Tokyo life starting with painting

"Dongye, you mean you want to come over and take the exam?"

After hearing the reason why Higashinoji came to school, Gohara was a little dumbfounded.

He was not particularly clear about Higashinoji's specific situation, but just by looking at the small newspapers outside that occasionally mentioned the net worth of Higashinoji, a 'genius high school student', he could also understand that Higashinoji's net worth was at least tens of billions of yen.

"Why should I study when I can make so much money like you?"

Houyuanzhong muttered, not quite understanding Higashinoji's situation.

He comes from an ordinary family, and his parents gave him the idea that studying is for academic qualifications, so that he can find a good job and become a middle-class figure in society.

A person like Higashinoji who has already become an ‘upper class figure’ early on still comes to study.

I don’t understand, I don’t understand.

This is just like Hou Yuanzhong can't tell the difference between high-end tea and big bowl of tea.

Regarding Gou Yuanzhong's question, Higashinoji didn't say anything. He just smiled happily and exchanged pleasantries with the other party.

It can be seen that in the past three years, Hou Yuanzhong has had a good relationship with his girlfriend, and they even agreed to attend the same university.

When he said this, Hou Yuanzhong was still a little proud, thinking that his girlfriend was smart, virtuous and well-behaved.

This is definitely a male showing off his girlfriend to another male.

Higashinoji was already past this age, so he just nodded with a smile and said nothing more.

"Then I'll go back to my seat first."

"good."

Gowonaka nodded in response, and then he breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Higashinoji walk back to his seat.

To be honest, when he was talking to Higashinoji just now, he was still a little stressed.

Although he was friends with Higashinoji before, their positions are somewhat different now.

Hou Yuanzhong was of course a little restrained.

But now it seems that Higashinoji still feels the same as before, and he feels very comfortable when talking to him.

but

As expected, the attention is still incomparable to before.

Hou Yuanzhong felt the curious eyes of the students in the class and thought to himself.

It really can't be compared to before.

When Higashinoji first entered school, he caused some discussion because he was quite good-looking. But it only caused discussion for a period of time.

After all, boys and girls of that age will basically discuss it for a while when they see a good-looking freshman enrolling.

But now, most people in the entire class glance at Higashinoji from time to time and whisper to each other.

Some people even coughed to cover up the sound of taking photos on their phones.

This is indeed the center of attention.

There is no comparison with before.

Thinking of this, Houyuanzhong admired Higashinoji again.

When he was painting, Hou Yuanzhong actually felt that it was useless to engage in these illusory things, and it was better to study hard.

If you could really draw results casually, wouldn’t the whole of Japan be drawing?

Then

Higashinoji really finished the painting!

And he even won the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award for his drawing!

You must know that his relationship with Higashinoji is very good.

Why haven't I heard of him having this skill before?

Hou Yuanzhong was a little surprised, but in the end he accepted that this was too novelistic and too TV-like.

Of course, Higashinoji could sense the dazzling gazes from the students in the class, but he didn't feel much. He just sat down on his own and waited for the start of today's Kokuijuku exam.

In fact, the exams for the third year of high school in the North Yi School are not very frequent.

After all, it is already this time, and the school does not want to put too much pressure on students.

Classwork is now over.

This time, in a real sense, the senior high school students took the exam in the North School.

After this time passes, most of the students in the North Free School will go home for tutoring or continue studying in school.

There are no strict rules in Kita Yoijuku.

Therefore, although many eyes were attracted to Higashinoji, there were also many Japanese high school seniors who gathered together to take photos and chattered about something with the junior students.

Some girls in the lower grades were reluctant to let their seniors leave, so they hugged each other and whispered in each other's ears with tears in their eyes.

The content is probably "We should talk on the phone more often in the future", "Don't forget about yourself when you go to college, and get together again when you have time".

In this regard, China is no different from Japan.

Perhaps there is no difference in parting.

"I don't know how Lianghua and her two best friends are doing now."

Two best friends.

This of course refers to Aoi Fujiwara and Yumi Takahashi.

The three of them haven't had any regrets about separation recently. After all, their preferred universities are all in Tokyo, and they can see each other often even after they graduate.

"It's no use thinking so much."

Higashinoji saw the male teacher coming in with the test papers and took out the pencils, erasers and other tools he had sharpened.

He was not used to using mechanical pencils because the tips of mechanical pencils were not as useful as the ones he sharpened himself.

Because each mechanical pencil is the same size and has the same cross-section, the lines are much more rigid than those of a pencil sharpened by hand.

Of course, this is just a habit at best and cannot represent the public.

Higashino held the pencil, but when he looked at the test paper in front of him, he also entered into a long thought.

"Um"

He frowned, groaned, and then

He put down his pencil.

OK, I won’t do it.

Yes.

Just can’t do it.

This is natural when you think about it.

Higashinoji also knew what was going on.

In the past three years, I have either been busy with comics or traditional oil painting, and I haven't studied much at all.

And as I said before, he was a person who could never forget his teacher's kindness, and he had long returned the little knowledge he had learned to his teacher.

Now I want him to do the questions.

This is really difficult.

only.

I really miss it.

Higashinoji didn't know how to answer the exam questions, so he simply put down his pen and observed the students around him.

He felt an indescribable feeling of nostalgia when he saw them concentrating on the exam and tapping the pencil on the test paper like a telegraph.

He had been through this period before.

Seriously, for a university, I study hard and live a student life from 6 to 12.

He felt a little emotional, and also thought of a saying in his previous life - high school is the most knowledgeable stage in one's life.

This actually makes sense.

After you get to college, you have to focus on a specific subject and dig deeper, rather than studying nine subjects like high school and having such a broad scope of study.

Higashino looked at the blank test paper and smiled happily.

If someone who didn't know looked at his expression, they would probably think that he was going to get full marks in this exam.

but

"Exam points are not the most important thing."

Higashinoji knocked on the table and took advantage of his incompetence to start thinking about how to draw the commemorative work he had promised Ryuichi Yoshimine.

Ryuichi Yoshimine's request was simple.

He was willing to accept any kind of painting as long as it was based on the painting of Hokugi School.

But as long as it is a painting, it definitely needs a theme.

Higashinoji couldn't really draw a picture for Ryuichi Yoshimine based on the picture of Kitajuku, could he?

That would be more practical than just holding the camera and taking a picture of Bei Yi Jiao, and that would be too perfunctory.

As Tonoji thought about it, his fingertips tapped on the table subconsciously.

I didn't disturb other candidates, but I was just thinking about how I should draw a good picture.

The first is Hokugyijuku.

Kita Yijuku is a carrier.

Kita Yoijuku, that is, school, where is the school?

Teaching is a place where students waste their youth and struggle.

Likewise, we must also capture the psychology of students who are approaching graduation.

High school is the crossroads in life. Japan has always had a term for social experience. It is conceivable that they attach great importance to this stage of high school.

Thinking of this, Higashino simply held the blank space on the back of the test paper and subconsciously drew with a pencil.

Other students would definitely not dare to do this.

But Higashinoji is different.

He just came here to experience the feeling of taking the exam. As for the scores.

That really had nothing to do with him.

Even if he took zero eggs, he would not have any psychological burden.

After all, after two lifetimes, he has developed a pretty good face.

In this way, he was thinking and drawing, and from time to time he would raise his head to look at the students around him.

He had an idea in his mind.

First of all, although the first college entrance examination in Japan is in January, high school students graduate in March. In other words, it is the time when cherry blossoms are blooming.

This graduation date can be used as well as the image of cherry blossoms.

And in Japan, the written word for graduation is actually ‘graduation’, which means the end of studies.

And this graduation.

Higashinoji held the pencil on his wrist and gently wrote these two characters on the back of the test paper.

Let’s talk about what spring is like in Japan’s graduation season.

Higashino thought of the cherry blossoms, and naturally he also thought of the spring silkworms that had been frozen for a season.

Yes

This imagery is great.

Very representative of students

The process of emerging from a cocoon and becoming a butterfly is exactly the process of graduating from Kita Normal School.

Think so.

Higashino's pencil crossed over again, and a long silk thread stretched out from the point of the word "pawn" in the word "graduation".

The silk threads entwine each other, and under Higashinoji's pen, a round silkworm chrysalis is drawn.

The silkworm chrysalis represents the school Kita Kyijuku.

"What should we do here?"

At first, Higashinoji wanted to draw the process of emerging from a cocoon and becoming a butterfly, and then decorated it with cherry blossoms around it.

But this would be too uncreative.

Even though it was just a work left in school, Higashinoji didn't go to such a sloppy level.

He put this unoriginal idea behind him and began to continue to think about it.

Imagine a butterfly breaking out of a silkworm chrysalis and flying into the sky, surrounded by cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossoms are flying

Butterfly emerging from cocoon

"I understand."

Tonoji picked up the pencil again.

This time he didn't hesitate and continued painting.

On the screen, the silkworm chrysalis has already broken open.

But surprisingly, there was nothing inside the empty silkworm chrysalis.

What about butterflies?

Just looking at the empty silkworm chrysalis, one can already understand that it has probably broken out of its cocoon and left.

If the artistic conception reaches this point, it's not bad.

But this doesn’t convey the feeling of a graduation ceremony in March.

So Higashinoji's pen tip did not stop, and the sky above the silkworm chrysalis was filled with pink and white cherry blossoms dancing in the wind.

The falling cherry blossoms look very beautiful.

One flower, two flowers.

The shape of these petals looks like butterflies with pink foundation and white face flying in the air.

Yes.

This is what Higashinoji thinks.

The cherry blossoms dance like butterflies.

Butterflies fluttering in the wind also look like cherry blossoms.

The entire painting, written by Higashinoji, looks like cherry blossoms scattering in a flower field, or like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon flying in the wind.

The cocoon-breaking butterfly broke through the 'cocoon' that bound itself.

Just like the cherry blossoms in March, they are separated from the tree of parents and high school.

The ‘Sakura’ blossoms flew towards the vast sky and gradually only the white background could be seen.

Running towards the sky is actually equivalent to stepping into society.

These meanings are very good and beautiful.

Higashino looked at the greatly changed test paper in his hand and felt very satisfied.

This is only a draft, but Higashinoji feels that the quality of the final draft will not disappoint him.

He put down the pencil in his hand and looked at the time again.

This course is a Chinese language test and is given sixty minutes.

This is when Higashinoji enters the state, and now he has thought about the time to complete the manuscript, which is exactly the last five minutes before handing in the paper.

But hand in the paper

Higashino glanced at the test paper in his hand, which had various drawings on it, and thought that even the invigilator would not accept it.

Out of respect for others, Higashinoji stepped forward with the test paper and explained what happened to the male teacher in a low voice.

Maybe Ryuichi Yoshimine had said hello before.

The male teacher was not too angry. Instead, he smiled and wanted to accept Higashinoji's test paper.

His idea of ​​accepting Higashinoji's test papers was actually quite simple.

Although the drawings on the test paper may just be Higashinoji's scribblings, they can still be regarded as Higashinoji's own handwriting.

In this case, it has collection value.

Maybe Higashinoji will become famous again in the future, and he can point to this test paper and brag to his son that this is Higashinoji's own handwriting.

Naturally, Higashinoji didn't understand the strange thinking of this male teacher.

Since he wanted it, Higashinoji didn't refuse and simply handed over the test paper in his hand to the other party.

In this way, I can barely pass the Mandarin test.

But Higashinoji also knows that his current academic ability is limited, and it is a waste of time to stay here and experience the exam again - mainly to humiliate himself.

Seeing everyone around me doing questions while I was in a daze, I felt bad just thinking about it.

So he simply called Yoshimine Ryuichi and said that he already had an idea and wanted to try his hand at the Art Department of Kitajuku.

Ryuichi Yoshimine over there did not hesitate and simply said that it was no problem and he could use the art department as he wanted.

But one day he didn't forget to tell Higashinoji.

The current art department is still in use. It is best for him to say hello to teacher Ryoko Okano before going there.

"Teacher Ryoko Okano."

Hearing the name, Higashino couldn't help but smile and nod.

Another acquaintance.

I don’t know how well she has been teaching the new students recently.

Thanks to Hell Cat, Apex of Native God, Fifty-One Stone, The Other Side of Memories, and Dawn Li for their rewards! Thank you so much!
