BXBX NOVEL Chapter 251 Countermeasure 2
The classes carried on throughout the day, while the recording continued to dominate discussions within the academy. The situation, though not entirely unexpected, had become a source of disruption and concern.
That was both normal and not at the same time.
The reason was pretty simple. All those things that were happening around the academy were something that needed to be taken care of. From the first week of the academy, scandals were happening in a row. First, the rumors surrounding the rank-one student and then the recording that was spread around the academy.
The purpose of an academy was to foster education and personal growth, and the current events deviated from that objective. Recognizing the need for action, the academy sought to regain control and quell the escalating tensions among the students.
And at that moment, something came to their rescue.
Not something but someone.
A group of people that was widely known all around the world.
"Who are those people?" a student whispered, observing three figures walking through the academy grounds.
"Hmm?" Another student turned to look, their gaze fixing on the shimmering golden armor adorning the newcomers. "Paladins of the church?" they wondered aloud, recognizing the distinct attire.
"Paladins? What?" The students swiftly composed themselves, their curiosity piqued by the palpable aura emanating from the approaching figures.
It was at that point everything inside the academy started returning to normal, though for some it was the point of their plans being ruined…..
********
As the paladins entered the academy, the one that was leading had a serious expression on his face. "Once again, with this scandal." He spoke as he reached the management building. "This kid, they won\'t leave him alone, won\'t they."
Receiving his words, the one paladin behind him asked. "I don\'t understand any of this, Captain Gabriel. Why are they doing that? And who are the ones that are doing this." As he spoke, the captain slowed his steps.
"Last time, the investigation was futile as we couldn\'t find any trace in the church. But now we have another chance as they had shown themselves once again, as that young man said, to think he could foresee this much." Captain Gabriel spoke as his gaze wandered around the hall of the building.
"Ah, you must be Mister Gabriel." At that moment, a woman approached them. "Please come with me. Chairwoman Seraphina is waiting for you in her room." The woman looked like a secretary.
"Please show the way." Captain Gabriel nodded his head as he started following the woman walking. \'
Just like that, the paladins followed the woman as they reached the chamber.
"Please, wait here. You will be teleported soon…."
Just like that, the woman left the chamber, and following that, three men disappeared from the place they were standing.
*******
"Hey, what is this?" As the students of the academy were walking in the midst of the halls, suddenly, their bracelets rang as a notification came.
"Did you get the notification as well?" The student asked his friend.
"Yes. It looks like this is a general notice?" His friend answered as he looked around to see the reactions of others. Just as he said, all students had the same expression on their faces.
Well, not all of them, since some students just ignored the notification and went on.
In any case, as the students achieved the bracelets and navigated through the panel, they saw a notice come from the academy.

Subject: Rumors and Formal Apology
Dear Students,
We would like to address the rumors that have been circulating within our academy since the beginning of the semester. It has come to our attention that false accusations have caused distress and confusion among our student body.
Firstly as an academy that values the virtues of learning above anything else, we always wanted to ensure a competitive and realistic way of education manner; therefore, we always had the policy to not meddle in the affairs of students and their relationships.
Recently, a group of self-appointed vigilantes entered our academy claiming to bring justice. Unfortunately, their presence has put the safety of our students and education in jeopardy, leaving us with no choice but to take action.
First and foremost, we want to assure you that the rumors surrounding a certain student, Callius, have been thoroughly investigated by our esteemed guests, the Paladins of the Sacred Flame.
The problem originated from false allegations made against Student Callius three years ago. At that time, Student Callius was a member of the esteemed Augustrides family. While we need not delve into the specifics of the past, it is important to note that during that period, Callius was unjustly accused. However, the dedicated and honorable paladins, known for their commitment to justice and truth, have conducted a thorough investigation. Their findings reveal the evidence to go against the allegations against Callius, thus clearing his name of any wrongdoing.
In light of these recent events, we are pleased to inform you that the Paladins of the Sacred Flame will be delivering a formal apology regarding the false accusations. Their presence and statement aim to bring clarity and restore peace within our academy.
We understand that such rumors can cause division and unrest within our community. We apologize for any distress or harm caused by these false accusations and assure you that the academy is committed to maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment for all.
Therefore, at the same time, as the staff of our academy, we will conduct a joint investigation with the personnel of the church related to the false rumors and the vigilante action in our academy.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for the distress caused by these rumors. Let us stand together as a community, supporting one another with kindness, compassion, and a commitment to the truth.
If you\'re interested in viewing the formal apology, you can find it in the attachments section.
Yours sincerely,
Academy Administration

As the students went through the long notice that came from the academy, most of them had complex emotions on their faces, as they couldn\'t believe what they were seeing.
"So, he was innocent…." One of the students mumbled to herself.
As the academy once again filled with the uproar…..

Writing this notice was hard. Now, at this point, you must have already seen what Callius had envisioned, but I will still clarify his thought processes.
Now, it is time to trample the pride of our protagonist slightly....
