Inna opened her eyes as she groaned in discomfort. Her throat felt so dry and her stomach hurts like hell.
"Fuck…"
She tried to sit up but she felt something rise up on her throat again.
"OH NO NO NO NO NO! YOU PLACE THAT DISGUSTING THING HERE!"
She heard a familiar voice as a bucket was shoved towards her. Looking up at the person who gave it, she saw Ulima pinching his nose as he looked at her in disgust.
Inna involuntarily vomited and the force of it made it splash around the bucket and land on Ulima's hand. The bucket shook slightly from Ulima's trembling as he stared at his hand with pure disgust.
"Hold the bucket yourself! I'll need to clean this smelly thing off my hand!"
He screamed as he gently handed her the bucket.
Then, he retrieved a cloth hanged from a chair and proceeded to wipe and dunk his hand in water continuously.
"What happened?"
"Some kid went came knocking on the door while carrying you. I took him inside and he went to your room directly which I find quite perplexi—"
"BUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPP!"
Inna let out a huge and long burp as she patted her stomach satisfyingly. Meanwhile, when he realized that he just cut off by a burp, Ulima's face scrunched up in disgust.
"You…. I seriously doubt if you're even a woman. Who burps in public like that?!"
"Wait, what do you mean 'in public'? Who the hell holds in their burps?!"
Ulima didn't want to entertain such a ridiculous and obvious question to he decided to move on.
"And then, he told me that during your match in the Class Change Battles, you suddenly vomited and fainted. Then, to let you rest, he decided to bring you in here."
"I see."
Inna suddenly felt pain in her throat and noticed that it was incredibly dry.
"Can you hand me some water?"
Ulima took a glass of water from a floating tray before giving it to her.
While drinking, Ulima continued speaking to her.
"Then, he told me you were sick from eating those rat steaks and I believe it was twelve steaks? What kind of girl eat so much? Even the female adventurers I knew would take precaution in eating those disgusting steaks!"
Inna spat out the water as she tried to comprehend what he just said.
"RAT STEAKS?! WHAT THE FUCK?! DID YOU SAY RAT STEAKS?!"
Inna screamed as another surge of vomit formed in her mouth. Now this time, the reason was no longer her overeating.
"BUCKET! HOLD THE BUCKET!"
Ulima screamed in reply as he realized that Inna let go of the bucket to drink the water.
After vomiting in disgust, Inna felt so weak that she accidentally let go of the bucket and roughly laid down on the bed.
The bucket crashed to the ground but in Ulima's relief, it didn't tilt and splash its contents.
Ulima carefully approached Inna's bedside as she laid there weakly.
Since he was a mage, he had no healing abilities. He was actually thankful that the lad who carried her here healed him fully. But one good thing about not having healing abilities is the fact that he held an acceptable degree of medical knowledge.
He looked at her symptoms and her pale face and had a guess on what she was suffering from.
"Hey, did you feel pain in your chest before you vomited?"
Inna nodded, too weak to reply.
"Any dizziness? Burning throat? Uncomfortable stomach pains?"
She nodded again.
"You should drink water first. You vomited too much that you must be dehydrated. That's what caused you to faint earlier. So, if you don't want to faint again, drink up."
He offered her another glass of water and Inna slowly rose to drink it.
After drinking two glasses, she laid back down again.
"Okay, so from what I know, West Molian rats have a small dose of poison within their system. They usually use it to corrode the hard to digest things like bones of their prey. When they are taken and cooked into, let's say steaks, their poison in the steaks isn't usually enough to affect humans. But since you just ate a dozen of them, that little poison, multiplied by a dozen affected your stomach and made you suffer stabbing pains in the heart and throat. While the other symptoms are probably just from you eating too much."
Inna nodded in understanding as she reached out to take more water.
After a few minutes of just laying down in silence, she felt a bit better and the discomfort in her stomach was gradually getting better.
Seeing the color come back from her face, Ulima decided to leave to let her rest.
"I'll just be in my room in the first floor."
Ulima was about to move when Inna's voice made him stop.
"Where's Raghnall?"
Ulima turned around to answer her.
"He was called back by Ms. Grindle to attend the closing ceremony of the first day. It is usually just a ceremony where they give you your blue robes as proof of being freshmen and class pins to know which class you belonged. You'll probably received yours later on. In fa—"
"Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttttt!"
Ulima looked at Inna in disbelief.
First he got cut off by a burp, and now a fart?!
"That's it. I am thoroughly convinced that you are not a woman. You must be an animal. No one would be this undisciplined and unmannered in public!"
Inna giggled as the discomfort of her stomach was eased by the farting.
Suddenly, she felt a faint scent of a strong odor wafting around the room.
Ulima immediately ran out of the room as soon as he smelled it.
"Ugh... Disgusting!"
