"Uh..." The counselor forces a strained smile, looking at Juniper with motherly concern. "Juniper, honey, do you exercise regularly?"
"No." Juniper answers honestly.
The counselor hesitates, then tries again. "Do you know how to play tennis?"
"I'm alright," Juniper blinks.
"With your slender frame..." The counselor scratches her head, her smile looking more like a grimace. "Running and jumping around... you might get hurt. Maybe we should let someone else do it."
Juniper's status is completely different now. Not only is she the university's prize student—the one the professors rely on to solve major issues—but she's also the future lady of the Schwartz Group. Shanley's absolute devotion to her is widely known. If she gets so much as a scratch, Shanley might literally bulldoze the school.
She's just a lowly employee. She can't shoulder that kind of responsibility.
"It's fine," Juniper says, her expression deadly serious. "I guarantee I'll bring home the trophy."
"What?" The counselor stares at her, highly skeptical.
"Professor, if Goddess says she can do it, she can," the other students quickly jump in to defend her. "We've known her long enough. She doesn't bluff."
"Yeah, when Goddess says she's 'alright' at something... we've all seen what that actually means."
"Goddess might not like working out, but she's super strong," the guy in the corner adds. "She can send a grown man flying with one punch."
"Huh?" Juniper turns to look at him.
