— Well, uh, who in your class is in charge of finances? I thought it was you... And as for it being a bit expensive, just think about it – it's a different Academy.

Bert tells you who to approach and what she looks like.

-Oh, come on, it's nothing. And you're welcome, I'll definitely reach out.

-- Moriner, slightly embarrassed, lowered his gaze and absentmindedly ran his hand through his tangled hair. -Well, good luck with the competitions.

And as for it being a bit expensive, think about it – it's a foreign academy.

Yes, I thought it was for three. If it's for one, it's a bit expensive, but if you guys decide to chip in, I'll contribute.

A guy from the journalism club says goodbye to Bert and approaches Parfinore with the same question.

When the curator's meeting ended, Moriner rushed to the hospital to find out how the student, who was injured due to his actions, was doing and if everything was alright.

Arriving at his destination, Moriner stops. As it turns out, his classmate, Light, had gotten there before him. — I'm really sorry that this happened! — Light bowed his head. — Please forgive me... Kaori patted the guy on the head. — It's okay, I don't hold any grudges. Just promise me that this won't happen again, not just to me, but to anyone, okay? — Of course, I promise... After saying goodbye to the sick girl, he headed towards the exit and, noticing Moriner, blushed like a tomato. He silently walked past him and disappeared around the corner.

The Rhemic Codex Chapter I: Loyalty In order for people to lead fulfilling lives, they must eliminate chaos and achieve order, both on a personal and societal level; having meaning, security, and knowing what needs to be done next in life brings hope and peace, allowing one to live a happy life. For this to be possible, everyone must know their place in society; the task of a subject is to inform the master about the incorrectness of his decision if he believes it to be so, but still carry out the command given to him if the master insists on it. It should always be remembered that the imperial decree, being the highest good for all the people of the empire, is absolute and must be carried out at all costs. Loyalty (1000) Character cannot be influenced; +5 Willpower, +5 Resistance; characters with the "demonic blood" trait receive +100% Stamina, +5% Accuracy, +5% Dodge. Chapter II: Courage and Honor A subject of the empire must understand what is right and act accordingly. Awareness of the correctness of an action and avoiding it is a lack of courage and leads to poisoning of the soul. Courage (1000) The character is not susceptible to fear; negates negative effects of the Barbarian, Distractibility, Cowardice, Loner, Laziness traits. Chapter III: Justice A subject of the empire must be fair and impartial towards everyone, including himself; failure to follow these basic principles leads to the decay of society and the weakening of the state. Justice (1000) +1 Charisma +2 Charisma if possessing the "natural leader" trait; negates negative effects of the Narcissism, Hatred of Men, Hatred of Women traits. Chapter IV: Courtesy, Restraint, and Benevolence A subject of the empire must always be aware of how to behave in society and alone with oneself. Politeness and good manners should be based on kindness and understanding of the feelings of those around him, but not on the fear of spoiling his image. Benevolence (600) Mercy: The character loses the penalty for Accuracy; healing spells cast on allies are always successful. Neatness: The character uses two rolls on tests and receives the highest result. Energy: +1 additional event per month. Luck: +20% chance to receive twice as much experience after training. Chapter V: Sincerity A subject of the empire must be sincere with himself and always express his true feelings and thoughts before others, provided that this does not jeopardize the fulfillment of his duty. Sincerity (1500) Intelligence: Learning speed +5%, Accuracy +1%. Perception: Critical hit +5%. Genius: Additional action. Nobility: +2 Charisma. Curiosity: +1 Event Points. Berserk: Damage is converted into Stamina. Sadism: Damage increased by 5%. Masochism: Self-inflicted damage reduced by 3%. Chapter VI: Beauty How can one stop being ugly and blossom like spring flowers? This question should concern everyone who lives in society, and a citizen of the empire, being part of a highly developed civilization, must leave behind a trace of beautiful fragrance, look good, and be stylishly dressed. Of course, not everyone is lucky enough to have natural beauty from birth, but in an age of high technology, neglecting cosmetic procedures is a crime. If everyone takes proper care of themselves, it will not only make the individual feel better about their own beauty, but also all members of society. "Silentia" Cosmetics -50/300 Rumies per month Body and Face Care (500) +10 to Attractiveness (does not stack); when using additional cosmetics and spending one event point, additionally increases character attractiveness by "20". Chapter VII: Diligence A subject of the empire must put forth every effort to achieve the best result regardless of how insignificant his activity may seem. Diligence (3000) Strength: Stamina +25. Agility: Dodge +1%. Resistance: Magic Resistance +5%. Light Footedness: Dodge +6%. Affinity: +100% to learning speed in chosen magic direction. Obsession with Magic: Magic learning speed +50%. Obsession with Ranged Weapons: Weapon skill learning speed +50%. Obsession with Melee Weapons: Melee weapon skill learning speed +50%. Obsession with Technology: Skill learning speed related to technology +60%.

Opening a chapter costs 1 Event Point; any experience can be used to learn these skills.

Having reached his destination, Moriner stopped. As it turned out, his classmate, Light, had gotten there before him.
— I'm really very sorry that this happened! — Light bowed his head. — Forgive me... Please.
Kaori patted the boy on the head. — It's okay, I'm not angry or holding a grudge. Just promise me that this won't happen again, not just with me, but with anyone, okay?
— Of course, I promise...
After saying goodbye to the sick girl, he headed towards the exit and, noticing Moriner, blushed like a tomato. He walked past him in silence and disappeared around the corner.

Moriner wasn't sure that Light, knowing his character, would come running to apologize profusely, but he was genuinely glad that he was wrong.
— Oh, um, hello. — He made an awkward greeting gesture to Kaori with his hand. — I guess after... what happened, seeing our faces again probably won't improve your mood much, but I'm here for pretty much the same reason as Light.
Moriner paused briefly, gathering his thoughts.
— I'm really very sorry for what I did, and I understand that my heartfelt apologies probably won't do much to help your recovery, but I want you to know that I sincerely and deeply regret everything and hope that this won't affect your health or studies.
Turning briefly towards the departing Light, he added:
— To be honest, Light is an excellent engineer and a wonderful inventor, and none of this would have happened at all if I hadn't ruined everything with my inexperience and clumsiness. So don't be angry with him, rather be angry with me. And once again, please forgive me for ruining your vacation. — He also bowed his head.

“Oh, I have so many guests today,” the student said with an embarrassed smile as Moriner greeted her. “I know you didn’t mean to, so don’t worry. And by the way, I apologize for Gilbert; he’s a good guy, but he doesn’t always have control over himself.”

— Oh, I have so many guests today, — the student said with an embarrassed smile when Moriner greeted her. — I know you didn't mean to, so don't worry. And I apologize for Gilbert, by the way; he's a good guy, but he doesn't always know how to control himself.

— It's okay, he had every right to be angry with us. Well, I won't bother you anymore. I wish you a speedy recovery, — Moriner said goodbye.
He immediately felt a little better, but only slightly, because now he had to deal with even more pressing matters.

A guy from the journalism club says goodbye to Bert and approaches Parfynore with the same question.

-I don't have that much money on me, but I can get it. I'll find you at the journalism club this week. If it doesn't cost event points, of course.

— Okay, good luck with that. I'll be waiting.
But what if he spends it and you can't find it?!

No, then I'll switch to hysterical mode and accuse the male Arcs about not fulfilling his duties.

- go on, spend your points, you goat!

Taking advantage of the fact that their meeting with the curator had just ended and all the students were leaving the classroom, Parphinora loudly addressed everyone: “Ladies and gentlemen of class 3! Please come to me, I will make a small announcement as class president.” When everyone had gathered around her, she began to speak: “Soon we will have another Competitive event. Our last victory was largely due to the fact that we had complete information about our opponents. The purchase of this information was fully sponsored by Moriner, for which I express my heartfelt gratitude – she put her hand to her heart and nodded to the young man – because, in preparing the action plan, as well as during its implementation, one of the most important steps is to have knowledge of your opponent. I have just received an offer to purchase information about our future opponents, and I believe that it would be unfair to ask Moriner to pay for this service in full again. Therefore, I propose that all of us, our entire class, contribute some of our money so that our class can win the Competitive event. The information costs 2700 Rumis, there are 13 of us here (Xenomia and Emi are not with us), so each person will need to contribute 210 Rumis. I hope for your understanding.

As Xenomia read the codex, her eyes widened more and more. No, in principle, much of it resonated with her, but such an absolute tone left a rather unpleasant impression and certainly didn't help. The ancient Enclavian books she had read before called for roughly the same thing, but... they contained some explanations. Why one should be sincere and kind, why one should be strict with oneself... and what to do if it doesn't work out. Here, however... for now, it seemed that the method of the "stick" from Mia's bracelet was more effective in her upbringing than all of this guide. But maybe it was worth taking a closer look? The section on beauty seemed particularly strange. Although, unlike the rest, it was, strangely enough, clearly understandable from a practical point of view, the recommendations themselves almost drove the girl to complete despair. "Am I so ugly that my only way out is to hide myself behind a thick layer of makeup?! Not to mention how much time such a procedure will take... and how much time it will continue to take!" Mia approached the mirror in horror. Yes, she didn't use any special cosmetics, didn't wear perfume... but she did apply oil to her skin to keep it firm (perhaps not the best option, but she didn't know any other way), and she washed her hair thoroughly... What was wrong? Did she really need to turn herself into one of the nameless, identically looking (because they all use the same makeup) models from cosmetic companies – and only then would she have a chance? No... that wasn't it. Just not it. She remembered how her former classmate, Relgar, said that he wanted to create something inspiring... If she, Mia, wanted to become a reliable support for others, then she should be exactly that – inspiring! So that people would be happy to see her, and not say: "Oh, she looks so much like a model I know!" She needed to get rid of that tense and perpetually troubled expression on her face... Yes, like right now, get rid of that. Her gaze should be bright! A smile... she needed to learn how to smile properly, not with a "I'm trying" smile, but with a "I'm in control, don't be afraid!" smile. Developing the thought, the girl continued to stand in front of the mirror, experimenting with emotions, trying out different hairstyles, and so on. Who knows if it will bear fruit...

Bertrand pays for himself and for Berwang, having warned him in advance.
