—As they say, lightning doesn't strike the same place twice! So, it's unlikely that anything like that will happen again in this academy. — Bella's face twisted as she realized how awful her own words sounded. —And Shera didn't go anywhere; she spent all this time in the dorm and in town, as I understand it. But we almost lost Cass...

- Are you doing this as a bet with someone? - the only logical explanation that came to mind at that moment.
— Thank you for this "friend," Leila. — Ixora accepted the gift. — Looking at you within these walls, I assume you didn't decide to leave like Yukka and Jin?
Initially, Leila also thought about adding to her speech with reflections on the fact that Carvia's evil deeds were unlikely to serve only to satisfy her cruel fantasies, implying that these fantasies were part of the sorceress's motivation. Miss Imas could have found easier victims than the students of an elite academy, but she chose NAILS as her target. This means that she had another motive. It could have been resentment towards someone on the faculty, but the Taimanian found other options more likely. Options according to which Carvia was not acting alone, and her actions were only part of another, larger plan. In this case, other troubles might await the inhabitants of the academy. Perhaps the teachers have even revised the upcoming curriculum, taking into account this development. But Leila was in no hurry to share her assumptions, so as not to burden her friend with unnecessary information before the exams. Let her assume something similar herself.
For a moment, silence hung in the air, after which the door finally opened a few hand-widths and the face of the room's inhabitant appeared in the gap, with an expression that would be perfect for a serious participant in a comedic mime duo. For a while, she looked at the Barbarian with suspicion, distrust, and even a hint of pity.

—You're right, friend! —Nira supported her neighbor with a confident nod. —And as long as we all stick together, no one will harm each other. 😎 And about Cass, does "almost" mean that it's still not happening? That's just wonderful news! 😊 —After putting her few (this time) belongings on the bed, Nira headed for the door. —I need to go check on everyone; will you come with me, or have you already chatted enough?
going to 403
In room 403, Nirianna finds Shera and Chloe in an unusual setting — the girls were dressed in "kimonos" and were performing a "tea ceremony" using a tea set that Shera bought a month ago during their ill-fated shopping trip.
— Oh, Nira, — Shera nodded at her old friend, not bothering to get up from her awkward position, — you finally came back? I was already thinking I'd be the only one competing in the exams.
— Hello, Nirianna, — Chloe greeted the girl modestly, — how are you?
— That’s right,” the Ta’mani nodded. — I won’t lie and say that the events of the past month didn’t catch me off guard, but I learned my lesson. And to retreat now would be a sign of weakness. If something like this happened here, it could happen anywhere else. And rather than run, hoping that trouble will pass me by, it’s better to be prepared for possible hardships. Otherwise, I risk trapping myself in a dead end from which there will be no escape.
— Oh yeah, I think it would be a bit strange if I started visiting everyone after I've already met them all.

— Oh, Nira, — Shera nodded at her old friend, not bothering to get up from her awkward pose, — so you're back after all? I thought I'd be left without any competition for the exams.
— Hello, Nirianna, — Chloe greeted the girl modestly, — how are you?
Walking closer, the girl looked with interest at the important event taking place in the room. —Is this your tea party? How wonderful! 😍 Oh, it's a pity I don't have such a cute outfit...
Futaba scoffed. She could name at least a dozen reasons off the top of her head that were perfectly obvious.
- Ah, - she finally realized. - You took some pills from your grandfather. Then it makes sense.
Exactly. This girl loved doctors.
- You probably already have a neighbor, - Futaba tried her best to give an awkward smile, although her facial muscles weren't very well suited for it, and the grimace turned out to be rather crooked. - You went to the wrong room, uh... - she couldn't immediately remember the name of her classmate in this stressful situation.
-- As I said, I don't want to impose, -- Varya frowned. -- If you want to live alone, it's your business. I'll just find another roommate, I guess.
-- Oh yes... I didn't have a chance to say "thank you" for how you acted... Well, you know. Saving a teacher is a noble deed, so thank you.
— That's commendable,” commented Ixora, acknowledging his neighbor's determination, — I hope that the rest of our comrades think similarly. We have a tournament and an exam ahead of us – this is not the place for extraneous thoughts.
—Hi, girls! 🖐 —Nira greeted her friends. —By the way, Sher, I think you should start looking for another worthy competitor, considering that the exams will include history and military training... 😞 As for things, they've gotten much better now that I know none of you have left the academy. Oh, and you can just call me "Nira," 😊 —she smiled friendly at Chloe, —because my name is quite a mouthful, hee-hee.

— Perhaps, —Leila agreed with her roommate's words. —Regarding the tournament, I was thinking of dropping by "Ira's Arsenal" while we still have some free time. As far as I know, using your own equipment is not prohibited, and choosing the right gear is also an important part of the preparation. Are you interested?
