"What about me?" Kato asked curiously.
"Kato is a well-proportioned type." Li Nian summarized and said to Sawamura: "So, isn't this a complete collection of all types?"
After kicking Amii hard several times, Sawamura had to accept the fact that he was categorized as a petite girl. He glanced at the people in the room and realized that it was just as Li Nian said, there were several top models here including himself, and they did include all kinds of types, tall or short, fat or thin, and even those with strong body. At this time, his eyes rolled around, thinking that it might not be a bad idea to ask these people to be models.
Wu Geng was very unhappy and said: "Did you miss something?", while trying to strike a few poses to show off her figure.
Li Nian glanced over and added, "Oh, there's also a skinny one, well, the kind that doesn't matter."
Wu Geng subconsciously wanted to grab something nearby and throw it over. What he grabbed was the filming equipment, but Ryunosuke quickly stopped him: "Don't throw that!" He could only grit his teeth and hold back his kirin arm. Suddenly, he saw Isayama sitting up from the coffin behind Li Nian. He was stunned for a moment, then said coldly: "Beat him, senior sister, count me in as well."
Li Nian turned around and saw Jianshan standing in front of him with his hands rubbed, he thought for a moment and said something.
"Can you please stop hitting my face?"
"No, because I have tolerated you for a long time!"
He was filled with resentment that Li Nian's previous arbitrary behavior had caused him a lot of unnecessary trouble and busy work tasks.
And today he was beaten up, put in a coffin and put flowers on it to mock him, and then a huge number of practice tasks were arranged for him, ruining his wonderful rest day.
Adding all these new and old grudges to the mix, as well as the resentment from several female friends, Isayama was so furious that he punched without mercy.
First, a punch to the abdomen hit Li Nian's stomach, then an uppercut to the chin that made the man bend over in pain, followed by a roundhouse kick at Li Nian's hateful face that told her not to hit him. This combo made Li Nian fly backwards like a propeller and crash into the pillar next to him. His whole body was embedded in it with a loud roar. His head tilted and he lost consciousness.
Kanda was shaking all over as he watched, he was truly frightened by Isayama's ferocious attack.
Ren and Anyi just shook their heads and sighed, thinking that Li Nian really deserved it. Even Kato showed no mercy and just looked at her expressionlessly.
Misaki was cheering for Isayama's wonderful combo, and several girls who were seriously offended by Li Nian were applauding.
Jianshan, who had knocked Li Nian away with great force, rubbed his aching fist, let out a sigh of relief, and felt much better.
But Jianshan knew that the man was standing still on purpose to let her hit him. Li Nian had thick skin and it was difficult to break his defense. She punched him with all her strength, which probably only hurt him. It was impossible to make Li Nian lose consciousness. She snorted at the guy who was pretending to be dead and said unhappily, "Do you want me to draw my sword and chop you before you are willing to come down?"
Li Nian opened his eyes, exerted a little strength, pulled himself out of the stone pillar, and fell to the ground. He touched his painful face and grimaced, while brushing the dust off his back, he said, "If you're not satisfied, you can chop me twice."
"Get lost. You won't feel relieved until you kill me...Cook for me. I'm hungry. You have to feed the animals grass first if you want them to run. Eat at noon and do anything in the afternoon." After saying that, Jianshan turned around angrily and lay back in the coffin. She hadn't fully recovered yet, so she was anxious to come out and beat Li Nian up to vent the anger that was pent up in her chest.
Chapter 399: Using this as a guide, we gather talented people to work together
"Okay, I'll just roll away... It's time for lunch now, I'll go out and prepare. Don't worry, even if I leave this space, it will be stable, and this temple won't suddenly disintegrate or explode..."
Kanda heard the hidden meaning and sweat broke out on his forehead: "You mean there is this possibility?!"
"...I think dying by explosion wouldn't be too painful. That's great, Kanda. Life can disappear like fireworks. It sounds romantic."
"Oh, fireworks! Explosions! I love it!" Misaki cheered, "I really want to see it."
"Senior, don't you realize that we are the ones being set off by the fireworks?!"
"I'm just kidding. Don't worry, it won't explode." Li Nian was just scaring Kanda for fun.
The latter angrily complained: "Please don't say such horrible things that people will take seriously!"
Having said that, it's not like he can just leave everyone here without worry. After all, there's an idiot who likes to play free fall. Li Nian called out to Isayama and said, "Then, I'll hand over the control of the entire formation to you, Isayama. Keep an eye on the situation, especially pay attention to Senior Igusa."
"What? Don't talk like I'm an elementary school student who likes to cause trouble for others everywhere." Kamiigusa pouted in dissatisfaction.
"In a sense, you are worse than an elementary school student." No matter how cute her movements looked, Li Nian would not mistake the alien nature under that skin.
Isayama, who was recovering her HP in the coffin and seemed to feel a series of green numbers with plus signs floating above her head, was actually concentrating on regulating her breathing. She needed to recover her MP by herself. She was still angry, and after hearing Li Nian's call, she responded impatiently with a "yes".
Suddenly, the entire temple was shining brightly. All kinds of runes engraved on every corner of the temple, the floor, ceiling, murals, and stone pillars shone brightly, and the magic spells previously attached to Jianshan began to work - it was Li Nian who gave Jianshan the authority to control the entire magic circle in this way.
Jianshan, who is covered and protected by the magic circle, is already a part of the formation. In terms of spiritual existence, he is one with the temple which is the core of the formation, so the process of bestowing is not difficult.
Then, Jianshan felt that he had established a mysterious connection with this temple and the five array points in the gray-white city below the temple that were used to dredge the spiritual veins.
A lot of information trickled into her mind, emerging in her thoughts bit by bit.
The reason why it was like a trickle rather than a torrent was of course the result of Li Nian's deliberate control, because he had tasted the bitter fruit of having a large amount of information instilled into his mind at the same time, which was a severe pain that felt like the brain exploding.
Even though he was trying to control it, Isayama still felt a sharp pain in his head when the information flowed into his mind, which caught him off guard.
This annoyed her even more, and she immediately opened her eyes and glared at Li Nian, not realizing that this was the result of Li Nian slowing down the speed of granting control of the technique. The latter could only shrug innocently, but this was also a side effect that she had told Isayama about before, so she was unhappy for a moment, and then she became curious about the information that flowed into her mind, and began to seriously experience and learn the knowledge contained therein.
Isayama looks like a sporty beauty. As an exorcist, she fights in close combat by wielding a spiritual sword. But this does not mean that Isayama is really a rough guy. She is not good at learning the basic theoretical knowledge of a magician. On the contrary, her knowledge reserve is already very good among exorcists.
Although she is definitely not as dedicated to research as Dalian Temple Suzuka, and the breadth and depth of her knowledge accumulation even allowed her to pass the national first-level exorcist examination at the age of a teenager, Isayama, as a person born in an exorcist family, has received a comprehensive and solid education since childhood. She not only learned neat swordsmanship, but she is also not really an Amazon warrior with muscles growing into her brain. On the contrary, she is very smart and learns things quickly. Over a long period of time, her knowledge system has been very solid and complete, and she has learned a lot of various spells.
Because of this, her combat ability is particularly strong.
Isayama has always complained about the busy work, but in an industry where strength is paramount, not everyone is worthy of being treated like a beast of burden. Only those with the ability can handle the corresponding dangerous tasks. Isayama's strength can be said to be that of an elite-level exorcist in the Onmyoji Bureau, so he is given various important tasks. Moreover, at a young age, he has a promising future and a lot of room for growth. It is only a matter of time before she becomes a national-level exorcist. This is why Dalianji Suzuka is very optimistic about her.
It's just that Isayama's inclination in being cultivated by her parents and her own willingness to work hard are both towards practical aspects. Her goal is not to become a researcher, but to be more active at the front line of spiritual disaster sites. Too much time is spent on performing tasks, and she also has to carry out her teenage studies on weekdays, which inevitably reduces the time for learning spells and practicing. Otherwise, if Isayama could learn more and hone her martial arts, she would be recognized by several first-level exorcists. By being recommended by several first-level exorcists, she would be promoted to the same level as Dalianji Suzuka, and would be respectfully called "Sama Isayama" by everyone.
All in all, Isayama is undoubtedly an excellent wizard. Now in the process of taking over the formation, he receives all kinds of information about the techniques. Isayama can quickly understand the complex knowledge, smoothly grasp the overall picture of the techniques, and further master them.
It was mainly information about the various spells that supported the operation of the formation, which allowed her to quickly understand that she had established a direct connection with the six cores of the formation, and could further control the spiritual power flowing in the entire formation through these array eyes. Jianshan clearly felt how huge that power was, and was shocked by it, but soon became eager to try.
She had always known that this was the most orthodox and powerful way for a wizard to fight, that is, to stand on a prepared ritual field, call upon a large amount of spiritual power from the earth and the sky, use various spiritual tools and pre-written rituals, cast various spells, use powerful firepower, and defeat the enemy gorgeously and elegantly.
But she never had the chance to actually experience it. Although she had learned relevant knowledge about the formation and had a rough idea of some means of advance preparation, in the actual execution of the mission, she was hurriedly called to various parts of the country to deal with emergencies, and there was basically no room for advance preparation for such a large-scale battle.
Now Li Nian handed over the ritual venue that he had prepared himself to her, and gathered all the spiritual power in the huge space for her to use. It was the first time that she mastered such a huge power, which made her realize how small the mana power that could be stored in her body was. A person is just a grain of sand in the vast ocean of heaven and earth. It seemed that all her previous efforts to refine the surrounding spiritual energy to replenish the mana power in her body had become a joke.
"Oh oh oh oh oh! I feel full of power!" Isayama jumped out of the coffin at once. Why did she need to slowly recover her MP? There was already a huge amount of power gathering from all directions and pouring into her body. At this moment, her whole body was lifted up by a visible stream of light, floating in the air like a goddess. Invisible power was whistling around her, blowing her clothes and long hair. Isayama shouted excitedly: "I feel so strong in this state! A mere steel straight man can be crushed to death with one hand! It was you who said you wanted to fight me in this state, wait for me to change the offensive and give you a good beating, Li!"
Li Nian rolled her eyes: "Heh."
Everyone had experienced too many shocks and was too lazy to be surprised by such a small thing. They were all watching curiously as if they were watching a scenery. However, Gogen was so excited to see Isayama's god-like posture that he pulled Li Nian's clothes hard and asked, "What is that? Is the female Amazon warrior awakening a Super Saiyan? Or is the magical girl going to transform?"
"She just got so powerful that she became arrogant. She thought that she could use it freely... It's okay. I will teach her later that only limited power that can be used at will is the most meaningful... You guys can play around for now. I'm going to cook. I'll call you when it's done."
Li Nian waved his hand, turned around, and disappeared into the air. He had left Feng Jue and returned to Sakurasou to prepare lunch for everyone.
His temporary departure seemed to take away a weight that was permeating the air.
Although from beginning to end, Li Nian maintained his usual casual and easy-going attitude, chatting and laughing with everyone in a friendly manner without putting on airs, he had already demonstrated his powerful strength as an exorcist. The man, who had just experienced a battle and had blood on his clothes, did have an inexplicable sense of tension and oppression that he had never had before.
Everyone felt relieved, but also a little lost.
Kanda let out a long sigh: "Student Li Nian is really a big shot..."
Ren sighed, "Yeah, when this person leaves, it's like losing the backbone of the team."
"Because he is the backbone that brings all of you here together...but his departure right now will not have any impact on your work at hand. The videos left by him and Senior Isayama are extremely valuable materials and are indeed of great reference value. Instead of sighing there, you might as well quickly understand that everything this guy has done with all his heart is to help you do your job better. Hurry up and get into the corresponding working state, so as not to let down the efforts of others." Ryunosuke said coldly. He had not stopped the work in his hands during this period. While others were startled, he was the only one who was busy operating the computer and never forgot the purpose of his coming here.
"That's true." Ren turned and walked towards Misaki, whose attention shifted and focused quickly. At this time, she returned to carefully observing the video recording of the battle between Li Nian and Isayama, drawing various things with her hands.
For animation production, the actual combat videos of Li Nian and Isayama are of extraordinary significance. Even though the official demonstration of the battle between "Demon King and God" has not yet been carried out, all the details they showed in the casual battles are still of great reference value.
Animation is a smooth image created by drawing one frame at a time. A turn, punch, kick, jump, etc., need to be split into more than a dozen original drawings. It is extremely difficult to ensure the beauty, strength, smoothness and authenticity of the dynamics. It is extremely difficult to draw with only one person's imagination. Naturally, it is necessary to observe the human body movements in reality. However, it is easy to find information for a single action, but how about a whole fight with countless actions? Where can we find complete video materials?
Some artists look for inspiration from movies, but even so it is difficult to find a complete clip that fits the theme of the shot they want to paint. They need to piece together various clips to design the entire fight scene. The biggest difficulty of a fight scene is the action design of this entire segment, which places extremely high demands on the artist's own skills. He must not only be able to paint, but also be able to think.
In this regard, if there are professionals to provide guidance and demonstrations, it will certainly save a lot of trouble and be more likely to design excellent fight scenes. This is the significance of the existence of martial arts instructors... As a martial arts instructor, Li Nian has provided a very complete battle video through actual combat with Isayama. This is the kind of complete video material that is extremely difficult to find.
This is a real-life demonstration of two exorcists who are proficient in various magic spells and have a solid foundation in martial arts.
It's real blades colliding violently, creating sparks, and hitting each other, leaving holes and wounds. The two sides of the battle are agile and leaping, accompanied by streams of light... Every fight between them is full of power and logic. It's a full-scale battle between two excellent fighters in reality. It's shocking just to watch. Perhaps by directly transferring it from a fixed perspective, an animated fight scene with extremely visually shocking effects can be produced.
With videos like this as reference, the difficulty of producing the fighting scenes dropped sharply... but it still didn't become a simple matter. It was just battle images recorded by three cameras. What kind of clips should be captured, how to integrate them into one, what kind of artistic effects should be added, and how to further express it in the form of animation... these were things that the animator Misaki needed to think about - at this time, of course, the genius animator's head was already full of various ideas, and the various drafts he drew were proof of that.
Ren was not worried at all that his childhood friend would not be able to grasp the details of the battle between Li Nian and Isayama. Instead, he knew that the key was to restrain her unrestrained and undecided thoughts. He reminded her, "Misaki, don't rush to draw the storyboard. You should think about how to instruct them in the official performance later based on their performance. I feel that Li Nian and Isayama should be able to perform a better and more complete video, and they need our help."
Misaki stopped painting, paused the video she was watching, and looked up blankly. Ren took out his own script and read it. He said, "We can let the two of them go through the entire process of the animation script directly."
He hadn't figured out how to make the changes yet, when Kasumigaoka came over. She had already discussed the details of the script with Mitaka Jin before, and now she had a new inspiration, so she said directly: "I have some ideas, and I think I can change a few places and add a few touches to your script to make the whole plot more ups and downs."
Chapter 400: Communication among the Same Kind
After saying that, Kasumigaoka realized that as an outsider, she had said it so bluntly, and it was a bit impolite to want to change someone else's script, so she added: "Of course, I just made some suggestions. I just think that changing a few lines can make the script more appropriate. You can just accept it selectively, Mitaka."
"Ahahaha, I will of course accept the guidance of that talented girl from Sobu High School with trepidation and humility. Just go ahead, senior."
"...Don't use your sweet talk to attract women on me. If you want to discuss the script, then discuss it seriously. If you think my opinion is good, then it's good. If you think it's bad, then it's bad."
Kasumigaoka said calmly without any hesitation.
This was obviously different from her enthusiasm for Li Nian. The cold and different treatment she received made Mitaka Ren smile bitterly and shrug his shoulders. In fact, he didn't mean to flatter her and was saying it seriously.
Kasumigaoka had discussed this with Ren before, and she had offered several suggestions for optimizing the script, which Ren found very inspiring and helpful. He also knew that this famous talented girl in the third year of Sobu High School was a professional writer, had written scripts for the drama club's plays, and had contributed to a very successful performance, and that she was a person with a deep literary foundation.
She said she wanted to revise the script, and Ren naturally would not object - although there are people in the world who are proud of their talents and don't like others to judge their writings, but the premise of showing such arrogance is talent. Ren, who has been compared with his childhood sweetheart and criticized many times, certainly won't be arrogant. When it comes to writing, he is used to being hit, and even when facing the junior Li Nian, he always has an attitude of humbly seeking advice. In fact, when discussing writing with Li Nian, the man whose story was favored by Misaki really talked about the doorway, which made Mitaka Ren feel that he benefited a lot. Now he already feels that any so-called writer picked at random may be more talented than himself.
So he just handed over the script and asked Kasumigaoka to give his opinions based on it.
Kasumigaoka had many feelings when watching the fight between Li Nian and Isayama. At the moment, he mainly felt that a warrior should be more resolute and decisive. He thought that some lines were a bit redundant and needed to be deleted, and some lines were a bit pretentious and needed to be modified.
After Ren modified the corresponding parts according to her instructions, the demon king indeed had fewer lines and changed his words and actions, which made his distinct and decisive character more prominent.
Misaki, after being told by Ren, stopped her hasty thoughts of drawing and began to think about how to make Li Nian and Isayama's performance more "realistic". At this moment, she was not an animation production worker, but a film director! When she started thinking about this, she immediately thought of some things that Li Nian needed to prepare further, such as such a large temple should not be empty with only two people. The devil can come to meet the gods alone, but the gods should not be without servants and yes-men of the gods. Wouldn't it seem that this god has no face at all without some subordinates? All kinds of ideas began to ferment in her wonderful brain...
The animation production team here entered into a state of busy discussion, taking action based on the various inspirations they had received from watching the battle before, trying to absorb the vague insights and organize them into tangible data to contribute to the animation production. Kato watched silently on the side, and feeling that he could not help much, he ran behind Ryunosuke to observe how the programmer operated the computer.
At this time, Ryunosuke was trying to use software to analyze the movement trajectories of the two soldiers in the video. He wanted to build a 3D model and was busy typing on the keyboard.
On the other side, Shiina was not idle either. She wanted to draw the moment of the confrontation between Li Nian and Isayama before continuing. In such a short period of time, after working intermittently, a painting that felt excellent was almost taking shape in her hands. Sawamura, contrary to her usual behavior, did not make a noise. He stood beside Shiina and watched her painting quietly.
As expected of Shiina, he drew with a simple pencil, and the lines were steady, with almost no hesitation or mistakes in the whole process. Even without coloring, he achieved a wonderful sense of heaviness in the treatment of shadows. The two people who were confronting each other in the end appeared lifelike, with detailed expressions, and vivid, which reminded Sawamura of the scene he actually saw, and it was indeed the same charm that the two people had shown in reality at that time.
In addition, there is an inexplicable ethereal beauty, which is the characteristic of the artist Shiina Mashiro's paintings. It's okay for her to just paint in the art club, but I really don't know how she can express this feeling with just a pencil.
Being in the same art club, Sawamura has watched Shiina paint many times and never gets tired of it. The skills displayed by this painter in the painting process are terrifying and he is truly a world-class painter.
In the blink of an eye, Shiina had put down the last stroke and completed the painting. He looked at it for a while, then suddenly turned around and handed it to Sawamura.
"Want it?"
The work that had just been completed was suddenly handed to her, and she was asked if she wanted it. The hand that was stretched out was holding the scroll. It was obvious that the child was serious about what she said. If Sawamura agreed, she would really give her the excellent result that she had completed with great concentration.
Sawamura was stunned, realizing that he was staring at Shiina's painting and was misunderstood as wanting her painting, so he quickly shook his head.
"No, no, no, I don't have that idea."
An Yi, who was standing next to him, was also looking at Shiina's painting. She was attracted by the high degree of completion. When she heard what Shiina said, she was delighted and asked tentatively, "Is it okay to give the painting to someone else?"
"Yeah." Shiina nodded gently: "If you don't show your paintings to others, there is no point."
"If Na Yinglili doesn't want it, I will! Oh no! I'll buy it!" An Yi liked the painting more and more. It was a painting by Shiina Mashiro, and it was very finished. The key point was that it was a scene of the confrontation between Li Nian and Isayama. The painting was very vivid. Her brothers were really handsome. An Yi felt that it was of great collection value and really wanted to buy it home and frame it.
"For you."
"You really don't want to take money? Then I'll accept it without hesitation." An Yi wiped his hands on his pants with a happy expression and took the painting solemnly.
Seeing him like that, Sawamura suddenly felt a little regretful, because when she came to her senses, she actually had the same idea as Amaki, and also felt that the painting was worth collecting... But now that Amaki had seized the opportunity to snatch it away, there was nothing she could do. She could only kick this guy in hatred. The latter knew that she regretted it, and winked at her smugly. Sawamura was so angry that she didn't want to shake off Amaki, so she turned to look at Shiina and found that she was staring at him blankly.
This was not the first time that she was stared at. Rizemura from the Art Club had seen this girl ignore the noise around her and stare at something with curiosity. She was often stared at, but now that their eyes were meeting, it felt like a kind of communication was established between them.
Although Sawamura has known Shiina for a long time, as they are in the same art club and often see each other during club activities, in reality, Sawamura and Shiina only maintain a relationship that is warm on the surface but not very close in reality, just like she pretends to be a good girl to treat other classmates... no, it can even be said that Sawamura deliberately avoids this child.
Shiina Mashiro's talent is so dazzling that it scares away people who are working on the same path.
There weren't any more people around her except the group from Sakurasou. In the art club, Shiina was treated as a senior with extraordinary abilities and a cute mascot by the other members. Everyone would watch her paint and marvel at her, and would also feed her all kinds of snacks and scream with joy when they saw this child eating like a hamster.
But everyone tacitly did not take the next step to approach her and become like Shiina's friend...
Sawamura could understand their thoughts and knew that they felt that they did not have the ability to keep up with this artist. Sawamura was avoiding Shiina for the same reason. Even though he and Shiina were hailed as the double aces of art, Sawamura did not feel that he was really qualified to stand next to Shiina Mashiro. She was just a commercial artist, while this guy was a world-class artist.
I just don't know why I could be so depressed as to draw comics...
Now being stared at by this child, Sawamura hesitated for a moment, and then she did as Amai had said before, she had many insights when watching the battles of the exorcists, and after looking at Shiina's paintings, she always felt that this child had some answers she wanted, so she asked the questions she had always wanted to ask on a whim.
"How did Shiina-san draw that...ethereal feeling?"
As soon as he asked this question, Sawamura regretted it. Being ethereal was someone else's artistic style, and this innocent child was not the type who could speak in a systematic language to instruct others...
When asked this question, Shiina thought about it and pointed to a certain place on the painting he had just created in Aki's hand.
It turned out to be a few thin and light lines, expressing the feeling that there was wind blowing under the corners of the warrior's clothes and beside the blade. Sawamura looked carefully and found that these thin and light lines were everywhere in the painting. When combined with each other, it seemed as if they were flowing across the entire painting. It was like a sharp wind blowing on paper, giving people an ethereal feeling...
Sawamura realized and gained something, and felt vaguely like he had witnessed a mature technique - what the hell, a normal person cannot learn this technique of expressing the flow of wind with just a few lines, it is the use of lines of varying thickness and appropriate curvature in appropriate places, highlighting the magical feeling of a stream-of-consciousness painter.
Sawamura once again realized the strength of Shiina Mashiro's painting ability and smiled bitterly: "I can only say that you are worthy of it."
