Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 209

The competition today was mainly about teamwork.

The format was simple. The teams were given five hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to complete an assigned story.

The difficulty level was super high.

It was also very boring for the judges and the audience.

So, a lot of the audience had left by noon.

While at the judges’ table, nobody left because Young Master Hunter and Young Master Henry were still there.

Both of them were busy with their matter, each with a notebook.

They were the young masters of the powerful families and also the core people of a big group who had one thousand and one things to do, so of course, they could not waste their entire five hours sitting down and doing nothing.

But actually, they really did not need to be present personally.

For this kind of competition, although they had to pick and choose a team, they could actually just ask their subordinates to do that task.

Coming personally was not only a waste of time, but also very boring.

The school authorities of Skyler University had directly set up tables in the stadium to invite Hunter and Henry for a meal.

Whereas, for the participants, the school authorities had prepared fast food for them.

The assigned storyline had a designated direction without specifics. Emily took an hour to thoroughly finish the entire script.

While for Aryan, he had already started to work on the line draft as soon as the first line of Emily’s script was written. Indeed, he did not even waste a second.

Lois was busily pouring teas for the participants and delivering fast food to them. She also cleaned up the table for them.

Whenever Aryan completed the line draft for some parts, he would pass them to Rufus to do the outlining.

Rufus did the same. As soon as there were outlines on a few grids, he would immediately pass them to Sally and Joe.

Overall, it seemed that their team still contained too few people. They only had five but the other teams had at least ten people.

In terms of the number of people, they were only half of the other teams.

Fortunately, Emily’s script was finished quickly and Aryan was also fast in doing the line drafts.

Even though there were only five in their team, their progress was not slower than others.

After Emily finished the script, she helped Aryan to do the line drafts.

At noon, one still could see Aryan doing the line draft seriously.

The heart warmed. This was a scene that could make someone feel touched to cry.

How important was trust among each other?

She believed he would join back while he believed she would not find someone else to replace him.

If anything happened in the meantime or if one of them did not trust the other, the team would be in jeopardy in this competition.

However, they had all made it. They were strongly determined to form a team with each other!

“Emily, have some food first.” Lois handed the fast food box to her.

“Okay.” Emily held the fast food box and inadvertently saw the man sitting at the bottom seat.

He was already sitting at the meal table, facing the competition zone.

When Emily looked up, she felt he was gazing at her.

Her heart raced and when she tried to look at him again, she found out that Young Master Hunter’s gaze was not on her, and she did not know which team he was staring at.

She heaved a sigh of relief and lowered her head to eat, no longer thinking about this matter.

A five-hour competition was indeed boring.

The speed of finishing did not matter today and no participant was allowed to leave earlier. Therefore, how to fully utilize the five hours given would become a challenge for all participants.

The script that was too simple would cause a team to finish much earlier and this would cause the team to have a less competitive advantage.

The script that was too complicated might cause a team unable to finish before the time stated and this would cause the points of the team to be deducted.

In short, every competition was very difficult. However, for a competent team, the more difficult the competition was, the more excited they would be.

The competition today was not hard to guess the winner.

As Aryan had joined back, all the members of the September Drawing Club were in extremely high spirits.

All of them were doing their best.

When the drawings done by their team were displayed on the big screen, the members of the audience were completely intrigued and fascinated.

The style, the plot and the smooth shot were simply incomparably beautiful!

“This can’t be considered comics anymore, it clearly reaches the level of animation.”

“No, it’s still slightly not good enough to be considered animation.”

“Of course, each of the illustrations of the animation requires a few days to be completed.”
