"I think you should give up if she's as powerful as a wizard." Angor frowned. "But do you really think your own teacher put you in a hopeless situation which might even kill you?"
It was true that there were wizards who weren't interested in teaching students, but as long as they accepted the students, they usually wouldn't intentionally trick them. Wizards didn't need tricks to kill apprentices.
There was the possibility that someone might have some twisted "hobbies" of watching someone suffer. Yet Angor believed that such people would at least leave a trace of hope in their trap. Putting someone in a hopeless situation meant the victim would simply wait for death, which wasn't "fun" at all.
