My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

Early in the morning, a large group of media reporters had gathered outside the art award venue.

This art award was not only highly valued within the art circle, but also outside, the fact that the Minister of Culture served as a judge was highly discussed.

Many people want to see what kind of work can catch the eyes of the Minister of Culture this time.

As a leader in the education sector, many people who had not paid attention to this game could not help but become very interested.

Due to various reasons, this game has become the most watched game in history.

"Cough, cough, cough."

"Hey, Shandao, are you catching a cold?"

Among the reporters, two reporters from Tokyo TV were standing in the crowd, waiting for the award ceremony to begin.

However, it seems that the health of one of them is not so good.

"It's okay, Senior Yueshui. I just stayed up a little late last night. I'll be fine after a rest."

Looking at the tired look of the young reporter, if I'm not mistaken, he must have finally fallen asleep very late last night.

After all, they have been waiting for today's award ceremony since last night.

It's not just the contestants who are nervous about the outcome of this competition.

As reporters, they need to come here very early and wait.

"Wait a minute, you don't have time to rest. As a reporter, you have to be ready to fight at any time. So, you young people don't know the importance of rest. For an important interview like today, if you make a mistake, you may lose your job."

The reporter named Yueshui was lecturing the young man named Shandao and wanted to take a cigarette out of his pocket.

But after looking at the dense crowds around him, he finally chose to give up.

In fact, how much better could he be? He had been waiting for a seat since last night. If he hadn't been used to this kind of work, he probably wouldn't be much better than this young man.

But who made this silly boy choose this profession?

Every profession has its own troubles. Who among these journalists around me doesn’t have them?

"But senior, there are so many people coming this time. There are so many people coming so early."

Shandao looked at the reporters around him who were still munching on rice balls absentmindedly, and could tell that many of them probably didn't sleep for even a minute last night.

"Yes, after all, this time you will be interviewing the Minister of Culture, so you have to be alert. This is your first time working as an outbound reporter. Listen to me carefully. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Senior."

After hearing Yueshui's words, Shandao immediately perked up.

Around ten o'clock, the venue gradually began to allow reporters to enter.

These reporters formed a crowd and continued to pour into the selection venue.

There was not much space to begin with, and it was instantly filled up by these reporters.

At this moment, in the center of the venue, the fifteen judges of this selection were sitting on chairs. The serious atmosphere made it almost silent in the venue.

However, privately, everyone was still discussing what kind of work would win the gold prize in this competition.

Many people at the venue already knew who the winner was, but they were very curious about what kind of work it was.

Most of the people who came here today came for this.

"Senior, why do I feel like many people already know who the first place winner is? Wasn't the result announced today?"

At this time, Shandao, as a newcomer, asked his predecessors with some curiosity.

Shandao felt very confused, especially when he heard the whispers around him.

"Silly boy, the rankings were actually announced last night. At least one-third of the people who came here today already know the final result."

"So what are these people doing here? There's obviously no suspense anymore."

"Boy, you still have a lot to learn. Besides, what came out this time is said to be an incredible thing."

"Is that so?"

After hearing the words of his senior, Shandao felt a little confused. What kind of thing came out this time?

As the award ceremony began, people present soon saw the winning works.

As mentioned before, Nan Yunxiao and Ze Ye Qingzi won two of the bronze medals, and the two silver medals were won by two top students from the Academy of Fine Arts as expected.

The painting skills of these two are actually not much different from those of Nan Yun Xiao and Sawano Kiyoko, and are even slightly inferior. However, the judges believed that these two were better than them in proposition, and immediately ranked them in the silver award position.

However, in the eyes of the audience, it was more like the minister wanted to avoid suspicion. After all, if he let someone with his connections take the position, there would be a lot of excuses. When the two were of similar strength, it would be a good idea to suppress them appropriately.

However, the winner of the last bronze award was somewhat surprising.

Unexpectedly, the last spot was taken by Eriri. To be able to win the bronze medal in such an important competition, it can be seen that Eriri's reputation as a genius is indeed not exaggerated.

You should know that among the high school students, apart from Naoto, Eriri was the only one who won the award.

Soon, the work reached the point where the last gold prize winner, Naoto, did not appear.

At this time, Shandao was staring at the huge screen carefully, not wanting to miss any opportunity.

The reporters around him had the same idea, and all their cameras were pointed at the podium.

“Is it coming!?”

When Naoto's work was put up by the staff, the entire venue burst into exclamations.

The sea, the starry sky, their companions, countless illusions appeared before their eyes. So real, so moving.

When the stars beyond the abyss appeared before everyone's eyes, the tears in the corners of their eyes were so real and beautiful.

Perhaps even Naoto himself did not expect that after the system upgraded his skills, he could achieve such a level by giving it his all.

Just one glance is enough to drag everyone into fantasy.

If there weren't all kinds of strange things happening in this world, Naoto would probably have been dragged to live in a research institute for a while.

And when the fantasy disappeared, everyone understood why there were rumors that the winner this time would be an extremely powerful person.

Everyone also understands that Naoto is no longer the number one genius of the younger generation. He can be called the number one genius in Japan.

In the corner of the venue, Nan Yunxiao showed a bitter smile.

At this moment, he finally understood how big the gap was between him and Yamashita Naoto.

Naoto definitely deserves the first place this time.

"But you only won this time! I will definitely come back next time! Yamashita Naoto, just wait for me!"

At this moment, Nan Yunxiao thought secretly in his heart.

Chapter 187: I'm just an ordinary high school student

"Phew! The years are peaceful and quiet, it's really nice."

In the principal's office of PK College, the principal of PK School was drinking tea leisurely.

Not only that, at this time even Teacher Matsuzaki was sitting next to the principal, drinking tea leisurely.

The two of them were just like two old men, sighing at the beauty of life.

"It's been really peaceful lately. Without Naoto-kun in school, it's really been a lot more relaxing. Nothing much is going on. Not bad, not bad."

"Yes, those troublesome guys in the school have all been busy recently. It's really great that we can have such a good rest time."

As Mr. Matsuzaki was talking to the principal, he couldn't help but think of the people in the creative department who received the most attention from the schools.

Let’s not talk about the two first-year students, Kou and Akito, for now. Senior Mai has recently taken a temporary leave because she has to shoot a work.

Hachiman and Sakuta each have their own things to do, and no one causes trouble in the school, which makes the teachers and leaders very happy.

Finally, I don’t have to worry about how to clean up after these people.

Although these troublesome guys are all elites in the school, they have already achieved great success in society before graduating from high school.

Even if he doesn't go to college in the future, he will probably have a bright future and teachers like him won't have to worry about him. But when something really happens, it's like an exploding bomb, which is impossible to guard against.

Especially that Zhiren, he was really good at making trouble. Just the last time Nanyun Xiao's incident gave him, as the principal, a headache. This guy could have offended anyone else, but he also went against the eldest son of the Nanyun family. What could he do as the principal?

What makes Mr. Matsuzaki headache is that people who are with Naoto, no matter how normal they were before, will gradually become strange afterwards.

Think about how quiet Nan Zi was back then, but now she follows Naoto and gets into a lot of trouble.

"Speaking of Yamashita-san, how are his grades recently? Although Yamashita-san is now a gifted student, don't forget his academic performance."

"Yamashita-san's academic performance is currently ranked 15th in his class. Maybe I don't need to worry about it."

"Yes, is that so? By the way, why are Yamashita-kun's grades so good?"

"I really want to know about this kind of thing."

They are Naoto's homeroom teacher, but all he does every day is draw comics and sleep. For some reason, his grades are so good that they can't even find any trouble for him.

Maybe this is what is called genius?

"Beep beep."

Just when the two felt that they had suffered an extremely terrible blow, the phone in the principal's office suddenly rang.

"Hello, this is Songdao."

"Yeah, yes, that's right. What! Another award?! Or today's award?!"

At this time, after receiving a call from President Fujino, the principal once again felt the gap in life.

It had only been a short time, but Naoto had won another trophy. And the gold content of this trophy was so high that it was terrifying.

Not only are all the judges professors from the five major colleges, but there is even the Minister of Culture. Even an international award would not be more than this.

After hearing the principal's voice, Mr. Matsuzaki, who was standing by, knew who won the prize without having to guess.

Who else could cause such a big reaction from the principal except his good student Naoto?

After the principal hung up the phone, Teacher Matsuzaki clearly saw Principal Zheng rubbing his eyes in pain, as if he was very troubled by this matter.

"Principal, what do you think about this?"

"What else can I say? I never expected that Yamashita-san would be so amazing this time. Even the minister praised him so much."

"so……"

"So, what else can we do? Let's use that plan."

Teacher Matsuzaki understood what the principal meant by the look of helplessness yet excitement.

On the other side, after Naoto walked down from the podium, he saw Nan Yunxiao who was staring at him in the corner.

For some reason, Naoto actually walked directly towards Nan Yunxiao at this time.

The reporters who were originally planning to gather around, when they saw this situation, all stood still and looked at the two men excitedly.

You know, these two people have been incompatible since before, and now they are standing together, what kind of intense sparks will happen?

At this moment, Naoto looked at Nan Yunxiao, his heart unusually calm. Instead of feeling the annoyance he had when they met before, he felt a sense of relief.

After several months of recuperation, Nan Yunxiao lost a lot of weight.

At this moment, his previous arrogance was completely gone, and instead he looked calm.

"This time, you win."

"Well, I won."

The first words the two said when they met happened in this way.

This surprised the reporters around. Nan Yunxiao, who was incredibly stubborn, actually admitted defeat.

Even Naoto was somewhat surprised that Nan Yun Xiao gave up so decisively. This person seemed to have changed a lot compared to the previous few months.

"You are very strong, indeed very strong. At least I am definitely not your opponent right now. I really want to know how you did it. That momentary illusion was as if you had concentrated all your energy into the painting. Who are you?"

At this moment, Nan Yunxiao stared at Naoto. The world he had seen from Naoto's paintings before seemed to be real. Such a painting was definitely not something a high school student could master.

As for Nan Yunxiao's question, the people around him also had the same question. That momentary illusion was so real and beautiful, how did it happen?

"Me? I'm just an ordinary high school student painter. When I have nothing to do, I like to draw comics and create things that I like. It's not as mysterious as you say."

"A normal high school student?"

After hearing Naoto's words, not only Nan Yunxiao found it absurd, but even the reporters around him found it extremely ridiculous.
