Chapter 114 Today Is Not Her Day 4

Inna glared at him as she crossed her arms. Seeing him eating the meal was painful for her so she decided to just look away.

What she won't see wouldn't hurt her after all.

"What do you even hope to achieve by doing this?"

She muttered in annoyance.

Hearing the tone of her voice, Raghnall knew that she was definitely affected. So, he made the fork glide towards Inna's line of sight as he took another baby potato before speaking.

"Well, I'm trying to make you realize that 'this' is what you'll be missing out on if ever you won't take the test."

Inna looked back towards Raghnall with her eyebrow raised in irritation.

"I wouldn't be able to even get a piece of that even if i did take the test! I'll surely just fail it and then get nothing but embarrassment in return!"

Raghnall's fork stopped midway as he looked at her with newfound realization.

"Oh yeah." He muttered.

He got so used to acing tests and getting the rewards soon after that he absolutely forgot what happens when someone DOES fail a test.

Obviously, that 'someone' wouldn't get anything….

Seeing his foolish mistake, Raghnall cleared his throat awkwardly before speaking.

"Well, how about this. If you take the test, fail or not, I'll still give you a premium set."

Inna's ears perked up at his statement.

But she still felt reluctant. After all, she'll be taking it in public. And when she fails, the teasing and harsh comments would most definitely increase.

But then…

She's been eating nothing but porridge, bread, cheese, and eggs…

And Ulima just banned her from eating bread for a whole week…

"Hey… Ninny? Are you willing?"

Raghnall's voice barely entered her mind as she contemplated with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, Raghnall waited for an answer of his offer but after a few seconds, not a single sound was made.

He looked at her in confusion, trying to see what made her hesitate so much. And he was actually shocked to see such a serious expression on her face.

And he was torn between two reactions.

One reaction was to just keep gazing at her because truthfully, her serious expression is just… tantalizing.

He didn't expect that she could actually look like a proper lady when she thinks. Her green eyes squinted towards the distance, the way her lip twitches, and the way her eyebrowstwitches ever so slightly, Raghnall couldn't help but admire the fact that she truly looks like a fiery warrior when she's deep in thought.

But then, the other reaction he had was to hurry her up because lunch break is about to end and almost everyone in the lunch room had already left. In fact, since they were seated in a secluded spot that had the whole view of the room, Raghnall can already see that only a handful of students remained because they arrived in the lunchroom late.

What's taking her so long?

Raghnall looked at Inna again.

"So, do you accept or not?"

He pried again but after a few minutes, he was just met with air so he decided to ignore her for the time being and just finish his meal.

He didn't expect her to take so long deciding. In fact, he actually expected her to accept it immediately. Judging the way her mind works, he expected her to immediately jump on board in taking the test.

But it seems like she's actually trying to think it through.

Does she really hate taking tests in public? So much so that it actually exceeds her love for food?

Raghnall didn't know what to make of it so he decided to just finish his lunch instead. It took great sacrifices to get the premium set so he decided to make every bite count.

So, after finishing everything except the large cut of citrus-y beef steak, Raghnall checked on Inna one last time.

Sure enough, she was still contemplating which made Raghnall wonder what was currently happening in her mind.

Little did he know, in Inna's mind the whole time, she had problems elsewhere.

Dinner…. Dinner….

If I'm banned from bread, then the only thing I can eat from the storage box would be cheese and eggs.

Cheese and eggs… I can make cheesy scrambled eggs.

But, it feels like something is missing.

Damn. If only I can steal some of those potatoes, then maybe i can make mashed potatoes or something. Or better yet, why not fries?!

Yes, yes, yes… so since they've got baby potatoes in the lunch set…. That must mean that they've got raw ones in storage somewhere…

But then… the security will surely be tight…. Ugh…

Should I just leech onto some other person?

But high class people wouldn't want to associate with me.

Maybe I should just make myself look pitiful then beg the chef for a bit of food?

Or should I ju--

Before she can continue her train of thought, a citrus fragrance bombarded her senses. The smell actually made her hunger resurface, forgetting the fact that she just finished a bowl of porridge before.

She looked at the origin of the smell and saw a defenseless hovering fork holding onto a large cut of steak. It was moving slowly and Inna's eyes followed the movements wherein it landed by a person's mouth.

"You alive now?"

Raghnall chewed slowly as he looked at her in amusement. He didn't expect her to respond only to the meat, but he should've known better. After all, he is talking to the girl who downed a dozen of steaks in one sitting.

Inna gulped at the sight of the steak as she nodded.

"Uh-huh."

Looking at the steak, she got reminded again with her dinner woes.

"So will you go? We've got about, ten moments left before they start the tests."

Raghnall said but he didn't seem to be in a hurry as he slowly and teasingly ate each slice of his steak.

Inna was thoroughly distracted by the steak, so much so that she wasn't able to take it anymore.

"Ughhhhhh, can I at least take a bite?!"

"Will you go?"

Raghnall avoided her question with another question. He also made his fork that had a piece of steak hover in front of her for a few seconds before eating it.

Looking at the tempting steak, Inna glared at his cunning ways.

"Fine, I'll go. Even if it means looking like an idiot in front of those high class smart people."

She muttered.

"So can i have a bite now?!"

Raghnall looked at what's left of his lunch and saw a quarter of the steak left. Then, he had another idea.

He made the steak hover using a spell and Inna thought that he was going to give it to her now.

But then…

The steak quickly flew past her and landed near Raghnall's mouth where he bit it fiercely.

Raghnall looked at her triumphantly as if saying, 'Are you sure you still want it?'

Inna growled in frustration and seeing the steak dangling on his mouth, it only made her angrier.

But then, she suddenly had a shameful idea.

Raghnall was about to chew on the steak when suddenly, he saw movement on Inna's side. And in a split second, he was staring straight through Inna's green eyes.

"Uhhhhhhh….."

Raghnall can only make out that sound as he saw her chomp on the piece of steak that was dangling out his mouth.

Then, Inna tugged on the steak that she bit before finally breaking it off into two separate pieces.

But Raghnall didn't even notice that he got the smaller portion of the steak because he was busy inwardly freaking out over what just happened.

Did she just....

On the steak…..

My mouth…..

What just happened????
