Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 160

The final sections were reading comprehension and the essay—the hardest parts of the exam. The questions were numerous and the answers complex, so the literature teacher reviewed them with intense focus.

“Juniper’s answers don’t seem to match the standard key,” the chemistry teacher pointed out curiously.

“No, they don’t,” the literature teacher agreed, her voice muffled. “But… they’re better than the standard answers.” Her logic and language were flawless. She couldn’t find a single reason to deduct points.

“The essay…” She looked at it helplessly. “What score do you think it deserves?”

The other two literature teachers didn't dare to venture an opinion. The essay was good enough to be published. What right did they have to judge it?

Another perfect score!

The three literature teachers stood frozen, while the other subject teachers rushed over excitedly. “Let me see, let me see!”

“Don’t push! I’ve never seen a perfect literature paper before, let me get a glimpse!”

The desk was swarmed with teachers, their chattering voices creating a cacophony.

From her corner, Juniper peeked out. Seeing that no one was looking, she swiftly pulled a candy from her pocket, popped it into her mouth, and then folded her hands neatly in her lap, resuming the posture of a well-behaved student.

Watching this unfold on the monitor, the gloom on Shanley’s face vanished completely, replaced by a deep, indulgent smile.

“Levon, how did it go?” The Dean, wiser now, dashed over before anyone else and snatched the math answer sheet. He started counting the points. Section one: full marks. Section two: full marks. Section three: full marks. Another perfect score?

The Dean, fearing he had made a mistake, flipped the paper over and back again, but he couldn’t find a single error. No wonder Levon was so emo. Reality had just slapped him hard in the face.

A perfect score in Literature, and a perfect score in Math. This time, the exam was completed under the watchful eyes of every senior year teacher. The test itself was a confidential paper they had just received, so there was no way the answers could have leaked. Therefore, both perfect scores were the result of Juniper’s own ability. She hadn’t cheated.

If that was the case, her academic level far surpassed that of the top student, Queenie. If she was this good in her other subjects, then at the university entrance exams… even the top student in all of Eclara City might not be able to beat her.

At this thought, the teachers’ breath caught in their throats, and their eyes began to sparkle. Good heavens! It seemed their school had just hit the jackpot.
