☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Miss, back then.

- So, we have a chance? - Jilo smirked. - That's good news, guys.
"Ha-ha-ha!" came from the other students.

- I've had enough time to think about this, An-chan, and I will be no less upset if something bad happens to your mentor or her students, in whom so much effort and bright hopes have been invested. And as I already said, it is not worth measuring people by numbers, whether it be loved ones, characteristics, the amount of gold in your wallet, or anything else - this approach can eventually lead to a gradual hardening of the soul. Even if you don't have loved ones today, it doesn't mean they won't appear tomorrow, and vice versa. However, some of my loved ones are going with us, so by working together, we will all be able to achieve the best result and avoid the worst.

- Anpan, - the young man corrected the priestess, - there are only five letters in this name, it shouldn't be difficult to remember. But okay, I understand... I will do my best to ensure that you do not become a victim of grotesque insects, charred monsters, and other inhabitants of this inhumane coven.

- ...perhaps that's all for now, - Sonata nods, so that she can say her part.

- We've been through this before, but I'll remind you again - we will adapt the plan of action depending on the circumstances, but in general, actions that contradict it are not allowed. For example, there is no need to heroically rush into battle alone against a golem. By doing so, you not only risk your lives, but also endanger everyone else. And we remember the priorities - the primary goal is to complete the task assigned to us, then to preserve our lives, and only then the fate of potential captives; we show no mercy to the enemy and strike to kill. However, we work with the aim of achieving the maximum plan - to complete the mission, save lives and health, and rescue the captives, but for this it is necessary that each of you gives it your all: such a favorable outcome is possible only with the help of coordinated teamwork and faith in each other and in yourself. Well, if everyone understands, then step forward to the station!
