Emendation! At first I wanted to give here some romantic things, but I had to give up this idea. Why? Well readers have different tastes and preferences. And this story shouldn't favor any pairing group. So I decided to keep them in a safe, none romantic form.
Disclaimer! I don't own anything, except Yukihime.
''Hi! What's up?'' asked Yukihime when she left the stage. It was little break before the announcement of the voting results.
''Teeeeediuuuuum! I want to results!'' moaned Rune Slayer. Aishas put their hands to their face in so-called faceplams.
''Child...'' they sighed at the same time.
''What? I do not like to wait." snapped boy to witches.
''Take out your calendars and mark a date, because the first and last time I agree with a Flamehead."
''You guys are so impatient.'' sighed heavily Wind Sneaker, and Dimension Witch nodded vigorously.
''W-Well... And maybe a few words to the viewers? Who is eager?'' asked Yukihime.
''I know from reliable sources that no one has voted on characters ''Rena" and ''Raven". Despite the fact that I have not counted on votes I would like to express my deep regret for this reason.'' said Blade Master while he looking towards the cameras reproachfully.
''Agree. It hurt my feelings.'' added Grand Archer.
''How do you know about the results?'' asked surprised host.
''For the future-do not leave next to us envelopes with large lettering RESULTS.'' recommended Veteran Commander.
''W-What? So... You already know the results?'' asked surprised Lord Knight.
''Yeah. I, Veteran Commander, Blade Master, Grand Archer, Night Watcher, Wind Sneaker, Code Empress, Code Nemesis and Code Battle Seraph.'' listed Reckless Fist.
''These are predictable.'' said calmly Code Nemesis.
"Then tell us.'' demanded Void Princess.
''No. We do not want plunge ceremony even more.'' said Night Watcher.
''Even more?'' frowned Yukihime.
''Well, yes. Finally ... Who intelligent leaves an envelope with results close to the audience exposing them to the premature disclosure?''
After Code Battle Seraph words, Yukihime gone into the corner to emanate the black energy of sadness and embarrassment. Elemental Master heroically decided to go to her and cheer her up, and then Elgang conversation carried on.
''I think it was just a small mistake.'' said Iron Paladin.
''That shouldn't even happen.'' replied Code Empress.
"But yet it happened.'' sighed Deadly Chaser. ''But that's how it is, when fifteen years old girl leads the awards ceremony...''
''What do you think, will she continuing ceremony?'' asked Tactical Trooper.
Then headlights illuminated the scene and appeared a host with smile on her lips. As you can see she did not need too much time to leave the depression... Scanned the audience, cleared her throat and finally spoke:
''This is the second part of the Elsword Awards Ceremony! I thank all eighteen persons who sent in their votes. Namely:

I encourage you to further voting. Now let's get to the first part of voting. The Best Female Character!''
The audience began to scream, shriek, whistle and make other loud noises. All class of Aisha, Rena, Eve, Elesis and Ara entered onto the stage. Three girls went up to table with prizes and took three with subtitles 'The Best Female Character'.
''And the best female character is...''
Drums. Voltage. The audience and the people in front of TV stopped breathing. Some fell into madness. Host long savoring this moment, then opened the first envelope and announced result:
''EVE!''
Code Nemesis, Code Empress and Code Battle Seraph looked at each other and then went up to Yukhime. They took their statues and Yukihime gave microphone to Code Empress.
''Thanks for all the votes. It is a great honor to know that we have some fans.''
''We hope that you voted fully aware of your choices.'' added Code Nemesis.
''We will do our best to proudly represent this title.'' assured Code Battle Seraph.
There was a thunderous applause and all nominate the girl returned to the place.
''I would like to add that the Eve character received eleven votes. Aisha received six votes, and Elesis one. Congratulations to all.''
After Eves returned to their places were filled with congratulations from the rest of the class. Lastly they received first awards that were handed out at the ceremony. It was plus to their value...
After murmurs fell Yukihime took from the table with prizes another envelope, and on the stage lined up nine guys.
''Next category is ,,The Best Male Character". Twelve votes winner is... ELSWORD!''
There was a loud applause and cheers. Needless that he rest of the votes got Chung... Rune Slayer, Infinity Sword and Lord Knight came to Yukihime obtained their awards. The microphone went into the hands of Rune Slayer.
''Well... It's not a big surprise for me. Finally... I'm great, don't I?''
''Give me the mic, cocky idiot!'' Infinity Sword snatched the microphone and spoke.
''Oh c'mon, guys! Everyone knows that voting for Elsword character you mean me, right?''
''I guess it would be best if I will an utter.'' Lord Knight took microphone from his twin. ''It's a great honor to receive this awards. It shows that the effort put into becoming better not go to waste. We are grateful to all those who appreciate our efforts by giving us votes.''
The beginning of applause was a slow Rune Slayer clapping. Everyone rewarded speech of Lord Knight cheered. Rune Slayer one hand holding the prize, and the other slung over Lord Knight shoulder.
''I'm so glad that you are my comrade. You always know what to say, buddy.
Winners with pride and satisfaction slowly returned to their seats delighting in looks suspended on them. Especially enjoyed them view of Saber Knight and Pyro Knight staring at them with admiration. Yukihime give them moment of glory, and then picked up another envelope.
''It's this is a last category of first part. The best pairing. Be warned that to the last second I didn't receive clarify of two votes, so I didn't take them into account. Here is a list of pairings, which were cast votes:
Infinity Sword and Dimension Witch
Lord Knight and Elemental Master
Rune Slayer and Elemental Master
Lord Knight and Dimension Witch
Rune Slayer and Void Princess
Lord Knight and Code Empress
Infinity Sword and Code Nemesis
Deadly Chaser and Code Battle Seraph
After the announcement above class entered the scene. Most of them were nervous and stressed. Yukihime cleared her throat.
"This time we have a tie. Let me put it like this. Six by eight of these couples got one vote. However, the two got five votes. So winner couples are... Rune Slayer with Elemental Master and Infinity Sword with Code Nemesis!''
Mentioned couples approached to host and with blushes on their faces took their prizes. Yukihime with satisfaction handed the microphone to not as self-assured Rune Slayer.
''Well... Er... I really respect Elemental Master. She helped me with magic and the runes. I can always count on her. She's awesome woman. But we are friends. And it's probably will not change.''
''I agree." said Elemental Master. ''Rune Slayer is very strong person. He can combine physical attacks with magical attacks, and this is a big achievement. But I'm not planing to dating with him or something...''
''So I'm not good enough for you?!''
"You are too presuming, that's what!''
Infinity Sword snatched the microphone. Although the category was embarrassing he wanted to throw in his two cents.
''I want to say that Code Nemesis is first of all great fighter. Her attacks are really effective. Moreover, it is a great girl. You can talk to her about various topics. But I subscribe to the words of Miss I-know-it-all and Flamehead. We don't prefer romance in our team."
'' I do not know if there is anything more to say... Maybe just thank you for your votes? And I want to tell that I really appreciate the Infinity Sword, as a warrior, companion and most of all-as a friend. Only.''
All four of them with whistles and applause in the background returned to their place. There were already waiting for them, teasing from the rest of the group. Mostly Void Princess, Grand Archer, Wind Sneaker, Dimension Witch, Tactical Trooper, Deadly Chaser and Lord Knight. After calming the audience Yukihime spoke again.
