When the majority of the school was settled in, Headmistress Knight started up her speech, a set of sheets clamped together for her to read from.  "Sakura Fubuki," she said, completely devoid of any proper Japanese accent.  Before she could begin, however, a number of boos started to resonate through the crowd.  "I chose the name because..."  As a few of the students picked up with their jeering, however, frustration and irritation sliced lines into her forehead.<br/><br/>She tossed the speech over her shoulder, looking out over the crowd.  "Yeah, I know what this is about," she responded aggressively.  "You've been hearing nasty rumors about the monsters."  Applause broke through the crowd.  "You think I picked an idiotic location to start up if there's going to be creatures running around here!"  Even more people broke in, but it only made Ms. Knight respond with even more ferocity.  "Some of you even think that I chose this place specifically because it has monsters, in order to provide an army to stop what's coming!"  Some people clapped out of reflex, but many were just stunned, not even having considered that possibility.  A few just didn't understand.<br/><br/>"Welcome to adulthood, boys and girls."  Her icy stare cut over the crowd.  "You want to leave?  Fine; pack your bags.  Good luck explaining to your next college that you left because of monsters, especially the many of you that got a free scholarship."  Although a few people tried to throw things, she was too far away on the field to get a decent shot.<br/><br/>She paused for dramatic effect before continuing.  "Now, here's another thought.  If there's monsters, and those are real, then soulblades must be real as well.  Maybe I called you all here for a purpose, not to be eaten and destroyed by these things but because we need to be able to stop them before they overtake the Earth."<br/><br/>People were already getting up to leave, filling the stadium with comments of everything of, "Just how crazy is she?" to "I never signed up for this!" and everything in between.
