Breaking The Fourth Walls (A Douluo Dalu Fanfic) - Chapter 47

General Pov…

At the moment the five contestants who won the competition were now sitting in the Flenders office, which had a simplistic yet sophisticated grandeur.

The group of five tried to find things that they could discuss amongst themselves and tried to get to know each other on a more personal level.

Of course, four of them knew each other on a very personal level, this meant Tang san who already knew Xiao wu as his sister and something more but was too much if wuss to confess it.

Whereas the other two were Zhu zhuqing and Dai mubai who were awkwardly sitting next to each other but were unable to say anything to each other for the past few minutes.

Tang san knew that there would not be much to talk about at this rate, so he tried to talk to the girl who acted as their support during their matches but hid her head within her cloak only revealing a portion of her face.

“Umm… so uh, what was your name again?”, Tang san asked.

“Umm, its rongrong.” Ning rong rong replied while looking towards the floor.

Tang san smiled and answered, “Well, my name as you already know is Tang san and this is…”

“Xiao wu!!! And I am really wondering what type of spirit that you have, that supported us throughout the matches.” Xiao wu blurted out without letting Tang san finish his sentence.

Ning rong rong only revealed her smile and made a conversation between Xiao wu and herself as she told her what type of spirit she had without revealing too much about herself.

However, Dai mubai spoke out saying, “You’re from the Glazed tile sect, are you not.”

Whereas Xiao wu got annoyed and said, “Yeah!!! And so what if she’s from the Glazed tile sect, can’t you see that she doesn’t want to talk about it.”

Dai mubai looked offended and quickly countered saying, “Well I did not mean anything by it, I just wanted to know why a person from that sect would want to come this academy, especially someone with abilities like that.”

Xiao wu was about to retort but was stopped by Tang san who held her hand while shaking his head.

Ning rong rong who had been silent after what Dai mubai stated said, “I just came here to meet someone who helped me become stronger when I was younger.”

Everyone in the room went silent and tensed up while looking towards Ning rong rong.

Dai mubai quickly asked, “Do you know the name of this person who helped you become stronger.”

Ning rong rong took a moment to reply, “No I don’t.”

Everyone then relaxed but only tensed up the next second when Ning rong rong added, “However, he gave me a method to do so.”

Tang san and Xiao wu looked at each other whereas Dai mubai and Zhu zhuqing saw the strange expressions that each of them had.

Dai mubai unconsciously said, “That’s funny, cause I knew someone who did the same for me.”

Tang san and Xiao wu looked at each other and felt as if something was going on here.

Zhu zhuqing who was silent throughout the whole conversation spoke out asking, “Have any of you met a senior who gave you a cultivation manual that coincidentally best suits your spirit and progress. If so raise your hands.”

Everyone raised their hands and the room went so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Tang san then asked something that broke the others out of their stupor, “When did you guys meet this senior?”

“About 4 years ago…”

“Nearly 4 years…”

“I think 4 years ago…”

Everyone in the room once again went silent as they felt something, like a puzzle slowly piecing itself together.

However, before any single one of them could figure anything else out, the door behind them opened revealing Flender along with Oscar and Ma hongjun.

The aroma of the snack was something that Flender and Ma hongjun himself have gotten used to, however Tang san and the others who had not eaten anything before the exams were enticed by the aroma emitting from Ma hongjuns snack. Tang san and the others had their faces scrunched up from their unbearable hunger, Ma hongjun noticed and asked, “Are you guys hungry?”

Dai mubai being the one who was most prideful of the group stated, “No we are not.”

Only to be betrayed by his stomach that disagreed with him otherwise, “Growl…Ggrr.”

Dai mubai quickly sat down while trying to hide his embarrassment, whereas the others also tried to focus on Flender or something else to get their minds off of Ma hongjuns snack.

Oscar who was previously standing behind rthe others reacted by snatching Ma hongjuns snack and distributing it to the others.

Ma hongjun was of course mad at Oscars actions but did not complain, as he had gotten used to this behavior of his.

Meanwhile as Oscar distributed Ma hongjuns snack to Tang san and the others, the latter felt a sense of familiarity from Oscar.

As each of them took a nugget from Oscars hand they focused on its cylindrical shape along with its rough crust that seemed hard but soft if they added just the right of pressure.

All four of them wondered as they got a piece how this small nugget was able to produce that intoxicating aroma that they never smelled before.

The two continued to look into each others eyes and were silent as they seemed to be entangled in the moment, of course Oscar broke the silence between them as he asked, “Would you like a piece?”

Ning rong rong hid her face within her cloak as she nodded her head, Oscar smiled and resisted the urge to hug her at that moment.

Otherwise the others and Ning rong rong herself would have been in an awkward situation, as he did not want to leave that kind of first impression on them.

The others could not tell but if she was not wearing that cloak they would see the woman that Oscar himself fell in love with.

After giving them a nugget the others still hesitated to eat it, however Oscar gestured for them to take a bite.

The first one to do so was Xiao wu who was the most curious, as she took a bite of the crust and then into the chicken meat she tasted various flavors and spices that complimented the chicken meat.

Little did she know that the same aroma wafted towards Tang san and the others nose, but she could have cared less as she devoured the nugget and asked Oscar for more.

Oscar gave it to her as the bag had 20 more nuggets inside it, he then gave her a piece which Xiao wu nearly swallowed.

The others soon followed as they themselves were triggered by the nugget and wanted more of it.

The scene would have looked like Oscar was feeding pigeons, but at the moment in Oscars eyes they looked lions who would have eaten him instead if he did not give them more nuggets.

Flender who was sitting in his table looked at the scene unfolding in front of hims and said, “Once you are done eating, lets get back on track.”

The meeting then began concerning the formation of what Oscar knew as the Shrek’s devils, but there was going to be slight change to it.
