Chapter 5: The Assassination (I)
"Whew...... Although I barely handed in the papers, I don't know if I can ...... this time."
Hirota Masashi, who was still smiling before the assessment, was slowly walking out of the building of the Comic Painting Society with a blue face at this time.
He was not the only one, most of the students who had finished the assessment, none of them had a relaxed expression on their faces, and they all sat silently on the benches outside waiting for something.
The low aura that makes people feel depressed and depressed has been shrouded here for a long time.
At this time, Naohiko Inoue, the vice president of the Manga Society, who was responsible for presiding over the club assessment, appeared in front of everyone again, and his loud voice was amplified through the microphone and instantly resounded throughout the audience.
"First of all, on behalf of the Kyoto University Manga Club, I would like to thank you all for coming today, after five hours of assessment, the recruitment of our Kyoto University Manga Club for the new academic year has come to an end.
I think everyone knows very well that the entrance assessment of our comic painting club has always been carried out according to the most stringent standards, and the work of each candidate is personally checked and evaluated by the club consultant teacher Orihime Asakami. β
Speaking of this, Naohiko Inoue, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, coughed lightly, and took a piece of paper from the staff next to him, and some of the students who had participated in the last assessment couldn't help but clench their hands, they knew what the content of this paper meant.
"Today, a total of 84 people participated in the assessment of our Comic Painting Club, and I am honored to announce that 4 students have successfully passed the assessment and become new members of our Comic Painting Club this academic year!"
"They areβ"
Naohiko Inoue swept his gaze to the form in his hand.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, Hirota Masashi clearly heard his heartbeat, his clenched hands could feel the palms full of cold sweat, his feet were slightly bent, he didn't dare to straighten, as if the strength of his whole body had been sucked away.
"The first is Yuko Ando from the Faculty of Economics, and Ando's four-panel manga is very good and creative, and it is a very impressive work. β
As the words fell, a group of girls gathered not far away suddenly let out bursts of cheers, from which words such as "Sure enough, it's Yuko", "I knew Yuko-chan she could do it" from time to time.
"The second is Egawa Hota from the Faculty of Law, and Egawa-san managed to draw a perfect draft in 25 minutes based on a manga name sketched by Orihime-sensei, and I am ashamed of myself for this drawing skill alone. β
Inoue's words immediately caused a sensation among the following group of people, but they knew Inoue's strength, and it was rumored that after he entered the manga club, he quickly served as the assistant of his famous cartoonist brother Inoue Yuhiko.
The last time "Slam Dunk" was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump", the first color page was handed over to Naohiko Inoue alone, and the concise storyboard and gorgeous action design formed a work of art that amazed the audience, and even made the serialized "Slam Dunk" in the popularity survey ranking two places in a row, squeezing into the top five!
Could it be that this Egawa Hota is enough to make his official debut as a cartoonist in terms of drawing skills?
Such a thought could not help but come to everyone's minds.
The third student is Fang Yingye from the Faculty of Engineering, who is an international student from China, and his character design is very impressive. Yes, even Orihime-sensei is full of praise, but it's a pity that I haven't seen this work with my own eyes......"
Bang!
Masatoshi Hirota, who was listening quietly below, felt as if there was a thunderclap in his ears, and he stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground.
His eyes were in a trance, and he showed a look of surprise, as if he thought he had misheard, but the sounds of surprise from others in his ears made him sure that he had not heard correctly.
The iceberg man he knew, Fang Yingye, who always loved nesting in the laboratory, really passed this assessment and successfully joined the Comic Painting Club?!
How is this possible?! The other party has never shown his talent in this area in front of his classmates! And when everyone discusses comics in their spare time, the other party has a disinterested expression, as if he is only enthusiastic about doing experiments!
How could such a person, such a guy, be admitted to the comic painting club so easily?!
One step or two, Masashi Hirota, who was unable to pace in circles in place, kept scanning his surroundings, trying to find the person who had calmly told him that he would not be eliminated.
But he looked around for a long time, but he didn't find the guy again.
Here, I once again thank you for your participation and support today, and I hope that the next assessment of the club will continue to emerge such outstanding talents, thank you, this is the end of the recruitment activity of the Kyoto University Manga Club this academic year!"
When the loud applause rang out in Fang Ye's ears one after another, he had already walked on the corridor on the third floor of the Manga Painting Society with the other three passers-by, and what Inoue Naohiko said outside before could be heard even if he was here, so the three people except him were all flushed, looking excited and happy.
"Here we are. β
At this time, a sudden voice from the front brought several people back to their senses.
This female voice is melodious and melodious, and the hollow valley is quiet, which makes the listener's heart inevitably fall into intoxication.
I saw that the person who spoke was none other than Orihime Asakami, who was extremely charming.
