Chapter 519: Fear and Expectation of the Unknown
Except for Yumeye Aki, who has just completed the third episode of the manga "Chess Soul", all the members of the manga artist side who participated in [Smash Bros. this time] have received Makoto Takahashi's almost prophetic email!
"Silver-haired brother Fukuda, is Dio-kun finally going to put on a stone mask and give up his identity as a human......?"
"Now, little sea otter, how are you preparing for the hunter exam? Two bear children who are full of affection have met?" This is an email that Makoto Takahashi sent to his devout little sea otter......
"Ruko, it is said that the [Tentacle Touching Head Kill] that kills the teacher has the ability to greatly increase the favorability, have you ever used it on Ueno Aoi small animals and the cute Mayuri......?
"King of Black Flame, congratulations to Izuku Midoriya, the little freckled hero, who has finally evolved from a mortal bone to a hero...... I'd love to say that, but don't forget the "Super Electromagnetic Cannon" you're in charge of! Eccentricity or anything is absolutely not allowed!" This is Makoto Takahashi's ally, kindly reminding his new wife Eiji not to neglect the serialized works of [Makoto Shinkai] monthly magazine because he was busy with the creation of the manga "My Hero Academia......
The whole process of sending the e-mail by Makoto Takahashi was not hidden by the arrival of Yoshida, who received the manga manuscript, but a certain secondary manga artist explained the information contained in each e-mail to Yoshida one by one...... However, Makoto Takahashi's attitude is not so much to show off, but to be unscrupulous!
"Speculate on what might happen in the future with sound intelligence, and deliver the most lethal blow to the opponent at a crucial moment after two rounds...... This move is a superpower skill called [Future Prediction]!" Makoto Takahashi said to Yoshida, who kept twitching at the corners of his mouth, while using his mobile phone to send an email, "In addition to superpower Pokémon, I am afraid that the existence that can master this skill is only an existence like me who has awakened the [Future Style]...... Therefore, as a mere human being, you don't have the impossible belief that "as long as you work hard to cultivate, sooner or later, I will master this skill......"!
"This idiotic belief...... I won't have it now, and I won't have it in the future!" Looking at Makoto Takahashi in the midst of the wild laughter, Yoshida pursed his lips disdainfully and complained loudly! Because he recalled the black history of being killed by a certain secondary and second cartoonist, Yoshida just took the comic manuscript of the third episode of the comic "One Punch Man", and did not read it in a hurry as before, but looked at Makoto Takahashi with some doubts, and teased in a gloating tone, "Speaking of Ah Cheng, are you sure that you are really a big husband doing this?" Can you really guarantee the accuracy of the third episode of the third episode of the serialized by the other five manga artists you speculated, and if your predictions are any wrong...... Hmph, I'm looking forward to seeing that!"
"My dependents are cats, and I say this to those who have a plug-in and can see through the future magic eye [futuristic style]...... You're really still at the level of [mortal wisdom]!" Takahashi Makoto was quite unhappy with the expectations on Yoshidayan's face and between his words!"If even this level of prediction could be wrong, then I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of a murderer wandering around the city one night......! Maybe there is no mad cartoonist Phoenix Courtyard in this world, only the mysterious soothsayer Phoenix Courtyard is real!"
"Since Ah Cheng has already speculated on other people's comic plots, this time the reader survey volume ...... Can you win the first place?" Although it is indeed an unpleasant thing to be ridiculed and complained about by Makoto Takahashi, Yoshida is also the responsible editor of the manga artist Phoenix Temple, and when he talks about manga-related matters, he is still very responsible......!
Don't underestimate Yoshida as the editor-in-charge!
According to the theory of "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent in a hundred battles", Yoshida felt that since Makoto Takahashi could speculate on the content of other serialized manga, it was natural that there should be a countermeasure...... However, after Makoto Takahashi pondered for a moment, he shook his head regretfully, although he had not yet opened his mouth to answer Yoshida's words, but the meaning he wanted to express was already obvious!
"Eh, why?" Because he hadn't looked at the manga draft of the manga "One Punch Man" yet, Yoshida didn't have any basis in mind to predict what kind of results the content of the third episode would eventually achieve...... Therefore, although Yoshida is a little helpless and reluctant, he can only turn to a certain secondary manga artist who [seems to be in control of everything] now!"It stands to reason that since you already know the plots of other manga, you should be prepared......!
"My family is a cat, when I proposed [Smash Bros. Bros.] to the commander, I said it before...... At that time, I said, 'I'm going to have a dignified head-on fight,' right?" Makoto Takahashi stopped Yoshida, who was about to say something, and tapped his fingers lightly on the unfinished manga on the table, "So even if I knew that a certain episode of other manga would be particularly exciting, I wouldn't go out of my way to prepare anything...... So, it's the same this time!"
"I see what you mean! In Cheng's opinion, because you have speculated on the content of the third episode of other comics, it makes you feel like you are not victorious...... There's nothing wrong with that, right?" Yoshida saw Makoto Takahashi nodding in acquiescence, and immediately said the good words that had been prepared before, "But based on the content of the current serialization, I can speculate on the subsequent plot development of the manga...... In a sense, this kind of behavior is not actually cheating, but belongs to Ah Cheng's talent!"
"Talent...... Is it?"
"No, the correct way to say it should be 'talent'!" God knows why Yoshida was able to say comforting and encouraging words while still frantically complaining about Makoto Takahashi's [capricious and changeable] character in his heart!" "Being able to see through the opponent's intentions and guess the opponent's next move is a very remarkable ability!!Makoto you have spent a lot of time interpreting the manga of other manga artists, and you have spent time thinking about the follow-up plots of other manga...... Therefore, if you use this ability, even if you really win, it will definitely not belong to the so-called [Victory without Martial Arts]!"
Sensing that a certain secondary cartoonist suddenly had a crooked mind, after asking the reason, Yoshida originally planned to take the opportunity to make a cameo appearance as a [Spiritual Guide] or [Spiritual Mentor] to save the secondary cartoonist who was lost on the road of life, or to enlighten Makoto Takahashi, who was thinking too much...... The opportunity was indeed a perfect use, and the persuasion also obtained the actual combat results of [Outstanding Effect], but the result was ......
"Actually, it's just an inconsequential little issue......" Makoto Takahashi's words at this moment made Yoshida feel so depressed that he vomited blood!" "More importantly, the reason why I chose to do this is to try my best to save my expectations and fears of the unknown......"
"...... if you can...... Yoshida really wants to drag a second-year cartoonist out and shoot him for five hours at the moment!
"My family is a cat, ordinary people like you won't understand......" Maybe it's because Yoshida's disdainful eyes are too strong, or maybe it's because Makoto Takahashi suddenly entered the [Life Emotion] mode...... In short, this time, before Yoshida had time to ask, Makoto Takahashi had already begun to say to himself!, "Fear and expectation of the [unknown] are indispensable and important conditions for the survival of highly intelligent beings such as humans!"
"Eh, it's essential for survival...... Shouldn't it be material resources such as food and water?" A responsible editor asked seriously, but was glared at with contempt by a secondary cartoonist......
Speaking of Yoshida, don't you understand it now? If you want to communicate normally with Makoto Takahashi, according to the principle of [equivalent exchange], the price you have to pay is to abandon the so-called [common sense]!
"Only by being afraid of the unknown can we always remember our existence as mortal bones, and only then can we not be overly arrogant when we are proud, and only by having expectations for the unknown can we continue to strive towards hope in the endless trials called [life], which is both long and short......" Makoto Takahashi smiled at Yoshida, who was already sluggish, and continued to exert persecution on his responsible editor called [Mental Destruction]!" However, although some people have died, their thoughts have been passed on, and their spirit is still alive...... So my family cat, you understand now! What I fear and worry more than physical death or something is mental death!"
"There is some truth in what you said...... "Although it was only for a moment, Yoshida's brain crashed for a while due to overload......!" Does this have anything to do with the comics we're discussing?"
"Of course!" looked at Yoshida, who was entangled and took pleasure in Makoto Takahashi, with a satisfied smile on his face, "Speculate the follow-up plots of other manga, and then adopt the targeted strategy of [avoiding the strong and bullying the weak]...... If I really do this, I will reach the realm of [No Rival Before Me]!, but in the same way, it is also the time when the mad cartoonist Phoenix Courtyard is fierce, and the real death comes!"
"The chasm between worldviews...... It's really insurmountable!"
"My family cat, I'll give you a hint!" Makoto Takahashi pointed to the manga draft of "One Punch Man" in Yoshida's hand, "If you still have any doubts after reading the content of the third episode, then...... The Phoenix Courtyard, which belongs to the [Crazy Psychological Counseling Room], will serve you wholeheartedly!" (To be continued.) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info)
