Varya continues to pretend to be a statue, though she is fully prepared to draw her weapon and fight the teachers here and now, if it comes to that.

— What shall we do, Your Majesty? — Duncan asks, looking at Fortis. — It seems that one of your subjects has decided to turn his back on you, and I cannot simply ignore such a treacherous act.
— You are an experienced war veteran, but you are past your prime, old man. Fortis has been with us for a short time, but even in that time, he has shown that he has the heart of a lion. I need subjects like him. He doesn't like that you impose order through force, so he challenged your authority. I respect that desire, and so should you. As part of my election program, I will allow you to have a duel, but on one condition. This man has the potential to become the strongest knight, surpassing you many times over, and I will not allow his potential to be stifled. In other words, you are not allowed to kill or maim him. As for Fortis... If he manages to kill or maim you, it means you are too old and weak to fulfill your duties, and you deserve it.
Futaba turned her gaze to all the other students, including her classmates.
— However, there is another point! No matter how old "Teacher" Mandragora may be, his century of combat experience fighting against superior forces cannot be denied, and his equipment is much better than ours. Therefore, it would be fair and just if everyone who is dissatisfied with the harsh execution of today's ceremony joins Fortis to fight against "Teacher." Under the same conditions—no one from the "subjects" should be killed or maimed. You wouldn't refuse such a fitting challenge to your rank, would you, General, Sir, Comrade, Teacher?
Ianira Vasilyok arrived as a replacement for our Laurence. Only she can never replace her in anything. Where did she even come from? There is absolutely nothing to her and I doubt she even knows how to teach. Only a few months have passed, yet there have already been so many departures, deaths, and now a replacement. All this is very strange, especially for a royal academy. And where could Laurence have gone?
Clivia Everfragrance recently conducted a first aid lesson, in which the corresponding techniques were practiced. I feel sorry for those who had to participate in it. Although no, if I remember who it was. The session could have been much more interesting had she herself been in the role of the victim. And yes, I've never heard of a worse surname.
Gideon Welfasiv is our class monitor or something like that. Usually restrained and calm, although he recently showed his other side. Anyone can snap, so it's not surprising. Most of the time I think he's busy with studying and various mechanisms, maybe something else too.
Varvara Bellring or rather the tallest girl. There are suspicions that it was because of her that Michaela decided to introduce a rule regarding long skirts. Quite strange, she carries around a tattered bear, and recently even pinned a medal on it. Constantly reads books. But then again, she can be seen from afar. She could serve as a landmark or a beacon if you lose your friends in a crowd.
Layla Squill tells everyone that she has green hair, although this is not the case. She wears her peaked cap, which clearly only causes inconvenience. Seems to be friends with the red-haired fanatic.
Futaba Sekuhara is a bit tall for her face. Those types are usually shorter. Almost a female version of Elliot, although her interests are likely different. But the most important thing is that she saved Laurence and killed the crazy Sorceress. Such a thing is not forgotten.
Nirianna Melvans I think is friends with all the girls in the academy; at least they constantly walk as a group, giggling and chatting. It's as if she came here not to study, but to have fun and relax. The right approach, plus one for her for that.
Fortis Vir likely came for exactly opposite purposes than Nira. He looks a bit like Gideon (they'll probably become friends), but also like some soldiers, including the newcomers.
Girls:
Bella Bless is a pretty girl from a wealthy family, which is certainly a surprise, but a pleasant one. Like a goldfish in a pond with ordinary fish. She makes a pleasant impression, although it's unknown how much my assumptions correspond to reality. Still waters run deep—or as old woman Nironega said, demons dwell in quiet pools. In any case, I like her for now. I think I'll invite her somewhere soon.
Cassia Zlodrev and Vita Pleiona. Until recently they seemed very similar, since they are the same type and I think both love sports. They could easily be sisters. However, the first one seems aloof, while the second one considered my offer quite appropriate (not counting the little one), which makes her an undoubtedly attractive person, in addition to her pleasant appearance.
Bonita Haline could have become invisible if not for her strange outfit. In fact, it's only by it that I notice her and realize she is nearby. I don't know what she does, although I think she was with us in drawing class.
Buddleja Cuncit is full of alluring mysteries that one wants to get to know more closely. She can certainly surprise, and clearly in a pleasant way. Perhaps it would have been worth paying attention specifically to her? For some reason, she seems like an almost ideal companion for travels and other rash decisions that many call "living in the moment or for today."
Renn Re Vann is a case where attention shifts to the girl on its own. It's hard to find any words, because when thinking of her, only her image comes to mind and... well, that's about it. ☺️
Iva Sextillion is truly a strange girl (in fact, not just as others say), which is expressed in practically everything, so there's no point in describing every detail. And who decided to name their daughter after a tree?
Mana La Luna is another local beauty, but less prominent, as she is quiet and wears simpler clothes than the others. I understand why Elliot singled her out.
Neomarika Walze could easily have become my number one if not for her height. We were lacking such girls in the academy, but the newcomers arrived and filled this void. She looks militant, even a bit cold, but still attractive.
Ladia Moa is a bit brash, just like someone, but externally the complete opposite, except of course for her height, which is a plus. She also stands out against many, but doesn't evoke any particular emotions, which is actually good, considering Toada.
Claudia Smaragd could easily share her little outfit with Layla; it would match her hair. Overall she seems cute, but looks younger than most and her own age in particular.
Shea is a visiting savage who doesn't differ much in manners or behavior. Although perhaps it would be more correct to write that she does differ. She clearly loves to fight. I think she should be introduced to Bao; they will definitely find common topics for conversation, or interests.
James Vishnya and Nedge Asaliant are like two acrobat brothers, only without the family relation and circus skills. I don't understand how they ended up in the academy and why. Half the city is full of people like them—take Grek or Heck for example—only these scoundrels weren't invited anywhere. If they had more sense, perhaps they could be set on the right path.
Iori Valles remains a mystery, as I haven't really crossed paths with him. At first I think we only exchanged a couple of words, and even then I don't remember exactly what about. He doesn't behave provocatively in public, which is already good—it means he's better than some.
Duke Fabian seemed shady at first and didn't inspire trust, but in reality turned out to be a decent guy, albeit a bit strange. His peaceful nature can be felt in his behavior, perhaps too soft in places. He is quite clumsy, as the running competitions showed.
Flim von Kauff is capable of surpassing everyone in arrogance and brashness, even a demon and the twins. At least that's the impression it gives. The type of person with whom one contact is enough for a lifetime.
Miho Callistemon wanted to become an informal leader, as it seemed to me. He organized meetings with the newcomers, tossed around funny phrases, and even wanted to win everyone over with a magazine. His activity is commendable, although it looks clumsy.
Bao Hien Tong is a young fool, boasting tales of his adventures and supposedly wanting to fight, although he can't even hold a weapon properly in his hands. With age, perhaps he will gain some sense and settle down.
Oleg Ugrev would clearly suit Michaela as a friend, or even more. It's even strange that he is from Refitea and not from her lands. Not a very pleasant type, although at first glance he seemed quite normal.
Aorih Traba and Dinorsis Balioni are brothers, one of whom is apparently rich, and the other is not. I don't remember exactly, but I think they told something like that and also about their father. In any case, it's not so important, as I think they differ very little, except perhaps in their level of arrogance.
What a farce. Maybe it would have been better to just shoot him – otherwise, he might survive and rot in the dungeons of NAILS for the rest of his life.
