A clearing deep within Datang Forest.
Li Nianshen clung to his father's leg, making a last-ditch plea.
"Dad—! I promise I won't fight with my classmates again, just spare me this once!"
Li Yi mercilessly pulled his leg out from his son's embrace and said indifferently, "It's work time now, call me Principal Li."
"...Principal Li, I admit it was wrong of me to fight, but Wang Miao was the one who started it, Fanzi and I were acting in self-defense. Even if you have to punish us, you shouldn't be too harsh! The Snake-tailed Tiger Beasts are rare, how can we find one within twenty-four hours?"
Li Yi nodded, "You make a valid point. Then I'll give you more time. Is three days enough? If not, we can extend it."
"No, no, Principal Li, that's not what I meant!" Li Nianshen was distressed; this was the deep forest, full of dangers, and they were just two basic academy rookies. The less time they spent here, the better.
"If that's not what you meant, then make the most of your time."
