Second Chances

The two girls were so frightened that they shut up.

Emma’s expression did not change as she took out the painting tool.

The drawing tools and paper were all prepared in advance by the summer camp.

With Marsh’s help, there wouldn’t be any problems.

Emma took out the color palette and dipped the brushes in water with ease. She did it in one go.

Those who were waiting to watch her suffer immediately realized that she was a professional when they saw her

skilled movements

As the students were drawing, Marsh suddenly said, “The subject matter of this painting is not restricted. But…

Your works will be sent directly to the Troln City Cultural Museum for this year’s Cultural Convention exhibition!”

As soon as Marsh finished speaking, the students were a little afraid.

Troln City Cultural Museum was the exhibition hall with the highest level of painting and calligraphy.

If one did not draw well and was exposed, it would be extremely embarrassing.

Everyone tried their best to draw.

Emma decided to do a landscape painting today since it was suitable to create stunning products in such a short

period of time.

Emma sat in the first row. A few people sitting behind her could quickly see her work.

It was a mountain in the distance at dusk. The green hills were dyed. There was a river running down the mountain with several cold and clear ponds on the hills. There was condensed smoke that made the mountain appear purple.

Anyone who knew painting would be deeply shocked by Emma’s painting.

When Marsh passed by and saw the Emma painting, he nodded in satisfaction. “The brushwork is sophisticated. and profound. It’s simply refreshing and immersive!” Marsh’s praise immediately made the surrounding students feel pressured.

Emma smiled politely. “You flatter me

Marsh said, “Young girl, you’re neither arrogant nor impatient. That’s why you can draw such an elegant scene. Good, very good!” Marsh’s impression of Emma instantly improved, He thought, ‘No wonder Mr. Quinn has specially instructed me to pay attention to this girl. She is indeed a painting genius.”

However, Emma did not use her full strength because she was afraid of exposing herself.

Just using 70% of her skills was enough to stun this group of people. It was a sure win and not too flashy.

It was unknown if Marsh’s praise had given the other students too much pressure.

Just as Marsh went to the back row and turned his back to Emma, a piece of earthen yellow paint mixed with water sprinkled on the painting of Emma.

Emma’s face instantly darkened when she saw the sudden and ugly dung-yellow paint. Her arms froze in midair.

The simple and elegant ink painting was ruined.

“Who did this?” When Marsh saw what happened, he flew into a rage.

At this moment, Emma’s face was also extremely cold.

It was obvious that someone did it on purpose.

It was obvious that that person wanted to ruin her efforts by doing this right before she was about to finish

painting.

The classroom was silent.

Marsh said, “No one wants to confess, right? Then I will fail all of you!”

Hearing that everyone was going to get zero, someone immediately panicked. “I saw it! It was Garfield Perkins!”

Someone else said, “Yes, it’s Garfield’s pen that did it.”

Garfield was sitting diagonally behind Emma.

Coincidentally, his pen was stained with the same color of earthen yellow paint as the paint that fell on Emma’s painting.

Garfield argued, “I didn’t do it on purpose, Mr. Hanson!”

He gritted his teeth. His father was sick and did not have enough money to pay for his studies. He really wanted to

graduate early.

If he could not be evaluated as an outstanding camper this time, he could only drop out of school next semester.

Originally, he was confident of winning the art competition.

However, when he saw Emma’s painting, his last hope was destroyed.

Therefore, he could only take the risk and destroy Emma’s painting.

“Mr. Hanson, I really didn’t do it on purpose… Why don’t we give Emma some time to draw another one?” Garfield was also a little flustered. After all, such a mistake was hard to forgive.

72%

“Idiot!” Marsh was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. “Do you know how much effort and feelings an outstanding piece of work requires? Emma’s painting was so outstanding just now. It can’t be drawn identically just by prolonging the time!”

Moreover, the competition had a rule that no one was allowed to have extra time.

It was obvious that Garfield wanted to ruin Emma’s grade.

Marsh pointed a finger at his nose. “Virtue is at the top of the list when we assess our students. You have no respect. for art! You’ve been disqualified from the exam.”

Garfield froze on the spot in a daze.

Emma thought, ‘Indeed, he was reminded by Mr. Quinn to deal with unfair competition more ruthlessly.

When Garfield was chased out with tears in his eyes, Marsh came to Emma’s side. “There’s not much time left before you hand in your work. I’ll try my best to ask the camp to extend your examination time, but I might not succeed.”

Emma understood that it was basically impossible to extend the duration of such an exam.

Hence, she said, “It’s okay. I’ll just draw another one.”

Marsh said, “Another one?”

Emma’s expression was calm. She unfolded another canvas. This time, she chose a different form of painting.

Marsh was a little shocked. He didn’t expect Emma to draw oil painting.

There were other candidates in the examination hall who had picked this form. They had enough time and had all painted portraits or still objects.

However, Emma did not have that much time.

She had originally wanted to hold back. But now, it was too late.

Since her work was destroyed, Emma felt a wave of anger.

She dipped her brush in black paint.

Then swung a vertical h o r i z o n t a l line.

The line was strong and neat, as if it carried her anger, seemingly penetrating the wood and penetrating the back

of the paper.

She used all she got.

Marsh watched from the side in a daze.

Emma quickly rinsed the brush and picked a new colorthe color.

Then, she drew colorful squares of various colors on the canvas.

There were bright red, scarlet, and blood red.

Then she changed to black, ink black, scarlet black…

The squares seemed to be jumping, some of them big and some of them small. They were s

t a g g e r e d across the

canvas.

It was not particularly focused on.being three-dimensional, but it was a little like an abstract painting.

Towards the end, Emma didn’t have time to mix the colors. She decided to get some colored tape to replace the brush. Instead of paint, she pasted the tape on those colored blocks.

In the end, she finally ended her work when the bell rang.

E mma heaved a sigh of relief.

Countless pairs of eyes in the same examination hall were secretly watching her performance.

After seeing the overwhelming ink painting just now, everyone was very nervous.

In the end, when they saw the pile of colorful squares and black lines, everyone simply laughed out loud.

A student said, “What the hell is this? It looks like something I painted randomly in kindergarten.”

Another person said, “Emma, are you giving up on yourself? Why did you draw such a random s h i t?”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Someone else said, “She thinks she’s a master? Her work is just a piece of trash…”

Amidst the laughter, only Marsh’s expression became more and more serious. He said, “This is…”
