32 Training with Xiao Yao (1/2)

There was a small number of disciples entering and exiting the dining hall at this time, more than in the morning, but still not that many.

Sofie dragged Xiao Yao, who had stopped struggling, inside of the dining hall.

”C-can you release me now?” Xiao Yao said with a blush on her face, embarrassed by being dragged through the entire sect grounds by a girl smaller than her.

”huh? Ah, okay. Come let's get something to eat quickly! You have not eaten anything for breakfast, so you must be really hungry, right!?” Sofie said enthusiastically as she released Xiao Yao from her grip.

”Actually I don't eat so much, so I'm not really that hungry-”

”Right…?” Interrupting what Xiao Yao was talking about, Sofie put on a splendid smile as she looked up at Xiao Yao.

”Y-yes” Xiao Yao was frightened by the sudden change in Sofie and quickly changed her answer.

”Good! Let's go and get something to eat.” Sofie said while making her way over to the tables filled with food.

Like in the morning, there were a few tables filled with all kinds of food, but you could also order something from a menu if you wanted to.

The food on the tables were mostly things like fruits, nuts, salads and other easy to eat things.

Sofie of course took a little of everything and had a plate dedicated to fruits and nuts in one hand, while the other hand had a plate filled with one of the world's greatest salad mixes.

Satisfied, Sofie sat down at a table. Waiting for Xiao Yao to get something to eat as well.

”Hello, would you like to order anything?” A waiter stopped by the table Sofie sat down at and asked. Clearly not seeing the giant pile of food on the two plates in front of her.

”Y-yes, please just pick something that tastes good for me!” Sofie said to the waiter as she didn't really feel like wanting to ponder over what to pick and just wanted to start eating the different fruits and salad mix on the plates in front of her.

”Sure, I will get todays special for you.” The waiter still oblivious to the plates already filled with food in front of Sofie wrote something down and made his way back to the kitchen, it was really a wonder how he missed the food in front Sofie…

”I really don't understand how you can eat so much…” Xiao Yao said as she moved to a chair on the other side of the table, sitting directly in front of Sofie.

”Hm? You just…? Eat?” Not really understanding what Xiao Yao failed to understand, Sofie just looked over the 'small' portion of food in front of Xiao Yao.

A simple salad and a few fruits and nuts on the side, that was everything present on Xiao Yao's plate.

”You should eat more! Mother always used to say it was good to eat a lot!” Sofie said in a lecturing tone of voice. Clearly trying to educate Xiao Yao about the wonders found in eating a lot of food.

”N-no thanks, this is more than enough for me to eat…!”

So that is where it is from!?

Xiao Yao thought to herself, as she tried her best to refuse the food Sofie generously offered to her.

…

Time passed and both Xiao Yao and Sofie soon finished eating.

”So, what should we do now? Go back?” Sofie asked turning her eyes away from the empty plates and towards Xiao Yao.

”Hm… Have you been to the sects training ground yet?” Xiao Yao asked Sofie instead of answering her question.

”No, what is the sects training ground?” Sofie asked curiously, while waiting for an answer.
