章 175: The Day Of Fireworks

The day of the fireworks festival had finally arrived.

The streets outside Hero Academy's grand gates were packed with people. Stalls lined the roads, their colorful banners fluttering in the evening breeze, while crowds buzzed with excitement, browsing the goods or savoring freshly grilled delicacies. Even some sections of the academy's vast campus had been opened to the public, allowing the rows of food stalls to extend into its grounds. Residents from nearby neighborhoods mingled with visitors from far and wide, drawn by the event's reputation.

The Hero Academy Fireworks Festival had become a staple of the local culture, blending the extraordinary and the mundane. The academy, with its towering black buildings and high walls that often seemed unapproachable, used this event to foster goodwill with the community. Whether this was unique to Hero Academy or a common tactic among such institutions, Wataru didn't particularly care.
