God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 1144 - 330: Love Offense and Defense Battle! (Part 2)

Principal Hermes smiled slightly and said to everyone,

"The distance to our academy's annual tradition, the High Table Banquet, is about to begin...

"As the conclusion of the spring semester of the second half of the academic year and a symbol of the end of the whole academic year, we have also welcomed the 47th High Table Banquet.

"Here, we want to especially thank the 47th Student Council for organizing this year's High Table Banquet!

"Everything you see is created by their management... let's give them a round of applause!"

As soon as these words were spoken, applause thundered from below.

But in the entire front stage and entire student seating area, not a single member of the Student Council's management team was visible.

Yan Huan was supposed to give a speech, presumably in the backstage.

Sakuragi Hitomi had hidden herself and naturally wouldn't appear casually.

But... where did Yahashiki, Yuanlina, and Ashley go?

Everyone looked around but couldn't find them, yet in the shadows, monitoring the whole scene, Sakuragi Hitomi showed a puzzled expression.

She looked around but couldn't find them, yet as she retracted her gaze, she saw Ashley and Yuanlina sneaking back to their seats.

"Hmm?"

But inside the venue, Hermes' warming-up speech continued,

"Then, as usual, we'll start with the speech by this year's Student Council President Yan Huan, everyone welcome!"

"Clap clap clap clap!!"

In the enthusiastic applause from the front stage, the shadow of Yan Huan, standing in the backstage shadows, slightly revealed themselves.

Then, holding a speech script and carrying a box, he walked up to the podium.

His appearance in a suit, with his hair styled, immediately drew cheers from the girls below.

"President Yan!!"

"President!!"

"Huh, why is the President carrying a box?"

"What's that?"

Cheers and discussions rose and fell as Yan Huan stood on the stage, swept his gaze over the entire school's assembled students below, and took a wireless microphone handed to him by a staff member beside him.

"Thank you..."

Then, he held the microphone tightly, took a deep breath, and looked towards the students below.

"..."

Under everyone's gaze, he glanced at the flowery speech written by Sakuragi Hitomi in his hand.

Then, he crumpled the speech into a ball of paper.

"Rustle rustle..."

The sound of the paper crumpling followed the microphone, instantly causing the students below to exclaim in confusion.

In the shadows, monitoring everything, Sakuragi Hitomi pursed her lips.

"Before going on stage, after much deliberation, I feel that everyone just got through such a tough finals week, so let's skip the formal speeches, shall we?"

Yan Huan smiled slightly as he walked to the front of the stage, asking in this manner.

"That's right!!"

Receiving a response, Yan Huan put down the box he was holding and continued,

"The so-called High Table Banquet was intended from its inception to create a setting for equal and harmonious communication between faculty and students through a 'banquet'...

"Our Student Council also seeks to embrace its essence, wanting to provide everyone with an interesting and relaxing social environment.

"So, for the remaining time, I don't want to say any extra formalities..."

Saying this, Yan Huan raised a finger on stage,

"I just want to play a game with everyone here!"

Game?

Upon hearing this, the students below, unaware of the situation, thought it was a scheduled part of the event and showed expectant expressions.

After all, before it started, most of them were ready to endure a long series of dull speeches one after another.

Then, after those old folks finished talking, the dance would begin, and they would officially start to relax.

So, they had originally been secretly using their phones in the audience.

But as soon as Yan Huan spoke something so uncharacteristic, most people looked up curiously at him.

"Game?"

In the shadows, Sakuragi Hitomi also muttered to herself that this was not good.

Although she was in charge of all the proceedings, the whole banquet was ostensibly organized by the Student Council.

As the President of the Student Council, if he adds some impromptu elements, except for insiders, everyone else would think it's reasonable.

If the President intends to disrupt the High Table Banquet with this, I...

"Yes, game!

"It's called... 'The Student Council's Secret Treasure'!!"

However, Yan Huan merely reached into his pocket and took out a card slightly larger than his palm.

The card had a black background with "Yuanyue Academy 47th Student Council" written on one side and an unnumbered serial number.

"Everyone, please look at the card in my hand... one side has a serial number, and the other has a phrase I've left and an Easter egg about the Student Council...

"Before the evening started, I hid ten cards at random locations on the island!"

Yuanlina raised her hand below as soon as he finished speaking, cheerfully chiming in,

"The game's objective is!!

"Within this hour and a half before the dance starts, try to find as many as possible!!"

Yan Huan smiled slightly and lifted that gigantic box in his hand.

He opened it, revealing it to be filled with an abundance of Linmen banknotes!!

"Wow!"

"How much money is that?!"

"A whole box!!"

This money was the box of US dollars Alvira had previously given him, exchanged into the equivalent currency of Linmen, plus fifty thousand he obtained earlier...

"Here is five hundred thousand; each card found entitles you to take one-tenth of this!

"And the redemption isn't simply about finding the card, Vice President Sakuragi is also hidden on the island now!

"The method of redemption is: bring the found card to Vice President Sakuragi and recite the Easter egg on the back to her to claim your prize!"
