Van got up after saying this and patted max on the shoulder while saying, "Well what are you waiting for let's get going, I'd rather the food not get cold on us."
The group exchanged glances collectively deciding not to ask any more questions. As they all began to walk out of the training hall to eat dinner together.
They quickly arrived in the dining hall where a beautiful orientation of food was laid out across the table.
"Uhh are our rations enough to last us with all this food?" Max asked immediately after seeing such a large and lavish layout of food. He was the most familiar with knowing how much food was a good serving and how much was a feast, he opened his own restaurant for crying out loud.
"Don't worry master Max it's is only a single days ration from each of your 30 day stock. Also the fact that you all trained through lunch allowed us to make such a large layout of food." The male servant replied assuring them that they hadn't gone over their rations for a single day.
Hearing this it made sense as Max dropped the subject and began inspecting all of the dishes. After hearing the subject dropped and seeing Max eyeing the food, the group also began to look at all the dishes, there was a sandwich platter filled with what had to be almost 40 sandwiches there was also a large pot with a soup that carried a very aromatic fragrance that mostly smelled of meat while having tinges of a sweet aroma.
There was also a casserole type dish that obviously had melted and crisped cheese atop making their mouths water. They weren't that hungry before coming here but being reminded they skipped a meal and seeing so many delicious looking dishes on the table the inner glutton in every single last one of them began to expose its self as they started putting as much food they could on a plate.
Especially the orphans they only ate 14 different meals at the orphanage. Everyday would be the same thing as 2 weeks ago on the same day. It was extremely redundant and cyclic but after a while it was just normal so seeing so many different dishes here they could easily eat themselves to explosion if it was possible, however it was simply impossible.
They all ate until it was physically impossible for them to eat anymore, even though they hadn't done anything physical today the training they went was mentally exhausting and still had it's effects on their minds and bodies.
After eating until all of them had a physical belly poking out they returned to their rooms and laid down for the night.
The entire first week went like this with every night there being an new and even more delectable dish than the night before. The group continued to train in the tubes and had even started practicing using what they had learned in the real world at the training hall. Van had decided to start doing his meditation in his room so he didn't get in the way and he wasn't disturbed in the middle of what felt like discovering something anymore.
And like this a week passed by before any of them could even realize it, the only ones keeping track of time were Van, Max, Erika and Elise the rest were so immersed in their training and the delicious meals they forgot they were only on the borderlands of hell, it was like they were in the best fantasy dream they had ever experienced and a reality check definitely wasn't what they wanted right now.
