Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku.

The two exchanged only a few words before Sato left.

Stepping outside, the sun shone brightly. But the boy's spirits were even brighter than the sunshine.

This skill is useful, extremely useful, especially for the upcoming filming of "Shadow Legion".

His character in "Shadow Legion" is bursting with a sense of justice.

He was on the good side, and in the end, he died protecting Chiba from a bullet. He was a true martyr.

In this respect, this skill is better than speaking in Shadow Legion.

Thinking about this, Sato became even more excited.

However, in addition to a sense of justice, the role also requires passion, and to achieve perfection, he still needs to constantly hone his acting skills.

Even so, this is definitely a huge reward for the boy.

At least the foundation is there, so there's no need to worry about the acting skills not keeping up.

Sato thought for a moment, then quickly wiped the smile off his face again.

He still needs to keep working hard.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Sato's cheerful mood, Ogawa, who had just seen the boy off, looked at the hot salt water in front of him and the eggs in the pot.

A sense of shame welled up inside me, yet I also felt a strange warmth.

I threw up all over him last night, but he didn't seem angry.

Of course, she believed she still had some charm, and most men probably wouldn't get angry at her, but when she was drunk, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't take advantage of her.

But that boy was different.

Perhaps it was because of the hot water in front of her that she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

I can't remember much of what happened last night.

But she could never forget the tender moments she shared in Sato's arms.

However, given that boy's temperament and abilities, he'll probably become famous very soon.

Then more and more people will like him, just like she has seen him all along.

By then, there would naturally be nothing between them.

Perhaps he will find a girlfriend and be affectionate with her.

Or if they get photographed by a magazine one day, they'll ask her to help cover for them.

Amidst the hazy smoke rising from the pot, the woman sighed softly.

Although she knew rationally that these speculations were baseless, reason ultimately couldn't control her emotions.

"Actors and agents, it's not unprecedented..."

In the room, only Xiaochuan's quiet words remained.

......

Later that day, Sato returned to the club.

Why are you so late today?

Sanada greeted him, somewhat surprised.

This person usually arrives half an hour early every day to do some warm-up exercises or something.

He, who always makes the most of his time each day, simply arrived on time today.

"Something came up and I was delayed."

Before Sanada could ask further, Sato continued.

"Could I take up a little of your time?"

"Should we fight?"

Sanada pursed his lips, his face saying, "I knew it."

"no......"

Does he really look like a martial arts fanatic?

He just wants to make money; he's not really interested in martial arts.

"I wanted you to help me assess my acting skills."

"Acting skills?"

Sanada was a little surprised to hear this.

However, he quickly waved his hand.

"Didn't I tell you? Acting skills aren't that important. It's okay if your acting skills are a little lacking."

During this time, he had watched the boy's performances with Chiba, and the result was that the boy did not have much talent except for playing dead people and certain specific areas.

However, from the very beginning of the recruitment process, they didn't have many requirements regarding acting skills.

This is a sword and spear film; as long as they can fight, that's enough.

At worst, I can keep a straight face while fighting, and it won't break character.

While acting skills can certainly increase audience recognition and boost Sato's popularity and appeal, it's not good to make Sato abandon his more talented martial arts skills to focus on honing his acting skills.

As mentioned before, the budget has been reduced.

This made their rehearsal time for action scenes even more intense.

At this point, it would be absolutely not in their interest to distract Sato, nor would it align with the future they had planned for the boy.

So whether it was for their sake or for the boy's own, they didn't want Sato to be distracted from the fight.

"I just have an idea and want to give it a try."

He has been studying character profiling whenever he has free time lately. Although the progress is not very fast, it is still evolving step by step.

Originally, it wouldn't be of much use, but if you can integrate the atmosphere of justice into your understanding of the character, like playing a dead person, it's very possible to make a breakthrough.

However, it doesn't count just because he saw it himself.

He wasn't confident he could assess his own acting skills.

Acting skills should resonate with the audience; becoming obsessed with one's own art will only lead one astray from the public's aesthetic.

Moreover, as for Sanada, there is certainly no problem with him being a suit actor or an action actor.

But Sato's goals go beyond that.

Moreover, with the current tight budget, his better acting skills are an advantage over others.

As long as the audience approves, adding more scenes later is easy.

"Well... it's just a try."

Upon hearing this, Sanada did not refuse again.

As long as you don't get distracted, it's acceptable.

As they talked, the two of them skillfully picked up their wooden knives one after the other.

"As for the plot, starting from his first appearance in the second episode, is that alright?"

Sanada's face was serious.

"Yes."

He makes his debut in the second episode as a newcomer who has just completed special training and joined the team. He is a passionate young man full of a sense of justice.

My sense of justice is not an issue; all that's left is passion.

Even if the difficulties are reduced by half, the challenges are still considerable.

After all, being too passionate can backfire and turn you into a delusional teenager, which is embarrassing to watch.

The measurement of this is something he must determine himself.

Even a cheat code can't help him in this regard.

"Get ready and let's begin. Just consider me the villain."

Sato responded with a sound of agreement. The boy closed his eyes, slowly gathering his emotions in his mind, while turning on the switch for the skill.

In that brief silence, before the boy could even make a move, Sanada's face gradually showed surprise.

The boy, whose eyes were closed, slowly began to show subtle changes in his facial expressions.

With just a slight change in expression, he resembled a seasoned A-list actor, a stark contrast to his imagined image of the boy.

It was like when the two of them were fighting, and Sato suddenly became bloodthirsty.

But it's completely different.

After all, one is terrifying, while the other is bright and righteous.

"Playing dumb to fool the enemy?"

This was the first thought that popped into Sanada's mind.

And that was immediately followed by a denial.

There are no tigers for him to eat here.

So, does this mean he suddenly had an epiphany?

That's not impossible; although the number is relatively small, he's heard of it before.

But... is his junior brother really that amazing?
