The students stood at the edge of the seashore, gazing at the dense forest that loomed in the distance. They had been walking along the shoreline for what felt like hours, and the thought of venturing into the unknown forest ahead filled them with both excitement and fear.
As they stood there, one of the students, a young man named Akhio, spoke up. "Are we really sure about this?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly.
The other team members exchanged uneasy glances. They had all been thinking the same thing, but no one had wanted to voice their doubts.
"What do you mean, Aki?" asked Lyra.
"I mean, do we really want to go into that forest?" Akhio replied, gesturing towards the thick, dark trees. "Who knows what's in there? It could be dangerous."
