It was fascinating how Roud's smile made a few people take a step back.
However, it wasn't long before they gritted their teeth in determination.
The ruffian who started it all, resud his eye contact with Roud.
"In case you're deaf, I'll repeat myself:... Dog man, we want so goddamn food or we ain't going anywhere!"
"Yeah!!"
"That's right. You tell him!"
Several fists raised high in protest.
Fuhm-fuhm-fuhm-fuhm~
[A revolution is it?]
Roud grinned with amusent.
[Little puppies, I didn't think you all had the terity to threaten after your little adventure. It seems you still have energy within you after all... Nevertheless...]
Roud massaged his chin mischievously.
[I suppose it is sowhat unfair to have you go through the next one without fuel.]
Almost imdiately as if on cue, a loud beeping noise echoed..
BEEP~
It was so loud it caused everyone's heart to jerk.
"What's going on?"
"Take cover!"
Many were quick on their feet, getting up and leaning so close to the walls it seems they wanted to beco one with the room.
Rumble~
The grounds shook; and at the very center, a puny pot expanded into a larger circle.
It all happened in a blink of an eye, expanding and expanding into a chanical circular pattern.
"Look!" Soone exclaid, with dropped jaws and a salivating mouth.
FOOD.
Against the clamor of the chanical noise, was a mountain of food beautifully arranged in the grand round table.
As the enormous table ascended from below, they spotted all sorts of delicacies.
The scent also bombarded their nostrils like an exploding missile.
How cruel...
This food should have long been prepared for them since it was already arranged this much.
So if they didn't put their foot down and demand for it, does it an they would have gone out on an empty stomach for the next test?
Many felt dizzy just thinking of it.
Luckily, they were smart enough to stand their grounds.
Now, it was ti to FEAST.
.
.
"Everyone, hold it! I'll be the one calling the shots!"
The bully from earlier and his gang were the first to approach the table.
'Since I was the one who stood up and made it possible for everyone to feats, then I clearly deserve to have dibs.'
The bully swayed forward arrogantly.
'So manly.'
Hulga felt a sense of pride when marching forth in the protective custody of the bully.
With a deep sneer, she huffed Levon's way, in an attempt to show off her superiority
'Look, didn't I tell you two that you will regret it?'
The Bully, Hulga, and the rest of their gang arrogantly matched forth.
"This..."
Many wanted to protest but didn't say a thing.
Luckily, there was more than enough food for 5 tis the current population of survivors.
This fact made them feel relieved.
Soon, the bullies allowed everyone to step forth; and at this mont, the onlookers who have long been salivating, rushed in without delay.
"Wow! This smoked chicken is so juicy and tender. Worthy of its tender cheeks."
"Aiiieeeee... How co water is pouring out so easily from my manly eyes? I missed this so much. Who would have known that I would miss Bogrewn Chicken?"
" too. I used to hate this dish with a passion. But now, why do I feel like it's the best thing man has ever made since the invention of sliced bread?"
"So crunchy... so good... The apples are also very juicy. I should probably take so in my pockets for later. Who knows when these crazy people will give us food again?"
"Tyahhh, this fruit wine is just right. Although my parents forbade to drink with the underage excuse, which delinquent can say they've never drank alcohol before?"
"That's right, I still can't believe they're letting us have booze. Well, it's not like it's my first ti drinking it, and my parents aren't here to nag to death. So what's the harm that can happen with just a little sip?"
"Great! After drinking chilled water, I feel alive!"
"Wow! They have chocolate cakes too? How sweet! The cherry really blends well with the savory taste from the cake."
.
.
(Munch, munch, munch)
Several people stuffed their mouths in food.
Their faces were tainted with stains and crumbs, but they didn't stop or care
"Hey, what's their deal? Why don't they co join us?"
A few noticed that Levon, Floriana and a few others, didn't step up to take a bite.
Was there a special reason for this, or could it just be pride?
Before they could think further, Shugo sprung up, approached the table and took 6 apples from the table greedily.
Then he returned, gave 2 to Levon, and bit into the first one.
So also rose up and did the sa as Shugo, grabbing fruits and heading back to lean against the walls.
Then, they closed their eyes, not taking a bite.
"_" [Everyone else]
Hmph!
Several people rolled their eyes heavenwards.
So it's pride then?
During their ti, they had noticed this strange group of people.
It would be a lie to say they weren't jealous of how calm, collected and smart these people were.
Of course, they also felt that these people were definitely full of SHIT and PRIDE.
"Tch, don't bother with them. What's the point of acting tough when your belly keeps rumbling?"
"What a bunch of fools. Mark my words, they won't last long on an empty stomach."
"Yeah... even if they Garba few fruits now, what difference will that make in the long run?"
Many munched and cursed.
Everyone was surprised that Roud was kind enough to give them 20 minutes to eat their fill.
BEEP.
The loud beep echoed out once more, resulting in the table lowering back into the ground from where it ca.
Then, the floors sealed up, resuming to their earlier state.
[... Satisfied?]
Roud's voice echoed like nightly whispers.
Several people nodded, wiping their mouths with the back of their hands.
Satisfied was an understatent.
They've eaten so well that their next mode of action is to find a way to relieve themselves.
But if they say so, will this man still heed to their request?
Fufufufufufu~
Roud leaned closer to the screen.
[I'm glad you've eaten to your heart's content. I take it, we can now begin Examination 3?]
Many people nodded while smacking their bellows in satisfaction.
Begin. Why not?
[Now then, I must say congratulations to you for making it through to the final test–]
Everyone had smiles on their lips, but Roud wasn't done yet.
[Congratulations for making it through... those who didn't take a bite.]
