Chapter 26: Draw Whatever You Want (Please Read! This is Very Important!)

Everyone looked at Hase Hatsuna as she walked into the art classroom, their faces filled with confusion.

Substitute teaching is not a rare thing.

But can health and physical education teachers also teach subjects like art?
"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite good at art."

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Hase Hatsuna picked up the chalk and drew a very neat circle on the blackboard with her backhand, as if to prove that she was indeed quite capable.

But I always feel that this performance project is more like a math teacher teaching geometry.

Of course, the classroom immediately echoed with the Japanese people’s iconic cheers of “Siguoyi”.

Obviously, everyone was happy to have the beautiful teacher Hase Hatsuna substitute for the class.

They say that distance creates beauty. Those who have not yet seen how miserable Hase Hatsuna is still have a strong filter for her.

"Do you all like anime? I see you're all sketching. Isn't that a bit boring?"

Standing on the podium, Hase Hatsuna listened to everyone's praise and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"How about we work in groups to draw comics?"

Hase Hatsuna said this while looking meaningfully at the corner.

Sakurai Itsuki, who was originally listless, was suddenly startled when he thought of Hase Hatsuna's unusual attention to him recently.

Could it be that I have been exposed?

While Sakurai Itsuki suddenly became nervous, Hanase Shion beside her couldn't help but get excited.

Drawing comics? Was Hase-sensei deliberately helping her?

She looked up at Hase Hatsuna, who was blinking in her direction.

really!

If I draw an interesting and powerful manga, and then my classmates praise me by saying, "You look like a professional manga artist!" and "Maybe Hanase-san can be a manga artist," I can say that I am actually interested in becoming a manga artist.
It wouldn't be so weird or awkward, would it?
When the topic of drawing comics was brought up, the students in the class became very enthusiastic and immediately started discussing with each other.

Even though many of them had never thought about drawing comics, they were naturally excited to see this occasionally in the boring class where they always drew apples, bottles and jars.

Looking at the lively atmosphere in the class, Hane Shion felt that her hobbies were recognized, and she felt even happier.

She always strictly controlled her facial expressions when she was out, but at this moment, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

But suddenly, she was stunned when she saw the people discussing with each other.

Wait, groups?
"First, let me explain how to draw a comic! After that, everyone will form pairs to discuss the plot and then divide up the work. When you're done, hand it in during the next class and we'll all vote! Those with the highest scores will receive a prize!"

As Hase Hatsuna spoke, the corners of Hane Shion's mouth, which had been raised, fell back.

In fact, think about it, group activities are a normal thing in any class.

This is just a class assignment for fun and not a commercial work. There are not so many requirements. The main purpose is to popularize scientific knowledge and arouse students' interest.

For those of us who are still students, it is much more interesting to discuss how to draw comics in class than to draw alone.

It wasn't that Hanase Shion minded collaborating with others, but she sat in the art classroom according to her usual seat in class.

So what it means is, the people she groups.

Hane Shion turned her head extremely reluctantly and looked at Sakurai Itsuki, whose expression also looked a little strange.

While everyone was excitedly discussing what little stories they would draw, there was an eerie silence between these two people.

Both of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and then continued to remain silent.

"Okay, okay! Let's stop chatting for now. I'm going to give you some basic knowledge about comics. Does anyone know what a name is?"

Hase Hatsuna patted the table to quiet the classroom. After all, it was a class and she had to attend the class first.

"I know! It's the storyboard!"

Sato Wakaba immediately raised her hand and answered the question enthusiastically.
I have to say that when Hase Hatsuna was teaching at the podium, she looked like a teacher.

She first briefly talked about some scientific knowledge related to comics, and then set out a process for everyone's homework.

After each group discussed, they drew character design drafts and storyboards, and planned out the story of an eight-frame comic.

That is, draw four comic frames on each page.

It is obvious that Hase Hatsuna's decision to draw comics in class was not a whim, but the result of careful consideration.

If we follow the traditional method of cartoonists and assistants, with one person responsible for drawing and the other for other details, there will likely be arguments over who will be the "cartoonist" and who will be the "assistant."

And even if there is no quarrel, some students who want to draw but can only be "assistants" will feel that they have no sense of participation.

Although students certainly can't keep their drawings consistent, it's more interesting to draw different drawings, which makes everyone complain to each other, "What did you draw?" "Your drawing is obviously not as similar as mine!"

However, this was very awkward for the two people whose relationship was not very harmonious.

Sakurai Itsuki turned his head and found that Hanase Shion was drawing something on paper with a pencil while Hase Hatsuna was still teaching.

Sakurai Itsuki took a quick look and saw that it was actually a storyboard, with two character sketches next to it. At first glance, it looked quite realistic.

However, since she is the eldest daughter, it is not surprising that she has a good foundation in painting according to the traditional training methods of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Perhaps he noticed Sakurai Itsuki's gaze.

Hanase Shion turned around and said coldly to Sakurai Itsuki, "Just go back to sleep. I can finish this painting by myself."

Sakurai Itsuki raised an eyebrow slightly.

"If you really want to feel involved, you can just draw some lines when the time comes. The homework will still be counted as ours."

Hanase Shion continued.

Upon hearing this, Sakurai Itsuki said, "You are quite considerate."

She considered herself an assistant, no, not even an assistant.

Her attitude is that she gives herself alms so that she can feel a sense of participation.

"I just don't want someone like you to hold me back." said Hanase Shion.

Deep down, she wanted to use this comic to amaze her classmates, and she didn't want others to hold her back.

What's more, that person was the one who severely slandered the cartoonist Sakurai Itsuki yesterday.

"As you should be, you're not sociable."

Sakurai Itsuki retaliates against Hanase Shion's contempt.

"I don't want to be with you either. Don't bother me. I don't want to talk to you now. I'll let you know when I need you to hook the line."

Hane Shion turned around and glared at Sakurai Itsuki fiercely. After leaving this statement, she turned around and continued speaking.

Sakurai Itsuki crossed his legs and looked at everyone in the class leisurely.

If you don't let me paint, I really don't want to paint. I paint to make money.

In the distance, Sato Wakaba was excitedly planning his own comic masterpiece with his deskmate.

Looking at her beaming face, she probably thinks she is already half an expert, so she can't wait to show off her skills in front of her classmates.

Maybe she noticed Sakurai Itsuki's gaze, but she suddenly turned around and gave Sakurai Itsuki a thumbs up, and then a message came from her phone.

Sakurai Itsuki turned on his phone.

Sato Wakaba: [Why are you looking at me?! Keep drawing! I'm really looking forward to your comics!]

Sakurai Itsuki: [Are you really not afraid of my exposure? ]

Sato Wakaba: [I'm just good at drawing, so no one should notice. There are a lot of good artists in school!]

Sato Wakaba: [If it really doesn't work, can't a manga artist hide his or her own style? Aren't there many manga artists who can easily imitate others' styles?]

Sakurai Itsuki: [Forget it.]

Sakurai Itsuki wanted to say that he always felt that Hase Hatsuna was weird and was inexplicably paying attention to him, and he was a little worried that he had been exposed.

But after thinking about it, I decided to go find her myself.

These strange things happened in succession, forcing Sakurai Itsuki to go talk to that guy.

Sato Wakaba: [Ah, you're in a group with Hanase-san, right? I just noticed. Otherwise, why don't you take this opportunity to make peace with her? Even if you don't like her, being just ordinary classmates is still fine, right?]

Sakurai Itsuki looked at his phone and was about to reply.

"Sakurai-san, don't play with your phone during class! Let's draw together! Only your paper is blank! Don't let Hanase-san work hard alone, okay?"

Hase Hatsuna's voice came.

Suddenly, everyone's gaze turned to the corner of the classroom.

Sakurai Itsuki twitched his lips and put his phone back into his bag awkwardly.

"Just draw something random to get by. You just have to hand it in to me when the time comes. It doesn't matter how bad your drawing is."

Hane Shion paused and looked at everyone's gazes. She didn't want to appear too eccentric, so she spoke to Sakurai Itsuki.

"Well, just draw something casually then."

Sakurai Itsuki sighed, feeling that it was a bit too embarrassing for everyone to be staring at him like that without moving.

Moreover, he was also annoyed by Hanase Shion's contemptuous attitude.

So Sakurai Itsuki picked up the paintbrush.

But I charge for my paintings, so I'll ask you to give me some negative points.
