the lab doesn't have much else, but it has plenty of lab mice and lizards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was not some delicate little woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a cold-hearted scientist who could drain a lizard’s blood without changing her expression and could dissect a lab mouse without changing her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk realized, and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen also smiled, then changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you, have you finished eating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk looked at the fried chicken leg he had just bought: \"I’m planning to go to the rooftop to practice boxing, and eat after I finish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no help for it; in the new semester, the old gymnasium had been demolished and rebuilt into a swimming pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the new gymnasium was also very crowded, especially today, after all, with the new semester and new ninth-grade students, there were even more people in the gymnasium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Hawk simply thought he would wait until he got home at night, then practice boxing on the rooftop, and eat, shower, and sleep afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen nodded as she listened to Hawk talk about his upcoming plans, then thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hawk, can I ask you something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you practice boxing every day? You’re already strong enough, aren't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her mind, the scene she saw after she crossed the forest emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk standing in the pool with his upper body bare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waterfall that rolled backward in front of Hawk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen didn't know if that backward-rolling waterfall was really Hawk’s doing; after all, she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had no doubt that the Hawk before her could kill a bear with one punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This she had seen with her own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, after Gwen saw Hawk kill a bear with one punch, she felt fortunate and lingering fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she hadn't encountered a single wild beast from the time she walked into the forest until she found Hawk; one could imagine how lucky she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this was God’s will, who knows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen then thought of that unknown website that could provide her with Hawk’s real-time location even when Hawk’s phone was clearly turned off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Gwen was recalling Maryland and that unknown website, Hawk fell into silence upon hearing Gwen’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why still practice boxing every day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1131,"2026-06-18T05:22:53.059Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","413f2a55295e1a6af6b50755616f6d9be4e20ca3380a8e298947e6c0bb97a68f","marvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-chapter-81","marvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-chapter-79",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-cover.jpeg"]
