RINNNNNG!
RINNNNNG!
The piercing sound of a bell echoed through the Academy's vast halls, cutting through the early morning silence with relentless clarity. It reverberated across every floor and every corridor, ensuring that even the most stubborn sleepers would be stirred from their slumber.
Within the Aether Class dormitory, where students of exceptional promise resided, the ringing was particularly sharp, a deliberate reminder of the Academy's structured discipline.
Ashok jolted awake, his groggy state evident as he rubbed his eyes, struggling to shake off the remnants of sleep.
The large clock mounted on the wall ticked steadily, its hands resting perfectly at six o'clock, signaling the start of the day.
Ashok from his knowledge of the Academy's routines knew that another bell would ring at seven. But instead of lingering under the comfort of his blanket, he made the decision to rise.
He headed toward the bathroom, his movements sluggish yet deliberate.
