Volume 12 Chapter 56: 

Once the raffle finished, everyone could leave as nothing else needed to be said about it. However, some people were saddened that they couldn't win. In the back of the exchange ticket stall, that was where all the winners came. Keith smiled as he handed the items, "Here you are, Lucky Winners." He handed them in order. 

"Woohoo! I got myself some variant meat!" Othniel cheered as he raised the clothed meat up. It was like a treasure. How his ears wiggled as he held it in the air like a legendary item was majestic and weird at the same time. 

"..." Keith shook his head. Despite how he acted, the other winners were the same way. It wasn't a surprise since they obtained a variant of meat. From how everyone talked, the variant was too powerful! Now, it was time for the bones and the stone. That was when people came up to get them. It was pretty normal and ordinary. 

The last item was the teddy bear, which surprised Keith the most. He couldn’t help but ask, “Kaiser, you like teddy bears?” This was the one he was most surprised about. Kaiser, the vice guildmaster, was a stuffed animal lover.

“...Is it odd?”

“No! It’s fine. I’m an animal lover, so there’s no need.” Keith laughed. He was in the same boat as the vice guildmaster. Instead of his love for stuffed animals, Keith liked fluffy animals. He couldn't help but snuggle Mir and Lei at night as he slept. 

Kaiser smiled as he hugged the bear, “What plush. I never thought it would be like this.” The fur of the variant was something. His hands were absorbed into the bear. Black hole. That was the only way to describe it. But Keith laughed, 

"Yeah, when I fought against it, I couldn't believe how soft it felt." He was too shocked. And it was warm and cool at the same time! It was the perfect snuggle toy. 

"Indeed." Kaiser grinned.

"Deputy Headmaster Sohma, can you bring them away?" Sohma was the one to secretly move them. 

"Yes, please follow me if you wish to leave now." Othniel and Kaiser were the only two who were pretty right since they were too powerful. 

That was when the others started to leave after getting their items. 

“Alright. Now that the prizes are all handed out, let’s go, Muriel.” There was one final place that they all needed to go. That was not the end, as there were many students there as well. Cadmus and the other instructors were all standing on the podium, 

“Alright! Everyone! I think it’s time for you guys to know the scores of what’s going on!” Cadmus shouted, “For starters, in the fourth year, the one who has obtained the most revenue is S-class! Not only that, they had also earned themselves the most popular!” One by one, Cadmus began to announce each year's winner for each category. 

Finally, the last year. 

"And for our first years! We have an upset of the century! Reigning as both the most earned and popular section, F-class!” 

When that was said, the F-class started to cheer as they raised their hands in victory. That was to be expected. They had been working their asses off to get to the top. But that was not enough. Despite seeing everything that happened, there was this sense of doubt.

But it was no longer there as they cheered. All that hard effort they had done was all worth it! Coen was in tears, while the others were quite the same. Olin held his fist tight as he stared at everything and everyone. It was a victory for all of them.

“And I’m not done! In terms of venue in total, Year 3 class S is the winner!” Cadmus started to match them against one another. 

“And the one who won on design and creativity, year 1 class F!”

“Sam! You did amazing!” Keith and the others rubbed the human’s head. Sam and the rest of the art students ground like there was nothing else in the world as they worked all day and night. 

“It was a group effort.”

“And for popularity, 1st year F-class won it. And it was pretty hands down.” Cadmus roared. And that only caused the F-class to roar even louder. But that was not the only thing as the other students from the 1st year were clapping their hands as they did so. It was out of respect as the F-class were the ones to help them despite the issues. 

“And this shall conclude the end of the azure festival! I thank everyone for giving it their all this year!” Cadmus grinned as he closed it down. But that didn’t stop F-class’s fervor!

“We really did it!”

“Did you see how everyone was staring at us?”
