Chapter 140 - A loophole (1/2)
Everyone sat at the table was now unmoving after hearing the decision made about Gary. The fact that not even one elder had voted for Gary to stay in the academy, came as a shock. Gary was the number one ranked student out of the second years, if he didn't get any leeway then the others already knew the result of their vote.
Gibby then went on with the next vote.
”All those in favour of banishing Monk, please raise your hand.”
Again, just like before all of the elders had raised their hand. It was all too much for Monk as he started to burst into tears. Gibby ignored Monk's cries and continued on to the next vote.
”All those in favour of Banishing Dan please raise your hand.”
Again, the same result. Dan mumbled cursing the academy under his breath. His fist was clenched hard.
The vote continued and each outcome was the same for Martha and Kyle who were too shocked to even make any sort of reaction. Finally, it was down to the last two, Slyvia and Ray.
Before Gibby could even say Slyvia's name she stood up in protest.
”How can you do this to us? I do remind you that I am part of the Heart family and if you chose to continue with this, the relationship with the Hearts' and this academy will be broken.”
”She's right about that,” Humfree said.
”There shall be no special treatment regardless of who or what background you have, rules are rules.”
The vote continued with 2 of the elders in favour of Slyvia staying and the rest for banishment. The decision had been made. Before Slyvia sat back in her seat she had one last thing to say.
”You will all regret this.”
Finally, it was time for Ray's vote. When asked the question about banishment similar to Slyvia, two of the elders were in favour of Ray staying while the other four agreed to banishment.
”As I said justice has prevailed,” Gibby said.
Ray wasn't moving though and he wasn't reacting but underneath his calm look, his blood was at boiling point. Ray was currently deciding whether he should just attack the elders right here and now and take over the academy but there was one thing stopping him.
The black knights. For some reason their presence worried Ray, this uncertainty was what caused Ray not to act.
”We shall have a knight escort them to their dorms and stay on guard until they can be sent home.”
Just as the two knights started to move, the old man stood up.
”Wait, no one shall be doing anything.”
”The vote has been cast old man, there is nothing you can do to change that,” Gibby said.
The old man then smiled at Gibby before giving his answer.
”I hereby relinquish my seat as an elder and select Ray Talen as my successor.”
”What, can he do that?” One of the elders asked.
”Just what are you thinking.” Gibby cried out.
