The time for Aimi and Izuru to enter the stage as members of the current student council came after the headmaster's final words. The council was composed of just three members, those being Aimi, the president, Izuru, the secretary, and a third member who was the vice-president, but wasn't currently present on the stage.

"I wish you luck in your educational journey with us in Heiwa Academy. Now I will pass the word to the student council." Headmaster Endo spoke.

Like he had done when he arrived, the headmaster bowed at his students and at his assistant Nijimura. The two then began walking back towards the backstage, crossing paths with both Aimi and Izuru. In that brief moment, Izuru shared a quick glance with the headmaster, one unnoticeable by others.

Izuru stopped in front of the wooden stand where the microphone was placed and set down the two sheets of paper he had brought with him. He briefly glanced back at Aimi, who stood some steps behind his rear left. Looking once again at the students, Izuru took a deep breath.

"Good morning to everyone and welcome to Heiwa Academy. My name is Sawada Izuru, now a second year high school student, and the current secretary of the student council. There is not much I can as secretary, and all that I could say was said already by headmaster Endo-san, so I won't take much of your time. The student council would like to thank all of the support recieved during the previous year and hope we can continue living to your expects."

As the students applauded the brief speech, Izuru bowed at them and took some steps back, giving the spotlight to Aimi, who approached the stand and set down her own papers. Unlike the either tired or happy Aimi Izuru had seen that day, the Aimi that stood before the student body was different. With the seriousness of her dark blue eyes and the nonchallant expression her face showed, she quickly gained the silence of the students there present.

"I am Hanagata Aimi, second year high school student and the student council president. At the start of the previous school year, me and my secretary set out to become the student council by winning the elections against our upperclassmen opponents, and it was thanks to you that we now stand here today as the student council of Heiwa Academy. I'd also like to take a moment to express my gratitude to headmaster Endo-sama for allowing us to skip elections this year and continue working as the student council. We will work our hardest to show that that was a decision well made. But a student council is only as good as the students that they work to support, so I hope that together, the student council and student body can continue to bring prosperity to our school. I wish you all a good school year. Thank you."

As the students applauded the president's speech, Aimi looked back at Izuru, giving him a quick a smile, to which he replied by giving her a small thumbs up and then bowing aswell.

Once the opening ceremony came to a close, the students began heading off to their respective classrooms to start their first class of the year. As for the student coucil duo, they remained on the backstage, where they took a small break. Aimi sat on a bench by herself, wiping away the small drops of sweat that formed on he forehead due to the waterfall of nerves she felt after the speech with a light blue handkerchief.

As for Izuru, he had gone off to a vending machine nearby to get two cans of cold carbonated water, which he brought over to Aimi. Taking advantage of her tired state, Izuru placed one of the cold cans on Aimi's left cheek without her noticing it.

"Eek!" Aimi shrieked as both her arms and legs kicked up from the sudden cold. She looked at Izuru from the corner of her eyes and gave him a cold glare. "Secretary Sawada-san."

"Yikes, don't go calling me that like if you still were the ice queen." Izuru chuckled and sat down by her side, placing the can he had used to surprise Aimi in the space between the two. He opened his can and took a sip. "They need to get colas in this school."

"I think colas are overrated. And I'm only becoming the ice queen because you had the brilliant idea of placing an ice cube on my face!" Aimi pouted. "You know my face is too sensitive to cold, it wasn't funny!"

"Hai, hai, whatever you say, president Hanagata." Izuru shrugged.

"You..."

"Yo, pres Hanagata! Miyuki!"

"That voice..." The student council duo muttered.

Izuru and Aimi looked at the source of the voice, which turned out to be Tate, who was running towards them full speed. He stopped his dash right in front of the two, showing them a smile shining like the sun... Which turned into a frown that made him hug one of Miyuki's legs.

"Ako-chan broke up with me again!" Tate cried.

"Hey hey, classes haven't even started and you got dumped already?" Izuru asked, lookig down on his best friend with a face that did nothing to reveal how disappointed he was. He raised his free leg and began lightly kicking Tate's shoulder to get him off his leg. "Come on, get off buddy."

"You're my best friend, Miyuki! I need your unconditional emotional support! Headpat me while saying that I deserve better and feeding me pancakes!!"

"Wow, so is that your emotional support strategy? Who would have thought that you'd be such a brother figure, Izuru?" Aimi chuckled to herself, showing the male duo a small smug.

"Oh please, that's what my mom does, not me... Just help me get him off me!"

"Alright, alright. Tate-kun, what do you use to listen to music?" Aimi asked.

"Oh, me? I use my kickass pair of RyuzuPods, pres. Those things are the toptier item when it comes to listening to some major song bangers!" Tate explained.

'An ugly strategy, but it's a small price for salvation. Genius, president Aimi.' Izuru thought and nodded.

Izuru placed his free hand on his headphones, and so did Aimi with hers. The two began looking down on the heartbroken Tate with a mix of a smirk and a smug, and with fake superiority dazzling in their dead glares.

"RyuzuPods? What a shame. Are you too uncool for headphones? How cute." Aimi mused.

"What a casual, doesn't even use headphones." Izuru chuckled villanously. "Can't even understand that Yukiko is best girl. What a loser."

"Casual."

"A casual loser."

"You two... You two are too mean!" Tate released Izuru's leg from his grasp and ran away from the pair, crying, but soon poked his head into the backstage, looking completly fine. "By the way, you guys wanna have lunch at the student coucil room today? Aunt Yu-chan packed me and Miyuki some kickass lunch today and it's best to enjoy it with friends, ain't that right?"

"Of course! We'll see you on the student council room, Tate-kun!" Aimi exclaimed.

"Don't go off eating the pancakes she packed during class, you morron!" Izuru demanded. Once he saw Tate leave for good this time, he came across a suddent realization. "We're in his class."

"Yes we are. And classes are about to start."

"But is an ideal attendance that needed for our happiness in the near future?"

"Do you want a bad start with the new homeroom teacher?"

"Hm... Well if it's the Rulling Douchebag again..." Izuru crossed his arms and rubbed his chin.

"I hear it's a female english teacher who's in her late twenties."

"You should have started with that!"
