I Have High Hopes for You!

In the Inquisition's archive room, Li Ziran leaned quietly against the back of his chair, but all he could think about was how to deal with Wood.

Wood was definitely a qualified teacher, but Cavis clearly could not possibly allow him to meet Wood alone. Moreover, he still had no idea how to enter Thorn Prison.
