Vote for Gideon.
Buying a helmet.
I'm a little confused about the astrology: can I keep the -15% bonus on persuasion and only change the monthly bonus? Or if I change the month, do I lose the discount?

You can change the monthly bonus without losing the discount, or choose a bonus from a different category.

The helmet requires a nightstand.

Lol. I'm used to having a helmet on my head... so I won't buy it.

you need a head to eat with, not to wear a helmet.

Being dedicated to modern sportswear, this issue turned out to be closer to Cassia and largely reflected her own sense of style, but Nira could certainly find something interesting for herself in it.

After carefully reviewing the magazine's contents, briefly glancing at the incomprehensible black sign on the third picture, Nira decided that it should definitely be recommended to Cassia. As for herself, a good outcome of reading it was at least pride in her advanced region, which, as always, remained at the peak of the latest technologies.

Lorance Hatiora's lecture this week was canceled for reasons unknown to the students, but at the beginning of the next week, they were informed that the theology and philosophy teacher had resigned and left NAILS. It also became known that Levisia Starlight was urgently sent on a mission to Saint Laura to improve diplomatic relations with Aoki and reduce the risk of war between the two countries. Her duties as director were temporarily transferred to Duncan.

While the students were preparing to cast their votes in what was probably the first important public election of their lives, Duncan decided to introduce them to their new teacher, who would replace Lorance Hatiora as the teacher of theology and philosophy and curator of the first class starting today.

Apparently, "someone" or "something" really didn't want to give the students a single peaceful quarter: as soon as the demonic squabbles of June subsided, they were replaced by unexpected changes in the leadership of the academy itself. Even the founder of NAILS was separated from her own brainchild. Well, at least her spirit will forever remain within these walls, Nira thought, looking at the luxurious portrait of Levisia, which looked down on them from the walls of her room.
Having delved deeply into the teachings of Avaritia, she no longer saw the former sweet and clumsy person in the royal granddaughter. It would be foolish of her to even assume that behind Levisia's merits and achievements, there was really a simple and naive girl living with loud dreams of love for all the world. Her entire fragile external image, coupled with obvious machinations within the walls of the academy itself, and, without a doubt, other of her "charitable" projects, reminded Nira of an improved version of her own aspirations. To gain the opportunity to realize all her desires and ambitions, while remaining loved and adored by everyone, is truly a worthy example to follow!
And yet, something in this picture didn't add up. The recent changes were too strange and unexpected. The conflict of interest between Levisia and Duncan had been evident almost since the beginning of the year, but Nira couldn't have imagined that the old general would be the winner. And this mysterious replacement of Lorance with the royal supervisor – after her fiery speech, it could be called nothing else. Why did they suddenly find out in the middle of the school year that the old ruler of Sakuramoria was interested in his granddaughter's project to such an extent? However, given the number of aristocratic personalities in their ranks, the latter was not so surprising, and yet the girl had a feeling that there was an obvious conflict in the higher echelons of power regarding the future of NAILS.
Did the destruction of Levisia's faction mean that instead of tolerant lectures, they would be subjected to nationalist ideas, and equality and friendship would be replaced by oppression of non-humans and military slogans? Will they finally be forced to kiss the belated pro-government boot, no longer hiding the militaristic direction of the current course? And what secret did the history professor still hide, suspicions about which she could not shake off after the Karvi incident?
But all this was not so important, what did she care about the petty squabbles of blue-bloods, the outcome of which she could not influence anyway. Her only and primary task remained to ensure the preservation of her status in the eyes of teachers and classmates, which means she had to embody the image of Levisia in every detail – an innocuous person who is much more beneficial to have as an ally than as a threat that needs to be beheaded or something even worse.

The new week began with all the students being gathered in the main hall, where each of them had to anonymously vote for one of the candidates:

Without a moment's hesitation, Nira casts her vote for Gideon. 😍

Looking with disgust at the excited schoolchildren chattering as they headed towards the event, which was essentially a discarded scrap of something supposedly representing one of the facets of democracy, Futaba silently wished them the strength to cope with the near future. The average child, whose typical life choices involved selecting a clean pair of socks, probably felt like a grown-up, responsible citizen participating in their own and the collective destiny. They likely didn't realize that the so-called choice offered to them by the oppressive class wasn't their inherent natural right or an event that could actually influence anything, but merely a bone or a stick thrown to a dog to watch it, drooling, chase after it and, with a subservient look, bring it back to its owner – "Praise me." A minute later, the owner, at their own whim, takes the stick, beats the dog with it, and then shoves it up its rear end. And if, before the events of the last few weeks, some hope for positive change could still flicker on the edge of consciousness, then afterward, it became crystal clear that what was happening was a farce, one of the faces of the overall scheme of enslavement and mockery of the students. If it were possible, Futaba would have liked to withdraw both her own candidacy and the candidacy of everyone else. It was perfectly clear that the position of student president put its unsuspecting victim in harm's way, preparing them to become a controllable pawn in the interests of the bandits who had enslaved them. In this regard, in a position that promised only suffering, she couldn't imagine anyone other than herself, but she understood that her vulnerable position, coupled with the burden of the chains of the office and some nominally pseudo-expanded powers, opened up a wide range of new opportunities for abuse by the powerful maniacs. The only remaining option, besides the meaningless "against all" option, was to choose the strongest personality among those remaining, with a strong sense of self and mental health, capable of resisting, to some extent, the arbitrary whims of the scoundrels from the teaching staff and other groups. The only candidate who could be described in this way was Gideon. He was reserved, laconic, and sometimes expressed agreement and obedience to the ideas of the teaching staff. But at the same time, it was obvious that, without being a public rebel, he had a strong core and possessed his own clear opinion on the surrounding events. If anyone could withstand this storm of chaotic, monstrous events with the least amount of loss for themselves and others, it was him, Futaba decided, marking the corresponding option on the ballot.

While the students were voting and Duncan was counting the votes, Ianira decides to play the piano. Now, at least, the academy could rest assured that it wouldn't be left without a musician on its faculty.

After the voting ended, the students had to spend a whole half-hour listening to an impromptu performance by the new teacher, and only after that time did Duncan Mandragora reappear on stage. It was hard to say what had taken him so long, whether it was related to the academy's regulations or whether he simply wanted to create a specific atmosphere before announcing the results. Be that as it may, he held a sheet of paper with the voting results in his hand and was ready to begin reading them out.

It was hard to say what took up so much of his time.

He was climbing the stairs.
