Prologue, continued.

The whole room went silent, weight of Rin’s confession hanging in the air. But not shortly erupting into murmurs and disorder. Some expressing their doubt about the President’s disappearance. Some accusing Nanagami Rin of being nothing but a liar and a fraud but just low enough to be out of her ear.

“The President…is missing…? Acting President, now isn’t the time-“

“I’ll cut to the chase- The General Student Council has lost authority because the Sanctum Tower’s top administrator has gone missing.” Rin cut off Yuuka and the rest of the background chatter. “We had been searching for a way to bypass verification, but to no avail…until now.”

“You mean you’ve found a way, Chief Officer?” Hasumi asked, to which Rin confirmed. “That is correct - Sensei here is the answer to our problems.”

The academy representatives stood still for a moment, stunned by what they just heard.
