Keira pressed her lips tightly together, her brows furrowed. If Star didn't compete, the champion title could very well be hers! She still remembered the look of surprise on her mentor's face when she first arrived in Y Country and showed him her perfume recipe.
"This design doesn't need any changes. If all goes well, it might just be the champion piece of the year!"
Even her worldly wise mentor said so, which really boosted her confidence. She didn't give much thought to Michelle now.
The only thing that worried her with Yours Only was whether the mysterious Star would participate this year and what kind of design she would bring.
"There are designers from 150 countries participating in this year's competition. From the first competition with just a handful of people, we now have over a thousand. So, elimination rounds are inevitable. There are thousands of materials provided on-site, including paints, brushes, and other design tools. You can pick at will and create a design on the spot. Of course, we know each of you has a piece you're most proud of, so fight hard for a chance to submit it."
"Huh? So those eliminated in the preliminaries don't get a chance to submit their designs?"
"Exactly, you go straight into the finals from the preliminaries. There's also no set number of people to be eliminated. It all depends on your individual talent."
"Let's move forward then. Being early in the game definitely has its advantages. The good ideas will surely be taken by those in the front. The judges won't have much patience left for the last to compete. Plus, the materials are limited, making it even more challenging to advance."
"Right, let's go!"
