That night, a large banquet was held in a canteen-like room at the Great Ruler training center of the Green Eco building.

Clearly, Matteo is reluctant to enjoy the dishes served. He was traumatized because the last time he ate in the cafeteria, he almost died. Even though he knew if not the food was the cause.

Matteo glanced at the people around him who were eating voraciously including Sandra who was sitting at the very end.

"Why, General? You don't seem to have a taste, either" asked Colonel Brego looking intently at Matteo sitting next to him.

"Oh, no. It's just ...," he replied hanging looks gloating because it was stared at by everyone. Sandra did not watch and still enjoyed her dinner. "Later. I ... was on a diet," he replied of origin.

"Diets? Your body is perfect. Even I'm sure if you have beautiful abdominal muscles, unlike me, which have adorable folds" Brego said, pinching her distended stomach.

All the candidates chuckled including Sandra who was smiling faintly at her seat. Matteo drank only mineral water although his eyes remained busy patrolling to see the people eating the dishes looking tasteful.

Suddenly, Sandra left the dining table after eating her dinner. Alternatively, everyone's eyes were now focused on him.

"Oh. I just ... want to go to the toilet. No need to come," he said putting a cold face in front of the men.

Brego and all the men laughed again. They didn't think Sandra could make a joke. Matteo looks moody because Sandra left him.

Sandra was gone for almost 30 minutes, until suddenly a kitchen maid came carrying a bowl of soup addressed to the General.

"What's this?" matteo asked confusedly.

"Broccoli cream soup with extra berries and also chrispy bread" replied the waiter who made everyone take a glance at the stingy-looking food.

"Who made it?" ask General.

The waiter hesitated to answer. He then whispered in the General's ear, and practically, Matteo's eyes widened.

"Really?" the question was doubtful and the servant nodded.

"Say, if you spend this, the other meal will come soon" the waiter continued.

Quickly, Matteo immediately took a spoon and fed his mouth even though he looked doubtful. Everyone looked at the General closely.

"Whoah! It's delicious" he replied with sparkling eyes.

"Why don't we get that weird food?" tanya Retro felt a discrimination was occurring.

Matteo glanced at Retro nervously. "I'm dieting. You're forgot?" the answer.

Retro nodded in understanding with a plain face. Quickly, Matteo finished the meal and left only the leaves of the berries.

"Next" he asked happily, giving the empty bowl to the waiter who was waiting for him.

The waiter immediately left the group of people who were astonished by the General's dinner menu.

Matteo's smile. He seemed happy to finally enjoy dinner. Before long, the food came. Back, a strange food appeared and left everyone astonished.

"I'll diet after this. I wonder what it feels like. Can I have a taste, General?" tanya Brego gulped.

"Emph, sorry, Colonel. This is special cooking just for me. Not necessarily suited to you," replied Matteo with a mouthful of food.

"That's ... mixed fruit jam?" tanya Sam argues because of the smell of fresh fruits.

"Hem. Like that's. Cereal porridge mixed with fruits. Very fresh," replied Matteo who ate voraciously even in just a matter of seconds the food was ludes. Everyone gawked and felt saliva inundate their mouths.

The waiter immediately brought the empty plate and rushed back to the kitchen.

People stopped eating because the food enjoyed by the General was very different. Matteo looked satisfied and his smile grew.

"General, sorry. It's the last one" said the waiter, putting down the last plate that kept Matteo silent for a moment, but slowly his smile was engraved.

"Ah, I know this. Sushi!" exclaims Cendric and is embraced by Matteo.

Finally, people again enjoy their dinner because they have tasted Japanese food.

The waiter took out some of the finished dishes used by the User candidates using stainles thrust racks. Matteo ate voraciously and calmly. Before long, everyone had finished enjoying dinner.

"OKAY. After this, we gather near the Oasis. Think of it like .. bonfire night. You can ask me anything" said Brego.

The candidates and Matteo looked delighted. Finally, Brego moved out of the dining room accompanied by Matteo walking beside him, followed by the candidates.

In kitchen. Sandra looks so tired from being an impromptu chef because she doesn't want Matteo to starve. He was sitting limp in a chair after cooking for the General.

"Butka. How do you know the General likes those foods?" the kitchen staff looked at him in wonder.

Sandra looks nervous because of the officers' eyes. Sandra stood up straight and tried to calm down while making an alibi.

"Oh. You ... know, about the case when the General was poisoned?" Those people nodded. "I saw him at that moment. I saw the officers give the General such food, and ... General's likes. So I thought if I cooked a similar meal, the General would eat. Hehe, lucky me," he replied stiffly.

"Oh, thank goodness. Because you know, vice president Lala called. He was worried that his nephew would not eat. He almost sent Purple, but I said that the General would eat because it was cooked by you," replied the kitchen attendant with a smile, but made Sandra stunned for a moment.

"What did you say?" sandra asked with glaring eyes.

"Why indeed?" the officer asked in wonder.

Sandra grimaced as she shook her head slowly. He then decided to follow the other candidates to Oasis to listen to the story of Brego.

Sandra rushed towards the Oasis that was already full of people. Sandra sat down and, as it turned out, had to cross paths with Matteo even though a small bonfire separated them.

Sandra was bowed looking awkward because she was stared at by Matteo carefully with a thin smile.

"Well, you're late, Otka. I just taught you how to make a campfire" said Brego, who made Sandra apologize. "So .. do you have any questions about me?" ask Brego to offer.

Suddenly, Ben raised his hand. Everyone then looked at Ben intently who looked like he wanted to convey something.

"We heard a little of your story from General Matteo when he came here. If you may know, was ... The war at that time so terrible that you had to evacuate? Sorry if my question offends, Colonel. It's just that I was born in Great Ruler, so .. I don't know what's going on out there" Ben asked.

"Yes, me too. We were all born in Great Ruler" Baden said.

Brego smiled with a slow nod. All eyes were now focused on him.

"Yes, it's terrible. I used to be a military man, a soldier like you. I don't mind being called like a lion because of my striking hair color. However, I am proud that this is the legacy of my ancestors where our people are already near-threatened. Yeah, I'm one of those rare humans. Descendants from Somalia, although actually my hair color is not genuine. I painted it with a traditional technique so I wouldn't forget where I came from" he replied, to which everyone was amazed.
