章節 97: Chapter 97

The morning sunlight streamed through the dormitory windows, painting the room with warm hues of gold. William blinked awake, his excitement surging as he remembered what day it was. After three intense months at the academy, today marked the start of the long-awaited break. For William, this wasn't just any break—it was his chance to return to the orphanage, his home.

He sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as a grin spread across his face. The orphanage wasn't luxurious or filled with comforts, but it was the place where he had grown up, surrounded by people who cared for him like family.

Gavin, already awake and stretching near the window, noticed William's enthusiasm. "You look like a kid on his birthday," he said with a smirk.

William chuckled. "It's been months, Gavin. I haven't seen the orphanage or anyone there since I got here. I'm just... looking forward to being home for a while."
