Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 379

“Okay.” Harold hung up the phone and turned back to Juniper. “Right, you were saying you were looking for me?”

“I was,” Juniper said, her gaze sweeping over the lab. It landed on a beaker filled with a multi-colored liquid.

“Tsk.” She shot him a look, a lazy smile playing on her lips. “And here I thought you were the future president of the association Baldy Fox recommended. Can’t even get a simple reagent ratio right?”

Baldy Fox? The name made Harold pause. That was the exclusive nickname the Grandmaster used for his teacher. How did she know it?

“Don’t touch that!” he cried out in alarm as Juniper expertly slipped on a pair of gloves and picked up a dropper filled with a red liquid. It was a highly corrosive chemical agent. For an uninformed girl to touch it so casually, was she trying to get herself killed?

Juniper ignored him, calmly adding two drops to the beaker before placing it in the data analyzer. “You—!” Harold’s face paled as he rushed forward. That was the culmination of days of careful preparation for the Grandmaster’s arrival. Adding another liquid would throw off the entire ratio. Given the Grandmaster’s infamous temper…

But as he fumed, the control panel lit up with the test results. The data was accurate to six decimal places—a level of precision he had failed to achieve after countless attempts.

Harold stood frozen, staring at Juniper in utter disbelief. If he remembered correctly, she hadn't even measured the drops. She had achieved perfect accuracy just by feel.

“Also,” Juniper continued, her eyes now on the air conditioner, “the temperature in here is too high. It can affect your judgment of the ratios.”

“How…” Harold stared at her, struggling to find his voice. “How do you know so much?”
