Chapter 9 - The Twelve Echoes of Elven Steel

Carlotta looked at the peanut butter chimney roll in her hand and then at Amelia. She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt that Amelia's gaze lingered on the food in her hand, revealing a hint of a craving.

Was the peanut butter chimney roll really that delicious?

After a moment's thought, Carlotta took out half of the peanut butter chimney roll and handed it to Amelia. "Here you go."

Amelia was slightly surprised and didn't take the food. Instead, she shook her head and said, "Miss White, please don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to compete with you for it. I was just asking casually. I apologize if I gave you the wrong impression."

As she spoke, she prepared to leave. Although she hadn't gotten the food she wanted, which made her already bad mood even worse, she really couldn't bring herself to compete with another student for food.

"Wait, Miss Fenwick," Carlotta called out to Amelia, amused. "Take it. If you want it, just be honest about it. I'm not someone who's unwilling to share."

Moreover, it was because of Amelia that she had come to buy the peanut butter chimney roll in the first place. There was no need to let Amelia go without it.

The main reason was also that the book recording the Elven Knight Manual was on her, making her feel somewhat guilty when facing Amelia.

Amelia, unaware of Carlotta's thoughts, looked deeply at Carlotta when the chimney roll was offered to her again.

She wasn't completely unfamiliar with Carlotta. Like Soren, she knew of Carlotta's existence because of Viviana, but she had no idea what kind of person Carlotta was.

However, seeing Carlotta's actions and her sweet smile, Amelia felt that she had gained a preliminary understanding of this girl, she was a very kind person.

At that moment, Amelia stopped hesitating and took the food from Carlotta, saying, "Thank you, Miss White. I'll give you the money for this portion of the chimney roll…"

"No need, it's not worth much Orren. Consider it my treat," Carlotta waved her hand, interrupting Amelia.

A peanut butter chimney roll really wasn't worth much Orren, and it wasn't something Carlotta needed to worry about now.

The most important thing was that Amelia's soft blue eyes kept looking at her, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable and too embarrassed to stay in front of Amelia any longer.

This feeling was like the awkwardness one feels when facing someone they like.

Of course, Carlotta didn't fall for Amelia just like that, but she had to admit that Amelia's looks were among the best she had seen in this otherworld. Even Soren was far from matching Amelia.

Even the faces millions enhanced by beauty filters on social media from her previous life seemed inferior when compared to Amelia.

Simply put, Amelia was the most beautiful girl Carlotta had ever seen in both her lifetimes.

As is well known, most people feel a sense of awkwardness when facing someone of highly attractiveness, regardless of gender. So even Carlotta was no exception.

Thus, Carlotta quickly left.

Watching Carlotta's departing figure, Amelia's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then she couldn't help but smile, thinking that Carlotta was quite an interesting person.

Carlotta didn't choose to eat in the cafeteria. Instead, she ate the peanut butter chimney roll while heading to the classroom building.

She had to admit that this food, which had caught Amelia's eye, indeed had a satisfying taste.

By the time she finished the peanut butter chimney roll, Carlotta had arrived at the classroom building.

...

The morning classes seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, and Carlotta hurried back to her dormitory to study the Elven Knight Manual.

There was a very famous skill among the Elven Knight Manual called the Elven Steel, which was divided into twelve movements, also known as the The Twelve Echoes of Elven Steel.

At her current level, Carlotta can master the first movement, Elven Butterfly Dance, and the second movement, Elven Phantom Sound.

During the lunch break, Carlotta kept trying to master the Elven Butterfly Dance. Perhaps she truly had a talent for it, as she successfully performed the Elven Butterfly Dance before the break ended.

As the Rose Thorn swung, her figure twirled gracefully, like a butterfly freely fluttering among flowers.

Carlotta was quite satisfied with this knight technique, feeling that it lived up to its reputation... although most of its fame came from its exquisite visual appeal.

Having mastered the Elven Butterfly Dance, Carlotta lost track of time and wanted to continue mastering the second movement, Elven Phantom Sound.

However, the sound from the academy's clock tower suddenly woke her, reminding her that the lunch break was over and it was time to attend the afternoon classes.

Unfortunately, no teachers were absent that afternoon, and the schedule was packed, leaving Carlotta no chance to skip.

Even the foreign language and mathematics instructors, who had seemed fought over jealousy and been injured in a duel yesterday, would be teaching this afternoon to make up for the missed classes.

When Carlotta arrived at Card Magic Class 2, most of the students were already in the classroom.

She hadn't been seated for long when the gentle foreign language instructor entered the classroom, showing no signs of having been involved in a jealous dispute or being injured.

Unaware of the students' gossip, the foreign language instructor behaved like a gentleman, starting the class with a smile.
