During the rest of the day, the other youths kept on hearing loud banging sounds from one of the rooms. They thought it was only temporary, but it then went on for hours without stopping.
Those that stayed near Amon's quarter had it the worst, as the noise was the loudest. They couldn't rest nor cultivate with such disturbing sounds. The nearest ones started to call out to whoever was making the noise to stop, but Amon ignored them.
When their requests were ignored, they started calling for the White Cloud people who oversaw the resting rooms. They were not allowed to come out of their rooms. In fact, their rooms were even locked, to prevent these inquisitive youths from roaming around where they shouldn't be. So, they could only yell to attract attention.
Soon, the entire complex was full of noise. The White Cloud staff could finally not ignore them any longer and came to see what exactly was going on.
