章 32: Professor Of The Ascendia Academy

There were five survivors who awakened, seated in office chairs, their figures emaciated and their faces pale, evidence of the hardships they had endured.

Asher, Simon, and Maya stood in front of the group. Asher stepped forward and asked in a calm voice, "Tell me, what are your names?"

The first survivor to awaken was a woman with fiery red hair. Her green eyes held a mixture of confusion and fear. She blinked rapidly, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness of the room.

"I already told you," she whispered, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "My name is Lila."

Next to her sat a man with rugged features and a dark complexion. His eyes, filled with wisdom and resilience, scanned the room as he took in his surroundings. Although he was also confused and scared, Asher could feel a quiet strength within him.

"My name is Malik," he stated, his voice carrying a hint of authority.
