However, happiness glowed inside May Conner when she heard them. 'You're dead this time, Xyla...' "I might have known nothing about French paintings before. But how can you be so sure that I'm still the safter so many years?" Xyla Quest met her eyes apathetically.
"Do you think that French painting is something that can be learned overnight?" May jabbed, "Besides, learning it and mastering it are two different cases..." "That's right. Are you even qualified to judge Master Lacroix? Paint yourself then if you're so good at it." "Is Master Lacroix someone who can be simply attacked by a novice painter? Show us your paintings if you think you're better than Master Lacroix!" "Do you even know how to respect seniors? Stop acting like an attention seeker..."

"I was in a bad mood when I painted this, so I was performing well below par. However, I decided to display it anyway because the mistakes weren't too obvious... I thought normal people wouldn't be able to notice anything." As Wilmer spoke, he fixed his gaze on Xyla.
He stared at her with eyes full of acclamation. "Little girl, I can tell that you're quite knowledgeable about French paintings. In fact, I've overheard your evaluation of me, and I've been observing you for a long time... I don't think you're 'someone who can't draw'. There are sblank canvas and paint on the table over there. Why don't you draw something and show me?" "Master, I appreciate your acknowledgment, but I'm afraid that you think too highly of me..." Xyla shook her head.

Master, she can critique but that doesn't mean she can draw..." "Yeah." The clueless onlookers followed suit and jeered at Xyla.
"Please... girl." Without paying any heed to their malicious comment, Wilmer squeezed through the crowd and headed straight to the table. "Show them, Xyla. Prove them wrong." Sharon gave Xyla a confident look.
