Chapter 704: Final Club Rankings II
The atmosphere in the main auditorium of Yukihime High School was electric. Every student, teacher, and club member present could feel the weight of the moment, their hearts pounding in unison as they awaited the final announcements. The student council had already revealed the rankings from tenth place down to fourth, leaving just three clubs standing at the top.
Vivian, the student council president, stood at the center of the stage, her presence commanding the attention of everyone in the room. Behind her, the other members of the student council were lined up, each holding their breath along with the crowd. This was the first-ever Yukihime High School Club Festival, and the excitement was palpable.
"Thank you all for your patience," Vivian began, her voice steady and clear, yet tinged with excitement. "We've now reached the most anticipated part of today's ceremony-the announcement of the top three clubs of the festival."
"As all of you may know, in addition to the Top 10 rewards, the Top 3 Clubs will receive sponsorship from the student council to develop an event by the clubs' choices. The grand champion club will receive a complete appliance and structure makeover by the student council." Vivian reminded the crowd once again of the grand rewards reserved for the Top 3 clubs.
Without any surprise, the crowd became even more anxious when they heard that.
Everyone wanted these rewards!
A murmur of anticipation rippled through the audience. Club members exchanged glances, some confident, others nervous. For the top three clubs, this moment represented the culmination of weeks of hard work, creativity, and dedication.
Vivian glanced at the envelope in her hand, then out at the expectant faces before her. She knew how important this was to the students, and she wanted to make this moment as special as possible.
"In third place..." Vivian paused, allowing the suspense to build. The auditorium was silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife.
"The Martial Arts Club!"
The silence broke into a wave of cheers and applause. The members of the Martial Arts Club erupted from their seats, their faces beaming with pride. Kazuki, the club's president, led the group to the stage, his usual calm demeanor replaced by a rare, broad smile.
Vivian smiled as Kazuki approached. "Your club's impressive demonstrations and workshops captured the attention of the entire school. Congratulations on earning third place!" Kazuki accepted the symbolic plaque from Vivian, and the members of the Martial Arts Club clapped each other on the back, their excitement evident. As they made their way off the stage, the audience continued to cheer, acknowledging the club's efforts and achievements. With the third place now revealed, the tension in the auditorium escalated. Only two clubs remained: the Love Nature Club and the Delicious Food Fan Club. Both had been fierce competitors throughout the festival, each bringing something unique and captivating to the
event.
Vivian knew that the next announcement would be the most thrilling of all. She took a deep breath, feeling the collective anticipation of the room. The two remaining clubs were practically holding their breath, their eyes locked on her as she prepared to reveal the final rankings.
"And now," Vivian began, her voice ringing out across the auditorium, "we will reveal the top two clubs of the Yukihime High School Club Festival."
A hush fell over the crowd. Everyone leaned forward, straining to catch every word.
"As it is our first club festival, I'll announce the Top 2 clubs at the same time."
The statement sent a ripple of excitement through the audience. Announcing the top two clubs at the same time was a bold move, and it added an extra layer of suspense to an already tense situation.
Vivian opened the final envelope, her hands steady as she pulled out the slip of paper that held the results. She took a moment to meet the eyes of the students before her, the moment stretching out as the entire auditorium seemed to hold its breath.
"The Club Champion of the 1st Yukihime Club Festival is..." Vivian's voice was calm but carried the weight of the moment. "The Delicious Food Fan Club! With Love Nature Club as the Runner-Up!"
As soon as she said that, everyone stood up and started clapping and cheering for the two clubs.
The room erupted into cheers from all corners, though the members of the Love Nature Club were slightly subdued, they were still extremely happy that they had managed to achieve such a high ranking. Natsuki, the club president, smiled graciously as she led her team to the stage. Despite their slight disappointment, they held their heads high, proud of what they had accomplished.
From another corner of the auditorium, the place exploded with cheers, the loudest of which came from the members of the Delicious Food Fan Club. They leaped from their seats, hugging each other and cheering with unbridled joy. Olly, the club president, looked as though he couldn't believe it, his eyes wide with a mix of disbelief and elation.
Vivian smiled warmly as Natsuki accepted the plaque. "Your creativity and passion brought the festival to life in a way that no one will forget. Congratulations on an incredible achievement!"
Natsuki nodded, accepting the applause from the audience with a mixture of pride and happiness.
Vivian waited for the cheers to subside before continuing. "Your club's dedication, hard work, and passion for food have truly paid off. Congratulations on being the champions of this year's festival!"
Olly and his team made their way to the stage, where Vivian handed them the grand prize-a beautifully crafted trophy that symbolized their victory. As Olly held the trophy aloft, the auditorium filled with applause, the sound echoing off the walls and filling the room with a sense of celebration.
The Delicious Food Fan Club had done it. They had emerged victorious from a field of fierce competitors, and now they stood on the stage as the champions of the Yukihime High School Club Festival.
As the applause continued, Vivian turned to the large screen behind the stage. "And now, for those who are curious about where their club placed in the overall rankings..."
With a gesture, the screen lit up, displaying the complete rankings of all the clubs that had participated in the festival. The names and rankings scrolled down the screen, allowing every student in the auditorium to see where their club had finished.
The students leaned forward, eagerly scanning the list for their club's name. There were murmurs of excitement, gasps of surprise, and even a few disappointed sighs as the final rankings were revealed.
But overall, the mood in the auditorium was one of celebration. The first Yukihime High School Club Festival had been a resounding success, and the students had come together to create something truly special.
"For those who hadn't managed to reach the Top 10, don't be too sad. Don't forget that every club will receive part of the profits over the earnings that each club managed to get during the two days of the festival. this means that everyone will leave the festival with money to spend." Vivian reminded the crowd with a mischievous smile.
The students' gaze shone as they heard that.
How could they forget such a good perk about the club festival?
This meant that even if they hadn't managed to get into the Top 10 clubs, every club would ended up with more money than they had invested in their attractions.
A win-win situation for everyone!
Everyone started to love the club festival even more.
Vivian stepped back, allowing the students to take in the rankings. She couldn't help but smile
as she watched the reactions of her fellow students. This festival had been a milestone for the school, and she was proud to have played a part in it.
As the students continued to celebrate, Vivian knew that this was only the beginning. The Yukihime High School Club Festival had set a new tradition, and she was extremely happy to be part of the student council setting up such a tradition.
For now, though, it was time to bask in the moment and celebrate the achievements of
everyone who had participated in this historic event.
The Delicious Food Fan Club had won, but in the end, every club contributed to the success of the festival, and that was something worth celebrating.
