The so-called "Velium Academy Girls' Dormitory Explosion Incident" was ultimately swept under the rug thanks to a collaborative effort between the Headmistress, the Crown Prince, and a special guest appearance by the Red Tower Master.

Given the current situation at the front lines and the previous Velium Forest incident, it was explained that while attempting to strengthen defensive magic in preparation for any unforeseen events, a sequence in the magic circle was botched.

Some people were skeptical, wondering how such a mistake could not only destroy an entire building but also devastate the nearby park. However, these doubts didn't last long.

Not only did the Headmistress and the Crown Prince acknowledge the explanation as true, but even the notoriously proud Red Tower Master admitted to the mistake. The Tower Masters from other magic towers and even the Saint all testified in agreement.

No mere noble could challenge a group of individuals so influential that even the Emperor would hesitate to oppose them.

"Everyone seems to have accepted it. They should, of course," I said, reflecting on the situation.@@novelbin@@

Naturally, it was all a carefully orchestrated plan. The Headmistress, the Crown Prince, and Rosaria were in on it from the start, and the other Tower Masters were persuaded with promises of swordsmanship and status recovery magic.

Apparently, the mages at the Mage Association even fought over who would take the blame when they learned about it a month in advance. As the result showed, the final victor was the Red Tower Master.

"We’re fortunate there were no casualties. If anyone had died, this wouldn't have been so easily brushed aside."

The lack of casualties was crucial, allowing compensation to be made through monetary means for the damaged property. If even one person had died, there would have been continuous complaints.

Especially since the dormitory where Aria resided housed many top-ranking students, many of whom were nobles, due to the Academy's system of assigning dorms based on grades.

However, there was one official casualty.

"We remember her brilliance and genius with deep sorrow..."

The sole casualty was the Academy’s runner-up, Aria April.

Her official cause of death was attributed to monsters. It was said that while returning home to support her family after the incident, she was ambushed by a group of lost monsters.

Considering what she had done to us, it wouldn’t have been surprising if we had attached all sorts of disgraceful causes of death to her name, but Leona's honor was also at stake, so it was agreed that she had been ambushed.
