A middle school cartoonist

Although the problems in the comics completed by Mashiro Girl were pointed out, both Takahashi Makoto and Nizuma Eiji had to admit one thing...

That is, the level of painting displayed in the comics completed by Mashiro Girl in a short period of time has reached the level called "Extreme"!

Take the current comics completed by Mashiro Girl for example, whether it is a single drawing or the processing of the storyboard, the level of completion of each page of the comics is quite high. Whether it is the [Genius] Eiji Nizuma or Makoto Takahashi who has [Cheat], if they complete the same scene, the two popular cartoonists of Weekly Shonen Jumk cannot draw a comic of the same level as Mashiro Girl...

In other words, if the quality of Mashiro Girl's drawings is only considered from a single perspective, neither Eiji Nizuma nor Makoto Takahashi thinks that they can improve this level of drawings to a higher level...After all, Mashiro Girl, who has the [World Class] painter level, can be regarded as a pink newcomer in the cartoonist world, but at least she is not comparable to a mere middle school cartoonist and a mere King of Black Flame!

"Is this the strength that earns the title of [World Class Painter]?" Putting the finished comic manuscript on the table, Nizuma Eiji, who usually gets excited like a hot-blooded idiot, fell into silence at this moment...

"Oh my, King of Black Flame, after realizing the gap between us... did you feel the so-called [despair]?" Seeing a genius like Nizuma Eiji being hit in the field he excels in, it turns out that At this moment, Takahashi Makoto should have shown a smile called "joy"... However, the fact is that Takahashi Makoto observed the attitude of Nizuma Eiji and recalled that he had a similar experience before, so the smile on his face was very forced, "Talent or talent... Sometimes it's really annoying!"

"... That's true!" Nizuma Eiji subconsciously clenched the comic manuscript in his hand. Instead of making a statement like "I will be excited to have such a new opponent" as usual, he agreed with the evaluation of a certain middle school cartoonist!

Nizuma Eiji, who is also praised as a "genius" and even intends to make drawing comics the most important thing in his life, after seeing the painting talent shown by Mashiro girl, clearly realized that if it was just in terms of pure painting skills, he was far inferior to Mashiro girl... What made Nizuma Eiji even more depressed was that even if he spent the rest of his life to hone his painting skills, he still couldn't narrow the gap between himself and Mashiro girl!

This is what is called [gift]... or [talent]!

Regarding the reactions of Takahashi Makoto and Niizuma Eiji, the simple-minded Mashiro did not say much, but just sat quietly aside, without any awareness of being the focus of discussion between the two cartoonists... It was not because Mashiro was mentally strong, but because when she was studying painting in a foreign country in her early years, she was already used to such comments from others!

"Ahem... It should be my turn next, right?" Makoto Takahashi put the comic manuscript on the table, motioning to Eiji Nizuma and Mashiro to observe, then turned his gaze to the boy Sora who was apparently thinking about life, "Boy, don't try to add drama to yourself by saying [I am doing philosophical thinking]! While the King of Black Flame and Mashiro are trapped in my world, how about I give you some psychological counseling?"

"That..." For the sudden kindness shown by Makoto Takahashi, the boy Sora looked disgusted, "Please allow me to refuse cautiously!"

"Eh? Boy, are you sure you really want to refuse? It's rare that my purpose this time is simple..." Makoto Takahashi looked at the boy Sora with some surprise, and spread his hands helplessly, "By the way, you also know that because there is only one copy of the comic manuscript, the King of Black Flame and Mashiro will definitely be close together to observe... Have you decided to accept the power from [Forgiveness]?"

"Uh... Uncle..." The corners of Sora's mouth twitched helplessly... Let's not talk about this, we are still good friends!

"Although I'm a little annoyed that you use the disrespectful title of "Uncle" to me, but when I was discussing with the King of Black Flame just now, your face seemed a little abnormal!" Takahashi Makoto pointed at the girl Mashiro and persuaded the boy Kota like a devil, "As a person who has experienced the pressure from "Genius" or "Life Dependents", I have a lot of experience... So I ask you again, boy, do you need to talk about your mental journey in private?"

"...Okay!" He definitely agreed because he was forced by the other party's force, not because the other party touched his heart... Kota boy hypnotized himself like this, and followed Takahashi Makoto to the next room!

As for how Takahashi Makoto read and wrote "Psychological Counseling" and "Personality Resetting" for Kota boy, let's not talk about it for now, and now turn our attention to the girl Mashiro and Nizuma Eiji... and the comic manuscript completed by Takahashi Makoto!

Although the level of painting of cartoonists has a certain influence on comic works, it does not mean that every page of comics with extremely high painting standards can become a popular or hot-selling comics... The best example of this is naturally the original version of "One Punch Man" with a painting style of "full of magic"!

Well, in order to get rid of the suspicion of being a liar... let's turn our attention back to Eiji Nizuma and Mashiro!

The level of painting completed by Makoto Takahashi is not as good as Mashiro... Eiji Nizuma clearly saw this when he just started observing the comics!

However, this does not prevent Eiji Nizuma from continuing to observe the comics...

Even if Eiji Nizuma draws the same plot and the same characters, after a certain character appears, Eiji Nizuma knows what kind of plot will appear next and who will be the next character to appear... But at this moment, Eiji Nizuma is still watching with relish like Mashiro!

The so-called war...

It does not necessarily refer to large-scale armed fighting between countries. It may also be like the [Holy Grail War], where seven masters and seven heroic spirits fight one or more parties in the dark night that the world cannot detect!

In a sense, the [Holy Grail War] in the Type-Moon world can only be regarded as a battle, and it cannot be regarded as a war in the strict sense!

So, if you want to successfully construct this comic, the most important point is to combine the plot and character settings given by Makoto Takahashi, and elevate the scene that was originally just a [fight] to a [war]!

In other words, in the process of completing the comic draft, it is very important for the cartoonist to create the atmosphere of the comic!

The church...

The three magicians...

The murderer...

The student who wants to prove himself...

The Magician Association...

Interspersed in the Heroic Summoning plot are related plots that are complicated but not chaotic, which makes the story that was originally just a [fight] between the seven masters and the heroic spirits rise to the competition and contest between various forces around the [Holy Grail]...that is, the so-called [war]!

The same character design, the same plot... It is completely different from the world constructed by Mashiro. In the comic draft completed by Makoto Takahashi, just the scene of summoning the Heroic Spirit can make people feel the grandeur of the next scene!

Especially in the process of summoning the Heroic Spirit, Makoto Takahashi did not choose to depict the whole process from the summoning of a single Heroic Spirit like Mashiro, but chose to stagger the rituals of summoning the Heroic Spirits of the six masters... When each master summoned the Heroic Spirit, although the spells chanted were different, they were strictly arranged in the order provided before!

"Oh... It's worthy of what Mr. Fenghuangyuan said!" Nizuma Eiji became more and more excited as he watched, and even completely ignored Mashiro, who was also an observer, and shouted loudly...

You can't blame Nizuma Eiji for not being a quiet [comic observer]. After all, compared with the rhythmic chanting summoning completed by Mashiro before... This part of the plot completed by Makoto Takahashi is even more exciting!

"..." Although she still put on a calm expression and did not praise like Nizuma Eiji... However, the flash of surprise in Mashiro's eyes showed that she was not calm at the moment!

Although there was a gap in the painting level of the draft, it was more interesting than the comic draft she had completed... Although she did not admit it, after reading the comic draft completed by Takahashi Makoto, Mashiro realized that she had lost!

Is this the gap in [realm]...?

Mashiro put down the comic draft and fell into silence thoughtfully...
