— Are you being silly, Mia? — Eli asked innocently. — That’s the whole point of unarmed combat, because you have a weapon, but no one can take it away from you, and you can carry it with you everywhere! But people don’t interest me, and I don’t want to watch them. But a weapon shop sounds interesting, but if it’s M&O, I’ve already seen everything there, and Anelotta still refuses to tell me about the new items...
Bertrand decided to spend his free time practicing weapon skills, as he was a little behind in that area. After that, he planned to relax and unwind a bit, but he didn't want to go anywhere alone, so the elf decided to invite someone to join him. He didn't have many acquaintances at the academy, so he chose a good guy from the province.
- Hey, Berwang, - De'Lart greeted his classmate. - How are you doing? Want to go for a walk and go to the circus with me, since it's a free week? Afterwards, we could eat something of your choice, huh? Or would you like to go somewhere else?
-Thank you so much.
For a while, Parfinora walked silently through the park next to Imir, with a dejected expression on her face. After a while, she began to speak:
-You have no idea how terrible I feel. Everyone avoids me, they give me sidelong glances. They blame me for Romeo and Yaspis being expelled from the academy. But what could I do? I was chosen as class president. I am obliged to ensure that the rules of the academy are followed. It is my duty. Could I have done otherwise? So why all this hatred towards me? - Parfinora's voice was relatively firm, but it was clear from her face that she was having a hard time.
- I have to confess to you, P-Parfinora. After all this happened, I was one of those who discussed you behind your back, because, although I consider you a worthy p-person, this e-event upset and surprised me very much, and I couldn't restrain myself and wanted answers. You know, L-Light said that it was all because you were jealous of Yaspis... Of course, I didn't believe him, especially after that conversation in which he showed himself in a bad light, but... You should have known what this would e-end with when you went to Yuki.
-I can understand you, actually, - the girl nodded understandingly. At first, she thought about elaborating on her thought and adding examples from her personal experience, but then she thought that there was no point in burdening Ifeon with this extra information. Sometimes, a few words are enough.
— A circus? A circus! Yes, yes! — Berwang rejoiced. — Well, what are you waiting for, let’s go!
-- I'll write that down, -- Xenomia takes out a notebook and writes down the phrase about the weapon that cannot be taken away. -- Yes, I meant exactly that shop... So, shall we just shoot?
What weapons will you use?
Let's go to the circus.
There were no clowns in this circus. There was nothing that could make anyone laugh at all. Only fire juggling, training of seemingly dangerous animals, life-threatening acrobatics, and knife tricks. Many spectators, some of whom had clearly been here before, watched the performances in silent awe.
When the performance was over, one of the circus performers, a formidable-looking man with a burn scar across his face, approached the two students.
— So, how did you like the show, guys?
Although Linnea often wondered if Ipheon had been aware of her presence in the park at the time, the young man's question still caught the girl off guard. Apparently, she was not the only one who often thought about the events of that day.
— I won't lie, that's really how it was, — the Reimi girl confessed with a heavy sigh, — at first it was by chance, and then I was afraid to reveal myself and make the situation awkward. Both for you and for me. Sometimes I even thought about confessing, but then I remembered your request and was afraid that it would cause you unnecessary worry. I'm very sorry that I acted so badly towards you and your mother.
– So, how did you like the show, guys?
Whistling, he went home to sleep.
I'll write back about it next week.
- Yes, quite a spectacular performance. You can immediately tell that these are masters of their craft, - Bert replied confidently, while simultaneously pondering the stranger's intentions. - Did you enjoy it too? - he asked his companion.
— Ha-ha, I'm glad you enjoyed it. But if you did, maybe you'd like to know what's happening behind the scenes?
— Really? Is that possible?
— Of course, we are always happy to have guests. So, what do you say, are you interested?
— I want to, I want to! Bert, let's go!
What weapon will you be using?
— It's really great! — Berwang replied enthusiastically, patting the stranger on the shoulder as if they were close friends.
— Ha-ha, I'm glad you liked it. But if so, maybe you'd like to know what's happening behind the scenes?
— Really? Is that possible?
— Of course, we're always happy to have guests. So, what do you say? Want to see?
— Yes, I want to! Bert, let's go!
- Well, uh, why not? If it doesn't take too long, - Bert ventured, although it seemed strange to him. - Do you often invite people backstage? I always thought that backstage held some kind of mystery, a private life, or something like that.

You should have known how this would end when you went to Yuki, right?
-I didn't think Romeo would suffer. After all, he is a descendant of a noble family, and the transgression he committed wasn't that great. As for Yaspis... I'll be honest with you, Imir - she was unpleasant to me. But not because I was jealous of her beauty. I was simply unpleasant with her... brazenness. I was uncomfortable with how she turned the most sacred mystery of love into something vulgar and repulsive. I'm sorry that Romeo was expelled, but I won't lie - I'm not sorry that Yaspis was expelled.
Where do we end up when we save the world?
