I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

But now, just as he is about to succeed.

The inhibitory force was activated once again.

At least that's how Araya Sōren sees it; in Araya Sōren's eyes, Kurokawa Kazuya is that suppressive force.

The person who stopped him from acting.

"We must come up with a foolproof plan."

Back in his residence, Araya Sōren was deep in thought.

He had tested Kurokawa Kazuya several times, though he had always been the one lurking in the shadows and guiding others to make their moves... He wasn't going to take action himself until he had a clear understanding of Kurokawa Kazuya's true strength.

It wasn't that he was afraid of death; it was just a very simple matter—if he died, he would no longer be able to continue pursuing his goals.

Therefore, he will not die until his wish is fulfilled.

However, even so, it's not so easy to encounter abnormal people. In the previous few times, apart from one fake Servant, the others were just some thugs.

Furthermore, Kurokawa and Mi are not the only people who need to be tested.

There are also two rituals—

This girl is not without fighting ability.

No, quite the opposite. How could someone who connects to the source not have combat power?

It's just a matter of whether it's awakened or not, or whether it can be used, but... the weapon is there, and even if it can't be used, its sharpness cannot be denied.

Several pieces are still missing if we want to complete all these trials.

However, he was not in a hurry.

He has lived for two hundred years...

Meanwhile, Barthezello of the Magic Association has successfully extended the Great Source; he has at least another decade or so. He just needs to gradually accumulate power and seek opportunities during this process.

There will come a day like that.

......

"It's going to be animated... I understand." Inoue Takehiko, who learned of this news through the editor, was neither excited nor delighted, nor was he troubled.

All of this is perfectly reasonable.

Slam Dunk

This comic now holds a significant place in JUMC, and could even be considered indispensable.

No matter how popular other comics are, their themes are different from Slam Dunk.

The themes are different.

The people it attracts are naturally different.

The current circulation of JUMC has exceeded 7 million copies. In a country with a population of about 100 million, this means that one in every fourteen people has JUMC. If there are issues such as skipping or exchanging, the circulation may even increase.

If one person out of ten thousand does something, it's considered unconventional; if one person out of a thousand does it, it can be considered popular; and if one person out of a hundred does it, it's undoubtedly mainstream. But what if... one out of ten does it?

Then the most deserving one is the core.

Comics have long been at the very core of this country.

After all... JUMC isn't the only comic book magazine; it's no exaggeration to say that one in ten people reads comics.

In such magazines, Slam Dunk also bears a significant responsibility.

His editor had told him several times, "Extend it, draw more, like Dragon Ball. Of course, it would be even better if it could be like Kochikame."

Such words...

But ah.

Inoue Takehiko didn't think that way at all; he wanted to draw a perfect ending! He wanted to create an ending whenever he wanted, and at the most appropriate time, to deliver the most perfect ending.

That's exactly what he wanted!

but...

Hopefully, the animation production company won't be too bad.

Inoue Takehiko sighed inwardly. After all, he was just a manga artist and couldn't change anything.

Thinking about this, he felt a little envious of someone he had met at the annual meeting last year—Kurokawa Kazuya.

Several years ago, he was just a cartoonist.

However, it is now qualified to cooperate with JUMC on an equal footing.

Takehiko Inoue also watched the animations produced by the company he founded. They were truly perfect!

This is the form that a cartoonist most wants to see their work presented.

However, when he thought about the money he had overheard about the amount of money he had spent on the animations he produced, he could only smile bitterly... This is not something that just anyone can do.

If so, his only worry is...

Whether his Slam Dunk could be produced by JOJO Studio is something his editor has discussed with him once regarding the cooperation terms between JUMC and JOJO.

Every quarter, JOJO Studio may choose one of JUMC's manga to adapt into an anime.

And naturally, his manga Slam Dunk was also submitted this season.

"So," Inoue Takehiko said, looking at his editor, "which animation company is going to produce my manga? It's all so mysterious..."

"Congratulations, Mr. Inoue," the editor said with a smile as Inoue Takehiko rushed over.

Will it be animated?

"Ah, that's not all. The company that took on the Slam Dunk anime adaptation this time is JOJO Studio."

"Ugh?"

......

"What is this?" Shoji Ami asked in surprise, looking at the book in front of her.

"A setting book." Iwamoto Yu gave a wry smile. "Sometimes I really don't understand Kurokawa-sensei's thinking. He clearly said he didn't want to draw Fate anymore, but he ended up preparing such a thick setting book..."

"Uh...so that means I can draw manga related to Fate, but..."

"That's how it is. You can add settings, but you can't remove settings... and you have to make them as reasonable as possible."

Shoji Ami's lips twitched slightly.

She felt a bit of a stomachache.

Chapter 301 Another Lottery

Visit Buzi City.

early morning--

Kurokawa Kazuya opened his eyes, looked at the wall next to him, straightened up, lay flat on the bed, and rubbed his head: "FSN is over... I didn't even know it."

Moreover, it was FSN that ended...

This comic has been serialized for several years now.

He doesn't want to draw anymore. Let's see what happens. Maybe we can get someone else to draw the Fate... no, the Type-Moon series, and maybe increase the number of summonable Noble Phantasms for him.

If possible, let someone else do it.

If that doesn't work...

If that doesn't work, I'll have to keep working on Type-Moon.

After all, summoning and possessing a Heroic Spirit in the Type-Moon world would save a lot of Command Seals.

I poured myself a cup of hot water and took two sips.

This wasn't his first time participating in a lottery, and the excitement he felt gradually subsided with each passing year.

"I wonder what I'll get this time."

As always, ability comes first.

Ten slots appeared on the spinning wheel in front of me.

"Transparency: B+", "Magic Resistance: A", "Divinity: A", "Item Creation: A", "Petrifying Mystic Eyes: A+", "Avoidance of Loss: B", "Aura Concealment: A+", "Magic: C-, Projection [Sword]: A+", "Bajiquan", "Jewel Magic"

"Hmm... these are all good."

Looking at the ten abilities on the panel, Kurokawa and Miya felt a little expectant.

The coolest one of these is probably the "projection," right? Remember those melodramatic shouts of "traecon" during your teenage years...?

The most tragic being must be the divine, right?

Although divinity seems to add something...maybe?

But there are a lot of people who specialize in attacking divinity...

"Alright, let's begin—"

Instead of speculating, let's wait until the item is actually pulled out before making any decisions.

The turntable began to spin.

As Kurokawa Kazuya called for a halt, a sudden stop occurred—the pointer pointed to one of the abilities.

Magic Resistance: A

A magic resistance that can nullify magic circles and instant contract magic. No matter how grand the magic is, magic below A level will be nullified.

"Invincible in one step—"

Kurokawa Kazuya raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled with satisfaction.

What is the strongest being in this world under normal circumstances?

The answer is simple: the strongest person and the strongest force are both magicians.

The strongest are the magicians, and the strongest force is undoubtedly the Magic Association.
