In the third School Chapter, our favorite Karlsland Witches, more precisely one of them, will be having problems with school's laws and headmaster.
Without further ado.

,,It wasn't me"

09:23
History Classroom
Lesson was dragging on like it never had to end. Erica was hardly focusing on what teacher was saying.
"…GDR forces advanced through FRG…"history teacher continued.
Professor Helmut Fünerling was a middle aged, in middle of his 40s. He had short brown hair and visible belly. He was dressed in German infantry uniform.
Suddenly, he put his head on the blackboard and started snoring. Nobody was paying attention on this, because it was happening all the time. Professor could fell asleep in the middle of the lesson and wake up, continuing what he was saying, like nothing happened.
Because of this, some people started talking, others took their phones and started writing messages or playing games.
"Finally some time for sleep"Erica thought
She put her head on her desk and started snoring like the teacher.
Not soon after she closed her eyes, she heard a voice:
"Maybe lieutenant Hartmann will say something more about GDR-FRG War, hm?"
This immediately woke Erica up. She didn't knew how long she was sleeping, but teacher was already awake and all eyes were turned on her.
"Um…I…It was like…"she tried to say.
Teacher nodded his head.
"As I thought. Let's get back to the subject. And no more sleeping"he pointed out.
Everyone started giggling and Erica tried to hide, but had nowhere to go.
09:57
Corridor
Erica was sitting under the wall, with her legs pulled to her face and face covered in hands. She was still thinking about this what just happened.
"Hartmann? Why are you sitting like that?"Barkhorn asked, stopping next to Erica.
"I fell asleep on lesson and teacher scolded"Erica replied.
Barkhorn just rolled up her eyes. But seeing how broken Erica was because of that, she thought that it would be better if she'll try to cheer her up.
"You see, falling asleep is not worst thing that can happen to you on lesson"she said.
Erica looked at her friend.
"Really?"she asked.
"Really"Barkhorn replied"Ursula once told me what happened to her. She woke up in the morning and noticed that she's late for lessons. So she quickly took everything and ran to the class. There, when she stood in the door, everyone immediately laughed. It was that moment, when she noticed that she's in her pajamas".
Blonde Witch laughed a bit.
"Yeah. Maybe it's actually not the worst thing that could happen"she stated.
"Let's go now. We have to meet Minna in Bar&Grill"Barkhorn said.
Next, the two went to find Minna.
10:03
Deck 4
Minna, in the meantime, was on Deck 4, talking with Dorothee by phone. Dorothee, on the other hand, was on the second side of the ship.
"So, Minna. Will you give me private singing lessons?"Dorothee asked.
"Why is that?"Minna replied.
"Please, you're the best singer I know! And our music teacher said, that my singing is 'so bad that I could kill every being with it'"Dorothee pleaded.
Minna though about it for a moment and finally nodded her head.
"Okay. Can we meet tomorrow after the lessons?"she proposed.
"Sure! Thank you!"Dorothee said.
Dorothee disconnected and Minna hid her phone to pocket. But before she could walk away, she felt someone pulling her sleeve. When she turned, she didn't noticed anyone.
"Um…Down there…"female voice said.
Witch looked a bit down and saw a girl, with height reaching Minna's chest. It was girl from her class, Ingrid Shnellinger. She had gray eyes and mouse blonde hair, tied in a single ponytail. Because of this, and because of her small height and her shy personality, she was always the one hard to notice in between other people. Ingrid was so unnoticeable that she even gained nickname 'Mousie' by other classmates. Others were joking, that she could be first ever Stealth soldier, because no enemy would ever turn their attention on her.
"Oh, hey. What do you need?"Minna asked.
"Oh, I…wanted to ask…how did you get such hair color?"Ingrid murmured.
Minna tilted her head a little.
"I just imbued them. Chestnut is my original color"she explained.
"Thanks!"Ingrid said and ran away.
Next, Minna turned around and went to Bar&Grill, thinking:
"I wonder why she needed this information?"
10:12
Bar&Grill
Truth-Chingiz
"And she just asked you how you got your hair color?"Barkhorn asked.
Minna told them about this what Ingrid asked her about.
"Yeah. I just wonder, why she needed that?"Minna replied.
Erica took another sip of her tea and looked at her commander.
"Maybe she want to replace you?"she stated"Yesterday I watched a movie with Florian, Luca and Markus. The 6th Day, I think I was called. There, some pilot discovers that he was replaced with copy of himself".
Barkhorn just snorted.
"It was just a movie, Hartmann. This world is advanced, but not to make copies of people. Maybe Ingrid just wanted to change the color"she said.
"Maybe you're right. But you're gonna remember my words"Erica stated.
Then, the bell ringed. Barkhorn grabbed her backpack and stood up.
"I have biology now. And don't think about this case with Ingrid. It surely nothing"she said.
Next, all Witches walked in separate ways.

Headmaster's office
Headmaster Kurt Esherting was sitting in his office, trying to find out how to use this computer, he had installed in his office just two weeks ago. It was true, that one of students lately showed him how to use it, but he already forgot this. As someone, who grew up in East Germany, things connected with computer were sometimes the hardest for him.
But he needed to get some recordings from security cameras from girls toilet on Deck 1. It's not like he was some kind of pervert, who likes to look at girls in toilet, but charwoman today found a bottle after wine in the trash bin in toilet.
But how that guy was doing it? He was clicking somewhere there, then there and there…Headmaster saw a text field with word 'Search' on it. He pressed it and written 'girls toilet on Deck 1'. Next, he waited until everything will load and on screen appeared saved files with recordings and current preview.
The cursor went in direction of file signed 'Yesterday' and pressed it. Recording started, showing everything what happened since the midnight. Student also showed headmaster, how to speed the recording up. Esherting saw the double arrow button and pressed it. Recording immediately started to go fast forward, passing hours in just simple seconds.
There it is! Not bad as for someone grown up in GDR. At 18:21, red haired girl approached the corner of the toilet and reached her bag. From inside, she took the bottle of wine, the same as the one charwoman gave to headmaster.
Girl put bottle to her mouth and quickly drank all of it. Next, she approached the trash bin and threw bottle inside and simply left the toilet, like nothing happened.
Headmaster fell on the backrest of his chair. He wanted it to not be true, but well. He knew only one red haired girl in whole school and he now had to talk to colonel Wilcke personally, face-to-face.
07:32
Corridor
Yesterday, after lessons and before Minna gave lessons to Dorothee, Barkhorn and Erica agreed to meet with Minna under her class, few minutes before the first bell. However, only three minutes left to bell and Minna was nowhere to be seen.
"We had to meet ten minutes ago. Where is she?"Erica asked.
"Trust me, Minna will come soon. You really doubt her?"Barkhorn replied.
Erica looked at her and quickly shook her head.
"Of course not, it's just…"she didn't ended.
Right then, they saw Minna walking in their direction.
"See? I told you"Barkhorn stated triumphantly.
However, except of stopping, Minna just passed them and walked away. She entered the classroom, not even paying attention on them. And Erica noticed one thing.
"Did Minna…shrunk?"she asked.
"What do you mean by this?"Minna asked.
Two Witches turned around, to see their commander standing right next to them. Next, again looked at the classroom door. And again at Minna.
"How did you done this?"Barkhorn asked.
"Did what?"Minna asked.
"You just walked next to us and entered classroom"Erica explained.
Minna just nodded her head.
"No. I just came here and I'm going to class now"she replied.
In that moment, the bell rang.
"That's what I'm talking about. Now, sorry, I have physics now"Minna said and walked away, leaving two confused Witches.
She entered the classroom, where almost everyone was already sitting and taking books. Minna approached her desk and also sat down. Next, she looked at Franz, which was in the same class as her and was sitting next to her.
"Are you okay?"Minna asked, seeing him shaking.
"Of course not. Today, she's giving back our exams. I'm sure she gave me the lowest grade"Franz replied.
"Oh, it can't be so bad"Minna tried to calm him down.
Everyone in school heard about the physics teacher, Helga Mafer. She was known from her love for giving smallest grades to almost everyone she had in class.
In that moment, door opened and teacher entered the class. Helga Mafer was around 53 years old, with black hair, with already visible traces of hoar. She had green eyes and was dressed in black jacket and pants.
"Oh, God I'm so stressed"Franz whispered.
She came up to the desk and sat down, opening the journal. She looked around the class. It was time to teach these young people something what they would need in life. And to give some sixes! (A/N: In Germany, 6 is the lowest grade, while 1 is highest).
Her eyes then stopped on red haired girl in the second end of the class. Her head was laying on the desk and she was surely sleeping. Mafer looked into journal and written 6 in the grill next to her name.
"When she wakes up, tell miss Wilcke that she has six for sleeping on lesson"teacher stated.
Minna felt her jaw almost dropping after hearing this. How she could give her six? She didn't done anything wrong. Especially, she was not sleeping.
"But I'm not sleeping!"Minna exclaimed.
Teacher then moved her sight on her and again at red haired girl in the second end of classroom. She just threw up her arms.
"Sorry, but it's already written. I can't change this"Mafer replied, with smile saying that truly she's not as sorry as she said.
Witch followed teachers sight and looked in the same direction, this time dropping her jaw for sure. Because on Ingrid's place was sitting another girl with red hair combed in the same style as Minna. Witch was just too surprised to say anything.
"So Erica was right"Minna though in disbelief.
In that moment, someone knocked to door.
"Enter!"Mafer ordered.
After she said that, door opened and two Kommando Spezialkrafte soldiers entered. They came up to Minna and stood over her.
"You're going with us. Headmaster wants to see you"first of them said with female voice.
Minna just sighed. She had no other choice, but to listen to them. She stood up and followed two soldiers.
Once the door closed, Mafer turned to the rest of class and said:
"Please, tell her that she has absence".
"But she was called by headmaster"someone in the back said.
"Absence is not punishment, but statement of fact"Mafer said as calm as she could"Now, it's time on your tests".
She took a pile of paper laying on her desk and started to walk from one desk to another, giving tests to their owners. Franz just landed on his desk, when he saw 6 on his test.
07:56
Headmaster's office
Minna knocked to the door and when she heard 'Please come in!' she pushed the handle and entered inside, with soldiers which led her here staying outside. Headmaster was simply sitting in his chair, behind the desk. Minna approached him and he showed her second chair, on the second side of the desk.
"Please, sit down"he said.
Witch took the chair and sat down on it.
"You wanted to see me, sir"she said.
"I wanted indeed, colonel"Esherting replied.
By next few seconds, only silence was heard in the office. Finally, headmaster leaned closer and looked in Minna's eyes.
"I don't accept any breaking of school's rules"he stated.
Minna's jaw dropped once again. First, she get bad grade because of Ingrid, then headmaster calls her and now this. When she would break these rules? And how she broke them?
Answer was delivered by headmaster. He turned his computer screen to her and showed the recording. On it, Minna entered the toilet, took bottle of wine from bag, drank all of it and threw to the trash bin.
But Minna payed attention on something else. More precisely, on bag carried by her on the recording. She didn't had such bag, but she knew who has.
"It wasn't me"she said.
"What?"Esherting asked.
"It's Ingrid Shnellinger, sir. She has such bag. Not me"Minna explained.
Headmaster looked at Minna, then on Minna on recording. For him, there was no difference and bag was not any evidence. She could change it since then.
"You think that I will believe in it?"he asked.
Witch just hung her head. It was visible, that girl on recording was shorter than her.
"I'm sorry. But in this school, we teach future soldiers of Germany and drinking alcohol, smoking and taking drugs is here known as one of biggest transgressions"Esherting started to explain"For this, an degradation and suspension in student's duties awaits you. I'm sorry, but it's only your fault, colonel".
Minna just couldn't believe. Back in their world, she was working so hard to get where she was now and she had to lose it…just like that?
She stood up and leaned over him, saying:
"And you know what I think about this? These rules are simple bullshit. Someone have to lose it's hard work only because he drank alcohol once? What if he just one time tried and never did this again? You take all of his achievements only because of this one time? It really wasn't me, please, ask Barkhorn and Erica. They can tell you, that I would never drink alcohol, you asshole".
Before she orientated what she was saying, she already said it. Esherting's face changed color into red and he was looking at Minna with real fury.
"I can't tolerate such behavior, colonel. Headmaster is also considered as part of pedagogical body and saying something like this to headmaster or any other teacher is unacceptable"he exclaimed.
He reached one of drawers in his desk and opened it. From there, headmaster took piece of paper and gave it to Minna.
She started to read it, with every word widening her eyes more and more.
"Court? But I…"she tried to say, but was stopped.
"If we can't take care of this peacefully, we need to do this in different way. See you tomorrow at the trial"Esherting explained.
Minna tried to oppose, but headmaster literally pointed her the door, so she knew it was over. She stood up and came up to the door.
On the outside, she met two commandos still standing there.
"You're gonna now lead me to my room, right?"she asked.
Commandos looked at each other and shook their heads.
"No, it's just…"female one tried to say"Headmaster never liked when somebody undermines his authority".
"And when he gets angry, he commonly makes decisions that are sometimes…drastic"second one, male, said.
Witch just looked at them.
"What are you trying to tell me by this?"she asked.
The two looked at each other and female commando replied:
"Just don't make him angry anymore".
Minna only nodded and walked away.
08:16
Bar&Grill
Diving In Too Deep-NerdOut! Subnautica Song
Paratroopers from Minna's squad were sitting at their table, listening to Franz's relation from what happened. He told them everything what happened on the lesson and some of them were, saying it lightly, not happy about that.
"Minna got bad grade only because Ingrid was sleeping?"Astrid asked in disbelief. She hit her opened hand with fist"I knew I should take care of this physics hag".
"Maybe better no, Trid"Dorothee said"You want to land in jail or, worse, be kicked out of school?"
This calmed Astrid down a little.
At this moment, Minna entered the bar and came up the squad. She sat next to them and just hung her head.
"Hey, are you okay?"Dora asked.
"Not quite"Minna answered, reaching her bag and giving the summons to her.
Dora took it and started to read, widening eyes more and more with every word. Next, she showed it to everyone, with the same result.
"He sued you to court? Only because Ingrid was sleeping and you got whole punishment?"Astrid asked with bigger disbelief"Enough! I'm going to kill this physics hag!"
"That's not it"Minna said.
Everyone looked at her.
"No?"Arian asked.
"No. It turns out, that Ingrid was drinking a wine in toilet. Everything is on recordings. He showed me. I tried to oppose, but he didn't believed me. I finally exploded and it ended like this"Witch reported to them.
"Ingrid drinking wine in toilet?"Franz asked"Unexpected".
Suddenly, Erwin realized something:
"Our headmaster knows how to use computer and watch security cameras?!"
"Why it's so strange?"Minna turned to him.
"Headmaster grew up in Leipzig, back when there was German Democratic Republic and Federal Republic of Germany. To your information, Leipzig was in GDR"Arian explained.
"And it was hard, almost impossible, to get any computer in communist countries"Franz added.
Minna nodded in understanding.
In the same time, Frauke was rubbing her shin. She often spends time with Ingrid, because she was only person that wanted to be her friend. And Ingrid never showed any signs of liking alcohol.
"It's not like her"she thought out loud.
"What do you mean by this?"Arian asked.
Frauke turned to everyone.
"I mean, that Ingrid never was person, which liked to drink alcohol. And you know that sometimes I spent a lot of time with her"Frauke explained.
Everyone nodded.
"I think we need to bring her to Minna's trial tomorrow"Franz said"Frauke"he turned to her"it's your task".
She saluted and recited:
"To your service, major Kroshause!"
"So we have a plan. But what we have to do?"Dora asked.
"I think there's nothing we can do"Arian stated.
Minna hung her head. Franz put his hand on her arm.
"Everything is gonna be okay. Trust me"he said.
"Okay, let's go then. Everything is gonna explain tomorrow"Minna said.
Other agreed. They stood up and were ready to go. However, only Franz and Astrid were still sitting.
"You're not going?"Dorothee asked.
The two looked at each other and Astrid replied:
"We're gonna catch up with you. Really".
Dorothee tilted her head.
"Okay then"she said and walked away.
When paratroopers left and the two made sure that nobody looks in their direction, they moved closer to each and…kissed.
"When are you going to tell them?"Astrid asked, after the stopped.
"I just…don't think they're ready right now"Franz answered.
Astrid only crossed hands over her chest.
"You're telling me this for tenth time. I promise. You will delay this more and then, find new girlfriend for yourself"she said.
Franz quickly shook his head.
"Wait, wait. We don't need to go so radical"he said, but Astrid's firm look was not giving away"Okay. Maybe we tell them after this whole case is over. Okay?"
Astrid nodded.
"Let it be. But don't try to fool me"she pointed out.
Boy nodded and the two followed the rest.
July 24, 2022
09:09
Bundeswehr High School court
Hall, in which the trial had to take place, was filled with people, which were or headmaster or Minna's supporters. Or just wanted to see how this will plays out.
Minna was sitting behind her bench with Erica, her defender. Blonde haired Witch was currently looking on some papers inside her suitcase. Minna noticed, that these papers were all clear.
"Remind me, why I agreed on you representing me?"Minna asked.
"Because I'm your favorite wingman"Erica replied, closing the suitcase.
Minna frowned.
"I don't have any favorites in 501st"she said.
"No. But I'm your long time friend"Erica stated.
Minna tried to oppose it, but was unable to find words for this.
Meanwhile, other Karlsland Witches and paratroopers were sitting in the first row, right behind Minna.
"Well. Never expected to take part in alternate world trial"Rall stated.
"Welcome to Bundeswehr High School"Barkhorn said.
"Easy, we have a plan to make this trial go good for Minna"Franz said, leaning to them.
Witches looked at the boy.
"What plan?"Rosman asked.
"Everything will be explained in it's time"Astrid replied.
Right then, all chat was stopped by recorder, which just entered the hall. He stood in the middle and looked at everyone.
"Please stand up, judge is coming"he announced.
At this moment, everyone stood up. Soon after, judge entered the hall, ran through it and disappeared in the door on second side.
"Please sit down, judge ran by"recorder said.
Everyone sat back down, confused by what just happened. Then, they heard judge's voice saying:
"Sis, I told you to not come here".
"I promised mom and dad, that I'll take care of you"his sister replied"By the way, I brought you your lunch".
"Thanks. But don't make me shame another time".
"I make you shame? I'm just trying to take good care about my younger brother!"
These words ended the conversation. Judge came back to the hall, carrying lunch bag in his hand. He entered his sit and sat down, placing lunch bag next to him.
"Okay, let's get this started"judge said"Leading judge, Orbert Müller. Deputy judge, Mika Ohelshaft. Recorder, Flynn Hellinger. Accused, lieutenant colonel Minna Dietlinde-Wilcke. Prosecutor, headmaster Kurt Esherting. The reason of accusation: undermining headmaster's authority and drinking wine in public place".
Witches widened their eyes, after hearing the reason of accusation.
"Easy. Let me explain"Franz said and started explaining.
"First, let the representative of colonel Wilcke"judge stated.
Erica stood up and entered the middle of room.
"Thank you"she started"What can I say? I know Minna since the start of war with Neuroi, back in our world. I'm flying with her so long, that I can say one many things about her".
Minna smiled, hearing what Erica was saying. However, next words that came from Erica's mouth made this smile disappear:
"She's the biggest and the most dangerous psychopath I've ever met! There was not single battle, during which she almost 'accidentally' shot me down! Once, she even pushed me straight into Neuroi's laser! It's a miracle that I'm even alive!"
Silence hung in the air. Nobody, even headmaster didn't knew what to say. Franz stopped telling, while Barkhorn tightened her fists, ready to go there and silence Hartmann. But Rall put hand on her shoulder.
"Is this…everything you wanted to tell us?"judge asked.
"Yes"Erica replied.
She simply turned around, simply came up to Minna and simply sat down. She again looked into her suitcase and closed it.
"Nice speech"Minna said with a sneer.
"Thanks"Erica replied, like she didn't noticed it.
"You're my defender, you know?"
Erica looked at Minna with true surprise on her face.
"Really? But you have to admin. I was pretty convincing"Erica said, with satisfaction in voice.
Minna only grabbed her head and put her elbows on the bench. She shook her head and whispered:
"Please, Frauke. Hurry up".
09:19
Deck 4
While trial was taking place, Frauke was tasked to find Ingrid and bring her there, to prove Minna's innocence. She already looked into Ingrid's room, but didn't found her there. She also checked some places on Decks 2 and 3, where she sometimes goes with Ingrid, but she wasn't been there either.
"Oh, where the fuck is she?!"frustrated Frauke finally exclaimed.
She immediately covered her mouth. She never liked to curse, because her parents always were saying her, everyone who curse have no culture at all.
"Sorry"she said, though nobody could hear her.
Right then, Frauke heard something. As she listened closer, she recognized, that this sound is…snoring? It was coming from nearby turn, so Frauke approached it. She leaned from around the corner and giant smile, barely fitting on her face, appeared.
Ingrid was laying on the bench in the corridor, sleeping, what was strange in her case. But then, Frauke noticed bottle of wine laying next to her.
Girl approached Ingrid and stood over her. She touched her few times.
"Just five more minutes…"Ingrid murmured.
Frauke thought about it. Then, idea appeared in her head. She quickly ran in the direction of nearby charwoman storeroom, from where she took a small bucket. Next, she went to the toilet, where she filled the bucket with water. She approached Ingrid and splashed the water over Ingrid. It worked.
Ingrid immediately opened her eyes and looked at Frauke standing next to her with bucket.
"I want to sleep"Ingrid stated.
"No, you can't"Frauke replied with firmly tone.
"Yeah, I can't, Frauke"Ingrid said"I want to kill myself".
This statement was surprise for Frauke.
"What? Why?"she asked.
Ingrid sat on the bench and explained:
"I wanted Herbert to finally notice me. This is why I asked Minna about her hair color. Then I changed it. And combed my hair like she did. And this wine you probably know about? I wanted to give myself more courage with that. And then, I walked to Herbert".
Frauke then noticed tears in Ingrid's eyes.
"But when I told him that I feel something for him, he said, that he would never love such wreck as me. This I why I stated to take to drink myself to death"she stopped"This is the last thing that left for me".
She then just couldn't stop it and started to cry. Frauke hugged her.
"Don't cry. Such idiots as Herbert are not worth it"she said"But there is still something we need to do. And don't be angry if I ask".
"What?"Ingrid asked, still crying.
"You see. Headmaster saw cameras on which you was drinking this wine. He thinks it was Minna and now, they're in court. So…you need to go there".
Girl expected Ingrid to reject, but mush to her surprise, something opposite happened.
"Good. I'll do it"Ingrid stated.
"Really?"Frauke asked, don't covering surprise.
"Yes. It's all my fault. I can try to fix it".
"Good. Let's go then"Frauke said, standing up.
Ingrid followed her and two girls ran on the trial.
09:34
Court
"…so I ask once again. Does lions roar, because they want to scare their victim, or because they really only want to sing?"Erica asked, after twenty minutes of talking.
Half of people in the hall was already sleeping, second half was almost asleep. Minna explained her, that they need time fro Frauke to find and get Ingrid there. So Erica came up with 'brilliant', as she said, plan.
She once again entered the middle of room and started to started from defending Minna, this time for real, and she slowly came from this, to where she was now, so the question: Does lions want be singers?
"For God's sake"Barkhorn said"I didn't knew she can make so stupid talks".
When she didn't received any response from others, she looked at paratroopers and other Witches, only to discover that they're sleeping too.
"Really?"she asked herself.
"I promise, three more minutes of her talk and I'm changing to Islam"judge said.
"Why?"recorder asked.
"Because in Islam, man can do whatever he wants with woman".
Recorder frowned.
"I…don't think it works like that".
Judge just grabbed his hammer and hit his desk several times.
"Alright, alright! Enough!"he ordered"Now, let our second defender to say what he wants!"
"But…"Erica tried to say, but was cut off.
"No! It's and absolute order of judge! Do it, or we throw you out of there!"judge shouted to her.
Erica only looked at him and returned to Minna's bench.
"Well. At least you tried"she said.
Her defender only threw her arms up.
Meanwhile, headmaster's defender entered the middle of hall and looked around at everyone. Half of people was still sleeping.
"Thank you, that I finally can say something"he said, looking at Erica"My client, as probably everyone knows, is innocent. He is the victim. He wanted to gently not something to colonel Wilcke and she"He then pointed at Minna"started to scream at him and call everything what he said, quoting, 'bullshit'".
Minna winced. Yeah, that was actually true.
"Wait, wasn't there two more witnesses of this talk?"Erica asked.
"Unfortunately, they both were injured yesterday, during the training and can't come here"headmaster's defender explained.
"Is this everything you wanted to say?"judge asked him.
"Yes".
He simply turned around, walked up to his bench and sat down.
"Well then"judge started"After listening both sides, especially one of them"He sent heavy look to Erica"I can give my precipitate".
He stood up.
"Hereby, I declare lieutenant colonel Minna Dietlinde-Wilcke guilty of everything she was accused of. From now on…"
"STOP!"Frauke shouted.
She was standing in the door and her shout woke everyone sleeping up. Others, which were not sleeping, turned their eyes in this direction, only to see Frauke in company of Ingrid, which still looked like Minna.
"Finally"Minna whispered.
Frauke led Ingrid to the middle of room, accompanied by surprised gasps of surprise of people seeing, that Ingrid looks like Minna.
When they stood in front of judge, Frauke said:
"Minna wasn't been drinking any wine in the toilet!"
"Yes. I did it"Ingrid said shyly.
Another wave of surprised gasps went through the hall.
"Wait. Really? You did it?"judge turned to Ingrid.
She nodded.
"Okay then. It means, that I can only convict colonel Wilcke for…"he tried to say, but couldn't.
"There no need for that. I want to back my accusations off"headmaster said.
Judge looked at him with questioning look.
"Now, when I know, that it wasn't been colonel, I can understand why she said this everything. I also don't like, when someone accuses me for something I didn't done"Esherting explained.
Judge looked around. He had one last chance.
"Okay. In that case, I convict Ingrid Shnellinger for…"
But this time, Frauke stopped him, as she approached him and leaned to his ear.
"Do I have to show your sister what was you doing two days ago, at our class party?"she asked.
He looked at her with fear in the eyes.
"But…But I thought, that there are no photos…"he whispered.
"What photos? Helga was drawing everything from memory!"Frauke explained with sinister smile on her face.
His face then darkened. Gerda can't learn about that party. On which he was drinking too much, although it was forbidden, that he was dancing naked and that he finally puked on her dress, he brought from her room, when she was with her boyfriend on date.
Judge just gave up.
"Okay, everyone are acquitted"he said.
Smiles appeared on Frauke's, Minna's and Ingrid's faces. Judge simply opened his lunch bag and started to eat the sandwich. Then, he turned to recorder.
"Fynn, take care of this what you written there"he ordered.
"But what do I have to do?"recorder asked.
"I don't know. Do, what you want".
Recorder only threw his arms up.
Meanwhile, everyone started to leave the hall. Witches and paratroopers surrounded Minna.
"And we did it!"Frauke exclaimed.
"Yes. Mainly thanks to you"Minna said.
Frauke only threw up her arms, but Minna saw her cheeks changing into red.
"Colonel"headmaster said, stopping next to them.
"Thank you for backing off from accusations"Minna said.
"Everyone needs to know, when to admin error"he said and simply walked away.
"So, what are we going to do now?"Rall asked.
"I don't know. Maybe let's go drink something"Franz proposed.
In that moment, Astrid prodded him with her elbow.
"Something happened?"Erwin asked, seeing this.
"Actually, yes"Franz replied.
He then grabbed Astrid's hand.
"We're couple"he explained.
After hearing this, not only paratroopers, but also Witches, widened their eyes.
"Um, if I can ask"Dorothee started"How long?"
"Three months"Astrid replied.
Meanwhile, Erwin tightened his fists and started to breath heavily.
"How long did you wanted to hide it from us?"he asked.
Astrid scratched back of her head.
"We wanted to tell you but…we didn't knew how you react"She looked at Erwin"And you probably won't believe that I could find someone for myself".
Erwin started to breath more and more calmly, then counted to ten in his mind and looked at them.
"Nah, I would believe you. There will always someone as crazy as you"he stated.
Girl hit his arm. Then, they both laughed.
"Okay then. We're going to bar? We have double occasion to celebrate!"Dora exclaimed"Minna's innocence, Franz and Astrid third anniversary!"
"Actually, we have anniversary tomorrow"Franz said"but it's okay".
And with these words, they went to celebrate this to Bar&Grill.
