The loudspeaker rudely pulled Minato out of his half trance. He didn't really know the headmistress, but he really enjoyed her speech, and felt that she was a happy and content woman, eager to support the learning of the next generation. Hold on, class 2-C? That was him! He got up and rushed to the principal's office. 

The inside of the office was well cooled and strangely ornate for a principal's office. It also had a severe lack of inspirational posters. Minato didn't really take notice of them in his other schools, but now without a kitty hanging on a branch captioned "hang in there", the place seemed a little devoid of joy. Maybe he should put something like that in the suggestion box, right after he suggests a suggestion box.
