Chapter 50 The Food Battle

Snapping apart her disposable wooden fork, she murmured coolly, “You better stick to two plates max.

“Two and a half at the absolute most, or you’re gonna end up in the infirmary, and I’m sure as hell not carrying you.”

Noah let out a sharp, arrogant scoff.

He flared up instantly.

Like h*ll he would listen!

There was absolutely zero chance he was going to lose a food battle to a teenage girl.

In reality, though, Noah was completely outmatched.

By the time he was halfway through his second plate and feeling a sharp ache in his gut, Isabella had already cleared her fourth entree with a perfectly blank expression, stating flatly, “Take your time. I’m heading out.”

Having spent the entire lunch hour waging war against his own plate, how could Noah possibly let her walk away in triumph? He quickly lunged forward to block her path, barking, “I’m not eating the rest of this crap!

“I’ll just box it up and feed it to my dogs!

“What, you got a problem with that?”

He threw his chin up defiantly, reminding himself that it technically wasn’t wasting food.

What’s wrong with treating his purebred mastiffs to a gourmet lunch anyway?

In truth, the crushing humiliation of being out–eaten by a girl was absolutely eating him alive.

Seriously…

What kind of black hole does this girl have for a stomach?!

Does she literally never feel full?

Noah stared at Isabella with a mixture of profound frustration and intense skepticism.

Her waist was still completely slender without even a hint of a food baby!

Feeling the massive lunch backing all the way up to his throat, Noah gritted his teeth and ordered, “We’re walking around campus.

“I’m completely stuffed!

“Don’t tell me you aren’t feeling it too!”

Before Isabella could even open her mouth to shoot him down, he rushed to add, “Hannah and her little crew are definitely still lingering in the classroom, and I know for a fact you don’t wanna deal with their toxic garbage right now.

“Plus, it’s a terrible idea to pass out right after eating that much!

“She’s 100% gonna corner you and buzz in your ear the second you sit down.”

Isabella stared at him in deadpan silence.

She quietly swallowed the retort, Aren’t you supposed to be my human shield anyway?

But considering Noah looked like he was about to burst, fine; a casual stroll around the quad wouldn’t kill her.

“Sure.”

She murmured carelessly, entirely indifferent.

Noah let out a defiant grunt.

Turning on his heel, he led the way out of the dining hall.

As he marched, he clutched his midsection with a deeply pained grimace, completely miserable.

Watching him walk like a man suffering from severe, terminal constipation, Isabella couldn’t help but sigh.

Stepping forward to close the distance, she muttered, “Hold still for a second.”

Before he could react, her fingers lightly pinched his right wrist, sending a wave of bio–electric energy tightly bound with her telepathic aura straight into his nervous system, expertly stimulating his target pressure points to immediately soothe the violent spasms in his digestive

tract.

The exact second she felt his muscles relax, she pulled her hand back and said flatly, “Let’s go.”

Noah’s eyes widened in profound astonishment as he stared down at her, stammering, “You actually know medicine?”

The agonizing cramp in his gut had vanished into thin air in a fraction of a second.

“Yeah.”

Isabella replied flatly, her voice entirely cool.

Basic field medicine was a mandatory survival skill for anyone deployed to the front lines.

But Isabella was a special breed altogether.

Her raw telepathic focus could be honed to mimic the precise, microscopic physical manipulation of traditional acupuncture.

In fact, standard surgical needles couldn’t even match the depth and immediate efficacy of her energetic currents.

Consequently, back in her era, Isabella had gone out of her way to master both ancient traditional and cutting–edge modern medicine.

Her clinical capabilities would be considered absolutely elite even by twenty–fourth–century standards.

Noah remained completely mesmerized by her off–the–charts skillset.

“How the h*ll do you know how to do that too?

“Were you actually stranded in some remote backwoods, or were you secretly training in a high–tech black–ops facility?”

Realizing he had accidentally let slip a bit too much insider knowledge, he quickly clamped his mouth shut.

The inner drama surrounding the Powell household was child’s play for a family with the Waynes‘ massive intelligence network; it took a single phone call to uncover the truth.

That was exactly why Hannah’s petty little insinuations in class had never translated into explicit declarations.

That way, even if the entire grade mistakenly branded Isabella a dirty little illegitimate bastard, Hannah could easily play innocent and claim she had no idea how people reached that conclusion.
