Almighty painter

Chapter 10 Revenge on the Demon King

"People cannot be generalized."

When 12-year-old Masakazu Tanaka lost to Katsuko Sakai who just turned ten years old in the children's calligraphy and painting competition for the first time, he was not convinced.

Until he saw the award-winning works published in the newspaper.

He understood, either someone ghostwritten it, or else—there are still some geniuses in this world.

Fiasco.

……

For Tanaka Masakazu, every time he sees the other party's quiet porcelain doll-like face, it means the beginning of his fiasco.

If the average person encounters this kind of thing, or else their confidence will be frustrated and they will have self-doubt.

Otherwise, the desire to compete with the other party would have been extinguished early.

But Tanaka Masakazu has never been a person who only works hard on one road.

An aboveboard victory is also a victory.

A treacherous victory is also a victory.

His father, relying on the practice of this sentence all his life, has evolved from being ugly, poor, not loving dogs, and talking with a bat on the street to being ugly, but covering three seafood. In the fish market, Team Leader Tanaka of the third generation of Gokudo sells millions of yen of fish every day.

Even the district councilors who come to the house to win votes can sit together, drink and laugh.

After confirming that he had no way to rely on black box operations to get rid of Katsuko Sakai, a super genius who was hailed as the once-in-a-century in the Japanese painting circle, in a serious competition, he decided to hold a competition by himself.

Don't think it's funny, there are a lot of dark-minded people in this world, but there are not many people who have ideas, actions, and the ability to put them into practice.

Relying on the champion of "Hyogo Prefecture-The Beauty of Seafood Painting Award" ("Hyogo Prefecture-Yisuke の Beauty Painting Award"), Tanaka Masakazu easily killed one vote in seconds under the operation of his father and congressmen. Excellent high school students and painters of small-town scroll kings were admitted to Tama Art University, which is famous for its strict admissions, as an exemption from entrance examination.

This time in Myanmar, Tama Art University is one of the cooperative universities of the project, and it is also an important golden opportunity.

The total number of people in the project is limited. Originally, one carrot and one hole, only students who are about to graduate in their junior or senior years have the opportunity to participate.

But Tanaka Masakazu has learned to use "adult experience" to deal with this kind of problem.

After he treated the school's boy student council president to a treat, and a few fun times at the kabuki booth, his name was added to the project list.

Masakazu Tanaka, who has mastered methods beyond the rules, feels like the omnipotent Zhuge Kongming in "Three Kingdoms" or the famous military strategist Hanbei Takenaka in the Warring States Period, simply omnipotent.

It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and he had already followed the professors in the school to Yangon.

But I learned that the local painters in Myanmar, who have always had the least sense of presence, suddenly hoped to add a quota of young painters to participate in the project.

Originally, there were quite a few people in the project. Considering that the other party was a coward, the professors changed his badge of Tanaka Masakazu from an artist to a staff member after discussion.

The gold content here is completely different.

After the end of this kind of project, the Myanmar government will send a special letter of thanks or a special engraved tablet, and each official painter participating in the project can engrave his name on the commemorative stone tablet with gold lacquer.

In the world of calligraphy and painting, being able to rank alongside a master like Cao Xuan, even being the last one is a very good qualification.

This is the same as a seventh-tier actor who becomes a sixth-tier actor after a couple of scenes with a certain celebrity.

This is also the reason why the number of official painters has been fixed long ago, and if one person is added, one person will be missing.

Although the staff can also mention a sentence in the resume, this is similar to whether your name appears in the column of the author of the paper or the column of special thanks, which is completely different.

What was originally well-gilded suddenly became an ordinary practice.

When Tanaka, who is the best at operating in the dark, found out that his place was robbed by others, he couldn't believe it, but he still had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Excuse me? Who are you?"

Gu Weijing didn't know that he had already offended him to death.

He is very inexplicable now, looking at the guy who looks like the popular actor Shun Oguri who suddenly appeared beside him with eyes like an idiot.

The Sakai brothers and sisters beside them also looked at a loss.

Sakai Katsuko shook his head towards Gu Weijing, indicating that he did not recognize this strange face at all.

"Miss Sakai, finally... we... meet again."

Masayoshi Tanaka didn't even look at Gu Weijing, he looked down at Katsuko Sakai with a deep tone.

Under the blessing of the halo of outstanding students of Tama Art University,

He felt like Wang Daoman's male protagonist at the moment, after experiencing repeated failures, he finally stood up to a high position and walked in front of the big devil again... If only the theme song of "Evangelion" was in the air at this moment Such passionate music would be even more perfect.

"Who are you."

Sakai Tsunachang rolled a pair of dead fish eyes, "Does my sister know you?"

"I don't know you anymore, I... I am the winner of the Seafood Beauty Award, a student of the Tama Art Academy where your father, Professor Sakai, is Masakazu Tanaka!"

Tanaka didn't find it strange that the Sakai siblings couldn't recognize him, because he discovered early on that the art circle is based on appearances.

He took a look at his father Tanaka's team leader's pitted and scarred face, which smelled like a fish guy, and his disfigurement could be regarded as plastic surgery, and he knew that he would not have any inherited handsome gene.

He is a decisive person. After judging that there is no future for an unknown young painter who looks like the evil spirit of Huoyun, he went for a medical aesthetic surgery right after graduating from high school.

No wonder Gu Weijing felt that he was a bit like Oguri Shun. As the most popular man in RB, he was originally an important template for plastic surgery hospitals to choose.

"Tanaka...Masakazu." Sakai Katsuko repeated the name.

Do you remember, Demon King!

Remember the name of your defeated general?
You wouldn't have thought that after so many years, I'm already a student of the most famous art university in RB.

Tanaka Masakazu watched the other person's face, waiting for a look of surprise and admiration on her face.

"Well, I have to say, is this Demon King really cute?"

Masakazu Tanaka turned his head slightly to let the sun shine on his side face, fully revealing his nose bridge raised by the doctor's filler and his stubble with a manly blue beard.

"Sorry...Mr. Tanaka, I don't know you. Seafood Awards, what kind of cooking competition is that?"

Sakai Katsuko shook her head in confusion, and frowned slightly, "And I was talking to someone else, what you just did was really rude."

Tanaka Masakazu's face immediately turned cold.

"Hmph, is this the arrogance of a once-in-a-century art genius?"

With a stinky face, he didn't dare to radiate the anger in his heart on the other party, and turned his head to look at Gu Weijing.

It's really irritating.

Tanaka Masakazu carefully checked Gu Weijing and his grandfather Gu Tongxiang who replaced him.

It's just a household registration painter who borrowed an unknown name in the world and selected a general among the local dwarfs in Yangon.

Had it not been for the Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar, even a small painter like his grandfather would not have participated in such an international project at all.

He didn't know what the other party had done to make the big devil who had always been unattainable in his eyes praise him.

"After all, she is a young girl, so she is easily deceived."

He thought to himself.

"Gu Weijing, right?"

He called Gu Weijing by his name in not-so-proficient Chinese, "I'm sorry, but I'm an artist, and my respect is only for seniors with real skills. As for you—"

"—this Rangoon native. Do you really consider yourself a painter?"

Masakazu Tanaka turned his head and looked at Gu Weijing arrogantly, emphasizing the words "Natives of Yangon".

"What's wrong with your mind? Whether I'm a painter or not is none of your business."

This man is crazy.

Gu Weijing didn't know how he provoked the other party. He was a little angry, but he didn't want to spend time with this kind of person.

He stood up, ready to leave here.

"Sure enough, I'm guilty."

Tanaka Masakazu nodded secretly, and with a turn in his mind, he had an idea.

"You and your grandfather Gu Tongxiang are just as unappreciated."

At the moment when his body was intertwined, his lips moved slightly, and he spoke softly.

Gu Weijing nodded without changing his face, and then punched him in the stomach.

"Beatings! Beatings! Some hooligans are beating foreign students! Police! Police!..."

Tanaka clutched his stomach and fell to the ground, screaming and rolling.

There was a bit of real pain in his eyes, after all, Gu Weijing really punched him in the stomach, and more of it was secret joy.

Tanaka Masakazu originally planned to provoke him, but he was afraid that the other party would not do anything.

No matter how chaotic Myanmar is, beating foreign scholars and students invited by the government cannot be easily suppressed.

Looks like he hasn't gone to college yet?
Just this punch
He is confident that he will bring a case to the other party with a hopeless future. A good art university will not have students with beating records and violent tendencies.

Even for the last time, Tanaka felt that the other party should be completely unable to stay in the project.

Boy, you are too young.
