The Tokyo Youth Art Awards allow high school students to participate in both student and adult competitions.

After all, the original intention of this art appreciation competition is to cultivate the art literacy of Tokyo high school students, and the organizer of the Japan Art Education Association is actually very welcome if you have this strength or self-confidence.

But that's just an official statement.

Who is going to compete in both the student and adult categories? Who can't think so?

High school students compare with college students and amateur painters... That's simply going to find abuse.

After all, it's impossible for anyone to compete in both the student and adult categories and still win a gold medal – that's how it should be.

At least until today.

"It's the first time I've seen this happen," muttered to the middle-aged active painter as he looked at "Tokyo Sunset Impression" and "Tokyo", which were submitted as gold awards.

The Tokyo Youth Painting Festival has been held thirty or forty times, and as long as it is not a natural or man-made disaster, it is basically held once a year.

In these thirty or forty times, there has never been a high school student who has won a gold prize in both the adult and student categories.

But it is precisely this conventional fact that has been broken today.

This is undoubtedly a monumental moment.

If it weren't for the fact that Tsukasa Higashino's work was so good, they wouldn't have dared to make such a decision.

The Youth Painting Award is still quite an authoritative event among the young generation, and the double gold award will definitely be reported by countless magazines and media.

If the quality of Higashino's work is not good or close to the quality of Kuronomiya Akisa's "Kamikyo", maybe they will choose "Kamikyo".

After all, the double gold award is too controversial, and they don't need to risk being scolded by the media as 'old and dizzy'.

But it is precisely the quality of Tsukasa Higashino's "Tokyo" that is so high! Kuronomiya Akisa's "Shangjing" can't be compared at all.

That's why they chose Tokyo with such confidence.

"I didn't expect the double gold medal of the Youth Painting Award to be awarded from me..."

Yamauchi muttered to himself on the first floor, but there was no regret in his voice.

The only regret is that Kuronomiya Misa was really unlucky, and she actually bumped into the dark horse of Higashino Tsukasa and was overturned directly.

"Shangjing" can't compare to "Tokyo", that's an obvious thing, and he can't do that kind of thing in favor of students.

No one could have imagined that Tsukasa Higashino alone would be able to win the double gold medal of the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards.

The first floor of Yamauchi shook his head, threw his superfluous thoughts out of his mind, said hello to the person in charge of the event, and walked straight out the door.

He took out his phone and dialed a phone number.

After a while, the phone was connected, and it turned to the familiar voice of Kuronomiya Akisa: "Hey? Yamauchi-sensei? ”

"Black Palace, the final result of the Youth Painting Award is out." Yamauchi was notified on the first floor: "The gold reward for the adult group is not you. ”

According to the general rules, he is actually obliged to keep the results confidential and not to pass on the results of the review.

But Kuronomiya Akisa is a student on the first floor of Yamauchi, and her mouth is very tight, so she can still enjoy a little special treatment.

Akira Kuronomiya on the other side of the phone was silent for a while when she heard this, and then spoke: "Is it Mr. Higashino's "Tokyo"?" ”

"Huh?"

Kuronomiya Akisa suddenly said the name of Tsukasa Higashino, which made the first floor of Yamauchi ask her in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

"The last time I met him on the street... The painting "Tokyo" was painted with my canvas and painting tools. Kuronomiya Akira explained in a flat voice.

Find a feeling on the streets.

Others may not understand Kuronomiya Akisa's words, but Yamauchi can understand the first floor, because this is Kuronomiya Akisa's method of finding inspiration.

Only by being close to life can we create a true work of art.

It's just—

Tsukasa Higashino actually used Kuronomiya Akisa's painting tools and canvas? And robbed her of her gold reward?

If this were someone else, it would probably be infuriating.

Yamauchi's expression on the first floor was a little subtle, as if Kuronomiya Akira over there was not only not angry, but also breathed out reassuringly?

"Don't you feel anything?"

Yamauchi was the other party's mentor on the first floor, and he didn't lose his temper, so he asked her as calmly as possible.

"Didn't feel it... Yes... There should be, I was very unwilling before, but then I thought that "Shangjing" was indeed not as good as his "Tokyo", so there was nothing unwilling. ”

Kuronomiya Akisa's voice was steady: "It's good to work hard next time." ”

It would be nice to try again next time.

Kuromiya Akisa told her so, and her voice seemed calm.

But the first floor of the mountain next to it can be clearly heard... Kuronomiya Mingsha is actually still very unwilling, and she is also very anxious...

After all, everyone paints, and who wants to admit who is weaker than whom?

"Well, let's go then."

The first floor of Yamauchi opened his mouth to comfort him.

The anxious state of mind may not be good, but if he tries to comfort him now, it may be counterproductive, so he doesn't talk much.

He hung up the phone, looked at the sign of the Japan Art Education Association not far away, and couldn't help but laugh twice.

Two more days and wait until the results are announced... I guess those media newspapers are about to start...

The winner of the Double Gold Award for Youth Painting is a high school student.

Is there a hotter topic than that?

That estimates... Didn't you?

Thinking that there would be an award ceremony and all sorts of things to prepare for later, Yamauchi only felt that his head was going to be big.

Fortunately, he is not a staff member, so he just needs to show his face when the time comes.

......

After hanging up the call, Kuromiya Akira stared at the "Tokyo" saved in the photo album of her phone and fell into a long thought.

Whether it's the color matching or the sophistication of the brushstrokes, he can't compare to Tsukasa Higashino...

And on my side, I am usually running around for the update of "Between the Dolls".

How on earth can you win the other party?

She didn't speak, just lost in thought.

After a while, Kuronomiya Akisa's roommate Chimi Nagawa took a shower and came out of the bathroom, looking at Kuronomiya Akisa's staring at "Tokyo" and thinking, she couldn't help asking:

"Today seems to be the day of the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards, right? Mingsha, how did the final result be? ”

Chimi Nagawa is also a student on the first floor of Yamauchi, but unlike Kuronomiya Akisa, she is the 'rebel' in the eyes of the first floor of Yamauchi, and she can be angry with the kind of 'rebel' on the first floor of Yamauchi.

If it weren't for the fact that Chimi Nagawa's father still had something to do with the first floor of Yamauchi, he would have kicked Chimi Nagawa out of the class he was bringing with him.

“... It was Higashino-sensei's "Tokyo" that won. Took the gold reward. Kuronomiya Akisa heard the voice of her friend and replied.

"Ah, wow, this Higashino... Isn't that too powerful? Speaking of which, isn't Yamauchi Tutor in charge of the review? Why didn't he reward you with gold? ”

"It's just that the skills are not as good as people."

Hearing Chimi Nagawa mention Tsukasa Higashino again, Kuronomiya Akisa's heart inevitably fluctuated, and she replied by biting her lower lip.

Hey—

It's true that the skills are not as good as people.

But...

Still a little angry.
