Headmistress: "You've returned."
Steven: "We brought them."
Headmistress: "You should've—"
She notices the little girl and changes her tone.
Headmistress: "They've wasted enough of our time already. These criminals and going to face the full extent of Esnia's law."
No matter what tone she takes it's obvious that she's pissed. It has to be about the girl they put in the infirmary. Though, I can't really make the connection. Who is that girl in the infirmary and is she important to the Headmistress?
Rayna and I began to move the bandits from the wheelbarrow to the floor. Whatever is happening to these people, it's not going to be pretty. I caught the Headmistress eyeing the weapons we left on the benches several times. Maybe I should get the little girl out of here as a precaution.
Rayna: "He's still alive… stop faking it or I'll slit your throat as I did to the rest of your friends."
Steven: "Rayna—!"
I'm definitely getting her out of here! I have to worry about them both!
Steven: "Can you take the girl to Madelyn? She's in my dorm."
Guard #2: "Sure thing."
The little girl followed him without second-guessing it. I suppose she knew what was going to happen. Even if she does, I'm glad she won't be around to witness it. I have a feeling the bandits won't be leaving alive.
Headmistress: "Steven… Rayna… just know that you don't have to do this."
Rayna: "He shot my husband. I should kill him myself."
I'm this far in so I may as well see it through.
Steven: "I'm in."
Guard #1: "Headmistress, I don't wish to be a part of this."
Headmistress: "That's fine, you're excused."
It was down to the 3 of us now. We waited for them to wake up. They were slowly starting to grunt and twitch. The only one that was still unresponsive was Geralda. I pointed it out to her and she checked her for a pulse.
Rayna: "Geralda didn't make it. I believe she bled to death while unconscious."
Headmistress: "I was planning to kill them all myself."
Steven: "Right here in the locker room?"
Headmistress: "Where else?"
It might be the most private but I would've gone for a deep, off the beaten path location in the forest. There would be a good chance nobody will find them depending on how far we go.
We had to tie the remaining 3 up to prevent a struggle. I had Mayer and I made sure my rope was extra tight. I didn't expect either the Headmistress or Rayna to know how to tie someone up but they ended up surprising me. Their knots were secure and tight.
As we waited a little longer, Mayer was one of the first to wake up.
Mayer: "You're tying me up? To torture me? Bah, you don't even know what you're doing!"
Steven: "I'm pretty sure I do. A big scary Demon taught me how to catch other big scary Demons."
Headmistress: "What you've done to these students is inexcusable."
Mayer: "I don't even know what you're talking about."
Headmistress: "Try telling that to the girl in the infirmary."
She brought up the girl again, making me want to know how important she is even more.
Rayna and the Headmistress took turns beating and kicking Mayer. I opted out because I couldn't bring myself to do it and used my honor as an excuse for not wanting to kick a bound man. Rayna's kicks were fierce and aimed at the abdomen, which always winded him. It was worse when the Headmistress did it because she was wearing high heels and kept kicking indiscriminately.
Saxton: "Ah, shit. Where am I?! Who the fuck are you?!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the duo smelled blood in the air and moved over to pummel him. They had an energy spike and the beatings weren't letting up even after they started spitting up blood mixed with vomit.

Sophie: "Saxton! Stop! Please don't hurt him!"
Headmistress: "Last I recall, he was the one who murdered one of our guards."
She delivers a hard kick to her abdomen and winds her. It drove Saxton mad to the point where he was able to get up on his knees. However, he didn't get very far as Rayna kicked him in the head and knocked him back down.
It didn't take a genius to figure out that Saxton and Sophie were probably an item. The Headmistress even used it against Saxton by goading him to attack by hurting Sophie. Was it working? Well, I've never seen someone so filled with rage before.
Headmistress: "I'm fine with some amount of delinquency… but once you harm someone you will be hunted. We just doubled down after what happened to that girl in the infirmary."
I haven't felt so divided on what I should do. Part of me believes they should be legally tried as criminals. The other half says they deserve even worse.
Unlike the men, the Headmistress and Rayna weren't as brutal on Sophie. She was crying and begging, so maybe that's why. Still, they beat the shit out of her. She just got off easier by comparison.
Saxton: "Is this how you get your kicks? By beating pregnant women?! You don't even care if you kill a child!"
Headmistress: "Funny… I thought you didn't have any qualms about killing others. So, why should we?"
How long are they going to beat them? It's like they have an unlimited amount of stamina! I'd expect them to get their point across long ago but the kicks are still being dished to everyone. It's not like they're enjoying this, Rayna has the look of disgust and the Headmistress is still pissed. She's definitely acting on emotion.
Saxton: "And you! Standing there—"
Steven: "Bring me into this and you'll regret it, boy."
Saxton: "Hah, you don't have the balls! Ooh~ what are you going to do, kill us?"
Rayna lifts Geralda's body and drops it in front of her group. They all got a good look at her and stared in disbelief. It's like none of them expected death to be a possibility. Once it registered with them, the fear and heavy breathing enveloped them.
If they read the murderous intent that was irradiated by Rayna and the Headmistress, then maybe it wouldn't be a surprise. Sophie was the most vocal about it, screaming at the top of her lungs until she was kicked by Rayna.
Sophie: "Geralda! No!"
Mayer: "Relax! We'll get through this! We always do!"
Headmistress: "No… you won't…"
Rayna: "Let me see the pistol, Steven."
She whispered.
Steven: "You sure about this? You don't have to go all the way."
Rayna: "It's not for me."
I slipped the pistol and the powder container into her hands.
She fiddled with the frizzen and hammer trying to make sense of it. A minute of fiddling and she begins to carefully load the pistol. For someone that didn't know what a pistol was, she loaded it with relative ease. She has to be experienced with firearms to a degree.
Once she had the pistol loaded and the hammer cocked, it gets handed off to the Headmistress. She waved it around between the 3 deciding who'd be the first to get shot.
Mayer: "Are you going to kill us now? Is that it?"
Headmistress: "Yes, starting with you."
A bright flash and an ear-piercing bang quickly went out. It made everyone flinch and cause smoke to fly everywhere. The smell of burnt powder filled our noses. As we looked back at the Headmistress, she stood over Mayer's immobile body. A decently sized hole between his eyes.
Saxton: "Fuck!"
Sophie: "Saxton!"
The Headmistress backs away and places the pistol down on the benches. Did she reach her limit? She lifts one of our swords and looks back to Saxton. The sword trembled in her hands. I knew then that she'd never killed someone before and currently trying to process it in her mind.
Rayna carefully grabbed the sword from her hands and tried to get her calmed down. She can't keep this up and I won't let her take another life while I'm around. There's no need for anyone else to die. After all, their leader was dead.
Rayna: "We're in this together. I killed Geralda."
Then again, there's never a clear end to things.
She reaches out with the sword in her hands trying to hand it to me. We really are in this together. The best way I can do this is to make it quick. I lifted the sword and point to Saxton, who had been watching us quietly and in fear.
I kicked and flipped him on his stomach. He tried struggling but I held him in place by keeping my boot on his back. A quick slash at the back of his neck would kill him quickly. I held my breath and swooped down with the sword; cutting most of his neck. His body jolted before he starts lying motionless in a pool of his own blood.
Rayna: "We're done here."
Steven: "What do we do with her?"
I point towards Sophie, who had curled up in a ball and started crying softly.
Rayna: "It's up to you. Do you kill her or spare her?"
Sophie…
I'm not sure if Saxton was telling the truth about her being pregnant because she doesn't look like it. I won't kill her but I don't want to spare her and send her into the wild. If she's an idiot then she'll be coming back to try and kill us in our sleep. No, we need to make sure she learned her lesson. The best course of action would be to send her off to prison.
Steven: "I'm sure she's aware of what happens if you cross the Academy. Send her to prison for accessory to murder."
Rayna: "Smart choice. If this didn't teach her a lesson then prison will. Fear can be an excellent teacher. She'll be out in say… 10 years?"
Now that the bandits were dealt with, another problem appears. The Headmistress is still shaken up. It really was her first time killing someone. In hindsight, it definitely was a bad idea to put her through that.
Steven: "Are you fine, Headmistress?"
Rayna and I sat beside her and tried comforting her.
Headmistress: "Y-yes… it was my… my first…"
Steven: "I understand how you feel, Headmistress."
Headmistress: "Y-you do?"
Steven: "I know it's scary… we believe we can handle it but once it comes down to it, we hesitate. It feels like time freezes and we're stuck forever. Then when that arrow starts flying through the air, everything becomes really fast and blurry. You don't understand what had happened until after the deed is done."
The Headmistress takes both of our hands with hers. She quietly sat there holding our hands in her lap. Her face filled with sorrow the more she started to think.
Headmistress: "How do you live with it?"
Rayna: "By knowing what we do is right. They would've kept hurting people if we hadn't stopped them."
Headmistress: "Who was the first person you killed?"
Steven: "Bandits… the first time I had to kill happened because my friend was kidnapped by bandits."
Headmistress: "Was it Madelyn?"
Steven: "No… her name is Niroja. She's a Goblin."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Headmistress: "You've returned."
Steven: "We brought them."
Headmistress: "You should've—"

In hindsight, it definitely was a bad idea to put her through that.Steven: "Are you fine, Headmistress?"Rayna and I sat beside her and tried comforting her.Headmistress: "Y-yes it was my my first"Steven: "I understand how you feel, Headmistress."Headmistress: "Y-you do?"Steven: "I know it's scary we believe we can handle it but once it comes down to it, we hesitate. It feels like time freezes and we're stuck forever. Then when that arrow starts flying through the air, everything becomes really fast and blurry. You don't understand what had happened until after the deed is done."The Headmistress takes both of our hands with hers. She quietly sat there holding our hands in her lap. Her face filled with sorrow the more she started to think.Headmistress: "How do you live with it?"Rayna: "By knowing what we do is right. They would've kept hurting people if we hadn't stopped them."Headmistress: "Who was the first person you killed?"Steven: "Bandits the first time I had to kill happened because my friend was kidnapped by bandits."Headmistress: "Was it Madelyn?"Steven: "No her name is Niroja. She's a Goblin."
