"Well, now I feel a little guilty that I didn't vote for Ellie. Although, I doubt she even wanted to be the class representative..."
Preliminary, I'm going with the rifle.

Also for the rifle.
Heroist, are you going to focus on magic this time?

I would join if there's still a chance to test it out.
Anyway, I don't have much to do this month.

May, Week 1.
- Class representative selection (Yuki Kamiya) ✔
- Art of rifle handling 2 — knowledge of weak points (Realgar Muscari)
- Magic — choosing a direction (Astilbe)
- Backyard (?)
- Park (?)
- Central gate (?)

Sure, I might join too, although it will result in a loss of experience.

The voting results greatly amused Linnea, although she didn't show it. Not only were Parfinora and Romeo side by side, but their new classmate also joined them, somehow managing to get as many as three votes. This week is definitely going to be interesting!

The lectures that had been held so far either didn't interest Linnea, or she didn't meet the requirements, so the girl decided to spend her free time training in the park. After all, at the end of the month, they were expecting as many as two new combat training tests, and the reimi didn't want to make a fool of herself.
Park.

Moriner wasn't particularly surprised by the first two finalists in the voting. As for the newcomer, he assumed it was some well-known personality or perhaps just an attractive type. However, these questions didn't occupy his thoughts for too long, as he needed to find something to do this week. Therefore, he planned to ask to take a test for magical aptitude. Magic had never particularly interested him, but learning to cast spells would be a "cool" life bonus. Who knows, maybe it would come in handy?

Just like the day before, Linnea spots her training partner from yesterday in the park, but before she can greet him, she notices that he's not alone and is hastily trying to hide. Who knows, maybe it's the park that's having this effect on him, or maybe it's just becoming a habit? Ipheon was one of the tallest members of Class III, and being well-built, he created a noticeable contrast with the Nihonian woman he was talking to. It was clear that they knew each other well, but there was a sense of awkwardness and some tension in their conversation. "Iffi, have you found anyone among your classmates who interests you? I've noticed some very pretty and well-mannered girls." "No. You know very well that I didn't come to the academy for that." "I-I see..." The woman's voice betrayed a noticeable anxiety, as if she knew what her companion was going to say next. "There is only room for you in my heart." Ipheon said this without hesitation and as seriously as possible. Linnea had never seen her classmate so determined. "Iffi... I'm flattered, of course, but we've talked about this many times... We're mother and son, it can't be done..." "It can't be done only because of the despotic culture of our puritanical country. I don't care if it's 'right' or not, and I don't want either of us to be chained by society, like livestock. We can leave for a place where it won't be condemned... I'll work like hell, I'll work on myself, I... I'll do anything to make you happy." "P-please, finally understand, I'll be happy if you find your place in life and someone who loves you!" "My place in life is next to you!" The woman wanted to slap the guy, but at the last moment she stopped and instead ran away, tears in her eyes. Ipheon reached out to her, but only caught air. When she disappeared over the horizon, he slumped heavily onto a bench and grabbed his head with one hand, deep in thought.

Linnea watched the scene unfolding before her with her jaw hanging open. This was definitely not something she expected from Ifeon. To say the least, it had been a rather eventful week. Nevertheless, despite all his newfound quirks, Ifeon clearly needed some support right now. After waiting a couple of minutes and pretending that she hadn't been hiding anywhere and observing anything, but rather just taking a stroll through the park and admiring the scenery, the Reimi cautiously approached the young man.
— Are you okay?

Parfinora's heart beat like a canary in a cage. She almost managed to do it! She is walking side by side with Romeo! All that remains is to make the final push. Deciding that searching for allies is now more important than lectures, she decides to take a walk and finds herself at the **central gate**.

Marey didn't have to think long about what to focus on this week. The purpose of his stay here was already waiting for the student. As he headed to the location of the magic lesson, Marey repeatedly replayed the agonizing thought of choosing a specialization in his mind: despite his considerable knowledge of magic, he still hadn't come any closer to making a decision. The greedy young man wanted everything, and he wanted it as quickly as possible. He understood perfectly well that such unrestrained desires would only push him further away from his goal, and this, combined with the nervous anticipation of the first lesson, was driving him crazy. Again and again, he reminded himself that such anxieties were harmful, even inappropriate for him, and he repeatedly told himself about the importance of a cool head, and finally, having exhausted the capabilities of his nervous system, he still brought himself back to equilibrium with a conscious effort. He had already opened the door to the classroom, albeit with trepidation in his soul, but with a clear mind and a steady hand.

Revan, you wrote about the possibility of catching up on missed lectures through classmates. Can this be done in one week along with a regular event, and will it only cost general points?

/rifle, then magic. I want to test it too.

- Backyard (?)

Go here if no one else has been there yet.
