That night I was taking a stroll near the east gate where the shopping district is and I noticed that no one was patrolling the east gate entrance. There are stores on both sides with a road in the middle. The area is bustling with students. The stores are lit up with bright colors by several beams of light along the stores.
And then suddenly, THUMP!
A loud sound like someone hitting a wall came from the front. I rushed forward to see what the commotion was. The area was flocked with students murmuring amongst themselves with bewilderment and panic. I rushed through the crowd making way to the scene and finally made my way to the front.
When I looked up, what was happening was that a student with red hair who looked like a wolf fuming with anger grabbed another student by the shirt who had already lost consciousness bleeding heavily from the face, as the red haired student made a fist with his right hand and was about to hit him. Everyone in the cafe stood still, too scared to make a move, as the event unfolded.
I stood there baffled without moving a muscle watching the scene that is happening in the cafe, when everything hit I snapped out of it and when I was about to make a move, a girl from behind leapt forward in front of the red hair, elbowing the red haired student with her right hand. When the red haired student started to retaliate, she quickly slipped and parried the attack with her left hand and punched him in the gut.
The red haired student fell to the ground holding his stomach. The girl rushed to the student who was unconscious and checked his pulse. She breathed out heavily with a sigh of relief and got up.
She then went back to the red haired student and pinned him to the ground with hands behind his back.
"You will be taken to the disciplinary hall for assaulting a student using mana on civilian property."
I strode towards her with a straight posture, keeping my eyes forward oozing confidence. She placed her hand in the front stopping me from going further.
"You cannot be here."
As she said that to me, she told all the students to clear the place. While most of the students left, I stood there in front of her as the Disciplinary Committee members were holding Raul.
"Why are you not leaving?"
I glared at her firmly and I extended my hand to her.
"Hello." "I am Mikhail Von Kleist."
"I am the Student Council President."
The few students who still haven't left were both astonished by the sudden reveal and completely awestruck by my mere presence.
Some of the students muttered.
"Is that the Student president?"
"He totally looks like a prince in his casual clothes."
""So, he is the Saint."
Caught off guard by my sudden revelation, she extended her hands to meet mine.
"Hello." "My name is Emma Cavendish. I am the Head of the Disciplinary Committee."
"What brings you here Mr…"
"You can call me Mikhail." "I just happened to be in the area taking a stroll "
"I see." "You can also call me by my name."
"Sure."
Emma Cavendish
Head of the Disciplinary Committee. She has black hair with a ponytail. Her mere presence exudes aura.
The Disciplinary Committee is one of the four bodies which run the Academy along with The Student Council,with the Chairman as the head of these four bodies.
"So, what happened?"
"Let's talk inside." She led the way to one of the private rooms in the cafe as she said that and left the red haired student to her underlings.
***
From what she said and the witnesses, that red haired wolf lookalike's name is Raul Bernard. Raul is a second year student. A noble from house Bernard. And the victim's name is Nigel, a commoner.
Raul came from nowhere and assaulted Nigel, while Nigel was on a date with a girl named Malorie Desjardins, a noble.
"Mikhail?"
"Let us question him for now." We departed to the disciplinary hall as I said that.

Disciplinary Hall Basement
Raul was on a chair behind the desk restrained with mana restraints annoyed with the situation he was in and looked edgy with his legs crossed. I am with Emma seated across from him.
"Why did you assault him?"
Raul turned his face away irritatingly, ignoring Emma's question clicking his tongue.
"What exactly is your reason?"
Raul continued to ignore Emma's questions with an exasperated look. Unable to proceed further Emma angrily hit the desk with her hands and got up from her seat while I sat there observing Raul.
"Raul. You have two choices." I said that as I stared at him coldly while grabbing his attention. "Cooperate with the investigation. "
"...Or get expelled from the Academy."
Unable to hold on and displeased by what I said Raul angrily got up from his seat.
"You don't have the.."
Interrupting him mid sentence, I glared at him coldly.
"You used mana on someone in civilian space which is prohibited." as I continued "and assaulted him to the brink of death."
"So, no matter what your reasoning is, what you did is unmistakably a crime."
"Unless you cooperate with us, we have no choice but to expel you."
"Nigel, he approached me yesterday and said he had something he wanted to show and told me to come to the Silver Spoon cafe tomorrow." Raul answered as he composed himself and sat on the chair.
"But the thing is, he never talked to me until then."
"Then why did you go?" I asked in a firm voice.
