Chapter 226 Two Bosses And Introductions

Conference Room 1A, Tokyo Studios, Elffire City.

The room was big enough to house all the team leaders.

And they could be seen entering the room with excited faces.

Brianna, Nora, Aidan, and Bruno were some of the team leaders chosen.

A big rectangular table was placed in the middle of the room.

The animators each took a seat and waited for further instructions.

They could not hide their excitement as they waited.

They could not help it, after all, this would be the first creative meeting that they would participate in their lives!

Some older animators got emotional as they sat at the table.

They never imagined that after struggling in the industry for so many years, that one day they would be participating in a creative meeting.

This was a dream coming true.

And they did not want to wake up from it.

The animators were waiting for a while when they heard the door opening.

They turned their heads and saw three people entering the room.

One was their boss, Ryoko.

The other was a girl carrying loads of papers and other things.

And the other was a silver-haired man wearing casual clothes and with a calm expression on his face.

Ryoko smiled at the animators looking at her as she walked to the head of the table.

There were two seats at the head of the table.

And Theo and Ryoko sat in each of the two seats.

Theo said that he did care if he did not seat at the head of the table, but Ryoko refused to let him seat in another position.

After all, he gave her so much and the least she could do was to show the respect he deserved.

That's why Ryoko asked Amber to put 2 seats at the head of the table.

When the animators saw the silver-haired man seating in such a privileged seat, they became surprised.

After all, Ryoko was already the Head Director of the company.

So, who would be important enough to seat by her side?

Some of them remembered Theo as the one who talked with them for the first time at the beginning of the interviews.

Theo's godly features were too handsome for them to forget.

But after the first speech, Theo disappeared from view, and only Ryoko appeared for them.

Therefore, they gradually forgot about the handsome man.

They thought that he wasn't anyone important, but as they saw the man seating beside their boss, they started changing their minds.

Ryoko and Theo took their seats and looked at the animator seated at the table.

Theo could not help but smile a little when he saw these people.

These people would be the backbone of his conquest of the anime world!

He had great hopes for them.

Ryoko also smiled before she said, "I'm glad everyone is here."

Everyone also smiled when they heard Ryoko's words.

"Before we start the discussions and presentation of the project. I will introduce myself again."

"My name is Ryoko Riverdale, and I'm the Head Director of the Studio." She introduced herself once again with a calm smile.

"This one standing beside me is my assistant Amber Kaur." Ryoko said as she pointed at the young girl who was responsible for assisting Ryoko in this meeting.

"And this one seated beside me is Theodore Gray, he is the owner of this studio and a genius animator. He will work as the Episode Director and Cinematography Director for the anime we will produce." Ryoko introduced Theo with a playful smile on her face.

She was looking forward to their shocked faces when they got this information.

And she was right because as soon as she said that, all the animators recently hired were shocked and speechless.

Their mouths were open and their eyes were wide.

They could not help it, after all, they would never imagine when they saw Theo for the first time that he owned the very studio they were trying to enter.

And now after they were hired, Theo was the boss of their boss!

Now they understood why Theo was seated beside Ryoko.

And they were even more shocked when they heard that he was an animator too!

He was even going to direct the anime they would work with!

They had no words to express as they assimilated the information.

And the craziest thing of all was that he seemed as young as Ryoko!

How could two monsters like them exist?

Comparisons were the fall of people.

So, they stopped comparing themselves with the two young people at the head of the table.

Little did they wonder that if they knew that Theo was only 19yo, they would collapse in bewilderment.

"I also would like every one of you to introduce yourselves." Ryoko said as she looked at them.

Their ears perked up when they heard that.

They had to pass a good impression to their bosses!

"My name is Brianna Shiori, and I'm the Art Supervisor." The girl said with a confident voice.

She was the person seated the closest to Theo and Ryoko, so she took the lead in the introductions.

Theo nodded his head when he saw the girl taking the lead.

He was watching closely this girl, if she performed well in this period, he would give her the opportunity of her life.

But that would only happen if she excelled.

The person beside Brianna started her introduction after Brianna finished.

"My name is Mitsue Koi, and I'm a Supervisor Animator!" The girl exclaimed nervously.

"My name is Zofia Webb, and I'm a Keyframe Animator!" The next in line exclaimed.

The two girls were seated with her friend Brianna.

The three of them had studied in college with Ryoko.

But after Zofia and Koi failed to get into the fourth phase of interviews, the two girls thought they would only serve as normal animators.

They would never believe that they would get the opportunity of participating in a creative meeting of an anime.

The girls still thought they were dreaming ever since they saw their names as team leaders.

Some people may think that Ryoko was biased to choose these girls to be team leaders, but in reality, she wasn't.

These two girls were amazing in their jobs and could work as team leaders without problems.

Ryoko predicted that these two girls would climb through the ranks of the studio in no time.

The introductions continued as everyone tried to sound confident and concise.

"My name is Nora Wells, and I'm the Editor Supervisor." The woman said with a serious voice, but her eyes betrayed her.

Nora was beyond excited.

She hoped for a studio without discrimination against women, and she received that and much more!

She got her dream job and the opportunity of participating in the creative meetings!

"I'm Aidan Davies, and I'm the Compositing Supervisor." He said in a loud voice.

He observed the people looking at her and his heart warmed.

All he wanted was to work in his dream job without having to deal with people looking bad at him because of his skin color, and when he saw that no one cared that he was black, he was overjoyed.

He finally could fit in!

"My name is Bruno Takehiro, and I'm the Background Supervisor." He introduced himself a little nervously.

He could not help it, after all, he was not used to talking in front of so many people.

The introductions continued until everyone had their turns.

Ryoko noticed that they were less nervous after they introduced themselves.

And that was what Ryoko was looking for.

She didn't need nervous people, she needed people with talent and capable of thinking straight.

"I'm glad to meet all of you!" Ryoko exclaimed with a smile.

"Now, with this done, we can start."

"The First Creative Meeting for the [Sword Art Online] Anime starts now." She declared with a calm voice.

But her words incited excitement in whoever heard them!
