Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 536

What was happening? Juniper had walked onto the stage brimming with confidence, declaring she would take first place. And her first shot was a complete miss?!

An stunned silence fell over the students of Company 22, their faces a mixture of disbelief and dismay. What they had thought was their moment of hope had turned into one of despair.

Meanwhile, students from the other companies began to whisper among themselves. The top-ranked company even started shouting for Juniper to get off the stage and stop wasting everyone's time.

Observing the scene, a mocking smile touched Farrell's lips. He had to admit, her earlier bravado had almost fooled him into thinking she was some kind of prodigy. But it turned out she was even worse than Yolanda. What an embarrassment!

She'd sworn she'd leave Eclara University if she lost. He couldn't wait to see her try to talk her way out of this one.

...

In the administration building, the subordinate's smile froze on his face as he watched Juniper miss her first shot. His jaw nearly hit the floor. "What in the world? Her movements when loading the rifle were so smooth, I thought she was an expert!"

"What a shame," he continued, shaking his head with a soft sigh. "She broke the record on the obstacle course. I really thought she'd excel in shooting, too."

"She missed on purpose." Ebony Fox, holding a pair of binoculars, let a small, appreciative smile grace her lips.

"On purpose?" the subordinate asked, confused. "You mean she intentionally shot wide?"

"That's right."

As if on cue, just as Ebony Fox finished speaking, they watched Juniper disassemble the rifle and then expertly put it back together.

"These types of rifles are mainly for training ranges or demonstrations; their precision isn't the best," Ebony Fox explained calmly. "She took it apart and reassembled it to get a better feel for it, to make it handle more smoothly."

This young lady, she thought, was far from simple.

...

"What is Juniper doing?" the surrounding students murmured, baffled by her actions.

"If you can't shoot, just get down. What's the point of taking the gun apart?"

"Is she trying to sabotage the competition? If she breaks the gun, no one else can compete in the third round."
