The next day, the vice president of the student council tries to convince the president to stay on, but the president refuses to listen to him. The vice president tells the president that he will be expelled from the school if he does not comply with the teacher's orders. The student council president tells him that the student body is not supposed to blindly obey teachers' orders, but rather, it is supposed to stand for the students' interests and make the best decisions. He says that the teachers are not accepting of this, but that it is important for the elders to respect the desires of the people they govern. The president agrees with him, saying that the students are already mature enough to make their own decisions about how they want to live their lives.
