He glanced at Toyama Miho, and asked in a doubtful tone: "If you participate, do you plan to contribute the article you wrote last time?"

Toyama Miho nodded, "Yes, I have made a comprehensive revision to that article based on your opinion, Master."

Hiroto Akihara closed his eyes, recalled the content of that article, and found that there were still many possibilities for winning.

The article written by Toyama Miho before was a social reasoning that exposed the evils of society, and the irony contained in it surprised even him after reading it.

In addition, as an academic journal, "Reasoning Literature" is the organizer of this award, which means that the grade of this award will not be very high.

In other words, in terms of the number of participants and the difficulty of winning, it is definitely not as good as the "Rookie Award for Reasoning Literature" organized by the Reasoning Literature Association.

Hiroto Akihara thought about it for a long time, and thought it would be good to let his disciple try it, so he encouraged him: "Then you go try it, and remember to send me the article to read again before submitting the manuscript."

"Yes, I understand!" Toyama Miho nodded seriously.

After talking about this topic, Akihara Yuto asked the waiter to bring food, and treated his disciple to a hot spring meal.Then he asked the front desk to arrange a special car to drive Toyama Miho home.

Looking at the car body that disappeared into the night, Akihara Hiroto clenched his fists.

This disciple of mine knows that he will make his debut as soon as possible, and he can't be too far behind!

……

A conference room in the editorial office of the Journal of Reasoning Literature in Tokyo.

A group of people gathered around the conference table to discuss the upcoming "Modern Reasoning Newcomer Award".

"In addition to the four teachers who have already decided to invite Wada Nobu, Morioka Yuho, Takada Tomohisa, and Seto Tamae, which writer should be invited as a judge?" said a man with gray hair.

Someone suggested: "How about Mr. Keito Nakata? His recent serialization in "Tokyo Literature" has won praise from many book reviewers."

Another person retorted: "Isn't that appropriate? Mr. Tamae Seto is already the author of "Tokyo Literature", so inviting him again is suspected of repeating, and I heard that the relationship between the two teachers is not very good."

Someone took the call: "Then Masaki Furuya? His work "Detective Umura" is now very popular."

The white-haired man shook his head, "I tried to contact him before, but his responsible editor said he wasn't interested in these."

He actually concealed some information, that is, the teacher Masaaki Furuya had asked for an attendance fee of 200 million yen, but he refused this request.

After hearing this, everyone on the field expressed their opinions in a hurry.

"Why don't you ask the Reasoning Writers Association to see if they have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

"Isn't that appropriate? After all, we're not holding a reasoning literature newcomer award!"

"Then why don't you find a professor of literature from Tokyo University or Peking University to be the judge?"

"I don't think it's appropriate, after all, the existing judges are all writers."

"Isn't there no suitable candidate? Then what do you say?"

The white-haired man cleared his throat, coughed, and said, "I think, why don't you invite Mr. Akihara Hiroto, the author of "Guhata Ren Saburo"?"

After a pause, he continued to add: "First of all, there is a certain gap between his age and teachers such as Wada Nobu, which can better reflect the word "modern" in literary appreciation. Secondly, his works have also been made into film and television dramas. It has a certain reputation among the public.”

Everyone on the field commotioned for a while, and then discussed whether Akihara Hiroto's qualifications were sufficient, and finally made a decision-invite Akihara Hiroto to be the fifth judge of the Newcomer Award.

Soon, an invitation letter was sent to Akihara Youren's home...

[Chapter 218.217 The so-called fairness and position]

Hiroto Akihara had just returned home from Aichi Prefecture when he found the invitation letter in his mailbox.

After reading the contents of the letter, he looked at the line "Modern Reasoning Newcomer Award Jury" on the letter and fell into deep thought.

Should I agree to this request to be a judge?

Generally speaking, when a writer is invited to serve as a judge, it is often a recognition of his qualifications and achievements. If he is still considered a newcomer, no one will invite him at all.

But if Toyama Miho also wants to contribute, would it be inappropriate for her to be a judge?

But having said that, it seems that I can use this invitation letter to get some inside information for his disciples? !

He went to the phone and dialed the committee number on the invitation letter.

After waiting for a while, the phone was connected quickly, "Hi, I'm Hiroto Akihara, is this the modern reasoning newcomer award jury?"

"Yes," a young female voice came from the other end of the phone.

The female voice asked again: "Teacher Qiuyuan, do you decide to accept our invitation?"

Hiroto Akihara did not answer this question directly, but said: "I'm still considering it, but I would like to ask, which other teachers are currently serving as judges for the newcomer award."

The female voice hesitated for a while, but still said: "At present, there are four teachers who have been confirmed, Wada Nobu, Morioka Yuho, Takada Tomohisa, and Seto Tamae."

Hiroto Akihara recorded the four names on the note next to the phone, said "thank you", and hung up the phone because he needed to think again.

Looking at the four names on the paper, he was actually a little embarrassed. He didn't expect to ask the names of the judges so easily.

However, from this point of view, it can be seen that the award of "Modern Reasoning Newcomer Award" is not very valuable.

If it was the "Newcomer Award for Reasoning Writers and Association Award", no matter how I asked, the association would not disclose the name of any judge before the official review, even for other judges.

After all, doing so would allow some of the judges to collude with each other, making it easier to manipulate the results of an award.

Having said that, the negligence of the "Modern Reasoning Newcomer Award" also made me a beneficiary.

After getting the specific list of judges, I can predict the result of this award.

Akihara picked up the pen, circled the four names on the note, and recalled the relevant information of these judges in his mind.

He Tianxin, I met once before at the gathering of the Reasoning Writers Association. The other party was very old and his hair was already gray.

But even though he is old, he is very imposing, with an old-fashioned feeling, and he belongs to the spokesperson of the radical faction in the Benge faction.

Morioka Yuho, a rare reasoning female writer.

It is said that when she won the Newcomer Award, the other party was a judge, but it seems that her position is also more extreme, and she belongs to the same faction as Wada Nobu.

Takada Tomohisa, a social reasoning writer, met him once when he was in the association, but he didn't say much.

Seto Yuzhi, the moderate faction of the original school, is an old acquaintance, so there is no need to think about it.

After carefully analyzing the positions and backgrounds of the judges on one side, Hiroto Akihara frowned.

If it is such a jury, Toyama Miho wants to win the newcomer award this time, it is only possible that she is just a flower in the well.

I've read that work of hers myself, and although it's wonderfully written, it's still a socialist work in essence.But this time, among the 5 members of the jury (1 to be determined), 3 of them have been confirmed to be writers of the Benge School.

Among them, Wada Nobu and Morioka Yuho are radical writers of the original school, and they will definitely not vote for her.
