A middle school cartoonist

Just as Yoshida expected, after the new issue of "Steel" was released, a storm of phone calls launched several attacks on the editorial department!

Eighty percent of the calls were related to "Steel Refining"! Among them, the most talked about thing is about Al using his soul in exchange for Edward's right arm. Many readers are very worried about this plot. The reason for calling the editorial department is nothing more than asking about the result. Edward finally defeated the villain in the flask, and Al was finally rescued...

Although he has read the content of the last chapter before, it is impossible for Yoshida to disclose these contents to readers, which involves some confidentiality issues! Of course, Makoto Takahashi will not leak the plot, which Yoshida is very relieved about! In response to the calls from readers, other colleagues in the editorial department who don’t know the content can only comfort them with kind words, so that readers can wait for the next chapter with peace of mind!

"It seems that Phoenix Academy's fierce "Steel" can take first place again this time!" Yujiro complained to Yoshida unhappily, "But Yoshida, although the result is good, this kind of situation happens often. I have wanted to change my job several times! It’s so troublesome!”

"Well... this can be regarded as a sign of the popularity of "Metal Steel", haha!" Hattori, the sea urchin head, laughed to lighten the atmosphere. This survivor of the phone storm was still trying to explain to the phone. Yoshida said with a shy look on his face, "I've also read this episode of "Steel", and I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but when I saw the scene where Al sacrificed his soul in order to get Edward's arm back, I I couldn’t hold it back either…haha!”

"As an editor, you should review comics before they are serialized. Naturally, you should have the ability to deal with problems that may occur after comics are serialized in a timely manner!" Editor Aida joined the discussion angrily, his tone full of endless resentment, "Now Yoshida, as the editor-in-chief, did not expect such a thing to happen at the beginning. This was a dereliction of duty on his part!”

"...Yes, you will know after the next chapter is published...Well, that's it!" Yoshida just put down the phone, with a look of pain and happiness on his face! Sure enough, the content of the chapter that made me burst into tears before was also very effective for readers in terms of damage! Regarding Aida's remarks, Yoshida curled his lips in displeasure and complained in a vented manner, "I fucking knew this would happen a long time ago! After all, I have all the manga manuscripts from "Steel" to its completion!"

"The following content is..." When several colleagues heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all stared at Yoshida, with curious expressions on their faces!

The expectant eyes also possess absolute lethality! Especially when he saw several grown men trying to open their eyes wide, with curiosity shining in them, Yoshida instantly felt a chill! Although being cute is a way to survive, it may not be suitable for everyone, especially editors who have passed their thirties!

"Well... I'm going to discuss with Cheng about the ending..." Yoshida used a poor excuse to activate his escape skills and got rid of the disgusting uncles' offensive in time!

When Yoshida came to Takahashi Makoto's house, he saw Takahashi Makoto sitting cross-legged on the ground with a huge bowl full of wine in front of him. He was talking to someone on the phone. From time to time, he raised his head with a smile on his face. Take a few sips from the giant bowl!

"I said... Cheng, what are you doing?" The group came back from the surprise, their mouths twitched wildly, and they looked at Makoto Takahashi with a black look on their face, "It can't be that you are in the middle of an association or something. Call?"

"...There is still the content of the last chapter! Isn't it too early to start preparing for the wedding with peace of mind now?" Ignoring Yoshida's question, Takahashi Makoto put down the bowl, with a look on his face that reminded Yoshida The smile of some black history, "Brother Muzi, have you ever thought about it, if the content of the last chapter does not win the first place... I thought I was in front of the door of hope, but after opening the door, I found that Will fall into the abyss of despair... Such contrasting cuteness is indeed the most loving existence!"

"It turns out I was talking to Li Byung-yin!" Yoshida was a little surprised this time! At first, I thought that Takahashi Makoto was just talking to himself on the phone as usual, but now... Staring at the darkening expression on Takahashi Makoto's face, Yoshida helplessly shook his head. He shook his head. Although he said he didn't care, he was still a little bit concerned about Li Byung-yin's departure...

The sixth sense sent a warning of danger. Yoshida, who followed his body's intuition, squatted down without hesitation. A wave of coldness passed through Yoshida's head dangerously and dangerously. The loud noise from behind made him turn around and look back. Yoshida swallowed unconsciously! The wooden sword pierced into the wall, and the half of the sword that kept shaking was obviously a wooden sword that didn't look sharp at all! Yoshida, who had just had a brush with death, clearly understood that if his reaction had been slower, something would have definitely happened! Well, human life is a matter of great importance!

"Hey! Did you miss..." Makoto Takahashi muttered in a low voice, slowly lowered his right hand, and after taking a big sip of wine, a dangerous smile appeared on his face, "My beloved cat, it seems Your reaction ability has indeed improved a lot after a period of practice!"

"A-Cheng, do you want to kill me?" The frightened Yoshida instantly entered Spartan roaring mode, "Don't think I didn't hear what you just said..."

"My beloved cat, I want to kill you... so what?" Makoto Takahashi admitted with no shame! "You were so immersed in your own inner world that you didn't even notice that I was on the phone! Humph! You must be slandering me in your heart! Hehe... My Dependent Cat , I wonder if you, who will be tortured next, will regret that you subconsciously dodge at that time, and regret that you did not choose death in time!"

"Cheng, don't be so cruel and scary! You wouldn't do that at all!" Yoshida launched a scornful taunt, with an expression of 'hit me' on his face, staring at Makoto Takahashi provocatively, and the two fell into In the confrontation stage! After a long time, Yoshida couldn't bear the pressure at first, and spread his hands helplessly, "Okay Cheng, let's stop this boring game! Now let's talk about the content of the last chapter of "Steel"!

"Is there anything else to discuss?" Makoto Takahashi heard Yoshida mention "Steel", and the look on his face became even more unhappy. He stood up and walked to the wall, taking the wooden sword back into his hand, "The position called No. 1 , will be unshakable! Before the summer comes, "Steel Refining" will become a gorgeous firework, and its dazzling and charming light will be engraved in the soul of mankind! And I, the Phoenix Academy, will also take this opportunity to Awakening the third sealed sword of the monster era, haha...drink hahahahaha..."

After many readers have been waiting with tears in their eyes, the last chapter of "Steel Refining" has finally been published!

After Al banished his soul, in order to completely defeat the villain in the flask, Greed, the incarnation of greed, took the opportunity of being devoured to complete the most powerful move of a domineering pure man [Sacrifice], and before dying, he will The villain in the flask was charred all over and helped his teammate Edward take down the head!

Many readers couldn't help but feel sad about this result. Not to mention Al, who had already left this world, and Glid, who finally understood what he had been pursuing, and what he had to do to kill the villain in the flask. The price is really too high! The comic series does not end here, but turns to the armor left by Al! This is what readers are most concerned about. After all, Al told Truth before that his brother Edward will definitely come here and take him back!

But...what will Edward have to pay?

It is impossible to resurrect the dead. The two Edward brothers paid a heavy price for this. This is also the beginning of the entire comic! Facing Al's already tattered armor, Edward's teammates proposed to use the remaining Philosopher's Stone in exchange for Al's soul, but Edward rejected it! Hohenheim, who later appeared as a loving father, also made the same suggestion, hoping that Edward would use his last piece of the Philosopher's Stone to exchange for Al!

"Idiot, how could such a thing be done? It's our own fault that our brothers lost their bodies! To regain Al's body, you must not use other people's lives. Haven't I said it many times? Besides, why do I need you? Risk your life?" As many readers expected, Edward rejected Hohenheim's proposal without hesitation, and at the same time he severely reprimanded his father!

Although readers had previously known that Edward would refuse such a proposal, seeing Edward refuse without hesitation in the comics slowly relaxed their hearts, especially Al fans who have always been supporters! Because if Edward really exchanged Hohenheim's life for Al's body, according to Al's character, he would definitely have self-blame and pain accompanying him for the rest of his life!

"Because I am a father!" Hohenheim's answer made Edward's expression freeze instantly. When readers saw this, they were stunned at first, and then were captured by Hohenheim's strong fatherly love! "It's not a question of need or reason, because you are my most important family, so I hope you can be happy! The reason why your body is like this, I am also responsible for you letting it go... I'm sorry, I have already lived. It’s been long enough... At the last moment, let me do the most important thing that is consistent with my fatherhood!”

"What stupid words are you talking about, damn dad! Don't say such things again, or I will beat you up!"

In the comics, Edward looked so arrogant with tears streaming down his face, but this time the readers who watched it couldn't laugh at all, because many people's eyes had begun to blur! This family scene between father and son is no less impressive than the previous scene where Al sacrificed himself in exchange for Edward's arm!

In the comics, Edward keeps thinking of ways; outside the comics, readers are also thinking about a way to get Al back without sacrificing anyone. Is this really possible? However, as in the comics, Edward began to draw human bodies on the ground to form formations, many readers became a little confused. Could Edward, who was at a loss just now, have already thought of a way? Of course, many readers are a little worried, worried that Edward will be like Al, sacrificing himself in exchange for his brother Al!

"I'm going to go..." Edward stood in the middle of the alchemy formation, clasping his hands together, with a confident smile on his face, "Fullmetal Alchemist, the final refinement!"

Edward's statement seemed to have an ominous premonition, and anxious readers quickly opened the next page of the comic manuscript! Countless readers have only one thought in common...don't do anything stupid, Edward!

Edward stood in front of a heavy door. The delicate stripes on the door were full of mystery in every stroke! Although readers can recognize at a glance that this is the Door of Truth, they still can't help but admire this delicate painting!

"Hey, come and take your brother Al back? But how do you take someone away? What's the price? Do you have to sacrifice your body?"

"Isn't the price here? It's very huge..." Edward showed a smile on his face and pointed to the door behind him, "This is my Door of Truth... In other words, how you use it is mine. Freedom! Did I say it wrong?"

shock! Shocking! Big surprise!

Regarding Edward's choice, many readers, like Truth in the comics, were briefly surprised and then couldn't help but marvel! Edward actually thought of this method! Many readers were very excited. After all, they had never guessed that the price Edward chose to pay would be his ability to use alchemy!

"Indeed... Behind this door, there is all the knowledge of alchemy... But that's why we are so at the mercy of others! Because we saw some truth, we thought everything can be solved with alchemy... But at that time Wrong, it’s just arrogance!”

"There's no such thing as degeneration. I will die like an ordinary person from the beginning. I can't even save the little girl who was turned into a synthetic beast after filing a case. She's a tiny human being!"

"Even if there is no alchemy, everyone is still here!" Edward smiled, clasped his hands, broke his Door of Truth into pieces, and then, as readers saw, took Al back!

Regarding this result, although readers are a little regretful that Edward will not be able to use alchemy from now on, but as the Edward brothers insisted, no one's life was sacrificed. Although this ending seems a bit regretful, it is definitely in line with most of the Readers’ thoughts! So when they saw in the comics that the two brothers returned to their hometown and were hugged by Wenli who was crying with joy, many readers couldn't help but shed tears!

"Lessons that are not accompanied by pain are meaningless! Because if people don't sacrifice something, they can't get anything! But after enduring this kind of pain and overcoming it, people will gain nothing. A tough heart of things! Yes, a tough heart of steel!”

As the final words of "Steel", it naturally fits the theme of the entire comic! Although there are many touching things in the comic, different readers have different understandings. However, after reading this passage, every reader will unconsciously think of the plot of "Steel" and fall into memories. In the mode!

On the day that "Shounen Jumk" released the final chapter of "Steel", Makoto Takahashi received calls from several manga artists!

"Congratulations on the completion of "Steel"! Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Phoenix Academy. It's very exciting!" Eiji Niizuma still has the same character. If you like it, you will say it directly, and if you want to challenge it, you will not shy away! "Although the timing is unlucky this time, I will definitely defeat you next time, Phoenix Academy Teacher!"

"Hey! Acheng, you did a good job this time! I read the content of the last episode... Although I'm not willing to give in, I still think it's yours in the first place!" The caller this time was the hard-spoken and soft-hearted Futian. Brother, that arrogant tone is really cute! "But it's just this time... next time my new comics will definitely defeat you!"

"Congratulations on completing "Steel", Makoto Takahashi..." As if she was afraid of the pollution of the middle school radio waves, the well-educated Miss Cang Shuhong just said a simple greeting and hung up the phone!

As for the little sea otter, I planned to come to the door in person to congratulate him, but I was caught by Yoshida before I even went out and dragged him back directly. At the same time, I also confiscated my mobile phone and other props that can communicate with the outside world... This is a few days later, I came to collect the manga manuscript. When Yoshida was conveying his congratulations to the little sea otter, he accidentally let slip something...

"I know, you guys want to say congratulations on the ending, right?" Opening the door slightly, looking at the Yacheng Mu Mengye duo outside the door, Takahashi Makoto revealed half of his face, directly pointing out the two of them. Purpose: "So is it okay now? I am entering the critical moment of my cultivation. Have you seen the thunder clouds in the sky? This is a serious thunderstorm in our Phoenix Academy. If you don't want to be dragged down, please leave quickly!"

"Speaking of which..." After the good-hearted Takahashi Makoto entertained him for a while, Ajou and Mu Mengye looked at the sky in confusion, "Will thunderclouds appear in this hot sunny day?"

After closing the door, the phone on the table kept vibrating. Looking at the name displayed on the phone, Makoto Takahashi smiled on his face!

"...It's me!" Makoto Takahashi said slowly to the person on the other side of the phone, "Well, yes, it's over! So...there are no regrets now, right?"

"..." This time the other person on the phone seemed to be in a state of aphasia, without any words to respond!

"Have you fallen into a state of silence?" A smile appeared on Takahashi Makoto's face, "Oh, it seems that you have distracting thoughts? No, since you have chosen, you can't regret it! Whatever you want to get, just do it Something has to give...so you understand, that's what it's called..."

"Is it an equivalent exchange..." The person on the other side of the phone sighed, "I'm grateful to you for taking care of me all this time, Cheng!"

"The same is true here, my friend!"

5,000 achievement achieved! This is the love I have given to Fullmetal Alchemist~ So it’s ok to update alone, right? By the way, I have to work overtime tomorrow, which is really unfortunate.
