Chapter 13 - The Kidnapping Incident (7)
Shredica's POV
The fifth day of joint training had arrived, marked by the incessant ringing of a bell. I woke up, puzzled by the premature call. It wasn't time for roll call yet, so why were they summoning us now?
With a grumble, I dragged myself upright and checked the time. It wasn't even 8 yet; too early for the day to begin.
Sighing, I cleaned up and dressed in my uniform before heading to the large plain where the bell had been incessantly tolling. The sound felt like it was drilling into my ears, threatening to burst my eardrums. Some students were clutching their ears, trying to block out the noise, but it persisted relentlessly. They were probably ringing it to rouse everyone from their slumber.
Once all the students had gathered, grumbling as they stood bleary-eyed on the plain, the bell finally ceased. Bedheads, yawns, and drool adorned some, evidence of their interrupted sleep.
