouldn\'t expel them even if he did file the complaint so he was keeping his calm, but, he also knew the deciplinary actions were inevitable and, if they do not get something that satisfied his anger…\'

Well, who knew what he might do with \'his\' house members? 

We did not know that, so, even as the three children told the story of how they heard about the training method we were using, their suspicion of how I might have stolen the book from the library, and their mistakes that they all accepted truthfully, instead of focusing on the three, we were concerned about this angry housecaptain.

\'What the hell had gotten into him?!\'

His anger was subsiding then it suddenly rose again, then it went down and just when he was completely calm, another volcano erupted.

He was controlling it from coming out but since we could see the deadly flames that could melt even rocks present in those dull golden eyes, we knew if the three received an inappropriate punishment, their lives later in their house would be hell.

We didn\'t know the extent this anger could lead him but, we couldn\'t take the chance.

"Hmmm. I have heard your side of the story and as I had heard from the captains, I conclude what happened was indeed an accident at its core."

A surprised expression appeared on their faces and they all looked up at the headmaster.

"However…"

But just this one word made the excitement transition into something darker compared to it.

"You did cause trouble for another house and even injured the students according to Captain Lucifer\'s report.

Your actions were the reason that became the reason behind something that could have been catastrophic had they all not reached the place in time.

Your actions were what led to what happened there, and after reviewing the accident myself, I conclude you certainly deserve strict disciplinary actions."

The colors on their faces backed darker again as they heard him say this and they looked down in shame and disbelief…

The three of them were from prominent families and perhaps this would be the first time in their lives that someone was going to punish them just because they did something that was obviously right.

From their point of view, I was the thread that stole the precious magic tome from the academy library and they were the heroes that were going to retrieve this book.

However, the book they were going to retrieve, and perhaps use later, turned out to be something that spewed poison at them and because of reason put hundreds of other students at risk.

They managed to run away from the place since they had sensed the danger however, the others weren\'t as lucky and things happened to them.

I remember they were there when I arrived there with the others and they were in a completely shocked state.

They didn\'t know what they had just done but they knew they were the reason it happened, and, they knew their mistakes.

"You will face seven days of solitary confinement and your domes will be changed to the Plankton dormitory. 

You cannot change the dorm on your own from now on so adapt to that place.

Ah, and, your house will lose twenty house points thanks to your actions." 

[[ "That is strict headmaster… should be sufficient enough." ]]

The punishment was appropriate and harsh so there was no way he would still go after them but, the anger in his eyes was still present.

Though it had decreased significantly, it was still present.

And… 

Now, we could see something else present behind them as well.

[[ "Oh boy.." ]]

[[ "This is a problem… is this a problem headmaster?" ]]

[[ "Well… we couldn\'t say liking someone is a problem now can we? But, the fact that he was that angry because there is someone he unconsciously likes, makes this concerning." ]]

There was someone he unconsciously liked and he did know who but not the reason behind it. 

It must be the reason for the anger, and instead of overthinking about it, he was trying to channel it somewhere else. And this was making his anger towards these three even more serious.

He himself didn\'t understand he was angry because of this reason, because he was thinking the person he liked might have also been hurt in that accident, but he knew that they were fine and, his logical mind redirected the surge of emotions to a different way.

Now that the target of anger had received the punishment, the true emotions were surfacing a little. But still, perhaps he was still trying to understand the reason behind his behavior.

[[ "I have read that the possessors of Solodinel sometimes have difficulty understanding their own mental processes because of the influence of the skill, but seeing this sure is different from what I thought it would be… anyway Eon.

Do you have any idea who this person maybe?" ]]

The possessors of Wisdom Pinnacle have more than one simple mental problem but they surely get used to them all with the passage of time but, yes… this was also my first time seeing it with my own eyes.

[[ "I might have an idea who this person is, headmaster but, I couldn\'t say for certain." ]]

I had an idea that he cared so much for him to unconditionally become like this, and no, it wasn\'t me.

[[ "Is it perhaps… Zoe?" ]]

[[ "Perhaps. I am not sure though." ]]

But, if there was even a remote possibility that the person that he was into was Zoe… then he was another one of the miserable souls that will never have what they want.

Still, though, I pray it isn\'t her. For his sake and for the sake of all of us… I pray it isn\'t her.
