Rebirth As a Writer In Britain
Chapter 7 Entered the semi-finals
"Forget it, it doesn't have much to do with me anyway. Let's go back to school first." Kevin thought to himself.
Yes, every time the school publishes news, either a classmate has done a good deed, or Augustine published an article in a newspaper. He is no stranger to it. So, Kevin detoured back to the classroom directly.
The atmosphere of the University of Edinburgh is relatively free, which is also a characteristic of British universities. There are not too many constraints here, and students can be much more free. Because of this, Kevin was free to come and go to and from the school at will.
But today was class teacher Collison's class again, so he decided to go back to the classroom to attend the class. You know, no teacher is willing to help him except Collison.
Not long after Kevin took his seat, Collison walked into the classroom with a smile on his face. It seems that there should be a happy event.
"I want to tell you the good news. The quota for the semi-finals of this year's London Literary Competition has come out. There is only one spot for the semi-finals in Edinburgh, and this spot is located in our University of Edinburgh. Can you guess who it is?" Collison said Said it with a smile.
"Undoubtedly, it must be Augustine."
"Yeah, I also think it's Augustine. After all, in Edinburgh, only Augustine has such strength."
"A few days ago, his father also said that Augustine has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child."
All the students thought in their hearts that this place must be Augustine. After all, Augustine has published articles in magazines and newspapers and has a certain strength. But they forgot that in addition to Augustine participating in this literary competition, there was also a person named Kevin who also participated.
Augustine also had a smile on his face at this time. He has never missed any literary competitions since he was a child, so he believes this time is no exception.
"Augustin, congratulations. This kind of competition is a duel between geniuses and geniuses, but you have entered the rematch. I believe you will become a great writer."
"Yes, Augustine, don't you not know us by then."
Linda smiled slightly when she heard these praises. Maybe she was thinking in her heart: finally found her own happiness.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Collison didn't want to play tricks anymore. He hurriedly said: "Everyone, this person is not Augustine, but Kevin. Dear Kevin, I have to admire you. In half an hour, you can write an article that impresses the judges. You know, this is something ordinary people can’t do.”
As soon as these words came out, the classroom suddenly fell silent. Augustine's face was also black for an instant, and then he lowered his face slightly.
Kevin had also expected this result a long time ago, and only now did he know what the students from other classes were watching when he passed the bulletin board. Perhaps, it was because he entered the semi-finals.
"What? Dear Mr. Collison, you said that Kevin has qualified for the rematch?" As Kevin's best friend, Kovani couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, you heard it right. Kevin is the only person in Edinburgh who can participate in the semi-finals, and he has won glory for our University of Edinburgh. Perhaps we should give him applause."
After finishing speaking, Collison took the lead in applauding, and then there was warm applause in the classroom.
"It's incredible, Kevin, you exceeded our expectations."
"Yeah, we didn't expect you to have such talent.
And your work is still done in the last half hour. "
"Kevin, tell me, at that moment, were you possessed by God?"
The classmates didn't dislike Kevin at all, they just didn't like his literary ability. But he didn't expect that he was the only one who could win the semi-finals of the London Literature Competition, which made everyone admire his talent instantly.
"Yeah, Kevin, I'm also curious about how you managed to finish an article that impresses the tricky judges in half an hour." Collison also asked curiously.
For a moment, all eyes were on Kevin. Oh, except Augustine. Augustine wanted to find a hole to get in at this time.
"It's nothing, I just write casually. In the future, I think there will be more works that touch people's hearts." Kevin said neither humble nor humble.
"Write it casually?" The four words made everyone confused. In such a genius-type competition, he, who can't usually write activity summaries well, unexpectedly entered the semi-finals by writing casually. It's just amazing.
The students' views on Kevin couldn't help but take a 360-degree turn. Yes, this is the most advanced literary competition in the UK, and being able to enter the semi-finals is already a representative of ability and talent. You must know that Kevin was the only one who entered Edinburgh.
Especially Kovani, who walked closest to Kevin, but didn't realize that Kevin had such a literary level. Even a few days ago, he told Kevin to give up some ideas.
"Kevin, you are doing well. Now you are the pride of our University of Edinburgh. Damn, those noble princesses are probably here to throw themselves into your arms."
Kovani said this on purpose to Augustine and Linda, who told Linda to laugh at Kevin as a poor man with no future in front of so many people.
"Thank you, my best partner." Kevin thanked.
Sure enough, for a while, Kevin's name was also spread in the University of Edinburgh. The principal even specially asked someone to make a banner with a note saying "Warmly celebrate Kevin's qualification for the semi-finals of the London Literature Competition".
This makes those who despise Kevin can't help but be surprised. They were also thinking deeply in their hearts: "Perhaps their own views were wrong at the beginning. The person who can qualify for the semi-finals of this literature competition is definitely not a waste."
Kevin heard the news that he had entered the semi-finals, although he was not too surprised. But I am still very happy in my heart.
Of course, the main reason is that he was just ridiculed by Zela's editor that it was a miracle that he could enter the semi-finals.
At this time, Kevin smiled in his heart without saying a word. Perhaps, the gods reborn him here just to make him perform miracles.
After the semi-final quota is announced, Kevin will rush to London to participate in the semi-final within three days. Although the time was tight, it was specially requested by the organizer. What they need is a talented writer who can write good articles all the time. Not the kind of author who thinks for decades before writing a kitschy work.
Therefore, Kevin had to fly to London after some preparations, and then went to the organizer to report. Fortunately, the round-trip expenses this time, including food, lodging and transportation, are all covered by the organizer, and the poor Kevin doesn't need to worry about funding.
Besides, the principal was happy when he heard that the only place in Edinburgh was located at the University of Edinburgh, and he also made a promise that the school could sponsor Kevin for everything in this rematch.
Anyway, for a while, Kevin became the object of discussion at the University of Edinburgh. Maybe because of embarrassment, Linda and Augustine both asked for leave during this period.
In Deyun's editorial room, editor Zela changed into a pink smock today. The goal of last season was not achieved, she silently encouraged herself in her heart, and must discover more good works in this season.
As usual, she picked up a copy of the "Edinburgh Evening News" and read it, and suddenly a striking headline caught his eyes——"The Sixth London Literary Competition Semifinal List Announced".
As a literary editor, she will naturally pay attention to literary matters all the time, especially this kind of large-scale literary competition. She will never miss it.
"The results of the rematch have been announced so soon? Let me see if any literary geniuses from Edinburgh have entered the rematch list. Oh, I think there must be Augustine's son, after all, a tiger father has no dogs."
Zela couldn't wait to open the newspaper, and then carefully looked at the rematch list.
Edinburgh, Kevin Stephen, University of Edinburgh.
"Why is this name so familiar?"
After seeing Kevin's name, Zela suddenly remembered something, and threw the newspaper aside.
"Hmph! Even if you enter the rematch, you may not be the champion. You know, the rematch is the time to show your strength." Zela said in his heart.
Zela didn't believe her own judgment. Although she hadn't read Kevin's "Jane Eyre", she already knew from the name of the book that it was nothing new. It is not easy for a young man with no new ideas to win the championship in the rematch.
After calming down, Zela continued to review her manuscript.
