After Makoto ordered an audit for the Prefect team three days ago, tensions have started escalating once more. The plans have generated conflicting reactions across the Bundestag. Prefect and Pandemonium MPs have been debating furiously about whether to pass it or not. the votings will be held tomorrow but for now, the Chairwoman invites Sensei on this fine day  for some discussion about the current state of Gehenna. she is also interested in learning more about the teacher, who is well-known across Kivotos for his endearing and generous nature.

To get ready for their meeting, Makoto brought a bottle of Spätgehinnom in her office. the wine is produced from grapes that are cultivated and is matured for a year in oak barrels. It finishes smoothly and tastes like cherries, raspberries, and spices. A classic delectable wine that is enjoyed by Pandemonium members on special occasions, a wine that Makoto chose for this occasion given her meeting with Sensei. 


She also made sure that no documents were delivered to her office so that there would be no disruption. after all, you wouldn't want a special guest to see a disorganized desk piled high with same old documents from either the Bundestag or other clubs. 

After that, Makoto straightened the portrait of herself that was proudly hanging on the wall and adjusted the items on her desk. She waited patiently, took a long breath, and then sat back in her chair, gently arranging the folds of her uniform.




Just then, the door opened and in walked a tall, broad-shouldered man wearing a white suit and a tie. Makoto stood up and bowed respectfully before him.


Makoto: Welcome, Sensei. Thank you for taking the time to visit me and discuss the matters at hand. If I'm not mistaken, this is our first official meeting, right?

Sensei: It is and Its an honor to be here. I understand you have many questions and I am quite familiar with the social and political scene in Gehenna. shall we get started?


Makoto nodded while smiling. She had at last had a formal face-to-face meeting with the appropriate person whom she had anticipated to come. both then sat down to start the meeting.


Makoto: What do you think is the biggest issue facing Gehenna internally?

Sensei: It's difficult to say. There are a lot of various issues to think about.

Makoto: I can understand, though Gehenna's culture revolves around the concepts of Freedom and Chaos, Chaos and instability has been on the rise in the Academy ever since the failed Eden Treaty. 

Sensei: It appears like the last four months have been difficult for you guys.

Makoto: It's true, many clubs called for changes to some of our strict laws, though the Council Bloc of the Bundestag enacted many of them to help combat instability.

Sensei: Huh, are your laws really that strict?

Makoto: Not so, although Prefect MPs strongly opposed our laws and demanded alternatives, but we disregarded them because we thought they might make a radical suggestion. do you mind giving me some advice?

Sensei: You can always compromise with them since the biggest challenge is finding effective solutions that work for everyone. we need to understand each other's perspectives and find a consensus in order to move forward.
