LEE SARANG was having the ti of her life fighting with a clear mind.
It had been a while since she fought in a serious battle because she wanted to protect people dear to her.
Hence, she didn’t hold back.
She only needed to swing her beautiful crystal scythe before successfully smashing the ice wall that the boy had created earlier.
And, now, she could see the panic in the kids’ faces.
They’re not really kids, but that’s how I see Espers who are weaker than .
Anyway, Ki Gayoon told her to make her enemies’ heads explode to win imdiately.
But that was too barbaric.
Now that I’m in my right mind, I can’t let the Ice Queen’s violence take over.
Hence, Lee Sarang chose the less violent way to get rid of the enemies— by draining the water from their bodies.
However, a ntal barrier blocked her.
Like its na suggested, a ntal barrier was a technique used to block all non-physical attacks. Draining the water in the enemies’ bodies was a ntal attack since it didn’t require physical contact.
It’s amazing that the ntal barrier worked on .
But instead of getting discouraged, Lee Sarang actually got more heated.
As expected, fighting because I want to and not because soone ordered to do is more fun.
Heh.
Lee Sarang made eye contact with the young woman.
So, you’re the one who’s creating the ntal barrier, huh?
To be honest, she didn’t have much experience in fighting people whose forte was using ntal attacks or defense.
However, being trained by Ki Gayoon taught her one thing.
Violence is always the answer.
Lee Sarang hit the crystal sycthe’s handle into the floor, and then a thin layer of ice imdiately crawled towards the kids.
I’m sorry, but I want to end this imdiately.
The young woman imdiately levitated while the young man, a ’Guide’ who was also an ice manipulator, ran towards Lee Sarang.
Good, co closer.
Once the boy was close enough, Lee Sarang blew him a ’kiss.’
That wasn’t a kiss, of course.
The cold air that she blew left the young man frozen for a mont before his movents slowed down.
Yes, Lee Sarang made the boy’s blood thicker.
Hence, the enemy had slowed down against his will.
After that, she grabbed the handle of her crystal scythe again.
Lee Sarang was about to attack the boy, but the young man threw sothing at her.
She created a thin but sturdy wall of ice to block whatever it was.
And, all of a sudden, she fell to her knees.
What...?
When Lee Sarang lifted her head, she saw the young woman grabbing the young man who could barely move.
And then the young woman imdiately opened a portal.
Since when do Guides know how to do that?
In just the blink of an eye, the two ’kids’ had imdiately disappeared.
Lee Sarang was left alone, feeling weak.
When she looked up at the thin ice wall that she created after the young woman threw sothing at her earlier, she saw a strange thing attached to it.
It was an eyeball with red pupils.
Yes, it was disgusting.
But is it the reason why I’m suddenly feeling weak?
Lee Sarang was winning the fight just a mont ago.
But the sudden shift in the air made her drop to her knees while her Mana began dropping as well.
If this continues, I’m going to lose my mind and go on a Rampage...!
Lee Sarang clutched her chest tight, trying to control her Mana— but to no avail.
"Miss Sarang Lee, do you need my guiding?"
English?
Lee Sarang raised her head and was surprised when she was greeted by a pair of glowing red eyes.
"Hello, Miss Sarang Lee."
Oh.
This person is famous.
Lee Sarang blinked, confused as to why soone as important as him ca out of nowhere. "Mr. Jericho?"
Jericho was one of the world’s few S-Class Guides.
If Lee Sarang rembered correctly, the man awakened as an S-Class Guide around the ti Bambi rose in power.
And this person is 17-nim’s Guide.
In short, Jericho was the Guide of the world’s #1 Esper.
"What are you doing here?"
"We can save the talk for later, Miss Sarang Lee. You need guiding at this very mont."
"But you can’t guide ..."
"I’m not marked by 17, so I can guide you."
"No, I’m saying that even if you’re an S-Class Guide, you can’t just guide natural S-Class Espers. I’m sure you know that as 17-nim’s Guide."
"I know what you’re worried about, but trust ," Jericho said, extending his hand to Lee Sarang. "Hurry, Miss Sarang Lee. You wouldn’t want to go on a Rampage here, right?"
Haaah.
To be honest, Lee Sarang found the Guide suspicious.
But she had no choice.
I really need a Guide right now.
Hence, Lee Sarang grabbed Jericho’s hand.
And, as soon as she did...
Oh.
It was very refreshing.
This feeling is familiar.
"Only Noh Yuno was able to guide with so much clarity in the past," Lee Sarang said, amazed, before she lifted her head and t Jericho’s still glowing red eyes. Oh, right. Those eyes were similar to Noh Yuno’s eyes as well every ti Noh Yuno used his power as a Guide. "Mr. Jericho, are you an E-Class Guide?"
Jericho grinned as if he was delighted to finally be acknowledged. "I thought I would have to hide my class forever, until Yuno Noh ca out and revealed that he was an E-Class Guide," he said, and then he tilted his head to one side. "Miss Sarang Lee, can you introduce to that boy?"
***
"ARE YOU that happy to know that you’re not the only E-Class Guide in the world, kid?"
"Happy and relieved, to be precise," Yuno said, going back to work. He was extracting the corrupted Core of a different child this ti. "The System asked to find the E-Class Guides that they awakened in secret. I’m glad to know that your Guide is one of them."
"You sound like you’re already planning to work my Guide to bone."
"Well, I can’t save the world on my own, can I?"
"Is it safe to assu that the information I shared with you is as valuable as the information I want you to share with ?"
"Yes," Yuno said, nodding. "I’ll tell you about it later, sir."
"Yey," 17 said cheerfully, and then he opened his arms. "Can I hug you, kid?"
Yuno was about to reject 17, but...
"Do you wanna die?"
Oh, Hyung is here.
And Ki Gayoon arrived with a bang— the hot-tempered Esper literally threw an energy blast at 17 as soon as he ca out of nowhere.
Aigoo.
Espers and their ridiculous possessiveness.
