Seven candidates for the disciplinary committee, including herself. Seven candidates, two of whom raised certain questions. Barbarian, perhaps, looked intimidating, but she was frankly a terrible negotiator – not someone who could mediate between warring parties. The refit also lacked wisdom. In the situation with the petition, she did not restrain Michael's bad initiative, but joined it. In the situation with the ceremony, she was not only ready to join the other hotheads in their dubious plan, but also encouraged others to do so. Not the most suitable material for such a position, the presence of which in the potential composition made one doubt Futaba's competence. Another candidate, no better than Barbarian, also caused doubts. There is no denying that Elliot was a skilled and talented archer, and for a while he would have been excellent in the role of a silent scarecrow, but not now. Now it was difficult to see him as anything other than a young man unable to cope with his raging hormones. His presence could hardly be justified by anything other than his personal relationship with Futaba. But was this a wise decision on her part? Wouldn't Elliot abuse his new powers? Wouldn't this arouse suspicion from the king? Wouldn't it cause envy? Wouldn't he, in a fit of jealousy, want to get rid of a competitor? After all, the situation with Futaba has gone a little further than the usual cases with His Majesty's favorites – even the girl's surname has been changed from "Sekuhara" to "Starlight" everywhere. And such an appointment of Elliot puts the young man in a very vulnerable position. Unless the king, in another fit of senile dementia, interprets the archer's enthusiasm differently.
Leila had no particular complaints about the other candidates, but she was still tormented by doubts. Futaba was certainly right about the useful experience, at least in her specific case. She herself, not least of all, thought about the disciplinary committee in a similar way. The case with Carvia made the Taimanian think carefully about whether Sakuramor would benefit from an organization whose duties would include investigating crimes and detaining dangerous mages. An organization that would bring together, in addition to orthodox magic, and forbidden magical knowledge under other circumstances, in order to develop methods of counteraction and better understand what spellcasters unburdened by morality are capable of. Working on the committee could be the first step in realizing such ambitions. But after the recent revelations, after the king showed his true colors, Leila was not entirely sure that even if her idea came to fruition, the stated goals of such an organization would not simply become a cover. That in reality, this organization itself would not become an Asylum for dangerous mages, only this time subordinate to His Majesty and conducting their research with his permission. And that her personal curiosity and inquisitiveness, the desire to get to the bottom of things, would not outweigh her own principles. Of course, one could hope that the king would not have much time left, but something told Leila that in such a scenario, the problem in the person of the king would be replaced by a civil war. And Futaba, of all people, would not be able to emerge victorious from this war. All her "power" rests solely on the patronage of the elderly monarch of Sakuramor.
Setting aside plans for the distant future, in the near future, proximity to the "crown" and an increased scholarship were attractive enough advantages. And maintaining order, no matter what anyone says, was necessary. To keep peers from unnecessary foolishness, if not with a well-chosen word, then with fear. And the idea of a "bulletin board" also had merit, even if it did go beyond the stated competence of the committee. Perhaps the main disadvantage here was the association with a cruel and incompetent administration, as rightly pointed out by Dinorsis, whose past and future mistakes will be associated with you as well. One could hope that Futaba would be able to change the attitude of her peers towards herself, but this was a very optimistic view of things.
