A few days passed, and a sense of calm returned to the academy.
Although the student protests had been quite vocal, they scattered like birds and beasts after the academy took a hard line and expelled one or two of the ringleaders.
Ultimately, whether or not one remained at the academy could even be a matter of life and death under certain Apocalypse Rules.
During the time of the Blood Plague, for example, anyone who wasn't an academy student and failed to get their hands on high-spec protective gear right away would have truly died if they got infected.
It was precisely because of that experience that when faced with the prospect of expulsion, most students knew what the right choice was.
However, after this incident, the academy tightened its administration and began enforcing the school rules much more strictly.
