ah?
I went to the enemy's suspected lair and got a lot of loot.
Feng Zaoche was in a very happy mood.
"Isn't it better to have the enemy's enemy exposed in the open, rather than having hidden conditions that I can exploit?" This was his only explanation when 920 asked.
Moreover, judging from the attitude of the top management towards Gojo Satoru, there is another subtle point... they don't have the ability to control a strong man forcefully.
It's kind of funny. Looking at his angry expression, he might be planning to stab Gojo Satoru's figurine in secret to vent his anger.
Fuu Hayateru drew a Q version of Gojo Satoru, with his hands on his hips and a cocky smile. He also drew a stick figure representing the upper echelons, who suddenly fell to the ground and was beaten up by a group of alien monsters.
This kind of thing was easy for him to do. After all, he had often needed to draw one or two four-frame comics as a small Easter egg theater to give back to readers. After drawing three drafts in a row, Feng Zaoche stopped writing.
"My occupational disease has come back. My hands are itchy." He sighed softly.
"Host, I know a piece of data. In your world, you are ranked first in the vote for the most hardworking cartoonist." 920 finally couldn't help but said, "I thought you were so popular that you had to keep serializing in order to make money..."
"Isn't it because you are doing what you want to do that your enthusiasm is so high?" Feng Zaoche asked back, "Speaking of which, I have thought about it a lot."
"Ah?" 920 hadn't caught up with his train of thought yet. "What's more?"
"I want to go back to my old job ahead of time." Feng Zaoche said with a smile.
…
First of all, since Gojo Satoru will not enter the school until a year later, what he needs to do in the Jujutsu High School is to gain a firm foothold as much as possible, learn how to be a qualified sorcerer, and develop the abilities given to him by the system as quickly as possible.
Schools... Places like this often appear in various comics.
Boys' comics are a place for passionate companions to gather and seek out people with similar aspirations to fight together. Romance comics are the best place for the male and female protagonists to be entangled and flirtatious. Even in an abnormal worldview, romance comics often play a vital role.
For the world of spells, spellcasters are undoubtedly a scarce talent resource. The spell high school is a place to cultivate talents... Feng had a premonition that this would also be a "battlefield for strategists."
Restricting abilities does not do any good to the top leaders themselves; the only things that really need to be restrained are thoughts and human hearts.
Moreover, from what the senior executive said to him, they had long wanted to plant people inside the technical college. However, he thought that he, a fool, could never beat Gojo Satoru and would be used by him 200% of the time, so he gave up.
The sentence itself contains more sarcasm and ridicule.
His work in the first year will not be too heavy. He will not be required to pay attention to everything. He just needs to build good relationships with everyone as much as possible.
Gojo Satoru is indeed a very easy target. With the news that he will be enrolled in the next class in front of him, no one will care too much about the status of other minions.
"…So what is the connection between this and your return to your old job?" 920 was still confused.
"I still have some confidence in my professional ability. If I can make a name for myself, people will still call me teacher, and it will be much easier for me to draw anything I want." Feng Zaoche spoke of his plan slowly.
"There are so many things they can do. For example, Gojo Satoru, let alone his future, his current fighting ability cannot be underestimated, right? I have thought about this many times before. If such a person exists, why did you go to such great lengths to bring me here? Wouldn't it be better to just let me die?"
"Later, I realized that there are things that only I can do. It is necessary to compete with them in terms of spellcasting. This is the foundation of our existence. If I just keep trying to determine who is better, I will be the one who suffers."
"In addition, I feel that your current state is not complete enough, but as the number of times I successfully use my abilities increases, what you can say and your thoughts when you speak become clearer. If you succeed more times, can you unlock some additional functions?"
The biggest role of 920 now is probably to keep him company, and at most help him hack into some electronic equipment. But Feng Zaoche always believes that since 920 can bring him here from another world, its abilities should be more than that.
"Host, I didn't expect you to consider so much... I actually always feel like I seem to have lost some memory, but some things are missing if they are missing, and they don't exist if they don't exist. I have no idea at all." 920 was so moved that the mechanical voice began to cry.
"Okay, okay, why don't you run an errand for me? Once I finish drawing the previous content, you can help me create an email address and a resume so that I can submit them." Feng Zaoche instructed and listed several names in succession.
He had already read about the famous comic magazines here while shopping, and he knew that the rules were not much different from those in his own world.
Through the system, at least one can provide a first layer of protection for one's identity, and the less trouble one can have, the better.
Ten months later.
Outside a shop that specializes in selling comic books and various derivative peripherals, a large poster was hung - it was the male protagonist of the work "Beyond the Other World and This World" by the cartoonist "Kazama".
"This was a short story I drew casually at the time, but it unexpectedly attracted a lot of attention." Feng Hayateru slightly adjusted the background story of this short story, and in order to extend the length, he added a lot of content to it.
The story of this short story is not outstanding. What made it receive good reviews at the time was actually almost entirely due to the images of gods, demons and ghosts that he drew when he let himself go.
The story is about a young boy who lives alone in the world after his relatives have passed away one after another. In despair, he walks into the mountains alone, thinking that this is how he will end his life, but he accidentally goes to the other world.
There he met his relatives who had not yet had time to reincarnate. Seeing his wandering soul, they were extremely worried and gave up the queue they had waited in for a long time and sent him all the way back to the border.
The boy was told that if he got lost in the other world, he would stay there forever until his memory was completely lost and he became a truly ignorant ghost.
He had to give up this idea and say goodbye to his relatives again. However, this experience made it impossible for his life to return to its original rhythm, just because his eyes had "changed".
The door that had briefly opened to him never closed again.
The boy gained the ability to see evil spirits. In order to protect himself, he had to live in fear and dared not tell anyone.
These ghosts are bad. They are unwilling to return to the afterlife just to suck the essence of the living. Of course, some evil ghosts just enjoy doing this and like to harm people.
After witnessing another stranger being targeted by a ghost, the boy finally couldn't help but speak up to help the stranger out of danger. As a result, he was discovered by an organization that specializes in fighting ghosts. After learning that he has talent in this area, they invited him to join the organization.
The ending ended here.
Feng Hayateru changed some details, replacing the harmful ghosts discovered by the boy with the appearance of cursed spirits, calling them "vengeful spirits", and the cause was directly applied to the origin of cursed spirits.
He deliberately painted the first member of the organization who came into contact with the boy with a hideous face, implying that even among the saviors, there are people with ulterior motives.
Thus, the story suddenly changed and became a story about a lonely and helpless boy who was recruited by an organization after awakening by accident and embarked on a new journey.
Maybe it was changed to look like a passionate youth comic? This routine is very classic.
Feng Zaoche didn't have any psychological pressure before. He only painted what he wanted to paint, regardless of whether it was popular or not. But this time, since he had a goal, he had to put pressure on himself. He designed each frame as meticulously as possible and confirmed that it was perfect before he asked 920 to help him submit it for self-recommendation.
Then, after one pass, the first episode received a good response. With such an audience, everything that followed was a natural progression until today.
The progress of comic serialization is definitely slower than that of light novels. Up to now, even the content of Feng Hayateru's short story has not been completed. It is just facing a state of being exhausted. Feng Hayateru, who has already started drawing the back part, is not panicked.
Because he hasn't formally touched upon the allusions he wants to draw, even if there are parts that are obviously direct references, he can use them as common settings, not to mention...
Now that he has been in the industry for more than half a year, Feng Zaoche has become more confident that he will not be discovered.
Given the mental state of sorcerers, there aren't many people who can spare the time to follow the serialized comics. No one would guess that there are practicing sorcerers who are drawing serialized comics. Even if there are doubts, they would probably guess that they are logistics staff.
After all, this is a real job and you may not always get another one. Feng Zaoche was sent out on a mission just one month after entering school. Fortunately, he was lucky because the cursed spirit was not very powerful and he solved the problem smoothly.
Feng Zaoche pushed down the sunglasses on his nose.
He was not on vacation now, but he saw a cursed spirit with strange movements on the road. It seemed that it was one of the culprits who had been causing trouble outside recently, and he followed it.
"Looks like he's the owner of a clothing store..." Feng Zaoche watched the victim enter the store, and he stood up as well, lowering his voice with an inexplicable malice, "Why don't you go in and pick out two pieces of clothing for yourself, and wear them to dance for your companions."
The cursed spirit let out a scream, but found that its body was gradually becoming unresponsive. It struggled to take a pink dress off the rack, and insisted on wearing it even though it was clearly not suitable for its body shape. The fabric made a "tearing" sound, revealing holes in it.
"I always feel like you're scolding me, that's fine, I don't understand anyway. I really want to give you a quick death, but what can I do? I really can't do this. Who let you run into my hands?" Feng Zaoche showed a regretful expression, "I'll have to pay the owner for the skirt later. Don't be polite, just consider it a gift to you."
Outside the "tent" he had carefully arranged, a white-haired young man wearing sunglasses just swaggered out of a nearby dessert shop and looked in his direction.
Gojo Satoru: “……?”
He had seen many cursed spirits in his life, but he had never seen a cursed spirit wearing a skirt and dancing while walking.
The man he remembered followed behind the cursed spirit with ease and confidence. Although he didn't even move his hands, anyone could tell that it was this guy's work.
Is there really such a technique, or is it just a human's bad taste? No, it shouldn't be a technique, but... if it is a hobby, then wouldn't it be even worse...
Gojo Satoru fell into deep thought.
