The strongest high school student in Japan

Mogami Jun glanced at Asana and found that she had been in a daze with her face red. Perhaps her brain CPU overheated and crashed.

For some reason, Jun Mogami suddenly had the illusion that "if I answer wrong, I might not get out of this alive."

Humph, it must be an illusion. What can a group of little girls do to me?

It must be an illusion...

However, it is a bit awkward now. Omi-senpai asked so directly. If I avoid answering, Asana might think "as expected, he hates me", and might be deeply shocked.

Although he had only met Izumo Asana twice, Mogami Jun felt that she was that kind of person.

"Regarding this, Omi-senpai, there is no need to worry. The aesthetic standards outside are exactly the same as yours." With this thought, Mogami Jun blurted out, "Of course everyone likes a child like Izumo-san. There is no reason not to like her, right? Anyway, I like her very much. Please rest assured, at least in her case, your aesthetic standards are not biased at all! I can guarantee it with my life and NDS!"

This is what he really thinks, because Asana is indeed a very likable child, almost no one would dislike her...

Unfortunately, liking someone is one thing, but getting married is another.

Mogami Jun's confident words caused the girls present to scream in excitement again.

At this moment, Izumo Asana finally seemed unable to bear it anymore. She covered her face and hid aside in shame.

"'I can guarantee it with my life and NDS'... unexpectedly convincing." Omi-senpai laughed and clapped her hands, "Well, you've passed the level! That's more like it!"

"Senior, stop teasing us!" After finally catching her breath, Asana mustered up the courage to protest with a red face. "I brought him here for a tour today, please don't bring shame to our school!"

"It's okay, it's okay. Look, he's not angry at all," Senior Omi replied with a smile.

Then, she blinked her eyes in embarrassment, "Come to think of it, it's a rare occasion for you to come here, it would be a bit unreasonable for us not to give you some souvenirs..."

"Senior, you just realized it now..." Asana complained weakly, "It should have been like this from the beginning, and you still want to tease us!"

"It's okay, it's not too late now!" Senior Omi answered nonchalantly.

Then, she looked at Mogami Jun again, "I'm sorry, but we're really poor here. The only gifts we can give are calligraphy and paintings. If you don't mind... we can create something for you on the spot."

"No problem, let's do this!" Jun Mogami replied quickly.

"Well, please wait for me a moment then~" Senior Omi nodded. "Today, seeing this rare guest from afar, I suddenly got an inspiration. I should thank you for this..."

Then, Senior Omi took a piece of rice paper from the girl next to her, sat quietly for a while, and then picked up the brush and started writing on the rice paper.

At this time, the playful smile on Senior Omi's face just now has completely disappeared. She has a serious attitude and is focused. It is obvious that she has entered the creative state.

A person's talent is being fully utilized, and her originally rustic dress suddenly becomes dazzling.

However, Jun Mogami originally thought that Senior Omi, who is the head of the calligraphy club, could write, but he soon discovered that she was painting on rice paper.

"In ancient times, calligraphy and painting were originally one and the same. Calligraphy is just a technique to make Chinese characters artistic. Our ancestors learned the corresponding techniques from China, and then developed them in combination with their own culture, and developed their own characteristics—" As if seeing what he was thinking, Izumo Asana explained in a low voice beside him, "So our calligraphy club also often draws ink paintings. Minister Omi is very good at it."

"I see..." Jun Mogami nodded slightly.

Everyone remained silent and watched Senior Omi paint. They watched as lines of ink appeared on the originally white rice paper. After an unknown amount of time, Senior Omi suddenly stopped painting and let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, she stood up and stretched. "It's true that when I have the urge to create, it's different. I broke the fastest painting record!"

"Congratulations, senior!" The other members, including Asana, congratulated the senior one after another. They naturally understood the joy of creation the best.

"Don't just congratulate me, this is a souvenir for Mogami-san!" Senior Omi replied with a smile, and then greeted Mogami Jun and the others, "Please come over and check it out!"

Jun Mogami immediately walked over to admire the senior's freshly-made painting.

This is a colorful ink painting, which depicts several lush green mountain peaks. The bright red morning sun rises slowly from the top of the mountain, dyeing the surrounding clouds red. Even the river water flowing by reflects the red color of the clouds.

And in the distant shadows there are palaces and towers. Although there is no one to be seen in the entire painting, it makes people feel that it is full of grandeur.

Although he is not a professional connoisseur, he can see that the painting is beautiful and fresh, and at the same time contains a sense of elegance and vitality, which makes people happy at a glance.

Sure enough, a good painting is one that can make people feel the painter's mood at the time.

"Wow, that's amazing!" he couldn't help but exclaim.

It seems that Asana was not bragging. This senior from Omi is really very skilled. No wonder she can become the head of the calligraphy club.

Without years of practice, it would be impossible to draw such beautiful works.

"Are you satisfied?" Senior Omi asked with a smile, "If you are satisfied, I'll give it to you!"

"I feel embarrassed to give such an expensive gift." Mogami Jun hesitated.

"It's okay, I just doodled it on impulse! It's not expensive, it's okay, I drew it for you, just take it." Senior Omi waved her hand generously, "You're a boy, just be more open, just accept it!"

Since the other party had mentioned this, Mogami Jun felt embarrassed to refuse, so he thanked him first and then accepted the gift.

“By the way, please pay attention to the signature—” At this time, Senior Omi said again.

"Ok?"

Mogami Jun took a closer look and found ten Chinese characters written in cursive script in the lower right corner of the painting.

"Morning clouds appear from the top, and red clouds cover the nearby river."

Wow, so the calligraphy was shown off in the end! Mogami Jun was impressed.

"Cao Cao's son Cao Pi wrote a poem with a line in it: 'Danxia blocks the sun, and the rainbow hangs down from the sky.' I'll use it here." After writing, Omi-senpai raised her head and looked at Mogami Jun with a smile, "I'm afraid few people in Japan know this, so it doesn't matter if you don't know it."

Wow, his knowledge of classical Chinese is really amazing. He is worthy of being an elite student in the young ladies' school.

No, the school wouldn’t teach so deeply. It must be a family tradition. Maybe she is the daughter of a calligrapher?

It is not easy to adapt ancient Chinese poetry and include the surnames of three people in it, while making it fit the atmosphere and artistic conception of the painting.

She used Izumo, Mogami, and Omi together, which is equivalent to the author's inscription. It happens to be a Chinese poem, and it is so appropriate to the artistic conception of the painting.

It's just so talented...so amazing.

Mogami Jun couldn't help but look at the other person again.

He likes the way other people shine.

Omi-senpai received his approval.

However, at this moment, Senior Omi laughed slyly again, "However, as a title, I think two lines of poetry are not enough. How about you add two more lines, Mogami-san?"

So this is a difficult problem for me... Jun Mogami was shocked.

It's no wonder, artists are all a bit aloof, and it's normal for her to want to test her guest.

Should I accept the challenge? Or should I just admit defeat?

Of course I accepted the challenge.

Humph, I admit that you are very good. With this skill alone, you can easily defeat 99.999% of Japanese high school students. But even so, I will not admit defeat. I must try!

It wouldn't be difficult to just write a few lines of poetry to match it, but the difficult part is to do the same as Senior Omi and include other people's surnames.

Moreover, the artistic conception and even the rhyme must match.

It is indeed a bit difficult.

"If you feel embarrassed, forget it. I can think about it again, okay?" Seeing that Mogami Jun was silent, Senior Sister Omi smiled even more deeply, "There are not many people studying this these days. It's not your fault even if you don't know how to do it..."

"No, I've thought of it, although it may not be very good." Mogami Jun suddenly raised his head, looked at the senior and answered.

"Oh? It's okay, tell me about it." Senior Omi looked at Jun Mogami, and the two of them looked at each other.

"Where the green trees stand tall, the plum palace awaits the setting sun." He pronounced these ten Chinese characters in a strange tone using the Japanese pronunciation method.

"I have read a line from a poem written by Wang Anshi, a poet from the Song Dynasty of China, 'The green trees in Dinglin are towering, and a spring runs through the southeast.' So I adapted it, and the setting sun - it just so happens that Dazai Osamu also wrote a novel called "The Setting Sun". The first part uses Chinese poetry, so I'll use Japanese allusions to resolve it in the end."

Then, he continued to explain, "It just so happened that when I came here just now, I was taken care of by my classmates Aoki Yuu and Umemiya Natsuki, so I will use their last names here as well. I hope they don't mind."

"Morning clouds appear from the highest point, and red clouds cover the riverside... Where the green trees are towering, the plum palace awaits the setting sun..." Senior Omi frowned slightly, as if she was chewing the food carefully.

Her eyes were fixed on the painting she had just finished.

Mountains, forests, morning sun, clouds, and the vague palace...

She seemed to see a person, leisurely walking between the mountains, rivers and palaces, looking at the rising sun, and then leisurely standing among the trees, waiting for the arrival of the setting sun...

Soon, her frown relaxed, and she smiled at Mogami Jun, "Isn't this great? It's so appropriate for the occasion, and it's better than I thought it would be! It's great! But, that person is too free, isn't he just looking at the scenery from morning till night?"

"This kind of life is indeed worthy of envy..." Mogami Jun nodded.

"If you really have to live that kind of life, you won't be able to bear it in a few days~" Senior Sister Omi shook her head, "Okay, then let's do this!"

Suddenly, she looked at Chaonai again, "Chaonai, you complete these ten words!"

"Eh? Me?" Asana was a little surprised, "I can't compare to my senior!"

"Is this a question of whether it's comparable or not?" Senior Omi replied with a smile, "You brought him here, he read it, so you should write it."

"Okay..." Asana hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Then, she picked up the brush and carefully wrote the ten Chinese characters on the rice paper.

Mogami Jun took a look and found that although Asana also used running script, it still seemed to be strictly following the rules, which was quite different from the elegant style of Senior Omi.

Of course, the level is already very good, and it is also well written.

As Asana finished writing the last word, the souvenir was finally completed.

"Ah, it feels so good. It turns out that creating something is the most fulfilling thing!" Senior Omi stretched and returned to her lazy and relaxed state. "Asana, I really don't want to accept this, but I have no choice but to admit defeat. Sorry."

"Hey, what are you talking about, senior?" Asana was a little confused.

"Originally, I wanted to keep you by my side, but now that you've been breached, there's nothing I can do." Senior Omi tried to look sad, but couldn't hide her snickering, "Alas, I really can't bear to let you leave and go to someone else..."

Then she deliberately wiped her eyes with her sleeves, pretending to wipe away tears.

Izumo Asana's face suddenly turned red again.

"Senior, stop joking like that!" She protested loudly to Senior Omi, "If you do that again, I will really hate you!"

152, interrogation?

"If you continue like this, I will really hate you!" Minister Omi's sudden words made Asana feel extremely ashamed and angry, and she protested loudly.

"Oh? Will Asana hate me?" Senior Omi asked back with a smile, "Asana actually hates someone else? That's good. Since I can't be Asana's favorite person, let me be the first person Asana hates... I feel happy just thinking about it!"

"Senior!" Asana seemed to be about to cry, and then glanced at Mogami Jun nervously, "Please stop making fun of us."

Jun Mogami also felt something was wrong.

No matter how I listen to what Omi-senpai said, it sounds like "You have passed the test, so I leave my daughter to you."

Could it be that she wanted to add the inscription herself just now just to test her own talent?

Wow... Has this turned into some kind of matchmaking event? I was just here to visit the calligraphy club, why did it turn out like this?

At this time he also realized that the girls in the calligraphy club must have known that he and Asana had a blind date, so they reacted so strongly just now. The club leader even asked him directly whether he liked Asana.

Of course, he had no idea whether Asana told them this intentionally or just let it slip accidentally.

This question is not important. In any case, I should retreat as soon as possible.

Otherwise, maybe these gossipy girls will ask the ultimate question later - "When are you going to get married?"

That question is impossible to answer!

Definitely don't want to run into this problem.

"Izumo, take me to visit some other places..." Thinking of this, he spoke in a low voice to help Asana out, "I have been disturbing everyone for a long time."

"Yes! Yes!" Asana nodded quickly, then bowed slightly to Minister Omi, "Minister, we'll be leaving first."

"Are you leaving now? I want to see more of you two!" Senior Sister Omi seemed to be reluctant to leave. "I've been staying in this dull place for a long time. I haven't encountered such interesting things in a long time. Let's have some fun!"

"We...we are not props for your entertainment!" Asana protested with a stern face.

"Then let's at least take a group photo, okay?" Senior Omi still didn't give up and suggested again, "It seems that no male has ever joined our calligraphy club since its establishment. Such a glorious day actually came during my tenure. We have to take a good photo to commemorate it! This is the minimum requirement. If you still don't agree, I won't let you go!"

"Yes, yes, we should at least take a photo together!" The other girls also echoed.

Jun Mogami and Asana looked at each other, and they could see the embarrassment in each other.

However, this request was not excessive. After all, he received such exquisite and valuable gifts when he came here. Compared with that, taking a photo was no big deal.

"Of course no problem, it's my honor." Jun Mogami nodded slightly.

Soon, the girls found a camera from somewhere, and then gathered under a wall covered with calligraphy, ready to take a group photo.

According to convention, Minister Omi should have stood in the middle, but she made another request at this time.

"Why don't you two stand in the middle?"

"Hey, why?" Asana asked.
