Morning AssemblyAs the piano came to a stop, the principal cleared his throat; urging everyone to settle down and listen. “Welcome students of Saitou Academy. I apologize for the delay. Last minute preparations were being made.” He was a man who stood at an average height, black haired, and looked to be around his fifties. “I am principal Takashi Saitou, and I am also the founder of this school.” He introduced. “Now before I talk about what we have prepared for all of you, I would like to show you around the school. I considered taking you around but that would take too much time, and the last thing I want would be for you to be tired.” He chuckled lightly. He was holding a remote control in one hand, and the microphone in the other. After pressing the power button, the two large screens in front sprung to life.
“For now, I’d like to familiarize you with the places. This way, you wouldn’t have to rely on maps and signs.” With another click, images started to show up on the screen. “First and foremost, I would like to show you your
dorms. Each room is big enough to have a living room and a kitchen. In this school, we not only want to teach you academic lessons, but we want to you to learn how to take care of yourselves which comes along with responsibility. In other words, all of you will have to learn how to cook your own breakfast. As for dinner, you are allowed to go to the cafeteria or you can leave the school premises and go to a restaurant of your choice. But you have to be back in the dorms before eight.” The images on the screen switched and showed a picture of a balcony that overlooked the city, “Each dorm will have a door that leads to a
balcony. Each gives you a good view of the city.”
The morning assembly went on with the principal showing images of the school. From dorms, infirmary, club rooms, classrooms, garden, library, swimming pool, cafeteria, and other places. It took approximately fifteen minutes for the the slide-show to end. As the screens were switched off, the principal stepped forward and scanned the auditorium.
“Now for the preparations.. To give all of you a warm welcome, we have prepared a fireworks show for all of you. It will start at eight this evening. You are free to watch it from your balconies, however, we will leave the door to the rooftop open in case any of you preferred to watch it there. Once again, welcome, and I hope for a good school year.”
There was a round of applause as the principal finished his speech. He got down the stage and handed the microphone over to the girl who played the piano.
Introduction - Student council presidentAs the girl got up on stage, she bowed her head before speaking, “Good morning fellow students. My name is
Hatsumi Kawamura of section C. I am the student council president, please free to approach me if you need anything. For now, please head to your classrooms and wait for your teachers to arrive. Thank you.” She bowed once more before getting off the stage and heading for her own class.
The tables are large enough for two people. Each table has two chairs. For now, you can sit freely wherever you like. The teacher will announce your seatmate arrangements later.
