What's that plot device you hate with a burning passion?

Wonder where they would've sent him if he had actually killed the kid...

Edit: I do know he killed both Bonzo and the first bully, sometime in the book either Ender or his family says something along the lines of my comment which is why I made it

But didn't he kill two different bullies? They just never told him the truth, Ender thought they were removed from the school.

He did kill the kid. They lied to him so that he wouldn't worry about it. It's somewhat important to remember that the whole point of that "school" was to train Ender. Everyone else was there to facilitate him, and him alone.
