Chapter 1662 – You Three Years Ago
“Great!!”
The invisibility stopped at the girl’s very excited voice.
Elf Kya had her eyes shining, and her hands folded as if praying.
“You’re the first to treat me like this!! It’s different! It’s inspiring!!”
“What…”
The intangible opened her eyes wide and looked at her.
No way. Did he suddenly realize that Elpika was seeking stimulation and then show such wanton behavior?
And Dre says wow.
She laughed.
“Muhyeong, I’m scared. I think he’s crazy.”
“I’m scared of you.”
A moment’s grasp. It seems there was nothing like that.
Dre sat on a chair placed in the corner of Elpikaya’s workroom.
Seeing that tea and refreshments were provided, it seemed like this corner was a restroom.
However, the box full of snacks and tea showed no trace of being touched, and the studio was a complete mess, showing that Elpika was the type of person who was only focused on work.
Intangible reminded me of her major.
‘He was a painter.’
Elpika is a painter.
Not a typical painter.
She is an ‘eternal painter’ who creates paintings that remain in the world semi-permanently.
Even in this wide expanse of Elunar, the paintings left by less than ten permanent painters are left behind unless they are intentionally destroyed. Preserves beauty without weathering.
Remaining forever is an art in itself.
In fact, astronomical amounts of money were placed on the works of Youngwon painters, whose painting skills themselves were not very good, and no matter how expensive they were, wealthy people were anxious not to have them.
However, Elf Kya’s drawing skills were also excellent.
Even considering the fact that she was an eternal painter, she left her mark in history.
I was usually not interested in the person in the picture, and only occasionally glanced at the ‘manga’ that Dre showed, but I was inadvertently impressed by the intangible.
The materials that Elpika asks the Academy to supply are all expensive, but there is a reason why they listen to them instead of rejecting them.
“Are you here to give me ingredients?”
Elpika said with expectant eyes.
With a pretty and intelligent face and a voice full of innocence and excitement, it seemed like a man would want to listen to anything.
“No?”
But Dre shook her head.
“You came for consultation.”
“I hate counseling!”
Elpika expressed disapproval.
“They only talk about strange and difficult things!”
“I saw the list of ingredients you asked for.”
Dre flipped through the documents I didn’t know where he got them from.
“Ahem!! I can make special paints with good materials and draw pictures!!”
“Well, I can get this much. I’m probably the lord of the hottest city in the world.”
“So, I think it would be good if you just give me the ingredients!”
“But no.”
Elpikya and Dre’s eyes met.
The intangible was amazed that a conversation could be established even though they were just talking.
“Why doesn’t it work?”
“Because it’s not worth it?”
Right after the conversation finally went through. There was silence in the studio.
Intangible gulps. I swallowed my saliva.
‘Why is it like that?’
Why are you continuing to make personal attacks when persuading Elpika is not enough?
“Are you saying I’m not worth it?!”
Elpikya booms. She spoke in a shocked voice and then her face widened.
“It’s really amazing!! I’ve never been treated this harshly before!! It’s new! It’s thrilling!”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
Dre pointed at Elf Kya with her finger.
“Wow! Are you being harsh on me on purpose to inspire me?!”
Dre said to Elpika, who was surprised.
“As you know what you need is inspiration, not fancy paints.”
Elpika kept her mouth shut.
Intangible glanced at Dre.
He was staring at Elpika, and his eyes felt absurdly black.
Eyes that seem to see through everything.
“It seems like you want to rely on better ingredients because you want to overcome your mannerisms, but you’re wrong.”
Speaks as if he knows everything.
In normal cases, it would be unpleasant.
They suddenly appear and act like they know everything, but no one likes them.
But. Muhyeong was convinced that Dre saw right through Elpikya.
I could feel that weight in his eyes.
Elpikya also looked directly into Dre’s eyes as he stared at her and said.
“Then what should I do?”
It wasn’t rebellion, it was pure questioning.
Elpikya is also a genius.
She was confident that she could get the answer from Dre in front of her.
“First of all.”
“First of all?”
“Wait 3 hours.”
Dre spoke to Elf Kya, whose eyes were sparkling with anticipation, as if telling a puppy to wait.
Elpika, who was excited, made a squealing sound like a puppy that was told to wait for a snack.
Dre suddenly gathered all the students in the art department and announced that she would give them a consultation.
The instructors expressed that they did not understand why they suddenly wanted to provide counseling when they had to proceed with the class, but instructors Duldulu, EL, and Willemg calmed them down by saying that they all had a good intention.
The students were equally dissatisfied.
I’m just now taking a class, so why is it suddenly called counseling?
He would have been happy if Dre was an instructor in his field, but Dre’s skills have not been proven other than through sculpture.
However, no student dared voice dissatisfaction with the general instructor’s call, so all students had a meeting with Dre.
Consultation time for each student is approximately 5 minutes.
“What is it?”
She let out a puzzled voice when she saw the students coming in and out of Intangible Dre’s counseling room.
That’s right too. Before entering, most of the students expressed that they were inconvenienced, but when they came out of the counseling room, their faces all brightened up, or they looked sad that they had to leave already.
While Muhyeong was confused, there were students who quietly sat on waiting chairs in front of the counseling room instead of returning.
It seemed like he wanted to meet with Dre one more time.
Julia Daion, who had just arrived, took a quick look at her classmates and entered the counseling room with nervousness.
“Come in.”
He paused for a moment at the casual conversation, but Julia closed the door and sat down quietly in front of him.
“It’s been a while.”
“Yes. I was grateful last time.”
Julia was secretly saddened by Dre’s grumpy attitude. He thought that since he was the student he personally recognized, he would at least treat him kindly.
Then Dre said.
“Take it out.”
“Uh, yes?”
“You brought it, right?”
Dre looked into Yulia’s eyes.
Julia was overwhelmed by her eyes that seemed to see through everything, and she took her doll out of her arms.
This is her specialty and major recognized by Dre.
“You’ve grown.”
“Yes?”
“Facial features and arm seams have become much more precise and natural than before.”
Dre smiled faintly.
“You put in a lot of effort.”
“…!!”
For a moment, Julia’s heart swelled.
She thought she was no longer interested in her, but she noticed right away that she had brought her work, and she recognized her efforts.
She was watching correctly.
“Thank you.”
“You’ll be fine too. I hope you’ll come when I call you later.”
I don’t even know what you’re saying. Unlike last time, I spoke informally rather than respectfully, but I didn’t feel bad.
‘I see. Instructor Dre is the serious type when it comes to work.’
Unlike usual times when he seemed somewhat frivolous, he was very serious when he was working.
What should I say?
Julia felt something like the charm of an adult, an adult man, and it was difficult for her to keep her body still.
“I will.”
She barely answered, then Dre nodded, and she said.
“You can leave now.”
“Ah…”
Julia felt regretful and remembered her classmates from before.
Now I think I understand why they were disappointed.
After the interview, ten students gathered in the workroom assigned to Dre.
Among them were Elpika and Yulia.
Julia felt happy when she realized that she had been chosen among so many students.
She did the same with other students.
About 5 minutes.
It was a short interview, lasting less than 5 minutes, but the students were already completely fascinated by Dre.
I already had a crush on Dre, who had reopened the art department as normal. Now the eyes were full of trust.
Invisible was hiding in a corner, and as I watched, I thought of the many drug addicts I had seen.
‘Did you give him medicine?’
Otherwise, how can we gain that level of trust in such a short period of time?
Elpikya, on the other hand, said “Hoo~?”
She tilted her head.
Why did you suddenly bring your classmates with you after telling them to wait for three hours?
“Everyone.”
Dre raised her voice to get her attention and she suddenly lifted her finger.
There was a pretty picture drawn on her fingernails.
“This. Isn’t it pretty?”
The students unanimously answered, “Yes!” And Dre nodded her head.
“My classmate did it for me. I’ve never paid attention to nail polish until now, but when I saw it today, it was gorgeous.”
Taking a deep breath, Dre looked at the students’ faces and finally gazed at Elpika.
“People should have as many experiences as possible.”
This is a stereotypical phrase commonly heard from adults, but it is not said for nothing.
Because you never know what kind of experience will be helpful or what kind of development that experience will lead to.
There is no harm in learning.
“I think your works can create synergy with each other. So let’s start working here, now.”
How can you say that synergy is created no matter how much you look at?
… Surprisingly, not a single student thought that way.
That look of Dre.
An emotionless tone with no confidence, no anxiety, no emotion at all.
Unwavering eyes.
That calm appearance gave infinite trust.
Just one person. Only Elpikya, the person he had to persuade this time, was unable to hide his disappointment.
“Chii…”
She was born into a very wealthy family, lived without poverty, and did everything she wanted.
And after meeting many parents who wanted their daughters to be more successful than them in the future, Elf Kya realized that most people are stupid and of no help to her.
But should you get inspiration from others?
At that time. Dre turned her head and looked into Elf Kya’s eyes.
Dre spoke with deep, dark eyes that made even her, her own face, flinch.
“There are geniuses in the world for whom cooperation with others and experience are poisonous.”
Geniuses who lead the world’s trends with their own world.
It may actually be Germany who invades their world with foolish thoughts.
And.
“You are not that kind of genius.”
“…”
Dre spoke without even having time to feel anything about the reckless words.
“But I guarantee you. Having grown up under the influence of others, you will put down even such geniuses.”
Match!!
At the end of her speech, Dre applauded, surprising her students.
Before you know it. Work tools tailored to the students appeared in the workroom.
“What…!”
“Oh my god!”
The students, who wondered if they should bring her work tools from now on, were surprised by Dre’s meticulous preparation.
“Start.”
The first to move at Dre’s words was Julia.
She twinges. She was busy glaring at Elphie Kya.
And Elpika looked at the students moving in perfect order, and then at Dre. She opened her mouth blankly.
“Oh, oh…”
Seeing Elpikya making strange noises, Muhyeong, who had been briefly overwhelmed by Dre, came to his senses.
‘Are you a little angry?’
Wouldn’t even that fierce My Face girl be angry at Dre now? The moment you want.
“Younggaam-!!!!”
Elphia Kya, who cried out as if she was crying for her dead husband, jumped up and said doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. I ran.
Dre suddenly appeared behind her and grabbed the back of her neck.
“Let go! Let go! I have to draw! I’m here now!!”
“Now.”
Dre grabbed Elf Kya’s head, turned her body around, and pointed in front of her.
At her fingertips, Elphia’s favorite chair and canvas were in front of her.
“Ohhh!!”
Elf Kya sat down in front of him and started fiddling with her brush.
There was no hint of mannerism in that exciting and passionate appearance.
“There is no specific time limit. I will come back tomorrow. Please feel free until then. All you need to do is press the call bell next to you and request it.”
Dre left those words and walked out, taking Muhyeong with him.
“Looks like the mannerisms have disappeared? Now all we have to do is wait for the results.”
Hearing Dre’s smiling voice, Muhyeong stayed still and spoke.
“Did you… Calculate all of this?”
Dre burst out laughing.
“No? I just tried it once, but I was inspired before I even started working. I didn’t know what to do.”
“…”
“If things didn’t go well, I was going to use my authority as the general instructor to take action. It worked out. Let’s go get something to eat.”
Dre took the lead, and Muhyeong stared behind him.
Is that really true?
‘Which side’ was the joke?
At least the intangible felt a dignity from Dre that could not be ignored.
“Holy shit…!”
Do you feel dignified by an eight-year-old?
It shouldn’t be like this…!
Even though he was thinking that, the incorporeal figure was obediently following Dre.
