[A few years ago...]
"YIHUN-AH, why couldn’t you fight like an Esper?"
"Well, I don’t know. Maybe because I’m a Guide and not an Esper?" Yihun asked sarcastically. "Shocking, right?"
Of course, his sarcastic remark earned him a punch in the face.
Yeah, he was also sent flying— his back hitting the wall, almost breaking his spine.
However, Yuno slid down the wall with a smile on his face.
On the other hand, the Esper "instructor" who punched him suddenly went pale. Because punching Yuno ant making physical contact with him.
Yep, that’s the face of soone who fucked around and found out.
"Yes, I can’t fight like an Esper," Yuno said, standing up slowly— smirking while closing his hand. "But I sure as hell can fight like a Guide."
The Esper instructor clutched his chest tight as if he couldn’t breathe.
Haaah.
Reverse Guiding is really fun.
"Yihun-ah, murder is bad."
Tsk.
Yihun imdiately opened his hand, freeing the Esper instructor from his painful Reverse Guiding Technique.
The Esper instructor then fell to the floor— unconscious.
Fucking weakass.
"Yihun-ah, did you dye your hair?"
Ah.
Yihun touched his mint green hair. "Yes," he said, pointing at the knocked-out Esper on the floor. "That instructor said he hates seeing stand out in the crowd— that I should hide when I see him outside training ti. So, I dyed my hair with an eye-catching color. Now he could see even if he doesn’t want to."
Jacob looked shocked at what he said, and then he laughed. "What a petty bastard."
"Are you describing that instructor? I agree then. What a petty bastard for feeling inferior to a Guide."
"Noh Yihun, your cheekiness will kill you soday."
"So be it."
"You’re the most talented when it cos to mastering the E-Class Guides’ Way, but you lack power when it cos to using your Mana the way Espers do."
"Hyung-nim, I don’t understand why E-Class Guides need to change the flow of our Mana just to imitate Espers."
"My dear dongsaeng, why is it so hard to break you?" Jacob asked, sighing while shaking his head. And then he patted Yihun’s head. "Your stubbornness is probably why Father is fond of you. But Yihun-ah..." The crazy bastard suddenly pulled Yuno’s hair quite strongly, and then he dragged him out of the training hall. "I’m the one in charge of our siblings now— and I don’t appreciate this attitude of yours."
"That sounds like a you problem, Hyung-nim."
"Let’s see how long you can keep up with that attitude."
The next thing Yihun knew, Jacob had already thrown him in the basent cell where his fellow E-Class Guides were "buried."
No, it wasn’t a proper burial.
The bodies were just put on top of one another, creating a small pile of corpses.
Of course, the stench there was beyond horrible.
However, it wasn’t the reason Yihun suddenly felt like going crazy.
Kids.
Children as young as fourteen were among the pile, and he recognized so of them.
They are the new batch of E-Class Guides who just awakened last month.
"Hyung-nim, those kids..."
"Ah, Father didn’t like them," Jacob said casually. "It’s a sha that we had to get rid of the newborn chicks. But what could we do? It was Father’s order."
Haaah.
Yihun clutched his chest tight when his heart suddenly thumped hard and fast against his chest— at the sa ti, he heard an annoying voice in his head mocking him, provoking him to "let loose."
Am I going crazy?
"Noh Yihun, you couldn’t turn your Mana into a weapon just like how Espers use theirs. But you successfully imitated one thing unique to Espers."
What bullshit is this bastard spouting this ti?
Yihun just knitted his eyebrows while trying to catch his breath.
What’s happening to ?
"Rampage," Jacob said, smiling while looking at Yihun as if he were an interesting test subject. "Yihun-ah, you could go on a Rampage— just like an Esper."
***
[Present...]
YES, Yuno didn’t learn how to fight like an Esper because he didn’t hate being a Guide.
However, for so reason, he developed a "symptom" similar to an Esper’s Rampage every ti he would get overwheld by anger.
He thought he had already used to suppressing his "Rampage."
But when Yuno saw Ki Gayoon getting impaled with stone spears all over his body, he suddenly lost it.
Why?
Why do people who fall for always et misfortune?
"Yihun-ah, are you trying to bring down with you?" Jacob asked, laughing. "Didn’t Father tell us that we’re allowed to kill other people— but killing among siblings is forbidden? That’s why we didn’t kill you back then."
"No, it wasn’t like you could kill even if you wanted to," Yuno said bluntly. Unlike Espers who couldn’t think straight while on the verge of a Rampage, his mind remained clear. He couldn’t do anything about the erratic beat of his heart, but he could ignore the voice in his head telling him to "let loose." Well, at least for now. "Father couldn’t do shit about Esper Ryu Sungbin-ssi back then."
Jacob’s arrogant smirk finally disappeared.
After all, this Hyung-nim is Father’s number one fan.
"Yihun-ah, you can get all cheeky with . But don’t insult our Father," Jacob said, raising the walking cane as if to hit Yuno with it. "I won’t kill you— but I can beat you to a pulp."
Yuno grabbed the cane before it hit him.
As expected, the "gemstones" attached to the cane were all Cores— Cores from dead Guides, displayed as if the owner wanted to show them off.
Hah!
Yuno was still angry, but that anger suddenly subsided when he felt that.
Hyung?
Ki Gayoon’s Mana suddenly dropped— not to the Red Zone, but to nothingness.
It was as if his Esper suddenly disappeared.
No, Hyung...!
Yuno was about to turn around and check on Ki Gayoon, but...
BANG! BANG! BANG!
***
YUNO is on the verge of a Rampage?
Ki Gayoon was confused as Noh Yuno was a Guide— and Guides weren’t supposed to go on a Rampage like Espers.
However, it wasn’t the ti to be confused.
Gayoon forced himself to move— removing the stone spears that impaled his body one by one. Of course, he used his Mana to block the cut vessels so he wouldn’t die from blood loss.
After that, he pulled a gun from his Inventory.
Yes, a gun— an ordinary gun, to be precise.
If the enemy can nullify your powers, then pull a gun and shoot the bastard.
Based on Gayoon’s observation, that Jacob bastard was a Guide.
And Guides weren’t immune to gunshots since they couldn’t use their Mana as armor, unlike Espers. It was true that Guides were stronger than average Civilians, but that didn’t an they had the sturdy body of Espers.
Moreover, that bastard is distracted so let’s catch him off-guard.
Gayoon quickly unlocked the gun, and then he pointed it at that Jacob bastard who was busy confronting Noh Yuno.
He then wished for two things before pulling the trigger.
First, I hope Noh Yuno’s eardrums don’t burst from this.
And second...
I hope I’m right and that Jacob bastard doesn’t have the sturdy body of an Esper.
