Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 504

Salma and the Dean had never experienced such an "enthusiastic" crowd. They backed away in alarm, their faces screaming, “Don't come any closer!”

"Today was just for Juniper's press conference. Aurora High is not taking any other questions at this time," Salma said, forcing a smile and trying to maintain her composure, though her words came out a bit shaky. "We will compile answers to your questions and post them on our official page."

In the past, the name "Aurora High" was usually met with scorn and disdain. Salma herself was rarely shown respect by teachers from other schools. This whole scene felt like a dream.

After calming the agitated crowd, Salma and the other teachers were escorted by security, practically scrambling away from the field and back to their offices. They stood at the window, watching the lingering crowd, still shaken.

This wasn't a press conference to clear Juniper’s name; it was more like a fan meet-and-greet for Aurora High. Just a short while ago, everyone was cursing the school. Now that the truth was out, they were all desperate to get in. It was terrifying.

"Salma..." The Dean wiped his brow with a towel as he watched the scene. "It looks like a lot of people want to apply to our school now. What are we going to do?"

It wasn't just the parents here; the admissions office had reported that their phone lines were being overwhelmed with inquiries.

"Our school produced the top scorer this year, plus we sent Queenie and about twenty other students to top-tier universities," a subject teacher chimed in excitedly. "With results like these, we're one of the best in all of Eclara City, maybe even better than Eclara High."

Eclara High's students were all top performers from across the region, so they already had a strong foundation. For them to do well was expected, like icing on a cake. But Aurora High was different. Most of its students were the so-called "problem students" with poor grades. For them to work hard for three years and get into good universities, even prestigious ones, proved that Aurora High's quality of teaching was exceptional. That was why countless parents were now flooding their admission lines.
