Chapter 775 - Baymard Day

The morning came and the sun commander the stage, giving its full attention to the plan below it.

The morning hadn’t been fully born yet, but it already shows all potential to blossom throughout the rest of the day.

Upon the sunrise that lit the sky, the birds flew, the flowers bloomed and nature once again took the center stage things.

The birds flew through the ever-developing Capital city of Baymard, as if celebrating the glorious day.

And just like nature, everyone else was in celebration as well.

Because even though today was a public holiday, the roads and streets were still as busy as ever.

Yes!

The shops and most establishments were undoubtedly closed for the day.

But the people were still buzzing like bees.

Like a school of fish, they swarmed the entire city early in the morning.

Even the students from the Culinary & Bartending Academy we’re going crazy.

After all, they would be graded on how many customers they had by the end of the night.

.

"Dammit!

I knew I should’ve bought more seasonings.

What do we do?

The stores are already closed.

And if we lose, won’t our ranking be dropped?

No way!

There is no way I’ll leave the grade B villa and drop down to a grade C or F apartment."

"I feel you!

I’m trying to get to an A or S-grade villa, so how can I drop down?

What about my dream of becoming one of the academy’s elite 10 Giants?

If I give up now, how can I become one of the Gods of Cooking?

No way!

We have to get more seasonings!"

"Nooo!!!!!

How can I get assigned to set up my stall here?

This location is far away from the hot air balloon rides.

So isn’t this a disadvantageous way to start?

How is this fair?

How am I supposed to rank up?

F***!

I’m screwed!"

(×:TT^T:)

Some students felt helpless, while others felt pumped up instead.

Of course it wasn’t just them, as several volunteers and many others were currently preparing some festival games for the passerbys.

There would also be outdoor stalls that sold clothes and other items that showcased Baymard’s culture.

The festivities would go on throughout the entire day.

And by 9 P.M, the parade will begin.

Fireworks would go out, the light shows will begin and several illuminated parade floats that will cover the streets

Dragons, Disney characters, cultural beings and other popular characters will make their entrances in the parade show.

For sure, they would also be accompanied by many dancers, singers, and everyone else hat could make the crowd happy.

There would be dancers popping out of cakes, and trumpets playing.

Last but not least, Landon and the royals would be there as well, on one of the floats waving majestically to the crowd.

The entire thing would truly be a sight for all to see.

.

The day went by just like that, until it was finally 11 A.M.

It was time to launch the hot air balloon rides.

There were 12 launching spots in total that had 35 hot air balloons each.

So anyone could go to any launching site for the rides.

There were 2 poles 1 meter apart in front of each site.

And hanging on these poles was a massive red string connecting both poles.

Each launching spot had someone that was assigned to cut the ribbon... like Landon, Overseer Tim, School Principal Stiltskin, Doctor Gerson and so on.

Today, Baymard would once again make history!

The camera crews were there on all rights and everyone was anxiously waiting for the damn ribbon to be cut already.

"Look! His majesty is here!"

"What?

Where?

Ahhhhh!!

We actually picked the site where his majesty was?

How lucky are we?"

"Forget about that.

Why is the host talking so much?

Can he just pass the microphone and scissors to his majesty already?"

"Dude, what do you think this is?

A theatre show?

Hurry up, will you?!"

(*^*)

.

The entire audience was bubbling with impatience.

And even Jacob and his friends felt like stoning the host.

Bro, can’t you read the room?

All we want to do is fly!

If eyes could kill, the poor host would’ve been long gone, dead and buried.

The host on the other hand smiled bitterly before passing the microphone and scissors to Landon.

Landon only said 5 sentences before finally snipping the ribbon.

"Begin countdown in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1.

Baymard Day!!!!"

’Snip!’

"Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!"

’Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!’

Everyone’s heart almost leapt out of their chests from sheer glee.

They so badly wanted to get on the hot air balloons.

The host wiped the sweat off his face with his handkerchief.

"Alright everyone.

On this ride, you will be accompanied by what we call pilots.

They will look after you while you’re in the air, so always listen to them.

They will also give you guidelines to follow while in the air, so make that you pay attention.

That said, as you can see, we have hot air balloons with different basket sizes.

Some can only allow 3 to ride on them at once, while others can allow 10, 15, and even 25 of them at once.

So everyone can line up with their families as well.

Well... I know that many of you want to kill me right now.

So with no further ado, enjoy your ride!"

’Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!’

"Thank you and goodbye Mr. Host!"

"Whooooh!

Honestly, I thought he would never shut up.

These past few minutes felt like years to me."

"Eh?

You too?

I thought I was the only one who felt like that.

For a moment, I too want to rush up there and drag him away and strangle him to death.

How can he be so annoying?"

"-"

[The Host:... They told me to talk about safety and all that. So why am I the one taking the blame here? ]

As the crowd rushed away busily, the host stooped down and drew circles on the ground pitifully.

He felt betrayed.

(:Y^Y:)
