When Paige Summers returned to her room, the team's Water Ability User had already tactfully prepared clean water. She quickly rinsed herself off and changed her clothes.
Returning to the main room, she found Ben had already run over from next door. He was sitting on the table, chewing on a freshly acquired and washed Crystal Core with a loud CRUNCH, CRUNCH.
Paige Summers raised an eyebrow.
Every time she saw this, she got the feeling he had a mouth full of steel teeth. This method of absorbing energy always gave her a pang of helpless envy. 'I wish I could do it like that, too, just like eating something. It's so convenient! Not like the rest of us, who have to find a safe place and take our time just to absorb a Crystal Core!'
"Why aren't you eating in your own room? You're just here to show off, aren't you? You're definitely here to show off!"
Ben grinned at her, just as he swallowed the Crystal Core.
