Kyoji was deep in sleep. He didn't even notice how much time had passed—he only woke up when he felt a soft tap on his shoulder.
Opening his eyes, he saw a blurry figure of Klein standing above him. The harsh light of the room hit his eyes, making him squint and blink rapidly to adjust.
"Hey, dinner time," Klein said softly, keeping his voice low so he wouldn't startle him.
"Hmm? It's time already?" Kyoji mumbled as he tried to sit up, his eyes darting around the room.
He saw that the others were already up and prepared. It looked like they had been waiting for him.
'Looks like I slept longer than I expected,' Kyoji thought as he finally stood.
He hadn't planned on sleeping so long. He must have really underestimated how exhausted he was.
Kyoji stretched his body. To his surprise, he felt refreshed—no pain, no discomfort.
Whatever Instructor Brax had given him earlier worked like a miracle.
