Fortunately, they managed to get there in time, but since Juniper was sleepy, she kept dozing off during class. Eventually, she fell asleep when Andy was lecturing. Andy noticed it, and he coughed. “Juniper, tell me about point DU-24, where it’s located, and what it does.”
Instantly, Juniper jolted awake. “DU-24… DU-24… I’m sorry, Master Werner. I fell asleep.”
It was the first time she couldn’t answer a question. She might not have a perfect memory like Jameson, but she was smart enough to memorize the acupoints. All it would take was for her to read up on them one or two times, and she would have memorized them.
“You seem listless today. Why?” Andy wasn’t angry. Instead, he pinched his goatee while looking at the girl.
“Because Mommy wanted to make an apple pie last night. I waited for her because I wanted to eat it, then I messed around with my brothers before I went to sleep,” Juniper answered honestly.
“You realize you have class today?”
“Yes.” Juniper blinked innocently.
“And yet you didn’t sleep early, all because you wanted to eat. You slept late despite knowing you have class today. You’ve wasted your time, and mine as well. Come here.”
Juniper went up to him, then Andy brandished a ruler. He always had that with him, but since Juniper was smart and managed to answer every question, he never used it on her.
“Now, give me your hand.”
Juniper pouted, hiding her hand behind her back, refusing to get punished.
“You’ll get off with three if you show me your hand now, but keep this up and you’re going to get ten hits. The choice is yours.”
Hence, Juniper slowly showed him her hand, then Andy held it in front of him. “Remember to stay steadfast and never give in to temptation. That’s the key to success. Get it?”
