Chapter 136: A special dinner?

"Haha... then did you know, I used too much force and almost burnt my whole arm! The thunder bolts are no joke—very sharp and precise!" Daniel exclaimed, his eyes wide with the memory.

"Pfft-! That's it? I was almost about to fall off a steep cliff due to the strong wind! Teacher came in the nick of the moment and saved me! I was almost dead otherwise!" Alphonso recounted, a shiver running through him.

They shared stories, laughed about their mishaps, and made fun of others. The sense of community and support filled Oliver with some warmth. He liked this sort of atmosphere.

"Alright! The food is ready, you lot! Let's have a blast!"Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

A cheerful voice belonging to Alison sounded as she entered the dining area with a steel pot in her hands.

Suddenly, Oliver had an ominous feeling when he observed the brownish fumes wafting from the steel container.

'Don't tell me this is one of those scenarios where the teacher would force us to eat her trash cooking?'

His stomach churned at the sight, and he instinctively took a step back, eyes widening in disbelief.

A look of horror flashed past his eyes when Alison put down the contained on the table for them to see.

And he was right!

The pot was nothing but a brown mess of something between liquid and solid—something unidentifiable entirely.

"Huh? What's this?" Daniel who was sitting a bit far came over curiously, The pungent smell hit him, and he recoiled, pinching his nose as nausea overtook him.

'What the fuck is this!?'

He instantly pinched his nose with his fingers, closing the entrance before he inhaled any more of this smell and puked on the table.

His face turned green, and he staggered back, desperately trying to hold his breath. The stench was overwhelming, invading his senses with an intensity that left him dizzy.

He looked at the brown content with a disgusted gaze, before his eyes wandered to the others sitting on the table and he could see they all mirrored a similar expression to his.

'Fuck!' Daniel cursed internally, he didn't want to think that way but looking at the contents, his mind could not help but wander to that direction, as it wandered to the worst possible thought

'Isn't this basically someone's sh*t!?'

His eyes turned into saucers as his brain no longer restrained and thought all the worst things imaginable.

"Ueakkh-!"

Unable to hold it in, Daniel fell to his knees and puked.

The sight of Daniel vomiting on the ground coupled with the smelly brown food and foul smell, all those present felt their hunger disappear automatically. The scene made their hunger vanish!

"What happened to you? Already breaking out on the first day of training?" Alison looked at him confused.

She seemed to be genuinely clueless why he was behaving in such a way.

"Woah! Teacher, it seems he is having a tough time enduring the stress, allow me to take him back to his room! He needs immediate attention and medical care!" Oliver rushed over, hoping to escape the impending meal.

Oliver walked over hurriedly, ready to take Daniel to his room and never return.

Alphonso and Amber looked at him and were ready to follow what he spoke.

"Should we throw it outside?" Alphonso suggested with a frown.

"No, are you stupid? Teacher would definitely know if we do that!" Amber immediately retorted.

"Then what?" Alphonso asked.

Oliver sighed, "You all have storage artifacts, right? Someone just store it inside."

"Oh!"

Their eyes lit up. "Indeed, that's the best way!" Amber said excitedly.

Amber excitedly said, if they stowed away this in their storage artifacts then there was no way their teacher was ever going to find it unless they showed it to her themselves.

"Great, absolutely genius! Hurry up, we should do it right now!" Alphonso excitedly said to them.

"I am not storing that stuff in my artifact," Oliver stated firmly. There was no way he was putting that abomination in his space. Either Alphonso or Amber had to do it.

"I don't want to stain my storage space either." Amber said and pouted at him and then looked at Alphonso.

Oliver also looked at him.

"Ugh!" Seeing the two of them corner him so quickly, he didn't have any way out.

He glanced around desperately, searching for any possible excuse to avoid the task, but found none. Resigned, he let out a heavy sigh.

He groaned, realizing he had no escape. He glanced at the two silent girls at the table, still observing the scene.

No! He could not ask two ladies to do it for him! How ungentlemanly would that be.

In the end, he had no choice but to put the food in his storage space.

'It's going to be a mess inside, how would I clean it.'

He sighed again, contemplating how to store the contents without contaminating his entire storage space.

"Hey, you guys, please help me out, I don't want to make a mess inside my storage space. You should know that there are potions and pills inside, if this toxic liquid touched those things, I would never be able to consume them..."

He asked in a bitted tone to the two in front of him.

"Well..." Oliver and Amber exchanged glances, realizing Alphonso had a point. Sacrificing his valuable items just to avoid eating the food wasn't fair.

They could not sacrifice his stuff just for this. Not only would it be too selfish on their behalf but also a huge waste of such precious resources.

"I have an idea."

Suddenly a voice sounded out, making both Alphonso and Amber startle from their deep thoughts as they pondered about what should be done.

They turned their heads towards the source of the voice and looked with wide eyes.
