Mai: Ugh! I can't believe it! What's Suzushiro's problem, anyway? Acting like she's more important than everyone! It's nauseating!
Yuuichii: The Executive Committee officers are on edge with all the strange stuff going on. I can't say I blame them, either.
Mai: She's only a student, though, right?
Yuuichi: Yeah, but at Fuka Academy, the student council is responsible for governing the discipline of the other pupils (Mai sighs) It's part of the academy's slogan— it's a school run by the students for the students.

"Welcome to the Student Council," Maria greeted the six, who were standing before the President's desk, around the table that last year had mostly been used by Lady Claes. "You have been chosen because you are the six ranked highest in the evaluation tests. To be chosen for the student council is considered an honor, a privilege and a point of prestige."
The six of them stood straighter as pride stiffened their spines.
"That is a terrible lie," Maria continued. "You have been sentenced to two years of suffering because you are the most capable of having your workload doubled without it significantly affecting your academic output."
All six blinked at her. Prince Alan started laughing. His brother had turned away, but the way the blond shook was unmistakable mirth.
"You likely rejoiced when you saw your names highest above all," Maria said. "but know there is no reason to delight, for you have fallen into the blackest gulch of the Bed of Chaos, and there will be no escape, no reprieve, no Chosen Lord of the Hallowed to paint a new world for you to escape to. As your President, I welcome you to damnation. Know that blood you spill will be used to paint a new tomorrow."
So saying, she stood and bowed.
At their desks to either side, the other members of the student council were ironically applauding, even Lady Hunt.
"Beautiful," Sophia sniffed, spreading her hands in the ancient gesture of confusion and mockery at the new students.
"A much more honest welcoming speech than we got, Miss President," the third prince said dryly.

Clare (Luna): We have a lot of perks, you know: power, prestige, beautiful women, connections with the military industrial complex, nobility... royalty. Or if that's not quite your thing, we have plenty of cookies and after hours access to the indoor bathhouse.
Nathan (Naoto): Sounds like a secret society more than a student government.

Hana: (texting Koume) The Student Council President has complete discretion to apply any and all punishments that she sees fit save only expulsion. If she wishes to expel another student, she must make a formal recommendation that is then countersigned by the principal.
Koume: (thinking) I'm surprised they even have a principal at this rate. At least he does have some power still, though.
Hana: (continues) Traditionally, the principal's approval is a mere automatic formality.
Koume: (thinking) Never mind.

Boscha: Welcome to New Hexside! Home to the future of the Isles and stuff!
Luz: What the heck is going on here?
Amity: Yeah, Hexside doesn't even have a student council! I would know, I kept trying to organize one, but [Principal] Bump thought I was too "obsessed", and...
