There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"I think you just need to keep yourself busy with Misaki. She'll probably need you to do some martial arts demonstrations or something, so it's better to leave the detailed designs to her."

"That's probably what I think, but I think I can do it more thoroughly than you think, Senior Ren."

"…What do you mean?" Ren was confused.

Li Nian organized his words before answering, "Whatever scenario you imagine, whether it complies with the laws of physics... or even violates the laws of physics, I should be able to find a way to recreate it for you, including the entire fight scene."

Chapter 309: Mortals, each following their own path

It seemed that there was another social gathering today. When everyone was halfway through the meal, Teacher Qianxun, who was rushing to hook up with men, left first. She still didn't know Li Nian's identity as an exorcist. Without this person here, the rest of the people present were insiders, and Li Nian also spoke and acted without restraint.

After hearing what Li Nian said, Ren was speechless for a while, then laughed and said, "What you said is too exaggerated."

"..."

"...Are you serious?"

Seeing that Li Nian's expression was quite serious, Rencai gradually felt that this guy was not joking.

"Of course I'm serious."

Ren was really shocked. He stared at Li Nian with his eyes wide open. He still didn't quite believe it, but he also understood that Li Nian meant that he was really sure. He was really curious and asked, "Specifically, to what extent can you do it?"

"To be specific..." Li Nian said as he thought about how his many methods could be used: "Scenes, buildings, clothes, weapons, I can make these real objects. As for other special effects, to put it simply, the reflection of light, the effect of energy flow, I can always think of some way - basically, I can reproduce anything you can think of. In short, I can bring all the scenes you can think of into reality and perform them..."

Aoyama and Kanda, who were listening nearby, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Kanda asked with interest: "For example...the explosion scene?"

"Simple." Li Nian put his hands together and made a flower-blowing gesture. "Blow up a building, blow up a car, or blow up a person? Kanda, what kind of art do you want to see?"

"Bombing, bombing people, etc... Don't take it seriously, I just mentioned it casually... No, can you really do these things, Li Nian?"

"Yes, explosion is the easiest to achieve. I'm very good at it. I can try to do any trick you want to see."

Li Nian became very interested as she talked about this topic.

I always feel that there is something dangerous in the excitement in this guy's words, and Ren can't help but feel a chill.

Good at explosions and such, what does this younger generation of exorcists do on a daily basis? Are all the so-called exorcists in the world as dangerous as him?

Ueigusa was listening intently, and at this moment he started to cheer excitedly: "Explosion? Explosion! Explosion is great! DuangDuang, super gorgeous! I love this kind of art the most? How about the newcomer performing a human fireworks show now?!"

"Okay, the question is who to bomb?"

Kamiigusa named without hesitation: "Korata!"

Kanda was furious: "Misaki-senpai, you sacrificed me without hesitation? Do you really want to shoot your cute junior into the sky and explode into fireworks?"

Kamiigusa made a shy bump: "Cum, cum to the sky or something, when did Kota become so good?"

"I feel like I'm in the mood to make dirty jokes with you now!"

“Ahem.” Ren coughed and brought the topic back to the topic, “Okay, let’s talk about Kota setting off fireworks later.”

"Throw away this issue!"

Mashiro tugged at Kanda's sleeve, her face full of anticipation: "Korata, I want to see the fireworks."

Qingshan didn't know what he was thinking, and he looked fascinated. "Now that you mention it, I kind of want to see it. Fireworks... Come to think of it, there seems to be a fireworks display recently..."

Kanda was desperate: "So everyone in Sakurasou wants me dead, right?"

After teasing Kanda for a while, Ren continued to speak to Li Nian.

"Okay, I think I understand what you mean. You can reproduce everything you think of, right? That's great, awesome, and powerful. But even if you put it that way, I don't know why you should do this. Is it necessary for animation production?"

"Ren, I think it's necessary!" The one who answered was not Li Nian but Uegusa. She was obviously very happy and was already thinking of various scenarios in her mind. This woman has always been very brave. If Li Nian dares to say it, she dares to think it. At this time, her thoughts have already wandered to the battle of the stars, the sea and the universe. She casually said: "If there is an actual scene being performed in front of me, the reference value will certainly be very large, and my animation production will be much simpler."

The material selection is an extremely important step in the production of animation, so it would be great if someone could perform it on the spot.

"That's what I thought." Li Nian nodded. "I'll just practice it for you, so you don't have to run around everywhere to get materials, right? Having ready-made things for you to see is believing, which should be much simpler and more reliable than imagining it out of thin air."

Ren had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Indeed, if we can see all the scenes directly in reality, it will be of great help to us in making animations..."

The physical manifestation of smoke and dust, all the details of the characters' movements, and even the changing trajectories of clothes flying in the wind - there is no better way to find reference value for these details than by actual observation.

There is even a technique called "rotoscoping" in animation production, which is to record real movements frame by frame and draw them into animation. This technique is widely used in animation production. It saves time and makes the realism feel particularly strong.

However, it is rare to be able to make the scenes used for reference to the extent that Li Nian said...

Ren gave another bitter smile.

"However, Li Nian, if you are so powerful that you can show this kind of scene in reality, it can be said to be a Hollywood-level special effects movie. It seems a bit exaggerated to use this ability as a reference for animation."

Li Nian also laughed: "Now that you put it that way, it seems that I can be the special effects manager for a billion-dollar project by myself? Got it, if I'm too poor to eat in the future, I'll go make movies."

Ren smiled, then asked seriously, "Will it be troublesome to do all this?"

Li Nian shook his head: "No, it's better to say that I just brought it up to save trouble."

Li Nian mentioned this without thinking too much. It was just that when he decided to do the action design for everyone's animation production, he began to think further about how to fulfill this responsibility. After all, how should the action design that cooperates with animation production be done? Li Nian had never been exposed to it before, but he had seen excellent animation fighting scenes.

If we were to ask Li Nian about his superficial understanding of this, it would be that he thinks good-looking fighting scenes in animations should be both cool and realistic.

The characters' movements are more refined and closer to realistic physical expressions, and even the techniques included are existing martial arts in reality - this is exactly what Li Nian is best at.

Since the word "real" is so important, how to design it would naturally be best if Li Nian could practice it in his physical body.

For example, you can create a "spirit" to fight against him, and complete the action design with real fighting... Going a step further, you can also make clothes, weapons, and other things through [materialization]...

He didn't understand the technique of "rotoscoping", he just thought that it would save a lot of trouble if Kamiigusa could just "copy" when making the animation. As for what special processing to do in the form of animation, that was her business.

To put it bluntly, it doesn't have to be a real performance, it's just a fake performance.

In fact, it’s not that troublesome. When Li Nian expressed this idea, he had already thought about how to achieve it.

The simplest method is to construct a scene in the sea of ​​consciousness during visualization, and then manifest it in reality in the form of an illusion.

Of course it’s not impossible to act it out for real.

There are always more ways than difficulties.

Ren continued to ask, "The exorcist's methods are used for this, don't you have any other concerns?"

"Maybe, but I don't know and I don't care." Li Nian shrugged disapprovingly: "You should have seen that I am an efficiency-oriented person. If necessary, I will use all means, and no one can stop me."

"No one can stop me. You are worthy of being the God of War of Sobu High School. You are so heroic."

"...Wait a minute, what is that title? Is it talking about me?" Li Nian was shocked. It was the first time he heard such a title for himself being circulated in the school.

"They say you are full of muscle and have great martial arts skills, but you are actually a gangster. You once punched a group of thugs at the school gate and kicked a senior student in the third year of high school. You are a top-notch hero among Japanese high school students."

"..." Because what he said seemed to be true events that had actually happened, Li Nian was speechless. He said helplessly, "The title of God of War is too exaggerated. What era is this? Are you still playing the biker gang game? Then I will climb to the top of Sobu High School and become a leader tomorrow to show them. Maybe I can even recruit a few young and inexperienced brothers to call me big brother."

"Hahaha, young people just like these kinds of rumors and exaggerated stunts."

"The reality is much more exaggerated than the rumors. Who knew he was really an exorcist?" Qingshan said with a smile, "Compared with the demons and monsters he has to deal with, a few thugs are nothing."

Kanda looked at Li Nian in silence at this time, thinking about the battle between him and the monster that he had witnessed. That scene was still fresh in his memory. He felt that Qingshan was right.

Ren nodded and said, "Since you are going to do this, Li Nian, I will try my best to use your power as much as possible. But let me think about how to use it specifically."

"That's how it should be. Just tell me if you have anything to ask. I will do my best as long as it is within my ability."

Li Nian made a vow, and it was by no means an exaggeration. These people chose their own works to be the scripts for the animated short film in order to allow his books to be qualified for animation. He is one of the ultimate beneficiaries and should contribute his own strength to this end, sparing no effort and using any means necessary.

Then I heard Uesugi suddenly say, "I want to build a space battleship! I want to watch Star Wars! Come on, show me a salvo of cannon fire! Planets explode!"

“…This is really impossible.”

Ueigusa showed a look of disdain: "Huh? God of War? That's it?"

Li Nian said unhappily, "I have seen the God of War, but he is not as powerful as you say."

“You have really seen it…?” Kanda was stunned.

After being disturbed by Shang Jinggusa, Li Nian sighed and reminded Senior Xiang Ren: "We still have to control the scale. Please spare me the scale of Star Wars."

"I understand." Ren turned to Igusa and said, "Misaki, the theme has been confirmed to be a battle between the king and the god. Although I know that your thoughts have been wandering when you heard what Li Nian said about the live performance, but now that the content has been confirmed, you should concentrate."

Only Shang Jingusa would listen to what Senior Ren said. Although he looked reluctant, he still nodded.

"Anyway, I need to think of a script first... A three-minute short story can't possibly take much time, but without further ado, I'll leave now. Misaki, let's discuss this."

Since it was decided, there was no need to hesitate. Ren put down his bowl and chopsticks, called Misaki, and went back to his room.

"Leave it to you."

Li Nian smiled and waved his hand. He had to wait for the two of them to take out the script and make a general arrangement of the content before he could do his "action design".

Kanda watched the seniors leave and said with emotion: "Senior Ren and Senior Misaki are making a comeback..."

"I guess it will be another bloody storm?"

"It's true that there must be a lot of blood and gore on the N site barrage... But that's not right. In Misaki-senpai's previous works, the keyboard warriors' attacks were often directed at Ren-senpai."

"…If the script is not well written, then you will be criticized. There is nothing I can do about it, but this time it is just a short story of a few minutes."

"Then we can only focus on the [God's Painting]."

Everyone has seen Kamiigusa's work Sakurasou, which is truly a visual feast. Regardless of other features, this alone is worth seeing.

Qingshan's eyes flickered as he looked at Li Nian: "This time, the [God's Painting] will also feature the action design of an active exorcist. I'm really looking forward to what new chemical reactions will emerge."

Subconsciously, he wanted to say, "Please forgive me." But when he got to the point of saying it, Li Nian realized that it was his duty to live up to the talent of Igusa Misaki, so he said, "I will make this work even better."

"Oh, full of confidence."

"Don't think it's none of your business, Qingshan. As always, we'll find you for the dubbing."

"......Huh?" Aoyama was a little confused. It was true that since they met, Kamiigusa would ask her, Aoyama, to dub their works, but did this work also need her help?

"God is a female." Li Nian knew what she was confused about from her expression and explained.

"…This is the first time I've heard of this. I'll have to take a look at your work, Li Nian."

"The short animation that Misaki-senpai is going to make this time is one thing, and I may also need your help personally after that."

"Hmm? It's okay. I've received a lot of care from you, Li Nian. Please be sure to return the favor."

Without asking what it was, Qingshan agreed readily. In fact, he was talking about the game that An Yi played, but there was really no clue about it, so Li Nian did not elaborate on it.

"Speaking of voice actors." Kanda suddenly remembered something and asked Aoyama, "Is your audition also going to be held soon?"

"Yeah, I hope I can be selected."

Selection?

Li Nian listened and paid attention. She knew that they were probably talking about the agency that Qingshan belonged to. Qingshan was an aspiring voice actor. But she was only a trainee now. The selection might be about getting a full-time job, which was a very important matter for Qingshan...

"I'm so sleepy..." Shiina at the side made a small sound. Looking over, the child was already dozing off in a swaying sitting position.

"You can't fall asleep here, Mashiro."

With her personality, she would fall asleep on the dining table if left alone. Qingshan got up helplessly: "I will take Shiina back to her room first."

Li Nian nodded, and waved his hand to send Kanda, who wanted to stay to help clean up the mess on the table, away, saying he was in the way.

He was the only one doing the cleaning work - having said that, he was just using his telekinesis to control the cleaning process of various things. He was sitting there, but his mind was thinking about other things.

"Come to think of it, everyone in Sakurasou is busy with something now."

When Kanda also found his goal, all the members of Sakurasou were on the right track. Gathered around him were young people who were working hard for their goal - this situation was quite rare. The atmosphere in the entire Sakurasou was obviously getting hotter, even to the point of burning himself.

This change is undoubtedly a good thing.

"Hopefully everything goes well."

Li Nian talked to himself, then shook his head to deny this naive idea and said decisively.

"No, you have to do your best to pave the way and make everything go smoothly."

Chapter 310: Growing Silently

It’s Monday again, when office workers need to go to work and students need to go to school.

Li Nian had a full meal and fell asleep early yesterday. He slept for a long time and finally recovered 80% of the physical strength, energy, blood, magic power, etc. consumed after the battle with the earth spider. He was still a little sleepy after waking up today, and even had a rare feeling of resistance to going to school.

Li Nian was lying flat on the bed, staring at the desk lamp on the ceiling in a daze for a long time, wondering if he could just use the excuse of encountering an end-of-the-world emergency to ask for leave from Mr. Hiratsuka?
