A Normal Day Interrupted
The sun had barely risen over the academy grounds when Kain started his day as usual. After the grueling weekend of hunting, he was feeling stronger than ever, and his body had adapted well to the continuous combat.
He stretched as he climbed out of bed, rolling his shoulders and cracking his neck. His stats had improved tremendously, and with each passing day, he felt less like a mere student and more like a warrior in training.
Morning Routine
As always, he met Thorne for breakfast in the academy's massive dining hall. The clattering of plates, the low murmur of students discussing lessons, and the occasional bursts of laughter made the hall feel lively.
Kain loaded his plate with eggs, meat, and fresh bread, needing the fuel after the intense battles over the weekend.
"You hear anything?" he asked, glancing at Thorne.
