Aaron woke up early in the morning, much earlier than he used to.
This was because he had a train to catch to Dusk City. If he misses that, he has to wait until two days later to catch another train there or he has to hop through various trains to reach Dusk City.
This is not the only way to reach Dusk City but is the best as the other ways would take even longer than three days to reach Dusk City or cross the start date of the academy. So, he can't miss this train.
Also, Aaron already bought a ticket. If he misses the train, then that would be a waste of money as there is no refund if you miss the train.
So, he woke up early and got ready.
He then quickly packed a bag. There was not much to take with him anyway. So, he was done in two hours after he woke up. After that, he went to the dining room for the breakfast.

When Aaron entered the dining room, his parents were still in the kitchen preparing food.
"Mom, I am ready", he called out.
