There was a  young girl, who is sitting at her desk in her room. She is engrossed in her drawing, filling the page with an intricate and beautiful scene of a forest. The light from her desk lamp shines on the paper, illuminating the page as she works.

This girl has an incredible talent for drawing. She is able to create beautiful and detailed artwork, and always seems to have another creative idea in mind. Even though she is young, there is a unique quality to her drawings that shows a maturity beyond her years.

The girl always had her works on the School's newspaper. This filled her with confidence. 

The girl was known as Yukino. She was well known throughout the school since she is always the winner at Poster Making Contests. 

Despite her incredible talent and creativity, the girl has a major flaw: her overconfidence.

She has a tendency to be overly cocky and boastful about her abilities, always believing that she can draw everything better than anyone else. This often leads to her trying to show off her skills in front of others. Others are amazed by her drawings, but they aren't that fond of her personality.


Today was just another day at school for the girl, who was known for her amazing drawing skills. She was in art class, where the teacher had asked her to create a poster for an upcoming school event.

The teacher approached the girl, asking her to join the Poster Making Contest but after a long pause, the teacher asked for a favor. The teacher said that there was a girl in her class who hadn't been coming to school for a while. The teacher wanted the girl to help make a poster for an upcoming school event. However, Yukino was reluctant to help.

Yukino replied, "Drawings aren't for amateurs." She was annoyed that the teacher was forcing her to help someone else when she had a different idea. It was clear that the girl was an expert when it came to art, and she didn't want to waste her time helping someone who's an amateur at drawing. She believes that she's superior when it comes to drawing.

The teacher then gave the girl's drawing to Yukino and everyone in the class was stunned. One shouted "Yukino's drawing looks completely average when compared to the girl's drawing!"

That one simple sentence echoed through Yukino's head. Someone is better than her? Better than her at drawing? That was her only saving grace. Her one and only valued talent. She couldn't accept it. Yukino walked out of the classroom and went to rooftop to get some fresh air.

Yukino decided to quit making Posters and Comics by the time the school bell rang. Her confidence was crushed by that one simple sentence. But after a week, she finally decided to go to the girl's house. She wanted the girl to attend the Poster Making Contest in her stead.

She made her way to the girl's house and as she does, a certain sentence echoed through her head. "Yukino's drawing looks completely average when compared to the girl's drawing!"

She kicked rocks on her way to the girl's house in frustration. 

Yukino knocked on the door and was greeted by the girl's mother. Yukino immediately explained that she was sent to persuade the girl to come to school. As soon as Yukino explained, the girl's mother welcomed her into the house and led her to the girl's room.

Yukino knocked on the door and heard a faint "Come in..."

Yukino slowly opened the door and found a room full of drawings and a girl who is about the same size as her. The girl looked suprise after seeing her. The girl soon shouted "Yukino!"
