While at home, Veilis managed to make several entries in his diary, reflecting on what had happened.
Karvia Imas was beautiful on the outside, but turned out to be dark on the inside. It's not for nothing that they say appearances can be deceiving. From now on, it's worth remembering this, and also being wary of magic, which has never inspired confidence anyway (except for those cases). What motivated her? How did the guys bother her, and how is Lorance involved? There are so many questions, but no answers yet.
-----------------
Ignatius Warlong seemed like a slightly eccentric guy, and probably was, but he still gave the impression of a good person, despite his quirks. Over time, there is a feeling that he was lonely (perhaps this explains his behavior) and needed friends, which we could have become. It's sad to realize that your decisions could have made someone's life better, or even saved it, but you did nothing.
-----------------
Dion Villa showed himself as an arrogant upstart on the first day, radiating arrogance and at the same time, a sense of conscience that he would like to see in others. He clearly wanted and tried to be better, and maybe even the best. And in principle, this is a normal desire, and his intentions seem quite pure, albeit a little naive. But in the end, everything led to such a finale. If he is guilty of Ignatius's death, then how and where did Karvia cast a spell on him? He is from a different class. Did she choose him herself and lure him to her with lies? Why? Very strange.
Deaths are upsetting, especially the deaths of good people and those you know, but the world and life are structured in such a way that someone somewhere is constantly dying, people are attacked by monsters, bandits, crazy witches, and this is not to mention diseases, wars, and other misfortunes. Some even die in a stupid way, accidentally falling off a cliff, eating suspicious food, or trusting bandits. In the training academy, you certainly don't expect to see something like this, but no one is immune to anything, so all that remains is to always be on the alert, in case danger creeps up on you. After resting for a month, Veilis decided that he was ready to return.
- I'm going back to the academy, see you later! - After saying goodbye to his loved ones, Veil returned to NAILS to continue his studies.
Upon arrival, the first thing he wanted to do was help Toad, who had become as gloomy as a storm cloud.
- You shouldn't blame yourself for Ignatius's death, because it turns out that someone else could have been in his place, even us. If we had invited him with us, someone else would have died, and in this case, it turns out that we could have invited this other person too, but we didn't, and again the blame is on us? But we couldn't invite all the students, besides, we could have stayed in the dormitory. This is impossible to predict. The main thing is that we seem to have figured everything out, and everyone will be able to find peace. As for Karvia, she was liked by many, you know, but maybe this is also part of her magic? If feelings are illusory, then you should turn to the power of your mind and try to get rid of them. Surely your girls-mages have encountered something similar, be it a curse, hypnosis, or other dark spells, after which they overcame them precisely with the help of their inner strength. I think our comrades wouldn't want you to blame yourself for something you're not guilty of and leave all regrets in the past. Think about it, Toad.
