Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100: PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

HOW ELSE am I supposed to explain it?

Yuno’s brain buffered for a moment.

Hence, he stared blankly at the people around him.

Why did I forget I’m not qualified to teach?

Right now, Yuno was in the Training Hall 1 with Bambi, Mo Hanjin, Kim Jaeha, and Rebecca.

Training Hall 1 was like a small arena, and it looked bland.

The walls, the bleachers, the floor, and the ceiling were all white with a touch of gold.

God, the color palette in this room is so depressing.

Their uniforms, too.

All of the Top 5 Guides wore a white tracksuit with a golden emblem on the left part of the chest area.

It was the symbol of the National Guide Bureau.

Anyway, it wasn’t safe for the most elite Guides of the country to gather in one place. So, of course, their "bodyguards" were there.

The arena had a second floor— aka the Balcony— with a glass wall.

From there, they could see Lee Sarang, Matthew, and Jin Sooin watching them while sitting on spacious and soft-looking sofa chairs.

I wish I was there, too.

"How do you do it, Guide Noh Yuno-ssi?" Bambi asked. In fairness, he sounded curious and not annoyed even though they didn’t have progress for the past two hours since their training began. "I get that you imagine coating your heart with a gem similar to a diamond. But how do you get to that thought process."

Oho?

Bambi’s question actually made sense.

Since Team Leader questioned my thought process, it made me realize my own method, step by step.

Was that the reason Bambi was the Team Leader?

Anyway...

"Watch the flow of your Mana," Yuno said while looking at his arms. "Our Mana is like blood flowing in our veins. Then, slowly gather your Mana in the center of your heart. When we are Guiding an Esper, we release the Mana in our Core until it spread in our body. So, when our Espers touch us, our Mana gets transferred to them. Now, let’s do the opposite."

He raised his head, checking his "students."

Thankfully, everyone seemed to be listening intently.

Good.

"Let’s do the opposite this time," Yuno continued with his explanation. "Gather all the Mana that is spread in your body. Imagine your blood carrying your Mana through your veins until it reach your heart."

One by one, the elite Guides around him slowly closed their eyes.

Yes, they’re starting to get it.

That encouraged Yuno to continue with his lesson.

"Then, once your Mana is gathered in the center of your heart, imagine your Core as a transparent crystal ball," Yuno said, hoping that his explanation was better this time. "Then use the excess Mana to create a fake Core. Once you successfully imagine a bigger transparent crystal ball, imagine putting the smaller Core inside. After that, once the Core is inside the bigger crysal ball, imagine it melting."

"And then imagine it hugging the Core until it’s crystalized, right?"

It was Bambi.

When Yuno turned to the Team Leader.

He wasn’t surprised to see Bambi’s chest area releasing a golden aura— the symbol that said the Team Leader succeeded in protecting his Core.

As expected of an S-Class Guide.

Moon Noa also got it right away.

Yes, I already taught Sajangnim this technique. Hence, he isn’t here.

But that didn’t mean Moon Noa was slacking off.

My boss is in charge of organizing the party while we’re training.

"Team Leader Bambi-ssi, you did well," Yuno said while lightly clapping his hands. "I’m proud of you."

"I can help you teach now," Bambi said, and then he paused for a moment before he opened his mouth to give a suggestion. "Guide Noh Yuno-ssi, instead of verbally explaining the process to them, is it possible to help them feel the flow of their Mana first?"

Oh.

Was that the problem all this time?

Yuno turned to Mo Hanjin, Kim Jaeha, and Rebecca. "You can’t feel the flow of your Mana?"

"I think I’m speaking for all of us when I say we actually don’t pay attention as to how our Mana moves," Rebecca, who seemed to be the "spokesperson" among the three (since Mo Hanjin rarely talked and Kim Jaeha was too shy to speak his mind), said worriedly. "We awakened as high-class Guides, so we didn’t undergo any kind of training. Guiding comes naturally to us, so we didn’t bother learning how we do it."

Ah.

That was the stereotype for geniuses— that everything came "naturally" to them.

Of course, it was true at most occasions.

But, for Guides, it’s just ignorance.

***

GAYOON wasn’t really comfortable talking about Noh Yuno to other people, so he was grateful to Ryu Sungbin’s interruption.

"How’s Yang Youngjae?" Ryu Sungbin asked impatiently, standing next to Gayoon. Just like him, Ryu Sungbin had to raise his head because Lucca was taller than him, too. "Has he finally calmed down?"

Right.

Since Yang Youngjae’s Guide died tragically, the National Guide Bureau had to call Lucca to keep the Esper from Rampaging again.

We can only talk to Yang Youngjae once he’s calm.

There’s no way this bastard didn’t feel me and Ryu Sungbin coming.

Sleeping is mostly an escape goat for Espers on the verge of insanity.

He’s simply running away from reality.
