—Ah, yes, exactly. Well, I wouldn't want someone like that to study with us either, but it's clear that admitting him was a well-considered decision by the administration, so signing such petitions is just attracting unnecessary attention to ourselves.

—Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. I just hope they don't cause some major scandal, because we really don't need that right now... 🤐

"Now they want to split pennies, what a disgrace," thought Nira indifferently, watching the money debates after yet another time teleportation this week.
However, sooner or later, she had to express her opinion:

—If this is a vote, then I agree with Futushka. Thirty people can't live together as one family with shared rewards, experience, and scholarships, no matter how hard you try. Especially when we're forced to fight each other, risking being kicked out of the academy for a bad grade. 👎 If everyone has a little, no one will have enough for anything worthwhile. Dividing by contribution means making everyone enemies, and those who are behind won't have a chance to catch up with the leaders. Dividing by those who are behind means killing the motivation of the rest. And a class is almost like a mini-family in the academy. And if everyone takes care of their class's success, we will all benefit from this healthy competition. 😎
