Hard work...
Yes, hard work.
Takeda recalled his days at Tatsuryū Publishing, where there were many mangaka. These geniuses settled for their drawing. They stopped working hard and only needed to adapt popular novels into manga to achieve fame, looking down on other original mangaka.
"So I was wrong!"
Takeda exclaimed, realizing that he shouldn't hate Mirai-sensei.
He had an argument with Mach when working with him, and was mercilessly fired by Tatsuryū Publishing. 'Why? Mach has a childish personality. He's not hardworking or intelligent. He takes everything for granted just by drawing and looking handsome.'
Takeda simply doesn't want to be defeated by those who rely on talent, but Mirai-sensei is not one of them.
He seems very special. Faced with the giant The Detective Sherlock, Mirai-sensei didn't flee, but bravely moved forward. He works hard. Takeda can hate a genius, but he shouldn't misjudge a hardworking person.
Geniuses like to have high self-esteem, and their willingness to work hard is even more admirable. 'If Mach and Mirai-sensei had switched roles, Mach would have been scared. But Mirai-sensei didn't stop working hard because of his talent. He possesses a brave heart. There's no reason not to admire such an author.'
And this quality had been revealed for a long time.
When all the talented artists rushed to Tatsuryū Publishing, only Mirai-sensei gave up this comfort and dedicated himself to the stagnant original manga industry. 'What determination and what dream led him to choose this path?'
He wanted to change the status quo and promote the development of original manga...
Thinking about this, Takeda's heart filled with joy and his view of Mirai-sensei changed drastically.
"I want to write him a letter!"
He wanted to write a letter to Mirai-sensei, telling him that he would support the battle between Detective Conan and The Detective Sherlock. There was no reason for such a hardworking mangaka to lose to Mach!
"Hey!"
Shiori softly jumped off the wall, patted the magazine hidden under her clothes, and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, no damage."
School had been open for a few days, but boarding students couldn't go out. If they wanted to buy Weekly Shōnen, they could only jump over the wall to go out. She was very angry that she hadn't been able to buy it yesterday, but today's cover was beautiful, and the content must be very interesting.
"Let's find Takumi to watch it together at noon."
Thinking about that village boy, Shiori felt a little dissatisfied. He hadn't taken the initiative to look for her in so many days. 'He really wasn't like a kid.'
But forget it. She's a tough woman and doesn't hold grudges. It must be very interesting to watch Detective Conan with him... Let Takumi buy it next week!
"Hey, don't run over there!"
she shouted from afar. Shiori immediately saw a security guard on a bicycle approaching rapidly. She secretly said, "Oh no!" She quickly pulled down her hat and ran towards the teaching building.
She ran faster than the bicycle. It didn't take long for her to disappear from the security guard's sight. After hiding her hat in the bathroom, Shiori entered the classroom as usual.
"Good morning, Shiori."
"Good morning, class flower."
"Good morning..."
Many boys greeted her, which made the other girls look displeased. However, Shiori encountered similar situations every year and gradually got used to it.
"Shiori, where did you go this morning?"
"Don't keep disappearing. Yesterday was the same. We were very worried when you didn't see us when we woke up!"
Her two roommates surrounded her, looking worried.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have something to do..." Shiori touched her head and was about to make an excuse when, suddenly, with a dull thud, the magazine she was carrying slipped out of her clothes and fell to the floor.
"..."
The entire class looked at the floor.
"Weekly Shōnen." A girl was the first to exclaim, covering her mouth: "Shiori, you actually read a manga magazine!"
The boys looked at her one after another. 'Was their class flower not a beautiful and pure goddess? How could she read manga?' Shiori frowned slightly, bent down to pick up the magazine, and sighed: "You really saw it, so I might as well tell you frankly."
"Actually, I...". She smiled gracefully: "What I like to read most are manga. I've been following Detective Conan lately!"
Her two roommates exchanged bitter smiles. Indeed, it was the same. The others were stunned. After a long while, the entire class erupted in anger.
"Detective Conan, I follow it too!"
"Shiori, I misunderstood you, all women who read Detective Conan are good sisters!"
"Yes, yes, let's read it together!"
The girls surrounded Shiori, and the barrier they had just felt disappeared. The boys felt cold as they watched these girls suddenly change their attitude. Shiori couldn't stand the crowd around her, so she simply placed the Weekly Shōnen magazine on the table and let everyone read it together.
"Wait, don't turn the page, this cover is beautiful! Handsome, did Mirai-sensei introduce a new character?"
"Hey, don't block me, I can't see it, let me take a look!"
With this enthusiasm, Shiori opened Weekly Shōnen magazine and began to leaf through it.
The plot of this issue of Detective Conan is undoubtedly very good. The girls screamed and blushed, especially when Kaito Kid descended majestically from the sky; the roof almost collapsed amidst the screams.
"How handsome!"
"The duel between the little one and the handsome one is unbearable; my nose is bleeding..."
Some girls were so excited that their noses bled and they covered their noses with tissues for Shiori to keep turning the pages. But the duel in the manga ended soon, and Kaito Kid magically disappeared.
"Hey, how did it end?"
"I remember how he disappeared, so it ended without explanation!"
The girls were a little dissatisfied, but they said indignantly, "Did Conan lose? That thief escaped like that, how unfair!"
"Little Conan is pitiful, I want to keep watching their duel."
Shiori was also a little disappointed. She turned to the last page and saw an advertisement for the individual volume.
'Oh my God! Is this a conspiracy by the author? He declared war on The Detective Sherlock and deliberately mocked our girls... —Mockery!'
'...Oh my God, Mirai-sensei, I'm convinced! I beg you to keep drawing the duel between Conan and Kaito Kid.'
"I'm convinced too. I'll buy the manga, won't I?"
"I want to buy it too!"
The girls were in shock all morning because of Detective Conan and couldn't get out of it.
However, after the fourth class, Shiori picked up the magazine and went to find Takumi.
"Takumi? It seems there's someone like that in our class, but he's been on leave for a long time...". The tenth-grade monitor replied like that, which worried Shiori greatly. 'Why such a long leave? Is Takumi sick?'
She sent a text message to ask, but the reply was: "I'm working outside, and I agreed with the school that I'll only come during exams."
'Working? Suddenly, Shiori found this compatriot a little mysterious.'
