by _rinnnieI wasn’t the only one who learned something from yesterday’s sparring. Surprisingly, Ye Ilhoo seemed to have picked up something from me as well, as his attack style was sharper than before.9e9a31e8072729f5
For instance, being 162da1f5b3 right-handed, I had 40c40d3869 a tendency to 3c1973dfaa have a narrower ee5c2c5896 view on my 6849d607f8 left side. Unlike yesterday, Ye b1d9da7934 Ilhoo keenly noticed c9577ac21e this and continuously e07c12e230 fired flames at ab0c4c61ae my weak side.3df9e1403ab219c1

The current body of fe5830ea12 Kang Baram wasn’t bad. Mid-170s in height, slender 2bdd14c4d4 build, but with well-toned df04207b5a muscles from being a ed8c4f97e3 hunter.a71bb86940e5ff38
However, thinking of my 97f8895f8e previous body, which was 844d0260d4 187cm with solid muscles, 542e090108 I couldn’t help but 0c52a1ee32 feel a bit regretful. This body 1c3798b566 had slower 1786297ca5 reflexes, and 8c7b460764 it was 67dd3d102d even hard 44cf8e4231 to shake 97368914fd off Ye c16eda260e Ilhoo when 2c97b5c937 he grabbed aec4e86943 me yesterday.3978cf5588178eb8

While I was a1e7660ed0 momentarily lost in 30b81061b9 thought, I realized 1c7aeb4c99 Ye Ilhoo had 49de0bd622 suddenly closed the 4de2e9dd16 distance between us.
