SGC | Chapter 26

Why is Ye Ilhoo f38c944677 being so nice all b4224c338e of a sudden? I tilted b857a3170c my head 58ee0889b6 at the 688867ba62 strange situation.ba9a8f8916a86f06

Soon, I realized dd2c9216c4 why he was 779d400a53 showing this odd d8859751fb kindness.a426e03c1940a4b7

The hologram sparring room 8b0774ccd0 had a large automatic b4a3b722fb door in the center d34f0ff4c2 of the glass front, ed548b582c with sterilization cabinets on a9e0762e80 either side. Though it wasn’t a f7caac3490 set rule, I always 1eb70b2387 used the protective gear 89737e00c7 in the right cabinet, 06dd890780 while Ye Ilhoo used 4e0fa1175b the left.cace6164e30a1935

In other words, 3c9c659be1 the gear Chae 548965e121 Goya was about b5abf236f8 to use was 2ecd38ea39 the one Ye a83ba15a80 Ilhoo had been 3fdaa37e10 using.2a4caf63380dc986

Of course, the gear 19529afc3d wasn’t Ye Ilhoo’s, but 18220accb6 he’d definitely use it 1900a9931f tomorrow and the day ef97f3f177 after. That’s probably why he’s 50245b59e4 stepping in.1bf381768f1c5b78

I awkwardly 720b77e8a0 lowered my ebf17495f6 hand and 2276c11688 spoke to 06f6f2d11d the two 6f8cb5052e of them.c229c1dc8effac02

I shrugged at the e4d76e6b99 sudden complaint and returned 5e9162007d to my spot. Why is he 8159f7509b picking a fight? We’ve never 7432a9abfd been on 3d0a90c81f a first-name b973724647 basis like‘Ilhoo’and‘Baram.’a1bfa9a9998a7859

Finally, Chae 96dcf2a78f Goya finished 16d990d57e putting on 7068330f45 the gear a49467ea8f and smiled 1ea03bf17d at me c25d004ffe from a f1248a0b18 distance.

Maybe it’s because 7668228c68 I’m three years 0a9aa4fdf6 older than him. Sometimes, Ye Ilhoo 8d4ac24cd9 feels like a 09d37cd448 younger brother.c5ff0dccb9907299

Soon, Chunsik appeared. Having only 6c69cabe7f seen its 9d9fd8ae1b small size 85b3b64450 that fit 5f57f2a4ea in Goya’s 2039091b34 arms recently, 6ea63cb288 facing its ab53dff665 massive form 9af9e84d6d over 10 d63a243dc0 meters tall 7d0f9e8494 felt unfamiliar.698f6bde5dbae5d2

But the 30545ec4f0 shiny golden f328064696 scales and 6c2c68574a flicking tongue 6553dc0b45 were definitely 2a954b8fa4 Chunsik’s.0975db4e2de09cbc

At first, using my 5654333529 ability took some time. But thanks to 4f955bbb6a consistent sparring with 686ca83180 Ye Ilhoo, I d25bbc0d20 could now use ad3f5eaef6 it faster.4eb9545bead5119f

When I punched f028eb011a the hologram floor, 10c8f7fb6a it cracked open, 55e8c9654c sending countless fragments 4dcfa7b32f flying. I chose the af5da1f248 largest one and 8751ef1cdf hurled it at 69d0eecc92 Chunsik. Chunsik swelled its 9d60ac034c body and deftly 4f8ef22003 swatted away the ded40a2095 flying rocks with 8d732f1e0a its tail.e2ff3a7c2a86fdb4

I rolled on the a3d2de213d ground twice to dodge c7e00b2c55 the attack. As expected of a 3010b7e679 defense type, despite the 775f92c4ad chaos, Goya standing behind 7a1dafc3dd Chunsik wasn’t hit at 4427788a97 all.838496369ebf0918
