My Cartoonist Girlfriend

Huh? Cartoonist?

Asakura Feng was stunned for a moment, then read the message sent by Eriri again.

You read that right, this girl really wants to be a cartoonist, she's very determined.

Interesting.

Asakura Feng thought so and looked up at a folder on his screen.

Chapter 55: Eriri looks very confident (Please collect it!!!)

After the Golden Week, the next things to come are midterm exams, school anniversary and sports meet.

The midterm exams are approaching, so the art department has only the director and Asakura Kaede to prepare the background board for the school anniversary these two days.

"Asakura, give me some red paint."

"it is good."

After handing a small bucket of red paint to the minister, Asakura Feng looked at him and asked, "Minister, the midterm exams are coming soon. Is it okay for you not to study? Uchimaki and the others are all going to the library."

"Hahaha, it's okay, my grades are still okay."

The minister dipped his brush in some paint and began to paint on the large canvas in front of him.

After hearing what the director said, Asakura Feng didn't worry too much even though she didn't know the other party's specific results. She continued to focus on the part that she needed to draw.

More than half an hour later, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. Asakura Kaede and the minister were busy here, and Eriri and the other two also came over.

"It's almost time, let's stop here for today!"

Hearing Eriri's voice, Asakura Feng turned around and looked at her and asked, "Have you finished reviewing today?"

Greeting Asakura Kaede to come down from the ladder, Eriri handed over the drink in her hand and said, "You have almost finished reviewing the points that need to be reviewed. You just need to consolidate them in the remaining few days. The knowledge points you organized are very complete, so you don't have to feel as much pressure as at the beginning."

"That's good."

Asakura Feng took the juice with a smile, opened it and took a sip, then looked at the director who was also coming down the ladder and said, "Director, let's go back today. The remaining things can be completed in two days after the midterm exam is over."

Drinking the drink handed to him by Uchimaki Subaru, the director nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I've been busy these past two days and I'm a little tired. I need to have a good rest in the next few days."

When Usami heard what the minister said, she said with a look of astonishment: "I knew that you would never tell me to review well later."

"Hahaha, this is the senior's leisure time, you know?"

Although the minister said so, a few days later...

It is similar to the system of some high schools. Except for small tests, the results of major exams such as midterm exams will be posted on a large public board for everyone to see.

Asakura Feng first looked at his own grades, which were not bad, ranking fifth in the grade. It was not because he made many mistakes, but there seemed to be many top students in this class, and the score gaps between the top few were basically within ten points.

Kitamura Yusaku, who plans to join the student council, ranked second in his grade this time, and Takasu Ryuji also scored above average.

After looking further, I found that Eriri's grades were pretty good, reaching her expected score of over 80 in each subject, and 90 in math.

After looking at the first-year high school students, Asakura Kaede also looked to the right, at the second-year high school performance list.

As expected, Kasumigaoka Utaha's name was ranked first, and second was the student council president Kano Sumire.

"emmm..."

With a puzzled expression, Asakura Feng looked from top to bottom, and finally, he found the director's name in the middle and lower half of the grade ranking.

The difference wasn't outrageous, but each subject was hovering above the average score line, and it seemed that if it was just a little bit off, I would have to take a make-up exam.

After looking around, Asakura Kaede found the club leader among the crowd of second-year students.

After talking to Takasu Ryuji and Kitamura Yusaku, Asakura Kaede also walked over and patted the minister on the shoulder.

"minister."

After seeing that it was Asakura Kaede, the minister smiled and said, "Oh, it's Asakura. I saw your results. You did very well."

"..."

Asakura Feng pointed at the score board with a helpless look on his face and said, "Bullmaster, is this what you call the senior's margin of freedom? He is clearly testing the waters on the edge of the make-up exam."

“Uh…Ahahaha~~~” After being told this by his junior, the headmaster scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “This time it was a mistake, a mistake. This is not my true level. I’ll show you next time.”

Alas, it is unreliable in every sense of the word, so just take this as a joke.

"But luckily you don't need to take a make-up exam, Buchou, otherwise Mr. Xiaoshan would definitely give you trouble."

After hearing what Asakura Kaede said, the head coach suddenly thought of it and patted his chest in relief: "That's true. What if Mr. Xiaoshan says that I neglected my studies because of the art club? Then I won't be able to sleep well in the art club from now on?"

"..."

This guy is hopeless.

All in all, although there were some twists and turns, this midterm exam was completed smoothly, and everyone's grades were stable. No one needed to retake the exam, so we can all face the next big event with peace of mind.

After the afternoon class, everyone in the art department gathered together and came to the place where they were required to draw the background board. The five of them got busy together.

While applying the paint with a brush, Eriri smiled and said to Asakura Kaede beside her: "When I was learning oil painting, I could only use small brushes. Now I feel so good using a brush like this! It's just a little tiring."

"Then you can take it slow. Don't be too anxious. It can definitely be completed in two days."

After filling in the top part that Eriri couldn't reach, Asakura Feng whispered, "I never asked you how your comic is going? When will you submit it?"

Hearing Asakura Kaede's question, Eriri carefully glanced at the other people who were busy, then approached Asakura Kaede and said, "It will take a few more days, but the storyboards for the first episode have been drawn halfway."

"Won't you let me take a look first? At least I have some skills in making up stories."

"No!" Eriri said with a look of keeping it a secret, "I will wait until it passes the review and is confirmed to be serialized before I tell you, otherwise it will be so embarrassing. And you also said that you are just writing the story. For comics, storyboards and style are also very important. I can do it myself. As for the story, as long as it is not a big problem, it can be modified after discussing with the editor."

"Is that so? That can't be helped. You better try your best."

"I know without you telling me that I will definitely become a comic book writer!"

Ying Lili said slowly with a confident look on her face.

However, Asakura Kaede doesn't think Eriri can succeed so quickly. After all, when she was writing Soharu, she had to start over several times before she could grasp the style. Eriri had only been drawing fan fiction before, and she didn't know if her thinking mode could be changed well now.

If I don't pass, I hope I won't be disappointed.

Chapter 56 Art Contest (Please collect!!!)

With two days left before the school anniversary, with the joint efforts of everyone in the Art Department, they finally completed all the painting tasks assigned to them by the school.

After it was completed, the art department's advisor, Mr. Oyama, the student council president, Sumire Kano, the principal, and the grade director all came over to inspect it.

Teacher Xiaoshan looked at the large propaganda oil painting in front of him and smiled with satisfaction: "Although I have come to see it several times before, the finished product is even better. Thank you for your hard work this time. Principal, what do you think?"

The principal, who was over 50 years old and wearing a pair of glasses, nodded repeatedly: "Hahaha, very good, this school anniversary has such a decoration, it is definitely a big surprise."

Even the student council president, Sumire Kano, showed a surprised expression after seeing the paintings completed by the art club members.

She knew the director of the art department, a very lazy person. After the start of this semester, he was the only one left in the art department. If it weren't for the four new members who joined in succession, the art department might have ceased to exist at the club meeting at the beginning of the semester.

Now, considering the achievements of the Art Department, Kano Sumire thought that perhaps they could be allowed to participate in the city's painting competitions in the future. If they perform well, the Art Department could be given some additional activity funds as a reward.

Although Toyonosaki Academy is somewhat famous in Tokyo, it has always been suppressed by the old Shuchiin. Over the years, it has rarely been able to defeat the opponent in some art and academic competitions. At most, it can win some sports competitions.

If this new art department that suddenly emerged can achieve some results, it will definitely be of great benefit to the school.

The tasks before the school anniversary were completed, and everyone said goodbye to the teachers and left the auditorium. The huge posters placed here would be decorated by the students of the student union later, so they didn't have to worry about it.

"Everyone from the Student Council, please wait a moment."

Just as I was about to enter the teaching building, Kano Sumire's voice came from behind.

Everyone stopped and looked at the student council president who had a very high reputation in the school, revealing puzzled expressions.

The minister took the lead and said with a smile: "President, is it because we performed well this time that we are going to increase the activity funds?"

Usami heard this and tried to stop him, but Kano Sumire smiled and said, "It's not impossible to increase the activity funds."

"...well?"

Everyone was surprised, especially Eriri. She had heard from several classmates that the Student Union of Toyonosaki was very strict in reviewing the funds for club activities.

Looking at the smiling student council president, Asakura Feng thought for a moment and asked, "President, do you have any requests?"

"True, but it's not a bad thing for you."

Kano Sumire nodded and said, "In a month, which is in mid-June, there will be an art competition in the city. I hope that members of your art department can participate and strive for a good ranking. This will be very beneficial to your personal academic resume and the reputation of the school. I had not considered it at first, but after seeing your works today, I think it is totally worth participating."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other. The minister looked calm, and Asakura Kaede and Uchimaki Subaru were not very interested either. Only Eriri and Usami seemed eager to try.

Usami looked at Kano Sumire curiously and asked, "President, do you have detailed information about that competition? I want to take a look first!"

"can."

Kano Sumire smiled and agreed: "I will bring you the relevant information about the competition during the club activity tomorrow afternoon."

"Thank you, President!"

After Kano Sumire left, Usami Mizuki immediately became excited: "Everyone, it's an art competition, and we're representing the school! Let's go and participate together!"

The minister was the first to turn around and walk inside: "No, no, I can't muster the energy."

Asakura Kaede and Uchimaki Subaru also nodded and followed the minister's steps.

"Ugh?"

Usami didn't expect that none of the three were interested, so she could only look at Eriri.

As for Eriri, although she was quite interested at first, after thinking about it carefully, she found that she simply did not have enough time to prepare the paintings for the art competition.

Not to mention the subsequent series of collaborations with Kasumigaoka Utaha, just the fan fiction for the summer fan convention and the comics that have just started and are preparing to be submitted to Jump are enough to make Eriri overwhelmed.

There was no other way, and finally Eriri could only look at Usami apologetically: "Sorry, Mizuki, I may not have that much time to participate, but I will cheer for you."

"Oh! Why is this happening?"

............

Asakura Kaede would definitely not participate in the art competition. Although he could paint, oil painting was really a beginner's skill. He was a little self-conscious about participating in such a city-level competition.

But somehow, in the art club chat group the next day, Subaru Uchimaki suddenly said that he decided to participate in the art competition.

Asakura Feng was extremely confused. What on earth was the reason that prompted this guy to participate in the competition? Wasn't he going to draw his two-dimensional wife instead?

I couldn't figure it out, and soon, Eriri in the group asked about it, and Subaru Uchimaki gave his own explanation directly.

Uchimaki Subaru: [Because what Usami said is very right. If I participate in the competition, I can also show my cute 2D wife drawings to more people. Oil paintings can also create many different feelings! ]

Ah... this guy is hopeless. Do I really have to sign the name of Toyosaki Academy on a painting of a beautiful girl?

And Usami really wanted to get others to participate in the competition. She even managed to motivate Subaru Uchimaki. Why didn't I see that she had this ability?

After finishing his lunch box, Asakura Kaede looked at the chat group messages on his phone and showed a helpless expression.

Kitamura Yusaku, who was sitting opposite, asked curiously, "Is there anything interesting happening again?"

"Ah, it's about the city's art competition next month. Uchimaki and Usami from our club are planning to participate."

"The two of them?" Takasu Ryuji also asked with a smile, "Aren't you and Sawamura-san going to participate?"

"My oil painting is not that good, and Eriri doesn't have that much free time, so she didn't choose to participate." Asakura Feng shrugged and said, "But seeing how serious they both are, they should go all out in this month. After all, if they win, it will be displayed in the art museum."

"Ah! That's not great!"

At this time, several boys who had gone to the cafeteria to eat came back to the classroom and came to them and said, "Something new and interesting has happened. Do you want to listen?"

Chapter 57: After Oosaka Taiga, another person became famous (Please collect!!!)

"Interesting things?"

The three of them looked at the classmate who was running back with excitement on his face.

After pulling a few chairs over and sitting down, the leading boy said with a smile: "Hey, we heard this from others. It just happened in the teacher's office."

Kitamura Yusaku thought for a moment and asked, "In the classroom office, could it be that another student is causing trouble?"

"That's right, that's right."

The boy immediately started talking: "The person who caused the trouble is from the class next door, D class, his name is Aki Tomoya."
