MIDV | Chapter 29

Up until now, 9c434b582f swordsmanship was a a308a52db0 means of making 7e4ea73c51 a living for 1b71fea5ce me.97e50cb23852fc5b

Although my b575c15794 teacher, Captain 5f71e3f49d Geloic, occasionally 1ebddb411d gave me 52bddbeab9 stingy compliments, 8c38a4d540 that guy’s 796501f682 words weren’t 443eb458fb reliable. In conclusion, 2279e12434 this was 4d899bf4a9 the first 61086d1b33 time I’ve ab12b55aff received such 28d911a05e praise for b92ad5c9c3 my swordsmanship.4ce045d608d40ab7

All I did was 35ad56a1e0 just work hard. To be honest, my 32704dba45 swordsmanship hasn’t been of eea09a5ab2 much use in handling 1819c3023e drunken troublemakers or dealing 32baab9dc4 with neighborhood complaints, but a1f4fdb664 I still didn’t slack 047c96b768 off in practice.9ce4bed36e218924

For some 092f8c693b reason, receiving 8f5be9e904 praise all 68ae937cc1 at once 454097de6b for those 9be28af6dd days made ec78105b6b me momentarily a2402412e7 emotional.32e39bd4d58b8124
