Actually, I think that is a good idea, because it makes sense if you think about this sentence :
When the exile enters the Trayus Academy, she will be faced with a choice.
One path, assuming she survives, will allow her to save her friends, but she shall be the weaker for it.
The other route will lead her directly to this place, through the ones that have hounded her steps through the beginning... and she shall have her vengeance.

So, in my opinion, there really should be a consequence if you decide to save your party.
Btw, I'm a long-time lurker who's finally decided to show up and post. I admire the amount of work that was put is TSLRCM. Thanks a lot !
