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

"I can help. But if you expect me to write a script, I definitely can't do it." Li Nian glanced at Ren, with doubt in his eyes: "And after all, shouldn't Senior Ren write the script?"

Obviously, Kanda had also thought of such a simple arrangement, and he nodded in agreement, thinking that this was the way it should be arranged.

After hearing this, Kamiigusa and Mitaka Ren were both stunned. Looking at their expressions, Li Nian also raised his eyebrows.

"Why do you guys look like you haven't thought of this at all?"

"No, but this is your story..." Kamiigusa seemed panicked.

"Yes, it's my story, I'm the original author, and then what?" Li Nian pointed at Mitaka Jin and said, "Do I have to do the script adaptation? Can't we let a professional do it?"

"But, Ren..."

Kamiigusa looked at Mitaka Jin, and there was a rare look of evasion and hesitation in his eyes.

When Li Nian saw her expression, he suddenly understood why such a simple arrangement would appear in the blind spot of these two people's thinking.

Kamiigusa doesn't seem to want Mitaka Jin to write the script for her story. She... doesn't seem to believe in Mitaka Jin's ability.

And senior Ren didn't have enough confidence...Now that Ren saw Kamiigusa's attitude, he naturally realized what his childhood sweetheart was thinking. A gloomy look flashed across his eyes, but he smiled as if nothing had happened and said.

"I don't have the writing talent as good as you, Newcomer-kun. Since it's your own work, then you are undoubtedly the most suitable person to adapt it into a script. In fact, writing a script is not that difficult. It undoubtedly has something in common with writing a novel. I believe you can do well under Misaki's guidance."

Li Nian stared at Mitaka Ren in silence for a while before slowly saying, "Senior Ren, you should be more confident."

The corner of Ren's mouth twitched as he maintained his smile.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Li Nian turned to Shangjingcao and made the final conclusion impatiently.

"It's such a hassle. If you want me to help with other things, that's another matter. But I don't know how to write this script, and I don't plan to learn how to write it. In short, my manuscript is here. Do you want to make an animation? Sure. You two can do whatever you want."

Chapter 163: Pressing Forward Step by Step

"But……"

Perhaps he had never thought about working on the script before, and now he suddenly felt like a cauldron was dropped on his head. Ren showed a rare expression of being at a loss, and so did Kamiigusa.

In fact, although Li Nian was indeed too lazy to take on the script work, on the other hand, he was not really opposed to assisting Kamiigusa in the animation work. After all, she wanted to use her own story to make an animation. That work was something that Li Nian racked her brains, spent her energy, and spent her time writing. How could she not cherish it? Needless to say, he was looking forward to seeing his own words expressed in the form of pictures.

He had seen the animated shorts made by Kamiigusa and knew that they were amazing works of quality that matched their popularity, so when Kamiigusa wanted to do it, he had no intention of stopping him and simply gave permission. If it were someone else, he, Li Nian, would not have entrusted his story to others so easily.

So when Dangren told Li Nian that Kamiigusa wanted to make an animation based on his story, he made the decision to let them do it...

——Yes, it’s [them], Kamiigusa and Mitaka Jin.

In Li Nian's opinion, these two people were originally a pair, childhood sweethearts, a combination of animation producer and screenwriter. Li Nian never regarded the works produced by Kamiigusa as her own work, but always regarded them as the work of this pair of combination.

"No buts. I just don't understand why you want an outsider like me to take on the screenwriter's job. Can't you two just do it together as usual?"

"Newcomer, you may not understand the importance of screenwriters..."

"Do you think I'm as stupid as that one over there?"

Li Nian pointed at Shiina over there. Kanda was listening to them carefully. After hearing what Li Nian said, he realized that Shiina was busy putting food into his bowl.

"…What are you doing Shiina?"

"Here, Kota, you eat."

"I appreciate your kindness, but why are they all green peppers? You obviously don't want to eat them! It's because of your childish behavior that people call you stupid!"

Ren looked at Shiina like that and smiled helplessly.

"Of course I don't think so, but you've clearly heard me say that before... Are you still confident in letting me write the script for your story?"

"Don't worry, I'm very relieved." Li Nian said confidently: "You are capable, I can see it."

"..."

Even in any work, the screenwriter's talent is obviously not in line with the picture, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it, so the world's praise is focused on Kamiigusa... But one thing is for sure, in that animation, is the ability shown by Jin Mitaka as a screenwriter really so useless?

the answer is negative.

If the script was really worthless, then no matter how strong Kamiigusa's ability was and how well she performed, the animation structure would be limited and she would not be able to produce such a good work and gain such high popularity. In fact, Mitaka Jin's script is quite good and has many remarkable points. If the supporting painting was not so strong, perhaps he would have received a lot of praise.

His brilliance was only overshadowed by the sun-like Kamiigusa. Because of the superior quality of the animations produced by Kamiigusa, people became extremely picky when looking at him. Compared with the perfect Kamiigusa, Mitaka Jin's remarkable performance was not enough, because he still had shortcomings. If he was not matched with Kamiigusa, he might have received an evaluation that his flaws did not outweigh his merits. However, at this time, his shortcomings were inevitably magnified infinitely, and the matching between the script and the animation was problematic, making people feel that "it would definitely be better if the script was changed" and "Misa Kamiigusa was dragged down by this guy."

"Senior Ren, how many years have you been studying scripts?"

Li Nian suddenly asked this.

"…Since junior high school, it's been six years."

"Wow, that's really six years!" Li Nian deliberately made an exaggerated exclamation: "Isn't that impressive? Six years! Six solid years! Such a long period of accumulation, such a long period of training, do you still think that a half-baked screenwriter like me can do it better than you?"

"…But, I'm not good enough to be worthy of Misaki Animation."

Ren finally spoke out his most fundamental concerns in front of everyone.

“Ren!” Ueigusa became anxious and was about to retort: ​​“I have never…”

Ren held out his hand to interrupt her, "Misaki."

At this time, Li Nian restrained his expression and said coldly.

"Oh, so you still have self-awareness. I thought you suddenly forgot what you said again."

In an instant, the air at the dining table became very cold.

It seemed as if the previous praise was just a prelude to this ridicule, which made this sentence particularly sharp.

Kanda, who was stuffing green pepper into Mashiro's mouth, paused and looked over with a frown.

"Student Li Nian, you are going too far."

"It's okay, Kanda, this is the truth." Mitaka stopped laughing and faced Li Nian, narrowing his eyes: "Newcomer-kun, what exactly do you want to say? You might as well say it directly."

"Don't you realize it? Because of this, you have no way out."

Li Nian, who created the cold air himself, didn't care at all. He reached out to add soup to his bowl while speaking: "You're falling behind, but you're not trying hard to catch up. Are you waiting for the gap to widen?"

Mitaka Jin's voice also turned cold.

"You think I'm not chasing?"

"I don't know. Maybe you have it, but I didn't see it and I don't care." Facing his compelling gaze, Li Nian calmly drank a mouthful of soup, exhaled comfortably, put down the bowl, and continued: "I only know that if I really want to catch up, I shouldn't be stupid enough to give up the opportunity in front of me."

Mitaka Hitoshi's expression froze visibly, but Li Nian did not let go of this expression, as he sneered.

"It seems that you didn't remember it. Let me guess what blinded you and made you forget such a simple truth. Are you scared? Tired? Want to give up? Or all three?"

Although he was asking, Li Nian's words confirmed that Mitaka Ren had such an idea, and there was no trace of sarcasm in his eyes when he looked at him.

These three sentences hit Mitaka Jin's heart exactly, causing him to subconsciously clench his fists and grit his teeth, and he was speechless for a moment.

"You are not allowed to bully..."

Kamiigusa jumped up and tried to stand up.

"Ok?"

Li Nian snorted in his throat and glared at him.

What a cold and fierce look it was. Just one look at it made Shang Jingcao feel cold all over. The words were stuck in his throat, his strength disappeared, and he felt like he was frozen in his seat, unable to move.

After glaring back at Kamiigusa, Li Nian looked at Mitaka Jin who had become silent and continued.

"When I look at something so high up, I feel like it's impossible to reach. So even though I'm still working hard, I start to wonder if it's impossible? Is it meaningless? Wouldn't it be better to just give up? This is also what we call human nature."

Chapter 164: The Blame That Cannot Be Shaken Away

A tense atmosphere filled the air, and Li Nian gave people a very imposing feeling at this moment.

Shiina looked back and forth at Mitaka Jin and Li Nian in confusion and tugged at Kanda's clothes.

"Are you angry?"

"do not know……"

The relationship between Ren and Misaki has always been a very sensitive issue in Sakurasou, but Li Nian is now making this issue clear, with many hints and explicit statements in his words. Kanda, who sensed this, no longer dared to speak carelessly.

Kasumigaoka also knew something about the relationship between Kamiigusa and Mitaka Jin. She could hear a lot of things from their conversation and found it very interesting. She watched the scene quietly with curiosity.

"…I think I said too much, and I was seen through. Yes, it's not hard to admit it now. I have always been troubled by the gap in talent between myself and Misaki. I feel that I can never catch up with Misaki, and I feel desperate because of this."

Ren calmly acknowledged everything Li Nian said.

Kamiigusa stared at her childhood sweetheart in a daze, until Mitaka Jin spoke it out clearly, she finally understood what he had been thinking all along.

"Ren...are you feeling so miserable because of what happened to me?"

"It's painful, of course." Ren smiled at her, then changed the subject and his tone suddenly became tough. "But I'm not going to give up yet."

Li Nian narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask.

"How to say?"

"I've been through this for six years. I can't bear to give up halfway and let all my previous efforts go to waste. I can't make such a cruel decision." Jin looked into Kamiigusa's eyes and said seriously: "Besides, I also want to become a scriptwriter worthy of Kamiigusa Misaki."

These words come from the heart.

It's human nature to feel tired, afraid, in pain, self-doubt, and self-denial - so no matter who you are, you endure all of this and move forward. You have persisted for six years, so how could you be easily defeated by just two or three words from Li Nian?

“Ren!” Ueigusa suddenly became excited and laughed happily: “I knew you were a man of integrity!”

Li Nian shrugged. He had been pretending to be sullen and saying harsh words just to force Ren to tell the truth.

But his goal had not yet been achieved, so he still refused to let go. He continued to speak slowly.

"Anyone can do what they say, but if you really have backbone, you should show it in your actions."

"...I never thought that there would be a day when I would be lectured harshly by my juniors."

Li Nian snorted indifferently. If one really considered his mental age, calling this boy a senior was already a compliment to him, so he continued to ask.

"So you know what to do now?"

"...You're right. I'm really stupid for not getting the point after hearing all this." Ren said with a serious expression, lowering his head: "Misaki, and Li Nian, please leave the script to me to complete. I promise to do my best to meet your expectations and hand in a satisfactory answer."

"Of course!" Misaki nodded hurriedly.

"That's right." Li Nian was waiting for this sentence, and then he smiled: "What I have learned and known in the past six years will not betray you. I believe in your ability as a scriptwriter. As I said, I am very relieved to leave it to you."

After saying this, Mitaka Jin felt much better. He raised his head and a smile appeared on his face that was truly from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you."

Having achieved his goal, Li Nian did not forget to apologize to Mitaka Ren with a smile for his previous verbal offense.

"No, I should say sorry. I'm sorry for saying those harsh words before. I just felt that the time had come when I had to provoke you, Senior Ren, because I felt that if I didn't say it, I would really need to write a script."

"…So you're actually still afraid of trouble, right?"

"How is that possible?" Li Nian would not admit it, "Isn't this to give you, Senior Ren, a chance?"

Without waiting for Ren to say anything else, Li Nian raised the cup filled with drink.

"Well, to celebrate the launch of the animation project that I, Kamiigusa-san, and Jin-san are working on together..."

"...Ah, Li Nian, do you remember what you said before?"

"… and the comic adaptations of Kasumigaoka and Shiina-san have been finalized! Cheers."

While easily bringing back the lively atmosphere, Li Nian, thinking that the blame had finally been completely passed on, smiled with relief.

But the next day...

"Come and help me write the script! Teacher Li Nian!"

"..."

Looking at An Yi, who was leaning forward with his hands on the table and looking at him with burning eyes, Li Nian felt a headache again.

"Why did you start doing this evil?"

"also?"

"No... nothing, I mean you suddenly had some crazy idea again."

"You asked the right question! Remember when I told you I wanted to make a game?"

"Wasn't that topic from hundreds of years ago already killed?"
