Chapter 66: Breakfast with Lily.
Chapter 66: Breakfast with Lily.
Ruth and Whittaker left the dormitory at the same time, but Ruth had hidden behind a wall and was waiting for Whittaker to leave. In the truest sense of the word, he was anti-social. He didn't want to mingle with another person, especially in the morning.
But he wasn't lucky enough to escape the gaze of Whittaker, who has been using the eyes of Devansha to get used to them. When using the eyes of Devansha, there was no visual difference in his eyes, just a mana flicker that appears once every minute. Remember, mana is not visible by naked eyes, as long as it's not thick, so there was not even a single visual difference in his eyes.
Ruth was happy seeing Whittaker leave, but his expression immediately fell as he saw Whittaker taking a turn and running towards him while waving his hand. 'Oh my god, how did he notice me?' he thought in disbelieve.
Just like that, Whittaker and Ruth met up and they walked towards the main building of the academy. Along the way, Whittaker ate up his ears, and Ruth was feeling complex emotions.
The snowy-haired boy was trying to pull him out of his shell! He loved that but also hated it. He has been anti-social since a young age, and now someone was trying to change that. He didn't have words to outline his emotions for Whittaker, but a like-hate emotion would be the most suitable word.
In the class, teacher Ruka, who wore high-heels and tight clothes that outlined her curves, taught hand signs to the young student. Hand signs were the essential basis that a mage must master. Many popular elemental spells are created by the spellbook after a mage learns Pure-mana spells, after all. That's why she was putting utmost importance on this subject.
Yato seemed to be the most engrossed in studying about hand signs while most of the other male students ogled at the curves of teacher Ruka with scrutinizing eyes. Every time she would turn towards them, their eyes would lower, and every time she turns towards the blackboard, their eyes would examine and praise her perfect curves.
This situation lasted until the humble and innocent snowy-haired boy notified teacher Ruka. He didn't know what these classmates were doing, but he felt that they needed immediate care from the health center. Their expression was rapidly changing, going from a lecherous face to a humble one, after all.
"Out all of you!" A voice thundered through the classroom. Miss Ruka was a B-ranked mage, and she didn't fear these young nobles or their backgrounds!
Soon after, the Students saw the horrifying sight of Miss Ruka and found themselves stranded on the ground. A gentle breeze blew and they realized that they had failed their parents and newfound goal.
On the other hand, Whittaker wasted his time in the classroom. On the very first day, he had memorized all the hand signs. Right now, the things Miss Ruka was teaching were useless to him.
Hours passed by, and the class ended, bringing an end to his boredom. All along, Lily has been throwing glances to his side, and whenever he glanced back, she would blush away. Her face red, her eyes misty, and her ears burning.
Whittaker felt that Lily was like an innocent bunny that needed guidance at every turn, he wondered why she kept on glancing at him.
The moment the class ended, Lily mustered up all her courage and stood up with a box wrapped in a pink scarf in her hand. She stepped towards Whittaker, who was gazing at her. No, it wasn't her, but the breakfast in her hand.

C: Mana Blessing: Increase mana by 10. Mana blessing only activates when an entire egg-toast is eaten.
'Bullshit! When did I say I am in love with her? And when did you start keeping tabs on my private life! Moreover, how did you know who helped her?' Whittaker didn't know what he felt for Lily. Though, he was sure that he didn't love her.
System utilized the rights to remain silent!
Lily came near him with a bashful look and extended the box towards him. She wanted to thank him for his help. Charlotte had told her and Lily's mother that Whittaker has princess carried Lily to the nurse's office. Lily's mother has helped her cook a meal for Whittaker, the knight in shining armor. Today, she was gonna use this magic food to conquer Whittaker's stomach. Then she is bound to one day conquer his heart!
She asked in her docile and sweet voice, "Whit- Whittaker! Would you like to eat breakfast with me?!"
She wanted to say this in a light voice, but due to anxiety, she announced it to everyone in the classroom. Everyone turned to take a look at her confession.
In the awakened continent, a girl asking a boy for a breakfast meant that she is expressing her love to the boy!
Whittaker didn't know that, and he wasn't gonna decline a 4-star breakfast that will increase his battle energy by two units. Also, he was really happy because he hasn't eaten anything in the morning, and now Lily was offering him an invitation to a meal.
Lily blushed harder when she saw Whittaker gazing back at her with a look of interest and a beaming smile that sparkled with enchanting lights. "Sure!" Whittaker replied.
"I want to take you to a special place. Do you mind?" Lily said while extending her petite hands towards him. Whittaker didn't mind but he still hesitates for a while. Last time, Lily has fallen unconscious because of his touch, after all.
"Don't worry!" Lily said while staring at him with adamant eyes. She knew that Whittaker was hesitating because of what happened yesterday.
Whittaker heard her confirmations and he stopped hesitating. He held her hand and realized that it is really soft and warm, just like his mother.
Whittaker and Lily left the classroom hand in hand. All the way, Lily was blushing, but she wanted to take him to her special place. Her special place was the window below the rooftop, a place from where the entire Academy and the snowy mountains beyond could be seen!
Whittaker was amazed by the view while Lily opened the box to serve him breakfast. Whittaker wasn't gonna eat by himself and he told her to eat with him.
In the romantic scenery, a snowy-haired boy and an ocean haired girl sat side by side, expressing innocent first love. They sat near the window and started to eat the 4-star egg-toast that Lily's mother has cooked.
On the other hand, good news spread throughout the Frost Fall Academy. Class 1-D had three members who belonged to the News sub-profession of the Cyber profession. They immediately published this news on the mana net.
[Hot News!]
The princess of the Carter family has confessed her feeling to Whittaker, a Frost Mage! And without any hesitation, Whittaker has accepted her confession
