After receiving Jaden's advice, Eiri felt suddenly enlightened.
The shift in her way of thinking even made her feel like her manga would be easier to draw.
She returned home and sat down at her desk, closing her eyes. The advice Jaden had given her seemed to still echo in her ears:
'If the protagonist is invincible from the start, then the proportion of clarity and ambiguity in the background exposition must be carefully managed. Also, focus on interactions with other characters. For example, when fighting this devil, I bet the protagonist is thinking: This guy was so arrogant before, but he's so weak in a fight. LOL!'
'When fighting the "Black Arm," he's probably thinking: Look at you, so old, and all you've mastered is this trick. You probably lived your 50+ years for nothing!'
'When fighting this monster, he's thinking: I was looking forward to the muscle you gained by risking your life, but... that's it?'
Although Eiri felt that the specific wording of the protagonist's inner thoughts, which Jaden casually suggested, wasn't quite right, she knew that Kiryu-sensei must have done it on purpose!
After all, Kiryu-sensei was a light novel author, and how could a writer lack linguistic skill?
Therefore, Kiryu-sensei must have intended for me to understand that while the protagonist remains composed, their internal thoughts can have elements of humor and interesting contrasts!
And it would be easier to use this point when creating conflict!
-As expected of Kiryu-sensei! My self-realized insights are so deep!
Eiri released her twin-tails, put on her glasses, and opened her computer.
"And Kiryu-sensei has so many novel ideas for the fighting technique settings, too! Like the move born from speeding up the heart-Kamei! Or the move used by exploiting near-death latency-Goma!"
"And the Bakuin and Mu... and every explanation sounds so real, as if I could achieve it if I trained that way!"
"Hehe, if my manga becomes famous in the future, will real martial artists really be able to create similar techniques? If someone says, 'Look, that fighter is using the Niko Style from Hakumi Eiri-sensei's Kengan Demon Spear Legend!' I would feel so accomplished."
Eiri thought this and was about to start drawing.
But just then, a dialogue box popped up on her chat software.
This was a computer projection of an email.
The people who sent her emails and notifications were very few, so Eiri clicked it open immediately, and then she saw the name she had saved for the sender-Sanzenin Nagi.
From the surname, it was clear that the other party was a member of the Sanzenin family.
Initially, Eiri's family background couldn't compare to the other party's at all, but because they shared common ground-both were blonde, both wore twin-tails, both were interested in ACG, and both drew manga-they met at a party and their relationship improved.
Due to the gap in their statuses, Sanzenin Nagi and Eiri didn't meet frequently, which led to them communicating mostly online or through email, becoming close online friends who shared everything.
So Sanzenin Nagi was very aware of Eiri's affairs.
The purpose of this email was mainly to ask about the result of her plan to seek advice from Kiryu-sensei.
"Of course, I succeeded! And based on Kiryu-sensei's advice, I already have ideas and inspiration for my manga. Kiryu-sensei is truly an amazing mentor!"
Eiri replied almost instantly.
Sanzenin Nagi, who was hiding in her huge room staring at the computer screen, saw Eiri's reply and subconsciously picked up her sketchbook and flipped through it.
Since she had known Eiri for a long time, she was aware that her manga would likely be evaluated as poor by everyone except her friend, Saginomiya Isumi.
Sanzenin Nagi wasn't counting on her manga to make money.
How much money could one manga make?
Mainly, she loved drawing and hoped her drawings would look good.
However, despite learning from Eiri for so long, her manga hadn't shown any significant improvement, but if it was the Kiryu-sensei that Eiri highly recommended...
-If I ask him to teach me too, will I be able to learn how to draw manga?
Sanzenin Nagi was torn, harboring this idea yet not wanting to show her manga to outsiders.
But after thinking for a while, she made a decision.
"I haven't finished the current one, so I'll wait until I finish this one before I go ask that Kiryu-sensei to take a look!"
...
"Alright, the meeting is adjourned. Does anyone have any other opinions?"
Following Erina's voice, everyone else at the Kengan Association meeting chose silence-Erina's proposal to increase protective measures for the fighters landing on Dinosaur Island was passed.
"In that case, meeting adjourned!"
Leaving those words, Erina departed.
She left first, and then Katahara Metsudo, who was immediately promoted to Kengan Association Consultant after Erina took office, left second with a smile.
As for the other Kengan Association members, Nogi's influence and assets were severely hit after failing to seize the chairmanship, almost forcing him to jump off a building.
Hayami Katsumasa of Toyo Electric died outright.
Since both of them were silent now, most others naturally had no opinions either.
However...
There were still people with ideas about Totsuki.
But that person wasn't a Kengan Association member, but rather...
"Young Master Unyo, this is the content of the meeting."
Shortly after the meeting ended, one of the participants immediately reported the content to Shinomiya Unyo, the son of the Shinomiya family, who, like the eldest son Oko Shinomiya, possessed the right to inherit.
On the other end of the phone, Shinomiya Unyo nodded.
"Good, I understand."
After realizing that the meeting held nothing he wanted, he hung up the phone.
He still didn't know that his eldest brother had been kidnapped, and he assumed that Oko Shinomiya's recent disappearance was preparation for the Shinomiya family succession battle one month later.
"Brother has gotten involved with the Togami, and now with the help of those monsters from the Hope's Peak Academy experiment base, we will definitely lose the succession battle in a month if we can't recruit helpers."
So...
Shinomiya Unyo looked at the photo of Hayasaka Ai on the coffee table.
"I understand my sister to some extent-or rather, my family members who went through this awful education should all turn out like my brother or me... Shinomiya won't allow a traitor to stay by their side."
"So the first target should be this Hayasaka Ai... As for my sister, as long as she has no opinions of her own, the Kengan Association standing by her side will naturally be recruited to my side."
"Only with the support of the Kengan Association will I truly have the qualifications to compete with my brother."
"Then..."
Shinomiya Unyo's gaze shifted to the chef he had summoned, who was now standing next to him with a fawning expression.
"I want to pay a visit to Totsuki now. You are truly confident you can defeat that World's Best Chef, right?"
Hearing Shinomiya Unyo's words, the chef's fawning immediately turned into confidence.
"Please trust me, sir-I have watched all of that World's Best Chef's matches. He only makes other people's dishes taste bad; his own culinary skill is mediocre, and everything he has made so far has only been things like instant noodles."
"Other chefs think too complicatedly-and because their dishes are too complicated, Jaden finds opportunities to exploit them in their numerous steps."
"So I believe dealing with Jaden is simple."
"If he makes instant noodles, I will also make the simplest instant noodles-the taste of this thing is what it is, and no matter what tricks the opponent uses, it is impossible to affect a dish with such simple steps."
He smiled at this point.
"-And as long as my instant noodles taste better than his, I will definitely win~"
"It's that simple."
