Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1360

As she spoke, Juniper deliberately cracked her knuckles.

When normal people threatened violence, it was usually just talk.

But when Juniper Payne promised a beating, she meant it.

Most of the students had already been thoroughly "disciplined" by her in the past, so they definitely didn't dare provoke her now.

Besides, they were all nearing graduation; there was no point in making permanent enemies. Maintaining a safe distance was enough.

...

During the break.

Juniper woke up groggily from a nap to find Jenna frantically memorizing textbooks.

Jenna's lips were moving non-stop, and she was scratching her head so hard her hair looked like a bird's nest.

Looking closer, Juniper realized she was studying materials for the National Medical Innovation Challenge.

"You're entering the competition?" Juniper asked softly.

"Yeah," Jenna nodded, her tone deflated. "Winning an award in this competition will give my Ph.D. application a huge boost."

"But I signed up for the international cross-disciplinary track. The difficulty is insane, so my chances are pretty slim."

She just wanted to give it her best shot so she wouldn't have any regrets.

Juniper took the study materials, flipped through them seriously, and asked in a flat voice, "Do you need clinical data? Like special case studies?"

"I do!" Jenna's face lit up with a sliver of hope, but she quickly wilted again, sighing heavily. "The data for highly unusual cases is always locked down by the top-tier experts. They don't just hand them out to students."

Without permission, she couldn't legally use them.

And standard, everyday cases wouldn't win her any points.

She had been driving herself crazy lately trying to source a compelling medical case.

"Got it." Juniper finished scanning the papers, snapped the folder shut, and looked Jenna straight in the eye. "Have you heard of Dr. Nocturne?"

"Huh?" Jenna froze for a few seconds before her eyes bugged out. Her lips trembled as she stuttered, "Dr. Nocturne? Who hasn't heard of her? She's an absolute god in the medical field!"

"Rumor has it she never received formal training, but her foundational knowledge and surgical skills are lightyears ahead of everyone else."
