Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193: NATURAL S-CLASS ESPER

AH, IT’S here.

Yuno didn’t want to say this, but there was a story behind his ability to touch the insides of his chest without dying.

Ironically, he tried to harvest his own Core before with the intention of dying.

But he didn’t try to kill himself because he was tired of living— he did that out of spite since ’Father’ kept asking him to practice harvesting the Cores of dead Guides he would occasionally bring to him.

Yeah, I could die out of spite.

Of course, Yuno couldn’t be as petty as he was when he was younger.

A certain Esper would destroy the world if I died.

"Gayoon Hyung, please don’t make that face," Yuno said, smiling at Ki Gayoon to assure him that he was fine. Of course, he wasn’t just sure if he looked alright at the moment. "I already have the Esper Core in my hand."

Ki Gayoon frowned, and then he sighed— avoiding Yuno’s gaze. "Lee Sarang."

"I’m ready, Gayoon Oppa," Lee Sarang said, kneeling before Yuno while holding the treasure chest made of ice. The female Esper was looking straight at Yuno with a worried look on her face. "Yuno-ya, I’ll seal the Ice Cube as soon as you put it in."

Yuno, whose energy was draining fast, nodded. "Okay, Noona. I’m pulling it out now."

Lee Sarang just nodded firmly.

Here goes nothing.

Yuno took a deep breath before he carefully pulled out the Esper Core from his chest.

It stung a bit, and blood kept dripping out of the hole in his chest— but the said hole quickly closed by itself as soon as he took out the Esper Core.

Without wasting any more time, he put the Esper Core in the Ice Cube.

Huh?

Lee Sarang quickly closed the Ice Cube, but Yuno was sure about what he saw.

The Esper Core was literally half of a normal Esper Core.

"It was cut," Yuno said weakly. The hole in his chest had completely closed up, and it didn’t hurt anymore. But it was like that because his Mana was working hard to heal him. Hence, he was quickly running out of strength. Still, as usual, he just couldn’t stop himself from running his mouth. "Everyone, if I faint, please check if I saw it right— if the Esper Core is really half of what it should be."

And, just like that, Yuno really fainted.

I’m sorry, Gayoon Hyung.

"GAYOON-AH, I’ve administered Mana IV drip to Madam, so he’ll be fine. His life isn’t in danger, and he’ll wake up as soon as his Mana is replenished."

Ki Gayoon heard Lee Woonhak’s good news, but he didn’t react.

That was probably why the healer kept talking.

"It doesn’t look like it, but the madam actually has an overflowing Mana," Lee Woonhak said carefully. "That’s what allows him to do things normal Guides can’t do. In fact, the madam’s heart is as big as an Esper’s."

Gayoon wasn’t surprised to hear that since Noh Yuno already told him about it.

He told me he’s a Dual-Class— an Awakened Person that is both a Guide and an Esper.

"Gayoon-ah, do you want me to prepare a room for you?" Lee Woonhak asked worriedly. "You can use some sleep."

"I’ll sleep here," Gayoon said. "That won’t put Noh Yuno in any harm, right?"

"Then I’ll tell everyone not to disturb you. But call me as soon as the madam wakes up."

"Yes, Hyung."

"Alright. I’ll check on Kwon Hojun then."

Gayoon nodded, and then he paused before he added: "Thank you, Hyung."

"Aww. This is the first time I heard you thank me that sincerely, Gayoon-ah," Lee Woonhak said teasingly. "We’re eternally grateful to our madam for turning you back into a decent human being, Boss."

"Hyung."

"Yes, yes, I’m leaving."

And Lee Woonhak quickly left the room.

Gayoon then stood up, took off his jacket, opened a few buttons of his shirt, and then he lay down next to the sleeping Noh Yuno.

Of course, he moved as carefully as possible as to not disturb his lover’s rest.

"Yuno-ya, I’m not upset," Gayoon said, closing his eyes while gently wrapping an arm around Noh Yuno’s waist. "You can do whatever you want— I’ll make sure to keep you alive."

He wanted to sleep, but his phone suddenly rang.

Tsk.

Gayoon snapped his fingers, and then his phone moved on its own until it fell on his hand.

It was Moon Noa calling.

Hence, it was a call that he couldn’t really ignore.

"What is it this time?"

<"Yoonyoon, you have to beat Ryu Sungbin completely or else, Japan might seriously wage war against South Korea for real.">

If Japan was mentioned, then Haru probably discovered something.

"Ryu Sungbin’s influence already reached Japan?"

<"I was surprised, too.">

"What did the prince bastard discover?"

<"A laboratory— a laboratory similar to the Lab where Yuyu was raised.">

Ah, is it because I’m an Esper?
