The next day, Liam woke up feeling determined. The decisions he had made continued to weigh heavily on him, but instead of feeling scared, he experienced a peculiar sensation of excitement. He was entering a new phase of his life, where he held the reins. However, along with that control also came the requirement for carefulness – every step he took would be monitored, every behavior examined. Following a speedy breakfast, Liam departed from his dormitory, his thoughts already active with anticipation for the upcoming day. The campus was lively in the morning, with students bustling to classes and chatting in small groups, but Liam couldn't help but notice the quiet looks and whispers directed at him. News had circulated about his confrontation with Vanguard, causing a stir of interest in the boy who had emerged from obscurity. While walking, Liam saw Vanguard in the distance chatting with a group of students close to the library. She saw him and fixed her eyes on him, assessing

Excitement and gossip filled the campus as the scheduled purge neared. Liam, Jordan, and Lindy were very vigilant, formulating plans and backup plans in their minds. Having their proof ready and the administration informed about the dangers, they were optimistic that the situation could be resolved before it worsened. Lindy had been putting in a lot of effort to gather backing from fellow students. She successfully arranged a meeting with student leaders from different groups who were disenchanted with the current situation. The meeting was scheduled to happen in a private section of the library, hidden from curious onlookers. Upon reaching the library, Liam and Jordan saw a cluster of students outside, appearing both concerned and resolved. Lindy was one of them, conversing enthusiastically with some of the leaders. "Are all preparations complete?" Liam inquired as he joined the group. Lindy gave a nod. "Yes, we have a strong attendance. It is important to ensure that all individu

Excitement filled the campus as the year-end festival neared. It was a long-awaited tradition for students, a time of anticipation, contemplation, and the end result of months of dedication. This year, the festival held even greater importance. It was more than just a recognition of academic success, but also a demonstration of the determination and solidarity that had characterized the student community recently. Liam, Jordan, and Lindy had been deeply involved in getting ready for the past few weeks. Being essential parts of the recently formed student council, they had volunteered to coordinate the event, committed to ensuring it was a memorable experience for all. The central area was turned into a lively festival space, filled with booths selling food from various countries, activities, and shows. Students meandered around the booths, soaking in the ambiance and catching up with friends. Laughter and music filled the air, a sharp contrast to the previous tension that had envelo

The audience, now standing far away, gasped with surprise. Security personnel swiftly took charge of the situation by saturating the area with their presence. The man and his partners were caught, their schemes were thwarted. After the commotion calmed down, Lindy remained standing, shaking with adrenaline. Jordan, with some bruises but uninjured, approached her and hugged her tightly. He murmured that she had been wonderful. "Same with you," Lindy responded, her voice filled with relief. "We accomplished it." Shortly after, Liam joined them with a blend of worry and satisfaction displayed on his face. "Are both of you doing fine?" "Yeah," Jordan responded, keeping Lindy in a tight embrace. "We are fine. "Credit goes to Lindy." Liam agreed with a softening of his eyes. "We owe gratitude to each and every one of us." We safeguarded the important things. The festival continued, although with less energy, as students returned, thankful that the night was saved from r

The trio couldn't rid themselves of the unease deep in their bones, even as the festival carried on around them with the night far from over. The finding of the secret room and the unusual map sparked more inquiries than it provided solutions, causing Liam to ponder various possibilities. Lindy reached Liam, her face showing worry. "Liam, we must determine the significance of those red symbols." These might be locations where a significant event is occurring, potentially posing a threat to many individuals. Liam gave a nod, his mind spinning. "We must look into this matter, but we require assistance as we cannot tackle it single-handedly. We must use intelligence and be ready for any potential discoveries. Jordan, out of breath, joined the conversation. I believe we should begin by pinpointing those areas on the map. If we can identify the target, we may have a chance to prevent the upcoming threat. "Okay," Liam replied, his voice becoming more determined. "However, we must exerci
