[hr][right]Hinotori High School Kyoto Prefecture [sub]APRIL 9TH, 2018 SUNNY DAY[/sub][/right][hr][indent] The first day of school was often an eagerly anticipated one--the start of the new school year was always exciting and full of opportunity. While it was seen as a chore for some and nothing new for the staff that remained the same while the students were the ones that constantly changed, it was hard to miss the excitement. The train stations were abundant with students dressed in their uniforms, crossing from all over the prefecture to make sure they weren’t late on their first day. That said, there was an underlying tension bubbling underneath the cheerfulness. A few spats had popped up on school grounds from the returning students; while it wasn’t strange to see teenagers get into arguments, it was the speed at which they aggravated one another. Of course, it extended to the staff as well--Wada-sensei was already notorious for his grumpy attitude, but even he seemed to have less patience than usual. Fortunately, the anticipation remained. What awaited those who had received their contracts?[/indent][hr]
