The entrance ceremony ended without a hitch.
Well, I can't really imagine an entrance ceremony going wrong, but anyway, we listened to the principal's inspiring speech, the school song played, and we received warm applause from the parents. After that, we lined up again as 1st graders and left the gymnasium.
Once back in the classroom, we listened to the teacher's talk, and then the parents trickled in from the gymnasium, turning it into something like an open house. The teacher spoke to the parents, and once that was done, we were dismissed.
I found myself a bit underwhelmed, wondering if entrance ceremonies were always this brief... Then I remembered that it was probably because this was my second time going through one.
"Itsuki, congratulations."
"Thanks, Dad."
