Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

After all, Sarah had already achieved her goal in this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.

Ultimately, the result of this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival competition was...

Champion: Makoto Haramura, "Hakugun Academy"!

Runner-up: Ikki Kurogane "Hagane Academy"!

Third Place: Stella Vermillion, "Broken Army Academy"!

This concludes the discussion.

Toudou Touka was eliminated in the quarterfinals, while Kurogane Shizuku and Kyoutokuhara Kanata both failed to reach the quarterfinals and were defeated in the round of 16.

Incidentally, Lianzhen Academy's best result is the top sixteen.

And so it was. The top three spots were swept by Po Jun Academy. Xiao Academy not only failed to live up to its boast at the start of the competition, but its results were also quite poor.

Prime Minister Moon Shadow's plan to use dental implants also fell apart.

His delusional dream of achieving Japanese independence was nothing but a pipe dream.

The official awards ceremony will now take place here.

Therefore, almost everyone who could attend, including the participants, staff, audience members selected by drawing seats, political figures, and high-ranking officials from the "Alliance" base in Japan, came here.

Everyone here is dressed in elegant evening gowns and suits.

Wandering through the banquet hall on the top floor of the hotel.

"It's fully fermented by now, isn't it?"

Makoto Haramura raised his wine glass and gently clinked it against the glass in Kanata Kitoku's hand.

"of course."

"Look, it's such an important matter, yet the Black Iron family didn't send a single person."

"They are trying to suppress it."

Makoto Haramura simply scoffed at this.

"Can they suppress it?"

Chapter 141 Exposes the Evidence of the Black Iron Family's Crimes

"It would be a miracle if they could suppress it."

"If they can suppress it, then all my preparations over this long period of time will have been for nothing."

Guide Yuan Bifang tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and smiled gently.

"In that case, how about making this banquet even more lively?"

With his hands in his pockets, he looked at the lights that had come on on the stage and the gleaming awards podium.

"Of course, let's announce everything right here on the spot."

"Let the Black Iron family fall from the clouds."

Gui Deyuan took a step back and gently patted Haramura Makoto's chest.

……

On the awards stage.

Standing at the highest position, and right in the center, was Noel.

To his left is the runner-up, Ikki Kurogane, whose face still shows a hint of fatigue, and to his right is the third-place finisher, Stella Vermillion, whose name is marked with the number 3.

"What were you saying to the former vice president of Guide just now?"

The clothes around his waist were being tugged, and Makoto Haramura's previously composed facial expression suddenly collapsed.

"Did you see it?"

He truly hadn't expected Stella's eyes to be so effective.

The place where I and Kanata were standing was already in the very corner of the banquet hall. At that time, Stella was already standing on the podium, with countless members in between.

Stella actually saw it.

"Yes, I saw the former vice president of Guide take pictures of you."

What was she saying to you?

Stella's suspicious nature was quite evident in her eyes and brows.

Actually, she didn't know what was wrong with her, why she was always like this.

But she always had a vague feeling that her man was in danger, as if some kind of fishy smell was always surrounding him.

Therefore, Stella's vigilance is higher than ever before.

"Don't worry, it's something important."

"Didn't I already tell you about the one who overthrew the Black Iron family?"

Makoto Haramura's brow twitched. He had already seen Stella take a step back and sniff his scent.

"Is it really that one?"

Stella still looked skeptical.

"of course."

"Wait a minute and you'll find out."

It seems that this is the only way to appease Stella for now, and I also need to be a little more careful myself.

Fortunately, he had used magic to eliminate his own scent before going on stage. If Stella had actually smelled Kanata Kitokuhara's scent, things might not have ended so easily.

"Ok."

Stella nodded reluctantly, at least outwardly quieting down.

The stage had quieted down. Kurogane Ikki had been keeping to himself and not getting involved in the conversation between Stella and Haramura Makoto.

The audience had long since fallen silent.

Long before the banquet, the attendees had stopped their conversations, stood in their places, and waited for the awards ceremony to begin.

"boom--!"

With that loud noise, all the lights in the venue went out suddenly, to the point where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Then, the next beam of light pierced the darkness.

The focused beam of light shone directly onto the stage, illuminating the three people standing on the podium.

The uplifting and exciting music immediately rang out; it was the opening song specially created for this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival by Japan's top diva, who was specially invited by the organizers.

The other light shone on the ladder that Makoto Haramura and his team climbed up to receive the award.

It was Shinguji Kurono!

Today, she made a rare exception by taking off her usual women's suit and putting on a pure black evening gown.

Compared to her previous masculine attire, Shinomiya Kuroko exudes a more feminine charm today.

"Alright, everyone, contestants and audience members."

"Now let's hold the award ceremony for this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival."

Another beam of light shone from the roof, illuminating the left front of Haramura Makoto and his group.

It was a girl wearing a long red dress.

Her long, bright red hair cascaded down to her waist, while her full breasts and slender waist perfectly accentuated the curves of her clothes. The skirt fell to her knees, revealing two ivory-white legs.

She was wearing red sandals, and her ten delicate toes were painted with red nail polish.

Combined with her alluring face and seductive red lips.

She is a very sexy woman who knows how to use her strengths.

"I'm Tsukuyomi, and I'll be hosting tonight's awards ceremony as usual. Good evening, everyone."

As the woman spoke into the microphone, she gave a slight bow, awkwardly showcasing her advantages once again.

Then she raised her little hand and pointed to Shinguji Kurono, who was under the light.

"This is Ms. Shinguji Kuro, the principal of Hagun Academy."

"Today, she is serving as an award presenter at our Seven Star Sword Dance Festival Awards Ceremony, presenting awards to our contestants."

Sparse applause immediately broke out from the audience.

The light shining on Shinguji Kuroko also moved along with her.

The audience, who had just quieted down, started talking again.

"Why is the award being presented from the world clock? Isn't that inappropriate?"

"Yeah, why not the head of the Japanese branch?"

"In the past, the award presenter was always Minister Yan of the Black Iron faction, right?"

"Didn't you see the news? This afternoon, the scandals of the Black Iron family were all over the place. Maybe they're embroiled in scandals."

"Is it really that serious?"

While the audience was buzzing with discussion, Shinomiya Kuro walked ahead, followed by three beautiful women, and came to stand beside Haramura Makoto.

"Well, did you hear the murmurs from below the stage, Principal?"

Makoto Haramura maintained a serious expression, his lips not moving, but his voice clearly rang out among the four people present.

"heard it."

"So, are you ready to take on the position of branch manager of the International Magic Knights Alliance in Japan?"

"Of course it's already done."

Shinguji Kurono, like Makoto Haramura, did not open her mouth to convey her voice.

The conversation between the two could only be heard by the four people present; even the three maids holding the trophy behind them could not hear it.

"Alright, let's begin the awards ceremony now. First, please let Principal Shinguji present the award to our third-place winner, Stella Familiar."

Shinguji Kurono took the bronze sword-shaped sculpture from the hand of the maid behind her.

"Stella Familion, a contestant from the Po Jun Academy, comes from the Kingdom of Familion, an ally of our 'Alliance'."

"She is the second princess of the Familion royal family. In order to become a powerful Blademaster, she traveled across the ocean to our country to train. She has overcome many obstacles here, and her strength is evident to all. Although she only won the third place, please give a round of applause to Princess Crimson Lotus."

All doubts and questions have temporarily disappeared, and everyone is now cheering for Stella.

After all, the awards ceremony has already begun, and no one will bother with such trivial matters that are unrelated to them.

The trophy was handed to Stella, who waved back, responding to the applause from the audience.

"Next, we will present the award to our Iron-ranked player, Ikki."

As Tsukuyomi's voice rang out again, the light that had been shining on Stella shifted to shine on Kurogane Ikki.

"Kurotetsu Ikki from the Pogun Academy is a knight of our nation, whom we are proud of. He is also the great-great-grandson of our hero, Kurogane Ryoma."

"However, Kurogane Ikki, who was born into the Kurogane family, did not inherit the powerful talent of a Blade Master."

"His F-rank Blade Breaker stats, including magic power and physical strength, are all F-rank. It's fair to say that Kurogane Ikki was practically deemed unsuitable to become a Magic Knight from birth."

"But he did not yield. The indifference of his relatives, the suppression of his family, and the contempt of his classmates after arriving at the academy did not make this man yield. He won one after another against opponents that others thought were absolutely impossible to defeat, and with his exquisite swordsmanship, he earned the title of 'Uncrowned Sword King'."

"Now, please let Principal Shinguji present the runner-up trophy to Kurogane Ikki."

The host's passionate and eloquent voice echoed throughout the venue.

Compared to the introduction of Stella earlier, it was clear that the host incorporated more emotion into his speech when introducing Ikki Kurogane.

"Seriously? Has this host gone mad?"

"Yeah, is something going to happen later? Otherwise, how could this host dare to talk like that?"

"Isn't she afraid of suppression from the Black Iron family?"

The murmurs from the audience rose again, and almost everyone was staring at Tsukuyomi on stage with astonished looks.
