When the buses stopped, Alice got off without looking back once more. She disappeared into the crowd and I couldn't see where she was going, but I didn't think anything about her, as I had decided on the bus.
Everyone on the buses got off and got into a random line. Meanwhile, I looked around.
We were in a big area, a really big area. Apart from us, I could see many other buses belonging to other academies and universities. People I didn't know were getting off and lining up like us.
Students, workers... in other words, almost everyone who wanted to participate in this festival gathered here. The actual site of the festival... was another huge area not far from us. No... it was like a small town by itself.
