The wafting smell is quite strong and aromatic to the nose that even the soldiers who are supposed to be on duty can't help but look over at the people gathering over at the rationed curry for the soldiers who are on break. For once, they felt jealous of their allies who had already started enjoying food.
After eating the fried rice earlier, every soldier who saw Elaina rationing a new dish for everyone to eat looked forward to their breaktime. They also looked at their other allies, who were already eating and seeing their delighted faces; they were looking forward to the food a lot more.
As for the soldiers who had finished eating, they also felt the new wave of energy in their bodies. It was quite strong in their bodies that they could easily feel it even if they were not magicians. In fact, they can feel the burning desire to do something like using magic, even though they can't use magic at all.
