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.
"You girls already knew each other before?" Erza asked.
"Yes, her house was near mine and we had the same hobbies. Therefore, we ended up becoming friends." Lisa answered.
"How nice. Anyway, we are in for the cakes. Let's go." Elsa pulled Erza hand without asking her opinion. Erza just smiled and came along.
"Please come in, make yourself at home. You can si….. Ah!! Pochan, you can't eat that cake!" Lisa brought the girls in and they were welcomed with the sight of a meat bun like creature eating a cake.
Pochan was surprised to see the newcomers. However seeing his master came back, he happily jumped to Lisa bosom and made himself comfortable.
"What is this thing?" Elsa asked curiously.
Lisa was embarrassed. With her face covered in red, she said weakly "This is Pochan. He is my first summoned partner."
"You are a summoner?" Erza asked while looking around the room. The room was different than her room. Here was smaller and it was a shared room for two people.
"Yes." Lisa replied weakly. Summoner was a strong class. But it depended on the summoned creatures.
"Eh, then how could you get accepted into this academy?" Elsa blurted out. Erza was staring at Elsa. She was speechless at her friend straightforwardness.
"She used the back door. After all, she is the only living relative of Granny Olivia." Linda laughed. She didn't bother to cover her friend.
"You meant Olivia Roosevelt? The Imperial Protector?" Elsa asked.
"Yes, otherwise how could she got accepted." Linda truly did not mince her words.
"Wwuuuu wuuu wuuu, you are such a meanie." Lisa acted like she was going to cry. The other three girls laughed.
Finally, Linda took out some cakes from the refrigerator. They enjoyed the cakes and continued to talk among themselves.
"How about you?" Elsa asked Linda. She was referring to Linda's class.
"I'm a warrior. But to be honest, combat is not my forte. I prefer dealing with business and money." Linda explained.
"She is basically a useless teammate. A deadweight in a fight." Lisa didn't miss her chance to mock Linda. The girls continued to talk, argued about petty things, and laughed until it was the time Erza and Elsa needed to go back to their rooms.
"How could you eat so many cakes?" Elsa was looking strangely at Erza.
"Well, all of them are delicious. It would be a pity not to enjoy them." Erza replied while finishing her last cake. She truly loved these sweet things.
"Eat slowly… We still have some left if you want to them take away. And we could make them again next time." Lisa said while giving Erza a cup of water.
"I know we are still young, but as a girl, we need to keep maintaining our good figures." Elsa tried to advice after seeing Erza still eating her last cake.
"No worries. I have casted 'Double Acceleration' to my stomach for faster digestion."
Elsa, Lisa, and Linda ended up staring at Erza with their mouths wide open.
