It seems that this time, I have to prepare well!

[281.2 Chapter [-] Yangmou]

Hiroto Akihara made a decision and began to carefully prepare the lecture.

After all, this lecture is not only for the so-called director position, but more importantly, he wants to gain "face" for himself in the traditional literary circle.

Otherwise, there will be some writers of traditional literature who call themselves "teachers" on the surface, and then call themselves "high school students who have never gone to college" in private.

You must know that in my previous life, I was also a graduate student in the literature department of a key university, and my literary theory far surpassed this era.

After thinking about it, he sat at the table and began to write a draft of a speech that suited him.

A week before the lecture, he decided to put down other work and seriously write a lecture manuscript to prove his literary theory.

……

When Hiroto Akihara was writing hard.

Kanno Takuro was in an izakaya, sitting with a friend of his to discuss Akihara Hiroto's membership and speech.

"Professor Kanno, Iwama and I disagree with Hiroto Akihara's position as a director of the association. After all, not only is his education too low, but he is also just a newcomer."

"So in my opinion, this position should be yours."

The man next to him in loose black service said.

After saying this, he drank the shochu in his hand, and then poured another glass for the two of them.

Takuro Kanno took the wine glass and said in a deep tone: "But my teacher is very optimistic about him, thinking that he can bring a different future to traditional literature."

As he spoke, he clenched his hands tightly.

Outsiders can even see the veins popping out of his hands.

He is also very unwilling in his heart. The position of director of the Classical Literature Association is rotated every five years. Logically speaking, he should be in charge this year.

But I didn't expect that the teacher, who is the vice president, would recommend Hiroto Akihara during the meeting of the association.

Once Hiroto Akihara holds this position, as a member of Yuichiro Yoshikawa's faction, he can only give up his position as a director according to the usual practice.

However, he himself was very unwilling!

The man in black shook his head and said, "Mr. Yoshikawa is too old, maybe he has misread it. After all, from the perspective of traditional literature, Akihara Yuto is just a newcomer."

Takuro Kanno snorted, "But it's this newcomer who broke the sluggish sales of traditional literary works this year."

"Many people even say that he will bring revival to traditional literature!"

Hearing this, the man in black was also speechless.

Although he doesn't like Akihara Hiroto's education and status, but in terms of sales volume, Akihara Hiroto's works are indeed second to none in the traditional literary world.

By now, he even has many loyal supporters.

And many of these supporters believe that Hiroto Akihara can bring about changes in traditional literature.

The man in black thought for a while, and didn't continue on this topic. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "About Yuuto Akihara's lecture next week, is there any inner meaning?"

"What do you think?" Kanano Takuro glanced at him.

The man in black frowned and thought for a while, then said: "On the third day after the lecture, a regular meeting will be held within the association, and the next director candidates will be decided by voting."

"So, this lecture is meant to give Hiroto Akihara a chance to show himself, right? After all, it seems that many members still don't recognize his academic qualifications?"

Kanno Takuro nodded, then shook his head again.

"You're only half right. The lecture is giving Hiroto Akihara a chance to show himself, but the real decision-making power is still in the hands of those veteran writers who have voting rights."

"They don't care about Hiroto Akihara's education, they just care about Hiroto Akihara's sincerity and recognition of literature."

"So this time's lecture depends on how Akihara Yuto will choose."

"Choice?" The man in black was a little puzzled.

Takuro Kanno laughed, and then said: "Have you listened to me about the rumors of discrimination against Hiroto Akihara's academic qualifications within the association before, and specifically disclosed it to Ms. Shoko Akiyama?"

The man in black nodded and said, "Yes, but I don't understand why I told her specifically."

Discrimination against Hiroto Akihara's academic qualifications does exist, but he still feels a little strange when he tells Akiyama Sakiko inexplicably.

Kanno Takuro took a sip of his wine.

"The more people lack something, the more they want to prove something, and there is obviously a certain connection between Akihara Yuto and Akiyama Shoko."

"So when he learned that some people in the association looked down on his academic qualifications, would Akihara Hiroto come up with some literary theories of his own to prove himself?"

The man in black was a little puzzled, "Isn't he the kind of talented player who never went to college? What kind of literary theory can he write?"

Kanno Takuro gave him a contemptuous look, and then said: "Before he co-authored a paper with Shuichi Toyama from Kyoto University, didn't you know that it also talked about non-linear narrative writing techniques."

The man in black replied hesitantly, "Did he really write that?"

Academic flooding or falsification is nothing new in neon academia, or in academia all over the world.

Therefore, he believed that Shuichi Toyama deliberately "sent" an article to Yuuto Akihara for the purpose of friendship.

After all, there are gossip that Shuichi Toyama's daughter worshiped Yuuto Akihara as his teacher.

Takuro Kanno shook his head and said: "Whether he wrote it or not, he can indeed find some theoretical knowledge to put in the lectures. As long as he deliberately shows off these theories, he will undoubtedly achieve what I want."

"This?" The man in black didn't understand.

Talking about literary theory in lectures seems to be nothing new.

What purpose can this achieve?

Takuro Kanno continued to explain: "Didn't I say that, in the eyes of the old men in the association, they don't value any literary theory. What they value more is the thoughts of Akihara Yuto."

After a pause, he met the eyes of the man in black and said seriously: "You know, this lecture is set at the Faculty of Letters, University of Tokyo, and the main audience is those students."

After listening to these words, the man in black thought for a while, and then showed a look of enlightenment.

"If Hiroto Akihara can talk about high-level literary theories in order to show off his knowledge, then the educational significance of the lectures will be lost."

"At that time, he will undoubtedly be considered by the chairman as too young to be too impetuous."

"This also means that even with the recommendation of Mr. Yoshikawa, he is unlikely to be elected as a director, and can only become an ordinary member."

Kanno Takuro laughed, then drank another glass of wine.
