[Anime Crossover] Becoming Mangaka in Anime World

Case solved!

Her hands are beautiful, and the pain from her punches is just as intense!

No wonder Shizuka's iron fist is famous, truly lives up to the reputation!!

After leaving the teacher's office, Akifumi Mugiho rubbed his head with a grimace but was smiling.

"Finally, I escaped this disaster!"

The moment this thought popped into his head, Akifumi Mugiho's smile froze.

Wait a minute!

"What am I so happy about by myself for?!"

That guy knows everything now!

Once the Shueisha Tezuka Award list is announced, a simple search will reveal it, right?

Wait.

The Shueisha Tezuka Award list? Is it about to be released?

"Getting cocky, getting cocky."

What made me think that the first episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica could actually win the Tezuka Award?!

"Now that I think about it, as long as I don't place, Jing Ke won't see it!"

Damn it!

On one hand, winning means a prize, a bonus, and a chance to be featured in the weekly magazine—but the price is social death with Jing Ke.

On the other hand, if I don't place, I won't have to worry about social death, but no bonus either.

"So torn."

Akifumi Mugiho sighed.

"Forget it, I'll just deal with it when the results come out."

After all, the moment I sent that email, fate was already out of my hands!

Walking down the empty corridor, Akifumi Mugiho quickly arrived at his classroom door—Class 2-C.

He knocked and opened the door.

"Private Marseille."

"Akifumi, you're back, go back to your seat."

The little old man at the podium, with graying hair and round glasses, smiled warmly.

Then his expression shifted, and the chalk in his hand shot across the room like a bullet, hitting the third person from the right in the third-to-last row on the head.

"No whispering in class."

Tsk.

The annoying privilege of being an honor student.

Akifumi Mugiho shot a sympathetic glance at the unlucky boy.

His seat is at the back row by the window.

Returning to his seat, Kato glanced at him curiously.

"Are you okay?"

Akifumi Mugiho smiled and shook his head.

Kato then turned her attention elsewhere, sitting up straight and looking every bit the model student.

Student life was easy and uneventful.

Time passed quickly.

Before long, it was the last class of the afternoon.

As the bell rang, the teacher paused his lecture.

"Class dismissed."

He packed up his books and left the classroom without a second thought.

The quiet atmosphere, no longer being controlled by authority, became as noisy as a market.

Classmates gathered in groups, happily chatting about where to go shopping, study at a nearby family restaurant, or hit up the new KTV.

"Ah, youth!"

Watching the scene, Akifumi Mugiho couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"Well then..."

"Akifumi, see you tomorrow."

After packing her things, Kato pushed her chair in, grabbed her bag with both hands, nodded at him, and walked away with light steps.

Akifumi Mugiho's thoughts were interrupted by her brief words.

"Heh."

He gave a self-deprecating smile. "We're all adults, and yet my mindset is worse than a little girl's."

Humans are social creatures, and feeling down about not having friends is completely normal.

But thinking it over, can people who pretend to agree just because they have nothing in common really be called friends?

He wasn't sure about others, but at least to him, those weren't real friends.

So...

"Feeling down about something like this is really embarrassing."

Shaking his head, Akifumi Mugiho smiled again.

"See you tomorrow."

He muttered to himself as he packed up and left the classroom.

Just as he stepped out of the classroom, a flash of golden hair passed by, and a small figure grabbed his sleeve and pulled him forward.

Akifumi Mugiho was momentarily stunned, but then he smiled.

He didn't resist, letting her lead him left and right, until they arrived at an empty multifunctional classroom.

"Ha, ha."

It was obvious the girl wasn't used to exercise.

In just a short time, she was already out of breath, her chest rising and falling with each breath.

Akifumi Mugiho found it amusing and patted her on the back. "A lot of people saw that just now. Maybe tomorrow rumors will spread… 'The untold story of Kashiwagi Spencer Eriri, one of the three beauties of the private school, and Akifumi-kun'?"

"Huh? Who cares about that kind of thing?"

Eriri caught her breath and shot an annoyed glance at Akifumi Mugiho, who was obviously enjoying the moment.

Under her blue sweater, she wore a white long-sleeve shirt that outlined her slender figure. The noticeable curve made people take a second glance.

Her skirt was a bit shorter than usual, clearly altered in a special way. If this were anywhere else, Akifumi Mugiho would be sure he wouldn't have noticed the difference.

But here, in this exclusive space for the girls, he couldn't help but notice.

Unlike the other school beauty, Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose thighs in black stockings were full and voluptuous, Eriri often wore long socks, but the way the black and white intersected created a mysterious allure that made people want to explore further.

Her pale, straight legs were a rare gem for anyone who loved legs.

It was clear that people had sharp eyes.

Apart from being too thin, there was nothing else to find fault with.

Lost in these random thoughts, Akifumi Mugiho didn't hesitate to reply:

"So Eriri isn't someone who cares about this kind of thing! How about coming with me to a place?"

Go with this guy?

Suddenly, her pale skin flushed red, and her eyes grew panicked.

"Who... who would want to go to a place like that with you?!"
