My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

Putting aside other things, your identity as the strongest cartoonist of today's young generation is not something that an ordinary high school student can describe. What's the difference between this and telling lies with open eyes?

Have you ever seen a high school student draw a piece of work that can create an illusion that seems so real?

"Oh, one day, I will uncover the secret in your painting, and then I will challenge you again. Yamashita Naoto, you have to remember this, I, Nan Yunxiao, may have lost, but one day I will win back!"

"I'll see."

Chapter 188: Ying Lili joins the Creation Club

"Wow, it's Naoto-kun, he actually came to class today!"

"I heard that he won the gold medal at the art awards held by the five major art academies. It's incredible that a high school student can achieve such a high achievement."

"The Art Grand Prize is nothing. I heard he was even praised by the Minister of Culture."

"The point is, this guy's comic book skills are extremely high, and One Punch Man's recent plot is simply amazing."

"No, I have to go get an autograph!"

At this time, Naoto was walking on the way to school, enduring the strange looks from the students around him.

Although Naoto was a celebrity in the school before, this was the first time he had a discussion like today.

It felt like he had turned into a giant panda in the zoo. Why did these people look at him with such disgust?

Obviously, Naoto was supposed to go on the trip with Kusunoko, but before leaving, Kusunoko directly rejected Naoto and went to school first.

"Naoto, I have a duty at school today, so I'll go over first."

"Oh, okay. I'll be going to school soon. Nanzi, take me with you."

At that time, Naoto didn't think much about it. He simply thought that Kusunoki was just going to clean up in advance.

But when Naoto turned around, he found that the room was empty.

Nan Zi actually used teleportation and went directly to school.

Then Naoto knew why Kusunoki didn't want to go to school with him today.

It's so shameful to feel like we're being treated as a rare animal.

"What the hell is going on? Is it worth so many people's attention to such a crappy art award?"

Naoto was particularly annoyed at this time. It was obviously not so exaggerated when he won the Nebula Award before. Why did so many people know about this time, just an art award?

Soon, Naoto understood why the discussion this time was so outrageous.

"Congratulations to our outstanding student, Naoto Yamashita, for winning the Grand Prize of the Art Grand Prize!"

At the school gate, there was a large banner placed in the most conspicuous place of the school gate. Any student passing by could basically see it at first glance.

At this moment, Naoto felt that a string of reason in his brain had been completely broken.

"F*ck me, you guys are going to kill me, right?"

Under the gaze of countless people at the school gate, Naoto really couldn't help but swear.

Naoto felt ashamed to have his name posted in such a place by the school and to be watched by everyone.

Although he had seen winners of major competitions being hung on banners in China before, he did not expect that even Japan had such a practice.

The key point is, why is it so uncomfortable to be hung up?

Feeling the strange looks from all around him, Naoto ran away in a hurry, without even going to the classroom. He hid in the creative department and refused to go out.

Naoto made up his mind that unless he had to attend classes, he would stay here the rest of the time.

"Oh wow, our famous person looks very sad. You are really amazing. You were actually hung on the school gate by the school leaders. As far as I know, this is the first case in PK Academy."

At noon, Sakuta looked at Naoto with a sad face and couldn't help but start talking to him.

Although right now Naoto really wants to punch this guy in the face.

But in the end I gave up.

"Go away, stop bothering me, that's enough. There are so many ways to talk about this, why do they have to use this one?"

"Hey, they're not the ones to be ashamed anyway, right? But Minister of Culture, Naoto, how do you feel? Does that person look upon you with new eyes?"

Sakuta couldn't help but become interested when he heard in the news that the Minister of Culture was very optimistic about Naoto.

After all, the Minister of Culture can usually only be seen on TV news. Now that straight people are valued by others, straight people are really going further and further.

"I don't know. I didn't look closely. Besides, I'm just an ordinary high school student. How could I be valued by others?"

"Haha, an ordinary high school student? Why are you pretending to be so stupid in front of me? Tell the truth now!"

"Boom!"

Just as Naoto and Sakuta were playing with each other, suddenly, the door of the club was opened.

At this time, the blonde Eriri walked into the club with a terrifying expression.

When Eriri joined the club, everyone in the club felt an inexplicable pressure.

(Oh, what a terrible grudge. What on earth is wrong with this person?)

(Isn’t this Eriri, the ace of the art club? Is she here to challenge us?)

(Eh? Didn’t Hachiman and Naoto invite her to the Creation Club last time? Why are they… today?)

Eriri's uninvited arrival, especially with such a terrifying aura, made the entire creative club panic for a while.

"Um? I remembered I still have two manuscripts to draw. I'll go back first."

"I also remembered that I have homework to do. I'm leaving now!"

"Ah? It's already this late, seniors, I'm leaving first."

When they saw that Eriri had bad intentions, the remaining people in the club just left without any loyalty.

Only Naoto and Sakuta were left staring at each other.

"Uh, Naoto, I remembered that I already had an appointment with Mai-senpai, I'll go first..."

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Just when Sakuta was about to start, he was pulled down by Naoto.

"You bastard, you still want to leave? Don't even think about it!"

"Let me go! This is something you and Hachiman caused, don't hold me back!"

"They say good brothers walk together for life, how can you ignore brotherhood!"

"Don't make trouble, I still want to live a few more years!"

At this moment, seeing the commotion between Naoto and Sakuta, the resentment emanating from Eriri seemed to become even stronger.

Such resentment was so terrifying that even Nan Zi, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but feel it.

Under Eriri's deathly gaze, Naoto and Sakuta could only slowly sit up straight and face Eriri.

"Um, Eriri-san, what's the matter with you coming to our place this time?"

When Naoto saw Eriri's expression, his first reaction was that after he defeated Eriri in the competition, this girl held a grudge against him and planned to die together with Naoto.

"You guy, you actually forgot?!"

"Forgot? Forgot what?"

Naoto was stunned for about ten seconds after hearing what Eriri said.

"Of course, I'm here to join the Creative Society!"

"Hey?"

Chapter 189: The Furious Art Department Director

In the Creation Club, Eriri was sitting alone on a chair, exuding a strong and terrifying aura.

Before, Yukino said that this would allow Eriri to join the Creation Club, but the others were a little skeptical. Unexpectedly, after Naoto really defeated Eriri, Eriri actually joined the Creation Club.

Although Eriri looked a little dissatisfied, she at least kept her promise. It seems that she is a trustworthy person.

"But then again, the fact that the head of the art club actually let Eriri go is what surprised me the most."

"That's true. I can already imagine how angry the minister must be."

When they thought about the fact that Eriri, who won the bronze medal in the art award, had quit the art club and joined their creation club, they could imagine how angry the head of the art club must be.

And just as Naoto and the others had guessed, when he heard that Eriri had won the bronze medal, the head of the art club was extremely happy.

Even the fact that Naoto had won the gold prize was simply forgotten by the minister, as if he had completely forgotten about it.

Before the Creation Society was founded, the Art Department could be said to be the leader of art in the school.

But after Naoto came to PK Academy and set up a creative club, he put the art department under great pressure.

They are obviously the experts in art, so why is it that Naoto Yamashita, who just changed his career path, can win so many awards?

But now, their art department finally has someone who can win a prize, and it's such a top-notch competition in the country. How can this not make the director of the art department happy?

You know, these are all indispensable parts of his life resume.

But what I didn't expect was that when I just came here today, Eriri directly announced her withdrawal from the art club and joined the creation club.

When the Minister of Art heard the news, he almost burst into tears.

"Yamashita Naoto, I will never forgive you!"

In the Art Department, the head of the Art Department let out a deafening roar, which scared the members who had not yet entered and made them dare not come in.

"I say, what do you think of me, Eriri?! I said I'll join you if you win, and I'm not someone who doesn't have credibility. Could it be that you let me join the club just to amuse me?"

"No, no, no, how could that be? I'm just a little surprised that you came here so quickly. Welcome to the Creation Club, Eriri-san."

Although he is a little worried about Eriri's attitude, since Eriri has chosen to join the Creation Club, Naoto will not give up on such a talented painter so easily.

Who wouldn't want a genius that they found for free? This is a real genius, not a cheat like Naoto.

"But let me make it clear first. Although I have joined the Creation Club and become a partner, I still have to pay for the illustrations! Is that okay?"

"Well, there is indeed no problem with this."

Hachiman had no objection to Eriri needing money to draw illustrations. Hachiman had already prepared the money.

"That's good. Then, I'll charge you 10,000 yuan for each copy. Is that okay?"

"Ten thousand yuan?! Is this price really okay?"

"Well, we are friends after all, so you should give me a discount."

The fact that Ying Lili's price of 10,000 yuan was just a friendly price made those who didn't understand the market situation a little shocked.

Is being an illustrator such a lucrative profession?

In fact, with the prices charged by top Japanese artists, illustrations usually cost more than 10,000 yuan.

As one of the most popular painters at present, Eriri's asking price is only 10,000, which is indeed a friendly price.

Although Eriri can choose not to accept the money, I'm afraid Hachiman would feel embarrassed to not give it.

Besides, the industry price is there, and Ying Lili has no right to change the price.

Before creating illustrations exclusively for Hachiman, Eriri needs to carefully read Hachiman's novels to study the various characters and required images in the novels.

The general plot of "Goodbye Mr. Despair" is:

Born in a problematic class, the 2nd grade group, all 32 students in the class had been held back and were known as "desperate students". The head teacher of the class was a young man named Itoshiki Nozomi. Born on November 11, he was the fourth child in the family. He wore glasses and liked to wear kimonos. All his outfits were nostalgic. He liked reading, and was a fan of Dazai Osamu's "No Longer Human". He loved sweets. His parents lived in Kuraisawa, Shinshu Prefecture, and were a wealthy family there. His catchphrase was "Desperate! Desperate!" Because the first two characters of his name together formed "Jue", he was nicknamed "Mr. Despair" by his classmates.

During the time that Mr. Despair was a teacher, interesting stories happened to him and his eccentric students.

It contains many interesting stories and life philosophies, and can be regarded as an excellent work.

"In fact, I also created a character design for Hachiman before. You can refer to it when you create it. If you are not satisfied, you can throw it aside."

At this time, Naoto handed the rough character design he had created previously to Eriri.

These characters were all roughly designed by Naoto based on his own memories.

To be honest, Mr. Despair’s original character design is not very outstanding. Among the many exquisite character designs, he can only be considered as an acceptable one.

But after Naoto's work, it can be considered exquisite.
