Readers' evaluations of "The Cautious Brave" are highly polarized.
Because today’s market is dominated by novels about noble heroes, many younger readers cannot accept evil hero novels such as “The Cautious Hero”.
But because the King of Heroes novels have finally begun to decline, some readers who already have a clear understanding of the routines of this type of novel have been struck by the creativity of "The Cautious Hero".
But overall.
Because older readers have more money, Akashi Asuka's novels are selling fairly well.
The purpose of Wakayama Kika's meeting with Akashi Asuka is also for this, because currently some editors in the editorial department advocate making certain corrections to the subsequent content, and then using new plots to attract other readers.
However, this proposal was decisively rejected by Akashi Asuka.
Because he feels that if he does this, there is a high probability that not only will he not be able to attract new readers, but even old readers will be lost. Since he has decided to take an evil path, he will naturally have to go all the way to the end.
During this meeting, Asuka Akashi handed over the manuscript of the second volume to Wakayama Kika.
Such a move almost made Kika Wakayama, who was drinking coffee, spit out a sip of coffee. The way he looked at Asuka Akashi at that time was like looking at some kind of rare animal.
As an author, it’s incredible that I don’t delay writing.
······
Back to school on Monday.
Akashi Asuka clearly felt the change in the atmosphere of the Qingcheng Volleyball Club. The atmosphere of an approaching war made the entire club members' faces become extremely serious.
Even during this period of training, Guo Jianying never said words like "energy saving".
The reason is nothing else.
Precisely because the high school league is about to start, the list of high school league qualifiers has been released not long ago, and Qingcheng will participate in the competition as the seed team in Group A of the qualifiers.
The qualifiers are on June 2nd, which means that if nothing else happens, this week will most likely be the last week before the official competition.
······
Bang!
"Next!"
Bang!
"Next!"
Inside the stadium, Oikawa Tooru is holding the ball for the players one by one. Thanks to someone, the Qingcheng players' training pace is now at least one-third faster than before.
During training in the past, most players might just sweat a little more during the whole game.
But now, half of the practice is not over yet, and many people can barely breathe.
Soon it was Akashi Asuka's turn.
Oikawa Tooru lifted a ball, but as soon as the ball left his fingertips, Oikawa Tooru's expression changed: "Ah, I'm sorry, the ball was held a bit high."
In fact, with Oikawa Toru's current strength, he rarely makes such low-level mistakes, but recently, every time he cooperates with Akashi Asuka, Oikawa Toru always makes mistakes.
Find out the reason.
In fact, we can't blame Oikawa Tooru, it's mainly Akashi Asuka's problem.
Because Akashi Asuka's progress is so fast, it often takes Oikawa Toru several days to finally reach the high point of Akashi Asuka's spike.
But after a while, Akashi Asuka actually jumped higher.
Although the progress each time is very weak, it is difficult for ordinary people to even observe it, but who is Oikawa Toru? In order to defeat the two shadows of his destiny, Oikawa Toru has always set extremely high standards for himself.
So every time there is a slight change in Akashi Asuka, Oikawa Toru has to make adjustments quickly, just like now...
call!
Oikawa Toru's reminder was obviously a step late, because when he said it, Akashi Asuka had already jumped into the air.
In the past, even Akashi Asuka would have been hard-pressed to make up for such a missed ball. However, this time, like a blessing to his soul, Akashi Asuka suddenly tensed his body in the air, and then... just like that
Stopped in mid-air.
It wasn't until the volleyball dropped back to the hitting point that Akashi Asuka suddenly swung his arm to smash the ball.
Bang!
The volleyball hit the floor and bounced high into the sky.
Such changes are usually invisible to outsiders, but Oikawa Toru, who was just closest to Akashi Asuka, saw all of this clearly, and his pupils instantly shook.
"Akashi, did you just... stop in the air?"
"Hmm~"
Akashi Asuka pondered for a moment, then turned up the data panel with his mind. After looking at it for a few times, he nodded affirmatively and said, "I feel so too. It should be that my ability to stay in the air has improved a bit."
——
Host: Akashi Asuka
Strength: 82.3 [core strength 82.3, arm strength 82.4]
On the data panel, Akashi Asuka's [Airborne] attribute changed from the original 79.9 to 80.
Some time ago, Akashi Asuka mainly focused on improving his physical strength. After raising both physical strength data to above 80 yesterday, he was originally planning to improve the attribute [Airborne] as well.
But I didn't expect that this attribute would suddenly break through the limit today and reach 80.
Oikawa Tooru's eyelids twitched.
"A little progress?"
This kind of change can already be seen with the naked eye. What do you call this?
Does it mean that if you have good talent, you can do whatever you want?
"Akashi, after today's training is over, let's test your current airborne time."
"good!"
Akashi Asuka nodded.
He also knows that the improvement of the attribute of "Hong Kong" is obviously another major challenge for Oikawa Tooru. Just like Ushijima Wakatoshi, when the attribute of "Hong Kong" reaches a certain level, its own existence will be able to
Become a powerful weapon.
The game is approaching.
Akashi Asuka's own training plan will also be adjusted.
Just like in the previous junior high school years, at this time, Akashi Asuka's training plan will begin to focus on special improvements.
Time passes day by day.
Wait until Saturday.
Wakayama Kika sent another email, informing Akashi Asuka of the sales data of the novel in the third week. Compared with the previous two weeks, the sales of the novel in the third week increased again, reaching 5452 copies.
So the publisher decided to print another 10,000 copies.
In addition, the second volume of the novel has been sent to the factory for printing. Due to the impact of the results of the first volume, the first printing volume of the second volume of the novel is 20,000 copies.
As a result, Akashi Asuka estimates that the royalties for his novel in the first month have exceeded 4 million yen.
And amidst such good news, the qualifiers for the National College Comprehensive Sports Competition have officially begun...
