Chapter 150 Student Council Presiden (1/2)

Principal Godric stood at the podium, grinning away.

”Welcome! Welcome to the new students of Sakura Academy and welcome back, old students of Sakura Academy!”

All the returning students cheered, completely shocking all the new students. Shocked, because they've always been taught to keep quiet when the teacher is talking. In this case, when the Principal is giving a speech. Seen and not heard.

They looked at the principal, only to find that not only was he not angry, he was also looking happier. He gleefully rubbed his hands together then finally put them out, palms up and then waving them down.

Everyone settled down quietly.

”It's great to have people actually wanting to come to school!” Principal Godric said and everyone shouted in happiness again.

”Or is it because you just wanted to see Kyle again?” he teased and people laughed though no one could really refute that either.

Eyes darted over to look at Kyle, who was sitting on a chair on the stage, next to Beatrice. A lot of girls just sighed hearts in their eyes. Kyle looked at all of them and flashed his Million-Dollar Watt Smile, hitting more people right where they were vulnerable.

Just two months and one could already see a difference in him. Wasn't his nose sharper? His eyebrows more elegant? His lips fuller? Well, not really but all sorts of nonsense went through their minds as they could finally see the person rather than just looking at a picture. It wasn't the same.

”Ah, I'm kidding,” Principal Godric said, waving his hand in front of his face, ”This school is full of awesome students, bringing this school even higher than before.”

Principal Godric then went on to give the results of the last major examinations, which revealed that more students got good scores and were accepted into good places of higher education. He then went on to give a list of those who achieved great things during the holidays.

It wasn't limited to academic achievements, but for anything that had been done. Ranging from winning national contests or social activities such as fundraising.

Of course, Kyle was saved for last.

”And last but certainly not least, we have our own Student Council President, Kyle Smith.”

The whole Hall erupted into whooop whooop and claps.

”Yes, yes, that Kyle Smith,” Principal Godric said with a smile, ”I won't really go into details as his head is big enough ...”

People laughed and booed at him when Principal Godric put up his hands, ”Actually, it was Kyle himself that asked me not to. I'm merely respecting his wishes.”

Then as if saying a secret as he looked left and right, then whispering into the microphone, ”But you can check out his Insta account for all his achievements. His sister lists them out very well.”

”I'm not allowed to talk about him, but he can't stop his sister now, can he?” Principal Godric said with glee then he added, ”The photos are a bonus, I believe.”

Kyle groaned and shook his head while rolling his eyes.

Principal Godric was getting to be more mischievous, it seems. He had NEVER met such a principal before in his life. One who talked TO his students rather than at them. The former was him treating his students as one who was at his level and a friend while the other would have this barrier that could not be crossed.

People respected him and his position, but he never talked down to people nor demanded people to bow down to him (figuratively speaking, of course). Principal Godric believed that he is there as a guide and he can't guide if people don't feel comfortable enough to approach him.

After that, Principal Godric introduced all the teachers and what they were teaching. He explained about the different systems in some classes and how it was being taught. He was pleased to see how everyone was paying close attention and not playing with their phones or talking to each other.

It was a very good sign.

What he didn't know was that part of the reason for that attentiveness was because they wanted to give a good impression on Kyle. He was constantly just looking at all of them, smiling and even waving occasionally to some people that caught his eye.

”Alright. Without further ado, I hand it over to our Student Council President,” Principal Godric said as he gestured for Kyle to come.

This was the way Principal Godric would have his first day Assembly Speech.

A welcome speech, then 'catching up' speech (that is, telling the students of the current - and just graduated - student's achievements) and finally, the Student Council President would give a talk about the student activities for the year.

Kyle got up, and went to the podium amidst the loud applause of welcome.

”Thank you, thank you very much,” Kyle said, imitating a particularly well known singer, E.P., who had long passed.
