No response.

I won't suddenly start acting like a hero after two hundred pages of another RP, but it seems like it's not that important anymore. Wipe or no wipe, after the battle, there will be a couple of players left, which is essentially the ending. Even if we sacrifice only Alex to the general, it still seems like the story will continue along the Reimi route, which is equivalent to the ending for my character.
It's a shame that this event didn't happen a quarter or so later, but I guess it's not meant to be for me to casually play in the Academy setting.

— Enough with this circus. — The new instructor, whom many may have already forgotten, reminds everyone of her presence again, appearing between Fortis and Duncan. — Sir Duncan, I don’t think His Majesty would approve of what’s happening right now. Fortis Vir, go where you belong; no one will stop you. Vale Foxtail, Barbarian Bellring — immediately return to the others; I won’t repeat myself, and the rules of fair combat will be damned! The rest of you — to your rooms. Your Majesty, — she turns to Futaba, — be reasonable and follow me.

/Actually, I think that by sacrificing Fortis's life, we could defeat him with a good chance... However, if he has a gun, the chances decrease./

Okay, let's go.

I'm getting a bit tired of managing this event. I'll catch up later if needed.

Ianira leads Futaba to the student council building, picking something up from Altino along the way. She unlocks the door with a key and removes a lock from the list of locations. Upon entering, they find themselves in a cozy hall, ascend past the second floor, see the club rooms, go higher, and enter one of the doors, which leads them to the president's office. It was a rather spacious room with large windows, dominated by white and marble decor. On a beautiful black table made of darkwood bark, there were some papers, and behind the chair, a large portrait of the king was prominently displayed. Upon seeing it, Futaba remembers that the man from her dreams looked exactly like this, except that his face lacked the sternness depicted on the canvas, and instead, emotions of love and passion prevailed. On the opposite side, the flag of Sakuramoria was displayed.
— Welcome to your office. — Ianira places her right hand over her heart. — I would like to immediately apologize for the farce that occurred earlier. Unfortunately, conducting such events is not part of Sir Duncan's portfolio, and therefore, the ceremony was less grand than His Majesty had wished. Be that as it may, the purpose of my presence at NAILS is to ensure your comfort, and it is an honor for me to be in the presence of the king's chosen one.

I'd like to hear input from Ples and Heroist at the very least (Fraga too, but he doesn't appear that often). Maybe we're silencing him if all the crossbows and pistols trigger at once and he has nothing up his sleeve, or it will just be a regular wipe against the guard. If I engage, he'll one-shot me even with a dodge, the others, 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 in case of a loss.
I don't know about others, but I don't want to rage quit on the first crappy minion. We barely managed to get out of that mess.

It's a late response, but I think there were chances to win, although I can't say they were that great. And for half of the characters, it wouldn't be very in character. For example, I wouldn't have gotten involved in something like that as Leyla. I would have rather joined the people trying to talk him out of it, if I hadn't been busy all day.

- But for me, it's not, - the "chosen one" accusingly pointed her finger at the foreigner. - It looks more like a group of bloodthirsty psychopaths took control of the school and held all its students hostage. Moreover, one of you personally killed two students, and three more are presumably being held captive, and Rishe knows what is happening in the hall with the remaining students.
Futaba grabs an inkwell from the table and smashes it against the wall, which is decorated with the flag of Sakuramoria.

"— It is what it is." Ianira did not confirm or deny Futaba's accusations and maintained a calm tone of voice. "However, my advice to you is this: instead of being shaken by what has happened, it would be better to cast your gaze toward the future and base your decisions on the conditions and resources available at present. This academy and all its students are now at your disposal, but naturally, there are certain limitations to your authority. For example, changing the curriculum or deliberately undermining the academy's reputation in the eyes of society is not permitted, nor is the voluntary removal of students from the rolls."

- I won't budge from here until I hear an explanation for everything that's happening, including what happened in April and what's going to happen in the near future, and it better be a convincing explanation, - sweeping the papers off the table, Futa sits down on the table, crossing his arms, putting one leg over the other, and aggressively tapping his bicep with his finger.

Ianira picks up a book with the title "Theory of Miracles, Imas K." on the cover, quickly scans a few pages, and then turns her attention back to Futabe. It's good that the teacher thought to buy this book and save other students the trouble!
— I must admit, lacking magical abilities and a deep understanding of arcane sciences, my comprehension of Carvia Imas's plan is quite limited, but I will still try to convey its goals to the best of my humble abilities. As far as I know, in our world, curses represent a manifestation of negative energy, that is, the negative emotions of a person... Their fears, envy, hatred, and so on. As a rule, they are purely negative in nature. — She paused, trying to come up with an example. — Let's say one of your classmates starts to envy your new status and the king's affection, she will start cursing you in every way, wishing you harm, poking out your eyes in your photos, and so on. Usually, this won't lead to anything, but with certain knowledge and talents, or specific items, it could lead to you getting sick, losing your beauty, or even ending up straight in the Abyss. Do you understand this point?

"Sounds like the prejudiced opinions of some backwater villagers," Futaba was about to retort, but the proof to the contrary was emblazoned on her body at that very moment.

Leila knew that the personalities in her class were... interesting, but she didn't expect such a lack of foresight. It seemed that the instinct for self-preservation was a universal thing, but apparently not. Why provoke a fight with someone stronger than you? Are they insane? Okay, maybe together they could defeat General Mandrake, but there would definitely be casualties. And for what? So that Duncan could quickly find a replacement, and they themselves would be executed? All that remained was to be glad for Ixora's intervention and their new "babysitter." But even in such a case, disciplinary measures would clearly be necessary.

Although Varya didn't fully trust her new classmate, she couldn't help but notice how skillfully and decisively her compatriot had defused the dangerous situation. Whether Duncan would have died today or not, they would have definitely lost Fortis under the current circumstances, but now they would actually have time to prepare for a full-scale conflict. Not to mention that Ianira finally showed everyone, after all these months at school, what a teacher's authority should look like.
If she was an opponent in all of this, then... she was an opponent worthy of respect.
Varya regained her composure, as if nothing had happened, and returned to the ranks of the students, ignoring any sidelong glances. She had nothing to be ashamed of today, as she had fulfilled her duty twice, first to Futaba and then to Fortis.

"Well, Carvia Imas developed the theory of wonders, specifically the mechanism for converting positive emotions into energy to accomplish tasks that are impossible to achieve through ordinary means. Unfortunately, this type of energy did not align with the intended goals, so it was decided to mix it with negative energy, resulting in neutral energy suitable for a wide range of potential applications. Currently, equipment that collects this energy is located on the academy grounds. Why here? The answer is simple: people your age experience their emotions most intensely, and the most effective way to collect energy is through strong emotions and sharp fluctuations in psychological and emotional state. For example, winning competitions generates a lot of positive energy, while losing generates negative energy. I believe that today's ceremony also fits this formula well. As for April... It all started when Laurence Hatiora suspected something was amiss and began investigating Carvia Imas, which led the sorceress to decide to eliminate her and, at the same time, test how events involving Ignatius and Dion would affect the efficiency of the equipment. As it turned out, this initially led to a colossal surge of negative energy, but the subsequent feeling of relief stabilized the overall moral atmosphere. In any case, Carvia Imas acted alone, although it is true that at that time, we did not want to allow the plan to be revealed in order not to disrupt the experiment. To be honest, none of you were supposed to find out about any of this, but... you have become very likeable to His Majesty..."
