I Give Up on the BL Novel's Male Leads - Chapter 121
Willai’s words prompted small bursts of laughter from the audience.
In contrast, Illein’s expression grew cold. The idea that Willai had feelings for her sent chills down her spine.
The Chairman noticed Illein’s reaction and decided to intervene.
“Student Willai, you are hereby suspended for one month.”
“Ah… okay!”
“But!”
The Chairman was not done.
“You are not to pursue Lady Illenas if she rejects you! That is common sense! Additionally, you must never insult Student Illein again! You will have to make a vow regarding this if you wish to continue attending the academy!”
Breaking a vow typically came with severe consequences.
“W-Will I die?”
“No, of course not. But you will face public humiliation every time you break it.”
“How?”
“From now on, if you insult Student Illein within the academy, Student Willai, your clothes will disappear.”
“What? Isn’t that public indecency?”
Willai asked, bewildered and wiping away his tears. The Chairman sighed.
“Not all of them will disappear.”
“Oh, I see… Understood. I’ll reflect on this.”
Relieved that he wouldn’t completely lose contact with Illenas, Willai nodded and wiped his tears away.
The chairman shook her head at Willai, feeling utterly exasperated by the conversation. Then, she turned her serious gaze toward Alisha.
“Student Alisha.”
“…Yes?”
Alisha had transformed into a compliant figure. Once a tormentor with a venomous glare toward Illein, she now stood quietly in a neat outfit, her hair tied back.
Her appearance was so different that students murmured in surprise.
Alisha was known for frequently altering her uniform to fit her style, earning demerits regularly.
The transformation she had undergone left her peers astonished.
“Your offense is different from Student Willai’s, and its severity is greater.”
“Wait, I…”
The Chairman cut Alisha off, speaking in an authoritative tone.
Her previous experience with Willai had made her wary. If she didn’t take control from the start, she wasn’t sure where the conversation would lead, so she pressed on sternly.
“You attempted to frame Student Illein. By claiming that your wallet was stolen, you trivialized Student Illein’s financial issues and regarded him as the culprit. Do you have anything to say about this?”
“No, what did I do wrong? If my wallet went missing and there’s the poorest student, wouldn’t it make sense to suspect him?”
The Chairman, already aware of all the details, felt a sense of disbelief at Alisha’s response. How could she be so brazen?
Moreover, both her expression and the emotions in her voice genuinely screamed injustice, which was infuriating.
The Chairman felt no desire to continue listening to such shamelessness. In fact, she didn’t even consider checking the truth of Alisha’s words through the brooch.
Irredeemable. That word popped into the Chairman’s mind.
“According to the testimony submitted by the police, it was Student Phenon who put the wallet into Illein’s desk drawer, and he claims he was acting under your orders, Student Alisha.”
Alisha was taken aback by the betrayal from Phenon and glared at him. His confession was completely unexpected, which added to her shock.
Why on earth had he betrayed her? Phenon hadn’t taken the truth serum and was not part of the investigation.
Alisha felt a wave of betrayal wash over her, wanting to confront Phenon. But she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
“Didn’t you realize that this could lead to expulsion?”
The chairman spoke solemnly as she looked down at Alisha.
“I-I…!”
Alisha stumbled over her words, feeling utterly lost. The situation was too overwhelming.
Not only had she been betrayed by a trusted friend, but the disciplinary committee had been convened unexpectedly, leaving her unprepared.
This was due to the academy deliberately not announcing the date of the disciplinary committee in advance.
Melias, Damon, and Edwin did not want this.
They didn’t want the students involved to learn the date beforehand and use their family influence.
If that happened, they might not face the consequences they deserved.
Not every student who had bullied Illein was in a powerful family, but most of them were.
If they had known the date of the disciplinary committee in advance, they might have sent lawyers from their families.
Thus, they had preemptively blocked such possibilities.
For this reason, Alisha hadn’t been able to prepare properly. But one thing was clear to her:
The entire situation was turning against her. This realization fueled her anger.
