Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 540

"Hold on." The instructor dropped his clipboard and sprinted toward the target range, clearly as eager as everyone else to see the results.

Once there, he knelt, carefully examining the three moving targets. His face registered shock. Then more shock. And then, pure, unadulterated shock.

"How is this possible?" he murmured, tracing the bullet holes with his finger before looking back at Juniper, his expression one of utter disbelief.

"What's the score?" the students yelled, dying of suspense.

The boy waited with a pounding heart.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the instructor finally stammered, "The score is... ten points."

Hearing this, the boy pumped his fist with a triumphant "Yes!" He cheered, thinking her total for all three shots was a mere ten. Not only had she failed to beat him, she hadn't even cracked the top three. He knew it! Her earlier scores had been a fluke.

"Wait," the instructor said, cutting through the boy's celebration with a gulp. "You might have misunderstood me. When I said ten points, I meant... each of the three shots was ten points."

The boy's cheering died in his throat. He froze, staring at the instructor in disbelief. What? All three were tens? That meant her total was thirty, still beating him!

He refused to believe it. He wouldn't believe Juniper was that good.

With a grim expression, the boy broke into a frantic run toward the target range. The instructor didn't stop him, letting him see the proof for himself.

A perfect ten. Another perfect ten. And a third. Not only had she hit the ten-point ring every time, but each shot was dead center in the bullseye. On moving targets.

Seeing the scores with his own eyes, the boy finally accepted the reality. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.

"My god, what kind of monster is she? Perfect score on the entrance exam, breaks the obstacle course record, and now she's hitting perfect bullseyes on moving targets?"
