Chapter 607: Student School Council Debate I
Chapter 607: Student School Council Debate I
Main Auditorium, Yukihime High School, Elffire City.
The lights of the stage lit up as lean and somewhat handsome appeared in front of everyone.
At first, no one reacted, but suddenly some people in the crowd started clapping and the rest of the students felt compelled to clap as well.
The handsome man on the stage smiled and waved at the crowd before taking his place on the podium.
Vivian and Brenda's group noticed that the ones who started clapping first were Winston's supporters.
They narrowed their eyes as they thought at the same time, 'Smart move.'
"Good afternoon, students!" The youth said as he picked up the microphone, "Some of you might know me, but for those who don't, my name is John Smith, a third-year student. I'm currently running to become the vice president of the student council together with Winston and the others." John said with an amiable tone of voice.
The students who knew John already knew how charismatic he could be, and those who didn't know him were enthralled by his good manners.
"I'm here to speak to you guys about all the amazing things that our campaign group will do for this school if you guys vote for us later." He said with a bright smile on his face.
Most of the students nodded in agreement and paid extra attention to his speech. The students who were talking among each other were warned by the patrolling teachers after Winston's supporters pointed at the people who were talking to these teachers.
Vivian and Aurora looked at this scene and winced in annoyance. It seemed like their opponents wouldn't fall down without a fight.
The big screen at the back of the stage suddenly lit up as a slide show suddenly appeared.
"I'll mention each thing we promise to deliver you guys if we manage to win this election." John said as the next slide appeared showing images of famous places all around the world. "The first thing we promise to do is to do everything in our power as the student council to bring everyone to an amazing place for the annual school trip. We managed..." John started his presentation as he spoke charismatically and fluently.
Brenda and Vivian's group greeted their teeth when they saw Winston's group proposing this idea. Winston's group had stolen this idea from both of them on the second day of the election campaign!
They were still amazed by how shameless Winston's group could get.
For the next 10 minutes, John spoke of the promises that their group would deliver if they were elected. And at least two other promises he presented were stolen from Vivian and Brenda's group.
Brenda and Vivian already expected that, but they were still furious when they heard John present these ideas as if they were the ones who came up with them.
"...and lastly, our last promise is if elected, we will produce the most amazing Autumn Festival that this school has ever seen! You guys must be wondering how we would do that, right?" John asked with a smile.
Vivian and Aurora frowned when they heard that, Winston's group really saved up a trump card for today's debate!
"I won't explain much as I'll leave the full explanation to our future president, Winston. But I can say that we managed to contact a famous band to perform in the Autumn Festival." John said with a mysterious smile.
Everyone in the crowd suddenly started talking among each other in wonder as they heard that. Everyone wondered which band John was talking about.
John looked at the crowd's excitement in happiness as he let them speak among each other for a while.
"That's it for our promises. I hope that most of you guys trust us enough to vote for us later. I guarantee that we will take this job seriously!" John said when the crowd quieted down, "Thank you for your cooperation!" He said before leaving the podium.
CLAP CLAP CLAP
Suddenly some people started clapping loudly, and the rest of the crowd clapped loudly as well as they were intrigued about the last proposition from Winston's group.
"Damn it, they are good." Umaru said as she suddenly appeared before Vivian and Aurora. "Yeah, I listened to some conversations, and the crowd is interested in their ideas." Carolla commented as she appeared as well.
"No panicking. We already knew that they might have a trump card. Or own trump card is much better than theirs." Vivian replied with a calm face.
"Yeah, I don't believe they know someone so famous. It's at best a relatively famous band." Aurora commented as she thought if she should have offered the idea of Tsukuyomi to her friends.
But if she appeared as Tsukuyomi in front of her friends, it would be easy for them to recognize her.
She was torn between the two sides when suddenly she felt someone placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Aurora." Vivian smiled, "Our ideas are good enough to win this election!"
"Yes!" Umaru chimed in excitedly.
The four girls chatted for a while until the lights on the stage lit up once again.
It was Brenda's group's turn to speak!
A rather cute schoolgirl appeared on the stage and smiled at the crowd.
She had twin braids, freckles on her cheeks, and big brown eyes that served only to highlight
her cuteness.
Resumedly, she was an extremely cute loli!
Unsurprisingly, the crowd went nuts as soon as she appeared.
"So cute!"
"I want to squeeze her fluffy cheeks!"
"I think I have a new idol!"
"Kouhai-chan! You are so cute!"
"..."
The whole crowd looked at her with shining eyes. The crowd's reaction to her entrance was much bigger than their reaction to John's appearance.
Vivian and the girls already expected such a reaction as they knew that the candidate for vice president in Brenda's group was so cute that even the four girls were enchanted by her
cuteness.
But Winston's group was taken by surprise when they saw that. They didn't expect that they would lose all the momentum that John built with only a simple appearance from this cute
girl.
The girl stopped in front of the podium and struggled to arrange things as she was too short. But in reality, she was just acting cute, and her strategy worked as the crowd only thought she was too cute when they saw her act.
When she finally picked up the microphone, she looked at the crowd and said, "Hi, guys, I'm Ohori Hanako, please take care of me!" She said as she bowed cutely at the crowd.
At that moment, the crowd went crazy in an overload of cuteness!
"Oh my god!"
"She is too cute! I'm going to die!"
"CUTENESS OVERLOAD!"
The auditorium was filled with shouts like these, and Brenda's supporters didn't even have to
guide the crowd as Ohori was a master in acting cute!
Even Vivian's group looked at Ohori with shining eyes as they tried to resist the cuteness of
their opponent.
'It seems our opponent is stronger than we thought.' The girls thought at the same time.
