Chapter 300: The Plant Gathering Event

Currently, there are thirty students present in the room, each representing their class. Each grade has ten classes, ranging from Class A to Class J.

With three grades, the total number of classes reaches thirty, which means there are thirty people now sitting in a tense atmosphere.

Haruto is sitting in one corner of the room, his face full of frustration.

As Haruto leans back in his chair, his arms are crossed in front of his chest, while his feet are tapping impatiently on the floor.

Thoughts about how Haruto ended up in this situation keep swirling in his mind. Although Haruto knows that Lilyana did not mean any harm, he is still extremely annoyed.

Haruto then takes a deep breath and exhales slowly.

To be honest, Haruto doesn’t really hate Lilyana just because of this. The girl has acted impulsively quite often before. However, Haruto cannot shake off the feeling of frustration weighing on him right now.

Haruto glances around.

Most of the students seem busy talking to their friends or acquaintances from other classes. Some of them are laughing lightly, trying to ease the tension before the event starts. Others appear more serious, speaking in low voices while discussing strategies or possibilities they will face later.

However, Haruto is not interested in joining any conversation.

Since Haruto does not know anyone from the other classes, and honestly, he doesn’t feel the need to. For Haruto, there is no point in building relationships with people he might not interact with again after this event is over.

Haruto just wants this event to end quickly—so that afterward, he can enjoy his day peacefully, without the hassle of participating in other activities.

Although, deep down, Haruto knows that whatever happens next may not be that simple.

At the heart of the City Academy stands a magnificent stadium known as the center for various major academy events. This giant building is designed with futuristic architecture, featuring tiered seating that surrounds the entire arena, along with a transparent roof that allows sunlight to illuminate the field below.

Today, the stadium is filled with a sea of people. Students from various classes, teachers, and honored guests sit with eager expressions.

Some of them hold personal holographic screens for a clearer view, while others cheer enthusiastically as they gaze at the large screen above the stadium field. The sound of trumpets and cheers fills the air.

At the top of the stadium, hidden in a glass observation room, two people are sitting in front of various advanced monitors displaying views from different angles of Secret Training Place No. 5.

This room serves as the control center for the hosts, who are responsible for broadcasting live to all the viewers—both those in the stadium and those watching through the live broadcast across Fortress City 085.

One of them, a young woman with bright orange short hair, smiles widely. Her bright red eyes shine with enthusiasm as she speaks into a microphone connected to the entire stadium.

"Hello, everyone! How are you all doing?! I hope everyone is well! Today, we will witness the first event of the Sports Festival!"

Loud cheers echo throughout the stadium. Some students even wave flags to support their respective classes.

"And our first event today is..."

The atmosphere in the stadium tenses for a moment. Everyone holds their breath, waiting for the announcement.

"Plant Gathering!"

Shouts and cheers shake the stadium.

Pricilia Elica, the main host, gestures dramatically with her hand.
