Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 535

Juniper listened quietly. She then heard other classmates complaining about their own ruined plans. If she recalled correctly, Saskia had a hospital check-up tomorrow, and Janet had wanted to go with her.

After a few moments of silence, Juniper finally stood up. “I’ll give it a try,” she announced, her voice clear and cool.

At her words, everyone’s gaze snapped towards her.

“Juniper…” Hattie, still feeling down, was startled by her sudden move. “Didn’t you say you only knew a little about shooting?”

With no one else daring to step up, why was she putting herself in this messy situation?

“I did say I knew a little bit,” Juniper said, a slight smile playing on her lips, her tone light and lazy.

Hattie was completely bewildered. She felt like Juniper was speaking in riddles.

“You?” Farrell sized Juniper up, his face dripping with disdain. Yolanda had told him that Juniper grew up in the mountains, which was why she was so fast in the obstacle course. But shooting was different; it required skill. He doubted she even knew how to hold a gun properly.

“That’s enough,” Farrell said, assuming Juniper was just trying to show off. He sneered, “Don’t go up there and make a fool of yourself.”

“Make a fool of myself?” A small laugh escaped Juniper’s lips, her cool expression unwavering. “You chose that incompetent girl, who shot a total score lower than the number of toes I have on one foot. Then she faked fainting because she was afraid to lose. Could anyone be more embarrassing than her?”

“You—” The direct attack left Farrell’s face livid. “She couldn’t do it, so what makes you think you can?”

“Let’s make a bet,” Juniper said, casually playing with her fingers. “If I win first place, you buy milkshakes for everyone in the 22nd company.”

“And if you don’t?” Farrell shot back.

“I’ll drop out of Eclara University,” Juniper said, her tone unnervingly calm as she raised an eyebrow.

“The girl who broke the obstacle course record,” her subordinate repeated. “Company 22 is in last place after the first round. She’s subbing in at the last minute and will have to perform exceptionally well just to make it into the top three. Do you think she can shoot?”

Hearing her subordinate's words, Ebony Fox put down her tablet and walked to the window. She picked up her binoculars as usual, her gaze finding the young girl instantly. She watched as Juniper walked to the shooting station, picked up the rifle from the table, and deftly unloaded and reloaded it. The movements were fluid and practiced—she was clearly not a novice. The file said she grew up in the mountains. How did she know so much?

The whistle blew. The students of the 22nd company and Farrell watched her with a mix of emotions.

“Bang—”

The sharp crack of the rifle made everyone on site flinch. When they recovered, they looked for the result on the target. The target was pristine, without a single mark.

So… on her first shot, Juniper had missed the target completely.
