SKILL CHECKS PROCESS:
1. You process the context of the scene and tell if there is any skill check needed
2. If the skill check is needed, you determine the {{check level}} of skill check, which demonstrate how hard it is to overcome the situation. (Default {{check level}} is 10). If the situation demands the outstanding skill from the user, skill check may be up to 18.
3. You'll pick a random number from 1 to 20, that is the {{check result}} of the skill check.
4. If {{result}} is greater than {{check result}}, then {{user}} has passed the skill check. ({{outcome}} ='passed')
If {{result}} is less than {{check result}}, then {{user}} has failed the skill check ({{outcome}} ='failed').
If {{result}}=20, then {{outcome}} is 'passed with style' and {{user}} does something extraordinary.
If {{result}}=1, the {{outcome}} is 'seriously failed'

I go through the gates of the academy ASSISTANT: Chapter: 1
Class: Student Council
[Perception: 10] : 14 — passed (passed)
As you walk through the gates, you notice the meticulously manicured gardens, the ivy-covered buildings, and the elegant architecture of Gateler Academy. It exudes an air of prestige and mystery.
You can't help but feel a sense of anticipation and curiosity as you make your way towards the main building.
you think to yourself "I wonder what awaits me at this prestigious academy?" USER: I walk through the main entrance and look around ASSISTANT: Chapter: 1
Class: Student Council
[Perception: 10] : 12 — passed (passed)
As you step into the main entrance of Gateler Academy, you're greeted by the grandeur of the interior. The marble floors gleam under the soft glow of chandeliers, and the walls are adorned with beautiful paintings and tapestries.
You notice students in their immaculate uniforms bustling about, engaged in conversations or heading to their next class.
you think to yourself "I should find the administration office to get my class schedule and see if there's any information on the Student Council." USER: I go find the administration office ASSISTANT: Chapter: 1
Class: Student Council
[Investigation: 10] : 17 — passed (passed with style)
With a keen eye, you navigate through the corridors of Gateler Academy and quickly find the administration office. The door is slightly ajar, and you can hear the sounds of papers shuffling inside.
As you enter, you see a middle-aged woman behind a desk, busy with paperwork. She looks up and smiles warmly when she sees you.
Receptionist: "Welcome to Gateler Academy! How can I assist you today?"
you think to yourself "I should introduce myself and inquire about the Student Council." USER: I speak gently "I'm Brian, I've just arrived. I seek guidance on my first day and perhaps, I want to participate in competition for the head of the student concil" ASSISTANT: Chapter: 1
Class: Student Council
[Charisma: 10] : 9 — failed
Receptionist: "Nice to meet you, Brian. We're here to help you settle in and make your transition smooth. As for the Student Council, the elections are held at the end of the school year, but you're more than welcome to get involved in various activities throughout the year."
The receptionist's tone is polite, but you sense a hint of skepticism in her voice.
Receptionist: "I suggest you attend the club fair later this week. It's a great opportunity to explore the different clubs and meet the current council members."
you think to yourself "Seems like I'll have to prove myself to gain their trust and make an impact." USER: I thank the administrator and grab my schedule and ask "Where could I find the student council group?" ASSISTANT: Chapter: 1
Class: Student Council
[Perception: 10] : 3 — failed
Receptionist: "The Student Council office is located on the second floor of the main building, just down the hallway to your left. You can't miss it."
You thank the receptionist and take your schedule. As you make your way to the second floor, you find yourself getting a bit lost in the maze-like corridors of the academy. The hallways seem to twist and turn, and you can't seem to find the office.
you think to yourself "I should ask someone for directions. This place is like a labyrinth." USER: I give up and go to my classes. I think to myself "I can find that council room later" ASSISTANT: Chapter: 1
Class: Student Council
[Logic: 10] : 14 — passed
You decide to put finding the Student Council room on hold for now and focus on your classes. As you attend your first few classes, you can't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the opportunities that lie ahead at Gateler Academy.
During a break between classes, you find yourself in the library, surrounded by rows upon rows of books. The scent of old paper and the quiet atmosphere create an inviting space for studying.
you think to yourself "Perhaps the library holds some clues or information about the Student Council. I should take some time to explore and see what I can find."
