This is just terrible writing if she becomes a love interest...
They were scared he would survive and report them to the academy...
If they only intended to beat him up, he would still be alive to report them to the academy and expel them. So the only logical conclusion is that they intended to kill him so he would not be able to report what they just did.
It will be very frustrating if they escape this attempted murder without punishment. The MC is a beta cuck so I expect he will forgive their attempted murder like an idiot.
