It was late that night when the students were all safely back aboard Terminus, and the enraged messages from the parents demanding an audience with the Headmistress had all been declined. The staff had sent out various explanations about how despite the appearances, the trip was completely safe and not a single injury had been noted. It wasn't completely successful, but as per the contract, the field trip was deemed to be a totally safe activity and not grounds for the more overprotective parents to withdraw their children.
None of the students asked to go home after the trip, and those who weren't in the classes that got to go were incredibly envious of their trip, so the Academy viewed it as a win on their part.
