he should have studied magic instead

call us for help, we'll all come as a class and beat up this Gilbert

— Hey! — Gilbert approached Moriner and grabbed him by the jacket, — what happened?

Moriner, having calmed down a bit, didn't resist Gilbert and resignedly lowered his head. There was no point in lying or denying anything anymore.
-We... were testing an invention. But there was an accident... the projectile malfunctioned and flew towards the academy. It's my fault. I couldn't handle it and put the lives of other students at risk. - he said it quietly and slowly, barely managing to keep his voice steady.

Be careful with Gilbert, he just got a +25% damage bonus. :)

Gilbert didn't say anything; instead, he headbutted Moriner with all his might, causing the unfortunate student to fall to the floor with a thud. Light tried to stop the enraged guy, but he caught an uppercut to the chin and then a hook to the jaw. As he fell to the floor, the engineer felt someone's weight on him and then the force of blows – Gilbert sat on him and started punching him in the head. Probably, if Galmey hadn't stopped him, taking the classmate's rage upon himself, he would have killed them both on the spot.

Moriner lost consciousness for a short time and therefore didn't know how it all ended. At the moment, he finds himself, Light, and Gilbert in Realgar Muscari's office. The teacher looked at the three of them with a stern gaze, thinking about something, but didn't say anything yet.

"It's a pity he didn't kill me. Then I wouldn't have to think or worry about anything anymore. Ever."
Moriner also fell silent for a moment. His mind and consciousness were now filled with absolute emptiness. His nose ached, one eye seemed to be swollen shut, his cheek was puffy, and his split lip stung. But most of all, his soul ached – from anger, hatred, and resentment – but not towards the frivolous Lyte or the enraged Gilbert; he held no grudge against them. All these negative emotions he felt were directed only towards himself, and the worst punishment for him was precisely the realization of his own guilt.
"I believe you are roughly aware of all the circumstances of this incident," the student said in a timid voice, breaking the silence. "If not, I can briefly recount what happened."

“I should give you both a severe reprimand,” he said, looking at Lyte and Moriner, “so that you understand the gravity of your actions, but I think the sight of the suffering Kaori should have made that clear to you better than any words of mine. If that hasn’t sunk in, then I will personally throw you out like the trash you are. Now he turned his gaze towards Gilbert. “I understand your anger, but that doesn’t excuse your actions. Such behavior is unacceptable, especially for a military man. During wartime, many people could have suffered because of you, including your own friends.” Realgar sighed heavily. “Normally, the three of you would be expelled, but times are troubled, so we will forgo that. You will spend your vacation in solitary confinement and think carefully about what happened.”

The character can use this type of weapon; requires knowledge of the basics of weapon mastery.

Moriner had already rehearsed in his mind the impromptu speech in which he would implore Realgar not to expel Lyte and Gilbert, and to punish only him severely, but fortunately, he didn’t have to do it. A far worse punishment was the inability to see his sick father and the image of the injured student, which remained vividly etched in his mind until the very end of the vacation.

Berwang was clearly delighted that his best friend from the academy had agreed to travel home with him, and an hour later, he and Bertrand were sitting on a train passing through Berwang's hometown. The young man, though seated, was actively looking around, first at the other passengers, then out the window, and then moving in other ways.
— Bert, tell me more about your family!

Miya and Eli, as agreed, went for a walk in the forest together. It was hard to say what made the latter want to visit this place, but it was clear that she enjoyed the fresh air, as well as the animals and plants that inhabited the forests of Akkerwald. Time passed, and the couple did not slow down and continued to move further and further away from the city.

Gengoro and Lattro met in the backyard of the academy, as before. The senior student already looked much better, and there was no doubt that in a month or two, he would return to his former, powerful form.
— Well, Lattro, congratulations again on your victory," he brought a bottle of some alcoholic beverage to the meeting place, "you repeated my feat. All that remains is to win at the national and then international competitions, and you will surpass both me and my class.

I'm heading to a meeting with Sapphire.

And what about...? And what about...? Two boys...

- And from there, it's not far to intercontinental competitions! Thanks,” Latro took a sip of the scorching drink and barely held back tears. “Strong stuff… We won, but I didn’t expect to be hit so skillfully with random artifacts, so now I’m wondering how to avoid such a situation in the future. School tournaments are probably a piece of cake compared to what’s coming. What are they like, are they brutal? Maybe there are some special rules? Do you have any advice?

But what about... But what about... Two boys...

I would gladly spend time with ten boys, but the rep of the class must think about his duties.

Sapphiros and Parphinora met near the main gates of the Reima Military Academy. He introduced himself and thanked her for accepting his invitation.

— Unfortunately, I have no family name by which I could introduce myself, but I hope this will not be a problem. — They did not stand still and headed inside the academy; it was evident that he was well acquainted with the layout. — My class will represent the Arcadia Military Academy at the national Competitive events, and I am more than certain that at some stage we will have to face each other head-on, which is why I wanted to personally meet the person who will be defending the honor of this academy. I apologize for my selfishness, but I am sure that this meeting will not prove useless for either of us.

— Unfortunately, I don't have a family name to introduce myself with, but I hope that won't be a problem. — They didn't stand still and headed inside the academy; it was clear that he was well familiar with the layout. — My class will represent the Arcadia Military Academy at the national competitions, and I'm more than sure that at some point we'll have to face each other, so I wanted to personally meet the person who will defend the honor of this academy. I apologize for my selfishness, but I'm sure this meeting won't be useless for either of us.

— I'm glad to welcome you to our academy, Sapphire — Parphinora replied politely — I share your desire to learn more about each other and about the academies we represent. After all, one of us will have the privilege of defending the honor of our country at the international level.
