Chapter 691: The Festival Ends, Dancing with Fireworks



The final moments of the 1st Yukihime Club Festival were filled with anticipation. Theo and his friends had gathered at the main square of the campus, where the grand fireworks show would soon begin. The air buzzed with excitement, and the tension of the past two months of hard work finally began to ease. The festival had been a whirlwind of events, each club pouring their hearts into their attractions, and now, there was nothing left to do but enjoy the fruits of their labor.

That was because even the clubs who didn't achieve the Top 10 would be able to enjoy part of the profits their club attraction made during the festival.

Some modest clubs, who didn't think would make it to the Top 10, were even already planning what to do with the profit money they would receive. Some clubs wanted to buy a few things for their club rooms, while other clubs wanted to spend on club trips to tourist places in the state.

But there were a lot of clubs who were hoping to make it to the Top 10 Clubs. They yearned for the rewards that they would receive if they made it to these select few. They all wanted the fame and prestige that came with the ranking. After all, the top 10 clubs would receive brand- new installations in the new building.

So, with the end of the festival nearing, the clubs became more and more apprehensive about the final rankings. But they knew that they would have to wait for the release of the rankings as the student council would have to calculate every one's earnings throughout the day.

The night sky was clear, with a gentle breeze sweeping across the campus. The stars twinkled faintly, providing a serene backdrop for what was about to unfold. The lights around the campus dimmed, signaling the start of the show. Theo, standing beside Ayia, felt a mix of exhaustion and satisfaction. They had all worked hard, and now it was time to celebrate.

As the first firework soared into the night sky, its golden trail seemed to stretch endlessly, a radiant line that cut through the darkness. The crowd collectively held their breath as the firework reached its peak and then, with a thunderous boom, exploded into a shower of sparks. The sky was suddenly alive with a dazzling array of colors-vibrant reds, deep blues, shimmering greens, and brilliant golds. Each burst seemed to outdo the last, filling the air with a cascade of light that illuminated the entire campus.

Theo glanced at Ayia, whose face was bathed in the warm glow of the fireworks. Her eyes sparkled with the reflection of the lights above, and she smiled at him, a silent acknowledgment of the beauty they were witnessing. Around them, their friends were equally captivated. Shizuka stood nearby, her usual calm demeanor softened by the awe in her eyes. Sam, Sayuri, and Aurora were engrossed in the spectacle, their conversations fading as they focused on the display.

The fireworks continued to dazzle, each one more elaborate than the last. Some exploded into intricate shapes-hearts, stars, and even the Yukihime High School emblem, which drew cheers from the crowd. The bursts of light cascaded down like waterfalls, their shimmering trails painting the night with streaks of silver and gold. The music that accompanied the show swelled, its rhythm matching the pace of the explosions, creating a perfect harmony between sound and sight.

Then, without warning, the fireworks ceased. A hush fell over the crowd, the abrupt silence adding to the suspense. For a moment, the night was dark and still, the only sound was the faint rustling of the wind. But just as whispers of confusion began to spread, a new light appeared in the sky.

From the depths of darkness, a swarm of drones ascended into the air. Each one carried a small light, and together, they began to dance across the sky. The movements were graceful, almost ethereal as if the drones were performing to an invisible melody. The crowd watched in stunned silence as the drones formed words and images in the sky.

The first message read "Thank You" in bold, glowing letters. It was a simple but powerful gesture, a tribute to all the students who had poured their hearts into making the festival a success. The crowd erupted into applause, the sound echoing across the campus. The drones then shifted, forming the names of the clubs that had participated in the festival. Each name lingered in the sky for a moment before dissolving into the night, a testament to the creativity and dedication of the students.

But the show wasn't over yet. The drones continued their impressive display, shifting and transforming into different shapes with ease. A majestic dragon emerged, its body coiling through the air as if it were alive. Its scales glinted in the moonlight, each movement precise and controlled. Next came a phoenix, its fiery wings ablaze with vibrant colors. The bird soared across the sky, a symbol of rebirth and renewal, its form as beautiful as it was awe- inspiring.

As the phoenix faded, the drones began to form the final image. Slowly, a large snow lotus materialized in the sky, its delicate petals outlined by shimmering lights. The lotus was the symbol of Yukihime High School, and it shone brightly against the dark canvas of the night. The crowd gasped in unison, the sheer beauty of the image taking their breath away. It was a proud reminder of their school's strength and unity, a fitting end to the festival.

As the last of the drones descended, the lights around the campus slowly returned, and the crowd began to stir. Conversations resumed, filled with excitement and admiration for the show they had just witnessed. Theo looked around at his friends, who were all smiling, their faces glowing with happiness. The hard work, the late nights, the stress-it had all been worth it.

Ayia leaned into Theo, her hand slipping into his. "That was amazing," she whispered, her voice filled with wonder.

"It really was," Theo replied, squeezing her hand gently.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Around them, the crowd began to disperse, students and visitors alike heading off to their next destination or back home. But Theo and his friends lingered for a moment longer, soaking in the atmosphere, the sense of accomplishment, and the bond they shared. The festival had brought them closer together, each experiencing a new thread in the tapestry of their friendship.

As they finally began to make their way back, the memory of the fireworks lingered in their minds. The vibrant colors, the stunning shapes, the messages in the sky-it was a night they would never forget. The first Yukihime Club Festival had come to an end, but its impact would be felt long after the last firework had faded from the sky.
