Varya was angry. It wasn't a military school, but a gathering of some kind of hooligans... Based on how the story ended, it was clear that only Vale and Futaba reacted normally; they both managed to assess the situation and do something (although what happened to Futaba and Laurence still needed to be sorted out, and it wasn't clear if their classmate could have resolved the situation peacefully; the decision to help their teacher was also not unreasonable). For the most part, during any crisis, all the students simply huddled near the source of the problem, like lost puppies, and most didn't even poke their heads out, as if hoping to wait it out until the unknown enemy did its dirty work and quietly left for the forest. And never mind the students; they really hadn't been taught yet how to react calmly to dangerous situations (they should have started with that, instead of giving them a bunch of deadly weapons and telling them to take what they want). Varya realized that, due to her upbringing, she had a certain advantage here, so it wasn't entirely fair to scold everyone.
But what about the teachers, of whom only Laurence and Duncan bothered to show up at all? And even then, their actions were far from what one would expect, especially from the latter, with his slow pace... What were they even going to teach the students if they couldn't do anything themselves?
When Yukka came down from her stimulants, it became clear that the girl couldn't handle either the situation with Ignatiy or what followed. Varya felt sorry to say goodbye to her friend, clearly forever, as the refitter understood, but she couldn't do anything about it, and she didn't try to persuade her neighbor to stay either.
The refitter herself also went home to Akki, and she faced a dilemma there. On the one hand, her father urged her to leave the academy, quite persistently and using all sorts of swear words against the school administration. Her mother, on the other hand... At first, she seemed to have been frightened too, but then, while sitting with a reference book and a telescope, she seemed to have predicted something during the races, and when she returned, she stated that if Varya wanted to stay, the stars were in favor of it, and nothing bad should happen.
-- Of course, if you don't feel like going back, -- the woman said worriedly. -- Then you definitely shouldn't. But if you were hesitating, then the constellation Centaurus at its zenith clearly indicates that...
Varya was hesitating. Not so much because of the shock from the deaths that had occurred, which, to be fair, had already subsided. More than that, it was the fact that for the first time in her life, the girl encountered the fact that the authority of her elders had been undermined for her. She couldn't imagine her father Vasily, or anyone in her past life, in such a humiliating position as the local teachers.
And yet, after spending only a week with her parents, the girl left for NAILS again. The reason was mainly unusual for Varya -- she realized that she wanted to see at least some of the friends she had made again. In Akki, the girl first encountered loneliness, as no one there particularly wanted to be friends with an outsider; the local teenagers had their own established groups, and a bunch of younger siblings at home were not the kind of people she could have interesting conversations with. At NAILS, however, the refitter had like-minded people, and that was good.
Upon her arrival, Varya spent the rest of April training, and at the beginning of May, when life at the academy began to slowly return to normal, she went to the library first.
