Volunteer No. 2
It wasn't actually very complicated.
Professor Lisha was surprised because she hadn't sensed Su Gao; the reason was that Su Gao had deliberately concealed her presence.
At an academic sanctuary like the academy, even though an unusual incident had just occurred, Su Gao probably wouldn't be so vigilant just because she was walking at night.
