The Cedar Palace or what more popularly known as The Homura House was opened to selected members of the public for the first time. Because of the rare occurrence, and once in a lifetime opportunity for most, accompanying the eighty students belonging to the two graduating classes on their trip were their respective homeroom advisers, and the school staff officials lead by the principal.
All in all, there were a hundred people. All of them were impeccably dressed, with the students wearing their best uniform saved for their graduation ceremony, and the staff, their best business attire.
The group was welcomed by a line of traditionally garbed servants and attendants. As soon as they alighted from their shuttle service, and stepped into the inner court, they were all entranced – not to say intimidated by the aesthetic of the humongous property.
Who wouldn't?
