A middle school cartoonist

Chapter 519: Fear and expectation of the unknown

Except for Ajou Mumenha, who has just completed the third chapter of the manga "Ghost", all the mangaka who participated in [Super Smash Bros.] this time received the almost prophetic email from Makoto Takahashi!

"Silver-haired brother Fukuda, will Dio-kun finally put on the stone mask and give up his human identity?" This is an email sent to the silver-haired brother Fukuda...

"Hey, little Sea Otter, how are you preparing for the hunter exam? Two naughty boys with overflowing passion have met?" This is the email sent by Makoto Takahashi to his devout believer, Little Sea Otter...

"Ruko, it is said that Koro-sensei's [Tentacle Touch Head Kill] has the ability to greatly increase favorability. Have you ever used it on Aoi Ueno and the cute Mayuri? The result of the personal test is whether [Mayuri holds her head] is enabled. What about the "Good Ship" branch line, or the "Ueno Aoi Blackened Hatchet" branch line? "This is an email sent by a middle-class cartoonist who is burning with gossip, claiming to be a 'disciple'...

"King of Black Flame, congratulations to Izuku Midoriya, the little freckled male protagonist, who has finally evolved from mortal bones to a hero... Although I really want to say this, don't forget the "Railgun" you are responsible for! Eccentric Anything like that is absolutely not allowed!" This is Makoto Takahashi's friendly reminder to Shinizuma Eiji as an ally not to neglect the monthly serialization of [Makoto Shinkai] because he is busy with the creation of the manga "My Hero Academia". …

The whole process of Makoto Takahashi sending emails was not restrained and concealed by the arrival of Yoshida who received the manga manuscript. Instead, a certain second-level cartoonist explained the information contained in each email to Yoshida one by one... However, Takahashi Cheng's attitude is more unscrupulous than showing off!

"Use reasonable intelligence to speculate on what may happen in the future, and at the critical moment after two rounds, give the opponent the most fatal blow... This move is a superpower skill called [Predict the Future]!" Gao While Qiao Cheng was sending an email on his mobile phone, he said to Yoshida who kept twitching at the corner of his mouth, "Apart from super-powered Pokémon, the only ones who can master this kind of skill are people like me who have awakened [future tense] ] exists... So my beloved cat, as a mere human being, don't hold on to the impossible belief that "sooner or later I will master this skill as long as I practice hard"! Ha ha ha ha……"

"This kind of idiotic belief... I will not have it now, and I will definitely not have it in the future!" Looking at Makoto Takahashi who was laughing wildly, Yoshida curled his lips in disdain and complained loudly! Because he recalled the dark history of being tricked by a certain middle-class cartoonist, Yoshida just took the manga manuscript of the third chapter of the manga "One Punch Man" and did not look through it as anxiously as before. Instead, he was a little confused. Looking at Makoto Takahashi, he joked with a tone of schadenfreude, "Speaking of Cheng, are you sure you are really a man by doing this? Can you really guarantee that the other five cartoonists you speculated will submit the third serialization this time? Is the content of the words accurate? If there is any deviation in your prediction... Humph, I am looking forward to seeing such a scene! "

"My beloved cat, you are saying this to me who has a plug-in and can see through the future with the magic eye [future tense]... You are still at the level of [mortal wisdom]!" Regarding Yoshida Yan's face Makoto Takahashi was quite unhappy with the expectations revealed in his words! "If even this level of predictions were wrong, then I would have died at the hands of a murderer wandering around the city one night! If it weren't for the anti-mysterious attire of a white coat and divination, If the teacher's compatibility is seriously unfavorable... maybe there is no crazy cartoonist Hohoin Kouma in this world, but only the mysterious fortune teller Hohoin Kouma!"

"Since Cheng, you have guessed the plot of other people's comics, can you win the first place in this reader survey?" Although it is indeed unpleasant to be ridiculed and complained by Makoto Takahashi, But after all, Yoshida is the editor-in-chief of the manga artist Shoin Yoshima, and he still has a very sense of responsibility when talking about manga-related matters! so……

Don’t underestimate Yoshida as the editor-in-chief!

According to the theory of "know yourself and know the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger", Yoshida felt that since Takahashi Makoto could guess the contents of other comic strips, he should naturally have countermeasures... However, after Takahashi Makoto pondered for a moment, he shook his head with regret. He shook his head, and although he hadn't answered Yoshida's words yet, the meaning he wanted to express was already obvious!

"Eh? Why?" Because he hasn't read the manga "One Punch Man" yet, Yoshida doesn't have any basis for prediction at the moment... So, Although Yoshida is a little helpless and reluctant, now he can only turn to a certain middle-class manga artist who "seems to have everything under control"! "Logically speaking, Cheng, since you already know the plots of other comics, you should be prepared! How could..."

"My beloved cat, when I proposed the [Great Brawl] to the Commander, I said it before... At that time, I said, 'We want to have an upright frontal fight,' right?" Makoto Takahashi Yoshida stopped Yoshida who was about to say something with his eyes, and tapped the unfinished comic manuscript on the table with his fingers, "So even if I know that a certain chapter of other comics will be particularly exciting, I will not prepare anything specially... …So, it’s the same this time!”

"I understand what you mean! In your opinion, Cheng, because you have guessed the content of the third chapter of other comics, you feel that you are not victorious... Is there anything wrong with this?" Yoshida saw After Makoto Takahashi nodded in acquiescence, he immediately said the words he had prepared before, "But being able to speculate on the subsequent plot development of the manga based on the current serialized content... In a sense, this kind of behavior is actually not It’s cheating, but it belongs to your talent, Cheng!”

"Can you...?"

"No, the correct term should be 'talent'!" God knows why Yoshida can say words of comfort and encouragement while also madly complaining about Makoto Takahashi's [capricious and changeable] character in his heart! "Being able to see through your opponent's intentions and deduce the opponent's next move is a very amazing ability!! Cheng, you have spent your time interpreting other cartoonists' comics and spent time thinking about and guessing the subsequent plots of other comics... ...So if you use this ability, even if you really win, it is definitely not the so-called [victory without force]!"

Realizing that a certain chuuni manga artist had suddenly gone wrong, after asking for the reason, Yoshida originally planned to take the opportunity to make a guest appearance as a "spiritual guide" or "spiritual mentor" to save the chuuni manga artist who was lost on the road of life. Home, or to enlighten Makoto Takahashi who thinks too much... The opportunity was indeed used perfectly, and the persuasion also achieved [outstanding results] in practice, but the result...

"Actually, this is just a trivial problem..." Makoto Takahashi's words at this moment made Yoshida feel so depressed that he vomited blood! "More importantly, the reason why I chose to do this is to try my best to retain my expectations and fears about [the unknown]..."

"..." If possible... Yoshida really wants to drag out a certain middle-class cartoonist and shoot him for five hours at this moment!

"My beloved cat, a mortal like you won't understand..." Maybe it's because Yoshida's contemptuous eyes are too strong, or maybe it's because Takahashi Makoto suddenly entered the [life emotion] mode... In short , this time before Yoshida had time to ask, Takahashi Makoto had already started talking to himself! "Having fear and expectation for the [Unknown] is an indispensable and important condition for the survival of highly intelligent creatures such as humans!"

"Eh? What is indispensable for survival... shouldn't be material resources such as food and water, right?" an editor in charge asked seriously, but was met with a look of contempt by a middle-grade cartoonist...

Speaking of Yoshida, don’t you understand now? If you want to communicate normally with Makoto Takahashi, according to the principle of "equivalent exchange", the price you have to pay is to abandon the so-called "common sense"!

"Being afraid of the [Unknown], we can always remember our existence as mortals, and not be too arrogant when we are proud; only by having expectations for the [Unknown], can we be able to live in a long and long life In the endless trial called [life], keep working hard towards hope..." Makoto Takahashi smiled at the already sluggish Yoshida, and continued to inflict the famous persecution of [mental torture] on his editor-in-chief! "Although some people are still alive, they are walking like zombies because they have lost their fear and expectation of the [unknown]; however, although some people have died, their ideas have been passed down and their spirits will still last forever. ...So my beloved cat, you understand now! What I am more afraid of and worried about is spiritual death!"

"What you said, Cheng, makes sense..." Even though it was only for a moment, Yoshida's brain still crashed for a while due to overload! "But...does this have anything to do with the comics we're discussing?"

"Of course!" Makoto Takahashi looked at the troubled Yoshida and felt happy, with a satisfied smile on his face, "guess the subsequent plots of other comics, and then take the targeted approach of [avoiding bullying] The strategy... If I really do this, I will reach the state of "I have no opponent before me"! But at the same time, that will also be the time when the real death of the mad cartoonist Phoenix Institute comes!"

"The gap between worldviews...is really insurmountable!"

"My Familiar Cat, let me give you a hint!" Makoto Takahashi pointed to the manga manuscript of "One Punch Man" in Yoshida's hand, "After you have read the content of the third chapter, if you still have any questions, Then... the Phoenix Academy Jiuzhen, who is affiliated with the [Kangqi Psychological Consultation Room], will serve you wholeheartedly!"
