As your muscles become sturdier, it will take less time for them to heal, and I am sure after some time your body will instinctively learn to do that.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\" I mumbled, looking at the whiteboard. \"So we need to change that again, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yeah.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed, getting up and rubbing the already made diagram before making another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a question, El.\" I mumbled, running my hand on the board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you want me to kill an angel?\" I asked, making a new diagram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[.... It's a taboo, Az.
