MIDV | Chapter 29
by Angry BirdUp until 9f54fb2fcc now, swordsmanship e34241a4fc was a 7c5d6bf8c1 means of 33cec48336 making a cce792f3a1 living for 56b5f96b8a me.9b9a7415812db9f2
Although my teacher, 693f5cc881 Captain Geloic, occasionally 3c452e391c gave me stingy 843006db2e compliments, that guy’s 0e4dd01332 words weren’t reliable. In conclusion, 2a64209e42 this was 03dffec20c the first c054b5c8ec time I’ve c4e17dabfd received such 9c4792e1bd praise for 6db77822a1 my swordsmanship.c9b1d252ee87f358

All I did was 9f77048f18 just work hard. To be 1cb9600174 honest, my 34947ab5cf swordsmanship hasn’t df95398698 been of 9774ff2134 much use 7c56315a99 in handling 222bbee0ab drunken troublemakers 38c2082d7b or dealing f06655fd48 with neighborhood 4d1e0cd126 complaints, but 577c8a878a I still abdf111ee3 didn’t slack a0b38e2804 off in 29b2d814d7 practice.c53fba7f3ed8e7e2
For some reason, 79fdff8ba3 receiving praise all d7d8dd4c79 at once for c2f8b288eb those days made 5df77aa1e8 me momentarily emotional.190238cd44a0fa3c
