Date

Monday. 

Li Lanni's class had successfully completed the first volume of the comic they were drawing.

Today, they started the second volume. 

As usual, after the lecture was done, the professor asked them to draw the comics for the second volume based on the story they were asked to read. While they were doing so, the professor walked around the classroom, silently assessing the comics made by the students. 

'This batch of students have improved a lot' the professor was delighted when he saw the paintings. Each one of them was unique and creative.

But then he stopped next to Li Lanni with a frown when he saw her painting. This girl… 

To avoid making her feel humiliated, he waited until the class ended, then called her to his office and questioned her. "Have you really read the novel and understood it?" 

Li Lanni nodded, wondering why he would ask such a question. They were in the second volume already. Wasn't that a given?
