Chapitre 70: Storm on the Horizon

The students of Genova Academy gathered at the edge of the forest. The air was cool, and a light breeze stirred the leaves overhead.

The sky, already clouded with a looming storm, added to the sense of unease. Melcin, now relegated to the role of an assistant, stood next to a guide, a seasoned beast master who had been hired to oversee their exploration.

The guide cleared his throat, stepping forward to address the group. He was tall, with a rugged look, his eyes sharp and alert.

"Listen up, everyone, the forest here is dangerous. Stick together, follow my lead, and don't wander off. Some of the beasts here are territorial and unpredictable, so it's important to stay focused."

The students nodded, though a few exchanged nervous glances. Among them, Lisa stood quietly, checking her bag. Next to her, Clara fidgeted with her gloves, looking around nervously.
