“Fair? How can we know what she’s hiding?”
“Yeah, look at all her hair accessories. Master Inkblot isn’t prepared at all.”

The crowd wasn’t the only one crying unfairness–the live chat was flooded with complaints. Yvonne curled her lip into a cold smile. “What’s wrong? Does Master Inkblot find this unfair?”
Stella shrugged, her smile bright and carefree. “It’s fine. The boss sets the rules.”
The comment section exploded.
[Fan A: Wow, Queen Inkblot is so cool!]
[Fan B: Crush her, Queen! Crush her!]
[Fan C: Stella’s already winning just by showing up unprepared.]
[Fan D: Can’t you challenge someone fairly? Look at her covered in jewelry–total cheat.]
[Fan E: This is straight–up cheating in front of the whole country.]
[Fan F: Master Raindew’s just wearing accessories. Can’t Stella afford that?]
[Fan G: Master Raindew never studied painting. It’s unfair already.]
[Fan H: Stella never studied perfume, either!]
[Fan I: Quit fighting. We’re watching a free show between two legends. Just enjoy it.]
[Fan J: Both women are amazing. No need to drag anyone down.]

my work, ‘The Peacock“.”
“How can someone who doesn’t paint make it look so alive?”
“Was she hiding her skill?”
“She can’t use tools, but her jewelry works like brushes.”
“I think Master Inkblot is in trouble.”
Stella paid no attention to the whispers.
She pulled out her hair tie and shook free her long hair. She dipped the tie in paint, and every stroke left the crowd holding their breath.
“I’m done too.”
Everyone tensed up for Stella.
This piece is called ‘Until We Meet Again.”
When the painting was revealed, the room fell silent, then erupted in

The judges stood, leaning in to study the landscape, stunned by its grand, sweeping power.
