Ushumgallu weighed the bag of rems in his hand. Light... So, either hang a portrait or visit the Temple of Nanaya a dozen times – it’s money, but definitely not wealth. “Thank you. Noted.” The next morning begins again with a trip to the university – but this time with a pleasant weight in his pocket and an even more pleasant thought that this is the last lecture on the utterly tiresome tactics.

- You're more like a sand dog than a sand wolf. - Zumi commented on what she saw. - I've seen dogs do the same thing.
- I was thinking of keeping this trophy... As a memento... But then I decided that it's just... Not very appropriate, I guess...
- If you want, I'll give you mine.
- No... Thanks, but I'll manage...
- Haha! Seriously! No, this isn't for a "rainy day," but for the benefit of Asuguh, - he turns to Hisoka. - So, imagine you end up at some kind of customs, or even just by carelessness or accident, it comes to light and falls under someone else's gaze. And they'll think you're some kind of weirdo, and unnecessary questions will arise, which will ultimately lead to a breach of secrecy. So, you always have to think about these things in advance. Rely on Shiris, but don't be careless yourself. As I said to someone a couple of days ago, - he points his fingers like guns and nods, conveying unwavering confidence in this matter.

- We're recording this to get used to detailed reports. - The Sensei ignored the spectacle. - In our business, any information can be useful.
- It will be done to the best of my ability, sir, - the neophyte smartly salutes the empty space.

If only he had a diary that gave experience for making such entries, and he could take out two traitors of Asuguh with one shot - Gen might have thought, if he knew about something like that. But he didn't know, so he just says to his buddies:
- Well, let's go to the city, and then everyone goes their own way, - he gestures with a nod and a wave of his hand. - Have you guys come up with a story about joining the "non-guild"?

- Yes! But most importantly, enjoy the process, because that's the heart of any collecting.
—Perhaps you're right. About collecting... —looking closely at the saleswoman's name tag, he recognizes vaguely familiar initials. —Excuse me for asking, but have you perhaps met someone named Inak from Onkaiha?

The instructor for the final part of the tactical course was a man named Roik Aizett; in the past, he was the ruler of Nanleb – one of the cities of the Haranian Empire, but he left his homeland due to ideological disagreements with the other leaders of the country, thereby leaving behind untold wealth and influence.
- ... Unlike the undead, people, especially those who are free, cannot blindly follow the orders of their commanders while maintaining high efficiency in their actions and decision-making, so maintaining high morale is essential; anyone who takes on the command of others must understand this, whether you are the general of a huge army or the captain of a pirate ship.
- ... It is important to know and understand who you are leading, otherwise you will face desertion or mutiny.
- ... When the enemy asks you to stop, it is the best time to intensify the attack.
- ... Brute force is better than any tactic; it is what inspires confidence in allies and instills fear in enemies.
- ... Threats are worthless if you don't prove your willingness to carry them out.
- ... The fact that you are a leader should be visible in your eyes alone; otherwise, neither your subordinates nor your enemies will respect you.
- ... Any questions?

Unlike his two predecessors, the current instructor was so captivating that Ushumgall didn't even think about closing his eyes during the lecture. His instincts told him that he was hearing something important, and Reik's words were etched into his mind more firmly than a chisel on a tablet. Kingaludda probably knew all this. Perhaps Felicia knows too... There were questions – starting with how he ended up in this situation, but for starters, it would be good to ask something smarter and more specific.

-- Is it better for subordinates to know as much as possible or as little as possible? On the one hand, the less understanding, the fewer doubts; on the other hand, omissions breed distrust.

- Well, that makes sense... It's like the sensei mentioned something about physique... That it's better not to "bulk up" and have an average appearance... Otherwise, you'll attract unnecessary attention... Ah! - Hisoka suddenly remembered. - I remembered a story... There was this one spy who returned from the Haran Empire, and he was heavily affected by a curse there... His entire skin turned black, can you imagine? And because of that, he couldn't work as a spy anymore... Because he stood out from the crowd...
- There's nothing wrong with that. - Zumi decided to explain to the guys. - Well, underwear is underwear, no one will ask too many questions about it - at most, they'll giggle and that's it.

- That's... a very popular trend these days... And I... I'll just say that I'm not ready for socialization yet... Given my circumstances, those who know me will understand...

- Well, yes... It does seem like Sensei mentioned something about physique... That it's better not to "bulk up" and have an average appearance... Otherwise, you'll attract unwanted attention... Ah! - Hisoka suddenly remembered. - I recall a story... There was once a spy who returned from the Haranian Empire, and he was severely affected by a curse there... His entire skin turned black, can you imagine? And because of that, he couldn't work as a spy anymore... Because he stood out from the crowd...
- That's exactly what I'm saying! - Genza snapped his fingers, then realized and buttoned his jacket, hiding his six-pack. - It's these little things that give it away. Someone might overlook it, but a particularly observant person will notice and think about it, and then anything is possible. Even if they come up with something unrealistic, they'll pay attention, and that's already suboptimal.

- I don't know, I don't know, honey... Look. If they find it on you, then nothing, but what about us? Anything is possible. I've made it a rule for myself - would the Chief or Sensei do that? In our case, would they carry such an item in their pocket? I can't be sure, but I feel like they wouldn't, and if that's the case, then we should trust that feeling. Personally, I would definitely think about it if I were the one checking - yes, this young man certainly looks very solid and wonderful, his handsome face inspires trust and affection, and his friendliness and reasonableness fill your soul with solidarity towards him, however... what is that unusual item doing in his luggage? Yes, this guy looks like a hundred percent decent man who could have received it as a gift from his girlfriend. But what if there's another story behind it? And what other possibilities are there? You go through copies of the reports that were sent to the protector, and let's say you find an unremarkable, minor report from an overly meticulous person who is absolutely sure of their own pedantry and that they could not have lost the item, so they decided to exercise their right as a tax-paying citizen and threw a report to the police that they "lost" such an item - even if not entirely seriously, but "so that they would work out their quota." You might even remember such an order because at the moment you received and read it, it stuck in your memory because of its absurdity. As if it seems like something unlikely, right? But *sufficiently* likely for such a scenario to create problems for you. The final question is, do we need to tempt fate in this way? My answer is no. Ah! And by the way... - Genza glanced around furtively, as if someone in the desert could hear them, and added in a low voice. - This item was stolen from... a dubious place. I could imagine that its owner could track it in some special way. And I pray to Anuzish and Shiris that this thought doesn't occur to her. Probably not, but... you can never predict anything with these sorcerers. So, as you can see, - he coughed and continued. - Eee, are you sure you won't tell me what your mission was? Well, it's interesting after all. We're all in the same boat, and besides, we're from the same subclass. But if you don't want to, I won't insist. Yes, yes, no, no. If it's something delicate or secret, then no problem.

- Hmm. Maybe in our case with Akimitsu, this won't quite work... But thank you for the advice, I'll think about how to incorporate it, - Gen said and was shocked by the sophisticated word he had just remembered, gleaned from past conversations with the wise Hassan.

—Perhaps you are right. About collecting... —looking closely at the saleswoman's name tag, he recognizes vaguely familiar letters in the foreign initials. —Excuse me for asking, but have you perhaps happened to know Inak from Onkaih?
- Of course! I went to Onkaih a few months ago, and that's how we met; he's a very nice man.

Ushumgallu received 10 experience points for being the first to complete the first day. Does Erike get anything for being the first to complete the prologue? 🤔🤔

Unlike his two grandfathers, the current instructor was so captivating with his words that Ushumgall didn't even think about closing his eyes during the lecture. His gut told him that he was hearing something important, and Reik's words were etched into his brain more firmly than a chisel on a tablet. Kingaludd probably knew all this. Perhaps Felicia knows too... There were questions – starting with how he ended up in this situation, but for starters, it would be good to ask something smarter and more specific.

– They need to know exactly as much as is necessary to complete the tasks assigned to them; officers, however, must have an understanding of the role of their military unit in the overall picture of the conflict. In general, the shorter and more precise the orders, the better.

- Of course! I visited Onkaih a few months ago, and that's how we met. He's a very nice man.
—That's what it was! And now I remember, he mentioned that you're from the capital. He said the same things about you, by the way. —Realizing he had said too much in the heat of the moment, he paused slightly. —Ah... I'm learning how to fish from him, and the conversation that time was about interesting hobbies. Collecting seashells, right?

- I have a few free minutes, so yes, I can help.
Once again, Ferrous took out a pencil and quickly jotted down his questions.
- Let's start with some simple questions.
1. What do you do for a living?
2. How do you like living in the capital?
3. Do you enjoy being in the thick of things, or is there not that much news here after all?
4. Why is the newspaper called that? And the publishing house too (if it's not common knowledge).
5. How do you gather information for the newspaper?
6. How many employees do you have?
7. What are the criteria for hiring, and does membership in a guild affect this in any way?
8. What are the usual responsibilities of a new employee? Is it work in the office or helping to find information outside the office?
9. How much does it cost to publish a book or other printed material?
10. What would you recommend reading from what is available for sale?
- And yes, I also need your name," the young man added at the end.

Be strong. Believe

One person might miss it, but a particularly observant and intelligent person will notice, and then anything is possible. Even if they come up with something unrealistic, they'll still pay attention, and that's already suboptimal.
- What can I say... It's hard to be a scout... Kami is probably doing well with his specialization... He just waves his sword, and there's no need to hide... Although, maybe there are some nuances... I wonder how his training goes?...

- Actually, people don't pay taxes in Asuguh, so... But it doesn't matter. You might be right, but if so, it's a little sad, because it means that any individual trait of a person works against them, thus reducing everyone to the lowest common denominator. - Zumi sighed. - Remember my specialty, and you can figure out what my mission was. I don't want to discuss it.

The kids reach the city. It seems it's time to part ways.

I'm learning fishing from him, and that time we were just talking about interesting hobbies. Collecting shells, right?
- Yes, but not just them. I like to collect many things. For some reason, since childhood, it seemed to me that there is something fundamental about it for human existence. It may sound absurd, but owning things is still more pleasant than not owning them, and even better when they have a special meaning for you, and then even a simple stone, even if it is useless in itself, will be more valuable than a mountain of gold.

—A perfectly wise statement! —the student nodded in agreement. —With your permission, I will save it in my memory for future social interactions. Undoubtedly, such a view of hobbies and collecting can give someone the missing life inspiration. —having fixed the last phrase in his mind, he decides to add his own thought: —I think it's great when you find spiritual satisfaction in seemingly small things, from which, by the power of your mind and imagination, you build a unique, multifaceted hierarchy. I haven't had such an opportunity yet, but you should always expect changes for the better. And for now, can I have one card from each set, please? —he counts out 15 gems.
