"I'm picking up chattering north west and I think it's about 4 to 5 hundred meters. It's an horde of zuri squirrels.

This novel is still just starting and you can all make it into something wonderful. It's not to late to drop an idea of yours -14\10\24 that's the date as long as it's not been a year since this date you can drop an idea for the novel and join me in creating an interesting webnovel-si_).

" We can't be sure as wards have different ways the behave and you know that high level wards a mostly unique even the similar ones have differences that can't be ignored. But, you may be right about him feeling pain. The question his how did he learn to cope with the pain ?" The principal asked

They trained him in secret till to day means their plan is already in motion we must know what they are doing and also find out if they are connected to them." She concludes makinga grave expression.
