I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 717

Sawamura Eiri looked at the group of young people in silence. She had been enjoying this honor as Li Yan's partner, but after they separated, she realized at this moment that that man with an eccentric personality, paranoia, and fear of readers The influence of his partner is so strong that he is the only old thief in Sanwa Bunko who can rival Akane Akane Kurisaka in terms of courage and ability.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked in a low voice: "Yinglili, there is still a little time, do you want to go backstage to follow...Senior Li Yan and say a few words?"

"Hmm!" Ying Lili showed a unique expression of surprise. She thought for a while, shook her head vigorously, and said: "It's better not to bother him at this time, Otaku... Li Yan always goes into a daze before writing, absolutely. Can’t be disturbed.”

"..." Kasumigaoka Shiyu was stunned for a moment, showing a bit of surprise. Looking at the side face of the worried Yinglili, she always felt that Yinglili knew Li Yan better than she thought.

Just as the two were riding the escalator, a middle-aged and elderly man standing in front of them, with a stern appearance, gray hair and beard, who was probably close to sixty, suddenly turned around. There was something in his pair of reading glasses. A pair of eyes like eagle eyes, looking down at them, immediately made the hairs of Erili and Kasumigaoka Shiha stand on end.

What's going on, this scary old man? !

"Excuse me, do you two little girls know Li Yan who is studying at the University of Tokyo?"

The old man tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, but still asked with an indescribable sense of authority.

Eiri and Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at the old man with pale faces. After you looked at me and I looked at you, they both nodded and said: "...Yes, yes, sir."

This person is none other than Professor Ogura Kenichi, an in-service professor at the University of Tokyo and a Nobel Prize winner in physics. At present, he heard rumors that two of his disciples were participating in this competition behind his back, so he came here to see what happened.

"...This scary weird old man is Mr. Uesugi's (otaku Li) professor!?" Yinglili and Shiyu stared up with their eyes wide open, and suddenly looked at the old man who introduced themselves in astonishment. Without saying a word, I sighed in unison in my heart.

"I am Eri Sawamura, a prospective third-year student at Toyosaki Academy. Please give me your advice."

"I am Kasumigaoka Shiu, this year's prospective freshman in the Faculty of Letters at Waseda University. Please give me your guidance."

Beside the escalator on the second floor, Yinglili and Shiyu bowed to the university professor and introduced themselves.

Ogura Kenichi seemed to have a good impression of the two girls and asked: "Hello, both little girls are quite outstanding. Are you friends of Li's?"

"Yes." The two pretty girls nodded nervously.

"Um……"

Ogura Kenichi felt a little surprised when he saw them nodding. Li Yan is a foreign student. He originally thought that he had no decent friends at Tokyo University except for a senior sister and Hagimura who he got along with. However, he didn't expect that he had many connections outside the school.

He considers himself a stateless person and is currently an American citizen. However, he also deeply understands that Japanese society is exclusive and closed. Li Yan's performance really surprised him.

This old professor was taciturn. After asking a few simple questions, he walked in front and arrived at the VIP seats with the best viewing angles together with Ying Lili and Shi Yu.

As a result, at the door, Hagimura Suzu, who had just received the notice, had been waiting at the door for a long time. After seeing Ogura Kenichi, her expression was almost exactly the same as that of the two girls behind the old professor. She hurriedly bowed at ninety degrees to greet him and said: "Teacher Ogura, you are here!"

Hagimura Suzu, who was scared to death, thought to herself: "Oh no, why did this devil professor come here?"

"Hagimura, where is Li?" Ogura Kenichi looked around for a while and asked.

"Yes, I'll call him over immediately!" Hagimura Suzu immediately took out her mobile phone and wanted to dial Li Yan's number.

Ogura Kenichi was silent for a moment. He remembered that the girl named Eri Sawamura had mentioned Li Yan's adjustment period before preparing for the competition, and then said: "Forget it, let him prepare for the competition quietly. Hagimura, you It’s not like we’ve entered the second round. Although I don’t support you two guys doing meaningless things in your good time, but since you two are my students, do it seriously.”

"...Eh, eh?"

Hagimura Suzu was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning, her mouth wide open in shock, almost as if she heard an unexpected sound of nature from the devil, showing an expression of disbelief.

Ogura Kenichi looked for a seat for a while, and sure enough, he saw a group of people at the back of the ordinary seats. Colleagues such as Miyamori Aoi and Ogasawara Riko who had met in the company were among them, and his daughter Yasuhara Ema was even willing to take a leave of absence and come here specifically to cheer for his students.

"..."

For some reason, Ogura Kenichi felt a little complicated. He immediately sat in the front row, looked at the one hundred empty seats in the two sections, and paid attention to the performance of his two disciples.

Not far away, Hongsaka Akane noticed the old man in front of Eiriri and Shiyu, and her expression changed slightly. She naturally knew the origin of this professor. After investigation, she also found out that he was Uesugi Yan's teacher. She always felt that Uesugi Yan's background is becoming more and more complicated... When she simply looked at the professor's calm and sharp eyes looking at the audience, she could tell from his eyes that this was an American scientist who had a strong influence on Japan. Treat Uesugi Yan as his beloved disciple and his own son...

"Uesugi Yan's background is really tricky. No one dares to provoke Sanwa Company and a national treasure teacher. However, I, Akane Kurisaka, will not accept this trick. We have an appointment, Uesugi Yan... you You all have recognized my strength, so you handed them over to me. Then let me see how you can win this round. Use your strength to overturn my definition of you and overthrow me for ten years. I have worked hard since then and got rid of naivety and weakness to achieve my current professional judgment."

The bright and cold Akane Akane's eyes sharpened as she stared at the competition venue. Her eyes looked extremely paranoid and arrogant in the dim auditorium.

In the competition auditorium, there were Eri Riri, Kasumigaoka Shiu, Yasuhara Ema, Natsume Takashi and the cat teacher in her arms, Professor Ogura Kenichi, the Yukinoshita sisters, Shiina Mashiro, Nanami, Rita, and the ones hiding high on the cantilever. The figures of Baozitou were all concentrated in the audience, witnessing the critical moment of entering the top ten in this battle...

※※※

At 7:45, the contestants entered the venue one by one. This time, there were indeed many well-known authors and literary elites from all over the world, especially Japan, in the team.

Compared with the [Akutagawa Prize] for mature Japanese first-line writers, the [Jiemura Prize] is considered more of an award that the younger generation must overcome. The young writers who come out are like stars, with a lot of junior high school and junior high school students. The high school fan base chanted his name.

This crazy atmosphere made Yinglili feel that this scene was not a literary competition at all. Instead, it was like traveling back to the ancient Roman arena. Countless cheers, the central venue was bright, and a group of people were fighting for reputation and future. The teams came slowly, whether they were using swords or pens, it seemed that the taste of cruel elimination had not changed at all.

It was quite a spectacular scene, representing the second test of a competition in Japanese literature. It was so passionate and there was no stereotype of quietness at all.

Faced with such a heated scene, Yinglili could not move and watched the scene quietly.

Such a fanatical scene is equivalent to the interests and weight involved in her game at high speed. This kind of shock really made Ying Lili understand Li Yan's situation.

"..."

Yinglili couldn't hear the shouts of the group of people again and again, and the noisy voices gradually failed to reach the depths of her heart.

Amidst the cheers and shouts in the audience, a figure appeared, attracting the attention of many viewers who knew this person well. Yinglili also saw it, a young man wearing a shirt, a mask, and a hat. The only thing that remained unchanged was his indifferent eyes.

"Teacher Uesugi!?"

"Uesugi Yan is coming out, and he is finally willing to come out!"

"Come on, old thief Uesugi!"

Finally, in the audience, people who knew Uesugi Yan roared and shouted like a landslide.

This figure seemed to have an indescribable magic power. Not only did the audience become commotion, but the elites in the queue also became energetic and started to have their own agendas.

——[Finally willing to come out, Uesugi Yan. 】

In the team, there were all kinds of meaningful smiling faces flashing, and a certain unsavory thorn in the side that broke into the forbidden area of ​​traditional literature was finally able to be plucked out in front of everyone.

Ying Lili, who was sitting among a group of people waving their hands, stared blankly at that figure.

"Otaku Li..."

Yinglili looked at the figure that was constantly advancing, but she couldn't make a sound. She sat there and looked at the other person as if she had lost her soul.

The one who asked her to leave and was left in the open space of the park.

That one stood there just to snatch her and Kasumigaoka Shiha's powerless creator dignity from being trampled by Akane Benisaka.

However, there is no one around him anymore, only himself is really left...

In the darkness, Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Eirili felt the pressure on Li Yan. However, Eirili looked at it and quickly lowered her head, attracting Kasumigaoka Shiyu's attention.

"What's wrong with you, Sawamura-san?"

Reporters' cameras flashed in the darkness. Li Yan heard cheers, but when he looked around, he couldn't recognize anything in the darkness. However, the sounds of "beep beep beep" came one after another, and it seemed that many familiar people were coming. .
