[Before Shinta posts on the network people may notice the NEW KID on a mission to pick up litter around the school. Yes, there are people who get paid for that, but if he's gonna be a cool guy then he's gotta do cool things. ...Being nice and picking up other people's trash is cool to him, and probably him alone.

At some point during the day he starts raking leaves, and maybe he whistles an obnoxious J-pop tune while he does. Please do not approach him if you don't like overenthusiastic weirdos, because he will try to convince you to join him. Come on, man, do it, the satisfaction of a job well done is reward enough, right?]

Hello! My name is Shinta Kikuchi, and I look forward to meeting you all.

[He bows at the computer, for he is a Gentleman (in theory) and Gentlemen are always polite. Bowing is polite, right?]

I think here is as good a place as any to ask: I'm a little late for the start of the new year, are there any classes that still have space available? This looks like a big school, and I didn't think I'd arrive so late. There must be a lot that are full. I'd like to keep the arts classes to a minimum, please...

[His eyes drift away from the webcam for a moment and then he suddenly snaps back towards it, like he suddenly remembers something.]

Does the bear always serve lunch? That's amazing! It must have took years to train him to do that. He's very well-behaved, too. Whoever trained him, congratulations! You've done an excellent job.

[To put it nicely, Hajime's school spirit is at a minimum. But that's no reason not to show his support for his fellow students, is it? The state of this school hardly falls on any of them. For their sake, he's going to give the most spirited pep talk he can muster on camera!

Wow, look at that, he even hung up a huge banner behind him. Did he make that himse—of course he did, look, don't stare too hard at it, please don't mention the smeared paint and ugly colors, he put his all into it, okay, and it's hanging straight which is all you can really ask for, right?]

Smash Academy! We're well into another semester at this school! I assume you're all beginning to settle in to a new schedule with our new classes. Do your best!

[The best you can, in this school. Truly, he hopes you survive. More importantly, though:]

Beyond academics, however, fall means that the sports seasons are starting anew! Let's all remember to show the Flaming Hobos our greatest support! YOU CAN DO IT, TEAM! GIVE IT ALL YOU'VE GOT HOORAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

As an extra reminder to all students, the cheer squad is always accepting new recruits. Show your passion for your peers, unleash your inner spirit for all the world to see! HRRAAH!
