The abnormally cold air woke Ferris a bit earlier than expected. He had set his alarm at the start of dawn, but he woke about five minutes before 5 a.m.
Even at this time, Soleil wouldn't be awake. Even though she was a city away, the orphanage was located on the outskirts between City 16 and City 17. And with Prin's home also near the border, the time zone difference wouldn't be so significant.
Knowing this, Ferris had no need to open his phone, only taking it off its charger and setting it aside.
He got out of bed and went to wash his face with cold water using the personal bathroom inside his room.
After that, he planned on heading out to do some needed exercise and stretching. As he neared the entrance, he was eventually spotted by Magpie, who still looked fresh despite wearing the same clothes as last night.
It's not like she needs to sleep. Ferris envied her for a second. If he didn't need to sleep, he would just spend his time training to advance as quickly as possible.
