Here's the next chapter everyone. Enjoy! I'm also going to make a Smash Bros. fanfic so if you want to read it feel free to.
I do not own persona 3 or any products of Atlus.
"All right everyone, the guys are ready to show off their costumes and you know what to do. You must vote for who you think did the best cosplay. So without further ado, let's bring them out." The announcer said and the crowd cheers with excitement. Some girls were chanting Akihiko's name, which made Yukari and Minako sweat drop.
"First up let's bring out Hidetoshi Odagiri." Hidetoshi walks out of the side and the crowd gave a loud applause making Hidetoshi pleased. "Wow, a marvelous cosplay of Phoenix Wright. Looks like we're off to a good start. Next up, Kenji Tomochika. Come on out."
Kenji walks out wearing a yellow vest; black pants brown gloves, and wearing a blonde wig. He carries a sword around his waist and some of the crowd cheered and recognized the character. "Would you look at that? A very impressive costume of Guy Cecil from the Tales series indeed." The crowd was cheering loudly once more and clapping, less than Hidetoshi's applause.
Soon other contestants were called leaving Akihiko, Junpei, and Minato left.
"Man, there are some good costumes out there." Junpei said.
Minato and Akihiko gave Junpei a scary glare, which made him walk back a bit.
"Whoa, whoa I-I mean Mina-tan did a great j-job picking o-ours." Junpei raised his hands in defense.
"Okay then next up we have Gekkoukan's undefeated boxing champion. Please give a round of applause for Akihiko Sanada." The female population of the crowd was jumping up and down screaming and yelling. Akihiko did a deep breath and walked out of the side. All the women screaming got louder making some of the male contestants jealous of the boxing champion. Akihiko was somewhat happy he has a better chance of winning against Hidetoshi but was sure his fan girls are to bother him about it. "Wow! A marvelous cosplay of Lucario by our boxing champion." The women were now chanting Lucario, similar to the one in the actual game. Soon, even the guys in the crowd chanted along.
Inside the girl's room, Minako was proud of the costume once more. She giggles at Akihiko's awkward waving at the crowd. The girls with buns, along with some of the other female contestants were squealing for Akihiko. Yukari got somewhat annoyed but decided to let it go. Fuuka sweat dropped, Mitsuru was chuckling at Akihiko's fans, and Aigis kept her poker face.
"Next up, we have Junpei Iori. Show us what you got Junpei." Junpei's face lits up at the sound of his name.
"Good luck Junpei." Minato pats Junpei's shoulder.
"Thanks dude." Junpei grinned and puts on the Mtea Knight mask.
Junpei starts running to center stage with his cape flowing. He stops at the center of the stage, spins in place and raises Meta Knight's sword high. Junpei is grinning widely behind the mask. The crowd made an "oooh" sound and went silent. Junpei's grin starts to falter at the silence.
"Well you had a nice entry there. I would say that's a great costume, what do you think audience?" the announcer said.
The people said 'Yeah'; some said 'Woo Meta Knight'. Junpei hangs his head low and gets in line with the other contestants.
"Poor Junpei-kun." Fuuka said watching the TV.
"Even in a great looking costume, he still gets shot down." Minako sweat dropped.
"I almost feel sorry for the guy." Yukari said.
"Judging by Junpei-san's head hanging low, I would guess he is depressed." Aigis said.
"I agree Aigis." Mitsuru said.
"Well we have one last contestant everyone. He is somewhat well-known in the school so let's call him out. Our final contestant, Minato Arisato." The announcer said.
"He better be wearing the tiara." Minako muttered.
Minato at the side took a deep breath and placed the tiara on his head and slowly walked to the stage. Silence ensued as he slowly made his way to the center stage. "I know they're laughing at me in their minds." Minato thought. Then the crowd starts giving a strong applause and the girls were squealing (possibly even louder than Akihiko's) and the guys were fist pumping in the air. They started chanting "Marth" the same way as in the video game.
"Amazing! That is one great Marth costume! Nice choice Minato-san." The announcer said. Minato sighed in relief as no one is making fun of him. Hidetoshi had his arms crossed and was glaring at Minato while Junpei was muttering behind his mask saying how unfair this contest is.
"Yes! He wore the tiara!" Minako fist pumps as well.
Yukari was blushing and giggled at how cute he looks.
"Judging from the female screaming at the television, I would say the girls likes Minato-san's costume more than Akihiko-san's costume." Aigis said.
"I would guess that it's going to be a tie between Akihiko and Arisato." Mitsuru smiled.
"Okay everyone it is up to you now! You will decide who is our cosplay king of Gekkoukan. Please step in to the voting booth and choose your favorite cosplayer of the guys." The announcer said and told the guys to wait backstage until the votes are in.
All male contestants made their way to the back and waited. "Man, this contest is rigged. I didn't even get a single applause." Junpei whined.
"I'm just glad that this is almost over." Minato sighed.
"Same. I felt my eardrums were gonna burst from the crowd when I showed up. Yours too Minato." Akihiko said. Junpei hangs his head low again at how he didn't get cheers like they did.
Ooooh who's gonna win? Sorry for slow update, school and stuff. Next chapter soon.
