Student Council

In all of the Magic Academies, there exists a **student council** (生徒会, *Seitokai*?), a governing body made by the students, of the students, and for the students. It is a largely autonomous organization and almost always carries more 'political power' than the faculty and staff of their respective schools; all major decisions are passed through the student council with no exceptions.

## Overview

Each institution has its own set of rules but there are several traits that all student councils share, no matter the institution. It is a governing body composed entirely of students that carries more authority than even the faculty themselves. They are second only to the Headmaster of the institution in terms of the power they wield and not even the faculty can refute their decisions. As a result, it is the job of the student council to carry out most, if not all, of the important decisions related to the school. All of the decisions made by the student council are final and can only be overturned by challenging and winning a protracted duel which is officially overseen by the Duelling Committee whose members are specifically hand-picked by the student council from the Disciplinary Committee, a separate student-run organization whose purpose is to uphold public morals within the school (while the student council does this as well, it is the disciplinary committee that handles most of the duties).

## Organization

### Student Council President

It is not an exaggeration to say that the **Student Council President** (生徒会長, *Seito Kaichō*?) holds ultimate power within their respective institution. They are the leader of the student council and hold absolute authority over all decisions made within the council. The student council president is usually of fifth-year and above although this may change depending on who exactly the president designates as their successor; exceptions may also happen if a younger student shows extreme skill, power, and leadership abilities as well as having a well-known lineage. The student council president is also usually the highest-ranking student in the school according to its *Onoma Charta*.

### Student Council Vice-President

If and when the Student Council President is absent, their right hand, the Student Council Vice-President (生徒会副会長, *Seito-kai Fuku Kaichō*?) takes the reins. Their main duties is to assist the President in their duties as well as keep the President in check so as they do not abuse the absolute authority the title of "President" grants them. If, for whatever reason, the Student Council President abuses their power, it is the duty of the Student Council Vice-President to not only discipline them but to remove them from their seat of power; in cases like this, the Vice-President would usually take over as the new President with the most senior Secretary serving as the new Vice-President.

### Student Council Secretary

The title of **Student Council Secretary** (生徒会書記, *Seito-kai Shoki*?) is given to one to four, depending on the inner workings of the student government. It is a title that denotes that a person is third-in-command in the student council and it is also the first title in which one takes a **Page** (傍付き, *Sobazuki*?), someone who follows their mentor and assists them in their duties in order to raise them to become future secretaries themselves. It is the job of the secretary to act as the first barrier to the President with the secretary dealing with any issues they possibly can themselves and only bringing up the matter to the Vice-President (and eventually, the President, if need be) when the secretary is unable to fulfill the request. Nevertheless, should the Vice-President need to depose the incumbent President and take their place, the Secretary with the most senior rank automatically ascends to become the new Vice-President, as stated previously.
