Chapter 75: Too poor
In the infirmary, students could be seen grouching one after another as they just came back from their session with Klaus.
Klaus gave instructions not to completely heal any student so that their body could heal naturally and grow stronger like that on its own, those with minor injuries were ignored.
But of course those who don't want to wait for their body to heal on it's own can just use the healing potion if they wanted to but klaus already adviced against that also but won't force anyone as you can't really force anyone to be strong if they didn't want to besides Klaus didn't really care, he just gave the advice and left it at that.
Anthony and his friends could be seen walking out of infirmary without any injuries or bandages on their body.
Well, only the Storm brothers were actually injured in the first place which Evelyn healed just by waving her hand.
Although Klaus advised against healing the injuries, the Storm brothers had too little injury on their body for it to make any difference due to their ridiculous physique, they only didn't replenish their stamina and just rested in the infirmary so they could improve.
"Well, never thought I would get injured just by climbing a mountain, that's a first"
Bringer said as he looked at his hand, even though the injury already healed he still couldn't get over it, the mere fact that a stone could bypass his defence made him think he didn't train enough and has been playing around too much, it just didn't sit right with him.
"Don't over think it brother, incase you have forgotten that wasn't a normal mountain, even the mana in the air was greater than the one in the Academy, I'm sure you know the kind of person Professor Klaus is" Rider said as he cheered up Bringer.
"Let's go the cafeteria and eat, I'm starving like hell" Ross said.
Bringers eyes immediately brightened as he remembered the food he was supposed to eat but he forgot due to the training session they just had.
Bringer turned his head to Anthony and said with a smrik
"Hope you won't be going back on your promise right, that would leave a stain on your reputation you know"
Anthony frowned as he heards this, he was tired of this stupid guy named Bringer
'I can't get over the fact that the first person I'm buying food for since my reincarnation is a man with bulging muscles instead of a pretty girl like Vivian, I should have placed this food deal as wager during the bet when we climbed the mountain' Anthony thought as he looked at Bringer with disgust.
Then they all made their way to the cafeteria.
The cafeteria is divided into four floors, the higher you climb, the more expensive and rare the dish becomes making it worth the price.
From the third floor to the fourth floor, only mana dishes are sold.
Mana dishes are food that contain mana, which are prepared by people called mana chefs, people awaken this as their class.
Although normal people (people who haven't awakened, usually under the age of ten, since every living soul can use mana in this world) can eat mana dishes, they can't eat many of it, they can only eat a little due to their body not having mana and not being able to withstand it, if they eat more they can handle they would explode like a balloon.
The same applies to other people (those who have awakened), consuming more mana dishes than you could handle still leads to death by overfeeding.
The clique arrived at the cafeteria and walked directly to the fourth floor, normally they won't dare climb to the fourth floor but today was a special day, Anthony was going to pay, they had to dry his coffers as much as possible.
The more they climbed the lesser people they saw on each floor, they even met students of the second and third year at the second and third floor, showing how rich they were.
As they arrived at the fourth floor, they looked around as it looked empty, they only saw the chefs who stood at the floor at all times since anybody could come at anytime.
A waiter walked up to them and greeted them with a smile and led them to a table.
Anthony looked at the waiter who stood at the Master Rank fifth level and couldn't help but admire the Academy, using a Master ranker as a waiter was just too lavishing
They put together three tables and the thirteen of them sat together and the waiter handed them the menu.
As they went through the Menu they all sucked in cold air, as they saw the outrageous prices.
Even Bringer lost appetite as the saw the ridiculous price on the list.
The cheapest thing here cost 10,000 points, and that was water, no wonder this place was empty, you just taking a cup of water here could make you go broke.
"What the heck is the price" Arnold said.
"Is the water taken from the river of life, ten thousand points just a quech my thirst, I'm a water mage the fuck is this" Donna said.
The waiter didn't bother replying, he has seen this reaction way too many times, everyone who came here for the first time always complained then left immediately and came back when they are ready to spend or have enough points.
Even he (the waiter) too was stupified when he started working here and saw the price for the first time.
Anthony didn't know what to say, many of the food he ate he bought from the system resources so he didn't bother checking the price and just bought them.
Now he actually had to pay for something with his hard earned money and it was too much.
If Anthony didn't have millions of points, he would have gotten up from here and left.
'Well, it's not like I have anything I'm doing with these points so it's better to go on a spree here then, besides when I need points I could go to the arena and place a bet and I would be rich again' Anthony thought.
"Ermm, we could leave now if you want" Bringer said as he too was poor to even drink water here not to talk of even eating.
Anthony shook his head and said like a young master that of course he is.
"There is no need, I'm too rich to be bothered by these cheap prices, you can have whatever you want on the menu, after all I can't go back on my word that's a stain on my name, you are free to die of overfeeding"
Everyone was shocked that Anthony possessed such points to utter such words, but no one doubted him, so they immediately started ordering without delay.
The waiter too frowned, as this was the first time he was seeing someone so lavishing, he had to work his whole life in other to gather points to improve his cultivation steadily, he had decided to work for the Academy since he didn't like battles at all, although he could fight, but he just didn't like bloodshed, but that didn't make him naive of any sort, he too has his own fair share of bodies.
Besides what the Academy pays him was over two times what he would gain while fighting, while having protection and also means of buying anything his money could without having to worry about robbery.
The waiter served everyone as he controlled the wind element and carried everyone's food to their table without spilling anything, this shows years of experience he has on the job.
Everyone immediately dived in, while feeling dazed ones in a while as the food was too good and delicious in their tongues.
To taste food of this level, you need mana crystals in other to eat as high level mana chefs didn't need ordinary money like quarks.
Only low level mana chefs need quarks, and they don't cook food compared to this level.
Only Anthony wasn't lost in the taste as the food from the system was even better than this, so to him it was just normal.
The feast went on for thirty minutes before they were done.
Bringer rubbed his belly as he literally stuffed himself with food and a lot of drinks, he even dared to order takeout as he wasn't sure when next he would be here.
Others also ordered takeout, although they could do without food, it didn't matter to them, the food was too delicious to pass up.
The waiter took the bill from the chef as they calculated everything Anthony and his crew had eaten, even the chefs were stunned as they never prepared this amount of food at one sitting in the Academy.
The waiter was shocked when he saw the bill, but he didn't say anything and just gave it to Anthony with a smile befitting a professional.
Anthony's lips twitched as he saw the bill
"Let me see" Vivian said as she took the paper from Anthony's hand and her jaws dropped.
She just gave back the bill to Anthony and told the rest how much it cost.
It cost a total of 2.3 million points, they literally ate people's live savings here.
Anthony opened his Academy wrist watch and paid immediately without a second thought.
Others wondered where he got such amount of points from, even changing the corpse from the realm during the battle ranking exam won't give such points, Anthony didn't explain anything to anyone.
After paying the points, he looked at the waiter and transferred three hundred thousand points to him and then left without even waiting for a thank you.
Anthony only transferred those points cause he had unconsciously read the memories of the waiter who was an elf and saw how long he has come, Anthony sort of saw himself from his first life in the elf, although it wasn't the same.
He just transferred the points cause he was feeling nostalgic and he had no need for the points, if he has a need for the point, best believe Anthony won't give out even a single point as he was no saint nor was he compassionate.
