"… Valiant Hall uses 20% of resources allocated for students without ever participating in resource competitions…"

"… Valiant Hall has exactly 793 cases of corruption in just this past half year alone since we began to track…"

"… Case 1: Student Aderil, guilty of embezzling merit points…"

"… Case 2: Student Xiron, guilty of embezzling merit points…"

"… Case 3: Student Faeynore, guilty of embezzling merit points…"

"… Case 7: Student Ren, guilty of exchanging merit points for favors..."

"… Case 8: Student Engkas, guilty of exchanging merit points for favors…"

"… Case 11: Student Morgo, guilty of exchanging merit points in exchange for sexual favors…"

Like a monotonous drone, Raylion began to list all the instances of the past half year. The stories were packed with such detail that one found it difficult to believe that they were fake. Things were only made worse by the fact these individuals of Valiant Hall weren't presence to defend themselves.

Things only continued to become more and more oppressive the more time Raylion spent speaking. It seemed that he had done thing on purpose, placing the most benign crimes ahead of the quickly worsening ones.

Explanations of exploitation, theft, and even sexual assault and violence were described in vivid detail, leaving many sitting in a state of half being at a loss and another half truly uncomfortable.

"… Case 22: Student Salor, guilty of …"

"… Case 31: Student Kirs, guilty of …"

"… Case 47: Teacher…"

The moment Raylion said the word teacher, the entire arena seemed to have deflated. It wasn't the kind of deflation one might experience from a waning balloon, but rather the kind that one would experience the second after a bomb dropped… The kind of deflation where the world lost its sound, color and feel before a blinding light and a cacophonic boom assaulted the senses.
