Chapter 146
The kids clapped at that neat conclusion, going "Oooh, makes sense!" — but before long, someone shook their head.
"But that's weird too. That old guy — he looked like he was super fond of the Director."

The kids all agreed and sprang up in a rush, tearing off toward the training ground.
