"Hmm~ What a charming young man~ If you succeed, I can give you a chance to have dinner with me~" Andro M. Jazz looked at Shesi in silence for a while, then said. Andro M. Jazz heard it; the anxious sound from before had changed into an excited one.
"Well then, I'll be going now~" Andro M. Jazz left the Royal Classroom with Kalego.
Inside Babyls Auditorium,
Teacher Robin was explaining on stage.
"Now, let's review the details of the Music Festival. First-year students, a total of six grades, are free to choose their performance items. Stage time is approximately 20 minutes. A quick, accurate, and decisive 'OK' sound was heard~ Each judge holds 6 points, and scoring will be super strict! Now, the first performance, Class A, begins!" Robin finished speaking.
Andro M. Jazz, on the judging panel, glanced at the performance list.
"How annoying, those kids are actually the last ones."
"Huh? Is Poro-chan talking about the Misfit Class?"
"I'm really looking forward to them too."
"But after all, it's just a cute musical make-believe game for the students, so we shouldn't be too harsh."
"Huh? Even if you say that, wasn't it you who gave that zero score last time?"
"I only gave it because their singing was so unpresentable."
Just as the judges were chatting, a loud roar from the stage attracted the attention of the three… no, the entire audience.
[Iron Fact]: The prince, deceived and stripped of his status, found truth in the elven kingdom. A timid, weak, and humble prince, devoid of dignity, was addressed by the elves:
"Please engrave this feeling of weakness in your heart. To reach the top, you need to be [even greedier]."
Class A's performance: [Demon Exorcism Legend] Recitation.
…"Oh! Full of power!"
"Awesome!"
"Ah, I'm getting goosebumps."
The students below the stage watched Class A's recitation and said,
"Oh, isn't that Coco?" Shesi exclaimed in surprise.
"What an intense formation," Jazz sighed.
"What an opening shock. Who decided on the sponsorship? But they really performed well."
"It might be a tough one to beat."
"Super amazing!" A voice came from behind the two. They turned their heads to see Iruma, eyes sparkling, looking at the stage in front of him and saying,
"Huh? Iruma-kun, have you recovered?"
"Yeah, this stage is super powerful. The other classes put a lot of effort into preparing and practicing. The performances on stage really got everyone excited. The Music Festival is indeed super fun," Iruma said to everyone.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then started to laugh.
"That's right, but we're definitely going to win!"
"Exactly!"
"Only with strong opponents can my strength truly shine~" Sabnock also said.
Class A's score: 5 4 3
Robin looked at the three points in Andro M. Jazz's hand.
"Huh? Isn't that a bit too strict?"
"A very fair evaluation! The third person from the right in the second row, yes, you, you sang the lyrics wrong, and the child next to you started singing late, and a few voices there were suppressed. Although their voices are still very young, their talent is good, and they need to work harder in the future," Andro M. Jazz said to Class A in front of him.
"Yes!"
With the conclusion of Class A, it was time for Class B's performance.
Class B chose… an ensemble.
That's right, an ensemble of rock and classical styles. They accepted Ronowei-senpai's advice, communicated further, harmonized with each other, familiarized themselves with each other's strengths, talked openly, and finally came to a conclusion.
"Indeed, my music is the best in the world!"
That's right, only by thoroughly understanding each other can you have a thorough fight!
"What amazing music."
…Class C: A play about a princess and a wicked dragon breaking through societal perceptions.
Time passed with the performances of the other classes, and soon it was the Misfit Class's turn.
"Next, it's time! Stand up!" Backstage, Kalego looked at everyone and said.
At this moment, Andro M. Jazz was once again lost in his memories of Delkira.
"Poro-chan? What's wrong?" Meme, who had just spoken to Andro M. Jazz, noticed he didn't respond and asked.
"Ah!? Oh, nothing, it's just me, I accidentally got lost in my memories of Lord Delkira again."
Meme heard this.
"…Is that 'nothing'? You're practically lovesick, aren't you?"
"But this time, I was truly amazed. This year's standard is incredibly satisfying," Choppa said.
"There's only that one class left, isn't there?"
"Hmm, although if it ended now, I'd be quite content, but this lingering anticipation makes my heart itch," Andro M. Jazz said.
A huge cheer erupted from the audience behind Andro M. Jazz. Everyone, whether audience members, performers, or students' families, was anticipating the Misfit Class. The cheers grew louder each time.
"Your Highness! Go for it!"
"Go, Geb-kun!"
"I want to be in front!"
"Get out of the way, this is my spot!"
Even Ronove and Navla were preparing to use the Student Council's name to get to the front to watch the Misfit Class's performance.
"An unprecedented spectacle! We must go to the front!"
Westan, seeing this, angrily shouted at the two, "Get back to work! The crowd is going to be chaotic!" Just as Westan was still lecturing Ronove about not overshadowing the first-years as a second-year, the president had already taken the brought-over sofa and sat in the best position to watch. Suddenly, a voice came.
"Excuse me, please make way." Opera ran over with two video recording devices, and even Sullivan was nearby, holding a camcorder and starting to record.
Just as the cheers from the audience grew louder, Teacher Robin came onto the stage.
"Alright, everyone calm down! Quiet down! The final performance is finally here! The ones who are always at the center of attention at Babirus Demon School! The Misfit Class, who obtained the Royal Classroom and shone brightly at the Harvest Festival! Now they are standing on the stage of the Music Festival, I invite the Misfit Class! Enter… Huh?" Suddenly, Lead popped out from behind the screen.
"Big sis~ Big sis, where did you go?" Lead cried.
"Huh? Lead-kun?"
"Hmph, even if you find her, what's the point?"
"Jazz? What do you mean?"
"If I have to be so clear, she'll definitely choose me!"
"Save it, Nas, my stuff!"
"No, I won't stay silent on this matter."
Just as everyone thought it was a performance accident by the Misfit Class, the curtain behind them suddenly moved.
"Ah, she's here!"
"Go quickly to welcome her!"
As the few went in, the curtain suddenly opened, and the princess, surrounded by gentlemen, walked out.
"Welcome to my carpet~" The spotlight hit big sis, instantly stunning everyone for a moment.
