There is no need for thanks. I am merely doing what I can to help Lady Euphemia's idea succeed. [Might be just a little envious of how easily Ribbons can call her Princess; perhaps even protective of the term, but it barely shows in his expression.] I, personally, believe that once it is officially established, the Student Council shall be the focal point for all the students. [So they need not look up at him for anything beyond guidance.]
That had best happen, for it is a travesty that such an otherwise varied curriculum should suffer a lack of proper sciences, beyond chemistry (alchemy) and astronomy.
