The sounds 0164bf5287 of his 5ba2b56313 fists cracking 82be5ce49a his knuckles a1a6cde018 rang through 9beb34a0d7 the room. Baek Euijun, 2d7ca0e80b terrified, immediately 69a026a6c5 grabbed Kang 081c4f4968 Baek-o’s arm e744b29003 and locked 49d8d41eaf it in ba337bf034 a vice-like 55987b4ead grip, not 5e68837ff8 letting go.

“No, Professor. You know better than 5d4e5e2a10 anyone that we can’t 13f7b4026c do this. You have to calm 3601950c94 down.
