Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155: PERSONAL HELL

"DO YOU know why they died, Noh Yihun? It’s all because of you."

Yihun wasn’t in the right state of mind.

In fact, he felt like throwing up.

They were all killed...

The Guides that Yihun spent time with at the Death Camp were all gunned down.

Yihun clutched his chest.

He actually didn’t know if he was hyperventelating or he wanted to throw up. His chest hurt, his stomach felt weird, and he lost the strength in his knees.

Hence, he ended up on the floor.

"Stop acting like a wimp, Yihun-ah," Jacob said, squatting down and pulling Yihun’s hair to force him to look up at him. "This is all your fault, you know?"

"What are you saying..."

"The Lab decided to kill those Guides because you showed them your unique abilities as an E-Class Guide," Jacob said indifferently. "Do you know how much trouble you caused Teacher Yosef and Mr. Charles Kang? You know our existence as E-Class Guides is supposed to be a secret."

"What? You killed all those poor Guides just to keep our existence a secret?" Yihun asked in disbelief, catching his breath. "Do you think the Lab will be able to hide the death of those Guides? Especially now that the country is paying close attention to the Guides?"

"Don’t worry about that, Noh Yihun. Right now, the President is probably giving a speech about how the Guides who were rescued are now settled properly in their new home."

The President?

Even President Moon Nam-il— the South Korean President himself— was involved in the Lab’s sketchy business?

No wonder Yosef Lee and Charles Kang do whatever the fuck they want!

"Worry about yourself," Jacob said, slamming Yihun’s face against the floor. "Noh Yihun, the Lab will stop catering to you from now on."

Jacob Hyung-nim has changed drastically.

Yihun was only gone for a few months, and yet it looked like something big had changed in the Lab.

***

LEE Taesan’s death.

Im Sung’s death.

The death of the Guides rescued from the Death Camp.

Yihun wasn’t able to mourn properly.

He started the rebellion in the Death Camp because he thought it was his ticket to his freedom.

I just wanted to at least visit Taesan Hyung-nim’s resting place.

But then, after the success of their rebellion, Im Sung passed away.

Moreover...

BLERGH!

Yihun almost threw up not just because he remembered how his fellow Guides were gunned down one by one— but also because Jacob punched him in the stomach.

He was sent flying until his back hit the wall.

"I don’t understand why you’re called a genius when you can’t even change the flow of your Mana," Jacob said, kicking Yihun in the face. "Stop being stubborn, Noh Yihun. You need to learn how to use your Mana to fight like an Esper."

Yihun coughed up blood before asking: "Why do I have to learn how to fight like an Esper? Why do we need to do that when we’re Guides?"

"Because we can."

"What?"

"E-Class Guides are suitable to be Dual-Class weapons."

"’Dual-Class?’"

"You’re not stupid, so I know you understand what ’Dual-Class’ means," Jacob said, clutching his chest. "According to Teacher Yosef and Mr. Charles Kang’s studies, E-Class Guides have the potential to become both a Guide and an Esper."

So, that was Yosef Lee and Charles Kang’s goal.

They want to turn E-Class Guides into Dual-Class weapons?

Yihun thought it was stupid.

Not the part about being a Dual-Class, but the part where E-Class Guides weren’t given the freedom to choose.

It seemed like Yosef Lee and Charles Kang had completely brainwashed his peers.

"Jacob Hyung-nim, how can you change this much in just several months?" Yihun asked in a serious tone. "What did they do to you and the others?"

It wasn’t just Jacob.

All the Top 12 had also changed— they treated Yihun like he was an insect.

And the Top 12 has been divided into two groups.

Erwan, Warren, Janela, Ricky, Sven, and Nate belonged to a group called Upper 6.

They’re the elite group, so I only see them from afar from time to time.

However, the group known as the Lesser 6 would take turns in tormenting Yihun.

Jacob, Bibi, Sara, Aron, Liz, and a "secret member" belonged to this group.

And Jacob Hyung-nim is their leader.

Yes, Yihun no longer belonged to the Top 12.

But these bastards still keep involving me in everything.

"I’ll be accompanying Father on his business trip soon, so you’ll have a new instructor in the meantime."

"’Father?’"

"Ah, that’s what we call Mr. Charles Kang these days," Jacob said, smiling creepily at Yihun. "Yihun-ah, we all have used our abilities as E-Class Guides to pleasure Father. It should be your turn soon."

Blergh.

That sounded so disgusting that Yihun almost threw up again.

"Don’t make that face," Jacob said, kicking Yihun in the face again. "You should be honored that Father is still taking care of you even though you’re no longer a part of the Top 12."

It’s better if you just leave me alone...

Yihun wisely shut his mouth this time.

And he didn’t have the chance to speak anyway when the heavy doors of the training room burst open.

"Jacob Hyung-nim, I’m here~"

Argh.

"Noh Yihun, I’d like you to meet the last member of the Lesser 6— the one who stole your spot in the Top 12," Jacob said, smirking. "Surely, you still remember our Ni-ki."

"Ah," Yihun said indifferently. "You’re still alive, brat?"

Ni-ki smiled, and then the brat suddenly grabbed Yihun by the head and lifted him easily. "You stole my ability as a Guide, you bastard. If I wasn’t raised as a Dual-Class, I would have lost my worth to Father!"

What the fuck was this brat saying?

I stole his ability as a Guide?

Yihun would find out about his special abilities...

... while being the Lesser 6’s personal punching bag.

That was how he got familiarized with Jacob, Bibi, Sara, Aron, and Liz’ special abilities as Dual-Class weapons.

Yihun was the only one who couldn’t fight like an Esper until the end.

***

OF COURSE, it didn’t end in physical abuse.

Yihun once again had suffered through a mental breakdown.

BANG! BANG!

Those were gunshots.

Charles Kang, now the so-called ’Father’ in the Lab, gunned down an E-Class Guide form the ’regular class’ and his Esper.

Yihun clutched his chest tight, his heart getting squeezed painfully.

A warning that E-Class Guides shouldn’t Imprint with Espers if they want to live.

***

Am I not doing that already?

It’s pretty dark in here, so I can’t really see anything yet.

Even the corpses of the Guides from the Death Camp are here...

Kim Minhyuk-ssi...?

Even after death, these bastards can’t still respect Guides...!

No, I won’t do it...

Ah, I’m on a Rampage.
