Yoba Academy: 8:30am
Y/N POV

While walking throughout the school, I take in the sights of fellow students preparing for the Yoba Culture Festival. The some of attractions include: A Cat Cafe, A Food Stand Contest, Haunted House, and Various Gym Activities.

Student A: Hey L/N-san can we borrow your height? We need to reach up there.

Y/N: Sure, let me get that for you.

Student B: Thanks so much! I guess being tall has its benefits right?

Y/N: Need something on the top shelf? I'm your go to person.

Student A: I heard your gonna preform on stage on the last day of the festival with Peaky P-Key.

Y/N: That's right, you girls gonna attend?

Student B: Of course we are! We are like the biggest Peaky P-key Fans!

Y/N: Then I'll see you girls at the concert then.

Student A: Bye L/N-san!

As I made my way towards the gymnasium, I saw Rei and Noa's class setting up a Traditional Tea House

Class 1-C "Meiji Era Tea House"

Noa: Hello there cutie.

Rei: Hello Y/N, did you come to see our tea house?

Y/N: Hey girls, I was passing by when I saw your classes exhibit.

Noa: Would you like to do a taste test of traditional tea and sweets?

Y/N: Yeah, I would love too.

I was seated on a tatami mat floor with a classroom converted into an old Japanese style home. Rei sat across from me preparing the tea using traditional tea ceremony practices, while Noa placed a plate of Dorayaki in-front of me.

Y/N: Say, are these from Fukushima Sweet Shop?

Noa: Yes, How did you know?

Y/N: I can taste the cane sugar your father uses instead of your average table sugar.

Noa: Good for you Y/N, you must have a well developed pallet.

Y/N: Thanks...I guess.

Rei: Here you are Y/N, traditional green tea from Shizuoka Prefecture.

Y/N: Wow, you went all out on the tea leaves. How did you pay for these?

Rei: Our class spent a lot of our funds on the leaves itself, and the sweet are free of charge thanks to Noa-san.
