&quot;Well, not in detail, I've spoken to a few of them once or twice, but given we're not too far into the year I haven't had the opportunity to meet a lot of people. For all I know the student council is just a nameless bunch of background silhouettes.&quot; <i>She paused for a moment, staring into seemingly nothing as she contemplated her existential reality before shrugging it off and continuing to the office.</i> &quot;Have you ever thought about joining the student council? You certainly carry yourself with enough charisma to do so!&quot;

&quot;Oh you're a lifesaver, thank you so much!&quot; <i>She scrambled to pick up the many papers, most of them seeming to be graded homework, each with a big cartoonish stamp on the top right of the page. Once she was able to regain a semblance of composure, she offered a bright smile to the first year, her voice squeaky and jovial.</i> &quot;I'm hardly one of the coolest teachers anyways, but I appreciate your concern! Hey, I haven't seen your face around very much! Not that I see first years very often. What's your name?&quot;

<i>Seeing Nanaka's icy glare practically caused her to shiver in place. Muttering a soft &quot;Scaaary&quot; under her breath.</i> &quot;Perhaps that's the source of your admirable work! You seem incredibly passionate about your flowers. Such passion can only lead to commendable masterpieces, right?&quot; <i>As she spoke, she raised her right hand, her other resting on her chest and striking a dramatic pose, even speaking in singsong to further dramatize her words.</i> &quot;As for a list of clubs, I'm sure there's a brochure by the student council office or something. I'm sure I've seen them before! But Nanaka's right! You should choose your club carefully. If you pick something you're not passionate about, it'll be nothing short of miserable!&quot; <i>Contrary to most of the rumors, Miss Sumeragi proved to be quite emotive, quite the far cry from the grizzled 'war veteran' or the brutal 'former detective' all the students had been starting rumors about.</i>

<i>Trotting into the school building came Emi Sumeragi, the famous history teacher who'd joined the school staff only just this year. Her appearance was quite striking for a school staff member, with long silver hair and a very faint scar over her left eye that, while hidden most of the time, was the fuel of dozens of rumors since her arrival on campus. On her way to the faculty office, she'd clumsily trip over herself, dropping dozens of papers and a bunch of books all over the floor. Despite her sharp gaze and somewhat intimidating appearance, Miss Sumeragi was far from scary, her ditsy tendencies getting the better of her quite often.</i><div class='edited'>(edited by Emi_Sumeragi)</div>

&quot;W-Well if you must know... I signed off to be the teacher who supervises the occult club! I've always had a bit of an interest in such things. Kind of weird for someone who's supposed to be teaching historical facts to be involved with things that have no grounding in reality huh?&quot; <i>With a chuckle, she rubbed the back of her neck, her face a little red with embarrassment.</i> &quot;But don't let that influence your decision! It's best to pick a club that suits your interests the best, whatever that may be.&quot;

<i>She couldn't help but laugh at that sly grin, waving her hand dismissively.</i> &quot;Fate? I wonder what fate would have in store for us if this was its master plan all along.&quot; <i>With a mischievous smile she leaned forward, speaking rather quietly to make sure only Tadano could hear her.</i> &quot;That's all? You know, it's a little odd to have a crush on a girl you haven't even met.&quot; <i>She let out a hearty cackle before stepping forward through the halls, beckoning Tadano to follow her.</i> &quot;Well she's a third year, so with luck she's going to be in the halls by their classrooms. Come on, let's go together! Classes don't start for a little while, now's as good a time as any!&quot;

&quot;A roleplay club? What, like a game club? Playing Snakes and Ladders or whatever?&quot; <i>She turned to Sen, muttering another &quot;Scaaaary&quot; under her breath. 'All the girls in this school could kill me with their gaze!' she thought.</i> &quot;The debate club here is renowned for their ferocity. Kosei is a school of many talents, but the debate club is like a talent among talents! Or so I've heard at least! Almost every teacher seems to tell me that about their respective clubs, I just kind of believe all of them. <i>At the mention of heroics, she tilted her head.</i> &quot;A hero? I wouldn't take you for the sort, Kubo-kun. Do you want to be a police officer someday? A detective? I can see it now! The grizzled detective Kubo, off to solve the mysterious case of a coup forming against the prime minister!!&quot;<div class='edited'>(edited by Emi_Sumeragi)</div>

&quot;That just goes to show that appearances are almost always surface level, Kubo-kun! Hell, even the principal was surprised, he told me I look like a Yakuza. Oop! I don't think I was supposed to say that!&quot; <i>She lets out another chuckle before Nanaka approached her, offering her a friendly and an informal wave.</i> &quot;Alright might be a bit generous, but I had this young man with me! In fact, I was looking for you. This is Kubo-kun, he said he wanted to meet you!&quot;

&quot;Kashinryu! So regal! But I'm amazed to see you bearing such a heavy responsibility with such enthusiasm! That's the kind of stuff all the big colleges are looking for, you know.&quot; <i>At the mention of the occult club, she seemingly jumped in place, her already strong enthusiasm seeming to skyrocket.</i> &quot;Ah yes, the occult club! It's easy to assume that a club based around such seemingly childish things would be filled with freeloaders who aren't serious about it at all, but I assure you there's a lot of lovely students who are very passionate about the subjects involved! Besides, you're all such hard-working students who are on the cusp of being released into the busy world of adults. A little distraction from it all in the form of chasing the supernatural can be a wonderful way to spend your time!&quot; <i>After her dramatic speech, she looks at her wrist watch and shrugs.</i> &quot;Yes the faculty office is right by the student council room, so if you were planning on heading there you'll have to bear with this sorry woman's presence for just a tad longer. Oh the humanity!! I'm supposed to be going to the faculty office now but who doesn't love being a little fashionably late, hm?&quot;

&quot;No offense taken! But you have the right idea. Any students who would be part of an occult club are sure to be quite the oddballs. I'm sure you'll be able to tell immediately when you meet them!&quot; <i>She grabs her own copy of the list of clubs, raising a brow and taking considerable interest.</i> &quot;Whoah woodworking? I wish I had a club like that at my high school... To think schools have changed so much in a decade. Kind of amazing when you think about it.&quot;
