In the first week of October, Gideon, in addition to his studies, was mainly working on creating copies of photographs for the magazine, and fortunately, Clivia had the necessary equipment for this. While printing another batch of photographs, he pondered. How popular will the magazine be? Based on the number of visitors to the competition, one could assume a high level of public interest. And then, perhaps, sponsor advertising will catch the eye. In theory, the idea of cooperation between local entrepreneurs and NAILS sounded very promising. However, according to the latest news, business people from a well-known foreign company have appeared in the city – a new major player in the quiet pond of the Almy market, taking over the place of the dusty arms shop and acquiring the offerings of its competitors. Well, one can hope that magazine advertising will help sponsors attract customers... But what's the point if they run out of stock? On the other hand, the journalists will still fulfill their obligations, but it would be a pity if the advertising campaign does not yield results. And also, his recent decision to join the disciplinary committee... The presence of a dueling photographer in it nicely complemented the structure, which consisted of people with both combat and peaceful skills, whether it be drawing, healing, or even seduction. In any case, after the magazine is released, it would be worth looking for more opportunities to use his abilities, and if this contributes to order in the academy, then all the better. Integrating various methods and uniting students in this way into a diverse alliance was far more meaningful than a spontaneous, rebellious petition with insufficient grounds. And yet, it's a little strange that he volunteered. It's one thing to support his class and so on, but at the academy level... It seems, is he really that concerned about the general safety, especially since such issues are now under the supervision of more discerning people, instead of Duncan, who, with his antics, was rightfully kicked out. Although, during his time at NAILS, Gideon had already made decisions that were not always typical for him, so why be surprised. Perhaps certain acquaintances served as a catalyst for this, without which he might still be sitting in room 404, passively observing everything from his vantage point – the demon, the elections, the competition – it would have been easy to simply ignore all of this. Preparing the photographs for the magazine gradually turned into a routine, except that looking at a photograph of Nira was always a pleasure. At first, he constantly checked the manual to make sure he didn't do anything wrong, but later, he did it automatically, without looking. The manual was not particularly bulky, so since the beginning of September, the student had managed to read it several times. If he wanted to, he could easily recall the necessary passage, and there was no longer any need to carry it around with him. So he returned it to the library – since they teach photography here, there should also be an opportunity to develop interest, one can consider this an additional investment in education. He wanted to take a break from the monotonous activity that required less and less mental effort. Sitting peacefully in the evening for a tea ceremony was just the thing to sort out the thoughts that had accumulated during the day. And in his other free time, Gideon sometimes visited the Tower of Trials, where he intensively practiced using a pistol, reading a volume of Dante's teachings in between – to continue performing well in combat tournaments, he needed to stay in shape. drinking tea + returning the photography book to the library, training with a pistol 10 (5200), resistance 3 (5100), initiative 5 (1700). it should be just enough.
