Hearing this burst of applause, I immediately felt a real sense of honor.
Hayashiura Kotaro felt that he was in the most glorious moment of his life so far.
As a junior high school student, for the first time to submit a manuscript to participate in the famous Thunder Library Newcomer Awards in the light novel industry, he won the gold medal. This is undoubtedly an achievement that can be called a genius!
While other idiots my age were toiling away on useless stuff, busy participating in meaningless club activities, and pretending to cater to others in order to maintain fake relationships, I was already making my mark in the professional world! Go on, and soon you will be able to get rid of the boring school and live a new life of freedom as a talented writer... so he thought.
Lin Pu is happy with the present glory and the bright future ahead, but he still has some resentment in his heart because of what happened in the preparation room just now.
Nomura Mitsushi, a nonsense guy! Harano Seigo, a bastard who is frivolous on the outside and violent on the inside!
He hated these two in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. After all, apart from writing novels, he was just an ordinary junior high school student.
And the reason why he can write novels is actually because of dreams.
That day, Hayashiura Kotarou was resting at home because of a cold, and had a dream when he was sleepy. After waking up, I had a strong urge to express what I saw in my dream, so I picked up a pen and wrote a story with immature words... a story of an avenger.
The protagonist is a prince of a small country. The country was invaded by a powerful country, and his father personally fought and died on the battlefield, but he chose to surrender according to his father's secret will.
However, I didn't expect the powerful country to openly violate the agreement after accepting the surrender, and execute all the small king's family including the protagonist!
After witnessing the brutal execution of all his relatives, the protagonist ushers in death in despair.
In the darkness, the protagonist's soul came into contact with an unknown existence, reached a contract with it, and was reborn on a corpse.
The only thing he has to do after rebirth is to take revenge and kill all the royal families in the powerful country!
Before completing his revenge, he can't do anything unrelated to revenge, and no matter how he dies, he will be transferred to another corpse to be reborn.
Tries again and again, death and life again and again, from pain to numbness, from hatred to ice-cold... After dozens of soul transfers, the protagonist finally succeeds in killing the first enemy.
It took Lin Pu quite a long time to write this story. Although he knew what he wanted to write, it was difficult to write it out, and it was difficult to describe what he wanted to express in words.
For example, it is relatively easy to recall a wonderful movie, but it is a very difficult task to describe this wonderful movie in words. Some people can't even write a journal, because they just don't know how to write what they want to express in words.
After personally experiencing the difficulty of writing, Lin Pu wanted to give up more than once, but the dream reappeared from time to time, and every time he had an impulse, so he reluctantly persisted.
Why do you have such a dream? Why do I feel impulsive when I have that dream
Although he was puzzled by this, he didn't tell anyone.
And when the completed story was submitted for the light novel newcomer award and was selected, Lin Pu regarded this as his talent.
Now that he won the gold medal, he already considers himself a genius.
No matter what that Nomura says, I'm the gold medalist, the most honored person at this ceremony! Linpu Kotaro was proud of himself.
"Now I invite Mr. Hattori Sozo, the editor-in-chief of Thunder Library Editorial Department, to speak on stage."
After letting the winners take their seats on the right side of the stage, the hostess and hostess said something to liven up the atmosphere, and then invited people to the stage according to the procedure.
When Seiji saw Hattori Sozo for the first time, he felt that the editor-in-chief with gray hair and black-rimmed glasses was similar to the image he imagined.
"First of all, as in previous years, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who was present, and all those who were not present but supported the Thunder Library. Thanks to the blessings of many people, the Thunder Library has continued to this day, and the Newcomer Award will be held to the eighteenth session...
Hattori spoke unhurriedly, not only talking about the situation of the light novel industry last year, but also talking about the situation of related comics, animations and games. Finally, he turned back to praise this year's award-winning works, from the gold award to the special one. The awards all point out their merits in a few words.
"...Finally, with regard to 'Brother Story', one more thing to say is that it is not submitted by the author, but recommended by me."
"Before I recommended it, this work had already signed a publishing contract. I personally think that with its quality, even without any awards, it can still have a good sales performance. But such an excellent light novel is only published and not listed. Any honor is a kind of burial, so I decided to recommend it.”
"The result is known to everyone. 'Brother Story' received unanimous praise from the judges, was able to enter the final selection, and won a special award."
"I'm happy about that. I would like to express my sincere apologies to the censors who took the time to censor one more work, and the author of 'Brother Story' who only learned about it after the fact. .”
After speaking, the editor-in-chief Hattori bowed to the audience, and turned to the winners, bowing to Seiji.
When the editor-in-chief looked over, Seiji met his gaze.
After the editor-in-chief saluted, he stood up and bowed back to the other party.
Seeing this scene, there was a burst of applause from the audience.
Nomura followed suit, and Masaki and other winners also applauded... Only Limpu did not.
For this scene, Hayashiura Kotaro felt very uncomfortable.
The contract has been signed in advance... The editor-in-chief personally recommended to participate in the competition... This limelight almost overwhelmed his works that won the gold medal!
The special prize is obviously just a consolation prize... What the hell!
The resentment in his heart increased, and it felt as if something was about to emerge from the bottom of his heart.
After the editor-in-chief Hattori finished his speech, it was time for the awards presentation.
The award presenter who was invited to the stage was the president of a famous animation production company. She looked like a lady in her early forties, wearing a suit and light makeup, with a graceful, mature and stable face.
"The 18th Thunder Library Newcomer Award, gold medal winner, Mr. Kotaro Hayashiura!" the male host called out the name of the winner.
Lin Pu stood up and walked to the opposite side.
Feeling the eyes of many people in the audience, he couldn't help becoming nervous, and his body became a little stiff involuntarily.
Walking to the center of the stage, the junior high school boy who was strongly aware that he was now the focus of the whole scene, his heart was beating violently.
Plop, plop, plop...
Something deep in my heart began to rise slowly at this time.
"Um?"
Seiji suddenly felt something was wrong, and silently cast his spirit vision.
As a result, I saw a faint black air emanating from Kotaro Hayashipu's body!
