"And as I look at all of you, I can tell what you're thinking. What idiot would vote for an Occulter? Well...someone who is proud to be nice to others. Someone who will gladly put their reputation on the line if it means they understand acceptance. And that's what I want to bring to the table.

"If this isn't convincing, I can live with that. I can't, however, live with people still teasing me and calling me cruel names. I'm tired of dealing with haters. So even if this doesn't convince you to vote for me, I hope it convinces you to make this school a more accepting place. Vote for Oka Ruto for all to be accepted at Akademi's doorstep."

There's a long silence. And then?

The gym erupts with cheers. And quite a few students are driven to tears by this unique, emotional speech.
