[BL] Challenge: 100 Baby in Fantasy World-Chapter 267: Suspension

Gara said nothing more and neither did Agus. The old vampire clearly didn’t want to dig deeper into such a sensitive topic right now.

Every problem had its own time to be solved. And for now, his focus was Gara’s dimensional space that somehow existed right in the middle of the Mist.

Just as the boys were about to leave, Agus stopped them with a surprising statement.

"Starting tomorrow, I’ll enter your dimensional space and explore that road myself, Gara."

"You want to explore it alone, sir?" Gara asked, stunned.

"Yes," Agus replied calmly. "Don’t worry. I’ll settle the matter about that drugged elixir before tomorrow. And even if it’s not fully resolved, I’ll leave it to my assistant while keeping it under control."

Gara didn’t know how to respond.

A space that worked both as a storage and a teleportation door was already a groundbreaking discovery, and the five-hundred-year-old vampire wanted to dive straight into it without hesitation.

All Gara could do was nod.

The three of them then excused themselves and returned to the dorm. Once inside Gara’s room, they immediately entered the dimensional home together.

"Gara, what did Sir Agus Soren say about your Talent?" Wina greeted him with a question before he could even sit. "I called Sir Tristan earlier, and he said Sir Agus is someone trustworthy."

Gara explained everything that had happened, including the old vampire’s decision to explore the outer road.

"I’ll prepare a guest room for him," Wina said immediately, taking the initiative. "But what about the triplets? Will we keep their identities hidden?"

"Uncle Tristan told me to be honest, but after seeing how Sir Agus handles things, I think it’s better not to give him more information. Let him focus on exploring the road outside," Gara replied thoughtfully.

He was worried that the vice headmaster might question who the triplets’ father was. After all, there weren’t many devils living in human territory.

"If the day comes when we can’t avoid it and the triplets are discovered, then I’ll explain everything to Sir Agus," Gara added quietly. "But not before that."

He’d do everything he could to keep the truth sealed for as long as possible.

Wina nodded in agreement, then prepared one of the larger guest rooms on the first floor for Agus.

Meanwhile, the couches and furniture from the first-floor lounge were moved upstairs so the triplets wouldn’t need to go down.

Gara also contacted Hilda to order some appropriate furnishings for the guest room, though it would take some time for them to arrive.

...

The next day, Andine finally rejoined Gara and the others in the cafeteria after being absent for quite a while.

Her presence alone served as an unspoken confirmation to everyone else that nothing serious had happened to them.

As for the drug incident during the Class S duel, there was still no conclusive result. Andine, once suspected as the main culprit, had been cleared from the list entirely.

While sipping his salty soup, Gara scanned the room but found no sign of Mona.

"The truth will come out soon," Madha murmured, patting Gara’s hand resting idly on his thigh and giving it a gentle squeeze.

Gara turned to him, and for a moment, their eyes met— deep, unspoken warmth flowing between them.

Even now, Madha could still make his heart race with just a simple touch.

"Revan, are you serious?!"

Their moment was cut short by Miki’s shrill voice. The rat boy was chasing after Revan, who walked ahead at his usual relaxed pace. So relaxed that Miki, with his shorter legs, kept falling behind.

Revan didn’t answer until he reached Gara’s table.

When Miki noticed him, his attention quickly shifted. With his usual dramatic flair, he said, "Mona’s already been punished. Turns out the case was processed yesterday."

"That fast?" Gara frowned. They’d spent the entire evening with Agus yesterday until sunset. How could the verdict come so soon?

Miki turned to Revan. "The rumors are all over the place. Some say she was seen leaving with a big bag yesterday afternoon. That’s why I wanted to ask Revan about it."

At once, everyone at the table turned to look at him.

Revan sighed. "I’m not saying this twice. I want to tell you all once everyone’s here."

They all nodded. Not every student from Class S was present, but everyone involved in Mona’s case was.

"Mona wasn’t directly proven to be the one who slipped drugs into the elixir Andine gave you all," Revan began. "And the drug residue that was supposed to be found in her arm, turns out there was nothing."

He glanced at Gara, since it had been the young human who made that claim.

"I was bluffing," Gara admitted calmly. "To strengthen another suspicion and get her to confess."

"So Mona isn’t punished because there’s no proof?!" Andine shot up from her seat, voice rising.

"Calm down," Revan said, gently pulling her back down. "She did confess, and that alone was enough to make her the culprit.

Professor Langga confirmed what Mona said. Everything she claimed he told her was true. But he didn’t expect her to interpret his words that way. He said he only meant to motivate her."

"Good," Andine huffed, relieved. "I knew Professor Langga wouldn’t try to pit students against each other. Mona’s the one who took everything too far."

Hearing Andine defend Langga, Gara chose to stay quiet. Even with evidence right before them, people still couldn’t see how cunning that man truly was.

’Even if no one else realizes it... I’ll never trust that man again,’ Gara thought.

"So," Miki said, steering the talk back on track, "what punishment did she get?"

"Suspension for the rest of the semester," Revan replied. "She won’t get any grades this term, and next semester she’ll have to make up for it with extra classes."

"Just suspension?" Gara blinked.

Coming from a world with mandatory schooling, where skipping class was a dream, suspension sounded more like a legal vacation than a punishment for him.

The extra classes didn’t sound that bad either.

"It’s not the suspension that hurts," Revan clarified, "but the extra classes next term."

’What’s so bad about taking a few extra classes?’ Gara thought.

But before he could ask, Miki chimed in with a knowing look.

"At the start of every term, the academy announces the names of students taking extra classes. That means everyone knows who messed up. Their reputation’s ruined instantly."
