240 – Tournament Qualifiers
Boom!!
“Brother! Are you really going to carry out this outrageous plan?!”
Shinjiro Akagi nodded her head with a spleen look on her cousin Minami’s back.
“I can’t help it now that things have turned out this way. It’s my fault for not calculating the variable Nao Minato.”
But Minami couldn’t understand that.
“You can revise your plan right now! You have the ability to do so!”
“No, unless we can perfectly control all the variables, our plan is already full of flaws. Honestly, it was only possible when everything went perfectly. That’s it.”
“Kuh…!”
Shinjiro, who couldn’t bear to retort and stared at Minami biting her lips as if resentful, intertwined her hands and said.
“Maybe it worked out rather well. I didn’t know that Sasha would hold such a trump card. I don’t know how she got it from Kim Yu-seong, but since I bet it as a prize for this tournament, Kim Yu-seong has no choice but to now. You will have no choice but to ride the flow of
“…Will the man act as we please?”
As Minami muttered that with a worried expression, Shinjiro pushed up her glasses with his middle finger and said,
“I know him well. No matter what he says, he always keeps his word. No matter what the outcome is, he will definitely move in the direction we want.”
So we just have to wait.
“Who will lift the trophy after a fierce competition.”
***
‘How did this happen?’
Obviously, I didn’t intervene, but Nao and Sasha declared their participation in the contest as if they had waited, and the scale of the beauty pageant grew enormously, like roasting beans with lightning.
Originally, it was said that this was not such a grand competition, but the student council volunteered to sponsor it or something.
Anyway, the beauty pageant at Ichijo Academy, which had gone through such extensive publicity, opened with the support of countless students.
“Lady’s and Gentlemae Ee! And Ichijo Academy’s classmates Hello Oh Oo!
“This is Shinjiro Akagi, the vice president of the student council.”
“This is Ayabe Nana, the head of the newspaper department. Please take good care of everyone&”
“…This is Yuseong Kim.”
Shouldn’t this usually be reviewed by an expert?
I was suddenly appointed as a judge, and I awkwardly waved my hand and checked the crowd.
“Kek-“
And I had no choice but to make a strange voice by raising it.
That’s also because the people sitting in the stands were only very familiar people.
‘Why are they here?!’
No matter how much the cultural festival says that everyone who receives an invitation from the students can come in, they can still come all at once like this?
I looked up at the group of parents who sat proudly in the middle of the crowd.
Starting with Karen’s father, Naoto Tojo, Rika’s father, Mr. Kishimoto, and his mother, Maria, Sasha’s father, Ivan and his wife, and Boris and Fuma Kotaro were all sitting in a row.
A truly overwhelming presence.
If you look closely, other students are also quietly avoiding their seats.
‘Those guys don’t look like they are, but they subtly have similar behavioral patterns.’
I was looking at the God of Destruction and the Black Yaksha, who are regarded as rare rivals, but suddenly someone pulled my sleeve, so I had no choice but to turn my head.
“It’s been a while. Kim.”
The person who pulled my sleeve was Ayabe-senpai sitting right next to me.
“Ah, yes. It’s been a while. Senpai.”
“Thanks to Mr. Kim’s interview, the newspaper prepared by our newspaper department for the cultural festival was able to become a huge hit. I want to say thank you again here.”
“I didn’t do anything special. Rather, the senior who wrote the article had a hard time.”
“So…”
“?”
“Couldn’t you have an interview with Kotaro Fuma just once? It’s a lifetime wish!”
“Oh, that’s a bit.”
“Why!”
“No, I’m not very familiar with that man either.”
“I can’t!”
Ayabe-senpai gets very weak after hearing my answer and droops his shoulders.
It’s a pity, but there was nothing I could do.
Well, by the way.
“I didn’t expect you to be a judge in a competition like this.”
When I naturally changed the topic of conversation, the senior answered in a lively voice as if it had happened.
“The vice-president gave me the suggestion first. I get upset when I fall for such fun things.”
“Vice President?”
“Yes.”
When I looked at the vice-president with new eyes, the vice-president laughed and crossed his arms.
“Miss Ayabe, she is a student with a great sense of fashion, to the point where she has been in charge of the fashion section of the school newspaper for three consecutive years. She has a great sense of aesthetics, and her eyes are really unreliable. .”
From noble mtl dot com
“hehehe, it’s embarrassing to hear such compliments in front of others.”
“It’s a fact that the chairman acknowledged, so she can be proud of it.”
The vice-president and Ayabe-senpai, who exchanged good wishes with each other, quickly turned their gazes forward after hearing Satoru’s request to concentrate.
“Okay, now that the introductions of the judges are over, let’s start the preliminaries in earnest! The long-awaited entry number 1! The main character is this person!”
Pot!
The light from the searchlight specially prepared by the theater department for the play to be screened tomorrow shines on the stage.
And walking out onto the brightened stage was someone I knew very well.
“The body is small, but the potential hidden in that gene is infinite! Akaoni, the current kendo club captain and class 2-A! Karen Tojo!”
“Who is Akaoni! Man!”
Karen, who was well dressed, got angry at Satoru, who was acting as her MC, and belatedly introduced herself in a crawling voice, perhaps conscious of her side of the crowd.
“Chwi, my hobbies are flower arrangement and tea ceremony. Please take good care of me.”
For Karen, cheers and applause pour in from the audience.
“Cute!”
“In the world these days, small breasts are a status! Don’t be discouraged!”
As Karen shyly retreated backstage, Satoru eventually introduced the next person.
“The next person to introduce is participation number 2! A blonde transfer student from Shizuoka! A lovely cutie dynamite girl loved by everyone! I’m Rika Kishimoto!”
When Satoru called her name, Rika, who had been waiting under the stage, jumped out onto the stage with her lively face.
“Peace☆! Peace☆! Rika Kishimoto from Shizuoka! Take good care of everyone!”
With her trademark smile that makes the viewer happy, the audience received favorable reviews.
“Ah, just looking at it warms my heart.”
“Is this the Goddess?”
“She’s my daughter, but she’s really pretty.”
“Oops? Whose daughter is Rika?”
After Karen, Ricardo stepped back from the stage, followed by participants 3, 4, and 5.
Anyway, because the first two people were so outstanding in appearance, the last three people received relatively less attention, but the person who appeared this time was different from the appearance.
“Yes! Another dark horse has appeared in the heat of the field that is getting hotter and hotter! She is like the northern wind of Siberia, who will cool off this heat! Participation number 6! Alexandra Ivanovna Romanova student’s position no see!”
Pot!
In an instant, all the lights in the venue were turned off.
But all at once they turned on again, brightly illuminating a person who hadn’t been on stage until just now.
Beautiful silver-blue hair that glistens in the light.
Like a first-class theatrical dancer, arms and legs stretched out.
In addition, like a foreigner, the size of the combat power pocket was enormous.
Probably the size of the five fingers in this competition.
Sasha, who strode forward as soon as Satoru called her name, suddenly checked her voice into the microphone with ah-ah-, then she introduced herself, which was by no means ordinary.
“This is Sasha, the mascot of class 2-B. I’m going to win this tournament anyway, so I hope other people don’t even dream of winning. Oh, I’m willing to give up the prize money if you want.”
A truly unconventional self-introduction.
Her biological parents, Ivan, seemed to have already gotten used to her biological daughter Sasha’s eccentricities, and just watched the stage with a smile.
Eventually, Sasha’s turn passed, and the person who received the most attention in this competition appeared.
“The main character always appears later! The strongest candidate for the championship of this tournament, the idol loved by everyone! Participation number 7! Nao Minato!”
Waaa!!
As if it had been just a rehearsal up until now, cheers and applause poured in from the audience.
Its firepower surpassed the strongholds of all contestants who had come out so far.
Soon after, Minato Nao stepped onto the stage with a light gait and skillfully greeted everyone with a refreshing smile that seemed to make everyone happy.
“Hello everyone~ I think it’s a great honor to have so many people like me participate in this long-awaited tournament! !”
The technique of capturing the atmosphere of the audience, showing perfect stage manners and eye handling, was truly worthy of being called a heavenly entertainer.
And seeing Nao like this, Ayabe-senpai, who was sitting next to me, gave me this evaluation.
“Wow, you’re a complete player? There’s no time to pay for this.”
As expected, the evaluation of the same gender seems much colder.
