"What?! Higashinoji-san won the gold medal in the student category of the Youth Art Award? Fukushima Madoka-san won the bronze medal?"

Ryoko Okano stood up from her seat after making the call.

Because there was so much movement on her side, the teachers in the entire office glanced at her, but when they heard the content of Okano Ryoko's words, they showed a look of surprise and congratulated Ryoko Okano.

Kita Gym has always preached to the outside world that arts and sports promote the school, so these teachers also know a little bit about the Tokyo Youth Art Prize.

But what they least expected was that the students under the guidance of Okano Ryoko this year were so successful that they directly won the Tokyo Youth Painting Bounty Award. As for Fukushima Madoka's Bronze Award...? To be honest, this is actually a good thing.

Achieved, but there is really nothing special to mention under the gold reward.

After all, in history, it can be said that only a handful of students from Hokugi School have won gold medals at the Tokyo Youth Art Awards. Counting this time, it should be the third time.

Students who win gold medals can also be interviewed in newspapers.

The student named Higashinoji has brought glory to the school, so of course they want to congratulate him.

As for the adult gold reward? Then this is not within the scope of the teachers' consideration.

After all, the annual Tokyo Youth Art Prize Adult Bounty Prize winners can appear on TV. That is no longer a world that high school students can access, and it has nothing to do with teachers like them.

"Yes, yes... Okay, thank you for your hard work. Well, I will go and inform Higashino-san right now. Okay. The award ceremony is tomorrow night? Okay, okay, I understand."

Ryoko Okano was in a good mood and finished the phone call with a smile. Then she greeted the teachers who congratulated her one by one.

"Everyone, I have something to do and go to the studio, so I'll take my leave now."

Naturally, many teachers expressed their understanding.

I'm busy informing students and the principal...it's quite normal.

Gangno Ryoko opened the door directly and walked towards the club activity building.

Perhaps because people feel refreshed during happy events, even this road that they usually walk on is particularly pleasing to Ryoko Okano's eyes.

After all, it’s a golden reward!

Although it is only a gold reward for the student group and not the adult group! But it is still a gold reward!

This is the first student to win the gold medal in the student group since Ryoko Okano joined the company! It is commemorative in every sense of the word.

Moreover, Madoka Fukushima's results were pretty good and she won the bronze medal, which is something worthy of praise.

She was in a good mood and walked more briskly.

Most girls like to think about the future, and so does Ryoko Okano.

She is already imagining that after Higashinoji goes to college, he might even win the gold medal in the adult category of the Tokyo Youth Art Awards and appear on TV to win glory for her.

At that time, maybe I, the instructor of Tonoji, will be able to be interviewed by the TV station?

A smile appeared on Okano Ryoko's lips and she quickly arrived at the door of the studio.

She knocked on the door, then opened the door and went in. She looked around with a smile on her face, then she was stunned and asked Konoe Ryoka: "Where is Higashino-san?"

Yes, there was no sign of Higashinoji in the studio, and the easel next to Konoe Ryoka was empty, with no sign that anyone had been there.

"Higashi, Higashino-san, he should still be carving wood carvings..." Konoe Ryoka was stunned by Okano Ryoko's sudden question and opened her mouth to answer.

Oh—I see, there is such a thing as wood carving.

Only then did Ryoko Okano think of Higashino's promise to make a wood carving exhibit for the student union some time ago: "Really? Then Konoe-san, can you call Higashino-kun over? I have something to announce."

"Oh, good."

Konoe Ryoka nodded slightly.

She knew which classroom Higashikata was in, Higashino told her.

It's just...why did the teacher suddenly want to find Higashino-san? And he seemed quite happy...

Konoe Ryoka couldn't figure it out, but she still walked out of the door with small steps and walked towards the third floor.

"The empty classroom on the far right on the third floor..."

Konoe Ryoka murmured to herself, as if to make sure she remembered correctly, and walked towards the corridor on the right side of the third floor.

Soon, Konoe Ryoka had already reached the door. To her surprise, the door of the empty classroom was opened directly without being locked at all.

She hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door politely and said softly: "Sorry to bother you, Higashino-kun."

Then she looked up and saw the wooden eggshell that was fixed on the base and had been polished to an extremely smooth surface...

This was probably a broken eggshell. The vertical lower half was intact, but the upper half was shattered.

The wooden square base is decorated with carved eggshells and feathers.

The carving is so detailed that Konoe Ryoka can't take her eyes away from some of the wood grains and details.

Too beautiful...

Konoe Ryoka thought that Higashinoji really knew how to carve wood.

But it was obvious that the wood carving was not finished yet. Higashino seemed to be preparing to carve something into the eggshell, holding a hammer and arc knife and tapping it time and time again.

With this wooden sculpture as the center, the ground is scattered with wood chips and wood powder that have been sanded with sandpaper.

In the corner of the classroom, there are sawdust, wood powder and other garbage that Higashinoji swept away with a broom.

It stacks up quite high.

Higashinoji had actually noticed Konoe Ryoka a long time ago, but he was doing the job he was doing just right, so he didn't let go.

After everything was done, Higashinoji stopped and raised his head: "It's Konoe-san. I'm sorry, my hands were a little busy just now... What's the matter with you coming here?"

He walked over and asked with a smile.

"Oh, oh... um... Mr. Okano has something to ask you." Konoe Ryoka came back to her senses and said to Higashinoji in front of her.

"You want to see me if you have something to do?" Seeing her innocent look, Touyoshi laughed twice: "Do you know what it is?"

"That's it...anyway, I have something to ask you."

Konoe Ryoka shook her head.

Don't know what's wrong?

Higashikata pinched his chin.

There is only one recent thing that comes to my mind - the Tokyo Youth Art Awards judging event.

Could this be the case?

Higashikata thought for a moment and took out his phone and took a look.

The "Tokyo" he used to participate in the adult category of the Tokyo Youth Art Awards was not participated in the name of Kitajuku, but in his own name.

Therefore, Ryoko Okano should be notified of the winning status of the student group.

As for the award-winning status of the adult category, the Japan Art Education Association should notify him personally.

He just took out his phone, and then——

The cell phone rang.

Um?

Does this mean that Cao Cao is here?

Is it a gold reward?

Higashinoji's mind was wandering, and he said to Konoe Ryoka, "Wait a moment, I will answer the phone and go to the studio," and then answered the phone.

"Hello? Are you Mr. Higashino Tsukasa who submitted an article for the Tokyo Youth Art Prize?"

coming...

Higashinoji regained his energy and immediately replied:
Chapter completed!
