Tengu city, it is a city rebuilt after a devastating spacequake three decades ago.
Although Tengu city isn’t a metropolitan area, the population here is still sizeable.
Because spacequakes are still a threat during the early development phase, not a lot of people moved into Tengu city. The per square area population density isn’t high because of this.
As an extension of this problem, there are only a few schools just as there are only so many students. Back then, it was almost impossible to get the city hyped over the school festivals due to the small scale.
For this, someone formulated a plan that will benefit everyone so they can all have a good time.
Since one school only had a few students. The schools decided to host their school festivals at the same time by cooperating with all the schools in Tengu city.
Raizen High is included in this mix. The result is the Tenou festival: a festival of school festivals, combining the students of all 10 high schools in Tengu city.
The original Tenou festival was designed with scale in mind. It was only a festival to combine the students and schools in one convenient festival. However, after 3 decades of development, the Tenou festival became a grand festival that lasted three days. The festival would be held in the central plaza of Tengu city.
Activity on this scale is something even Tengu city couldn’t cancel due to the huge scale of the festival. It became a feature of Tengu city.
All the anchors from big label broadcast companies would come to report on the Tenou festival. There are also tourists both domestic and international that would flock to this place just to see the Tenou festival. Indeed, the economic activities this festival generated is a huge plus for the city.
The high schools also valued this once-a-year event. At least, the high schools rightly regarded this event as a marketing chance to recruit as many students as possible for the next school year.
Because of this, every high school in the city is already excited over this event despite the actual event being weeks away.
Raizen High is one of them.
The school allowed the students to take one day off learning in order to properly plan their activities for the upcoming Tenou festival. The students were told to gather in the gymnasium.
Clearly, the school took this event seriously.
It’s not just the school. The students took this event seriously too.
It’s a once-a-year event, the playful students also regarded this as a very important event to showcase their abilities and play to their heart’s content. They are all very giddy with this event.
By the time Wu Yan brought Kaguya, Yuzuru, and Tohka over to the gymnasium, it’s already chock-full of people.
If Tohka, Kaguya, and Yuzuru didn’t go to Miku’s concert then they would have marveled at the sheer number of people here. There are also not as many people as when they attended the Tanabata festival.
There are tons of students here but the scale is smaller than the previous two events.
Wu Yan’s arrival caught the attention of the students inside the gym.
Stare…
The students directed very malicious gazes in Wu Yan’s direction. It’s like they are all training their killer stares on Wu Yan. Wu Yan paused, the poor guys just wanted to go to where his class was. He started smiling awkwardly.
This couldn’t be helped, he’s infamous in Raizen High.
He has a supermodel-level girlfriend, a similarly stunning fiancée who also hung around him until just recently, why wouldn’t the students remember him?
After that, two incredibly beautiful twins enrolled at the school, the twins started calling Wu Yan master the first time they met Wu Yan at the school. With so many beauties around him at school, it’s almost impossible for him to stay incognito.
Wu Yan bitterly laughed after sensing the animosity around him.
“Ah, I see. This is why Shiori went by herself, she predicted this, didn’t she?”
“Kukuku, isn’t this just fine?”
Kaguya laughed with arms akimbo.
“It’s only right for them to look at you in awe, am I wrong?”
“Ahaha…”
Wu Yan retorted.
“Do you think they are looking at me with respect?”
Wu Yan sighed. He started making his way towards his class. He also leered at Shiori for ditching him before coming here. Shiori responded by rolling her eyes at him.
Soon, the meeting started.
The school principal said his piece and the homeroom teachers started explaining the program.
“Tenou festival is an activity held in cooperation with all high schools in Tengu city. This isn’t your average school festival. We need someone to liaise with the other schools on various interschool projects.”
“As such, we need candidates to step up to this role…”
The students turned silent.
The point of going to the festival is to have a good time.
Being stuck as a committee member is an automatic forfeit of this fundamental right to fun.
Plus, there are various tasks involved so only a fool would volunteer for a tedious role like this.
The homeroom taught sensed this so he quickly added.
“Most of the tasks were already completed so the interschool committee member will only be in charge of the easy tasks. Plus, there are also other committee members. The position will mostly involve communicating with other members from other schools…”
The students weren’t convinced.
They exchanged looks in silence.
Wu Yan pursed his lip. He opened a can of drink.
What does this have to do with him?
He couldn’t have made a bigger mistake.
He would have never entered the crosshair of the homeroom teacher if he just stayed still.
Wu Yan screwed up.
He opened a can of drink in this silent place.
The crisp sound of someone popping a can of drink reverberated across the silent hall.
The students looked at the culprit. Wu Yan entered the sights of many male students here. In an instant, the male students cooked up a devious scheme.
“Teach!”
Someone yelled.
“I recommend Itsuka Shido to the Tenou festival committee!”
Pfft
Wu Yan spat out his drink.
The other male students piled in.
“Agreed! He’s the man for the job!”
“Yeah! Put him in charge!”
“Hell yeah! That bastard needs to stop flirting with girls and do some jobs for a change!”
“Yea yea!”
“Work him like a mule!”
“Yeah!”
The shouts were initially reasonable. Towards the end, they are just venting their frustration and hatred.
The girls also wanted to see Wu Yan suffer. This fuckboi needs to get what’s coming to him. They also called for him to get elected.
Itsuka Shido’s name echoed in the gymnasium.
“Erhmph…”
The homeroom teacher cleared his throat. He glanced at Wu Yan before beaming widely.
“In that case, Itsuka Shido from class 2-4 will be in charge of the Tenou festival interschool committee!”
“OHHH!”
The students cheered while Wu Yan’s expression collapsed.
