Gotta Go the Healing Route

jd city ah..

Hearing Kazama Yui's words, Uemura Aster was slightly taken aback after the phone call.

If she remembers correctly, that Wu Shanyun seems to be from JD City as well.

Uemura Ziwan couldn't help sighing on the phone, "As expected of a thousand-year-old magic city, there are so many talents."

"Ok?"

"nothing..."

Aster Uemura said:

"I want to ask about your wishes - what do you think if you move to live in DJ City?"

Most of the contracted serial manga artists now live in DJ City, which makes it easier for Shueisha's editors to work.

"Of course, you don't need to consider economic factors at all. As long as you complete the contract, Jiying Society will provide a series of subsidies such as housing, food subsidies and travel, and try to help solve the difficulties in life."

The welfare system for serial cartoonists is quite good, which is one of the reasons why this profession is so sought after in Kanna country.

"Ah, this..."

Kazama Xi touched her nose and said into the phone.

"I'm not sure about that."

"But at least not for these two months, because I still have to take the entrance exam."

"If I can get into DJ's high school, I will consider coming there."

"Entrance exam... dj's educational resources are among the top in the country."

Uemura Aster also agreed with a smile on the other end of the phone.

However, her voice suddenly stopped, and she seemed to have discovered something wrong in the other party's words after belatedly.

"Wait, you just said high school...."

"Are you saying that you are going to prepare for the university entrance exam now?"

Uemura Aster swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked.

"No, not really."

Kazama Xi repeated what she had just said.

"I'm preparing to take the entrance examination for high school. I'm only in the third grade of junior high school this year."

Uemura Aster's body froze, and the hand holding the phone was shaking.

"May I ask, your age is..."

"I'm sixteen this year." Feng Jianxi replied with a guilty conscience.

Many occupations in the world have age restrictions.

In fact, he is only 15 years old now, and he will not be sixteen in three months.

Then he couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone.

Chapter 33 16 years old

The threshold for creative careers is extremely low, basically as long as you have a pen and an idea, you can do it.

Although if you want to really make a living in this industry, basic skills, talents and talents are also indispensable.

As for the age requirements, such as writers engaged in literary creation, age is even a bonus item.The younger the age of entering the industry, the more natural it is.

But the comics industry is a little different.

Compared with pure literature writers who are "not eating smoke and fire", cartoonists can be closer to a simple job.The squeeze on physical and mental power is far better than that of traditional literary writers.

Kazama Xi checked the information of the manga artists in this different time and space, and found that most of them entered the industry after high school.

After that, it will even take two or three years of honing, working as an assistant in the hands of various cartoonists to accumulate long-term experience, and only when I am around 20 years old will I have the opportunity to become a real serial cartoonist.

Note that it is only possible.Originally entered this industry with the dream of becoming a cartoonist, but at the age of 40 or [-], there are countless people who can only serve as cartoonist assistants.

The general environment in the industry is like this, and people who have never heard of it before have become cartoonists.Although in the previous life, there were countless so-called genius cartoonists, but that was only the previous life, and the different time and space were very different from the previous life in all aspects.

Therefore, Kazama Xi still feels a little guilty about her age.

Of course, in fact he was thinking too much.

In this different time and space, the reason why there has never been a manga artist below in the manga field of Kana country is simply because there is no such thing.

Creation of this kind of behavior determined by human intelligence has nothing to do with whether the body is strong or not.

The only troublesome thing for minors to do this business is the signing process.

After all, minors are immature in name, and such things as applying for a bank card by themselves require the consent and accompaniment of their guardians, let alone becoming an official contracted cartoonist.

Seeing that there was no sound on the other end of the phone, Kazama Xi frowned, and couldn't help asking:

"Miss Uemura, are you still listening?"

In Shueisha's editorial department, when she heard the other party say that she was a 16-year-old junior high school student, Uemura Ziwan felt as if she had been hit by a thunderbolt, her body trembled, and her mind was in chaos.

It is true that Kazama Xi's voice is a bit hoarse and nasal due to a mild cold, but if you listen carefully, you can indeed hear the immaturity that belongs to the voice-changing period.

Hearing Kazama Xi's call, Uemura Ziwan immediately came to his senses.

"I'm listening! I'm listening!"

Immediately standing up from her seat, Uemura Ziwan's voice suddenly increased by twenty decibels, almost shouting.It shocked the quiet colleagues in the editorial department.

Itakura Atsushi, who was sitting on a large desk in the distance, looked at Uemura Aster who stood up and frowned.

Also aware of her gaffe, Uemura Ziwan hurriedly bowed ninety degrees to apologize to the colleagues around her, and then sat down again, holding the phone tightly with both hands.

"I'm listening."

"Teacher Yubiechao, you just said that you are still in junior high school?" Uemura Ziwan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and confirmed again.

"Call me Kazama Xi. Yubiechao is my pseudonym, but my real name is Kazama Xi."

Kazama Xi was also taken aback by the yelling over there.

"I am indeed still in junior high school, and I am only sixteen years old."

"However, age shouldn't matter. Your club's registration rules for newcomer rewards don't mention age restrictions."

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Uemura Ziwan once again stood together from their seats. Although this time they didn't yell, they also alarmed the colleagues on the side.

Seeing this scene, Itakura Atsushi also pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"There is indeed no age limit for our newcomer competition. As long as you have talent and talent, our magazine will not refuse any talent."

Uemura Ziwan sat down again and quickly explained.

"However, contestants of your age are indeed very rare."

If it wasn't for the fact that there was another Wu Shanyun this time, a cartoonist of this age could be called unique.

To be honest, at the first moment, Uemura Ziwan thought she had made a wrong call and called the author named Wu Shanyun by mistake.

After confirming that Yu Kazama was indeed 16 years old, Aster Uemura felt as if she was in a dream.

Judging from the talents shown in "After the Death", Xi Kazama is undoubtedly a golden egg.And having such talent at such an age can be said to be a genius.

Even a genius who is even better than that Wu Shanyun!

Excited, Aster Uemura didn't even know what to say for a while.

If Wu Shanyun was awarded the Gold Award for the newcomer award this time because of his age as an additional point, then what about Feng Jianxi who has the same age advantage and is even better in his works?

Thinking of this, Aster Uemura immediately changed her words:

"Actually, the selection of this newcomer award has not yet been fully finalized. What I said earlier was a bit conservative. In fact, your "posthumous text" can win the silver award at worst, and the gold award. It has not been fully finalized because there is another excellent work competing with you."

"All in all, please rest assured that your "posthumous article" has proved your excellence. Our agency will not disappoint such a wonderful story."

"Your name is Kazama Xi. I am a few years older than you, so I will call you Kazama-kun."

"Kazama-kun, this call is to inform you of some precautions in advance. Please send the required information as soon as possible."

"We, Shueisha, will contact you later."

"Okay." Kazama Xi nodded. "If there's nothing else to do, I'll hang up first."

"Nothing else, I wish you a good evening."

After Didi's busy tone came from the phone, Ziwan Uemura closed the phone cover, and then stared at the desktop in a daze.

this is not a dream....

This is real!

In fact, in addition to Shueisha's cartoonists who have a strict cut-off system, the internal editors also carry out a cruel elimination system.

If a good work is not discovered within a certain period of time, and if there is a potential newcomer in hand, the editor will be fired immediately by Shueisha and kicked out.

The rules are here, even if Aster Uemura who entered Shueisha's editorial department through a back door is no exception.

This is why Aster Uemura is so eager to make some achievements.

"No, this kind of thing has to be reported..."

The author of "After the Death" is also a young genius. If Wu Shanyun was awarded the gold prize because of his talent, what would happen to this gentleman who is also a genius, or even better? What do you think?

Thinking of this, Uemura Ziwan slapped the table and stood up again.

Then he turned his head and met the cold gaze of deputy editor-in-chief Atsuya Itakura.

Then....

Aster Uemura was scared.

She sat back in her seat silently.

Deputy editor Atsushi Itakura is also very intimidating in the entire editorial department, not only because of his profound resume, but also because of his unsmiling personality and meticulous work style.

Speaking of which, Itakura Atsushi seemed to be very fond of that Wu Shanyun.
