Chapter 191
What happened afterward.
Once all of The Seven Mysteries of the Academy were resolved, the students who had been affected quickly recovered.
It was officially announced under the name of the Grand Shrine that the situation had been resolved, and measures such as shortened class hours were lifted.
Although the midterm exams were postponed by a week... they were not canceled.
The teachers had to scramble to prepare for the tests, and unfortunately, Clael also ended up working overtime.
That aside... it seemed peace had returned to the academy.
The person who solved the problem was not publicly revealed.
Of course, the name of the girl who had caused it all was also kept secret.
However, since many students knew that Eric had worked hard to resolve the issue, people around assumed that Eric and his group were the ones who solved it.
From the teachers' perspective, it was extremely troublesome... but Eric was praised by students who didn't know the full story and even came to be treated like a hero.
The girl at the center of the incident... she was the class president of the class next to Reina's, and her name was Melon Bread—a strangely delicious-sounding name.
Despite her plain impression, it was a surprisingly memorable name, which was a good thing.
Though she was the root cause of the incident... the academy did not hold her responsible.
Eric and the other Student Council members argued that she hadn't acted of her own will, and Reina supported that claim.
The fact that there were no deaths caused by The Seven Mysteries of the Academy also helped the situation.
In the game, the damage had been far worse... but this time, the early resolution was a blessing.
As a penalty, she was ordered to perform service work within the academy... and as a result, she remained a student council officer.
"She was diligent and genuinely competent. It was more helpful to have her continue working."
...so said Eric later.
Of course, it didn't seem like the main characters had any romantic feelings for her... but there was a sense of camaraderie from working together.
Not only Eric, but even Vincent, Will, and Luy defended Melon Bread.
While releasing the sealed 'evil' was something she should reflect on... even Clael didn't believe she was a bad person.
She wasn't expelled from the academy, and everyone was truly glad for that.
In any case... the 'Seven Mysteries of the Academy' event that had plunged the academy into terror came to an end.
At the same time, autumn came to a close, and winter arrived in the Kingdom of Saintcl.
