What's this? Seiji frowned.
He observed carefully, and saw that there was no abnormality on the junior high school boy except for the black aura emanating from him.
It doesn't look like being entangled by ghosts, and it doesn't look like an awakened person... Could it be a problem at the soul level? Mysterious energy
Is Kotaro Hayashipu the same mysterious energy possessor as Teacher Juicy Tao and Xiao Lingyang? Seiji had doubts in his heart.
"Mr. Lin Pu, congratulations on winning the Gold Award for your work 'The Immortal Avenger'."
The female president who was the award presenter picked up the gold award certificate with a smile on her face and handed it to the winners.
Although his heart was beating violently, Lin Pu felt a chill in his chest and a little dizzy in his head. Facing the award certificate, it took a few seconds to reach out to receive it, and the movement was obviously stiff.
"It seems that Mr. Lin Pu is quite nervous." The male host said.
"Because I'm a junior high school student, I'm quite shy." The hostess laughed, "It's amazing to win a gold medal at such an age."
"It's amazing. There was only one person who won the Newcomer Gold Award at the same age as Mr. Lin Pu."
"Huh? Is there another person? I thought that Mr. Lin Pu must be the youngest gold medal winner."
"No, but it's also the second youngest, and it's really amazing."
After the male and female hosts spoke appropriately, they handed the microphone to Lin Pu for him to deliver his acceptance speech.
During the short time when the two hosts were talking, Lin Pu felt a little dizzy, and scenes from his dreams began to flash in front of his eyes.
High platforms, blood, corpses, guillotines...
He tried his best to maintain consciousness, took the microphone, and looked at the audience.
The moment he faced the crowd, a clear scene suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
The dark sky, the densely packed crowd, the executioner in black, the aloof enemy family, the blood-stained execution platform...
Incomparably intense anger filled his chest, his heart was beating violently, and his body was bone-chillingly cold.
With the most extreme hatred in the world, he casts an eternal curse upon his enemies—
“KFSOUWUTEBGDFJFRCMKJ…”
Everyone: "?"
Hearing the inexplicable sound made by the gold medal winner, all the people present felt strange.
"What did he say?" "Is it a foreign language?" "Which country's language?"...
When the audience was confused, there was only one person with a solemn expression, and that was Seiji.
He saw that when Lin Pu spoke an unknown language just now, the black aura emanating from his body suddenly became more intense.
Although I don't know exactly what happened, it seems that the situation has deteriorated.
Seiji made preparations, planning to rush to deal with the opponent as soon as he saw him losing control.
"Mr. Lin Pu, what did you say?" the hostess asked.
Lin Pu suddenly woke up.
"I... I just..."
His head was still dizzy, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, so he just stood there blankly facing the audience.
"It seems that Mr. Lin Pu was too nervous and forgot what he was going to say." The male host rounded up the situation, "Let's give him some applause to encourage him." He said and took the lead in applauding.
People applauded.
After the applause, Lin Pu seemed to calm down a little, and barely said a few words.
Seeing that this junior high school boy was really not in good condition, the male and female hosts smoothed things over for him, and then let him go back to his seat.
Seiji silently watched Lin Pu.
Then the silver award was presented, and the winners Mitsushi Nomura and Masaki Ishihara walked to the center of the stage together, and received the certificates from the female president one by one.
As before, the hostess and hostess said some words of appreciation, and then handed over the microphone to Nomura to give his acceptance speech first.
"My goal is the gold medal of the Newcomer Award. I have worked hard for several years, but it's a pity that I didn't get it." Nomura said in a calm tone.
"My work is bettered by a junior high school student. To be honest, I am not reconciled, but the reality is like this, so I can only accept it."
"In the future, I will turn this dissatisfaction into motivation, and work hard as a light novel writer to create better works... I hope everyone present will take care of me."
After speaking, he bowed deeply to the audience.
Although the tone was flat, these few testimonials, which contained frank feelings, received warm applause.
Then there's Masaki.
"I don't have the same goals as Mr. Nomura, but just because I like light novels, I write the stories I want to write."
"It is a great honor to receive the Silver Award, and I am very grateful to the reviewers for their appreciation."
"In the future, I will continue to write the stories I want to write, hoping to be recognized by more people, including of course everyone present... Please take care of me in the future."
Like Nomura, she bowed and received applause.
Then came the Excellence Award, and the winners were Masao Ishi, Yuko Hashimoto, and an uncle named Yoshidai.
The three of them went to the center of the stage to accept the award, and after listening to what the male and female hosts said, they gave speeches one by one.
"I submitted a novel I wrote in my spare time. I didn't expect to win an award. Maybe I'm actually very talented? Haha... But even if I'm really talented in this area, I can't give up my current job and become a novelist. In the future That is, write when you have time..." This is Qian Shi Jiangsheng.
"I have submitted manuscripts several times, and thinking that I won't win this time, I completely gave up writing novels. Now that I am honored to win an award, I can continue. I am really grateful to the reviewers..." This is Yuko Hashimoto.
"It's an honor to win this award, thank you examiners..." This is Yoshidai.
Finally, there is the special prize, the winner is Seigo Harano.
When this handsome and extraordinary boy got up and walked to the center of the stage, the people present more or less had a subtle illusion, as if it was an idol appearing on the stage, or as if this was the finale of the show, and those people were all warming up for him.
When the female president handed him the certificate, the smile on her face became even brighter.
"Mr. Yuan Ye is so handsome. When he walked over, I felt that the atmosphere on the stage changed." The male host said.
"Yeah, it feels like an idol coming out or a model walking on the stage." The hostess echoed, "I would be very happy to date him!"
"I think all the ladies here would be happy... maybe some men would be happy too?"
The ridicule of the male host caused a burst of laughter.
After the two hosts chatted and laughed, they handed the microphone to the boy.
"First of all, let me state that my sexual orientation is normal." Seiji said with a deliberately serious face.
There was another burst of laughter from the audience.
Then Seiji smiled genuinely.
"To receive the Special Award for Newcomer, I would like to thank the editor-in-chief Hattori for his recommendation and the reviewers for their appreciation," he said sincerely.
"But before them, the first thing I want to thank is my partner who created 'Brother Story' with me, my adopted sister."
"At least half of the honors won by this work belong to her. But for some reason, she is not able to attend this kind of occasion..."
After listening to his words, people can't help but imagine a sickly girl who is not suitable to go out, and they understand why this work is called "Brother Story".
The handsome and gentle step-brother and the weak but talented step-sister co-author a novel... This is a scene that would appear in a TV series!
"In the future, I will continue to create with her and describe the world we love together. I hope you will take care of me."
After Qingsi finished speaking, he saluted.
The applause sounded, and the enthusiasm of the voice was better than all the previous ones.
In Uehara's apartment, Kagura Shi, who was writing the idea of a new novel, felt something, raised her head slightly, and revealed a beautiful smile.
Daily power outage, alas... I will make it up after the reward...
