In practice, I originally just wanted to be a slacker.

If you want to submit an individual or group project, you must get approval from the student council.

This is also to prevent anyone from doing anything embarrassing that would lower the school's reputation.

These two formats of the cultural festival immediately captivated many students.

Especially for individuals, these are legitimate money-making projects, and as for start-up capital, that's even easier to say.

We're all students in the same class. Even if one person doesn't have enough money, we can just team up and chip in.

Anyway, the group can only have a maximum of ten people in a team.

After school, the students did not immediately discuss the cultural festival, but instead went to the gymnasium first, because today was the day the new student council president took office.

"Now, please let Student Council President Nagumo give his final remarks."

Nagumo's resignation was not made public, so the formalities still had to be followed. Therefore, Nagumo, as the former student council president, was to speak first.

While some students were puzzled, they didn't ask too many questions, since student council elections are usually held in October.

This year, however, it started a full month earlier.

“I am proud to have led the student council for about a year, and I am also very grateful. Thank you.”

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Nan Yun quietly stepped back to his original position. For him, saying even one more word would be a disgrace.

"Student Council President Nagumo, thank you for your hard work so far. Now, let's invite the newly appointed student council president, Tatsuya Kamio from the second year, to speak."

Upon hearing the host's words, Tatsuya Kamio stepped forward.

"I am Tatsuya Kamio from the second year of school. I am honored to take over the position of student council president at this time. Please take good care of me."

After a brief greeting, Tatsuya Kamio smiled.

"Unlike my predecessor, I don't intend to interfere too much with the current state of the school. Frequently changing the rules will only make everyone feel tired and increase their pressure."

Therefore, I do not plan to change some of the school's rules for the time being. The school will continue to use the previous standards and include individual abilities in the assessment criteria..."

After speaking for about ten minutes, Tatsuya Kamio gave a final summary and then ended his speech.

After the brief inauguration ceremony, apart from students who were going to participate in club activities, many students returned to the classroom to discuss matters related to the upcoming cultural festival.

Meanwhile, Tatsuya Kamio led the student council members to the student council office.

"Since the senior students in the third year are about to step down, I will be making new appointments for the student council next. The first one will be Katsuragi from Class 2-C."

"You'll be the vice president of the student union from now on; you can recruit a secretary to help you."

"Thank you for your trust. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Katsuragi calmly nodded and accepted the heavy responsibility.

There was no way around it; he knew far more about Tatsuya Kamio than the average person. To put it nicely, he was the vice president, but in reality, he was just brought up here to do the work.

"As for the other vice president..." Kamio Tatsuya looked at Takahashi Osamu from Class 1-C, "Based on the treasure hunt game a few days ago, Ishigami Kyo got another student council vice president position, and he transferred that position to you."

After you hand over your work to the third-year student, Kiriyama, you can take office. Similarly, you also have the right to hire a secretary to assist you in your work.

"Yes, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Seeing Takahashi Osamu, who seemed to be on steroids, Kamio Tatsuya spoke again.

"In any case, there is a lot that our student council needs to do for the upcoming sports festival and cultural festival, so I hope everyone will not slack off."

After making a brief work arrangement, Tatsuya Kamio left the student council office and headed towards the teaching building.

Back in class, the students who were discussing what to do at the cultural festival all looked at Tatsuya Kamio with curious eyes. Many of them didn't understand why he had suddenly become the student council president.

"You're back just in time. What do you think we should do for our cultural festival?"

When Ryuen, who was sitting on the podium, saw Tatsuya Kamio return, he immediately asked for his opinion.

"Do whatever you want, it's just a mere hundred class points anyway," Tatsuya Kamio said casually as he returned to his seat.

This is timely. Why fight to the death for a hundred points? There's a thousand points difference between Class A and Class B now. What's wrong with giving you a hundred points?

Why go to such lengths for 100 points? Things aren't like they were last year. Besides, everything should be done in moderation. It's a cultural festival; just have fun.

"So, for this cultural festival, everyone should just relax and have fun," Tatsuya Kamio said casually. "That's why I encourage everyone to participate in the individual competitions; after all, it's more lively with more people."

Besides, there might not even be another cultural festival tomorrow. This might be the last cultural festival of our lives, so don't you think we should enjoy it to the fullest?

After he said that, the students in the class got excited. This didn't seem so bad!

And Tatsuya Kamio is right, why should we risk our lives for a mere hundred points? This might be the last cultural festival of our lives.

However, how to implement it depends on Long Yuan's decision. After all, he is the leader of this class.

"Kamio is right, but I don't want to just hand over first place so easily." Ryuen first agreed with Kamio Tatsuya's words, and then expressed his own opinion.

"So we should just do what we're supposed to do, and you don't need to feel pressured. It's okay if you don't get a reward."

Feel free to express any opinions you have. It's not necessarily about winning; the important thing is for everyone to have fun.

"When it comes to cultural festivals, people usually think of food or haunted houses, these kinds of programs are quite common."

After Kaneda started, the students began to express their opinions one after another.

Then, items such as restaurants, haunted houses, mazes, cafes, concerts, and plays were listed, basically presenting a simple and easy-to-understand explanation.

"The event will run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. As for food, we can expect the adults in attendance to patronize the establishments as well; however, this could lead to some intense competition..."

It's more than just intense; this is the first cultural festival, and to play it safe, many classes will probably choose the food and beverage industry.

"We also have to consider the budget. Haunted house or maze shows can control costs after completion, but food and beverage shows will always cost more money."

"So what? Even if we're just playing for ourselves and using our own points, the school can't really say anything, right?"

"That makes sense. Anyway, it didn't say we couldn't cover the costs out of our own pockets, right? We seem to be quite well-off."

"Yes, yes, each person only has a budget of five thousand points, that's really stingy."

The students immediately agreed on this point: this is the benefit of having money.

Since moving up to the second year, the class has been able to earn more than 100,000 private points every month, and since last month it has been as high as 200,000 per month. Almost every student in the class has more than 500,000 in savings.

Therefore, the budget issue, which is a major headache for many classes, was simply ignored here.

In any case, doubling the budget should be enough, right? A mere five thousand points is nothing to any of you here.

Chapter 346 Unanimous Special Examination

The points rewards for the cultural festival are very conservative; there is no penalty even for the last-place finisher.

This is practically telling students, "Do it if you want to, it's okay if you don't."

One person might think this is a conspiracy by the school, but in reality, this is what a school should be doing.

This is a school, not society. There's no need for the school to push teenagers so hard.

Furthermore, the previous exam on the deserted island had already put considerable pressure on the students due to an accident involving someone.

If a severely punishing exam were to be held at this time, it could very well be too much for some students to handle.

This can be seen from last year's sports festival. Even if you end up in last place, you only lose a maximum of 150 class points.

This year, they didn't even bother to deduct points. It's surprising that the seemingly heartless school still has some human touch.

The current number of students in the second year is forty. Since it is the second year, the basic funding is five thousand per person, which is two hundred thousand. This includes some club activities and student council bonuses, so the total basic cost is about two hundred and fifty thousand.

Actually, this is not a small amount, considering that they are only holding a simple cultural festival, not opening a regular store. So this budget would be enough for large-scale events, such as haunted houses that require a lot of props.

Even if you wanted to open a temporary coffee shop, you would have enough for equipment, ingredients, and clothing. Well, of course, considering the prices at school, it would still be a bit of a stretch.

Overall, the school is quite generous.

This is different from the points awarded in exams. Points awarded in exams are not considered spent unless they are converted into goods.

This exam was a real test, with the total score for all three grades approaching three million.

Because of the announcement of the cultural festival, all sorts of proposals were submitted to the student council, or rather, to Tatsuya Kamio's desk, throughout the week.

The only good news is that there are only group and individual projects here. Class projects are submitted directly to the school for processing. After all, Tatsuya Kamio is also a student, and it would be unfair to them to know about the other students' class projects in advance.

Even so, Tatsuya Kamio's desk was piled high with all sorts of proposals.

The school originally only arranged for classes to hold programs, and the individual and group programs were added by Tatsuya Kamio.

So what is this?

Do it yourself?

So, Tatsuya Kamio immediately brought Katsuragi and Takahashi to the student council to help him with his work.

However, it's quick to process because most people's proposals are written on a whim, something they just came up with on a whim.

For example, there's a fried chicken business plan with only one sentence in its introduction: "Because fried chicken is delicious, let's sell fried chicken!"

Then came the fried chicken recipe I found online and how much it would cost, and at the end I emphasized how delicious the fried chicken was.

Upon seeing this, Tatsuya Kamio immediately thought, "What the hell is this?"

fried chicken?

Have you done it?

Are you planning to open a shop?

On the day of the cultural festival, the guests who come to the school are basically people in the know invited by the school. Most of them are from high society, and some may even be your future boss.

Do you really want them to eat something you made on a whim?

The most basic prerequisite for opening a restaurant is knowing how to cook. For example, when it comes to fried chicken, there are specific requirements regarding the type of meat used, whether it needs to be marinated, how to marinate it, what kind of cornstarch to use, the oil temperature, the frying time, and so on.

If you don't know how to make something, it's a small matter if you can't sell it, but if you do sell it, wouldn't that damage the school's reputation?

And what if some brilliant genius ate something half-cooked...

Don't dare to think. Don't dare to think.

This kind of low-quality proposal is not an isolated case. Tatsuya Kamio and his two friends have encountered quite a few of these. To be honest, it's like finding gold in shit, and it disgusts the three of them.

"If we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have suggested that students participate in activities in groups."

After finishing his last project for the day, Tatsuya Kamio leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"Huh? Was this a suggestion made by President Kamio?"

The first-year student, Takahashi Osamu, looked surprised.

Seeing him like this, Tatsuya Kamio's lips curled up slightly, and then he smiled.

"That's right. Originally, there were no group activities for this cultural festival. I suggested adding them, which is why these things ended up here."

Sigh, I guess I brought this on myself.

"No, President Kamio, please don't say that. I think it's a great suggestion that allows students to freely do what they want."

I think this cultural festival will definitely leave a very deep impression on our high school life, and even on our future.

Takahashi Osamu, his face beaming with excitement, said these words to Kamio Tatsuya.

But Takahashi-kun, that's not what I wanted you to understand.

What I want you to understand is: Wow, the student council president actually has this kind of power? That's amazing, I definitely want to be the student council president!

Then, with that in mind, I'll work incredibly hard!

Do you even understand?

Kamio Tatsuya was internally ranting, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he chose to vent his anger on these disgusting planners.

"Alright, Katsuragi and Takahashi, after you finish processing today's data, you two take the lead and post all those substandard proposals at the school gate."

Let all the students in the school take a good look at these people's masterpieces!

So the next day, two temporary blackboards appeared at the school gate, covered with a large number of personal proposals. As for why they were posted there, it was because they were not up to standard!

However, it must be said that after this move was made, the quality of individual and group proposals submitted improved significantly.

Although some of the plans are still not comprehensive, they are much better than the initial ones.

For this type of person, Tatsuya Kamio is naturally willing to give them some advice.

For example, when it comes to cooking, Kamio Tatsu would suggest that they first try making the food in the school's home economics classroom. If they feel that it is okay after tasting it themselves, then the student council staff can taste it.

If the food passes the taste test and safety measures are in place, the project can proceed.

For example, regarding haunted house attractions, Tatsuya Kamio also reminded them to take safety precautions, as some people may experience stress reactions, so medical personnel should be on standby.
