" One kid who'd made snuff near vomited . Phil didn't bat an eye .

" Lorrayne maintained her composure while inwardly debating if enrolling in this school had been a huge mistake . Her classmates mirrored her stoic look , torn between gnawing hunger and sheer disgust . Enemas were the height of fashion for the he upper crust - plenty of Highborn ladies enjoyed one with their afternoon snacks , and gentlemen often followed dinner with the procedure . In this day and age , if you hadn't tried an enema , you could hardly call yourself proper Highborns . The issue was , these students were still kids - they weren't old enough to deal with that sort of equipment . They'd caught snippets from their parents about " going for an enema , " sure , but personal experience ? Not yet . Worst of all , Phil hadn't breathed a word about the fragrance blends being for enema potions when he assigned the project , so they'd all thrown themselves into it with gusto . Now , learning their carefully crafted perfumes , snuffs , and ointments were destined for ... that ? No way in hell . If they'd paused to really consider it , the pieces fit - this was Potioncraft Class , after all . A fragrance task in Potioncraft Class ? It had to tie into medical treatments , not just pretty smells . They'd been too pumped about the spices to see the bigger picture . L Lorrayne eyed the soupy residue in her spoon , certain she'd never view aspic the same again . She fished out a handkerchief , dumped the goo , wiped the spoon spotless , and slipped it back into the iron box . Gurgle- A prolonged , booming stomach growl rang out from close by . It boomed so loudly that even Phil up front caught every note , halting mid - sentence to The class pivoted as one , gaping in astonishment at the culprit girl . Total legend This gross - out lecture hadn't curbed her hunger one bit - what a powerhouse appetite ! Their stares blended envy with a hint of the bizarre . peer back . Lorrayne glanced over and spotted the girl yanking her eyes away from her direction , slapping her hands over a face gone crimson . As the staring dragged on , the girl snapped , yanking her hands down to bark , " Yeah , I'm famished to the point of delirium - so sue me ! " Aren't the rest of you starving too ? " Don't tell me you wouldn't kill for a bite right now ? " She unleashed her trio of gut - punch queries , then , deciding she was committed anyway , swung toward Lorrayne with a casual shrug . " Sweetie , mind if I snag just one taste of your fragrance jelly ? Fin about to lose it here " The room plunged into an eerie hush , every gaze stealthily locking onto Lorrayne , She shot a quick look at Phil , he wasn't stepping in , so she slid the box her way Absolutely - help yourself " P Chapter 35 E85 vouchers . The girl's blush deepened to scarlet - she'd second - guessed her outburst immediately . But with Lorrayne green - lighting it , she thought , ' Screw it , in for a penny , in for a pound . ' " Thanks a ton , Lorrayne - promise , only a nibble . " She yanked the box open in a flash , spooned up a hunk of the meat jelly , and hurled it into her mouth like it was now or never . The fragrant jelly dissolved leisurely on her tongue . A gentle chomp set the collagen - rich gel bouncing elastically against her teeth , as her taste buds soaked up waves of deep , umami - rich flavor - it was sheer sensory heaven . Far from fishy , the jelly was bursting with fresh , aromatic goodness . The seasoning nailed the saltiness just right - spot - on balance , zero bitterness in sight . The girl savored it slowly , chewing with care as the warmth of her mouth gently dissolved it , her expression one of pure bliss - like she'd just tasted some legendary treat . She thought . No surprise it's called fragrance jelly : it smells amazing , tastes even better , and the texture is spot - on . It's a trifecta for the senses - aroma , flavor , and feel all coming together in total perfection ! Gulp- Someone swallowing saliva . Gurgle- A stomach growling . The classroom was buzzing with the constant chorus of croaking frogs . Once she'd polished off her spoonful , the girl licked her lips in satisfaction and passed the box back to Lorrayne . Thanks . " " Don't mention it . " Lorrayne flashed a warm smile . The girl smiled back gratefully , then rose and turned to the front , bowing . " Sorry , Professor - I disrupted class . Feel free to dock my points Phil let out a sigh . " It's excusable . Have a seat , and make sure it doesn't happen again ." In other words , no points lost . " Thank you , Professor ! " She bowed once more and dropped back into her chair . For the remainder of the lesson , Phil ordered the doors and windows flung wide to let in some air , then resumed his lecture . A rush of fresh breeze swept through , thinning out the spicy aromas and easing the students ' pangs of hunger bit by bit . The bell rang - lunch hour had arrived . The class let out a collective whoop , stuffing away their books and supplies as they prepped to raid the cafeteria . " Lorrayne , hold on ! " Outside the classroom . Lorrayne paused at the shout - the girl who'd tried the jelly in class came jogging up . Im Campbell Swanson , Lorrayne . Thanks so much for before , " Campbell lifted her skirts and gave a quick curtsy . " No big deal at all Lorrayne returned the courtesy with her own skirts . Campbell shook her head . " You don't get it - I was getting actual hunger pains . That little bite kept me from keeling over . " Lorrayne raised an eyebrow " How did it get that bad ? " Campbell's delicate features turned pink . Tve been on this diet to drop some weight . All I had yesterday was an apple , and my stomach was already grumpy dus morning . So when that scent hit me in class , I totally caved . " Lorayne looked worried " Crash dieting isn't healthy , Campbell . You're already super slim - no need to shed more pounds . " Campbell sighed glumly . " But my waist feels so bulky . My new corset won't even close right ." 2/3 P Chapter 35 55 vouchers Lorrayne took in her frighteningly narrow waist and shook her head . " Your waist is tiny as it is . That corset sounds way too small - get a different one . Lacing up that tight constantly can warp your ribs and jab them into your organs . " Campbell's color drained . " Is it honestly that bad ? " " Worse , actually . Overdo the cinching , and it spells trouble for childbirth - you could bleed out and not make it . " Lorrayne warned solemnly . Campbell shivered . " Yikes - thanks for the warning ! I'm ditching this corset ASAP ! " She hiked up her skirts and dashed down the steps , as if fleeing from the grim reaper . Lorrayne sighed as she watched her disappear , then strolled down at her own relaxed speed . " Lorrayne ! Hey , Lorrayne ! " At the base of the stairs , a cluster of classmates mobbed her . " Lorrayne , any chance you'd sell us a bit of that fragrance jelly ? " Up at a classroom window , Athina observed the commotion below , her fingers crushing the incense candle in her grip . " Athina , why go after her ? She's not in your way , right ? " " Oh , she's very much in my way , " Athina hissed with pure hatred . " Hugely . So damn annoying that I want to carve up that smug face of hers . " She flung the shattered incense to the ground and smashed it into paste with her toe , then spun to glare frostily at the figure behind her . " And why on earth did you hand that slut such a perfect score ?
