Chapter 16: Sharing Food
Amelia looked at the door suspiciously. "What is she trying to do now? Pretending to be sick?"
Riya looked at Amelia with a complicated expression. Considering that this door now weighed one ton, it would be a miracle if Valeria's legs were not hurt after kicking it forcefully.
Normal wood would absorb the force from the kick.
But this door.
Ehm…
"Maybe?" Riya said ambiguously.
Outside, Valeria felt that her legs would break. She looked at the door resentfully, but she knew that she wouldn't be able to kick it open. "Let's go and find another way."
"Yes." her roommate followed Valeria and sighed.
…
"They have left." Riya was still looking outside and only left after the matter was settled.
Amelia heaved a sigh of relief. "I was thinking whether to call the counselor about this or to call my family. Thankfully, she left without harming us."
Riya nodded.
She actually thought about teaching Amelia the magic method. But at the same time, she thought of Amelia's older brother and that familiar dangerous feeling. Perhaps, it was unnecessary for her to teach Amelia anything.
Her older brother should be able to teach her more.
Moreover, Riya was not sure whether Amelia had any talent to become a magician or not. Talent to become magician and warriors were different and required testing with some equipments and Riya didn't have those equipments with her.

Fourth Floor Block A Dormitory Group Chat
Ruby: What is that commotion? That cousin of yours come to pester you again, @pampered baby (Amelia)
Pampered baby (Amelia): Yes, don't worry, they've left.
I'm the prettiest girl (Sophia): Damn it, why are they also in the dormitory? I thought that they have left first and stay in their family house or something.
Little Soft (Riya): They might have something so they stay here.
Pampered baby (Amelia): it's still very annoying, though.
I want a red packet (Claire):
Ruby: Be careful then. When I'm opening the window in the living room to take sample, I didn't even dare to open too wide in fear that it would contaminate the entire living room.
Pampered baby (Amelia): Does the problem of food had reached to the point where people need to beg for others?
I want a red packet (Claire): This is mostly because the stores are closed now. No one had the time or mind to take care of their business because many of them ended up falling sick.
I'm a baby (Victoria): My eccentric sister is there? Just forget about her and don't worry so much. She should return to our parent's house to sue soon.
I'm the prettiest girl (Sophia): Are the food in your house enough, Victoria?
I'm a baby (Victoria): I'm staying with my grandparents and there are still channels to get packaged food. However, we still need to cleanse it a lot after receiving. Thankfully, it meant that we won't get hungry.
Little Soft (Riya): That's good.
Pampered baby (Amelia): If only you can share some food here. I'm bored with the food that Little Riya made.
Little Soft (Riya): …
Little Soft (Riya): Sorry for not being a good chef.
Little Soft (Riya):
I want a red packet (Claire):
I'm the prettiest girl (Sophia): I'm planning to go home soon. My parents are worried for me and going to fetch me soon. By the way, @Ruby, I don't remember there are a lot of food left at our dormitory. How did you cope up?
Ruby: I eat twice a day and eat more rice to make me full. It's not too healthy, but there are not many things left to eat.
Little Soft (Riya): We still have a lot of rice and eggs. How about if I send it to you? Your room is right across our room.
Ruby: But that would expose you to the mist.
Little Soft (Riya): We don't know how long this mist will last, I'll wear protection and take a bath right away after returning, so it will be fine.
Ruby: …Alright, I owe you one, Little Riya.
…
Amelia looked at Riya with complicated look. "Are you sure that you want to go out? It's dangerous."
"I can't just watch the people around me die, can I?" Riya looked at Amelia and shrugged.
She had been tempered in the magic world where deaths were extremely common. But from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to see anyone close to her die.
This naturally included Ruby, one of her friends.
"Alright, be careful." Amelia wanted to propose to be the one to come out, but she knew that her physical condition might not be any better than Riya. Her family also wouldn't allow her to go out.
