It seems like with "Pururuta and Furfura," I have enough points for level 9 Pestilence, considering all the discounts. I'm learning. And I'm also allocating free experience to the Rishi's magic ability. The medal is equipped for willpower.
"And when and if we defeat Duncan, will Thyme destroy us, having made no promises to anyone and acting according to his own judgment? Wonderful. But if we somehow succeed... If we somehow succeed, then we will eliminate one of the main representatives of the enemy forces in advance. It's worth it."
-- Well, -- Varya slowly rises from her seat. Her calm aura slowly transforms into that of an assassin. -- I am grateful for the opportunity to prove myself. Although, there are so few of us here today. One class, our new mentor is my countrywoman, and Refitea is the homeland of brave people. So, let's go, be bolder! We need to show our worth to her.
-- The rest of you... Aren't you ashamed to refuse the challenge? Regardless of how you feel about Sir Duncan or our president Futabe (who, as you have seen, has done a great deal for us), do you think you can simply sit out a real war and that it won't affect you in any way? We were told directly that they would be happy to fight us, they gave us an advantage – as much as they could possibly give – and what?
-- If we try our best and win, then this will be the last and most valuable lesson that "teacher" Mandragora will give us. But whoever wants to skip it will never become a worthy person.
Then she addresses some students individually.
-- Michaella. Teacher Mandragora violated the law, but it turned out that now the law allows us to punish the criminal. Are you with me?
-- Fortis. You're a stubborn fool. But if any of us lose their life now, I'm still glad I studied with you.
-- Oleg. I can't ask you to fulfill your duty, since you only recently joined us, but... -- Varya didn't finish. -- In any case, thank you for everything.
-- Shea. Once, you said that you stood up for an innocent person and won. Isn't it time to repeat that feat? Although you are also a foreigner, and I can't demand it.

– You can change your mind on the fly...
“If this were truly a war, I would fear such allies more than any enemy,” Fortis finished thinking to himself. It’s like a monologue in a theater, and the stage is set. All that’s left is for someone to be killed and the curtain to fall to thunderous applause.

"You are so shameless, Barbara Bellring," Ixora rises from her seat again, her gaze cold, her eyebrows furrowed. "And aren't you ashamed to coerce those who don't want to into fighting and possible death? If they wanted to, they would have responded without your emotional manipulation. And you, Fortis Vir, once said that you don't want to drag the entire stream down with you, but it turns out that's exactly what you're doing. When your companions just want to finish this ceremony quickly and leave this hall, you attract attention to yourself with all your being, like a stubborn teenager, thereby negating the sacrifices made by others. Is it really so difficult to say a few kind words to your classmate that you are willing to risk everyone else and trample on their desires?"
"Uh, hmm..." Miho scratches the back of his head and looks at the others. "Well, there is some truth to what she's saying... Maybe we can do it another time, in another place?"
After a brief silence, Vita, Renn, Neomaris, and Dinorsis leave the stage, following Miho.

Ugh, do I have negative diplomacy or something? (((

-- Here are all the free people. Well, they could, in theory, be free people. I made my choice. You make yours. Well, General... Let the battle begin!
Fortis makes a clumsy salute with a trembling hand and rushes into the attack.

Once the overall picture became clear in his mind, Vailis took the floor. - So, are you responsible for the deaths of Ignatius and Dion? And possibly others, considering the departures of some students who were upset by these events, as well as the teachers, - he suggested, imagining something terrible and thinking about Laurence; the young man tensed up, and his heart filled with bitterness and a burning flame of anger. - It's clear why they didn't raise a fuss; there simply couldn't have been one. - Don't you understand that you will be next? - Vail addressed the students. - They killed our comrades, and then they will come after us, and there is only one chance to avoid this, and at the same time take revenge, - the young man takes out a crossbow and shoots the old man. (approaching the required distance) if you can't shoot, then I'll just join the fight like the others.

/ Can we wait for the reaction of other players who are still here? /

In the midst of the unfolding chaos, I happen to find myself near the old man’s abandoned equipment and check its stats.

Trying to examine Duncan's equipment, Futaba meets Thyme's gaze, who tells her that she shouldn't do that. "Even though the general is a little out of sorts after the recent events, and you have every reason to feel a variety of negative emotions towards him, he is still a warrior, and therefore his personal belongings should not be the subject of others' curiosity. Instead," he shifts his gaze to the battle, "don't you think this is all pointless? With this group, the general cannot defeat them, and even if he does, what's the point? They can't even defend their honor now. Let them live and train, and then we'll see what path life leads them down." Unlike Duncan, Thyme seemed to treat Futaba's status with less seriousness. "If you want to save their lives, then Altino Tit," he says, looking at her with a certain meaning, "is the one who can help you with that. But keep in mind that I cannot guarantee that you will receive gratitude from your classmates."

I'd like to hear input from Ples and Heroist at the very least (Fraga too, but he doesn't appear as often). Maybe we're silencing him if all the crossbows and pistols trigger at once and he has nothing up his sleeve, or it'll just be a regular wipe against the guard. If I get close, he'll one-shot me even with a dodge, the rest, I don't know. I also don't know how much dodge he has; one hit doesn't tell us anything.
The event with the battle was supposed to allow everyone who was unhappy to save face and give the old guy a beating, but without the NPCs freaking out, it's harder now. I'm not sure if it will be possible to avoid being chopped to pieces by this idiot if we lose.
I don't know about you, but I don't want to rage quit on the first crappy minion. We barely managed to get out of that mess.

Let me enjoy the game in peace; I have to go back to the battlefield in a week or two and wipe my progress again if everything is fine.

/And did you even ask us, Alex? Now I can't back down just because of role-playing, because it would be difficult for me to stand by and watch your character get beaten up./
/And in general, yes, Gideon will probably participate, at least if nothing changes. We should wait and see./
Varya found it unpleasant to watch the betrayal of yesterday's fighters, and for what reason? Well, nothing can be done about it.
-- You're wrong, Ixora. Sometimes, all it takes is a drop of courage... That's exactly how much I could give, there was no way to do more.
-- As for Fortis, he acted foolishly, I don't deny it, but he's from my squad, -- she stated firmly. -- And my family. That's what I was talking about in my speech. I would stand up for any of you, just like I stood up for him, even if it's not wise. You can't watch your friend being killed by the enemy, that's obvious. However, that's just my opinion, and I'm not imposing it on anyone.
/Unless Fortis backs down, Varya will fight./

RP is definitely a thing... I actually thought that only Frag would be involved, because Heroist and Ples are roleplaying as rationalists, and Varya has already seemingly submitted and is fine with it. And the NPCs were defeated. Well, here's the female logic at the level of Ixora, where it's okay to kill a friend for no reason, but it's not okay to put the boss in their place – it's better to lick their boots, a very independent approach.
As for me, I need to die in the RP anyway, not just to pick "courage" as a skill.

“You are not only cynical, but also insane, Barbarian Bellring,” Ixora replied again. “You are willing to stand up for a member of your family because they lack the courage and intelligence to resolve the situation with a few words, but at the same time, you call for the blood of those ‘family members’ who do not want this, using details from their past, which they shared with you in friendship, their sense of duty, and justice, for these purposes? The people before us are the law, you brazen hussy! Stop wagging your forked tongue, or I will cut it off myself!”
