Carlotta returned to her dormitory and took out the two bottles of magic surge potion given by Doris. She opened one of them, poured a bit of the purple liquid onto her palm, and then applied it to her forehead.
In the next moment, a cool sensation spread, and she felt that many magical elements in the world were gathering and being absorbed by her, continuously increasing her total mana power.
She had just become a third-tier apprentice, and even with the use of the Mana Surge Potion, she couldn't leap to the level of a fourth-tier apprentice.
However, she had a feeling that with the help of the two bottles of magic surge potion, the time it would take her to reach the fourth-tier apprentice would be shortened to an astonishing degree.
"In a few days, when you see me, I will be a fourth-tier apprentice," Carlotta whispered, eagerly anticipating this visible bright future.
It was already late, so after a bit of cultivation, she chose to sleep.
...
The next day.
After getting up, Carlotta went to the bathroom to wash up while silently calling out the system information to check today's updates.
[ 1: Camella Ackerman has explained the situation to Doris O'Connor, making Doris understand that Carlotta White is dating Amelia Fenwick. Doris feels very sorry for inviting Carlotta out alone without considering the potential misunderstandings.]
Carlotta: "???"
The first piece of information made Carlotta widen her eyes, momentarily stunned.
What's going on? How did she suddenly start dating Amelia?
After being stunned for a while, Carlotta finally came to her senses, and her expression became somewhat strange.
She knew that it was probably the incident at the training ground that led Camella to misunderstand. But... didn't Amelia say she would explain it to Camella?
Although she said it didn't matter if it wasn't explained, did Amelia really not explain?
Or did she explain, but Camella didn't believe it?
Whatever the reason for this outcome, it left Carlotta feeling both amused and exasperated.
Camella was originally Amelia's little fan, but later, because of her outstanding performance, she seemed to admire her as well. Now it's even more outrageous, she's starting to protect her relationship with Amelia?
"Miss Ackerman, you are really... well, an interesting classmate," Carlotta murmured.
She looked at the second piece of information.
[ 2: Doris O'Connor has arranged her schedule for the next week. Tomorrow she will host a banquet for Miss Evans, the day after she will invite...]
This is a person who is very good at socializing.
Carlotta knew that someone like Doris would surely thrive in noble circles in the future.
Maintaining a good relationship with such a person would only bring benefits and no harm.
Carlotta thought to herself and looked at the next piece of information.
[ 3: Bram Vortiger and four others, upon learning of the dispute between Carlotta White and Bernard Dias, took the initiative to contact the Dias couple and secretly reached a cooperation. The Dias couple paid a sum of money and provided tickets to the Sun Moon Federation, while Bram Vortiger and the others would help them hunt down Carlotta White. Even without this deal, they would have targeted Carlotta White as prey, but they wouldn't miss the opportunity to earn some extra money.]
This piece of information made Carlotta's expression turn serious.
She didn't expect these two unrelated parties to collaborate against her?
These guys are a bit troublesome.
Of course, only a little bit.
Carlotta continued to the next piece of information, the last one for today.
[ 4: Bram Vortiger, fifth-tier apprentice, practices the Wavebreaker Knight Path, past achievements... Ulric Branswode, fifth-tier apprentice, practices the Night Wolf Knight Path, past achievements... Garran Holtvik, fifth-tier apprentice, practices Earth Magic Path...]
Carlotta's expression immediately became somewhat subtle.
Is this character information?
No, this information is different from the previous information about Amelia. The previous information about Amelia was detailed, including her height, measurements, hobbies, and relatives, covering all aspects.
But this time, it only provided information about Bram Vortiger and the others' combat abilities.
So, is this combat information?
Carlotta was somewhat pleased because she finally knew the true strength of Bram and his gang.
These five guys, three of them are fifth-tier apprentices, and two are fourth-tier apprentices!
Previously, she always thought these guys were troublesome and hard to deal with, mainly because she lacked understanding and didn't know how strong they were.
The most daunting enemies are the unknown ones, but once the enemy is no longer mysterious, they naturally become less fearsome.
Carlotta felt relieved and smiled. She said to herself, "I thought you guys were so impressive, but it's just three fifth-tier apprentices and two fourth-tier apprentices. Is that hard to deal with? Not really, right?"
Carlotta was instantly filled with confidence, even though she was still only a third-tier apprentice.
She wasn't someone who liked to leave knots in her heart; she preferred to be relaxed and at ease.
If something was on her mind, she would feel uncomfortable and wanted to resolve it as soon as possible.
She knew that some things needed to be brought to an end.
After washing up, Carlotta first went to the cafeteria for a meal, then attended class, pondering how to arrange today's actions.
By the end of the class, her thoughts had gradually taken shape.
This matter needed to be divided into two steps.
The first step was the combat step to deal with Bram and the others.
The second step was the aftermath step.
Carlotta wasn't a noble, and since she wasn't a noble, she couldn't kill people at will.
Although it would be justifiable to kill in self-defense after being attacked, what actions would count as self-defense? And who could prove it was self-defense?
Carlotta couldn't pin her hopes on the professional ethics of the security bureau; this wasn't earth, and she wasn't that confident.
Fortunately, she wasn't alone; she still had some connections that could provide help in this regard.
Carlotta's first choice for a connection was Amelia. She wrote a letter planning to have the academy's messenger deliver it to Amelia later.
"Miss Fenwick, do you remember the ice cream we bought at the Spice District during the last Elf Knight Gathering? I still miss that flavor, and I heard that the shop is having a discount recently, so I plan to buy a few after the academy and invite you to have some together."
