Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70: DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD

76%.

Yuno wasn’t really surprised when he got a 76% matching rate with Ryu Sungbin, Lee Sarang, Matthew, and Jin Sooin.

I mean, I’ve always known I’m compatible with all of them.

But the naturally awakened Espers didn’t know that.

Hence, Ryu Sungbin, Lee Sarang, Matthew, and Jin Sooin all looked at Yuno as if he was an alien before they left the conference room earlier. The naturally awakened Espers in the country weren’t that free to stay around since they had work to do, so the four natural S-Class Espers left after getting the result of the compatibility test.

Right now, Yuno was in the conference room with only Chief Kim Munhee, Moon Noa, and Bambi.

The chief and even the Team Leader looked like they were still in disbelief at the results.

As far as I know, only their current Guides of the current Top 5 Espers had a matching rate with them that exceeds 75%. So, the result is really shocking for them.

"76%," Chief Kim Munhee said in disbelief while checking the documents in her hands. "You exceeded the 75% mark with all the naturally awakened S-Class Espers in our country, Guide Noh Yuno-ssi. This has never happened before."

Right?

The naturally awakened S-Class Espers only had a matching rate that exceeded 75% with their current Guides. Before finding their current Guides, the highest match that the naturally awakened S-Class Espers had with other Guides only reached 30%.

So, it was shocking that Yuno had a 76% matching rate with them.

That means I can do 19+ stuff with them, if necessary.

"How about the results with Espers in other classes?" Chief Kim Munhee asked, turning to Bambi who was holding some documents in his hands. "Did it exceed the 75% mark, too?"

"No, Chief Kim," Bambi said while checking the documents in his hands. "Guide Noh Yuno-ssi had a compatibility test with one Esper for each class: A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, D-Class, and F-Class. Guide Noh Yuno-ssi had a 7% matching rate with Espers from C-Class, D-Class, and F-Class, while he got a 13% matching rate with the A-Class and B-Class Espers."

Chief Kim Munhee frowned. "That’s awfully low."

Right?

Yuno silently agreed with the Chief.

And that’s why the Lab Researchers thought E-Class Guides were useless, at first.

"How about Guide Noh Yuno-ssi’s matching rate with Esper Yang Youngjae?"

Yes, Yang Youngjae was also summoned to the National Guide Burea earlier to take a compatibility test with Yuno.

Because Yang Youngjae is a non-natural S-Class Esper.

Fortunately, Yang Youngjae had been discharged from the hospital already.

He’s still an S-Class, after all.

"Guide Noh Yuno-ssi has a 21% matching rate with Esper Yang Youngjae, Chief Kim," Bambi said, closing the envelope in his hands. "It’s low even though Esper Yang Youngjae is also an S-Class Esper."

"As I said earlier, I’m only compatible with naturally awakened S-Class Espers," Yuno explained politely. "I’m useless to other classes."

"You’ve known you’re compatible with naturally awakened S-Class Espers all this time," Chief Kim Munhee said in a serious tone. "But you hid this valuable information from the government. You know that it’s a crime, don’t you?"

"Yes, it’s a crime if I hid it from the government," Yuno said, nodding. "But I didn’t. The previous President and the previous Chief of the National Guide Bureau know about my ability."

"The previous Chief of the National Guide Bureau is me," Moon Noa said cheerfully. "And the President in power at the time we discovered Yuyu’s ability would be Kwak Hakjae. So, Yuyu didn’t hide his abilities— it was me and ex-President Kwak Hakjae who asked him to keep it a secret. Oh, President Cheol Kang knew about Yuyu’s real class. But he doesn’t care."

Because President Cheol Kang is just a puppet figurehead.

Chief Kim Munhee let out a sigh. "Then why didn’t you and Kwak Hakjae-ssi hide Guide Noh Yuno-ssi’s existence from me? I’m the Chief of the National Guide Bureau now." The chief slammed her hands on the table. "Did you hide it from me on purpose, Guide Moon Noa-ssi?"

"Hehe," Moon Noa said, faking an annoying "cutesy laugh." He even knocked on his head. "Sorry, I forgot."

Aigoo.

Sometimes, my boss is so embarrassingly childish...

"Moon Noa!" Chief Kim Munhee yelled while getting up from her seat, her face red from anger. It seemed like the chief had forgotten her manners because she was now talking to Moon Noa casually. "Are you still taking me lightly?! Ever since we were students, you’ve always looked down on me!"

Uh-oh.

Right, there are only a few legit chaebol families in Korea. Of course, Sajangnim and Chief Kim Munhee have known each other since they were kids. And it seems like Chief Kim Munhee sees Sajangnim as a rival or something.

"I never looked down on you, Munhee Noona," Moon Noa said playfully, and then he turned to Yuno. "Yuyu, can you give us privacy?"

"Guide Noh Yuno-ssi isn’t allowed to leave this building yet," Kim Munhee said sternly. "If Guide Noh Yuno-ssi steps out of the building without my permission, I’ll mobilize Ryu Sungbin, Lee Sarang, Matthew, and Jin Sooin to arrest him."

"The Espers belong to the Espers Association, so it’s funny how much power you have over the country’s Top 5— except for Yoonyoon, of course," Moon Noa said, smiling. "Munhee Noona, is it fun to use the Top 5’s Guides to control the country’s Top 5’s Espers?"

Kim Munhee fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room turned cold.
