A middle school cartoonist

Chapter 18: Feast of Future Kings

The editor-in-chief crossed his hands and supported his chin. Due to the reflection of the flat glasses, he couldn't see his eyes and couldn't guess what he was thinking!

After Yoshida brought Takahashi Makoto to the editorial office and informed the editor-in-chief of Takahashi Makoto's so-called 'King's Feast', the editor-in-chief continued to maintain this posture, making the atmosphere in the entire editorial office a bit depressing. No one dared to speak out for fear of disturbing the editor's thoughts.

Well...except for Takahashi Makoto, the inhuman chuunibyou existence...

Makoto Takahashi kept taking photos with his mobile phone, and the subject of the photo was the editor-in-chief who was in a state of thinking!

"Looking at it this way, it can be confirmed that the editor-in-chief has now been possessed by Commander Ikari Gendo. Is he thinking about how to deal with the apostles, or is he considering the human completion plan?" Makoto Takahashi gently pulled Yoshida beside him, and then He kept fiddling with the phone, "But compared to Ikari Gendo, if the editor-in-chief puts on sunglasses, he will definitely transform into Madao who can use Hasegawa's strong attack!"

"Is the editor-in-chief a good-for-nothing?" Yoshida almost bit his tongue. This naughty kid really dared to say that! However, Yoshida took a closer look and thought that the editor-in-chief looked a bit like Taizo Hasegawa in "Gintama" when he put on his sunglasses!

"The king's feast? Your proposal is very interesting!" The commander...er, the editor-in-chief raised his head and looked at Makoto Takahashi with a rare smile on his face, "But I think it's best to change the name, after all." The title "King"... may be a bit early for you cartoonists who have just debuted!"

"I also feel something is wrong!" Yoshida looked in agreement, which made Takahashi despise him!

Isn't he just an editor? My beloved cat, if you are still hesitating about what to be afraid of, rush up and kill him. The future editor-in-chief is you!

"If you continue to work hard according to your current level, I can be sure that in the next ten to twenty years, the world will be dominated by cartoonists like you! But..." The editor-in-chief looked at Makoto Takahashi seriously, "Now Compared with those cartoonists who have been famous for a long time, you are still far from becoming the 'king'!"

"Hi! Thank you for the promotion, Commander! You will definitely live up to the Commander's instructions! Long live the Commander!" Makoto Takahashi saluted seriously to express his gratitude! (Takahashi Makoto, where is your moral integrity?)

Although Makoto Takahashi is in the second grade, who says that children in the second grade are fools! Makoto Takahashi himself knows very well that even if he has a bug-level cheat in his head like a search engine, so what? "Dragon Ball", "One Piece", and "Naruto" are masterpieces of comics. Although they had just spread their fangs when Makoto Takahashi traveled through time, after more than two years of experience, they are now very popular, showing the domineering power of a king. It goes without saying that it is basically impossible to surpass these comics! but……

Don’t underestimate us latecomers either! A strange light flashed in Takahashi Makoto's eyes, because didn't the so-called record always exist just for future generations to break it?

"So for this planning, I feel that 'The King's Feast' is not appropriate!" The Editor-in-Chief Commander gave his opinion very seriously, "It should be renamed 'The Future King's Feast'! Well, that's the decision!"

"I feel like the editor-in-chief is really good at naming names. It's like naming your own child 'Li Goudan' or 'Pure Man'. It's so artistic!" Makoto Takahashi muttered, but it was Putting people around you to shame, is this the art of naming that belongs exclusively to the second-tier king?

The world of the second grade is indeed not a realm that ordinary people can touch!

"So have you achieved your purpose of coming today?" In response to Makoto Takahashi's complaints, the editor-in-chief didn't have a trace of embarrassment on his face, but still had an expression of wanting to destroy the world. "Yoshida said you want to confirm for yourself, those who are suitable to participate Feast people, is that it?”

"Yes, not everyone is qualified to participate in this feast! Don't you think so, Commander?" Makoto Takahashi looked at the frowning editor-in-chief and scratched his head speechlessly, "Although I can't guarantee anything, But I can be sure that the cartoonists participating in this feast are definitely people with faith and ideals, and they are also people who truly love comics!”

"Are you sure that the people you selected are really like this?" The editor-in-chief relaxed his brows slightly, "Give me a reason!"

"Reason?" Makoto Takahashi sneered, and his Chuuni force field was fully activated, "Because I am the fierce and crazy cartoonist of the Phoenix Institute! Because the reason why I draw comics is to maintain the existence of parallel worlds! Because I, the Phoenix Institute Jiuzhen is the God who created the world!”

"Idiot, what are you talking about?" Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi feebly, why did he still make a mistake at the critical moment?

"Okay! Your reasons have convinced me! I agree with you to invite those people!" The editor-in-chief looked at Makoto Takahashi expressionlessly, and then turned to Yoshida, "Yoshida, you and Makoto Takahashi go together, and the notification is Leave it to you!"

"Yes! Thank you, editor-in-chief!" Yoshida looked happy, picked up the information sheet on the table, and pulled Takahashi Makoto out in a hurry!

"Editor-in-chief, why..." The deputy editor-in-chief looked at the editor-in-chief with some doubts, "Shouldn't these things be done by their editor-in-chief? And like this..."

"It's a bit messy to leave it to that kid?" The editor-in-chief shook his head, as if he was talking to the deputy editor-in-chief, or as if he was talking to himself, "Comics, as long as they are interesting, it's fine! Let those young people do this kind of thing themselves, and we, the older adults, just watch carefully from the side! And although that kid sometimes has strange ideas, maybe that's how he can draw more interesting comics..."

Older adults? The deputy editor's mouth twitched a little. Most of the people in the editorial department are not yet 30 years old. Is this considered old?

After leaving Yurongsha, Yoshida was still smiling, but Takahashi Makoto's next move made his smile freeze on his face!

"Declare, foolish people in the world!" Takahashi Makoto laughed wildly and spread his arms, "We will hold a grand war! This war will determine the unification and belonging of the world. The winner will have everything, and the loser will have nothing! I will be on the throne at the top of the world, waiting for you to come! My cat, let's go and notify the first participant!"

Takahashi Makoto's chuunibyou look made Yoshida extremely embarrassed! People around pointed and whispered from time to time, making Yoshida kneel down with tears...

Lan Dai and Huang Mao Glasses on one side.

"The feast of the future king?" After hearing the news, the two looked at each other and found that their partners were full of fighting spirit.

"How about it, do you want to participate?" Takahashi Makoto held a notebook in his hand, on which was written the words '【Good Gay and Beautiful Friend Duo】 Confirmed to Participate', "There is no limit to the number of works! The way to determine the winner is from the submission, all the way to the animation of the comics and the sales of the single volume! Come on, let's have a good fight!"

"How do you calculate it like this?" Lan Dai and Huang Mao Glasses had completely puzzled expressions on their faces, indicating that they didn't understand Takahashi Makoto's explanation at all!

"Let me explain it!" Yoshida finally understood what the editor-in-chief meant. Did he just follow the person in charge to explain it? "To participate in this 'Future King's Feast', previously serialized or completed works will not be counted! In other words, cartoonists who want to participate in this 'feast' need to create a new comic!"

"New comic?" The hair on Lan Dai's head kept shaking up and down, "In this way, those cartoonists who have serialized before will have a lot of advantages? This is a bit unfair to new cartoonists!"

"It's not like that!" Yoshida looked at the thoughtful yellow-haired glasses man and continued to explain, "The new comics of the participants will start directly from submission, and through the serialization meeting, one point will be obtained for confirming serialization; three points will be obtained for starting serialization; two points will be obtained for obtaining the title color page; the top 20 votes in the reader survey during the serialization period will be obtained according to the ranking; the comics that are decided to be animated will be obtained. 20 points; for every single volume sales exceeding 500,000 copies, an additional two points will be obtained! Is this clear?"

"I roughly understand..." The yellow-haired glasses man pushed his glasses, "In other words, a comic, from submission to serialization, to animation and publication, Selling single-volume editions, this process has added points, right? But since then, long-running comics are more advantageous... No, before, Makoto Chuuji said that the number of works should not be limited..."

"That's right, this war will last for a long time!" Takahashi Makoto's face was full of energy, "Three years? Five years? Or ten years? Who knows how many years the war will last? If one comic is not good, then draw the second and third parts... The more comic works, the higher the quality, and the more difficult it is to win or lose! But isn't it more interesting this way?"

"As for how to determine the winner, it's very simple! When the points of one of the cartoonists far exceed those of other participants, and crush the other participants with an absolute advantage, the war is over! How about this, this war is very interesting, right? Let us collide with each other's will in this feast, prove each other's consciousness, and keep moving forward until the other side of the end of the world!"

"Who are the participants?" Lan Dai looked at Yoshida, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, as for Takahashi Makoto's words, it seemed to be completely ignored.

"Anyone who loves comics and wants to be a comic artist can join!" Yoshida looked at the Lan Dai duo with a serious face, "Do you want to join?"

"Of course we will join!" Lan Dai and the yellow-haired glasses guy said in unison, "Or we would rather not join!"

"Once you join, you can only quit if you admit defeat!" Takahashi Makoto showed a strange smile on his face, "Even if you lose your life, you still want to challenge the existence of the demon god and peek at the unknown throne? Can the consciousness you carry and the dream you pursue support you to keep going?"

"I will never admit defeat!" Lan Dai stared at Takahashi Makoto, and silently added in his heart, for Azumiho!

"It's us!" The yellow-haired glasses guy looked at Lan Dai helplessly, turned his head and looked at Takahashi Makoto, his expression became very serious, "The winner in the end must be us!"

Looking at the tit-for-tat of the three people, Yoshida suddenly felt a little emotional. If this happened a few years earlier, he might have participated without hesitation. Even if the painting skills were not good, he could not suppress this feeling of passion!

"My cat, if you participate, you will definitely become cannon fodder!" At this moment, Takahashi Makoto seemed to see through Yoshida's heart, and showed disdain, "The throne of the demon god is not something that mortals like you can peek at! Let's go and invite the next participant!"

"This brat..." Although Yoshida knew that what Takahashi Makoto said was the truth, he still felt a little resentful in his heart, but...what was going on with this feeling of envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart?

"It's so good to be young...ah~"

Looking at Takahashi Makoto's back as he turned and left, and then looking at the two people behind him who were full of fighting spirit, Yoshida sighed helplessly!
