Author's note: After a long hiatus I'm back with a new collection from a new fandom. I have currently prepared four chapters of this. More will come whenever inspiration hits and I muster enough energy to actually write it.
Genre: Humor
Rating: K
Characters: Minerva, Sting
Eating contest
Minerva chewed the food in her mouth. She knew it was excellent, but after chewing it for more than three hours, she couldn't feel its taste anymore. But that didn't matter. What mattered was victory and she was willing to do everything in her power to achieve it. After all, that was what being a mage of Sabertooth was all about. Doing whatever it took to win. Eating a pile of tasteless food wasn't the most unpleasant thing she ever had to do to achieve that end. Not by far. And so she put another spoonful in her mouth and proceeded with chewing.
She quickly glanced to her right, where the only remaining competition was slaving over his plate. Everybody else had already dropped out of Sabertooth's annual eating contest, some of them after mere twenty minutes and two plates, those wimps, and now only she and Sting remained. And from what she could see, the guild master wasn't doing well. All the food had transformed into fat already, so he now looked like a baby whale, and every bite was obviously causing him pain. Minerva smiled slightly. He wasn't going to last for another twenty minutes, of that she was certain. She could still go for hours and do it without endangering her perfect figure. Victory was assured to be hers.
She continued watching covertly as Sting looked closer and closer to tears. She made a show of enjoying every bite. And ten minutes later her efforts paid off. The Light dragon slayer finally couldn't go on anymore and fell off his chair with a pained cry. She smirked and ordered another plate, watching as Sting rolled on the ground, having become so fat he couldn't walk.
She finished her last plate, even though she didn't have to. The contest was already over. The referee declared her the winner. She beamed at all the defeated mages. Suckers, the lot of them. In the whole three hours none of them had noticed that she wasn't actually swallowing, but transported the chewed food to another dimension with her Territory magic. Was that cheating? So what? She was a mage of Sabertooth and she did everything in her power to win.
