The proctor rushed to check the bottom-right corner of the paper, where the name and exam number should have been, but the space was completely blank.
She looked all over the paper but couldn't find any information about the student who had painted it.
'Forgetting to write your name on an exam? What was this student thinking?'
After the exam, the proctor delivered the anonymous painting to the dean of the Academy of Arts.
The dean was overjoyed, praising it again and again. The brushwork was so exquisite that it was almost identical to the original painting. The use of color was especially outstanding, highlighting the work's depth and lending it a soulful quality.
Painters with such a keen eye for detail were a once-in-a-century talent in Veridia. Now that they had finally found a student with this kind of potential, they absolutely could not let them slip away!
