Soon they were outside their classroom, after making sure they weren't rough looking they walked in. It was the first official day for all the new recruits in the academy, making the lessons and classes they had a bit longer than usual since lecturers had to do long introductions, of everything that they needed to know about the academy and the world war which was referred to first as the first universal civilization war.
While the class was going on Bernard and Ryan would feel their heart skip every now and then when the classroom door opens, they didn't know if they were in the same block as those boys however after a while they soon realize no one was coming in again and felt relief.
They had tried their best to look cool and not as frightened little kittens, with every person that walked through the door.
Soon they were sure that they had not only avoided the boys but also most students with a rank level higher than their own, with no one deliberately looking for their trouble or intentionally trying to pick on them they heaved a sigh of relief.
After a while of lecturing the teacher dropped the glass tab on the desk, signifying that the lesson was over and yet another time for them to have their dinner.
Once the lesson was over everyone immediately swarmed outside almost like they had been waiting for the class to finish, with their next destination being the cafeteria. On the way both Bernard and Ryan duck their heads, to avoid unnecessary eye contact with anyone, as they walked Bernard held his stomach tightly bas he realized once again he was hungry, making it seem his stomach had widened further.
The moment they walked into the cafeteria, they took their plates as they walked toward the bionic mechanical assistant who then filled their plates with the food of their choice. As he held the tray in his hands, Bernard could barely hold his urge. The enthusiasm in his eyes was to the point that if his eyes had mouths they would have long devoured the food.
Once they sat down people looked at them, before they continued to eat their food again compared to before there were two people that were absent this time, one being Sophia and the other Emelia.
Ryan looked around him a bit, meeting those eyes and as well avoiding them before looking at Bernard, as he said."Do you think they will come?" He said, with a slight look of worry, however, a few seconds later he realized there was no reply, so he raised his head only to realize damn Bastard wasn't even paying attention to him but to the food in front.
"Seriously man don't tell me you weren't even paying attention to what I have been saying." He said looking at Bernard with dejection, whose eyes had been on the food the entire time, after he noticed the glare from Ryan he briefly look at him before letting out an inaudible muffled sound to confirm he was listening.
Looking at his friend gulping up the food like hell he hadn't eaten for a long time, he couldn't help but do a synchronized version of a facepalm to himself.
Even though he wanted to continue talking, he knew he would only be speaking to himself if he did, sighing with resignation he also began to eat as well.
This time there was a long silence, except for the constant munching sound that resounded in the air, no one wanted to speak and had their attention on their food.
After a while of getting his stomach stuffed, Bernard soon returned to reality as he began to look around the cafeteria as if he was looking for someone.
"Hey Ryan, I don't see Sophia or Emelia?" Bernard suddenly said, hearing what he said he nearly choked on his food as he glared at him.
Ryan gritted his teeth," It would be much better if you could just shut up and continue eating." He let out.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his expression and harsh words Bernard asked, with a look of confusion and innocence like a child who had been wrongly accused of something.
"Nothing." Was what he said out loud, this was him trying his best not to bite the dude out of frustration.
After waiting for a while, Ryan was done eating so they both stood up and decided they should head towards the toilet and then finally head to their dorms. A moment later, both of them had relieved expressions the moment they walked out, they were sure anyone who would go there at this moment would surely be courting death, after releasing two mini suns in the boys' toilet.
Once they were close to their dorms, to their surprise they realized that both Sophia and Emelia were both standing outside almost like they had been waiting for their arrival. When they looked at Emelia she smiled at them with the usual slight shyness, almost like the whole snapping up and furiously storming off had never even occurred in the place, making both boys surprised.
'Was this why they said the most dangerous species were women?' They both had the same thought inwardly.
"Hey, I didn't see you guys at the cafeteria?" Bernard shook his head and reminded, after a brief spaced out.
