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

After all, Mr. Muzi Jinxin is the author of the library, and the copyright of Li Nian, who has signed a contract, is in the hands of the library. It is impossible to skip the library to carry out the animation project. The editor Machida who is in charge of Mr. Muzi is the bridge of communication between the two parties and the person in charge of the connection. Machida is needed to promote Kamiigusa's animation project to the upper level and convince the upper level of the library that this is a project worth doing.

Well, they are using deceptive methods to describe the project as big as possible, so as to deceive the top management and give them a feeling that "this is going to work!" In short, they are just exaggerating...

Of course, Ms. Machida also understands that none of the senior executives of the library are fools. They are all shrewd old men who will not be easily deceived. If they believe in unrealistic lies, even if you make them sound fantastic, they will only believe half of it at most. On the other hand, it depends on the actual situation. Machida needs to come up with sufficiently convincing negotiation materials.

The negotiation materials cannot use Li Nian's talent as an excuse. Although Ms. Machida believes in Li Nian's ability and thinks he will become very famous in the future and become an author whose pen name is very convincing - but now he is just a nobody. Generally speaking, it is a bit of a pipe dream for such a newcomer to get a plan to make his work into an animation.

But it’s different with the help of Misaki Kamiigusa.

Kamiigusa is still very famous. Although Ms. Machida doesn't know much about the animation industry, she is sure of this.

Because she had asked her friends about it in advance.

Her friend said that Kamiigusa is a talented person who has created many excellent personal works and even recently completed an excellent commercial animation project, which became a huge hit.

Such a genius is, of course, a hot producer in the animation industry today. Professionals are scrambling to find opportunities to work with Kamiigusa Misaki. She doesn't need to ask people for help for the projects she wants to do. Just spread the word and companies will contact her. Kamiigusa said she wanted to make a short story first to try her hand. If the short story is well done and is noticed by the animation industry, then there will definitely be more people who want to cooperate with her, and Kamiigusa will even get the right to choose.

If she has the merit of producing works that sell well, she will be considered to have the ability to produce works that sell well.

After hearing Ms. Machida ask about Kamiigusa Misaki, her friend herself took the initiative to ask if she wanted to go with Ms. Machida to meet such a talented person - and also wanted to meet the writer whose work was noticed by such an outstanding animation producer.

Machida cleverly used rhetoric, saying things like, "I haven't met him yet so I don't know what the situation is. We'll talk about it when we have the chance." He got away with it.

It's not that Miss Machida is so cold-blooded that she is ungrateful and doesn't intend to give back after getting information from others. The main reason is that she understands that her friend, as long as he meets a talented person, he will want to recruit him under his command and use him for his own purposes, and his behavior is almost arrogant.

Machida felt that it was not a good time for her to get in touch with Igusa or Li Nian...

In any case, the fact that he valued her also showed her talent. That person thought that Kamiigusa's name was enough to convince the library's top management, so Ms. Machida was willing to believe it.

In the final analysis, no matter which library it is, they are all trying to find opportunities to animate their own works. These days, animation can easily boost the popularity of novels, and popularity will turn into sales, and sales will bring in the money the library needs. Although plans to animate novels will generally only be promoted for works that already have good sales, if there are other reasons that can make the top management see profitability, then even for new authors, the animation plan can be smoothly promoted.

As long as we can make the top management feel that this animation project can be successful, can boost sales, and can establish a valuable IP... No, it's not about making others feel that way, but we have to work towards that goal and seize the opportunity to push Teacher Muzi to that level.

Of course, whether this achievement can be achieved depends on Li Nian herself.

Miss Machida stared at Li Nian. Out of concern for Li Nian, she listened carefully to his conversation with Isayama. As an excellent editor who was good at observing people's words and expressions, she could naturally extract more information than anyone else present. At this time, she opened her mouth softly and asked Li Nian.

"So, Teacher Muzi is also an exorcist?"

When Ms. Machida asked, Li Nian nodded.

"Yes... I haven't told Ms. Machida yet, right?"

"I see... Xiao Shi's special identity is this. This is indeed quite surprising."

"It's nothing special. I didn't tell you, Ms. Machida, just because I never had the chance. It's not that I wanted to hide it on purpose."

"Is that lady over there your colleague?"

Isayama smiled and greeted Ms. Machida: "Hello, I'm Isayama Yomi. I don't dare to be your colleague. I'm just a worker in the Yin-Yang Department who cleans up the ass of this great exorcist Li..."

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. Next time, I will be careful to break the rules and do it more cleanly without leaving any traces, and try not to cause you any trouble. So can you stop being so sarcastic?" Li Nian found that Jianshan seemed to have a lot of resentment, and would use this matter to hurt him whenever he got the chance, so he could only make a promise helplessly.

"Are you working in the wrong direction? Can't you try not to break the rules?" Isayama glanced at him with his phoenix eyes, rolled his eyes at him, and turned to Sawamura and smiled, "Let's not talk about our business. I know everyone in Sakurasou, but you haven't introduced these two to me yet."

"This blonde with twin tails is pretty famous, you should know."

"I know, but I don't know how you got involved with this beautiful lady from Sobu High School."

"All kinds of bad karma, he's my friend... and someone who knows my identity as an exorcist."

"Although blonde twintails are my trademark, I have the resounding name of Sawamura Spencer Eriri to be introduced!" Sawamura complained dissatisfiedly, and then realized that it was contrary to her usual image to yell in front of strangers. She pretended to be a dignified lady and smiled without showing her teeth. At the right time, she greeted Isayama: "Hello, Isayama-senpai, you, the leader of the kendo club, are also very famous among the girls in our second-year J group. Everyone is very curious about a dashing beauty like you. I dare not show off my little fame in front of you."

Gui'an, this girl is pretending again. She doesn't even know what the point is. Let alone Isayama, when you were chatting with Kamiigusa, your true nature was exposed in front of everyone in Sakurasou. Don't you have any sense of self-awareness?

Well, it has been a while since Sawamura has been aware of his tendency to become carried away by success, so Li Nian was too lazy to say anything.

Isayama could see that this famous noblewoman of Sobu High School, the daughter of a diplomat, seemed to show a different side of her nature in front of Li Nian, but he certainly wouldn't point it out. He just smiled and shook his head: "Not at all, beauties like Sawamura are more famous in school, so forget about my appearance... But speaking of fame, I really want to live an ordinary school life."

Jianshan said to Li Niandao.

"It seems that everyone present here knows your little secret, and now they know mine too... Well, although most of them have known about it long ago because they have seen me and Luan Honglian before, there are just a few more now."

"Even the few who came in, they are all people who can keep their mouths shut. They didn't say anything nonsense before, and they won't say anything nonsense in the future."

Isayama believed this because no one, including Misaki, publicized the secret she wanted to hide, and she was still an ordinary senior high school student in school.

Although Li Nian himself became famous because of his relationship with the child prodigy and some incidents, no information about his identity as an exorcist has been leaked.

It can be seen that everyone is keeping a secret, which is why Isayama doesn't mind talking to Li Nian about the work related to spiritual disasters in front of everyone... But it seems that Li Nian has more than just this one, and has exposed it to quite a few people, which makes Isayama a little strange.

"By the way, don't you also like to keep secrets and don't want others to know your identity as an exorcist?"

"I kept it secret because I was afraid of trouble, but I found that keeping it secret actually seemed to cause more trouble, so I just didn't bother to keep it secret. After all, I'm now regarded as a famous ornamental animal in school, so it doesn't matter if I get more attention. This is called breaking the jar."

"...That's true. Li Wushen's name is so famous that it's even spread among the third graders." Isayama said with a smile, and then said, "But that's your business, not mine. I want to live a peaceful high school life for a few more days."

"Isayama-senpai is about to graduate, right? I remember that third years should be able to go to school freely soon. Why are you still hiding?"

"It's better to wait a few days. My juniors and friends in the Kendo Club don't know about it... Anyway, this Sawamura-san, Li Nian doesn't care about his secrets anymore. It's one thing for you to expose them casually, but please don't talk nonsense about my information."

"I know, Isayama-senpai." Sawamura nodded obediently.

"And that lady over there...Ms. Machida."

"Hello, I'm Machida Sonoko."

"…You don't seem to be related to Sobu High School."

"I am the editor of Phoenix Library, responsible for the novels of Mr. Muzi... that is, Mr. Li Nian."

"Oh?" Isayama turned his curious gaze to Li Nian: "Are you still writing novels?"

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

Isayama curled his lips: "You know a little bit about everything. I'm too lazy to be surprised by what you suddenly know now."

Chapter 347: Strike while the iron is hot, and work hard

"Want to see my masterpiece?"

"Let's talk about it when there's a chance. I'm not interested right now."

"Oh, it's the kind of perfunctory lines that I won't want to read again."

"If you know, don't say it."

As the captain of the kendo club, Isayama is the kind of athletic JK who leads a healthy life on weekdays. She has no interest in reading and knows little about light novels.

It’s not that she doesn’t like reading interesting popular books like novels, but mainly because she doesn’t have much time to read on weekdays.

While being extremely busy with work, Isayama also needs to do daily practice like Li Nian. In addition to these two important things that occupy most of her time, Isayama is also very serious in her studies, and the kendo club activities are also very colorful. Isayama lives a fulfilling life every day - now it is so fulfilling that she is almost dying from overwork.

Fortunately, Jianshan is an excellent exorcist. Although he is not as capable as Li Nian, he is still a first-class person.

Her physical fitness and brain are much stronger than those of her peers. This is the result of practice. The purpose of practice is to improve oneself. After long-term training, Isayama's various attributes have been honed to a high level. Therefore, not only in combat, but also in daily work and life, she has many advantages over others. She can quickly grasp the key to doing anything, and can complete any work with extremely high efficiency with a more focused spirit.

But taking care of so many things still makes Isayama very tired. It's rare for him to have free time, and when he has free time, he just wants to empty his brain, be a useless person who does nothing, and have a good rest.

"As you can see, I'm so busy, how can I have the time and leisure to read novels... Writing novels is also a very troublesome thing. How can you have the time to take care of such a side job? Don't you have to do daily practice? I thought that people as strong as you spend all their free time on practice..."

"Of course I have practiced hard. For example, sparring with Tsuchigumo is one of my training activities. You can try it."

Li Nian sincerely suggested that Jianshan try this method of finding strong people to hone their skills in life-and-death battles. After experiencing several life-and-death battles, Li Nian felt that he benefited a lot. He now felt that this was the fastest way to practice.

"If I try, I'll die, so I'd rather not. I'm still young and want to live a few more years. Lord Dalian Temple is right, you are psychopaths, we are ordinary people who want to live a peaceful life, and we are not interested in learning from you psychopaths to pick fights everywhere."

Waving his hands weakly, Isayama really felt tired. He had already discussed serious matters with Li Nian and decided not to report the fact that he let Yato go. After that, he would reply to his superior that there was no problem and that would be the end of the matter. Isayama temporarily had no follow-up work. Now that he had finally finished his work and had some free time, he felt like sleeping.

Now he let himself relax, and Isayama slowly lay down with his eyelids drooping, speaking weakly.

"Excuse me, I want to take a moment to lie down before someone prepares the meal. You guys can chat, don't bother with me..."

As she said this, she was about to lie down on the table and fall asleep.

"...You really should take a day off and have a good rest for two days." Li Nian reminded: "If you want to sleep, don't sleep here, you will catch a cold, go to bed."

"That's true." Jianshan raised his head reluctantly and looked directly at Li Nian: "Then is there a bed you can lend me?"

The look in her eyes made it clear that she didn't want to be too obvious, so Li Nian had no choice but to say, "If you don't mind, you can go to my room and sleep on my bed."

"……lead the way."

"Okay, I'll take her there." Li Nian stood up, apologized to everyone, and sent Jianshan to his room. The senior sister was not polite either. She entered Li Nian's room, saw Li Nian's bed, and simply fell on it with her hands and gravity. Within three seconds of touching the pillow, she fell asleep, snoring softly, and fell asleep in seconds.

It seems that he is really tired.

Li Nian shook her head, pulled up the quilt beside her to cover her, turned around and went back to the living room, and saw everyone looking at her with quite strange eyes.

Knowing that it was a gossipy look, Li Nian sat down in his seat, poured himself a cup of tea, and spoke leisurely while drinking it.

"You can say whatever you want to say, but forget about boring love gossip."

"Don't you know what we want to ask?"

Although Li Nian's words meant to keep him silent, Sanying Ren couldn't help but continue asking out of curiosity.

"The Isayama I know wouldn't be so casual in front of others. She is the kind of person who is amiable, lively and active, but her words and actions are always very well-educated. In fact, she always keeps a distance from others... just like the sense of distance that you, Li Nian, give people. Now that I think about it, it's probably because you have a special profession like exorcist. You feel that you are different from ordinary people and have other responsibilities and obligations. In fact, it is the case... In short, Isayama is confident, positive, strong, and dignified in front of others. She would act so casual in front of all of us in Sakurasou, but the first time I saw her after being classmates with her for so long was because it was in front of you, Li Nian."

"Can you please stop thinking like that? There can't be pure friendship between a man and a woman, right?"

Of course, Li Nian could tell what Mitaka Jin meant. She was really tired of this kind of gossip. She felt that the way Senior Jin looked at the girl was a little skewed. At the same time, she also felt that this kind of joke was a little disrespectful to Isayama. She reminded him, "He is my colleague and comrade-in-arms. We have a life-and-death relationship. It is only right that we should be casual. Your words and thoughts are very disrespectful to other girls."

Kanda and Aoyama, who were pretending not to care but listening carefully, stopped gossiping after hearing what Li Nian said.

Hearing the warning in Li Nian's slightly cold tone, Senior Ren raised his hands in surrender and closed his mouth. However, he thought in his heart that even if they were comrades-in-arms with whom he had shared life and death, Isayama's relaxed look was a little abnormal based on his understanding of women.

Unlike Kanda and Aoyama who agreed with Li Nian's statement, Mitaka Jin, who is experienced with women, knows that women will not easily let down their guard in front of men, especially someone like Isayama.

This captain of the kendo club, who seems to be able to get along well with everyone and appears to be dashing and smart, actually never gets the distance wrong. He knows the relationships between classmates in the class, the relationships between seniors and juniors in the club, the relationships between teachers and students, and so on. He knows the relationships between people very well. His casual attitude towards Li Nian also shows that he is equally close to Li Nian, which is unique.

…It can be explained because they have a life-and-death friendship, but although that friendship is special, it is still a friendship, and a very deep friendship. There is no reason why it cannot become deeper.

What Mitaka Jin was thinking was, it’s true that it’s pure friendship now, but will it be like that in the future?

But of course he also understood that this was just a sign. If both sides didn't realize anything, then there really was nothing. It was true that there was only a brotherhood between the two of them now. If this sign didn't sprout, there would be no unnecessary changes, and pure friendship would only be pure friendship in the future.

His original intention was just to think that Jianshan was a good girl and to remind Li Nian that she could seize the opportunity, but he obviously didn't mean that. Ren was such a sensible person that he naturally wouldn't say much.

Sawamura obviously felt the same way, looking at Li Nian with disdain, thinking: "Besides this colleague Isayama-senpai, whether it's Kasumigaoka-senpai or the other one with a vicious mouth and a dark heart, Li Nian doesn't think that his friendship with him is pure between a man and a woman, does he? There are so many good matches within reach, yet you still clamor about wanting to be single all day long. You deserve what you want. Can a man who doesn't take the initiative wait for other girls to lower their face and chase him like the protagonist in a light novel? You can just be single happily for the rest of your life."

Completely unaware that people were thinking that about him, Li Nian turned to Machida and said, "Now that Ms. Machida knows that I'm working as an exorcist on the side, what do the library think of this? For example, do they think that authors shouldn't work part-time?"

"Of course not." Ms. Machida smiled and shook her head: "Rather, we encourage authors to write books as a part-time job, but on the other hand, they must have a full-time job to ensure their living."

"That's right. After all, writing novels is a dead end. It's really hard to rely on it to make a living." Li Nian sighed.

"...Although it is a fact, I, as an editor, will definitely not admit it. Moreover, for others, they often do not have the ability and opportunity, so they have to make insurance preparations. Teacher Muzi, don't think so. You have a great opportunity now, so you have to work harder on your writing. After seeing the state of your colleague just now, I am really worried that you will be so busy with the work of an exorcist that you will not have the energy to write."

"Don't worry. Isayama is an exorcist under the Onmyoji Bureau, and I am an independent exorcist without a formal organization. I am not that busy, but I will give priority to the commissions from the Onmyoji Bureau. If there is a conflict with the library's schedule, I will deal with that matter first. I have to tell you here, Ms. Machida."

"...That situation is indeed very tricky. If possible, I hope you can arrange your time and schedule to avoid conflicts."

"I can't arrange it. The commissions from the Yin-Yang Department don't have a fixed time frame, and events often come suddenly. If I'm asked to go, I have to leave immediately."

"Is that so... That can't be helped. I understand." Machida had no choice but to understand. Everyone knew that the commissions related to spiritual disasters were of course the more important party, but he still smiled and warned: "I will pay attention to this when arranging activities such as book signings that require you, Mr. Muzi, to appear. However, there is actually no reason for the library to cater to your other work. Please bear the responsibility for any problems that arise at that time."

"Yes, it's my duty." Li Nian did not try to get any preferential treatment for this, nor did he expect that as an exorcist he should be served like a master. He just made it clear with Machida and was ready to take on the responsibilities.

Ms. Machida, who noticed this, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "...But the author's job is only to write. As long as you, Mr. Muzi, finish writing in your spare time, that's fine."

"That's no problem."

"The answer is as reassuring as ever... I would like to make a presumptuous request to such a reassuring and excellent teacher Muzi." Machida suddenly said.

An impertinent request?

Li Nian was stunned. He knew that Ms. Machida was still flattering him before making this request. It was probably a rather presumptuous request. So he said, "Please speak?"

"I hope that you can speed up the completion of the second and third volumes of "The Magic Covenant", that is, complete the first phase of the plot arrangement according to the outline."

"…This request is indeed quite presumptuous."

It stands to reason that the first volume is in the publishing stage now, and the sales situation is not known. It is uncertain whether the work of newcomer Li Nian will be cut short due to poor sales. Even if it is successfully published and sells well, and the writing progress can be continued according to the outline, common sense would mean that there is no need to rush Li Nian to complete the second and third volumes.

The publishing speed of light novels is that there is at least two to three months between volumes, but Ms. Machida obviously wanted him to write it right away.

When Sawamura heard this, his eyes lit up. Was the editor forcing Li Nian to speed up the update? Wouldn't that mean he could see the sequel sooner? That was a good thing!

But she immediately realized that this request was a bit excessive. The publication of light novels is not like online writing, where it is not as simple as just writing and publishing. It requires editing, reviewing, proofreading, typesetting, illustrations, printing in a printing factory, and so on. It is not necessary and should not be done so quickly and in a hurry - and for her, the illustrator in charge of the illustrations, it would become a very urgent work assignment... What a bad thing!

But I still want to see the sequel!

Sawamura suddenly became conflicted.
