Just like yesterday, the student council gathered all the clubs in one of the main stages half an hour before the festival would start at 10 AM. Their purpose was to give instructions, report some pieces of information, and others.
When Aurora checked that every club had sent a representative, she gave Vivian the ok signal that she could start addressing the students.
Vivian took a deep breath as she stepped forward onto the stage, her calm and composed demeanor masking the fatigue she felt from the late night. She knew how important this festival was not just for the clubs, but for the entire school. The success of the first event of its kind would set the tone for future festivals, in other words, it would determine if the club festival would be able to become a traditional school festival at Yukihime High in the next few years, and she was determined to ensure everything ran smoothly.
"Good morning, everyone!" Vivian's voice rang out clearly through the microphone, immediately commanding the attention of the assembled students. "I'm thrilled to see all of you here so early and eager to make the second day of our festival even more successful than the first."
A wave of cheers and applause swept through the crowd, the energy palpable despite the early hour. The representatives from each club, many of whom had been awake as early as the student council, stood attentively, their expressions a mix of excitement and determination. "As you know," Vivian continued once the applause had died down, "yesterday was an incredible start. We saw amazing participation, creativity, and teamwork from every club. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the feedback from our visitors has been overwhelmingly positive. We should all be proud of what we've accomplished so far."
She paused to let her words sink in, her gaze sweeping across the sea of faces before her. "However, today is just as important. It's our final day, which means it's our last chance to make an impact. I know many of you are feeling the pressure, especially with the preliminary rankings being released this morning." She glanced at Carolla, who was standing off to the side with the other council members, a stack of papers in her hand.
Vivian turned back to the crowd. "But remember, these rankings are not set in stone. There's still plenty of time for any club to rise to the top. What matters most is that you continue to put in the same effort and passion that you did yesterday. Focus on providing the best experience possible for our visitors, and the results will follow."
She then gestured to Aurora, who stepped forward to provide additional instructions. "Now, before we get started, there are a few important things we need to go over. First, we've received some feedback about certain areas of the campus being overcrowded, particularly near the food stalls and the Mini Music Festival Stage. We're asking those clubs in these areas to coordinate with each other to better manage the flow of people. If you need any assistance with this, please don't hesitate to reach out to us."
Aurora's authoritative tone made it clear that this was not just a suggestion but an
Expectation. The club representatives nodded in agreement, understanding the importance of maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone."Secondly," Aurora continued, "we've had some issues with some people not knowing how to use the festival currency yesterday. Although the use of Yuki Notes is pretty much self- explanatory, Carolla has been working hard to ensure that the public is made more aware today. However, we ask that you remind your club members to be patient if there are any further issues. We've stationed extra volunteers near the currency exchange machines to assist anyone who needs help."
Carolla stepped forward with a reassuring smile, adding, "We've also placed additional signage around the machines to guide people through the process and the uses of Yuki Notes. If any club encounters problems with the machines or anything else related to transactions, please let me or one of the other council members know immediately."
Next, Brenda took the stage, her stern yet caring presence a familiar comfort to the students. "I want to remind everyone to be vigilant about safety today. We had a few minor incidents yesterday, nothing too serious, but it's important that we all do our part to keep things running smoothly. If you see anything suspicious or if something doesn't feel right, report it to one of us or a staff member right away."
She emphasized the importance of looking out for one another, not just within their clubs but across the entire student body. "This festival is a reflection of our school, and it's up to us to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. Let's show our visitors the best that Yukihime High has to offer."
After Brenda finished, Hanako, the public relations representative, took her turn at the microphone. Her usual energetic self, she was excited to share some positive news. "We've been tracking social media mentions and interactions throughout the festival, and the response has been amazing! People are loving what we're doing here, and we're getting attention from outside the school as well. Let's keep that momentum going today-make sure to encourage visitors to share their experiences online and use the official festival hashtags!"
Hanako's enthusiasm was infectious, and the club representatives couldn't help but smile as she spoke. It was clear that the hard work they had put into promoting the festival was paying off, and it only motivated them to push even harder on this final day.
Finally, Umaru stepped forward, her usually lively demeanor replaced by a more serious one. "I know that many of you are nervous about the rankings and the competition to be in the top 10. But remember, this festival isn't just about winning-it's about celebrating our school community and all the amazing things we can accomplish together. So while I want you all to give it your best shot today, don't forget to enjoy yourselves too. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and you should make the most of it."
Her words resonated with the students, reminding them of the true spirit of the festival. It wasn't just about the rewards or the competition; it was about coming together as a school and creating something special.
With the final words of encouragement from the student council, Vivian returned to the microphone to wrap things up. "Thank you, everyone, for your attention. I have no doubt that today will be even more successful than yesterday. Let's make this final day of the festival one to remember!"
The club representatives responded with enthusiastic cheers, their energy renewed as they prepared to tackle the day ahead. As they began to disperse and head back to their respective areas, the student council members exchanged relieved smiles. Despite the challenges they had faced, everything was on track, and the festival was shaping up to be a huge success. As the clock ticked closer to 10 AM, the campus buzzed with activity. Clubs were making last- minute preparations, students were getting into position, and the air was filled with a sense of anticipation. The student council members moved swiftly, checking in with various clubs, resolving any last-minute issues, and ensuring that everything was in place for the festival's start.
In the command room, Vivian and the others kept a close eye on the time, their nerves tingling with excitement. The hard work, late nights, and early mornings were all about to pay off. They had put everything into making this festival a success, and now it was time to see the fruits of their labor.
At exactly 10 AM, the festival gates opened, and the second day of Yukihime High School's first-ever club festival officially began.
