Competition

When Alex got back, he immediately made way for his room.

He saw Jake still cultivating and smiled. Then he too sat in the cross-legged position to cultivate.

This they did till the next morning.

Next day.

When the sun rays came in, Alex's and Jake's eyes snapped open. Then they stood from the ground and went to take their bath to prepare for class.

When they were done, they wore their uniforms and got ready for class.

Chime!

Suddenly they heard the loud chime of a bell.

Alex and Jake became surprised.

"What in the world is the bell being rung for now?" Jake asked Alex.

"Dunno" Alex replied.

They knew that anytime the bell was rung, it was used as a medium to alert the whole students so that they could gather at the assembly ground for an important information to be passed to them.

Since the bell had been rung, they didn't waste time. They quickly left their rooms and went to the assembly ground.
