—Tell me, Nirianna, if you would: what do you think about the safety at NAILS?
One should prepare for such a conversation in advance and carefully compose a speech, but in this situation, there was no choice, which was simply a terrible turn of events. Exchanging glances with her friend, Nira thoughtfully crossed her arms in front of her, gathering her thoughts.
—Well, I think I understand why you might have such a question... My parents asked me the same thing just a couple of weeks ago. In fact, I think that at its initial design stage, the safety of our academy was planned adequately. And all the problems arose not because of poor training of personnel; rather, the opposite was true: the problem was in the insufficiently strict selection of candidates for teachers. But this, fortunately, is much easier to solve, and as far as I understand, after the recent incident, the appropriate work has been done. As for safety in general, well... 🤔
For a moment, losing the thread of her thoughts, Nira sighed heavily:
—...compared to some military school or prison where everyone exists according to a strict, mandatory schedule, our academy clearly does not win. But can you develop your talents or achieve independence there? And as for the students, there are, of course, strange personalities, but there are many more students from respectable and educated families. For example, you may have heard of the Bless family. And today we met Princess Emeraldia. They are all from Cass's class... So, I will answer you as I answered my parents: taking into account all the potential opportunities for self-development, the selection of students and teachers, there is no better place than NAILS in Sakuramoria right now.
Having finished with the formal part of her speech, Nira looked at Cass's father:
—And in general... if you are thinking about this, please don't take Cass away from us. I can't add any more clever reasons that you adults always use in your actions, but... I just really, really don't want to lose my close friend. 😭
