As it turned out, we were worrying for nothing.
The common cafeteria was… ridiculously large.
It was large enough to seat fifteen thousand kids comfortably, and feed them till their stomachs burst.
No matter how much the first thousand kids ate, they wouldn't be able to put a dent on the supply of the "good stuff".
Infinite food!
For street rats like me, it was heaven on earth!
We charged towards the blindingly bright light that was the cafeteria at full speed and burst out of the corridor triumphantly.
The ceiling, which was a decent four meters tall in the corridor, suddenly opened up to a full ten meters, and rows upon rows upon rows of tables and benches were lined up neatly in front of us, nearly filling up the enormous room.
And of course, because the central alarm had just rang, there were barely a thousand students there.
I quickly realized that we were rushing for nothing. All was well! All the good stuff were still safe!
"Ehm." I cleared my throat and tried to be as inconspicuous as possible as I transitioned from a full sprint to a casual walk within a split second.
However, with Barrick Rui and his 120kg body running at an even faster speed than me, there was no such thing as inconspicuous in the outcome of our mad sprint.
I was able to slow down instantly into a casual walk.
But Barrick Rui? Hell no.
He tried to stop, but alas! He was way too big, way too fast and way too close to the tables which were hidden behind the glare of the cafeteria's bright lights earlier!
BANG! CRASH!! BAAMMM!! BOOOMMMM!!! SCREEEEE!!!
He collided into the nearest table at full speed and caused it to crash at the benches and the next table at an angle, and then caused them to crash to the next ones, and the next ones, and the next ones as well!!
It was a spectacular… spectacle.
Unfortunately, or rather, thankfully, there was only one person caught within the "explosion" of tables and benches.
And wonderfully, for me, that person was none other than… Elder Harris!!
"Barrick! Are you alright? Oh my god, you look awful! Who the hell placed a table so close to the entrance of the corridor?!" I roared in "anger".
Have I told you that offence is the best defence? If I hadn't, then I am telling you now. And this story should help to cement that saying as the most powerful saying ever created by military strategists.
"Someone! Help! My friend Barrick crashed into a very badly placed table near the corridor!!" I shouted.
The nearest teacher instantly sprang to her feet and dashed towards us to rescue Barrick from his crash with ah, a very badly placed table.
Barrick Rui had slammed onto the first table with his two hands positioned in a cross to protect his belly and his little Barrick.
As a result, his arms were broken due to the massive impact caused by his great speed and great weight.
"Aohhhh." Barrick Rui groaned in pain as he laid there on the ground.
The teacher instantly took out an advanced healing serum and injected Barrick's broken arms with it.
Within seconds, his arms were as good as new!
"Hey there, little boy. You're okay now." The teacher said gently as she sighed with relief that everything else with Barrick seemed fine.
"Thank goodness. It would be a catastrophe if something serious happened to another kid, right after the fiasco that happened yesterday evening!" She murmured softly.
The teacher was a pretty young woman, probably in her early twenties.
She was very well endowed, and had a nearly perfect figure. In my opinion, she was a tad too well endowed. But for others, she was probably beyond perfect because of that.
Her red hair was tied up neatly into a bun above her head, revealing a beautiful neck and flawless complexion that would make the beauty queens of the world gag with jealousy.
Her white teaching attire and her black rimmed glasses made her the most beautiful teacher I had ever seen.
From Barrick's point of view, she was God's most beautiful angel sent down to bring light to his dark and gloomy world.
"Oh my god. I can't believe I died because of that stupid crash with a table." Barrick muttered as he gaped stupidly at the beautiful teacher.
"You're not dead yet, silly!" The teacher giggled at Barrick's cute expression and words.
"I'm not dead? How can angels lie? My pain instantly disappeared, and you appeared before me. If this isn't heaven, then where else could this be?" Barrick asked rather stupidly.
His brain must still be in shock or something.
"Uhm. The cafeteria? Haha!" The teacher laughed. "Come on, get up now. You're fine! I need to clean up this mess before the rest of the kids arrive."
"Huh?" Barrick Rui lifted his head a little, looked around and finally saw me smirking down at him from a few steps away.
"Oh thank god. I really am not dead. It's impossible for that bastard to be in heaven." He sighed with relief as he slowly pushed himself up to a sitting position.
"Hey, watch your words. I was the one who called for help! If not, you'd probably still be crying in pain right now." I said to him sternly as though the teachers wouldn't have heard the massive crash if I hadn't shouted for help.
I helped him to his feet and grinned at him. He grinned back at me stupidly.
However, his grin soon disappeared as he pointed to a spot behind me in horror.
"Huh? Is that… a human leg over there??" He shouted.
"Oh! Yes there was someone sitting on this table earlier. He must be the one who moved it so close to the corridor!" I shouted even louder in an accusing voice.
The pretty and very helpful teacher immediately leapt ahead to rescue the owner of the leg sticking out under a table.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ "Huh? Elder Harris? Are you alright??" She shouted in horror as she lifted the table covering him away.
"An Elder? An Elder actually did such a dangerous thing of blocking the main corridor? How could there be such aN irresponsible Elder?" I shouted in mock disbelief.
