Posts from The Empire of Reimia (3) Auto-translated

Just like in the qualifying competitions, in the clash with the fourth group, their team's opponent fell quickly and decisively. One after another, they fell either from the shots fired by Bertrand and Ipheon, hidden in the forests, or from Latro's, albeit quite effective, showmanship with a revolver, or from her and Azarina's rapid assault. Surprisingly, it was an easy victory, although this time their opponent wasn't their comrades, who were upset by the translation of their favorite representative, but the best students from their academy. According to information from the journalism club, they were very talented – in no way worse than the capital's elite. Linnea wanted to somehow support and comfort the opponents who hadn't even managed to fire a single shot before their defeat, but she couldn't find the right words – the phrases that came to her mind sounded either not sincere enough or too condescending. The best option the girl saw was simply to thank them for participating.

Observers of this stage of the Competitive noted the determination and swiftness of the winners, praising the leadership qualities of their captain and the precision demonstrated by her subordinates.
Medal for victory over the Brightwind Military Academy named after Delirium A. Belring, student of the military academy Reyma, class III, autumn 834.

+1 to luck, +1 to sadism.

At the beginning of next week, it became known that in the neighboring round, teams from Arcadia and Illita would compete. This meant that if Arcadia won, its representatives would have to face the team of Saphirus, which, according to polls, was the favorite of the Tournament. The opponent of the Reyma Military Academy was also determined – it will be the Academy of Idols, also representing the capital. This educational institution only participated in national Competitives this year and initially made viewers skeptical about its participation, but after a convincing victory in the first round, many people's opinions changed. The swimming club will represent the Academy of Idols.

- Hey, Parfinorka,” a guy from the journalism club approached the president during a break between classes, “amazing victory last week. I hope my information came in handy.

I'm going to sleep. Additional information: - The investigation into the Eli and Xenomia case is still ongoing; it has been determined that the men who attacked the students were involved in illegal business, but the current investigation is looking into the possibility that the criminals, or some of them, were killed after they were subdued. - Shogo expresses his desire to participate in the next stage of the competition. - The journalist, as before, demands 2700 for his information (including the discount).

— Hey, Parfinorka, — a guy from the journalism club approached the student council president during a break between classes, — amazing victory last week. I hope my information was helpful.

The aristocrat winced:
-Please, address me as "Parfinora." Yes, the information was helpful. As before, I will contact you later when I have the money.

Shogo expresses his desire to participate in the next stage of the competition.

-Shogo, there have been rumors circulating around the academy for a long time that you have special abilities — Parfinora said frankly — if you tell me what they are, I will consider what role you can play in the next competitions.

-Shogo, there have been rumors circulating around the Academy for a while that you possess special abilities," Parfynora said frankly, "if you tell me what they are, I'll consider what role you can play in the upcoming competitions.

— You really want to know?

— Do you really want to know?

Parfinora remembered everything she knew about Shogo – especially his behavior – and blushed:
-If it will help us in competitions or in battle, then yes...

– Alright, – Shogo moved closer to Parfynore so he could whisper in her ear, – I have a large member and unlimited stamina. – He returned to his previous distance. – I’m not sure, though, how useful that would be in a fight.

I think if you use Shogo's talents, you'll get stat bonuses. Give it a try.

-Well, if that's true, come to my room and take off your pants - if you can last until the end of the week, you'll make it to the competition.
Parfinora blushed from the roots of her hair and jumped back a meter from Shogo:
-Y-y-you could have just said that she won't be helpful in battle! And no, with that kind of quirk, I can't promise you a spot on the team! B-but - Parfinora was already a little calmer - I promise to think about it.

By the way, I'm asking everyone again to chip in for the purchase of information.

- The investigation into the case of Eli and Xenomia is still ongoing; it has been determined that the men who attacked the students were involved in illegal business, but the current investigation is also looking into the possibility that the criminals, or some of them, were killed after they were subdued.

Since Xenomia didn't know what Eli would say in response to such an accusation, or if she would say anything at all, she tries to avoid answering directly whenever possible (unless she is specifically asked to). Her position was that they tried to minimize casualties – and this was true, even though Eli didn't immediately agree to a more merciful outcome, she eventually did.
However, as a backup plan, Mia was prepared to take the blame for her friend – by coming up with a plausible reason why she (Mia) acted the way she did.

Something strange was definitely happening in Reims – the soldiers were supposed to be models, and the models with the singers were soldiers. One could even think that Rinze, by overseeing both academies, had developed some kind of mental confusion, resulting in both institutions receiving the same instructions on student training. Or perhaps it was some kind of strange social experiment, and the confusion in Her Majesty's mind had been brewing for years, only now surfacing. Either way, Linnea was extremely curious to hear about the capabilities of their team's next opponents, and so she parted with her money more readily than last time.

By the way, I'm asking everyone again to chip in for the purchase of information.

Azarina agrees to pay.
Shogo agrees to pay.
Bervang agrees to pay.
Anelotta refuses to pay.
Ifeon agrees to pay.
Lait refuses to pay.
Imir agrees to pay.

Parfinora found herself standing at the door of Moriner's room again, although her intentions were different from what the young man might expect:
-Hello. I feel awkward asking for your help, even though you promised to provide it... Anyway, we need money again to buy information about our opponents - we need to compensate for the share of those who refused to pay. And also, I have a personal request. Before these competitions, I prepared very intensively and, to be honest, I'm almost completely exhausted. Therefore, I'm not sure if I can attend the tactics lecture at the end of the month. Could you go there instead of me, and then maybe help me catch up?
