"KID, are you alright?"
Hmm?
Yihun was pretty surprised when he woke up with a clear mind.
The last thing he remembered was going on a Rampage. Hence, it was a surprise that he woke up somber.
But maybe he was still dreaming.
After all...
"Are you really Moon Noa-nim or am I being delusional?"
A handsome older man was squatting down next to Yihun, looking down at him with interest in his eyes.
That golden hair... and that ridiculously handsome face...
It could only be Moon Noa— one of the most good-looking Guides in the world.
Even his visuals are S-tier.
"You’re not being delusional— I’m the real Moon Noa."
Yihun let out a sigh of relief. "Fucking finally, sir. You’re late."
"You’re not the first person who said that to me," Moon Noa said as if he were amused. "I didn’t know I was famous among kids in the Lab."
"Did you get my SOS letter, sir?"
"As expected— you are Noh Yihun."
"Yes, sir."
"You caused quite an explosion— it’s a miracle that you’re still alive. It seems like something has protected you," Moon Noa said, looking around as if he could see something Yihun couldn’t. "The Mana lingering around you is strange. It doesn’t seem like it belongs to you, though. I would know since I’m an S-Class Guide."
"Sir, I don’t understand what you’re saying. In fact, I don’t give a damn."
Moon Noa just chuckled, and then he stood up while extending his hand to Yihun. "Let me help you, kid."
"As you should, sir."
Once again, the S-Class Guide just laughed, and then he pulled Yihun up easily.
But damn.
Yihun realized that it was too early for him to move when his knees almost collapsed— every inch of his body hurt like hell.
Thankfully, Moon Noa caught him before he fell to the floor.
"Do you want to lay down again, kid?"
"No, sir. I’m fine..."
Oh.
Yihun trailed off when he saw what was in front of him.
It was Charles Kang...
... who was about to be burned to death by Ryu Sungbin.
Oh my gosh, thank you!
"I can read your expression, kid," Moon Noa said, laughing. "Do you want that man dead?"
"Yes," Yihun said firmly, turning to Moon Noa with pleading eyes. "Please kill that monster, sir."
"Sure."
Hmm?
Yihun expected Moon Noa to ask Ryu Sungbin to kill Charles Kang since the powerful Esper looked like he was about to do it anyway.
However, the S-Class Guide stepped forward while putting on a pair of gloves.
"I’m curious anyway as to how Charles Kang became a monster like this."
Right?
Yihun wasn’t dreaming when Charles Kang transformed, huh?
That old bastard hard really turned into a monster.
"Sungbin-ah, I’ll do it," Moon Noa said. "Just don’t let that old bastard escape."
Ryu Sungbin closed his hand, causing the flame that materialized above his hand to disappear. Then the Esper stepped aside to give way to Moon Noa. "Yes, Hyung. I tied that old bastard with Mana. Rest assured, he can’t escape even if he wants to."
Oh, right.
Come to think of it, Yihun could see red ’ropes’ around Charles Kang’s body— thin ropes that looked like they were on fire.
It was as if Charles Kang was being roasted slowly.
Nice one.
"You’re going to kill me, Moon Noa?" Charles Kang asked, scoffing. This old bastard couldn’t move anymore, but he sure could still run his mouth. "I know you’re an S-Class Guide. But you weren’t raised like my little experiments. You’re not built to be an Esper. So, how are you going to kill me—"
A little heads up wouldn’t have hurt, you know?
To be honest, Moon Noa-nim has the aura of an Esper.
Serves him right.
