Chapter 124 I wish I was the food
“I am so tired… Huff…” Dennis slumped on the classroom desk he was sitting on and said in a tired tone.
Lith and Ralph nodded their heads, agreeing with Dennis. They too were tired, not physically but mentally. The classes were too exhausting and most importantly, boring.
They had four two-hour lectures and only one fifteen-minute break after the first two lectures. Because all four classes were theory-based, everyone was required to sit and listen to the instructors.
The trio had to attend general classes like these at least once a week and today was that day. Even though they were bored to tears by it, they were helpless and couldn’t skip them.
“I am hungry. I need food.” Dennis said while being in the same slumped position.
“I am hungry too. The cafeteria is near. Let’s go there.” Lith added from the side.
Ralph, like usual, didn’t speak much and simply nodded his head, indicating his approval. The three got up and left for the cafeteria present on the ground floor of the main building.
The main building had fifty floors among which twenty five floors had classrooms. The rest of the floors were for miscellaneous purposes such as some had a library, some specimen rooms, some practical labs, etc.
The cafeteria was present on the ground floor. It had many counters, tables and chairs. With various types of students coming to hang out over here, it was built pretty huge to accommodate everything.
There were myriad types of food available. Students and staff alike could purchase them via their monthly credits. There was free food available as well, but although limited in variety, it was still as delicious as the food that costs money.
Abalax World Academy provided the best things to their students and food being an important resource to everyone, they naturally didn’t sting on it either.
A few people noticed the trio as soon as they reached the cafeteria. From these few, the word spread to the others and within a few seconds, everyone’s gazes were on the trio.
The three ignored the people’s gazes and went to one of the counters, where Dennis ordered an extra large bowl of ramen along with a side of karaage. His choice of food is influenced by the anime he watches, with karaage and ramen being mentioned quite a few times in it.
Ralph got himself a few pieces of French toast with powdered sugar, a chocolate filled croissant and an extra large mango milkshake. He never mentioned it but from the food he always had, Lith and Dennis deduced that Ralph had a sweet tooth. He hardly ate things which weren’t sweet, with his beverages being sweet too.
Thus, Lith found no problems with the food here. He was actually a bit excited about the food present here, as back on earth, he was from a middle class family,so he hardly ever got the chance to try out various other cuisines present.
However, it was a different case now. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth all thanks to his mother. He was the Vampire Prince and being from the Clan that ruled all over an entire main race, he was filthy rich.
Though that was the case, he wasn’t a wastrel. He hardly used the wealth he had. In the academy too, he didn’t need to use money at all. He was a topper so everything was free. This was one of the merits of being a topper. Ralph and Dennis had everything for free as well, so they didn’t need to waste their monthly credits on it too.
Taking their food, the trio went to a table nearby and seated themselves on the chairs attached to it. Putting a piece of karaage in his mouth, Dennis exclaimed happily while chewing it, “man, this fried chicken is so nice! Ralph, you should try it.”
“Idiot, close your mouth and finish your food first before speaking.” Ralph said, knitting his brows and took a sip of his mango milkshake.
Lith didn’t join in on their conversation and got busy eating the bowl of biryani present. He was eating it with his hands and took a sip of soft drink present in between.
Everyone present in the cafeteria paid the utmost attention to what the toppers were doing. Looking at the food they were having, some of them went ahead and ordered the same thing.
“Nyaa~ can you believe it? Lord Ralph is drinking a milkshake hihihihi.” A girl from the Cat Tribe of the beastkins said excitedly and wagged her tail.
“What’s there to believe? It’s normal. Can Lord Ralph not even have a milkshake now?” A werewolf girl replied nonchalantly to the catgirl.
“Nyaa~ I wish I was the food on Lord Ralph’s table nyahahahaha.” The catgirl said happily.
“You idiot cat. Watch your foul mouth.” The werewolf girl replied.
Such a conversation happened at many places and such lewd talks were done only for Ralph as the ones who liked Lith talked about how they would kidnap him, then, protect and cherish him due to how pretty and innocent he looked.
As for Dennis, he was once again foreshadowed due to the weaker and younger girls lusting over Ralph and the older and stronger girls fawning over Lith.
Meanwhile…
At another table in the cafeteria, a human girl said to her human boyfriend present beside her, “look, look, how handsome and dashing Lord Ralph is. If only, if only I could spend a day and night with him, my life would be complete. Ahh~ how I wish I could be the one Lord Ralph is having in his mouth.”
The human boy gritted his teeth and slammed the table in anger, shocking his girlfriend. He couldn’t take it anymore. Ever since his girlfriend saw Ralph, she has been head over heels for him. Had it not been for Ralph being out of reach for her, she would’ve already broken up with him.
The boy knew about this and felt like a loser in front of his own girlfriend. He couldn’t take it anymore. He got up from his seat and began walking towards where the trio were sitting.
As he walked, he thought, ‘I really do not believe that you can be stronger than me by a whole level. We are all elites of the world and got into this academy because we are strong.
You may be strong, but I don’t think by a huge margin. I’ll defeat you today, Ralph Asmodeus and show my girlfriend and the whole world that you aren’t as great as what they make you out to be.’
