Chapter 181: 111. Wind Music Competition Finale (2)_3

Amidst the noise, Katakura High School from Chunri Bu, Saitama Prefecture faintly heard that they had won the silver prize.

After all the results were announced, the venue exploded.

Schools that did not win the gold award naturally felt so devastated they wanted to withdraw, but for the schools which won, the real highlight was about to begin.

The air inside the concert hall grew even hotter.

Those who had won the gold were yearning for even higher honors.

"Next, we will announce the schools qualified to participate in the national competition."

The emcee pushed up his slipping reading glasses.

"The first school, number thirteen, representing Tokyo, Juze High School."

Piercing screams erupted from the venue as the girls from Juze High School huddled together, and the boys pushed each other around with an imposing air, not hiding their joy.

"The second school, number twenty-one, representing Tokyo, Katakura High School."

Amid cheers, Dubian Che looked towards number fourteen, Huakai High.

Honma Ayako... Hmm, the morning glory has already withered, just like when she stepped in cow dung in elementary school and cried all morning, sprawled on the desk.

’What did we have for lunch that day? Curry?’ Dubian Che shamelessly wondered.

"Last one!"

"If the other two schools from Tokyo get in and we don’t, how embarrassing is that going to be!"

"I’m so nervous, so nervous!"

Kiyono Lin took a deep breath, her face breaking into a wide smile, "It’s already us."

"Eh?" Everyone looked at her, puzzled.

"You guys really," Dubian Che said with disdain, "among the remaining two high schools, only ours is gold."

"We... got into the national competition?"

Before everyone could grasp the reality, the emcee had already announced the last school’s name.

"Finally, the third school, also the last slot: number twenty-two, representing Tokyo, Goda High School!"

"Hurray!!!"

"We are the Kantou representatives! Ah—"

Screams echoed throughout the concert hall.

The emcee seemed to be saying something more, but the cheers were so loud, nothing else was clear.

Dubian Che looked towards Kiyono Lin.

Kiyono Lin smiled gracefully, and he smiled back.

"Kiyono, we made it to the nationals!" Yuzao Haomei cheered and jumped towards Kiyono Lin.

Kiyono Lin was caught off guard, trying to push her away, "Yuzao, too close, it’s hot."

Yuzao Haomei ignored her and kept hugging her, repeatedly shouting, "So awesome! So awesome!"

Komatsu Misaki and Mayi Asuka on the stage received the trophies and certificates, while the crowd from Goda High School gave them applause so vigorous it was as if they wanted to smash their hands.

Standing under the spotlight, Komatsu Misaki continuously wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying to look serious.

The dazzling Mayi Asuka still had an expressionless face, her skin colorless, pale and almost ethereal.

But when Dubian Che looked over, their eyes met, and a slow smile bloomed on her face, a blush tinging her cheeks.

The awards ceremony ended, and everyone took the usual group photo before boarding the bus back to school.

The atmosphere was lively, filled with laughter and chatter, and the trophies and certificates were passed around, the clicks of cameras never stopped.

"Hey, I read on the forum that Kyoto Tangerine only got a silver at the Kansai competition this year."

"Kyoto Tangerine? Tangerines?"

"What, no, it’s a high school in Kyoto known for its strong Wind Instrument Club. It’s considered a traditional powerhouse because they often wear orange uniforms during performances, hence the nickname ’Orange Devils’."

"’Orange Devils’? That impressive? Then why only a silver? Did they change advisors?"

"I don’t know, not very familiar with Kyoto."

Listening to their conversation, Kiyono Lin explained, "Kyoto Tangerine maintains strong performances in marching contests, aiming for national gold every year, yet they are standard in seated concerts, so not making nationals isn’t a surprise."

"Oh, are you already studying our competitors for the nationals?" Dubian Che inquired.

"Of course," Kiyono Lin suddenly frowned, looking at Dubian Che’s teasing look, "That expression, it’s really annoying."

"No, nothing."

"Lies. Spill it."

"I was just thinking of something funny; honestly, it’s nothing."

"Hey, have you heard of Yunbei?"

"No."

"Never heard of that name, what about it?"

"It’s one of the representatives from Kansai, apparently put on a miraculous performance in the competition."

"A miracle? Not a concern." Dubian Che put down his phone, ending his chat with the complaining Honma Ayako.

"I heard their oboe solo was incredibly impressive."

Dubian Che chuckled lightly, and on the second day of intensive training after meeting Aphrodite, he had already reached grandmaster level.

"Wow!" a boy stood up with a bang, "Their trumpet solo is beautiful."

"Let me see." Amid the girls’ disdainful looks, Dubian Che included, all the boys crowded around.

As the boy zoomed in on her chest, the boys collectively let out a disgusting, snickering "heh heh."
