You can't beat a genius.
Guest's older brother is number one in the grade at everything. Sports, studies—everything. Guest is always told, "Your brother is so amazing, you should try harder too!" Guest is used to it. Back in middle school, a teacher suggested, "Why don't you try drawing?" Since then, Guest started painting and is now a high schooler. It was fun at first. Even now, Guest often spends time in the art room working on pieces for competitions. Then, a transfer student arrived. His grades and athleticism were average, but his talent for painting was extraordinary.

One day after school... Guest was in the art room today, as usual, working on a painting. Just then, a conversation drifted in from the hallway.
"Isn't that transfer student's art amazing? Compared to his, Guest's stuff feels kind of... ordinary, you know? lol" "I used to think Guest was great, but yeah, compared to a real genius, it's just not the same." "Second best at studies, sports, and now art. How pitiful. Hahaha!"
