— Uhm..., — Mira was a little confused by the strange question, in her opinion, and tried her best to remember, — well... sometimes they would tickle me, put insects down my collar, sting me with nettles, give me a slap on the back, and things like that... But I don't get offended, honestly...

– I think it would be a good idea for someone diplomatic, like Mana, and also Dinorsis, after all, he is his brother, to go. I am willing to act as an escort.

Basically, Varya + Dino + Mana + Leila, I didn't quite understand about the last one, yes or no. The negotiator is Mana. I confirm.

It depends on what group size is considered optimal. If four is already too many, according to the consensus, then you can proceed without me. If not, I'll join.

- Have they ever fought with anyone that you remember? Maybe they stole small change?

— We did fight, of course, but isn't that what all boys do? As for minor things... I don't remember. I don't have any.

- I see... Well, don't worry about it, I just asked out of curiosity. I can see that they are truly close friends to you. Well... - the president gathered all the relevant documents into a stack and smoothed it out, tapping it on the table. - I'll ask everyone to keep our conversation confidential; after all, it was a private interview between us. Regarding your transfer – from my perspective, you seem like a good candidate, but I need to get approval from some other people. So, we'll call you back. That is, Levisia Kaladiumovna knows where you are staying at the moment; expect a response within the week, most likely within a day or two – once we resolve all the issues.
After she leaves, the president will send a request through Neves Sipe to check if the "twins" and Mira were involved in any hooligan or criminal activities in their area. At the same time, she will check Ignatiy's background for any connection to them.

The answer arrives on the same day. Conveniently, the information she requested had already been gathered before she even became concerned about these issues.

Mira was not involved in any such activities.

Ignatius did not know any of the three before joining NAILS. He grew up in a normal, loving family. After what happened to him, Ignatius's mother drowned in a swamp, and his father shot himself.

Before joining NAILS, James and Neige were involved in robberies in Armeria; the root cause of these acts was that they did not have enough money to live on. James Vishnya grew up in a family with an idle, alcoholic father who treated his wife and son poorly, beating them, etc.; only the mother worked in the family. When he turned 14, James beat his own father and drove him away, after which he helped his mother, including taking money and food from others. Neige, in turn, is the son of an Armerian prostitute who had neither the time nor the desire to raise her son.

The only thing left to decide was which design to choose for the previously discussed committee badges and what material to order them from.

Silver.

Aorich, Jaym, and Neige were sitting on a bench in the academy's backyard, looking at the second issue of "Castle." "I wonder what's under her mask," Aorich said thoughtfully, looking at a photo of one of the king's concubines. "Maybe some kind of monster, or maybe she's actually pretty?" "I'm more interested in what's under her skirt," Neige laughed. "And she has nice legs." "You should look at these," Jaym nodded towards the top of the photo. "It would be nice if they let us touch them at the academy for good grades. Then there would be more motivation to study." "Ah, well," Neige sighed sadly. "It's good to be king... I wonder if he's already 'done the deed' with our president?" "Well, remember that circus at the ceremony," Aorich replied. "Most likely, she achieved everything through the bedroom." "Yeah... Looking at her, you'd never guess, but it's true what they say: still waters run deep."

"What a bunch of monkeys..." – that thought crossed my mind, but Varya didn't make any faces.
– Mana, can you do it? – Varya says quietly.

“Guys,” Mana approaches the trio, “do you have a minute?” The unexpected appearance of the attractive classmate in this secluded spot immediately brightened the guys’ mood. “Yeah, I think we can spare two or three,” James replies, moving closer. “Right, guys?” James and Nage approach her from either side and put their arms around her shoulders. “Do you remember the disciplinary committee?” she asks them, suppressing her own discomfort. “Vita made a proposal, and Futaba included it in her campaign.” “There was something like that, yeah. What about it? Are you inviting us?” Nage recalls. “Not exactly... It concerns Stella, Yukki, and Jin.” “Ah, I see.” Aorih frowned. “So, the committee has already been formed, and you’re one of its members? Then you can save your breath; we have nothing to say to you. Right, guys?” “Yeah…” “Guys, please, listen to me!” Mana pleaded, still standing between the two guys. “You have to understand the situation we’re all in, right?” “Exactly, we understand,” Aorih retorted. “Any day, we could be beheaded, shot, or forced to lick the boots of some floozy. Are you really going to lecture us at this stage of the game?” “No, I understand your position, but you have to understand that your behavior won’t end well, and I don’t want to see anything terrible happen to my classmates again.” “Pfft, you won’t fool us!” Aorih turned to leave. “Come on, gentlemen.” “Well, guys…” Mana looked at the guys with tearful eyes, grabbing James’s sleeve. “I don’t want anything to happen to you…” “Well, uh,” James blushed, “we don’t have any money left, so… even if we wanted to, we wouldn’t be able to pay you back.” “James!” Aorih exclaimed. “Don’t listen to her!” “Come on…” Nage replied. “You can see she has good intentions.” “You’ve already spent it all, haven’t you?” Ignoring Aorih, Mana smiled at James and Nage. “I understand; my money doesn’t last long either, haha!” “Haha,” James scratched the back of his head. “So, what are we going to do? We don’t have any money.” “Hmm…” Mana batted her eyelashes and thoughtfully put her index finger in her mouth. “If you promise not to do it again… and agree to work off your debt somehow, I think that will be the end of it.” “Heh-heh…” James’s face looked as if he were slightly tipsy. “Well… okay! But only because you’re asking, got it? Right, Nage?” “Yeah. But how are we going to work it off?” “Don’t worry; the principal and the committee will come up with something. Aorih, what about you?” She looked at him with sad eyes. “Are you against this idea?” “Of course, I’m against it! Your words are useless against me, succubus!” The guy looked at the disapproving glances of his friends and finally gave in. “Fine, whatever!” After chatting with them for a while longer, Mana leaves them alone and returns to the other members of the committee. “This is the best I could do.”

Varya looks at Manu with eyes full of respect. -- How do you do it? Of course, from my point of view, they should also apologize to those who suffered, but... In any case, good job.

— Actually, you handled it very well. I could even say that your name suits you perfectly. With my negotiation methods, I'm afraid I would focus more on the inevitability of punishment. I'm not sure what kind of result that would have, but it certainly wouldn't be the best. There's something to learn from you. Although... — Layla first mentally compared her height to Mana's, and then to the height of the trio, — ... I'm not sure that my version of such a negotiation style would have the desired effect. In any case, you've done a great job, and I think everyone present — the Taumian looked first at Dinorsis, and then at the Barbarian — is satisfied with this result. And I hope Futabu is too.

— Let’s see. Now everything is in the hands of Futaba and this trio. I hope they won’t forget their promise in five minutes.

The Levitation lesson was dedicated to stretching. According to her, before learning complex tricks and movements, it was necessary to learn how to feel comfortable in one’s own body.
