Sakuramoria

one of the reasons not to take Sakuran

Maybe that's the whole point of Sakuran: so that when you eat fish, you don't have parasites.

Vari's answers to the written exam

How will you act and why?

a)
It's hard for me to imagine being well-received in a demon village. A warm welcome is likely nothing more than a trick, or even evil spells, and my head is already in the power of one of the demons. So, I will follow the instructions of the hunters' leader.
"It's surprising that I got such a question first."

Will you be able to determine the sequence of events and name those responsible?

"Of course."
Nicholas — some kind of thief or robber, broke into the house but was caught. Panicked, he shot someone hoping to escape, but underestimated the owners.
Naoel Kori — got into bad company by mistake. Apparently used magic against the guards, but is inexperienced and didn't achieve much, then repented.
Vaifova Voynolyuba — her situation is similar. Maybe she shot Nicholas.
Ilkel Kori — did nothing. I think he's just a pushover.
Aylis Air — killed two guards.
Guk — probably tried to dissuade his friends from attacking the guards and couldn't bear the shame.
Rusha Riabso — victim.
Rulka — participated in the beating of the guards.
Panz Lerigor — clear instigator; if a person's tongue is that foul, their mind is likely worse. Probably urged them to kill the guards, or perhaps attacked first. If he is the one who killed Tavel Kori in the forest and feared the guards would find out, then he is definitely the most guilty.
Themis — might have participated in the beating of the guards, might not have.
Tifa Lit — also could have participated in the fight, then escaped through some secret passage before being caught.

The violators offer to part in peace, your actions?

There is much I dislike about this story, although the presence of the mayor's son among the violators gives me pause.
I will part in peace.

How will you act?

If allowed, I will be among the first to approach, as it is a great honor.
"And also, perhaps I'll be praised one more time, it's not bad."

The fate of this man and his companions is in your (or rather, the group of riders accompanying you) hands; how will you act and why?

So someone from the group insults me, and the others just stand and watch? Of course, I'll arrest everyone. From the foreigners — a written apology, but as for the insolent one himself, he belongs in the Dungeon; if not for a year, then for several months, otherwise he's unlikely to learn his lesson.

Which faction's goals are closest to you (you may determine your own social status in this society)?

a) The Empress's faction.
In any case, it's dangerous to join anyone other than the legitimate Empress. But if the Empress also cares for her subjects in the way described in the question, then my zeal will be twice as strong.
The other factions look like some kind of troublemakers... except for the traditionalists and the wizards.
It is unclear to me why the minority faction did not join the Empress's faction.

Will you taste them?

I will trust my friends, if among them are those who can detect poison or evil spells. Otherwise, I will not taste.

What, in your opinion, are the pros and cons of being tall or short and having a large or small chest? What role do these physical characteristics play in our society and on the battlefield?

I don't know what the pros of being short could be. Of course, short people are more nimble, but I'm always afraid of tripping over them. The only downside to being tall is that some houses have low doors.
Regarding the chest, small is slightly more convenient in life, but large is more beautiful.
"Wait, a man will be checking the answers? That's strange then."
I haven't lived in society long enough to answer the question about it, but on the battlefield, tall and sturdy girls are, frankly, stronger. Small and thin ones are good at dodging.

State your thoughts on Sakuramoria.

I haven't lived in this country long, but I like it. People here are smiling and happy, and are not constrained by too many prohibitions.

What are your expectations for the time spent at NAILS?

I would like to receive a good education in the martial path and succeed so that my talents are appreciated.
"And so that I don't have to work a regular job; that's boring."
