When the piece of trash left the room, the girl turned to Shogo.
— So, are you really not planning to watch the finale? I think it might be fun.

— So, you definitely won't watch the finale?

and they really are Barbarians

Moriner, as usual, deeply engrossed in his own thoughts, didn't immediately notice the appearance of new faces in their class. Like the others, he politely introduced himself to the new girl, and completely ignored the strange guy, waiting for permission to finally leave the class and return home.
The weeks that had passed had made him somewhat detach himself from the sad events of the past month; he had even found reading the new code to be somewhat engaging. Of course, there were plenty of flaws and shortcomings that he could (albeit only inwardly and with a touch of regret) argue with, but there were also things that genuinely interested the student. As for the rest of his studies, he made every effort to try not to fail the tests coming up at the end of the week – and while the others enjoyed participating in and watching international competitions, he, as usual, completely immersed himself in the study materials.

Section about cosmetics.

- Well, she's still a long way from being as good as Azarina, - Bert thought, looking at the new one. and put his hand back in his pants

— Nope! I don't think I'll find anything interesting there for myself.

The final of the Competitive began with a rather disappointing announcement for the audience: due to health reasons, Sapphiros would not be able to participate in the final stage of the Tournaments. In addition, representatives of the Arcadia Military Academy could not find a replacement for him, as well as a replacement for Marius Elvizer, who, for certain reasons, had to stay with the sick. Because of this, they will have to perform with six people against a full team of opponents.

Chitose Hiragi coped with her duties as a leader and strategist of the team quite competently, but, as expected, noticeably inferior to the captain, which their opponents from the private military academy of Orion took advantage of. Moreover, Ishiki, the captain and strategist of this team, as well as Nigella, its leader, exploited the lack of people and deliberately prolonged the match in order to humiliate the opponent as much as possible. By the end of the confrontation, however, only three remained able to continue the fight — Ishiki, Nigella, and an Arcadian swordsman named Luyan. It was quite strange that the members of the Orion Military Academy team lost the ability to continue the fight not so much because of the actions of the opponent, but because of the despotic orders of their leaders. In the end, Luyan and Ishiki met in a duel, and, to the latter's surprise, the swordsman, who used two swords simultaneously in his style, was not inferior to him in skill and at some point was close to defeating him, but this did not happen: Ishiki took out a pistol hidden in his jacket pocket and shot Luyan in the head when he least expected it. Fortunately, it turned out to be not a combat cartridge...
The national Competitive ends with the victory of the private military academy led by Ishiki and Nigella.

Parfinora gritted her teeth and, without waiting for any further announcements, left the competition venue.

Despite attempts to humiliate their opponents as much as possible, Linnea believed that Ishiki and Nigella’s team only humiliated themselves. They barely managed to achieve victory, even though they were playing against an incomplete team. Regardless of the rules, the Reimi couldn’t see the Academy of Orion as the winners – their opponents deserved far more praise, no matter what anyone said.

— Wonderful, class III. Now you are not as pathetic as you were in the past and can confidently head into battle.

The strength and agility test was conducted, to some's disappointment, without the use of enhancers and just as harshly as before.

Although not everyone managed to meet the academy standards, Mari was very pleased with today's results.

Having finished Maria Kamia's hellish trials, the students limped to the training range where they were to continue testing, this time in the company of Realgar Muscari. Fortunately, he did not demand anything superhuman from them; all they had to do was empty six M&O-830 magazines at maximum distance. Naturally, without enhancers.

The topic of Euriala Grace's test was the current political situation within the country and on the international arena. Students were required to write about how they viewed the same situation and Rheima's relations with its neighbors, and what they thought about recent changes in the country. The curator strongly recommended that her charges write their "honest and well-thought-out opinion".

Early on a weekend morning, someone was knocking loudly at Marey's room door.

- Trip to M&O (?)
A student group interested in purchasing new weapons is planning to go to M&O to check out the latest arrivals.
- Idol Academy (?)
Impressed by the second round of national competitions, the female students decide to visit the Idol Academy.
- Pazori' same Studio (?)
Some of Realgar's acquaintances decide to visit him at home.
- Park (?)
Some of the female students decide to go running to get in shape.
- Lake (?)
The guys are doing physical training and unarmed combat practice.
- Workshop (?)
?
- Backyard (?)
?
- Cafeteria (?)
?

- Academy of Idols (?)
Impressed by the second round of the national competition, the students decide to visit the Academy of Idols.

I'm going there, lol.

The group that decided to visit the Academy of Idols consisted of four people: Azarina, Mariarina, Monarda, and Linnea. The girls planned to simply familiarize themselves with the institution, but they were lucky (?) to encounter Empress Rinze Reim, and soon they found themselves on a preparatory course. Her Majesty Rinze Reim examined the students from head to toe and asked them various questions. Finally, it was Linnea's turn.
— Too tall. — Rinze looked at the student with a thoughtful gaze. — Tell me about your strengths.

Even as they prepared for their journey, Neyu couldn't shake the feeling that she had forgotten something terrible, and it was only during the meeting with the Empress that she realized what it was: Rynze Reim had visited this academy much more often than for military purposes. Of course, there were certain advantages to this meeting – with a bit of luck, she could make a good impression on Her Majesty. Nevertheless, the Reimi girl couldn't say she was particularly happy about this encounter. However, when it came to answering questions, she tried to be sincere and truthful, although she was constantly afraid of missing something.
“I always strive forward and put in all the effort to become a better person. I am critical of myself. I know that I still have room to grow, but that only gives me more motivation to work on myself. I am brave and do not shy away from challenges. I try to support people with words and deeds, and also to remain in a good mood, because people cannot rely on someone who is constantly sad. I am curious and strive not to limit my interests to just one thing, because it is the knowledge of new things that helps a person grow. I am friendly and polite. I try not only to accept but also to understand other people's points of view.”

Rinze made some notes in her head and then said to the girl in an authoritative tone to smile.

Linnea followed the Empress’s instruction without complaint and smiled. Smiling, even when she didn’t particularly feel like it, had long become a habit for Linnea, serving as a mask for stress, irritation, and even confusion, or simply as a way to make people feel comfortable around her.

After listening to Linnea’s answer and assessing her smile based on some criteria of her own, Rinze sent the girl to change clothes. In the designated room, she had to meet Kanade, who was supposed to arrange her appearance. The outfit chosen by the idol looked like this: After changing clothes, another student from the academy began to groom Linnea under Kanade's guidance. Her nails were coated with a rich pink polish, her hair was styled into twin ponytails, her cheeks were blushed, and overall, they made her look as cute as possible. After that, it turned out that Linnea was going to go on stage in front of Rinze and other people unfamiliar to her. She was required to somehow charmingly introduce herself, bend forward, form a heart shape with her hands, and give a wide smile, after which she would leave the stage while maintaining the image.
