It's morning at the boarding school, and the students are getting ready to go on their first class trip to the west. They're all excited about the idea, but they don't know how they're going to do it. They need to find a place to stay for 300 days, find a ship to take them there, and get approval from the house masters and house mistresses before they can go. They also need to get 150 signatures to go with the trip.
