Chapter 1298
What?
An exam that took the rest of them a grueling hour to finish, Juniper breezed through in fifteen minutes?
Was the world glitching, or had they all collectively lost their minds?
Furthermore, judging by the footage, she had been entirely focused on the paper the whole time.
Both hands remained visible on the desk. Absolutely nothing suspicious.
And exactly fifteen minutes in...
She put her pen down, buried her face in her arms, and slept until the bell rang.
She didn't even have a window of opportunity to cheat.
But still...
How could she possibly get a perfect score?!
They understood the evidence, but their brains refused to process the reality.
"I don't believe it." Taking a massive blow to his ego, Leland shook his head violently, his eyes bloodshot. "Professor, don't you find this completely absurd?" It was definitely a little unorthodox.
Dawson tightened his lips, his gaze drifting to the remarkably calm girl beside him. "Juniper, first of all, I absolutely vouch for your character."
Anyone whom Professor Tucker proudly referred to as 'Little Master' certainly wouldn't have a flawed moral compass.
But still...
Even he was dying to know how she had mastered it all so quickly to get a flawless score.
"Secondly..."
"Don't you just want proof?" Juniper interrupted him smoothly. A faint smirk lifted the corner of her mouth as she drawled, "If I can prove it right now, you run ten laps around the track yelling 'I'm an idiot.' Deal?"
"Me?" Leland pointed at himself, his face twisting into an ugly scowl.
"Well, you're the one barking the loudest, aren't you?" She lifted her gaze, fixing him with a chilling stare. "What? Are you scared?"
"Who's scared?" Leland grit his teeth, refusing to back down under her intense gaze. "You're on."
In his worldview, it was scientifically impossible for a human being to be this impossibly brilliant.
"I've been exposed to medical texts since I was a kid," Juniper stated flatly, unwilling
to waste any more time. "I can recite these textbooks backward and forward."
"Ha." The class gasped in shock, but Leland just sneered. "Let's hear it, then."
He grabbed the thick textbook resting on a nearby desk, flipped to a random page, and demanded coldly, "Page 53. What's it about?"
"Human anatomical structures,

as a confident smirk danced on her lips Specifically, the structural diagram of the cranial nerves
Leland looked at her, then down at the textbook.
She was dead on.
"Do you want me to start from the very first sentence?" Before he could voice another doubt, she began, "The human brain structure is divided into..."
Her crisp, clear voice flowed effortlessly through the room, perfectly paced and melodic, like she was giving a poetry reading.
Terrified of missing a mistake, the students practically tore open their own books to follow along. Every single syllable perfectly matched the printed text.
Professor Dawson stood by the podium, looking completely unfazed on the outside, while his internal monologue was screaming in triumph.
Ahhhhhh!
He knew he hadn't misjudged her!
Juniper Payne was a bona fide genius!
Halfway through the page, she abruptly stopped and shot Leland a mocking look. "If I only recite this
one you're just going to accuse me of memorizing it ahead of time to cheat, right?"
oner trou rejuist going to accuse
Leland's brain was practically short-circuiting. He couldn't even process a response.
"Professor, mind if I borrow your
laptop?" Juniper pulled the computer closer, navigated to a massive digital library database, and turned the screen toward a girl on her ¶eft. "This database contains every medical textbook from the undergrad to the doctorablevel. Pick any book, tell me the page number, and I'll recite it."
"Huh?" The girl, who had actually tried to defend Juniper earlier, hesitantly grabbed the mouse, clicked a random title, and nervously squeaked out, "Thirty-five?"
"The chapter on neuronal cells?" Juniper raised an eyebrow, her voice sharp and brimming with confidence.
