Chapter 21: A Secret Mission
As Yun-ho, Nova, and Ethan sat through their Advanced Magic Theory class, their minds were elsewhere. They had been searching for the Heart of Darkness for weeks, with no luck.
Suddenly, a new student named Anya stood up and addressed the class. "I believe I have found a clue to the location of the Heart of Darkness," she said.
Yun-ho, Nova, and Ethan exchanged excited glances. They knew that Anya was a brilliant student, and if she said she had found something, it was probably worth investigating.
After class, Yun-ho, Nova, and Ethan approached Anya. "Can you tell us more about what you found?" Yun-ho asked.
Anya hesitated for a moment. "I'm not sure I should reveal this information to everyone," she said. "The Heart of Darkness is a powerful artifact, and it could be dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands."
Yun-ho nodded. "You're right. We should keep this information to ourselves."
Nova agreed. "We can't trust anyone else. The academy might have ties to the darkness."
Anya was taken aback. "You think the academy is involved?"
Yun-ho shrugged. "It's possible. We've seen strange things happening around here."
Nova nodded. "Remember that mysterious figure we saw lurking in the shadows a few weeks ago? I think he might be connected to the darkness."
Anya's eyes widened. "You're right. I hadn't thought of that."
Yun-ho, Nova, and Ethan knew that they had to be careful. They couldn't risk anyone else finding out about their discovery. With that in mind, they agreed to keep their mission a secret, even from their closest friends.
As they left the academy, Yun-ho couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. They were one step closer to finding the Heart of Darkness and defeating the evil that threatened the world.
