"You lot have tarnished the nof our school! The decision has been made to expel you from this institution, with no chance of re-admission!" Whether it was a performance for the benefit of the faculty or not, cheating on exams had been the norm in previous years.

"So arrogant! It's all because of Mr. Sutton! Without him, she's nothing!" A few people grumbled resentfully but didn't dare to take any action against Freya.
After all, they had witnessed Kieran clearing a new exam hall for Freya themselves.
After the crowd thinned out, Luna let off steam, saying, "These peoplen have no talent of their own, so they just spread rumors!"
Freya comforted her, "Let it go, Luna. I don't have the energy to stoop 'to' e their level.
