Gotta Go the Healing Route

Generally speaking, the titles and names of the creators of the top three newcomer awards will be marked on the cover.

The first winner of the Golden Prize will use the illustration of his work as the cover.

But this time the cover is more special.

It is divided into illustrations of different styles on the left and right sides.

The left side depicts a heavenly background of snow-white feathers scattered all over the sky.In the background is a girl wearing a black overcoat and an oversized military cap. The girl is carrying a satchel on her back, and she is leaning on a cane that is taller than her.

The illustration on the right depicts a dark and deep abyss, and a black-haired boy in white is falling into the abyss.

The two illustrations are separated by a trace of torn paper.

The name of the work and the name of the cartoonist are also marked on the two illustrations.

"After the Death" by "Rain Bie Chao", and "The King's Way" by "Wushan Cloud".

"What's the situation..." Daoist Zhicheng murmured blankly.

After Guino Aki handed the Newcomer Award magazine to the real person, he took out the same magazine from the bookshelf and opened the cover.

"Look at the title page. It is specifically stated here that this time there are two gold awards, so there will be no silver awards in the future, and we will go directly to the No.3 bronze award."

Pointing to the announcement on the title page, Yashu said:

"The notice issued by Shueisha said that in the final selection stage, the scores of the two works were the same. Regarding the two works, the judges gave unanimous praise. It is really impossible to choose which one is better, so this newcomer award will be a special case. Give two gold rewards."

"How could such a thing be possible..." Zhenren exclaimed.

"Whether it is possible or not, it is difficult for the judges to choose the best work, which shows that these two works are very excellent works."

"But that's not really something to be concerned about either."

Aki Takano continued flipping through the magazine in his hand, and turned to the page of the catalogue.

Here are the acceptance speeches of the selected authors, as well as comments from the judges.

"Look at this..."

Guiye Yashu passed the magazine in his hand to the real person, pointing his index finger at the brackets behind the name 'Wushan Yun'.

The ages of the cartoonists are indicated in parentheses.

"sixteen!?"

"This Wu Shanyun is only 16 years old?!"

Zhicheng's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Well. As mentioned above, she is a high school student, and she is a girl, not much older than us. The judges commented on her as a 'genius girl manga artist'."

"And it's a girl?!"

"Yup..."

Guishu nodded with emotion.

"A girl who is not much older than us can win the first place in the newcomer award for the first time. This is really..."

"I remember that there is a reward for being able to serialize directly in this magazine for the first name. In other words, this Wu Shanyun will soon be an official serial cartoonist, a real cartoonist."

Aki Aki's eyes followed the contents of the magazine, while reading out the contents:

"The judges' words: smooth and explosive rhythm, innovative painting skills, won unanimous praise from the judges."

"Following that is Wu Shanyun's acceptance speech: 'When everyone was playing video games, I worked hard to draw comics, and now it finally pays off, and I will continue to be active on Jump in the future.'"

"What an annoying guy." Hearing Wu Shanyun's acceptance speech, Zhicheng gave a cold snort. .

"I always feel that Wu Shanyun's acceptance speech is a mockery of my playing video games before."

Seeing the real person gnashing his teeth, Guiye Yashu gave a light touch, and comforted: "It's not too late for us to catch up now, not to mention that our grade is one year younger than Wu Shanyun."

"It's a matter of course."

Master Zhicheng nodded affirmatively, then put his eyes on the same magazine in his hand, and continued to read along with Wu Shanyun's information.

Immediately behind Wu Shanyun is the cartoonist who won the No.1 gold award with him - Yu Biechao.

There are no parentheses after the three words 'rain in the rain'.

"Did you choose not to announce your age? This Yu Biechao will not be the kind of uncle in his 30s or 40s."

Master Zhicheng thought of it maliciously.

It's really embarrassing to come to participate in the newcomer award when the average age is only about 40 years old when you are in your 25s.

Guiye Yashu nodded in disbelief, and continued to read the message behind the name of 'Rain Biechao'.

"The judges' comments on this author are: a wonderful and profound story, a beautiful painting style that spans the era, and the judges' unanimous praise."

"And his acceptance speech was..."

Guiye Yashu raised his eyebrows.

"I will convey to you with my next work..."

"Conveying the power of love and justice?!"

Chapter 49 Meet

"Send love and justice..."

Seeing this acceptance speech, Zhicheng couldn't help laughing out loud.

"The acceptance speech of this Gold Prize winner is very interesting... Maybe he is planning to draw a magical girl manga."

'Destroy you for love and justice...'

This is a famous line in the originator of magical girl manga "Magic Pretty Girl Ye Nai".

"How is it possible, the theme of magical girls is so cold now, and there is no room for innovation and development of that theme..."

While speaking, Aki Takano stretched out his hand to turn the page.Just as I was about to continue watching, I suddenly felt a cold gaze.

Looking up, the clerk and owner of the convenience store here is looking at the two directly at the cash register.

The meaning of that expression seems to say: If you don't buy it, you will get out.

Gui Ye Yashu nodded to the boss with a sneer, then turned around and said to Master Zhicheng:

"Really, let's buy this supplement too."

After finishing speaking, he put the supplement in his hand back on the bookshelf, and then took out the latest issue of the weekly Shonen Jump.

This Weekly Shonen Jump was delivered to the cash register along with the Newcomer Award supplement and two rice balls in the hands of Masato.

After paying, the two walked out of the convenience store.

"It's really stingy..." Zhicheng said to the owner of the convenience store.

"Actually, if we had the cheek to read it there, the boss probably wouldn't really drive us out. Of course, let's forget about that kind of thing."

Aki Guino said with emotion:

"It seems to be a serial cartoonist soon. If this is the case, at least there will be free weekly magazines every week."

"Isn't that why you want to become a manga artist?"

Master Zhicheng jumped away from Ya Shu and stared at him.

"How is it possible... I am a person with great ambitions."

The two returned to the 'studio' together, which was a room at the end of the corridor on the middle floor of an old apartment.

One bedroom and two living rooms, without a kitchen.

There are several large shelves in the living room of the room, and several of them contain many complete sets of comic masterpieces.The other shelf is filled with various figures of superheroes.Then there are three tables that serve as workbenches and a sofa.

Both Guiye Yashu and Zhicheng Zhenren are only third-year students in junior high school, so naturally they cannot be the real masters here.

Strictly speaking, the property rights of this studio belong to Zhicheng Zhenren's deceased cartoonist uncle.

After entering this studio, the two immediately threw their schoolbags at the entrance, and then sat down on the sofa.

"I really want to participate in the newcomer award..."

Zhicheng looked up at the lampshade above his head, and sank deeply into the sofa.

"But we have already missed it, and the next newcomer award can only wait for next year. Moreover, before that, we must first prepare excellent works."

As Aki Aki said, she took the newcomer award supplement in her hand.

"And before preparing the work, it is also necessary to appreciate the best works of the Newcomer Bounty Award and find out the advantages and absorb them."

"Let me take a look... Well, the first one is "The Way of Kings" by Wu Shanyun."

As he said that, Aki Takano stopped making a sound and devoted himself to reading, leaving Zhicheng to continue lying on the sofa.

After 10 minutes, Guiye Yashu raised his head.

Seeing Aki Akiyo's movements, Master Zhicheng, who was eating a rice ball, immediately handed over another rice ball.

"How is it, the work of this talented and beautiful girl?"

After receiving the rice ball from Zhicheng, Aki Guino put the supplement on the table, tore off the package of the rice ball, and took a bite of the rice ball.

"Um...."

After chewing the rice grains and swallowing them, Aki Takano said:

"Honestly, this kingly story isn't bad, but it's not good either."

"Oh?" Zhicheng became curious.

"The works that won the Golden Award have their own merits."

"Of course there are some outstanding points. The rhythm of this story is very good. The original somewhat mediocre plot is supported by the author's abrupt rhythm." Taking another big mouthful of rice balls, while chewing, Gui Yeya Treeside said:

"And the artist...you see."

Guiye Yashu handed the magazine on the table to Zhicheng Zhenren.

After receiving the magazine, Zhicheng directly skipped the story and quickly flipped through the pages.Soon he closed the magazine, and then pondered.

"This style of painting is very powerful. Although I am not a professional, I can feel the beauty contained in this style of painting. Although it still gives people a newcomer's immature feeling." After eating the rice balls, he licked his fingertips, Gui Ye Yashu said.
