Stunning Edge

Chapter 11: Arcanum

A small group of people carefully walked over. Their eyes were full of loathing and disgust, not bothering to hide it.

“So, Claire, why hasn’t Lashia come to the Institute these days?” A noble lady who was Lashia’s best friend asked in a low voice while suppressing her hate.

Claire rose and coldly looked at the group of adolescents. She didn’t want to have anything to do with them. Claire knew their intentions clearly. If it wasn’t for Lashia, these people would have never talked to her.

The group of people saw the cold look in her eyes and started to get nervous.

“I don’t know.” Claire turned to leave, paying no attention to the group. Right now, she wanted to find a peaceful place to absorb the day’s lesson, not waste time on responding to these senseless people.

“What kind of attitude is that? You don’t know? You’re Lashia’s older sister, how could you not know?” The most impulsive boy of the group finally couldn’t hold back and blurted out. Lashia had not appeared for many days. As one of Lashia’s most faithful fans, he was naturally anxious to know.

Claire didn’t respond to their shouts and continued on her way. Talking to these conceited and foolish nobles was a complete waste of time.

“Stop right there! What kind of attitude is that! You man-chaser.” Finally that impulsive noble made some lousy word choices and spoke out rudely.

The leading girl glared at the person who just spoke. Obviously, even if he was telling the truth, it was still very rude.

Claire looked back a little and indifferently cast a gaze at them. Just this indifferent look made them feel so cold it was as if they were in an icehouse. That kind of icy coldness pierced through their bones, pierced through their soul and made them shiver. What kind of look was that, without any emotion. There was only coldness, cruelty, and bloodlust.

The small crowd just stood there, stunned, their minds blank.

Claire turned her head back around and kept on walking, leaving the people who were too stunned to move where they were.

Not until when Claire disappeared from their eyesight, did the students come back to their senses.

“Who, who is she?” The boy that was rude before opened his mouth nervously.

The crowd kept silent. That definitely was the infamous man-crazy Claire, but why was she totally not like herself? So ruthless, so frightening.

For one month, Lashia didn’t show up. And one month later there was no school because of summer break. During this one month, Emery was astonished to find that he had totally no idea how much Claire had improved. Claire always brought him surprises.

The Hill castle.

“Claire, what do you plan on doing during the two months of summer break?” Emery asked as he watched Claire play with five fireballs on her five fingers. To control so many fireballs at the same time with such precision would come to him as a shock if someone else did it. But for Claire it wasn’t strange. In only a month, Claire had given him too many surprises.

“Teacher, I keep feeling like I’m missing something, but I don’t know what it is.” Claire extinguished the fireballs in her hand, a little distressed.

“Do not be impatient, Claire, there’s still much to learn. You can’t learn everything in just a short period of time. Remember, never be impatient.” Emery misunderstood Claire and thought that Claire wanted to learn more.
