Chapter 172
Chapter 173 Judgment Ends, Power Awakens
“Students,” Helen announced, “Divine and Demonic Academy will never accept students with poor character. The four criminals, whether alive or dead, are expelled and permanently banned p>
No one disagreed.
The trial was officially over.
Joanna left the courtroom as calmly as if she were walking out of her own home.
In truth, she had killed Alfie herself. But according to the Space Alliance system’s calculations, Joanna’s value far exceeded that of the dead Alfie. Since the court could not confirm the truth, the case was closed.
Even if the truth had been discovered, Joanna still had a solid excuse. She could claim she never clearly saw their faces and believed they were members of another hostile force.
That would still count as self-defense.
Four pieces of rot were removed in one sweep. Joanna felt satisfied. She had no desire to study alongside trash like that.
“Thank you all for helping me,” Joanna said. “You were dragged into this because of me. I brought some fruit as a small thank-you gift p>
She handed out fruit baskets one by one. Each basket contained Gold-tier fruit.
The students were thrilled. Many of them added Joanna as a friend.
After the crowd slowly dispersed, one student lingered outside the group. He hesitated, then walked over.
“Joanna, I’m sorry,” he said quietly. “I made mistakes before. This time, I didn’t stop them either. I want to apologize. This is my compensation p>
Herbert took out his gift. It was an advanced gene serum. Each injection granted extra attribute points and could only be registered by level 20 players or above.

One shot cost 2 million. Herbert had bought 10 shots, boxed neatly as a gift set.
During the trial, Herbert had testified as well. He confirmed that Keith and the others were the ones who tried to harm Joanna.
So his faults and merits canceled each other out.
The most annoying kind of person was someone who knew they were wrong and still refused to admit it.
As for people who admitted their mistakes in the end, Joanna would accept the apology, but she would not become friends with them.
She had more than enough people who truly supported her.
“Alright,” Joanna said. “I accept the apology gift. I hope you choose your words and actions more carefully in the future p>
Herbert let out a long breath.
“I will. I promise p>
He looked at Joanna one last time. She was wearing a cloak, and he couldn’t see her face.
But he already knew.
When Joanna streamed live, she never hid her appearance. She was beautiful.
Thinking back, no one had actually seen what the current Joanna looked like since the start of class.
Her talent was affinity, yet she had never used it to hurt classmates or gain unfair advantages.
Everything had been wild suspicion on their part.
If none of this had happened, he might have truly pursued her.
But now, he knew he wasn’t worthy.
