“Today, we celebrate the achievents of the students who have persevered for the past eight years. They have studied, learned, and improved themselves, not just as alchemists, but also as well-rounded learners. They have expanded their understanding of the world, and in doing so, have reached a new step in their lives. First of all, I would like to applaud them for their efforts. It isn’t easy to persevere for eight years and grow.” The headmaster clapped for us a few tis, and after an awkward pause, the parents started to join in. The headmaster let it continue for a few monts, before he resud his speech.
“From here, the paths these children take will be different. So will attend a university, and so will join the workforce. So may even take a completely different path. Regardless, we should be proud of their unwavering efforts…” the headmaster of the academy said.
The headmaster had only been speaking for a few minutes, but I already found myself zoning out.
I usually didn’t have too much trouble paying attention in class, but the headmaster’s speeches had a powerful soporific effect. And unlike Mr. Delmont’s classes, the headmaster’s speeches usually contained zero aningful content. It was fancy sounding fluff. While so of the parents in the audience looked like they were eating it up, it wasn’t my thing.
I felt my eyelids grow heavier, and I felt myself process less and less information...
