[center][i]April 14th, 20XX[/i] [b]Hishikawa Emi[/b] [i]High School Auditorium, Center Stage[/i][/center] On this day, the entirety of the first-year class of a certain high school had been gathered in the school auditorium. Those present demonstrated a varied mix of emotions: an invested sort of firmness, a coffee-induced bright-eyedness, a decisive boredom, a closed-eye look in sharp protest of the normati-...wait, no, that guy's just sleeping. [i]8:29:58 8:29:59 8:30:00[/i] The instant that the clock struck 8:30, a figure stepped out onto the auditorium stage. Donning the utterly illogical uniform that served as a sign of one's magical aptitude, the depth by which one has surpassed humanity, she appeared. And it was in that same instant... -The captive audience of first-years erupted in a raucous cacophony. [i]"Emi-samaaaaa!" "I'm overflowing!" "We love you, Hishikawa-sama!" "Be my onee-chan!" "Step on my face and call me a dog!"[/i] A light tap on the microphone by the girl who stood on stage silenced the crowd immediately. Smiling serenely, the student council president looked out over the gathered students. "Good morning, everyone. It's wonderful to see all of you here today; I thank you all for being able to make it." She stated airily. "I, Hishikawa Emi, am proud to stand here before you as your student council president. For those of you who are wondering why you have been called here, it is for the purpose of the school's promotion of a cooperation program with the middle school. As of late, our district's middle school has run into some trouble with the sheer amount of new clubs being made. Put simply, we don't have enough faculty on-hand to keep up with the demands." "As such, the high school has agreed to open up the option for high school students to volunteer as sponsors for middle school clubs, if they so desire. A list of clubs that need sponsors is on the bulletin board outside of the guidance office, so please consider volunteering your time!" After a brief intersperse of murmuring among the students, Emi continued on, her expression becoming somewhat grim. "Now, I am sorry to say that there is also an issue I would like to address. Even though we have only recently begun the school year, reports have already trickled in of various wrongdoing groups cropping up in our school district. I wish for you to know that this sort of blatant disregard for school regulations will not be tolerated, regardless of who chooses to exercise them. The groups responsible have generally been spearheaded by those with high magical aptitude." "If you are approached by such a group, do not allow yourself to be intimidated and fall in with them. I, as student council president, will work tirelessly to keep the peace of the school, and prevent undue harm from coming to our student populace." And so, the door opened on a new era of cooperation between the high school and the middle school. Oh, yes. Cooperation.
