Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 537

Once might be luck, but twice? Farrell's smile completely vanished, his hands clenching into tight fists at his sides.

Soon, the shooting competition moved into its third and final round. From the remaining ten students, the top three would be decided.

Although Juniper had placed fifth in the second round, Yolanda's disastrous performance in the first round had dragged their team's average down. Their combined score put them in seventh place overall, still more than ten points behind the top three.

"She's catching up, but can she actually beat the top three?" The students of Company 22, pulled from their initial euphoria, were now anxiously focused on the final round. They couldn't take another emotional rollercoaster.

"I did the math. She needs to score a nine or higher on all three shots in the final round to beat the current leader."

"Three nines in a row is still a huge ask."

Even though she had just landed two perfect tens, shooting was unpredictable. Hadn't Yolanda gotten so nervous she fainted and passed out cold?

Soon, the final round began. Several of the competitors, knowing they had no real chance of breaking into the top three, simply gave up and fired their shots carelessly.

After the first few contenders finished, the leader's total score was astronomically high, a full ten points ahead of second place. To everyone watching, his victory seemed certain, and his company had already begun to celebrate.

"Company 22."

As the instructor called their name, Juniper discreetly slipped a piece of candy from her pocket into her mouth before stepping forward.

"You—"

“BANG! BANG! BANG!”

Before the instructor could even finish his sentence, Juniper fired three shots in rapid succession. He stared, his mind buzzing, and rushed to check the targets. All three shots were dead center. Perfect tens.
