Chapter 703: Final Club Rankings I


    ?


    Main Auditorium, Yukihime High School, Elffire City.


    The air in the auditorium was thick with anticipation. Vivian, the student council president, stood on stage, holding the envelope that contained the final rankings. The student body had fallen into an expectant silence, the tension in the room almost palpable. Everyone knew that the next few moments would define the efforts of the clubs over the past two days, and the excitement was electric.


    Vivian nced out over the sea of eager faces, feeling the weight of the moment. The first- ever Yukihime High School Club Festival had been an overwhelming sess, and now it was time to honor the clubs that had worked tirelessly to make it so. She took a deep breath, then began.


    "As I mentioned earlier, we''ll be announcing the top ten clubs, starting from the tenth ce and working our way up to the top three. Each of these clubs put in an incredible amount of effort, and their dedication deserves to be recognized. So, without further ado, let''s begin." The students leaned forward in their seats, eyes wide and hearts pounding as they waited for the first name to be called.


    "In tenth ce," Vivian announced, her voice ringing clearly through the auditorium, "we have... the Manga Mania Club!"


    A burst of cheers erupted from the far side of the room, where the members of the Manga Mania Club were seated. They leaped to their feet, hugging each other with excited shouts. The club president, a small but spirited boy named Haru, led his team to the stage with a huge smile on his face. As they approached, the student council members apuded, and Vivian handed them a symbolic que.


    At that moment, they didn''t even care that they got down two positions in the ranking whenpared with the first day of the festival. They were only relieved that they managed to secure a position in the top 10 clubs.


    "Congrattions, Manga Mania Club," Vivian said warmly. "Your efforts have earned you a ce in the top ten. Well done!"


    The Manga Mania Club members epted the que with beaming faces before making their way back to their seats, still buzzing with excitement.


    Vivian waited for the apuse to die down before she moved on to the next announcement.


    "Ninth ce goes to... the Art 101 Club!"


    Another round of cheers filled the auditorium, this time from the Art 101 Club. The students, a mix of creative spirits, high-fived and embraced one another before making their way to the stage.


    While the club membersmemorated, the other students broke out in conversations as everyone was surprised. That was because the Art 101 Club didn''t appear in the First Day Rankings! This meant that on the second day of the festival, they managed to earn more than enough money to secure the 9th position in the rankings.


    That was an amazingeback!


    Their club president, a tall, soft-spoken boy named Ren, looked proud as he epted the que from Vivian.


    "Your artistic talents really shone through during the festival," Vivian said as she handed Ren the que. "Congrattions to the Art 101 Club!"


    The Art 101 Club members descended from the stage with their heads held high, their smiles wide as they joined the rest of the audience, who were still pping in admiration.


    Vivian took a brief moment to let the excitement settle before she continued.


    "In eighth ce," she announced, her voice steady, "we have... the Athletics Club!"


    A wave of cheers and whistles came from the middle of the auditorium, where the members of the Athletics Club were gathered. They were a boisterous bunch, known for their camaraderie andpetitive spirit, and they celebrated their ranking with hearty pats on the back and enthusiastic hugs. Their president, a muscr third-year student named Daiki, led them to the stage with a grin that stretched from ear to ear.


    "Your energy and teamwork were truly inspiring," Vivian said, handing Daiki the que. "Congrattions, Athletics Club!"


    The members of the Athletics Club epted the que with pride, their excitement evident as they made their way back to their seats, still basking in the apuse of their peers.


    The auditorium quieted down again as Vivian prepared to announce the next ranking. "In seventh ce... the Baking Sweets Club!"


    The cheers from the Baking Sweets Club were apanied by squeals of delight. The club, known for its delicious pastries and desserts, had been a favorite among the students during the festival. Their president, a bubbly and energetic girl named Emi, practically skipped to the stage with her team in tow.


    The crowd was amazed once again!


    The Baking Sweets Club was another club that didn''t appear in the First Day Rankings. But as the students started to talk with each other, they started realizing that the Baking Sweets Club ranking was normal. The club was one of the favorites to appear in the top 10 due to the nature of their club, if the club managed to sell a lot of their cakes, cupcakes, candies, and others they would definitely secure a position in the top 10. So, the first-day rankings were just an anomaly, so after the club adjusted its strategy for the second day of the festival, the club easily managed to secure the 7th position in the final ranking. The students even argued among each other that if the Baking Sweets Club had a good first day of sales, they would figure in the fight for the top three spots.


    "Your treats brought joy to everyone who visited your booth," Vivian said with a smile as she handed Emi the que. "Congrattions, Baking Sweets Club!"


    The members of the Baking Sweets Club epted the que with gleeful expressions, exchanging high-fives as they returned to their seats. The sweet aroma of their booth still seemed to linger in the air, a testament to their poprity during the festival.


    Vivian paused for a moment, allowing the apuse to fade before she continued with the announcements.


    "In sixth ce," she said, her voice ringing clearly through the auditorium, "we have... the Mystery Detective Book Club!"


    A wave of apuse filled the room as the members of the Mystery Detective Book Club cheered and pped. Their club, known for their love of all things mystery and suspense, had attracted many curious visitors to their booth, where they had hosted interactive mystery games. Their president, a sharp-eyed girl named Saki, led her team to the stage with a confident smile.


    "Your booth kept everyone on their toes with your engaging mystery games," Vivian said as she handed Saki the que. "Congrattions, Mystery Detective Book Club!"


    The members of the Mystery Detective Book Club epted the que with pride, their eyes gleaming with satisfaction as they returned to their seats amidst the cheers and apuse of the other students.


    Vivian took a deep breath before moving on to the next announcement.


    "In fifth ce... the Board Game Club!"


    A roar of cheers erupted from the back of the auditorium, where the Board Game Club members were seated. Their club had been a hit during the festival, with their life-sized board games drawing in crowds of participants and spectators alike. The club president, Kenji, looked ecstatic as he led his team to the stage.


    "Your creative approach to ssic games was a huge sess," Vivian said, handing Kenji the que. "Congrattions, Board Game Club!"


    The Board Game Club members epted the que with grins and high-fives, their excitement still bubbling over as they made their way back to their seats. The thrill of their


    oversized games seemed to have carried over into the auditorium, with many students still


    talking about their experiences.


    Vivian allowed the apuse to die down before she continued, her voice steady as she


    prepared to announce the next ranking.


    "In fourth ce... the Anime Chibi Club!"N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The Anime Chibi Club members erupted into cheers, their enthusiasm contagious as they celebrated their high ranking. Their venue featured several attractions like a cosy cafe, cosy contests, anime trivia, and others.

    The members of the Anime Chibi Club epted the que with joy, their excitement evident as they returned to their seats amidst the apuse and cheers of the other students.


    As the members of the Anime Chibi Club made their way back to their seats, the atmosphere in


    the auditorium shifted slightly. The top three clubs had yet to be announced, and the tension was building once again. The anticipation in the room was almost tangible, with everyone holding their breath, waiting to see which clubs had imed the top spots.

She could see the excitement and anxiety in the faces of the students, the way they leaned forward, eager to hear the final rankings.
