Chapter 477: Like a Tiger (1)
It was not particularly surprising for elite schools to give noble students a mere slap on the wrist when they committed wrongdoings.
Even the most neutral schools were, in the end, tied to their nations, and even mages carried national allegiances.
But Stella Academy was different.
Although many of its professors retained their national identities, the principal, vice-principal, board members, and elders had long renounced theirs, trading them for greater authority and a loftier status.
In other words, Stella aimed to remain unshaken by any external influences. That was its principle.
As nobles couldn’t leverage their status to sway professors, student evaluations and disciplinary actions were handled with striking fairness.
Of course, there were rare cases where certain students received special treatment.
However, Stella was widely known for treating all students fairly.
When a noble committed a wrongdoing, they were punished appropriately without leniency. Conversely, if a commoner achieved something remarkable, they were rewarded properly without favoritism toward noble students.
For that reason, the incident where Flame, who assaulted a member of the royal family, received only a 30-day suspension was considered highly unusual.
To most, it seemed as if the academy itself was shielding an ordinary student.
