Watching Soren retreat, Alia did not stop her. Just as Soren knew she couldn't do anything to Alia, Alia also knew she couldn't stop Soren.
Turning her gaze back, Alia said to Carlotta, "Miss White, you've done very well. Leave the rest to ."
Carlotta looked at Alia and nodded seriously.
Although they were both noble ladies, her intuition told her that Alia and Soren were different.
Next, Alia went to Carlotta's dormitory, where she saw a group of people still groaning on the ground. As for Mary, she was nowhere to be seen.
This made Alia glance at Carlotta in surprise. Although Carlotta was a second-tier apprentice, it was still quite remarkable for her to face over a dozen first-tier apprentices and erge unscathed.
"Will there be any consequences for injuring them?" Carlotta couldn't help but ask upon seeing the injured.
Alia smiled and said, "You were acting in self-defense, so there won't be any issues. The bla for these injuries will fall on Soren."
She then entered Carlotta's room and took the magic book that Soren had sent.
After that, Alia went to contact the academy's instructors.
There were quite a few instructors at the academy, and with Alia's intervention, many of them ca to the student dormitory.
Among them were a few instructors Carlotta knew, as well as so she hadn't t before, likely those who taught upperclassn.
The instructors had already learned about the situation from Alia. Upon arriving at the dormitory, they first took away the group of injured students.
Estelle, as Carlotta's instructor, took the initiative to ask Carlotta for further details. Naturally, Carlotta repeated what she had told Alia to Estelle.
"You are also a victim in this matter, so don't worry about anything. Caerwyn Academy is not a place where people can cause trouble at will, not even nobles," Estelle confidently reassured.
Carlotta nodded, hoping that Caerwyn Academy could truly stand firm.
The subsequent matters had nothing to do with Carlotta. Alia took full responsibility, and Carlotta returned to her dormitory.
She took out the book on Elven Knight Manual Path from under her pillow. Alia had only taken the magic book Soren had sent, without noticing this one.
Carlotta hadn't read the later contents of this book before. Now, she couldn't help but flip to the back, where she found a photo tucked inside.
It was a picture of two silver-haired sisters... or rather, mother and daughter. One of them was Alia, and the other was likely Alia's deceased mother.
In the photo, Alia looked much younger than she did now, her smile full of sunshine. Alia's mother, who bore a striking resemblance to the present Alia, looked more mature, gazing at her daughter with affection.
"It's said that most people who practice the mory magic path have soone in their mories they can't let go of, wanting that person to reappear by their side at any ti... Miss Fenwick, is that the case for you too?" Carlotta murmured softly.
Perhaps it was ti to return this book. After all, without Alia, it was hard to imagine what would have happened to her tonight. She felt too embarrassed to keep holding onto sothing that belonged to soone else.
But before that, she should morize the contents of the Elven Knight Manual Path.
Carlotta knew she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, so she took out paper and pen, sat at her desk, and began writing furiously.
...
When the new day dawned, the public announcent from Caerwyn Academy stunned many students who had just woken up.
Soren Carlisle, this noble lady, had been expelled. For the students, this was undoubtedly big news.
As for the reason for Soren's expulsion... Caerwyn Academy did not specify, only stating that Soren had seriously violated the rules.
After leaving her dormitory with dark circles under her eyes, Carlotta overheard other students discussing the matter and learned about the academy's announcent. Unlike the others' shock, she felt anger.
"Wasn't it promised that they would stand firm? They didn't even dare to tell the truth?" Carlotta was a bit angry.
At this mont, a pleasant voice ca from behind her, "The Carlisle family exerted so pressure and offered sufficient compensation. They only asked the academy to conceal the truth about Soren's expulsion to avoid damaging her reputation. Given the substantial compensation, the academy agreed."
Carlotta turned around to see Alia speaking.
It was a bit of a coincidence; she was just about to go find Alia.
Seeing Carlotta, Alia couldn't help but laugh: "Miss White, did you not sleep at all last night? You have dark circles."
Carlotta didn't answer that question but instead frowned and asked, "How will the academy explain this to everyone else? What about Avery and the others?"
Alia said, "Miss Clarke and the others have been healed. The effects of that master-servant magic are not irreversible, and Soren hadn't mastered it deeply. However, Miss Clarke and the others have forgotten what happened last night. In other words, apart from the instructors, only the two of us among the students know about this."
"Did Mary get expelled too?" Carlotta thought of this person.
"Naturally, Mary was with Soren," Alia said with a smile. "I know you're a bit indignant, Miss White, but when facing the Carlisle family, not losing is a win. Moreover, the compensation from the Carlisle family will also include your share. An instructor should co to find you soon."
Carlotta perked up, not expecting there to be compensation for her.
She asked what the compensation would be, but Alia shook her head, saying only the instructors knew that.
Although she couldn't find out the compensation imdiately, Carlotta wasn't in a hurry. What was hers wouldn't run away. She touched a book in her pocket; it was ti to return it to Alia.
