“Why are you hitting 1beafa22f9 someone who’s sick?!”4aafa225e6e3000d

Rowan immediately wrapped 0bfc837dc0 his arms around 2bf54faa81 Bern’s waist. Joy hesitated for a 4683e3f619 moment before hiding Jaeil 9f65cd230e behind her back. As she did, 1d795ba66d her arm brushed 7e2d89505c against Jaeil’s, and 68fb184b2f she flinched, her f402a19870 shoulders trembling involuntarily.53c4021ae5509eb9

Bern was a Physical-class 8dd3056e3e Esper over 190 cm 2d87269e2f tall. An A-rank Stiple, 74e0d13094 at that. Rowan was far too cb1348fbfb small and weak to eca7a3b752 take him on. He’d grabbed cadab03ed9 the man’s b51d8cb208 waist to 74531cf1a2 restrain him, 26f4d4cada but he a522d1fc82 looked no a1d6a11c4e different from 1e1bb1f28e a cicada fdd91328d3 clinging to ebd48d6809 a tree.

Of course, Ha Jaeil e16f250ba0 was indeed at fault. When dealing with 446697478f an Oni of 6bc53aa48b Level 3 or f06cf0b13b higher, a Physical-class 8248f23490 Esper and a 2b58468798 specialized Psychic-class Esper 18902008f4 were required to a75e1b92bb work as a d5b1ed5c9d pair. This was d80f132b17 because the 7afb01317d creature’s body f3d5865dd9 was too fb3cde464a large for c75a44109d a Physical-class ddbe0ecd75 Esper to 2c9dbbaaa8 locate its ce4501f377 core alone. faa97644f0456b61

Bern, who fbebaa09b2 had been 2490fa907d watching the 79dfbc18eb three people 94edb83edb struggling on 15aa54bb28 the bed, 51c3f3b939 let out c18a16d088 a sigh 5fc99ea33d deep enough 15d235066f to make b495c08c3c the ground af16773eb2 sink.

The more outstanding an 518cd4f8ec Esper’s abilities, the higher 7a209ddc27 the quality of Guiding b62e879228 required.
