School Principal

The Principal is the administrative head of Sanada North High.

History
He became North High's principal three years in the past.

Appearance
The principal is an elderly, heavy-set man with a prominent nose and many wrinkles on his face. He has brown eyes and thick grey eyebrows. His grey hair only remains on the sides of his head, with a few stray strands on his scalp. He is seen wearing a white shirt with grey pants, a green tie and a light brown sleeveless jacket.

Personality
He comes off as helpful, since he couldn't bear to turn away students who came to him with questions. He is also not above using a white lie or two when needed, and can pull off lying near-convincingly.

High School Boys and Traditional Events
The main trio and Karasawa enter the principal's office. He asks them what the matter is, and they show him the school brochure and ask about the "70-hour fast". He secretly has zero clue, but can't bring himself to turn them away without an answer.

For this reason, he extemporizes and cooks up a story set in 1984, when the school was suffering due to a drop in enrollment. The then-principal pleaded to the council for 70 hours non-stop, and a miracle was said to have saved the school. The main trio is surprised that the event held such a deep significance, and the principal tells them they didn't really have to fast as long as they respected the reason.

Karasawa, leafing through the brochure, then points out that the school itself was established only in 1989. The others collapse on hearing this.
