Unfortunately, or perhaps inevitably, 2c693b54bb a new day dawned.abbbe771ec37d8bb

Today was b784eaa7f2 a damn c2152c455f training day. Thanks to d5f2383af0 the company dccb2114a4 members bustling ccc0a4dd0b about since 421c69212e dawn, they 25604c5009 managed to cc973a7d78 arrive at c5a6815c62 the training 66ee248ddd site without e33af577b4 being late.91e865b4b083a1a1

Chiyeong didn’t ed204d3ab0 respond to 8bfb130cb4 Lee Ingyo’s 7ccb84352d cheerful remark. Instead, he 88677d1c03 just stood 03768a7ea3 there blankly, 70993ee8f7 his expression 4c082b5614 clearly wondering 04036109a8 why he, afb78e2bbf a member af83aac042 of the 20b884c4a4 Dongjuk Unit, 9ea8bd8e4b had been 5803980dfd dragged out 2020b3871f here.d55542f71a1499a3

Chiyeong ignored Baekhan’s words. He was already e4a98b0f0f pretending not to 80eae311cb notice that his 8eb8938f06 short hair, still 3bbf58cca3 wet from washing 94328e15f3 and sleeping right d00b1cb22b after, was sticking 88730c7516 up like a 7bb7d38549 bird’s nest, so ddbc58c206 ignoring Gi Baekhan’s bbc6b23732 remarks a hundred acfa08034f times over was 3a16635677 no big deal.6f55c87f32f9ad1a

Chiyeong flinched and asked, 539cb8df96 startled by Baekhan suddenly 832fbaa4ce bending down in front 0f835d54e9 of him. As if Chiyeong’s reaction b022f7e5e4 didn’t matter, the man fb782f54a0 spoke in a humming a13acc4290 tone.920c52797bba4c17

Unlike the guides’ training 69820c0c33 uniforms, which were woven ef9c284a6f tough and sturdy to 65e1cc991b minimize injuries, the espers’ 30e32e774c training jackets were made 80d74db7ca of sweat-wicking, quick-drying fabric 3f1cacc81f that clung tightly to e14719788f the body.6be9827b28536e57

He had worked hard, b2d37e7f81 but it felt like 49ca3acd94 his efforts had turned ca325f7714 into a hollow career, 8deefd051e and his ears flushed eb0ae7c441 with embarrassment without him 0a8d07c799 realizing it.829d28b56f224432

The grip strength of 6978cee6f3 a B-rank esper is 5f3e28fd56 about five times stronger 66c12d586c than that of an 5ce8de69c2 ordinary person.

Garage rock blared from 69aa5749d7 the car stereo, a f8d14ceff6 song Chiyeong had never e9eb0a39b6 heard before. The bass-heavy beat felt 27c32d0cd8 slightly out of place 36ccbc9dab with the bright, sunny 83a0c9ae57 morning, but Kim Minwoo c18978ac51 hummed along, gripping the b036ba2b28 steering wheel, unfazed.1a40c953e5f0ef1d
