Bang! Bang bang!!
As fireworks shot into the sky, the joint school festival officially began.
As the liveliest event in the region, the students had been worked to death, but it had not been without rewards. At the very least, after the newspapers and television had bombarded everyone with coverage, the entire region knew about this joint school festival. Thus, when the festival officially opened, the place was packed with an endless stream of visitors.
Fang Zheng had more or less surveyed the entire venue the previous evening. He had to admit that private schools really were loaded. Just as Shuuchuin had said before, it had directly rented out an entire apartment building, filled it with representative works from every club, and even added a café with free service...
Byakuo was no less extravagant. Perhaps driven by the competitive spirit between private schools, it had actually rented out the amusement park across from Shuuchuin's apartment building and paid to construct a Ferris wheel. Byakuo's slogan claimed that visitors could ride the Ferris wheel and take in a panoramic view of the entire school...
Fine, let the immortals fight among themselves. Private schools really did have money to burn.
Unlike those two colossal monsters that had completely exceeded all reason, the other schools had displayed their own strengths and specialties quite normally. For example, schools skilled in electronic engineering had created technology exhibitions, schools skilled in performance had prepared stage plays, and some had taken a more unconventional approach by building Haunted Houses and the like.
In short, although this had been a political assignment handed down from above, it was still about winning face for their schools. They could hardly fob people off with some café or book-and-newspaper exhibition like they did on campus.
"It's about time."
