Many are still confused over the decision as both were considered to be highly regarded amongst student and staff alike. A few of the remaining staff, commenting under the condition of anonymity, have stated that they feel the executive was the main target while the others were simply unfortunate casualties, caught in the crossfire for their bravery to speak out. A spokesperson for the Tachibana clan has denied such claims however stating that the dismissals were part of plan to revamp the High School in preparation for the coming year. He says the board had been deliberating for months before they came to their final decision and hadn’t simply acted on a whim as implied by alarmists. The Spokesperson assures those concerned over the recent events that the new staff members were handpicked from the best and would ensure a stable learning environment for the students. Attempts to reach the new Principal Jacques LaCroix and Vice Principal Benjamin Fairfax met with little success.</span><br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Headline:</strong> UN Delegates Due Tomorrow<br/><strong>Date:</strong> Monday, January 7, 2075<br/>Both the Core and UN have confirmed the arrival of several delegates tomorrow to the city Bijuu, where discussions on the increasing tension between Hanahoshi and Japan will begin in earnest. Queries on whether the Tokugawa were concerned over possible mentions of Hanahoshi’s weapon development were scoffed at, with one board member going so far as to say, “They can discuss it until they’re blue in the face, we’re not going to handicap our military for the sake of a foreigner’s peace of mind.” In related news, the Koga have promised to send their own troops to beef up security alongside the Tachibana for the meeting, a move that many speculate was forced upon the Clan of Scholars by the Tokugawa. A spokesperson for the Tachibana insists that there is no shame in allowing the Koga to participate but many political analysts note that there’s obviously a lack of faith in the Tachibana’s security forces. It will no doubt take the clan some time to recover from the blow to their honour. </span> <br/><br/><hr/><br/></div></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">TACHIBANA HIGH NEWS</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Headline:</strong> Hugs, Kisses and Welcomes!<br/><strong>Date:</strong> Monday, January 7, 2075<br/>I hope you’re all as ecstatic as I am to kick off this bright New Year!<br/><br/>Unfortunately, there’s little to report on (being the first day of school and all) and what little there is I’m not even allowed to report on.
