It was the morning after, and the students of Shizi High were gathered for a flag ceremony.
They sang the national anthem, recited the pledge, and did a morning exercise.
The students half-heartedly participated in all three activities, wanting to go back to their classroom to escape the morning sun and the chilly wind.
However, their principal took the podium, making most of them groan in impatience.
Nonetheless, the principal seemed to be in a good mood.
"Good morning, students!" he exclaimed.
He was met with some excited greetings, but most of them were grumbles.
"Well, I can sense your energy," he chuckled.
"Do not fret," the principal continued. "This won't be long. I am just here to present you the winners of the Cultural Festival!"
With his announcement, the student body finally came alive.
They couldn't care less about their principal, but they were all looking forward to the announcement of the winners!
