The college has a duty to punish undisciplined students. But there are days when there is no punishment to be done. But in spite of this, the Master wants to punish someone, and the first student he meets, he takes him to the room and starts a severe punishment for no reason, and the boy chosen, he knows he cannot escape. Tomas is flogged with 200 lashes with a leather belt. All the boys in this school know that if they are chosen they must obey, it is in their discipline.
