[PM. Classes - April 1, Mon]
Finally the teachers reach their rooms, in 1-B, a very ordinary looking (which thing is turning quite unordinary at this point) math teacher appears and presents himself, "I'm Satoshi Yamashiro, nice to meet you all... As painful as it sounds, you won't be having any mathematics today, the higher-ups insist we go to the yard to start some "interclass activity", so arrange yourselves in nice, ordained lines, and off we go."
Meanwhile, in 1-A, a foreigner looking man enters, with long brown hair and a goatee, he has a gallant and svelte build, wearing a red velvet tuxed and a beige shirt. With a dramatic bow to the class, he presents himself: "Greetings, my young pupils! (he says in perfect English, with a curious but eloquent accent) I am Richard Yamamoto, your English and foreign literature teacher! My, it is a delight to make your acquaintances! I've already set up a nice little activity for us, with the help of the, err... What was it this time? Oh, right: the arts & culture activities coordinator... So down to the yard we go, shall we? Avante, ad astra!"
And with that, the two classes meet at the yard, where they see both teachers, the two homeroom teachers and Ruby! Now wearing a white shirt, fine blue pants, a red scarf and an oversized bonnet, a true parody what she thinks a modern French art connoisseur looks like. "Oh, my, what a pleasant view! All this young and talented folks in just one place! Ahh!" She exasperates, raising her forearm to her forehead in dramatical fashion.
Ok, young folks! Me and mister handsome here... She says, winking at the English teacher, "...Have set up a very special activity for our first days of school! A theatrical play!!" The teacher only nods as she explains it.
Gesturing to the Mathematics teacher, she hastily orders him to bring something, which she begrudging do: a moveable black board, all scribed already.
"Alright, here are the roles we're looking for:" She starts, listing the topics on the board with a rod: "First, there is the Noble Knight, who may rescue the damsel, confront the sorcerer, and deliver an absurd number of heartfelt speeches!! And of course, with his Faithful Squire at his side, to provide comic relief, assist the knight, and try (and fail) to keep them out of trouble." Going through the next role: "And of course, the Evil Sorcerer! Who wants to destroy all love! Kidnap and torment the damsel, challenge the knight, and deliver grandiose villain monologues!!"
"Then there is the Damsel in distress!! Whose purpose is to be bound tight at the mercy of the evil sorcerer/witch and to be rescued by the knight, but with plenty of melodramatic swooning and over-the-top declarations of woe." She then pauses, her cheeks burning with bliss "Oh, I could play that role perfectly!! Specially if the evil witch were a certain someone..." As the English teacher protests playfully: "Now, now... Let us let our young students shine a little bit on their own!" She pouts at his remarks, but finally nods, "There's also the Black Knight! The Noble Knight's nemesis, constantly challenging them to duels over trivial matters!"
Going now through the secondary roles, she says: "Ooh... The Sorcerer’s Henchman: A dim-witted but loyal minion who is always foiling their master’s plans by accident; The Ghost of the Tower: A comedic or tragic specter haunting the damsel, who often offers unsolicited and unhelpful advice."
"Oh, and there's also the Villager Chorus: a group of townsfolk who will narrate the play! And we could also work on a big puppet to play as the evil dragon!!"
All that exposition leaves her panting. After she recovers, she studies her students for a moment. "Alright! Now, the greatest talents among you... Oh, I know who you are, teehee! Should apply to this wonderful play!! We will do lots of rehearsals, and could even alternate roles! And then, on the next festival, we could play it on the stage for everyone to see!! And of course, we trust on our dear student's genius, so we welcome any ideas of additional roles, or modifications for the existent ones! Just come at the board and sign your names next to the roll(s) you're interested in! Oh, and you can possibly play more than one roll!!"
After she finishes explaining everything about the piece, which would occupy the students willing to participate during their English classes for some weeks, she goes through another matter. "Alright, alright... As you may have noticed, here in Youkai Academy, we have a reduced amount of class periods, and that we achieve because we love our students!! And because we're not bound to the Japanese government, being a secret school and all that..." She digresses under her breath, "That leaves you guys with lots of free time! And thus, we offer in here extra, elective courses along with the main ones. You may pick whichever you want, you may even pick all of then! They will take place on the last periods of every day, or the two las periods, on Fridays and Saturdays!"
She then points her rod to a table aside, "Whichever courses you wish to take, just sign your name below it! Oh, and also be assured that, in some days, we'll have our club activities, and you guys will also be able to pick a club for yourselves! Whoa!! Isn't this so fun?!! I miss my school days!" Mizore, who was now just next to hear, stings drily: "You never went to school..."
The options for electives were:
Fighting (self-defense)
Magics (preternatural sciences)
Youkai Studies
Arts
