Later that night, I was lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling with a blank face as I kept recalling the conversation with Emma.
A secret room in the Disciplinary hall.
"Is there no way we can save him?" Emma asked with apprehension.
"No. It's not in our hands anymore." I said that in a firm voice.
As the light got darker, I rolled over to the side of my bed.
'Is it already too late.'
I contemplated as I got up from my bed and sat on the bed with my elbows on my legs and hands under the chin.
'No no. stop thinking.'
As I scratched my head, I fell on my back, on the bed.
'He is a troublemaker. Even if I somehow stop from getting him expelled. He will cause some other incident like today. So there is no point in saving him.'
'I need to stay away from trouble as much as I can before I get strong.'
As I thought that I recalled what Raul said.
"What's gonna happen to me."
I clicked my tongue and got up from the bed, rushed to the door and ran in the corridor. As I got to the stairs I saw Grace in the hall.
"Grace. I will be going out for a moment." "Don't wait for me." I said that in a firm voice.

I met the President of the Newspaper club, Maria Boleyn and had a secret conversation with her.
After that I rushed to the Disciplinary Hall and stopped in front of the Disciplinary Hall main door, where Sasha Primrose, a twin tailed girl with purple color was standing guard.
"President, what are you doing here? " Sasha asked with a puzzled look.
"Is Emma here?" I asked in a firm voice.
"No. Miss Emma went back to her dorm."
"Is something the matter?" Sasha asked, looking at me with confusion.
"It is nothing significant." "I am here to see Raul Bernard. " in a firm voice.
"Let me accompany you, President."
"It is alright. I can go alone." I said that in a firm voice.

Raul Bernard is lying on a bed, staring at the ceiling with his legs crossed in a solitary room in the Disciplinary Hall. Then suddenly the room opens making a creaking sound. Raul puts his guard up and gets up from the bed.
'Huh. what the hell is he doing?'
I was baffled as Raul was in a battle stance. Raul relaxed when he noticed that it was me.
"Why are you here?" Raul asked in a firm voice.
"I came here to have a talk with you." I said that in a firm voice as I walked towards his bed and sat on his bed with my legs crossed.
"There is nothing to talk about." Raul said that as he sat on the chair.
"Should you really be talking to me that way?"
"It's not like anything is gonna change, if I change the way I speak. "
'It seems like he already accepted his fate.'
"What if I said, there is a way."
Raul who had already given up and thought it was just a pipedream, got up from his chair and held his chair with desperation.
"Why?"
As Raul asked, I asked myself the same question over and over. Why do I want to help him when there is no merit. I had always done so, even in my past life, I just looked away.
I always wanted to be strong. So I worked myself to the bone. Then I became the National Kendo championship Silver Medalist.
So maybe I thought it was such a waste for someone so strong to be expelled, even though he was tricked.
As a memory sparked in my mind, I stood in front of the Chairman somewhere in the Academy building, who exuded massive pressure.
'Is he really human? I can't believe someone like him existed in the Academy. I feel like my bones are getting crushed. I need to stay composed.'
"What is your reason?" Chairman asked in an authoritative voice.
"If you do not give me a reasonable explanation, I will take disciplinary action against you for disturbing me at this time."
I composed myself and glared at him.
"Before I give an explanation, Let me tell you this Chairman." as I continued "I don't think you have the right to take disciplinary action against me, chairman." I said that in a firm voice as I glared at the Chairman intensely.
The Chairman who was releasing the massive pressure until then stopped releasing it and the room which felt heavy until then, became calmer.
"I am the Student Council President. If the Chairman wants to take action against me, it should be approved by all the bodies of the Academy. " I said that in a firm voice.
'Yes. The reason for my cockiness is that I knew the risks. Even if the four bodies approved it, the disciplinary action cannot be taken so easily, as the President is the face of the Academy, if any action is taken against him, it means the Academy loses the face. The risk is too big. '
"I am impressed, kid. Yes, you should be at least this brave if you want to be the President." The Chairman said that with a laugh.
'Thank god he let it go easily. I can't believe what I just did. I must have nerves of steel.'
"I assure you. I have a valid reason, Chairman." I said that in a firm voice.
As I explained things, the Chairman kept listening without interrupting me.
"This might work. But be careful, if The RoundTable catches wind of this, they won't let you off."
"Don't worry Chairman. I will ensure that it is taken care of."
As I said I stood in front of Raul extending my hand.
"Join the Student Council, Raul Bernard." I said that in a firm voice.
