Chapter 160 - 47 - The End Of Surou's Route (part 4)

[The official decision regarding the student

Surou Delche Bellcephora

A breach of rules so shameless cannot go unpunished.

Causing harm to another student in the name of upholding the academy's policy is an act unbecoming of a student supervisor.

Therefore it is hereby announced that the student Surou Delche Bellcephora is expelled from the Aspakeony Academy and is expected to leave the Academy grounds within twenty-four hours from the posting of this notice.

This decision takes effect immediately and had been approved by the crown.

The headmaster of Aspakeony Academy

Burdoff Mekhior Vereq]

"Wh-wha-what...?!"

Zoemi starred at the announcement as if it was a dragon that magically appeared out of nowhere wearing a tutu.

"This... is a joke, right...? There is no way that it can be serious...!"

The black-haired boy slowly turned towards his master and the first prince and muttered, pointing at the noticeboard with a shaking hand.

Miriette looked every bit as shocked as the black-haired attendant of hers – only the gold-haired Horeo was grinning, extremely proud of himself.

"M-my prince, this...!"

Zoemi couldn't even find the right words for the situation.

Being expelled from the Aspakeony Academy was a humongous humiliation for any noble – honestly, dropping out because of a political marriage or unplanned pregnancy was far more common than getting expelled!

The Academy itself was made specifically for the young nobles to interact with each other so that they could cooperate better in the future when they'll inherit their parents' territories, this purpose came even before the honing of the magic skills! Being expelled was equal to removing the person from the future political scene!

For something like this to happen to the second prince who was supposed to be in an open contest for the crown against the first prince...

...it was like straight up declaring that Surou has no chance of ever becoming the king...!

"My father allowed for this kind of punishment. He agreed that the second prince should be reeducated, preferably homeschooled as his recent behavior is unacceptable."

Horeo explained with a benevolent – and yet somehow cruel – smile.

"...hey..."

Miriette leaned to the gold-haired boy and stealthily patted his shoulder so that Zoemi wouldn't notice.

"Good job!"

She whispered conspicuously congratulating him for assuring the proper punishment for the grave sin of hurting Zoemi.

"B-but my prince... Isn't that too cruel...? I got healed – and even my scars disappeared! How will the second prince accept such revelation!?"

|Surou will completely flip out when he sees this!|

Zoemi panicked - he thought that the second prince's route was done and over but this was definitely another event! One that Zoemi thought was already closed and done – things were taking a turn for the worst in a record speed right in front of his very eyes!

"Don't worry about that, two guards with light magic are already waiting to take him back home right after he sees this."

Horeo just shrugged his shoulders like it was nothing special - and then he perked up.

"Hey, look, speak of the devil!"

The gold-haired boy grinned and pointed at something to the left of their small group.

Zoemi and Miriette looked there and they saw the blue-haired second prince Surou walking with the heroine - they were holding hands not caring for the attention they were getting.

They were heading their way and Zoemi suddenly realized something terrible.

Very terrible.

One could say – extremely terrible!

The blay-haired boy started looking around frantically.

|No...! This...! This setting...!|

Zoemi looked at the noticeboard, the first prince and his fiancee standing together, the second prince and the blond-haired commoner girl approaching them... and he felt all his blood draining from his face.

|This is not just some random bonus event...!|

He thought to himself, feeling cold sweat drenching his clothes.

"Hello, my dear brother. I am here just as you wanted me to - why did you want me to come here anyway?"

Surou asked not trying too hard to hide how annoyed he was about this whole summon – it honestly felt like he was only some random subject and not a part of the royal family...!

At his side, the heroine was behaving similarly to Zoemi - she also was looking around suspiciously, but unfortunately she was a bit slower to recognize the setting and didn't realize the truth yet.

|This is...!|

Zoemi gasped, raking his brain how can he prevents the oncoming catastrophe from unfolding...! "Just go ahead and take a look for yourself."

Horeo politely encouraged his younger brother with a gentle gesture pointing the blue-haired boy towards the noticeboard.

"...?"

Surou leaned back and squinted his eyes in suspicion – he was partially used to his older brother's eccentric behavior but still, usually, the gold-haired boy was holding back in front of the others...

"Hmm...?"

The blue-haired second prince glanced at the noticeboard and then came a bit closer to read the announcement that Horeo was pointing at.

Meanwhile Zoemi...

|How could this be –Surou already confessed and the heroine had clearly accepted – that should have been it!|

...was pulling out the vials with mana potions hysterically in preparation for the worst outcome that was about to be unleashed...

|WHY?! It will be a bad ending! Straight up bad ending for everyone! So the chronological order isn't important after all?! How does that make any sense?!|

The black-haired boy gritted his teeth while clenching his hands already looking for the most suitable spell to use...

The heroine was feeling uncomfortable for some reason, this whole situation was reminding her of something but she couldn't quite put her hand on it...

|The game has already finished, right – Surou confessed – that should be it...|

She thought to herself checking if the engagement ring that the second prince gave her is still on her finger - or was receiving it just a dream.

The beautiful golden ring with one big diamond in the middle and two smaller blue ones to its sides glistened marvelously proving that it was a reality.

|Is it another event? No, that would not make sense... shouldn't the game end when either route was fully completed...? In the game setting, we are in the post-credit scene!|

For Burushitto it was a big problem – up until that point she used whatever knowledge she had about the game to get to that point in one piece.

In her inexperienced eyes of a young girl who never dated anyone else across both of her lives, the blue-haired second prince Surou was a perfect man - not only handsome but he loved her with all his heart too.

And was easy to manipulate too.

|...why is Zomei acting so weird – I healed him and all, why does he look like he was about to faint?|

Despite all that, the one person who got her attention the most turned out to be none other than the black-haired boy...

|Since Suoru's route should be over, maybe it is just Zoemi's route that is acting up...?

The blond heroine thought to herself furrowing her brows...

But unfortunately – she was completely wrong.

|It's just some after-credits scene and not a proper event... yes... for sure... nothing else makes sense... Nothing will happen...!|

She thought to herself clenching her thumbs praying for the lucky outcome.

But then - something happened – something that she did not expect...

"...impossible..."

Surou was staring at the announcement of his expulsion - he actually looked like a fish who suddenly found itself in a desert.

|Th-this can't be happening....!|
