Although the decision to shut down the Orbis Class had been taken, it obviously required time to take effect, and certain procedures had to be followed.
The students who had submitted withdrawal letters as part of the collective action were expelled by the Temple out of spite, but those who hadn’t would still remain in the Temple and had to be reassigned to other classes.
I understood that the first-year students had been taken to the main headquarters for protection against any reprisals from their seniors and were living there temporarily.
Both seniors and juniors were likely being investigated, so the seniors would still be living in the Orbis Class dormitory building.
If Oscar had submitted his withdrawal letter, I might have to go into the imperial palace, Emperatos, to find him. Whether I would be allowed to enter or not was another matter, but I was confident that Oscar hadn’t withdrawn, and that he wouldn’t be punished either.

If things got critical, Sarkegar would intervene. I didn’t know how I’d explain it if that happened, but for the moment, he was my insurance policy.
No matter the situation, it was better than dying.
Oscar killing me in the middle of the Temple would cost his own head as well, so he wouldn’t try anything extreme.
Even though I had visited the Orbis Class just once, the class was now shut down.
I might as well have been some kind of harbinger of disaster. Honestly, being the Demon King, it kind of fit.
There wasn’t a single person in the Orbis Class who would view me favorably.
