BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125: Finally Home 2
Having twisted the knob, Nolan pushed open the door, finding it unmoving, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He rewound the knob in a certain special rhythm, and then it finally opened up as he stepped into the room, the door shutting close.
What greeted his gaze was the familiar living room and he walked forth, scanning around the room.
The doorknob was just as he had specially left it, meaning most likely no one even touched his door knob throughout his duration.
So it was safe to say that the sanctity of his room was still kept.
And so, he placed down the bag onto the side before immediately heading into the kitchen.
The last time Nolan had eaten was exactly five days ago, and the only thing he had used to survive the mission were juice boxes.
Now, he needed something good.
Entering into the kitchen, his mouth almost watered when he saw the filled wardrobe, and without a single more second, he quickly got to work, quickly cooking up something delicious for himself.
Forty-five minutes passed from cooking before finally, Nolan finished his cooking
"You really would end up destroying your stomach one day..." the system said to him, referencing the fact that Nolan cooked so much.
But suddenly,
KNOCK
KNOCK
KNOCK
The sound of someone knocking on the door could suddenly be heard as Nolan\'s eyes narrowed, and he immediately walked towards the door.
He had barely arrived back to his dorm room in less than an hour, and there was already someone knocking at his door?
What did he do this time?
CLINK! Nolan\'s hand moved towards the knob and opened it up, only to find a familiar face looking at him.
His eyes flashed in surprise as he sighted the figure and bowed a little.
"Instructor Tiamat!"
Yes! The impromptu visitor was Instructor Tiamat, and according to Nolan\'s memories, that had never happened before.
"Nolan, I heard that you\'re back from the mission," Instructor Tiamat said as Nolan opened his door wide, allowing her in.
"I came back just now. It\'s been barely an hour..." Nolan said as Instructor Tiamat\'s nose perked up, sensing the faint smell in the air.
Nolan excused himself, running into the kitchen.
"Wow, he can cook? Who taught him how?"
Instructor Tiamat wondered in shock to herself as she settled on the sofa but was more than surprised when Nolan walked back into the room bringing with him a large tray of different dishes and a juice box.
"Is this all yours, or?" Instructor Tiamat asked, not able to believe this large amount of food was for only one person.
"It\'s not for me only. It\'s for you too," Nolan said as he set the tray on the table and sat down on the opposite sofa next to Instructor Tiamat, quickly settling the dishes on the table.
"Even if you aren\'t hungry, and I doubt someone at your power level will even feel hunger, at least eat it to see just how good the cooking skills of the \'trashiest\' in the academy are," Nolan said with a grin as Instructor Tiamat found her interest piqued.
Of course, she wouldn\'t normally eat impromptu food unless she was invited to a dinner party or something.
But then, Nolan\'s words had piqued her interest.
She had no idea that he could cook, and now he mentioned his cooking skills with such confidence.
It prompted her to grab the chopsticks, and she tasted one of the foods.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and Nolan\'s face beamed with pride.
"Pretty good, isn\'t it?" he asked her as Instructor Tiamat reluctantly nodded.
"Yeah, it\'s not bad," she said to him with a grin as Nolan sat down and immediately dived into the food, gulping down a large amount of his share within seconds, while Instructor Tiamat was more calm compared to him.
"It seems to me somebody didn\'t eat throughout the entire duration of his mission..." Instructor Tiamat said as Nolan\'s speed slowed down a little.
"Yeah, I took juice boxes though. A lot of juice boxes," he said to her.
"No wonder."
"The juice box also increases one\'s hunger factor after a long time of only using them," she explained to him, and Nolan\'s eyes flashed at the information.
Even he had no idea.
"So tell me, how was the mission given to you by Sir Astaroth?" she asked him with clear interest, and Nolan shrugged before replying.
"It was tough, but I had the best of the best Newcomers with me, so it was all fine in the end," Nolan claimed as Instructor Tiamat\'s eyes flashed with golden light.
"The best of the best Newcomers. Are you implying the Godly Ten?" she asked him, and Nolan nodded.
"You were allowed to go on a mission with the Godly Ten?" Instructor Tiamat said with quite the surprise in her voice, and Nolan decided to explain to her.
"The mission required eleven people to perfectly complete, so I was recommended to join by a member of the Godly Ten whom I met in the training room just a couple of days before the event."
"It seems my memory stuck in his head, and I ended up being recommended by him."
"That was how I joined them on the mission," Nolan explained, and Instructor Tiamat nodded.
Now she understood.
"So how did it feel, being on a mission with the Godly Ten?"
"How do you even view the ones who hold the respect of all, close to thousands of newcomers?"
"What do you think about them?" Instructor Tiamat asked him with interest.
"How do I feel? Hmm... I felt very surprised when I got into the room and found all ten."
"I was shocked beyond belief, that was for sure..." Nolan answered to Instructor Tiamat, whose amused gaze remained pressed on him.
"But then, I don\'t know. It\'s just not so surprising to me that much anymore."
"At least right now, it\'s nothing but a completed mission to me..."
