—................... haaa... it happens... —Nira frowned involuntarily. —I remember during the medical examination before entering the Academy, I got so distracted looking at the stars while giving a blood sample that I bumped into a table and didn't leave the house for two weeks, haha...
Trying to gently hug her friend, Nira continued: —...You scared me so much, Cass... I don't understand anything myself, but then Thyme ran up, Levizia was saying something, the city... What's going on... Are you leaving us?... 😢

— No! I'm not leaving, of course... That is... — The girl's voice changes to a whisper. — To be honest, after the recent events, I really wanted to go home, but... Do you think "they" will just let us leave?!! I don't want to be killed on the way home... I... I'm not ready for that... So when my father brought up the topic of leaving again, I got a little upset, not knowing what to say so that he wouldn't suspect anything, and what if something happens to him too. Well, and... — She says even quieter, lowering her head again. — On the way here, he also got upset and said a lot of hurtful things to me.

“You’re right, my friend,” Nira nodded. “The first and last thing I would want is to be near my family and involve them in all this. It’s better to do it alone… No matter how painful and upsetting it may be, it’s our duty.” She sighed, patting her friend on the shoulder. “To be honest, I think ‘they’ are also experiencing some kind of discord, which is why this situation has arisen. Therefore, I think your words will carry a lot of weight, and we will be able to resolve everything successfully… I hope.”

During a conversation between two friends, Cassius Pale bursts into the room and, after tumbling across the floor, ends up next to Nira and tries to take her hostage, pointing a gun at her head, but since she has high evasion, she manages to gracefully dodge his attack, and the man's plan fails. — Dad, what are you doing?! Stop it! — You little wretch! — he shouts at Nirianna. — Why did you dodge!? Following the commotion, the teachers rush into the room, and Thyme's spear, which appeared as if from nowhere, knocks the gun out of Cassius's hand.

— You vile creature! — he shouts at Niriianna. — Why did you dodge!?

Players, when the dice rolls aren't in their favor.

/Yumiko didn't record her own, and Varya was again in the first position.../

Let's hope Oleg doesn't find out that she's the first among the girls to be so willing to share such personal details.

Perhaps watching a grown, respectable man trying to awkwardly tumble with a loaded gun in his hand looked more comical than pitiful, although it was a little scary: he might accidentally blow his brains out on a beautiful rug.
—Well, that's settled, I guess... —kicking the pistol away from the teachers with his foot and briskly dusting off his uniform, Nira thoughtfully rubbed her forehead: —Mr. Cassius, don't you think that my insignificant presence would have influenced the situation with such high-level individuals? 😞 Let's try to maintain some composure and resolve this without conflict... For example, like this: I will forget about this "minor" incident, and my friend and I will peacefully and nobly return to the academy as if nothing had happened, and you will somehow resolve all the minor business matters with the crown at a state level? 😇

— I surrender! — Cassius raises his hands and, after listening with hatred to Nirianna’s speech, now turns to Levizia. — Do whatever you want, I’m going back to Utah! — Levizia was about to object, saying that after the attack on her student, he now had other problems, but looking at Cassia’s pleading eyes, she refrained from doing so and decided not to escalate the situation. — Cassia, you know I’m doing all this for you, right?? Cassia!! — Thyme leads the man away. — Don’t forget about Zlodrev’s curse!!
When there were two fewer people in the room, Cassia sank to the floor and burst into tears. Levizia was about to comfort the student, but decided that it would be better if her friend did it; she probably didn’t want her teachers to see her in such a state.
— Nirianna, please... — “Stay with her.”

and that will happen to everyone who doesn't return the money from the gifts.

Nira silently nodded to the director, watching the screaming man walk away. Only after a minute did she feel a cold shiver run through her own body: today's little "performance" almost cost her own life. She would have been a truly foolish victim. Noticeably swaying, the girl let out a heavy sigh and sat down on the floor next to her friend. And who needs to have a hysterical fit right now?...
—Cass... It's okay, Cass... —Nira murmured, but unable to find anything else to say, she simply hugged her friend tightly, gently stroking her head.

Having made sure that her students were safe, Levisia returned to the student council building, where she reported to Futabe on how everything had gone. "You know, it's still very strange, unusual, and wonderful to me that our roles have changed so much, especially in such a short time. It seems like just recently, I was the principal, and you were one of the students, and not exactly the most successful one," Levisia suppresses a nervous laugh, "and now I'm something like your secretary, haa... But that's all nonsense, I wanted to talk about something else. I..." For a moment, the principal wanted to hug Futabe tightly, but deciding that her kinship with the king might be unpleasant for her, she refrained from doing so, but the moisture that appeared in her eyes betrayed her intentions. "Oh, what was that... Something got in my eye, sorry." She wipes her eyes with a handkerchief, but the tears do not stop. "Futabe, I... I know that words will never bring you peace, and no apologies can justify the fate that was in store for you, and yet... Please forgive my family for what you had to go through. Forgive me for not being able to protect you when I was your teacher, for being powerless now and will be powerless in the future... Honestly, I want to be your ally and help you in everything, but I just don't know how."

It feels like just yesterday I was the director, and you were one of the students, and not exactly the most successful one at that,” Levizia suppresses a nervous chuckle.

“Don’t worry, you weren’t exactly the most successful director either,” Futaba replied with a nervous chuckle.

- Well... All you need to do is be the only sane person in this whole situation. It's quite... strange, - the president gestured with her hands, and an unusual emotion, a subtle smile that hinted at underlying pain, appeared on her face. - I am nobody. I have never had any grand plans. I expect things to get worse at any moment, and so far, life hasn't disappointed me in that regard. So... right now, while I still have this opportunity, by some fantastic coincidence, I'm trying to do my best to make things a little better for the overall situation. I don't know why - society has never done anything good for me, and I despise it. But perhaps, so that no one else ends up in the same, maximum number of unfair situations. To distract myself and find some peace of mind. So that I can later go to hell without regrets. Ha-ha...
Futaba awkwardly scratched the back of her head and swallowed the bitter lump in her throat, preventing it from growing.
- B-but just one day has already messed with my head. There is a limit to how much common sense can handle, beyond which one cannot act without the knowledge and experience that I lack. In short... all these new tasks are very difficult. If you can help me with them, give me some advice, that would be good...
The president stared at the tabletop, poked at a stain on it, and lowered her head.
- To be honest, I've always disliked you. Not for any objective reasons, but perhaps just as a symbolic representation of the ruling class of our entire rotten, universal system. It was probably unfair, but a person is entitled to their opinion, - Futaba decided to lay all her cards on the table. - But when I started to slowly go crazy, and then the culmination of that insane situation arrived, and I saw you, and these mechanisms, the coffin, well... it seemed to me that we have something in common. And that seemed even more unfair than what happened to me. I can no longer emotionally return to the state I was in before. So, I'm sorry, perhaps, for my past prejudice. If that's possible after such a brazen confession from someone who isn't even worth your little toe.
