When one thought about the fact that the fine the Interrogator gave him at the end of the day was a 1900% increase of what his fine was actually meant to be, one would realize that Simon would be justified if he had raged and gotten angry.
A fine that was just meant to be fifty merits became a thousand merits, if that was not robbery, then what was?
Simon knew what the end goal of Radan was.
By calling such an outrageous fine, the true end goal of Radan was to ensure that he remained in debt throughout his three years in the academy and even after the academy.
If he was an average slave who did not know the academy rules, he would be angry, terrified, and at the end of the day, he would beg without knowing that he was being exploited by a heartless demon.
'If I was an average slave, there's no way I'd be able to repay all the three thousand merits with my pitiful weekly stipend of fifteen merits... unless I'm extremely lucky.'
