Chapter 4: School and work
Chapter 4: School and work
Lower Manhattan Community Middle School, that was the name of the school that John was attending. He lived in Manhattan so the school was pretty nearby. It was among one of the prestigious schools in the city.
At school he met his friend Jeremy whom he had met recently and sat by his side in the class. He remembered him from the actual memory of owner of the body. Since they had met only recently, they weren't so close but it was fine by John as he has lots of other plans and wasting his time with the kids was just going to bore him out.
Even though physically he was 11 years old, mentally he was 18 years old and he was pretty sure the class lectures for 11 year old kids would just be very boring. So all he did during the class hours was not pay attention to the class and eventually he was bored as his knowledge was way ahead of his age. He had already started making plans meticulously in his mind and took required notes that he needed to take up in the upcoming years.
On the way back home he bought big canvases and art materials from his pocket money. In his previous life he was a very good artist and a decent singer. In fact, he could even copy the manga drawing in his previous life. So he was confident that he could draw pretty good relying on his previous life.
After coming back home he went directly to the computer. The computers of 2001 were a little old for his taste but he didn't care much and started searching if there is any company named Disney. John soon found out that there is no such company and he then put his mind to rest. Then suddenly John's eyes sparkled.
"Since there is no Disney in this world I can bring all the works of Disney of my world to life here." He thought to himself.
"System can you use the fan values generated from one work and then transfer to another work?"
[Ding...
The host can be rest assured. The number of fan values are calculated in total and not individually.]
"That's awesome. I can directly use all the Disney works that I remember. Well it's sad that I can't remember all the Disney animations from my previous life."
[Ding...
The host can bring previous life's animation, games, movies and animes to this life at the expense of fan values.]
"Really? That's awesome. Many of my concerns can be waived away by this. Ok now it's time to get to work."
After sitting down with the canvas he started drawing a beautiful sunrise and many animals. After drawing the animals and showing that they were travelling to a particular direction, he drew a majestic lion.
Yes! John is drawing the famous 'Lion King'. Even though the lion king came in 1994 in his previous life there was no such movie in this world. He was pretty sure that with all the music he remembered from his previous life and with the advancement of animation the movie would be more majestic now in 2001. As for his dad rejecting his work, he never considered it because John was pretty sure that his dad will support him on this as the story itself is particularly rich and vivid and it will call to all the audiences be it both a child or an adult.
He knew that this drawing will take lots of time but he was excited to complete it.
At night when Jameson came back from work he noticed that his son John was busy in his room as opposed to coming forward and greeting him. He went to his son's study only to see him drawing diligently. When he came forward to see what he was drawing he was astonished to see that there were many beautiful drawings made in the way of comics but it looked more vivid and real.
He didn't want to disturb his son in his work. Soon he remembered the conversation he had with him in the morning. Now after looking at the drawing, Jameson was looking forward to the story he was going to produce with the arts.
"Val, since when has he been working?" Jameson called Valentina over and asked.
"Mister, he has been working like this since he came back from school. He did nothing else and is cooped up in his room."
She was worried that he will work too hard in this small project of his and miss the time to play and have fun.
Jameson on the other hand was proud of his son after seeing his art. Even if he doesn't come up with a good story he can boast about his son's extraordinary talent of art to his old colleagues. Now he was only waiting for John to complete his work of art.
