I don't know what's going on with the timeline, but Fortis is inviting the guys, except for Dimon and Niets, to get together for half an hour over a beer/cup of tea at Claire's place sometime on the weekend – to chat about how school is going, how the first week went, what the plans are, but everyone kind of knows what the main topic of discussion will be.Author
After the meeting, Michaella goes to Gideon, Futabe, Weilys, and Fortis. She asks them to sign the petition.
-- Hello. What can I do for you? -- Fortis asked more out of politeness, as it wasn't hard to guess the reason for the sudden visit. But when he was handed the petition at the door and told demandingly, "Sign it," that was unexpected. Fortis looked into Michaella's honest eyes, then at the paper – how many had signed, half of the girls' dormitory? A third? Two-thirds? Even if everyone signed, the young man wouldn't be able to shake the feeling of the pointlessness of what was happening. He looked at Michaella again and sighed heavily. -- Listen... are you sure you really need this? Let's be honest: when we first saw this creep, I talked to our head of security, the general. He tried to convince the director not to let this freak in, but he couldn't. If she doesn't listen to the person responsible for security when it comes to security, she won't give a damn about our opinion, the students', let alone when, according to the law, he can't be kicked out anymore. As Mandragora told me, she even refused to warn us because she wanted him to be treated like everyone else – but how will she treat those who point out to her that no one wants to see this demonic face? She'll say that we're all jerks, that we have a biased attitude, and that this degenerate demon, to quote her exactly, is just an "innocent boy" who has suffered. This is a lost cause; we need to deal with him ourselves. Fortis paused, waiting for his interlocutor to process what he had said. -- But if you're not convinced to drop this... give me your petition, I'll sign it and advise others to do the same, just to cover for you. Because if only a couple of you show up, Starlight will make your life miserable, but if we all sign it at once, nothing will happen to us.
During the picnic, Varya also asked the new students about their lives back home, why they decided to come to Sakuramoria to study (this is also interesting to me as a player), about any interesting cultural aspects, and what subjects or weapons the students plan to study at NAILS (I also want to know this detail about their background). However, she did so in a non-intrusive and modest manner, in her own style.
— Thank you for your vigilance and responsibility, Fortis. I certainly won't abandon my work, because those who don't try achieve nothing, but if even this doesn't help, then... I'll have to consider other methods.

However, she did so without being pushy and in her own modest way.

New slogan: "Sign the petition, save Alidume's life!"
During the picnic, Varya asked the newcomers about their homeland, why they decided to come to Sakuramoria to study (this is also interesting to me as a player, if anything), about any interesting cultural aspects, and what the students plan to study at NAILS in terms of weapons or what other subjects they are particularly interested in (I also want to know this detail of the bio). However, she did so without being intrusive and modestly, in her own style.
Having avoided the unpleasant topic of the demon's presence on the academy grounds (from which she tried to deflect by stating that, as a foreigner, she was not entitled to sign such a petition), Ladia was glad to steer the conversation to another topic. — I have never used weapons and generally believe that it is the business of drones, or rather, men, and I am more interested in magic. After all, being able to move objects with the power of thought appeals to me more than callusing my hands with some kind of sword or other weapon. — Drones, hmm? — Shera pondered, remembering her childhood. — My grandfather had his own apiary, and he told me many interesting things about bees. For example, that during copulation with the queen, the drones die, and their reproductive organs are torn off and remain inside the queen, and she often returns to the hive with a white trail, pieces of the sexual organs of her suitors, ha-ha... I wonder if it's the same with your Lilyans? — Uh, ha-ha... No...
— Well, drones aren't really a good comparison... They don't do anything. They certainly aren't entrusted with defending the hive. Our guys are more reliable in that regard, I hope, — the refitter said with an awkward smile. — Sorry if the question is awkward, but how does your magic work? Is it like a sixth sense?
— I have never used weapons and generally believe that it is the business of drones, oh, I mean men, and I am more interested in magic. After all, being able to move objects with the power of thought appeals to me more than callusing my hands with some sword or other weapon.
— Unfortunately, among people, especially the inhabitants of Sakuromoria, the ability to use magic is quite rare and requires great effort, while almost anyone can learn to use weapons, if they wish. And even for a mage, the ability to defend oneself with ordinary weapons may be useful in certain situations, — Leyla lamented in response to the lily's words. — At the same time, I cannot but agree with you about the superiority of magic. Outside of war, sports competitions, and certain kinds of performances, your weapon skills are unlikely to find application. However, magic, already being a more flexible tool on the battlefield, seems to me to be an extremely useful tool even in everyday life. In fact, the desire to master the magical arts was one of the reasons why I decided to enroll in NAILS.

— Sorry if the question is awkward, but how does your magic work? Like a sixth sense?
— Like a sixth size, — Elliot reappeared from the bushes.
-- Well, comparing them to drones isn't very accurate... They don't really do anything. They certainly aren't entrusted with defending the Hive. Our guys are more reliable in that regard, I hope, -- the refitter said with an awkward smile. -- Sorry if this is an awkward question, but how does your magic work? Is it like a sixth sense?
— It's not exactly an awkward question, it's just a bit difficult to answer. It's roughly the same as moving your fingers, except the difference between an experienced mage and a beginner is that the former can not only move them, but also play instruments or craft something.

— A healthy mind in a healthy body! — Shea disagreed. — Martial arts is a way of life! — Yeah, that's probably why there are so many crazy and perverted people among the mages, — Shira lazily supported the novice warrior, — they probably lack physical activity, as well as sunshine and fresh air.
"Sunshine is, of course, nice, but it's more pleasant to take a walk in the evening, at dusk." -- Hmm... What if we face the same problem if the summer classes are held indoors...
After meeting with Michael, he goes to Gideon, Futabe, Weiliss, and Fortis. He asks them to sign the petition.
After glancing at the meager text of the petition, Gideon regretfully noted that it seemed vague and could easily be dismissed as a reaction to the shock of seeing an unexpected guest. — I agree that the presence of a demon within our walls is unacceptable and will not lead to anything good. At the same time, as Fortis has already discovered, this is not some kind of mistake, but a deliberate decision that even Duncan could not persuade them to abandon. It is difficult to judge what caused it; I suspect that there is some kind of influence at play, so powerful that no rebellious piece of paper, no matter how many signatures it has, can overcome it. Under these circumstances, Michael, I fear that we will not see any sudden enlightenment from the administration, which means that we will have to solve the problem in some other way. Again glancing at the sheet, the young man continued. — But I will still sign your petition. This bold initiative, along with the determination to see it through, cannot simply be ignored. The more signatures, the greater the chance that the headmistress will at least consider that something is wrong and will be able to better resist rash ideas in the future.
- A petition? Hmm... - Vail paused. He didn't particularly like mutants, but he also looked down on various "exterminators of evil," as you never knew what they would start fighting tomorrow, labeling it as "evil." - I think it's strange to question the decisions of the academy's leadership, even considering the incident with Carvia. But we are here to learn to coexist and live together, and in some cases, to instill civilized behavioral norms in students, and such initiatives go against the institution's policies. In any case, it would be better to talk to all the teachers first, and only then dismiss such actions. Do you think Laurence would approve of this? - the young man asked his classmate.
Michaella nods approvingly, thanks Gideon, and walks on.

— We'll talk after we collect the signatures, so it's clear that this is an important issue for us, and not something that can be easily dismissed.
— And I'll sign... — Toad said hesitantly. — After what happened, I'd rather not have any more surprises. If not a demon, then someone else will attack him, — he casts a fearful glance at Michaella.
