Aditya could only go out to eat. Even though the dinner would be served in the dorm canteen soon, he also has to buy some things for the next day’s preparations.
But he didn’t go to the same place as his friends, instead he went to the town. He went to a small restaurant in the market to eat, but even after eating the same amount he ate every day, his stomach is still rumbling.
It is almost like he didn’t eat anything at all.
He checked his wallet and felt a pinch before ordering another portion. He had to eat double the amount of what he usually ate and then only he felt satiated a bit.
It seems like the increase in attributes is not exactly without any drawbacks. He looked at the rest of the cash he had and the amount left in his bank account.
All the money he saved from the allowance he got for a few years is going to be spent if things go this away. At least, he doesn’t have to pay for the breakfast and the dinner at the hostel as he already paid for the whole semester and he can eat as much as he wants.
After finishing his meal, he went to a supermarket nearby and bought some soft drinks that are being sold in glass containers. He also bought a few bottles of hand-sanitizer, a gas lighter and some cotton hand kerchiefs.
He went to a nearest gas station to buy five liters of petrol and a bottle of engine oil. Since the highway is nearby, it is a natural occurrence for people to buy fuel separately like this to store in their cars in case there are no gas stations in their routes.
The gas stations sell fuels in different sized containers.
He bought one and went to an alley before placing the petrol in the empty inventory slot and returning to the campus.
But he didn’t go to the dorm room immediately and called Venkat.
“Where are you guys now?”
“We are in the campus. The Theatre club and Dance club are performing. Come to the main dais near the administrative block. These performances are awesome.”
“I have something to do. I will come later.”
Aditya felt delighted as he heard the news that they are not in the dorm. He directly ran to the room and locked it before he started what he wanted to do.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
First, he emptied one of the soft drinks and poured some petrol in it along with some motor oil and closing the cap with a kerchief which is soaked in the hand sanitizer.
He made a Molotov Cocktail.
He knew that he has a limited fire power, so he decided to make something himself. He cannot afford to buy hand grenades and stuff and since he doesn’t like that to begin with, he didn’t want to buy.
Anyway, for some reason, he is lot more compatible for burning things.
It seems like he is a natural born arsonist. So, he decided to go with the same route. Anyway, it worked the first two times, there is no reason for him to suspect that it wouldn’t work the third time.
But making a Molotov cocktail is not exactly as easy as he thought. Particularly, when he accidentally broke the first one because he gripped too tightly while closing the bottle after pouring the petrol and the motor oil in.
This is the first time that he had to face the difficulties of these strength attributes.
The doors of the dorm room are metal and that includes the bathroom door. They knew that the students will go rowdy when something happens and breaks them, so they did this.
Obviously he didn’t feel his strength when he was washing himself. The only key difference he noticed until now is that he can walk really long without breaking a sweat and he can a whole lot more.
Apart from that, this is the first time he noticed the difficulty. The delicate things are being crushed easily.
He hurriedly cleaned the glass fragments and the fuel up with a rag and started making others. This time he was a lot careful and he successfully made the other five cocktails.
He then placed them carefully inside the first oreo box.
Since the soft drink bottle is only two hundred ml in size which is very small, it perfectly fit inside the box and there is even some space.
He placed the lighter inside along with them and closed the box with the tape before trying to place it in the inventory.
Luckily, it didn’t reject it, so he heaved a sigh of relief.
He cleaned everything up hurriedly, but still made sure that there is no trace of anything whatsoever. But the left over engine oil and petrol are still inside the room. He could only empty his large luggage bag and place them there while he stuffed the cabinet with all of his clothes.
He couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated with this. He once again understood the importance of having a private place with the current situation he was in.
But it is not easy to get that. A private place needs money and all he has is the saved up allowance and the monthly allowance his parents will send which is definitely not enough to afford a place.
He could only sigh and looked at the time.
The others still didn’t come and Aditya felt like it would help if he took some time off. So, he went to the campus.
When he was there, the final performance for the night is going on.
He met with Venkat and asked.
“Who is performing now?”
“It is a dance battle between the freshmen. The new members who joined the dance club. They just joined and it seems like they are already on each other’s throats.”
Aditya looked on the stage. Two people are on the stage, as they started at each other. Surprisingly two of them are girls and they looked like they wanted to tear each other apart.
