The display of the academy's beauties turned out to be quite unexpected. The main attraction, of course, was Mana's outfit... Oh, and she seemed like such a decent girl; Varya even wondered if such blatant attire would cast a shadow on their disciplinary committee. Many girls came in their most ordinary outfits, the ones they wore to NAILS – Varya felt a little embarrassed that she herself had dressed up so elegantly and ostentatiously... However, many others, like Leila and Nira, also prepared, which alleviated the awkwardness, and as for Eva... Eva had been looking stunning lately, having improved her style, and she wasn't ashamed to lose. Otherwise, the competition was just a competition, and it wasn't scary at all, but rather pleasant and interesting in its own way. Perhaps Varya had hoped for a slightly higher placement after the competition, but after receiving the prize, all her doubts vanished: it was that very painting that she had loved at first sight, long ago in the spring, at Rainbow! What a coincidence. The girl remained modest but dignified until the very end, and as she left the stage with the others, she carefully waved her hand with a slight smile. After all, it was a pleasant experience, and it was worth showing gratitude to the organizers and the audience... Some others did the same, not all of them ran away like Eva and Mana.
