Chapter 15: Submissions and Opportunities

"The name "Fullmetal Alchemist" 60 pages of the finished product, with the idea, the phone number and the receiving address are all OK, in triplicate, just send it to these three." Riki put the things she needed for the submission into three file bags.

Taiwan Dongman Publishing House, Hong Kong Mantianxia Publishing House, ENIX Publishing House.

These are the three publishing houses that Limu wants to submit, Dongman Publishing House and Mantianxia Publishing House are both famous and famous publishing houses in later generations, and they are all publishing houses of Chinese, and Limu has no reason to let the fertilizer fall into the fields of outsiders. As for contributing to the Enix Publishing House, it's completely because of the manga that "Fullmetal Alchemist" was originally published there, and I'm embarrassed to plagiarize other people's things and rob other people's customers.

"Fullmetal Alchemist" is also referred to simply as Steel.

Set in a world where alchemy was quite developed, the universally accepted science was set in the industrial age.

It tells the adventure story of a runaway teenager and a ** teenager......

Edward Elric, a young man who lost his footing, and his younger brother Alphonse, miss their deceased mother very much, and in order to see their mother's smile again, they carry out the biggest taboo in alchemy-human body refining! It is an alchemy art that wants to resurrect the dead, and it is an alchemy that is banned by the state.

These two self-taught teenagers paid a "toll" for the door of truth because of the rebound effect when they failed. Edward lost his left foot and Al lost his whole body. In order to save his brother, Ed sacrificed his right arm to fix his brother's soul to a pair of armor.

Edward's lost right arm and left leg were replaced by steel prosthetic limbs called "Mechanical Armor", so when he obtained the national alchemist qualification, the president gave him the title of "Steel", and was known as the "Alchemist of Steel".

However, in the eyes of civilians, the national alchemist is the number one lackey of the state. In order to pursue the Philosopher's Stone, which can be infinitely refined without paying a price, the Lost Boy and the ** Boy found Bishop Cornello, who can perform "miracles" and deceive the world with the title of "Agent of the Sun God Leto".

The two battled with the bishop in the midst of the obstacles of citizens and believers......

――That's all there is to send, that should be enough, right?

Limu went to the post office to send three couriers, although the ordinary mail shipping will be cheaper, but the express map is a fast word. He can't wait to become a real professional cartoonist.

The publisher decides whether or not to adopt a comic: one looks at the manga artist's drawing style, and the other looks at the idea of the entire comic. If the idea is good, but the comic is at the kindergarten level, this kind of cartoonist's comic book will certainly not be adopted; If the manga artist's drawing style is good, but the idea is a little problematic, the publisher will give the manga artist a chance to re-conceive it.

The former is known as a hand-disabled cartoonist, and the latter is known as a brain-disabled cartoonist.

Which publisher to choose?

――Of course, it's a normal manga artist!

Limu is confident that the style of painting is exactly the same as the original.,The plot is also copied and copied.,It's too unreasonable if the publishing house doesn't adopt it.,Now it's a big deal to vote for three publishing houses at the same time.。

It takes a long time to wait for a reply.

******

During this time, you have to prepare carefully for the final exam.

The final exams were held on Thursday and Friday on the 25th and 26th, and only two subjects were examined, namely Chinese and Mathematics. The 27th and 28th are Saturdays and Sundays, and the teachers will work overtime to revise the papers in these two days, and the school will issue report cards on the 29th to open the school ceremony, and after the school dismissal ceremony, it will be the students' long-lost summer vacation.

However, Riki's goal is not just to score double 100 points in the second grade, even if he gets a double percentage in the second grade, he will not be able to jump directly to the sixth grade. In order to get his diploma as soon as possible, he must be able to score 95 points or more in all grade points. God knows what grade skipping questions the dean will assign to him?

Since the 20th, Riki has decided to start munching on books, including books and exam questions for all grades that can be borrowed from the library.

In the self-study class on the afternoon of the Monday before the final exam.

"Huh? Won't you draw anymore? Since Limu's family "let Limu go freely", Mr. Zhang also began to ignore Limu.

In the past month, Riki has given her the impression of a "child who actively sketches in class", with simple sketches and messy grids, which don't look like she is drawing a four-panel comic at all, and is completely a child doing graffiti games.

Only Riki himself knows that he is drawing line drawings, and irregular compositions are a developing trend in the manga, but unfortunately they have not yet become popular in inland areas.

- Apparently ignoring me so perfectly for a while now......

Riki was depressed and hoped that the teacher would continue to ignore him, but suddenly changed from being enthusiastic about drawing manga to being enthusiastic about reading books, and no matter how he looked at it, it was strange that he suddenly drew in class like before.

"We're going to skip a grade, let's read the book first." In this regard, Riki grinned and explained his purpose simply and clearly: "The content of the second grade of elementary school is not very suitable for me, and I can endure it a year or two earlier, but now I feel more and more bored." ”

Teacher Zhang's face became very strange, and he immediately returned to an indifferent expression: "I have heard from the head of grade teaching that there are parents in our second grade and fourth class who help their children apply for grade skipping. ”

"Huh?! My mom has already applied for a grade skip for me? Riki confirmed it in disbelief just in case she was mistaken.

"Suddenly called the principal and said that her son was going to skip a grade, but she couldn't tell what grade she was jumping to, and finally in order not to ignore the opinions of the parents, the grade director decided to give you a strength test after the exam, and I came to confirm with you what grade you want to skip to."

- My mother really trusted me and did it so quickly.

Limu staggered his gaze, looked at the corridor, and said indifferently: "It's almost the sixth grade of elementary school, so it's enough." ”

The sixth grade of primary school is the top of the primary school.

"I think you'll be in fifth grade at most—huh. You don't have the possibility to skip the sixth grade. ”

"Uh......"

When Riki saw the Chinese textbook in his hand, he suddenly reacted, he had been thinking about his previous experience, and completely ignored the fact that he had only been in the sixth grade of elementary school since his own generation. When there was no curriculum reform a year ago, primary school has always been a five-year education, and the older generation of seniors graduated from college and started one year younger than their juniors!

In other words, the current third-graders are actually still in a five-year elementary school!

"Slip of the tongue, haven't I been reading the fifth grade book, thanks to the teacher's good words, the little one must jump to the fifth grade!" Riki said embarrassedly.

"Are you sure it's fifth grade? The school will prepare three comprehensive papers for you, and the English we have not learned is also included in the strength test. The head teacher specially reminded.

She said "we" instead of "you", and apparently still regarded Riki as a member of the class.

The last time Teacher Zhang was angry, the problem was that she was late for ten minutes, when she learned that she had failed in the shopping for the title of teacher, and she was late for work, and she was in a bad mood after the two items were added. As Riki said, it's like a powder keg full of gunpowder, whoever lights it is blown up. Unfortunately, he and his sister-in-law were late that day, and they were stabbed by the disciplinary committee again......

Riki turned her gaze to Lu Wei beside her, this little girl has been acting a little strange lately, as if she is becoming more and more alienated from herself. However, Limu is not surprised, since she married her sister, she has not seen Lu Wei give him a good face. Thinking about preparation, he is not in the same class, and Riki is too lazy to find himself bored.

Speaking of Lu Wei, she got married several years earlier than Limu.

After graduating, Riki felt that his job was unstable and that he was not capable of starting a family. After the last resignation, for various reasons, I finally got along with Lu Wei's sister. With the burden of his family, he had no choice but to work under the queen bee, and he no longer struggled to wander around like a headless fly.

After the demolition of Pingnan Village, the villagers were scattered and resettled, and they had not seen Lu Wei for several years since graduating from high school, and even had no time to attend the wedding banquet because of work, and they did not meet Lu Wei again until they married Lu Hui. It's strange that it's obviously a childhood sweetheart.,But when we met again, Riki didn't have any feelings for her.,All I can remember is the awkward scene of elementary school-

For example, when she gets angry, she throws Riki's pencil case out the window.

When responding, Riki angrily grabbed her by the collar and picked her up.

For example, she angrily threw Riki's textbook out the window.

When responding, Riki immediately slapped the table and yelled at her.

……

These have become memories of Riki alone.

The two are enemies, but they are definitely not happy enemies.

“……”

“……”

After the last self-study class, on the way home from school, there was an occasional sentence or two of Riki, but now I can't catch a word. Although Riki didn't care if there was anything to talk about on the road, she didn't want the little girl to continue to be depressed.

Lu Wei was silent.

There was thunder in the distance, and the thunderstorm season was approaching, and although Nanhua was located on the Tropic of Cancer, the wind skimmed over the treetops and made it feel cold to watch.

"I said--if you hate me, go with Hongjing and them in the future." Since I was a child, I have never understood my sister-in-law's mind, and the surname Limusuo confessed to her directly on the way home.

"Why?" Lu Wei asked.

"I think you're hating me, you haven't talked much lately, don't grieve yourself if you're unhappy."

"......" Lu Wei fell silent again, and there was a sign of trembling and crying.

"If not, I want to know why you don't speak......"

"......" Lu Wei's cheeks and eye bags were already wrinkled.

Riki is all too familiar with this expression, isn't this the prelude to the second before his daughter held back and was ready to cry!

"Okay, okay, I won't ask, if you call me tomorrow morning, I'll go with you, if you don't call me, I'll treat you as if you hate me and don't want to meet me, okay?" Riki can't see her daughter crying the most.

The most troublesome thing is that Lu Wei looks very similar to her daughter, and she is simply a pear pear after she is three or four years old.

"Hmmm......"

Lu Wei's surname is not good at socializing, and she always adopts an evasive attitude when she feels subtle and unpredictable, and if she does not pay attention, there is no way to know her thoughts. ――However, the pear wood is much more mature than before, and it knows how to put it away on key issues, giving customers time to choose which honey to buy.

Although he still didn't understand what Lu Wei was awkward, it didn't prevent him from making the right response.

"I ask you ......"

Lu Wei fell silent again, and did not speak until she reached the school gate. But as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he realized that the person he was talking to was gone, followed by a strange long scream.

"Hey, hey――――――――!"

I saw Riki standing in front of the bulletin board next to the entrance of the campus, staring closely at a pair of propaganda boards, as if there was some great surprise discovery of the century. When the board appeared in front of Rimu, he suddenly felt his mouth open......

"National Youth and Children's Summer Vacation Painting Grand Prix?!" Riki muttered.

Riki couldn't help but almost scold, this special mission stuck him for more than a month.

"Riki?" Lu Wei called softly.

"Let's go, go home! Brother is happy today, and he wants to eat beef offal, rice noodles across the bridge, and rock sugar gourd on the road. I will pay, you will help! ”

"Riki you want to participate in this?"

【National Youth and Children's Summer Vacation Painting Grand Prix】

There are no rare words, Lu Wei can understand it.

"Of course, just participate in this! You come to be my model, and I'll show you a champion. Riki patted his chest and confidently invited.

Draw a daughter - he's a master!

"Hmm-" Lu Wei nodded in acquiescence.
