My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

After much thought, Naoto finally chose his pen name.

ONE, this painting style is like that of an elementary school student, but he created the impressive One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100.

Even though ONE could barely afford to eat and had to go to work, he still did not give up on comics and eventually became a comic master admired by the younger generation.

As expected, Naoto also wanted to be a cartoonist who was interested in the cartoon.

Because there is no trace of Teacher ONE in this world.

So Naoto, just choose to be ONE.

"ONE? I hope you can really become the ONE in your mind."

At this point, Naoto's pen name was determined.

What kind of storm will the name ONE bring about in this world?

Chapter 8: JUMP Release

Monday is the day when the weekly "Weekly Shonen Jump" is released.

As a favorite of Japanese teenagers, many teenagers flock to buy JUMP early every Monday morning.

In fact, not only teenagers, but many adults also like these comics. After all, many of them are childhood memories that they have been reading since they were young.

After buying comics, teenagers usually take them to school and read them with their friends. They then discuss the subsequent developments of some classic comics and things like the evaluation of new comics.

However, Masamune No. 3 and Takagi Akito do not belong to any of the above categories.

As readers, this time, they are more like comic book authors who want to see how their works perform.

"The best! Look! Our work is really published in JUPM! It's like a dream!"

"This is not a dream! Akito, look at our work!"

Seeing their hard-earned work finally appear on the JUMP stage, these middle school students couldn't wait to shout with excitement on the street.

If they didn't care about what other people on the street thought of them, they would probably do the same.

After excitedly reading their own works in JUMP, the two gradually calmed down.

After calming down, the two turned their attention to other short comics.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. If you want to get serialized, you naturally have to know the strength of your opponent.

“Everyone’s paintings are pretty good.”

"But compared to us, it's still far behind!"

Just when the two were excitedly looking at the comics in their hands and fantasizing that they were about to become serial cartoonists, the next comic made them both stunned.

On the cover, a silver-haired girl stands on a tall building, holding a blade emitting scarlet light in her hand.

Even in the blank space of the screen, it was written that the starring actor was Liloai. The director, lighting, photography, and makeup artist were all ONE.

At first glance, it looks like they are filming a movie.

As the film approaches, the main plot begins.

The male protagonist Ye Ren said at the beginning that his real name was Ye Blade and he was actually a vampire hunter.

Just when Souma and Akito were wondering why a vampire hunter would wear a high school uniform, the next scene shifted to the protagonist being bullied by the school bully.

Until now, the male protagonist still says that he is just enduring it.

"This person, is he a chuunibyou?"

"Yeah, chuunibyou is the right word."

Seeing the appearance of the male protagonist Ye Ren, Qiu Ren and Gao Zu immediately understood the setting of the protagonist.

He is probably just a middle school student with a bad temper who can only talk nonsense but has no ability at all.

Immediately afterwards, the hero's sister also appeared beside him and taught him a lesson, telling him not to fantasize about those nonsense all day long.

But the following plot made the two of them confused.

When the male protagonist heard his sister say that he was being followed, Ye Ren's first reaction was to seek help from the teachers.

But the teachers seemed to have not noticed Ye Ren at all, and all left at the same time, as if they were avoiding Ye Ren specifically.

In the following plot, the vampire Liloe appears in front of the siblings, along with a priest from the church.

During this process, the male protagonist recalled that his sister had died long ago, and the one who had been following him was just his sister's soul.

In order to save his sister, the hero had to sign a contract with the vampire Liloe. He traded his whole body blood for Liloe to repel the priests.

Although the ending is still the laughter of the male protagonist and his sister.

However, the envelope sent by Liloie, marked with the number 666, laid the groundwork for the subsequent story.

After reading this comic, Souma and Akito inevitably fell into a brief silence.

They are both new comic book writers, but their level is totally beyond their reach.

From the storyboards, pictures, and storyline, there is absolutely no trace of a newcomer.

Although the first episode of Bloodline seems rather old-fashioned from today’s perspective, it is quite interesting at this point in time in the parallel universe.

Moreover, as a short story that has been confirmed to be serialized, the plot is very complete, making people want to continue reading.

Compared to the vampires, the comics they draw are just like garbage.

"No way! This person is just a high school student?!"

At this time, Akito unexpectedly saw the introduction about the author, which clearly stated that the author of this comic, ONE, was just a high school student.

Doesn't this mean that this person is not much different in age from them?

Look at other people's level, and then look at theirs. At this moment, the two of them suddenly felt that their confidence was hit.

It's not just Akito and Souma who have these feelings. Many veterans who have been in the workplace for two or three years or even longer can't help but feel a sense of crisis after reading this comic.

It's terrifying that an unknown high school newcomer can have such terrible painting skills.

This is based on the first time someone draws comics. In a few years, even if one's originality is terrible, one can probably become a master by just finding someone to collaborate with to create a comic.

Editors of JUMP, where did you find such a monster?

But what they don't know is that Naoto can have such skills only by relying on the system cheats.

If he were to draw this comic himself, it would be pretty good if he could do it with about half the ability.

But no matter what, Qi Mu's father was already smiling from ear to ear at this moment.

Naoto is so awesome, even if he isn't the future editor, it will still be a great honor for me, right?

Think about the fact that you can become the father-in-law of a top cartoonist in the future. Wouldn’t that be more prestigious?

Now, Qi Mu's father has completely sold out his daughter and doesn't even have the slightest psychological burden.

Anyway, in his opinion, there is no man in this world who dares to dump his own daughter.

Dare to mess with Nanzi? You will be dead in a matter of minutes.

At this time, Naoto didn't know what the situation was with his comics.

At this time, he and Nan Zi had returned to school after a long absence and started their school life.

"Hey, isn't this Naoto? Why, you finally came back this time?"

However, just as Naoto opened the door, a resentful friend appeared before him, causing his face to fall.

Chapter 9: My Resentful Friend

"Hey! Isn't this our pig-headed man Sakuta? It's been a long time since we last met. Have you finally recovered from your so-called youth syndrome?"

In response to the greeting from his resentful friend, Naoto responded in the same way.

However, just when the two were about to fight in the eyes of outsiders, they just burst out laughing.

"Pfft, you've been out for a few days, I thought you were chopped into pieces by Nanzi-chan."

"No way! Nan Zi is a gentle, lovely, and considerate beautiful girl. How could she do such a cruel thing?"

"Really? Why do I remember someone was carried out of the school last time?"

The atmosphere was tense during the previous lesson, but the next moment, the two of them started talking and laughing.

Maybe, the so-called friendship between men is just that simple.

Sakuta Azusagawa, nicknamed Pig-Headed Man.

He is one of Naoto's few friends in school.

To be precise, the two met and became friends after Naoto traveled through time. In the eyes of the original Naoto, this guy was just a weirdo.

Sakuta transferred to this school last semester. It is said that before that, Sakuta had been studying in other schools.

But one time, because of his sister, he turned into a furious god of war, which caused an uproar on the Internet and he had to transfer schools.

Compared to Naoto's, Sakuta's home is on another level of misery.

It is said that not only does Sakuta's sister suffer from severe autism, but even his mother has gone crazy because of his sister.

In order to get better treatment, the mother stayed with the father, while Sakuta took care of his sister alone.

The strength of the two is also quite interesting.

One time when Naoto was on the rooftop and was about to jump down, he happened to see Sakuta hiding on the balcony eating alone.

Out of curiosity, the two of them actually started talking in this arc.

"Why did you jump off the building?"

"Because I don't want to stay in this world anymore."

"Why? Isn't life good?"

"Yeah, it's too stressful. My parents are gone, and I have a stupid sister to support. I feel like maybe going to another world would make things easier."

"Ah, that does sound interesting."

When talking to Naoto, Sakuta initially thought that Naoto was just a simple chuunibyou patient.

What was unexpected was that this person actually wanted to jump off the building.

But just when Naoto was about to jump, Kusunoko came out and saw the two people arguing with each other, and knocked them all to the ground without saying anything. (Actually, Sakuta saw that Naoto really wanted to jump, and was about to stop him.)

After that, Naoto saw Sakuta on the rooftop more than once, and Sakuta saw Naoto being beaten to the ground by Kusunoki again and again.

After a few interactions, the two became friends.

"I heard from Nan Zi that you actually submitted an article to the JUMP editorial department? How was it? Was it successful?"

After sitting down, Sakuta asked Naoto in a familiar manner.

Apparently, the news that Nan Zi had taken leave and was absent from school last time had spread within a certain small circle.

"Oh, it's okay. I think you'll be able to see my comics when JUMP is released today."

"seriously?"

At this moment, Sakuta looked at Naoto with a surprised look on his face. When he first met this idiot, why didn't he realize that he had such strength? Serialized in JUMP? Are you kidding?

"Are you going to be a big star soon? Then you have to sign autographs for me. It would be best if you sign a few. Then I can sell them later."

"Keep a low profile, it's just a publication, it may not be serialized yet."

After facing Sakuta's shock, Naoto couldn't help but feel a little proud. Is this what they call a celebrity? It seems not bad.

In fact, Sakuta himself probably couldn't have imagined that, speaking of celebrities, he would not only confess his love in front of the whole school, but he would also have a girlfriend who was a popular star and a sister-in-law who was in an idol group. That was what a real school celebrity was.

"Ding dong, ding dong."

At this time, the class bell had already started ringing, and soon Mr. Matsuzaki, the class teacher, walked in with a document.

"Students, today I have to tell you some unfortunate news - our class has been selected to participate in the National Campus Art Competition."

When Teacher Matsuzaki said this, the students in the audience were stunned at first, and then there were wails everywhere.

National Campus Art Competition? No matter which school students are from, their first reaction after hearing about these weird activities is boredom.

Come to think of it, there isn't enough time in the day, so who would want to participate in these weird competitions?
