"?" Juniper stopped and looked at Professor Dawson in confusion, speaking slowly. "Is something wrong?"
She hadn't misremembered, right? That was what he was talking about.
"No, no problem," Mr. Dawson stared at Juniper in absolute shock, stammering, "But... you just started explaining the advanced theories I haven't even taught yet. How did you know that?"
The lingering students whipped their heads around to stare at her in disbelief.
They thought she wouldn't be able to answer at all, but not only did she summarize the lesson perfectly, she went beyond the syllabus?
*What was going on?!*
"Hmm?" Juniper thought back carefully. Now that she realized it, he really hadn't covered that yet. She smiled awkwardly. "I was on a roll and forgot to hit the brakes. Next time you ask, I promise I won't say more than I need to."
Mr. Dawson: "?"
The rest of the students: "?"
*Listen to her. Was that supposed to be a human response?*
"Professor, does that count as a passing grade for your question?" Juniper checked her watch, looking antsy. "Can I go now?"
"Y-Yes, you can go." Mr. Dawson hadn't fully recovered from the shock and gave a stiff nod.
"Goodbye, Professor." Juniper gave a polite bow and immediately dashed out the door.
Mr. Dawson slowly pulled his gaze away from the doorway and looked at the crowd of students, who were frantically flipping through their textbooks.
"Juniper really did just explain the upcoming material, didn't she?"
Not only had she explained it, she had provided her own brief, insightful analysis.
"Yeah." The students finally found the right page. The text matched exactly what Juniper had just recited.
"She must have studied ahead," the students immediately began rationalizing.
After all, this material was incredibly difficult. How else could she possibly know it?
She definitely read ahead and memorized the textbook.
"Heh, well she definitely got to show off today," one of the male students muttered sarcastically.
