In the western part of Toei Aichi Prefecture, it was once the territory of the ancient Owari Province, and in 1534 Oda Nobunaga, one of the "Three Masters of the Toei Warring States", was born here, also known as the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King".

In Iwakura City, which is under the jurisdiction of Aichi Prefecture, when the two Tomie ladies in Kyoto were "humanely destroyed", their owners seemed to be sensitive, stopped their brushes, turned around and walked out of the room.

"The No. 1 and No. 2 sent to Kyoto have failed, Hideo. ”

He said to a middle-aged man standing quietly in the courtyard, practicing his sword.

"Really?"

The man who was called Eifu and held the wooden sword in both hands did not seem surprised when he heard the news, and his tone was flat.

"But on the 3rd, she was already on her way back with someone. ”

"Very well," said the sword-wielding man, who had done his last slash, plunged the wooden sword back into his waist, and then turned to the speaker and continued—

"How many years have we been here, Ito?"

"It's been almost six years. ”

"It's time to go out for a walk......"

"Well, this time we must make a break with those two old guys!"

The latter said in an awe-inspiring tone.

"Quasi-master, is there such a position in front of the title of master?"

On the fourth floor of Kyoto University's Manga Society, after Fang Ye lifted the unconscious Inoue Naohiko to a chair, he asked Orihime Asakami, who had just revealed that the culprit behind the scenes was at most a quasi-master level.

"Of course, Fang Jun, don't you think that the level of masters in all countries in the world is set in stone, right?"

Asakami Orihime glanced at Fang Ye in surprise, the expression on her face seemed to say that reality is not a game, and even a master can't maintain the same level forever like the high-level NPCs in the game.

"Even if he creates a miracle and becomes our recognized master, even if his work is a classic, with the passage of time and the changes of the times, his popularity will only continue to decline, and the miracles he can create will become smaller and smaller, until it becomes a masterpiece of a certain era in history. ”

Orihime Asakami sighed and said, "Whether it is the famous Renaissance era in Europe or the Meiji period in Toei, how many masters were born in them, but how many of the works they created can be remembered through the ages? Most of them can only be seen in Chinese textbooks in the end. ”

"Just like Fang Jun, your country, Huaguo, has a long history, dating back to the beginning of civilization to the present, more than 5,000 years, but how many miracles can leave an impression in your heart?"

"Journey to the West, Fengshen Bang, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin ......"

Hearing Asakami Orihime's question, the names of these four works flashed in Fang Ye's mind.

"I don't think it will be more than that. ”

Orihime Asagami gestured to Fang Ye with a "7" and said softly.

"There really isn't much ......"

Fang Ye pondered for a while and nodded in agreement.

"That's it, every century there are miracles that are born in a glorious era that belongs to them, but there are not many works that can survive a long time and still have a lot of popularity in a new era.

I think the miracle that can continue to maintain vitality under the big waves is the 'miracle of miracles'. ”

Orihime Asagami was conclusive, but she didn't know what kind of shock her words brought to Fang Ye.

"Is a work that endures a miracle truly a miracle?"

Keenly caught several key Fang Ye in the woman's words, and repeated it in a low voice.

"Teacher Orihime, according to what you mean, is the long-term popularity of a work an indicator to measure the true level of a master? And the so-called quasi-master is that he was a master before, but after the popularity of his works fell, he is no longer enough to be called a master, so the term quasi-master is used instead?"

"That's right, don't get me wrong. A work of super popularity is not necessarily a miracle work, but a miracle work is necessarily a popular work. ”

"What ..................!!!"

After hearing this, Fang Ye's color changed dramatically, and he almost screamed.

If that's the case, then why did his painting "One Punch Man" have a miracle so early!

"Orihime-sensei, does every miracle work have to accumulate popularity at the beginning in order to turn from a 'simple popularity' to a real 'miracle'?"

"Naturally, do you think that a miracle work will be a 'miracle' from the beginning? The reason why it can be transformed into a 'miracle' is that the recognition of it by a huge fan base is an indispensable part. ”

“…… I understand. ”

Although he replied like this, Fang Ye opened his mobile phone at the same time and logged on to the official website of the 'One Comic Book Award in the World', and quickly checked the ranking of the shortlisted works, "One Punch Man" was indeed listed first, but if the number of votes is used to judge the number of people who support this work, one person and one vote, then the more than 8,000 votes at this time only represent more than 8,000 people.

Although this is a lot of money, I am afraid that it is not enough to make a work that is just a miracle seed become a real 'miracle work' today.

Since the soaring popularity is an integral part of every miracle work, why did his ace of choice, "One Punch Man", show miracles so early?

And at the very beginning, during the assessment of the manga club, he only drew a draft of the character of the male protagonist Saitama at that time, why did he escape his life from the knife of the murderer Izo?

According to the standards that Orihime Asagami just revealed, everything that happened, including this morning's strengthening, is not in line with the logic of this world's 'miracle work', and it is completely unreasonable.

Why exactly......

For a moment, Fang Ye couldn't think of an answer.

………………………………………

On the national highway in Aichi Prefecture in the distance, an SUV car was driving towards Iwakura City.

In the middle of the back seat, there is a charming and moving girl, the tears in the corners of her eyes are eye-catching, and next to her sits a man, one is unkempt, the hair is sloppy, the other is well-dressed, a social elite dress, but their eyes are cloudy at this time, and they are not sober.

"It's a good piece, you two must be able to help the master. ”

The girl flipped to the end of a manga booklet, smiled brightly, and said to the captured men beside her.

I saw that on the cover of that comic, the name of the work was "New Dark Imperial History".
