Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

"It's okay to quit if you don't like it~"

The braided girl said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, no one spoke.

The three boys looked at each other, and finally turned their attention to Kato Yusuke, who had not spoken.

"Well, what do you think?"

He took his eyes away from the room by the window without a trace.

"I only have one question."

Kato Yusuke asked the girl, "When can the assessment start?"

His expression was calm and unhurried, and his eyes were unwavering, but he could feel a strong confidence.

……this person.

The girl's eyes lit up, "Could it be that you have learned painting before?"

"No, I just hate wasting time." Kato Yusuke said lightly.

Hearing what he said, the eyes of the other three boys immediately became strange.

"A guy who simply loves the limelight." - This was the first impression Kato Yusuke gave them.

But on the other hand, as long as this person is here, his grades will not be at the bottom no matter what, right?

They couldn't help but secretly think about it, and suddenly felt that the pressure on their bodies didn't seem to be that great.

"I'm fine."

"Me too."

"And I."

consensus.

"In that case." The girl with the braid swept across everyone's faces, and when it was Kato Yusuke's turn, she stayed for a while, and then announced: "Then please start preparing, the tools and materials in the classroom. You can use it as you like, and the assessment will start counting the time in five minutes.”

Pens, needle pens, brushes, colored pencils, markers,

Watercolor paper, watercolor paint.

Gathering the things he needed to use, Kato Yusuke sat on his seat, as if he didn't need to think at all, and immediately started writing.

The swishing sound of the nib rubbing came from the paper.

"Just using a pen?!" The boy next door who glanced at his drawing board inadvertently couldn't help but exclaimed, "You don't even write drafts??"

And that caught the attention of others.

"Please be quiet, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up the qualification for the assessment." The braided girl reminded.

Hearing this, the boy touched his nose angrily and turned his attention back to his drawing board, but in his heart he had already sentenced Kato Yusuke to death.

Kato Yusuke ignored the other party... or did not have the energy to pay attention to it. At this time, he was staring at the drawing board in front of him.

His wrist twitched, and the brush strokes were fast and steady, but with just a few strokes, the overall outline of the character already appeared on the paper, and he seemed extremely familiar.

Not only are the lines beautiful and smooth, but the composition is also very neat. When writing, everything is done in one step, as if you already know what you want to paint.

In fact, it was indeed the case. What he wanted to draw was a character from a certain work he had seen in his previous life.

...

twenty minutes later

As the last stroke fell on the drawing paper, Kato Yusuke breathed a sigh of relief, raised one hand and gestured to the braided girl, "Please come here, please."

The girl came over immediately.

"Yes, is there any question?"

"I finished."

"Eh……?"

Seeing the girl looking at him with a puzzled look, Kato Yusuke had to explain it again.

"The work to be assessed." He pointed to the drawing board in front of him, "It has been completed."

"You actually said it's done, there are still ten minutes left, let's work hard... uh—!?"

The words stopped abruptly.

Looking in the direction pointed by her fingertips, the girl's eyes suddenly widened.

On the battlefield of dusk and dawn,

The broken sword and the broken blade were stuck to the ground. Occupying the center of the picture is a slender back.

Sparkling gold outlines her hair, the blue of the sky outlines her dress, and noble silver fills her armor.

Under the dazzling light, a rainbow-like colorful halo protects the beautiful figure of the girl, and the gorgeous King's Sword is clenched in his hand.

She stood in the direction of the backlight, one person, one sword, writing a heroic poem.

The moment he entered the target, all the pores on Fang Buddha's body opened.

"It turned out to be a finished product...and even the color is already finished!" the girl muttered.

The power of the pen comes out through the paper, and even people who don't know how to draw can see how good this work is.

Her eyes were full of shock.

"This quality is no longer inferior to Sawamura-san."

The thought came to her mind, and the girl with the braid couldn't help but take a deep breath, then looked at the owner of the painting.

"What's your name?"

"Kato Yusuke." Kato Yusuke responded calmly, and then asked, "Have I passed the exam?"

There was a wry smile on the girl's face, and the words that came out of her mouth suddenly made the others explode into a ball.

"Of course, it would be more embarrassing for me to make this judgment, because Kato-san's level is obviously higher than mine..."

"—!"

Grala's stool sounded under his butt, and a boy stood up and protested dissatisfiedly: "Wait a minute! This is already obvious favoritism!"

The other two also couldn't sit still, and they responded in unison.

"Didn't he say he didn't learn painting? Even if it's a lie, you don't need to say it to this point, right?"

"I don't think it's good either..."

The three of them talked like this. Due to the angle and the reason why the drawing board was blocked by the girl's body, they did not see Yusuke Kato's work that made the girl feel ashamed. then--

"I understand." The braided girl said softly, looking at the boy in front of the drawing board. "Kato-san?"

"What's wrong?"

"Can I show them this piece?"

"It doesn't matter."

Kato Yusuke shrugged and said, "Can you give me an application form for admission by the way? I didn't bring it with me when I came."

Hearing his words, the girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll get it for you."

Then she brought the application form and handed it to Yusuke Kato.

While the boy was filling out the form, the girl with pigtails also turned around and said to the three boys beside her.

"Whether I am partial to Kato-san, please see for yourself."

As she said that, she turned Kato Yusuke's drawing board over so that it was facing the three men.

The moment the picture came into view, the three of them were all breathless.

"what is this?"

The thirsty throat spit out the words unconsciously.

Vivid expressiveness, beautiful composition, bright colors, and overwhelming painters, no matter which point is taken out alone, it can firmly throw them a few streets.

Take a look at your own work, let alone coloring, even the fastest freckled-faced boy among the three has just finished his line draft.

Feeling ashamed, they sat on the bench speechlessly and picked up the paintbrush again.

There's still time...!

Even if you know that you can't beat that person, you should at least work hard to the last moment.
