After all, this is Witch Academy, the territory of the Angel Witches. Even though the influence of the God King Religion is slowly disintegrating, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse. Hence, it's better to keep things discreet here.
Although Sophia has truly become the God King Holy Child, this doesn't mean all the Angel Witches recognize her. In fact, there are still a significant number of conservative Angel Witches who are obsessed with their faith and refuse to acknowledge her, and these old folks have considerable influence in Witch Academy.
Therefore, being so enthusiastic towards her here is not a wise choice. If those old guys find out, one might get implicated.
And those who have worked in the student council for many years certainly can distinguish the current situation, but even so, they are still welcoming Sophia's return warmly, which only shows their genuine joy from the heart.
What goes around, comes around; genuine feelings exchanged always pay off.
