Chapter 658: Command Center: The Student Council Puppeteers



While the main stage buzzed with an excited crowd enjoying the music performances, in the command center of Yukihime High School, the atmosphere was intense yet controlled as the student council members managed the bustling club festival. The room was a hive of activity, illuminated by the soft glow of the massive touchscreen map that dominated the central table. This map, the technological heart of their operation, was connected to the school's surveillance cameras, sensors, and newly installed currency exchange machines, allowing the council to monitor every corner of the campus in real-time.

Vivian, the calm-headed student council president, stood at the head of the table, her gaze fixed on the live map. She exuded an air of quiet authority, her sharp mind processing the influx of data and directing her team with unwavering focus. Despite the mounting pressure, she remained composed, a steady presence in the whirlwind of activity.

Aurora, the vice president, was stationed next to Vivian, her eyes darting between the map and her own tablet. She was the communication hub, ensuring that the council's directives reached the right people at the right time. Aurora's calm demeanor mirrored Vivian's, but there was a warmth in her interactions, a steady reassurance that kept the team grounded. Carolla, the treasurer, a lively blonde with an infectious energy, was seated nearby, her fingers tapping rapidly on her keyboard. She was responsible for the financial logistics of the festival, ensuring that every club had the resources they needed. Her bubbly personality lightened the atmosphere, even as she managed the complex financial flows of the event. Carolla kept a close eye on the currency exchange machines, making sure each was stocked with Yuki Notes, the festival's currency.

"Vivian, machine D-4 near the West Entrance is running low on Yuki Notes," Carolla reported, her tone still upbeat despite the urgency.

"Send a restock team immediately," Vivian responded calmly, her voice cutting through the room's ambient noise. She tapped on the map, zooming in on the location to verify the situation. The map displayed the dwindling reserves of the machine, confirming Carolla's assessment.

"I already sent the reposition," Carolla chimed in, already relaying the message to the restock team via her tablet. Her fingers moved swiftly, her communication clear and efficient, "But due to the high amount of people in the campus pathways, it will take a while for them to arrive."

Everyone nodded in understanding, they couldn't do much about this issue.

As Carolla sent out the alert, a new issue flashed on the map-a red icon indicating a traffic jam in the campus parking lots. Umaru, the council secretary, and a lively girl with a rich family history tied to the school, noticed the alert first. Her family had been one of the school's founders, and she took her role seriously, eager to uphold her family's legacy.

"Vivian, traffic's backing up in the North Parking Lot," Umaru said, her voice tinged with concern. She zoomed in on the area, the map revealing the congested entrance and the slow- moving lines of cars.

Vivian studied the map for a moment before issuing her command. "Brenda, coordinate with the campus security to direct traffic. Open up the South School Staff Parking Lot for overflow and have some of the security team guide vehicles there."

Brenda, the council's chief of justice, was a model of efficiency. Her stern demeanor and sharp mind made her the perfect enforcer of order. She picked up her radio, her voice firm as she communicated with the security personnel.

"Security Team Racing Rabbit, this is the command center. Do you copy?"

"Yes, we copy, command center"

"We have a traffic situation at the North Lot. Redirect incoming vehicles to the South Lot and expedite the flow. I'll monitor from here," she said, her tone leaving no room for misunderstanding.

As Brenda managed the parking situation, Hanako, the adorable public relations representative and social media manager, was busy crafting updates to keep the festival- goers informed. Hanako's idol-like charm and bright demeanor made her the face of the festival online. Her laptop was a flurry of activity as she composed posts and updates. "Everyone, I'm letting the attendees know about the parking changes and reminding them to use the shuttle service," Hanako announced cheerfully, her fingers flying over the keys. She added a few hashtags and hit 'send,' her posts quickly gaining traction among the festival's followers.

Just as Hanako finished her update, an alert pinged on the map-a yellow icon indicating a technical failure at one of the smaller performance stages. The sound system had gone down, leaving the performers in a lurch and the crowd restless.

"Technical issue at the East C3 Stage," Aurora reported, her eyes flicking to Vivian for instructions.

Vivian didn't hesitate. "Carolla, do we have spare equipment?"

Carolla checked her inventory. "We have a backup, but it's currently in use at the administration center."

"Transfer it," Vivian decided. "We'll need to manage the delay, but the performance can't be canceled. Aurora, inform the affected performers and the audience about the delay. Hanako, update the schedule on social media."

Aurora and Hanako sprang into action, each taking on their respective tasks with practiced efficiency. As Aurora relayed the situation to the performers, reassuring them that help was on the way, Hanako quickly updated the festival's social media channels, informing the public of the delay and the reasons behind it.

In the midst of handling these technical challenges, another urgent alert appeared on the map —this time, a flashing red icon indicating a medical emergency near the main stage. A visitor had collapsed, likely due to the heat and excitement of the festival.

Umaru was the first to spot the alert. "Medical emergency near the main stage. We need to get help there now."

"Activate the nearest medical team," Vivian ordered, her voice calm but firm. She tapped the screen, pulling up the nearest medical stand and dispatching the team.

The map tracked the movement of the medical team as they navigated through the crowd, their progress displayed in real-time. Aurora watched intently, ready to provide additional support if needed, while Vivian monitored the situation closely.

The medical team arrived swiftly, their bright uniforms visible on the live feed as they reached the fallen visitor. The crowd parted to allow them through, and within moments,

they were administering aid.

"Medical team is on-site," Aurora confirmed, her voice steady.

"Good. Make sure they report back when the situation is under control," Vivian instructed, her eyes never leaving the screen.

As the medical situation stabilized, the other issues began to resolve as well. The traffic in the North Parking Lot started to ease as security directed vehicles to the South Lot. The currency exchange machine was restocked, and the East Stage's technical issue was rectified, allowing the performance to proceed with only a minor delay.

Throughout it all, the student council members worked in seamless coordination, their individual strengths complementing each other perfectly. Vivian's calm leadership, Aurora's efficient communication, Carolla's financial acumen, Umaru's vigilant oversight, Brenda's authoritative control, and Hanako's cheerful public engagement all came together to ensure the festival ran smoothly.

As the immediate crises abated, the command center settled into a more relaxed but still alert state. The festival continued, the crowds unaware of the intricate ballet of problem-solving that had taken place behind the scenes. Vivian allowed herself a brief moment of satisfaction before turning her attention back to the map, ready for whatever challenge would come next. The team had weathered the storm, and the festival was a success because of their unwavering dedication.
