If Joelson really agreed to let Wilfrid go then, after the trial ended, one of them would definitely suffer from Wilfrid's revenge.

"Lord Joelson wouldn't agree, right?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? If it were you, would you disagree?"
"Of course I would agree. Who doesn't want to enter Supreme Academy?"
"I hope Lord Joelson wouldn't agree. Otherwise, we would be in big trouble!"
"But if Lord Joelson agrees, we can't blame him. After all, this is the Supreme Academy. No one doesn't want to become a student of Supreme Academy!"
