8 Friends (1/2)

Everyone was bewildered seeing Erza who was still sitting in her chair and calmly finishing her dinner.

”What did she do?”

”What was it? Was it a physic magic?”

”I don't think so. You didn't hear a magic spell, did you?” The girls were discussing about what was happening.

They did not dare to think about a possibility where Erza was capable of Instant Cast. It was a known fact that Mage Apprentices and Magic Knights still needed to voice out their spells. Only once someone was a Magic King then they could do Instant Cast.

”Is she a warrior?” Someone speculated.

”But it was just 1-2 seconds at most. Don't tell me that she could move that fast within split seconds. That probably needed one to reach peak Knight realm or early King realm first.”

No one bothered to think that Erza had reached Knight realm. Even legends like Emperor Lin or Eastern Sage Old Ancestor only reached Knight realm by the age of 15. How could there be a 12 years old Knight? What a joke. In fact, someone might consider to graduate early if he had reached Knight realm.

The girls kept discussing among themselves but they could not come up with a logical explanation. The red haired girl and the other two girls just stood there speechless. They did not dare to risk it further. Seeing the fate of their two comrades and the fact that their leaders just stood there, the rest of the group did not dare to be rampant anymore.

Few minutes earlier…

After being rebuked by the annoying girl, Erza casted 'Double Acceleration', a time magic, to her legs and her right hand. Then, she dashed toward the girl using warrior signature move 'Dash'.

She did not spell the magic out loud and was quick like an Instant Cast because she used her eyes as the medium. Normal mages would use their voices as the medium, whereas those advanced mages in King realm could use their inner thoughts.

Next, Erza delivered a heavy kick to the girl's stomach. The annoying girl was going to be sent flying, but then Erza casted 'Time Stop' which caused the girl to stay in her place.

After that, Erza slapped the girl across the face and dashed backward to her original sitting position. She did not forget to remove her 'Time Stop' and casted 'Double Acceleration' on that girl to strengthen the impact of her kick and slap.

All of these happened in split seconds. In addition, coupled with the fact that people attentions were focused on the green haired girl and Elsa fight, no one realized Erza moves.

The dorm mistress and two supervisors, sitting far away at the designated area for staff members, were the only ones who realized what was going on. They were also very surprised with Erza performance. She was above their expectation and it made them pleased.

Generally, as long as it was not an issue regarding life and death, academy elders would not interfere. They believed that this kind of experience was valuable test of character and lesson for the students.

In the end, Erza and Elsa comfortably left the dining hall after finishing their dinner. No one dared to find troubles with them again.

”Hi, excuse us, we just want to thank you two for standing out for us.” The two girls who were previously sitting beside them followed Erza and Elsa from behind.

”No problem, we were also doing that for ourselves.” Erza replied nonchalantly.

”Yes, I really hate those people who like to flaunt their weights around.” Elsa added.

”Anyway, you two still helped us in the end. I'm Lisa and this is my friend, Linda. If you two don't mind, we would like to thank you with some cakes.” The girl called Lisa introduced themselves.

”Yes, we made them ourselves and it was really too much for me and Lisa to finish them all.” Linda added.

”Oh, you girls can make cakes?” Elsa was tempted. After all, most girls loved cakes.

”Yes, we brought the baking tools as we love making cakes.” Linda replied.
