Only I Have the Law: Tokyo Fantasy Daily Life

Page 128

He didn't nitpick anymore.

After all, no light novel can satisfy all readers 100%; there will always be people who can find flaws in the plot, writing style, or setting.

The goal of light novel authors is not to please everyone, but to attract and retain as many readers as possible.

If the goal is to please everyone, then this book will probably never be submitted for publication.

He quickly reviewed the parts he had marked as needing modification, nodded, and affirmed, "The parts I asked you to modify last time are now handled very well; there's no need to change them again."

Let's take a look at this new part of the plot you've written.

"Hi!"

Maeda Yuki breathed a slight sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease, but her gaze remained fixed on Aozawa's expression, trying to glean any clues about his assessment.

This new storyline unfolds in a relatively traditional, shonen-style manner.

The protagonist and his companions receive a request from the villagers and then head deep into the forest to deal with the monsters causing havoc.

She believes that the battle scenes are the most meticulously crafted and outstanding part of this segment.

However, when Qingze read the battle descriptions she had meticulously designed, her face remained completely expressionless, as calm as a deep pool of water.

Maeda Yuki's heart jumped again, her nerves pounding.

Could it be... that the battle scenes she wrote weren't exciting enough? Intense enough?

Otherwise, why didn't the teacher react at all?

Qingze finally finished reading the entire content and closed the notebook.

Maeda Yuuki asked almost impatiently, "Teacher, isn't this plot just too cliché?"

"The clichéd plot itself is not a problem."

Qingze shook his head and analyzed objectively: "In fact, in the current market where heroes are popular for turning evil and seeking revenge, sticking to writing stories of heroes who are sunny and upright may create a unique contrast, allowing you to stand out and even become a big hit."

but,"

He then shifted his focus, pointing out the key issue: "The core of the problem lies in character development."

You should focus your writing on portraying the charismatic image of this righteous hero, as well as the distinct personalities of his teammates.

Instead of spending too much time and effort to elaborate on the specific process and details of each battle.

Readers are more likely to be drawn to the characters than simply the fight scenes.

"Oh I see!"

Maeda Yuki's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly, silently keeping these insightful suggestions in mind.

Qingze handed the notebook back to her, then, as if suddenly remembering something, asked with concern, "By the way, have you fallen behind in your studies because of writing novels?"

"No, please don't worry, teacher!"

Yuuki Maeda quickly waved her hand and explained earnestly, "I just used the time I used for leisure, reading extracurricular books, or daydreaming to come up with the plot of my light novel. It definitely didn't take up any of my study time!"

Qingze nodded and said in a gentler tone, "It's good that you know your limits."

Remember, you are a student first, and your studies should always be your primary focus.

certainly,"

He paused, then added, "If you do show exceptional talent in this area and your work becomes very popular, then choosing to focus on writing in the future is not out of the question."

A person's value is not solely determined by reading.

"This doesn't sound like something a teacher should say."

"Teaching students according to their aptitude is what a good teacher should do."

Qingze's answer was frank and matter-of-fact.

Maeda Yuki bowed to him again and said, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I'll take my leave now."

"Go."

Qingze waved his hand.

Watching Yuki Maeda walk away briskly with her notebook in her arms, he also turned his gaze away and returned to preparing his lesson.

Being a responsible teacher who can benefit students is certainly not an easy task.

……

In the blink of an eye, all four classes in the morning were over.

Qingze arrived at the cafeteria first, his eyes scanning the dazzling array of dishes like a precise scanner, and soon locked onto two faintly glowing blue labels.

A label was attached to the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that read "[Magic Enhancement Potion]".

Another label was attached to a pot of braised mutton, titled "Berserk Potion".

I'm having a really lucky day.

He was secretly pleased and quickly picked up his plate, heading towards the food serving window.

Aozawa pointed to the plate of mutton with the label on it and gave Mrs. Taniguchi, who was in charge of serving the food, a harmless smile and said, "Mrs. Taniguchi, could you please serve me the mutton over here? It looks like the pieces of meat over here are bigger and fattier."

"No problem, Professor Qingze has excellent taste!"

The friendly auntie serving the food smiled and, as instructed, precisely scooped up the mutton labeled "Berserk Potion" with a spoon and placed it neatly on his plate.

Qingze immediately thanked him and turned to the scrambled eggs with tomatoes next to him that had the "Magic Enhancement Potion" label on it.

After successfully ordering his two "target dishes," he casually ordered a grilled fish and a curry, then filled a bowl with rice, carried the full plate, and walked to his usual spot in the corner of the cafeteria.

The math book was still upright as usual, and he directly put the [Berserk Potion] into his third storage space.

The name itself sounds like a desperate "do or die" decision, clearly a trump card to be used only in dire straits, and should never be used casually under normal circumstances.

As for the [Magic Enhancement Potion], Qingze picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

The sweet and sour taste of scrambled eggs with tomatoes melts on the tip of the tongue, then seems to transform into a warm current that quickly flows down the esophagus and finally settles steadily into the lower abdomen.

He could clearly sense that the magical river was showing signs of growing stronger.

These potions that can directly enhance magic or spirit feel really good.

Qingze sighed inwardly, then lowered his head and began to seriously enjoy this sumptuous and "nutritious" lunch.

……

After lunch, Qingze went to the club building as usual.

The entrance to the philosophy club was rather deserted, with no other students in sight.

He turned the unlocked door to the activity room.

Afternoon sunlight streamed through the bright windows, casting dappled shadows on the smooth solid wood floor.

Outside the window, cherry blossom trees swayed gently in the breeze.

Two girls were kneeling quietly in the sunlight by the window, looking at a book together.

The book cover is in a typical Western fantasy worldview style.

In the center of the image, a boy who looks like a hero stands hand in hand with a girl dressed in a mage's robe, with a magnificent academy castle in the background.

The book is titled "The Rules of Love in Magic Academy".

Of course, these are not the main concerns of Qingze.

The real highlight is that above the book's cover, a gleaming gold label is prominently displayed.

【The Wall of the Heart】.

Qingze's heart stirred, but he remained outwardly calm.

He took off his outdoor shoes and put on comfortable indoor shoes. As he walked towards them, he said with a slightly surprised tone, "It's quite rare to see you all sitting here quietly reading."

“Hehe,” Hoshino Saori looked up, her face beaming with the excitement of discovering a treasure, “Yesterday, Hime and I played an amazing game.”

Only after completing the game did I realize that it was actually adapted from a novel of the same name.

We thought we'd find the original novel to read, and when we did, we discovered that the novel's plot was even better than the game's!

Qingze deliberately feigned surprise and said, "Is this novel really as exaggerated as you say?"

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Hoshino Saori slammed her little hand on the table and said angrily, "Teacher, come and see for yourself!"

"Okay."

Qingze stepped forward.

Chapter 129 The imagined future may not actually exist.

Two girls sat close together on one side of the table, shoulder to shoulder, in an intimate manner.

Qingze naturally couldn't force his way into their midst; while that would make it easier to read the book with the magic label, it was clearly inappropriate.

He walked to Saori Hoshino's left and sat down at a suitable distance, neither touching her shoulder nor appearing too distant.

"Teacher, let me explain the plot to you from the beginning!"

Hoshino Saori enthusiastically suggested that she act as a narrator while watching the story to help Aozawa quickly understand its plot.

If it's really about following the plot, this is undoubtedly a good method.

But Qingze's goal is not the story in the book itself.

He shook his head and politely declined, saying, "No need, please don't spoil it. I'll just start watching from where you are now."

That way, he'll have a perfect excuse to take the book home later, using the pretext of needing to catch up on the previous episodes.

Hoshino Saori, of course, had no idea what he was really thinking. She simply assumed he genuinely hated spoilers, so she obediently nodded and refocused her attention on the novel.

However, after a short while, Saori Hoshino felt a chill in her chest.

She looked down and realized that she had been feeling too hot and had unbuttoned the top three buttons of her shirt.

At this moment, a patch of fair skin and a remarkably curvaceous figure are exposed to the air, creating a captivating and alluring scene.

Teacher...could he be peeking?

This thought suddenly made her feel a little nervous, yet also filled with an indescribable sense of anticipation.
