Seiji endured the killer maid's … Senpai's pressure as he explained the situation.
Thanks to Ling Yang's testimony, he was once again free from the suspicion of being a pervert.
Although Mai accepted his explanation, she still didn't seem to be able to accept it.
"Junior, I really want to give you a lecture right now, but I don't have much time … at any rate, please take care of yourself," the maid said in a meaningful tone.
'Don't go looking for trouble.' Seiji felt like he could clearly hear what she was implying.
"This humble one shall take this to heart and never cross the line." He couldn't help but use a classic line in response.
"That's good."
After breakfast, they left together.
Mika and Chiaki, who was being dragged up by Mika, were both astonished to see Mai.
They had met this legendary former student council president during the school festival, but they had never talked to her before.
Both of them greeted each other and got to know each other.
At this moment, Feng Wu arrived as well. Mai greeted the blonde infirmary teacher, who smiled in response and introduced Mai by name.
"Juumonji-sensei, you know Houjou-senpai?"
"Yes, she once brought a sick girl to the infirmary, and I chatted with her for a while, which left me with some impression." Feng Wu smiled. "At the time, I thought that she might be Harano-kun's acquaintance or friend, and it seems that my guess was correct."
"Why would Sensei think so?" Chiaki was curious.
"Because I feel that she's rather similar to Harano-kun … she doesn't seem like an ordinary student."
Mai's words were rather vague, but both Chiaki and Mika had expressions of understanding.
"Heh heh, Juumonji-sensei isn't an ordinary teacher either, so we're the same." Mai smiled.
The beautiful female student (killer maid) and beautiful female teacher (mafia heiress) smiled as they exchanged glances. It was a beautiful scene.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
A beautiful woman's smile hid a dark secret … should he say it like that?
After that, Mai took Ling Yang to her elementary school.
Seiji, Mika, Chiaki, and Feng Wu headed to middle school and explained the situation to them on the way.
"A duel between Spiritual Ability users … I really want to see it." Chiaki's mind wandered.
"You should worry about Seigo first." Mika gave her friend a sideways glance.
"It's okay. His participation in the battle means that he will win! Right? "
"I'm glad that you trust me so much, but if it's possible, I still hope that you'll be worried," Seiji said.
"Seigo, don't die! You said that you would marry me and accompany me for the rest of my life! "Chiaki pretended to be affectionate.
"I never said that!"
"Seigo, come back alive! Mika is waiting for you to marry her and accompany her for the rest of her life! "Chiaki pretended to be serious.
"There is no such agreement!"
"Seigo, you can't die! You still need to realize your dream of creating an extravagant harem! "Chiaki pretended to be hot-blooded.
"Realize, the hell! You're going overboard! Don't randomly raise death flags for me!! "Seiji forcefully retorted.
Mika and Feng Wu were rendered speechless.
The twintailed girl sighed as she watched the two of them argue. The blonde teacher smiled.
"Uehara-san, there's no need to worry too much. If the situation is serious, Harano-kun wouldn't be like this." Feng Wu noticed the girl's emotions and spoke up.
"I know … but it's still a duel … even though Seigo makes it sound like it's nothing serious …"
"If you feel uneasy, talk to him by yourself. Don't bring Wakaba -san with you, heehee …"
"Yeah …" Mika felt that this was a good suggestion after seeing the noisy scene before her.
After arriving at school, Seiji separated from them and went to the student council president's residence and the underground practice field.
The first spell that he wanted to learn after becoming a Yin-Yang Master was [Dragon Counterattack]!
It was the ultimate spell that the system had rewarded him with after his duel with Okubo Yoshiaki. It reminded him of the ultimate spell of [A gay guy unzip my pants].
The first two requirements to learn this ultimate spell required him to learn at least six spells or martial arts techniques! That was why even though it seemed amazing, he could only put it aside for now.
And now, he was only one defensive spell or martial arts technique away from fulfilling the first two requirements. That was why he wanted to learn this ultimate spell as his goal.
After some consideration, Seiji decided to learn the [Ksitigarbha Form].
This defensive technique could be used while standing on the ground. It could partially dissipate the power of physical or Mana attacks and transfer it to the ground. It would be even more effective when used together with a [Mana Shield] … That was the gist of the system's explanation.
He immediately began cultivating.
While he was cultivating, Hitaka and Rona arrived one after another. They greeted him and began cultivating as well.
Time passed just like that.
When it was almost lunchtime, Seiji received a phone call.
It was Editor Yoshizawa, whom he had intended to contact today.
"'Brother Monogatari' will be released next Wednesday." The editor went straight to the point after greeting him.
"Next Wednesday … that's wonderful!" Seiji was overjoyed.
"And tomorrow night, you need to attend an award ceremony to receive a special award."
"Eh? An award ceremony? A special award? "
"Yep, it's our Thunder Bunko's newcomer award. 'Brother Monogatari' received a special award," Saki told him.
"Oh … thank you." Seiji was rather surprised.
He suddenly received an award, a special newcomer award, which seemed rather amazing …
He suddenly recalled that several of the light novels he had read before had received this newcomer award, including [I Can't Sleep Together with My Younger Sister] and [Chronicles of the Demon Sword]!
When he thought about the specific light novels, he felt that this award was real.
"Are you free tomorrow night?"
"I'm free!" Seiji answered. Since he was fortunate enough to receive an award, he definitely had to receive it.
Saki told him the time and place.
Seiji noted it down and promised that he would be there on time.
They ended their conversation there.
Not only did he find out when "Brother Monogatari" would be released, he was also notified to receive an award. What a surprise.
He left the practice field and went to the living room to rest for a while. He then used his cell phone to look up information on the "Thunder Bunko Newcomer Award."
He discovered that this award was quite important. Golden Award winning stories would generally sell well, and as for the special award … it wasn't anything special. It was just an additional honorary award, or perhaps a consolation prize.
Although he was a little disappointed, he felt that this was the right thing to do. He hadn't even submitted his story for this award, so it would have been strange if he had received an actual award.
He checked further and discovered that the deadline for submissions for this newcomer award was last November! At that time, he had just entered Yuen Hwa Secondary and met Little Shi Kagura for the first time in the drama club … "Brother Monogatari" hadn't even been written yet.
After the deadline, the editorial department reviewed the submissions. The first list of nominees, as well as the second list of nominees, didn't include "Brother Monogatari." It only suddenly appeared in the third list of nominees, and it was even noted as a "special selection!"
Wait a moment, this …
Seiji's eyes twitched as he continued searching for more information. As he expected, he discovered that "Brother Monogatari" didn't go through the first or second round of selections. It directly appeared in the final list, and it even received a special award in the end. This caused a lot of "heated" discussion in the relevant forums!
Keywords included "shady dealings," "shady dealings," "the shame of the newcomer award," "the industry is doomed," and so on.
