Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288: ARTIFICIAL CORES

WHEW.

It took a while, and it took a lot of Mana, but Moon Noa managed to purify half of the corrupted part of the Core that Noh Yuno left in his hand.

He wasn’t satisfied, though.

Only half of the Artificial Core was corrupted, and I only purified half of it. Meaning, I only purified a small part of it and yet, I spent so much time and Mana on it.

"Can I try purifying the remaining half, Noa-ssi?"

"Go ahead, Lucca-ssi," Moon Noa said, nodding. "It’s all yours."

Lucca, nicknamed the ’Golden Angel,’ smiled and nodded back politely. "Thank you, sir."

When Lucca began working on the corrupted Artificial Core, Moon Noa checked on the other people in the room.

Yuyu left again.

He heard Noh Yuno talking to 17 earlier, but he didn’t get to eavesdrop properly because he was busy concentrating.

I just know that they had to leave in a hurry.

"Whew. I wonder how Yuno makes it look easy when it’s not?"

Moon Noa turned to Jericho.

The world-class Guide had finally succeeded in extracting the Artificial Core from the ’zombie.’

Yeah, it also took Jericho a while to do that.

While Yuyu only did that in a minute.

"That’s the thing about geniuses— they make things look easy, and they don’t understand that what’s easy for them is actually difficult for most people," Moon Noa said, smiling while shaking his head. "Congratulations, Jericho. Extracting Artificial Cores seems to be a job for E-Class Guides."

Jericho blinked, and then he chuckled. "I’m sorry— but I didn’t mean to hide the fact that I’m an E-Class Guide. I know that you understand why, Noa."

"Of course. I wasn’t being sarcastic, by the way," Moon Noa said, clearing the misunderstanding immediately. "I mean it when I said extracying Artificial Cores seems to be a job for E-Class Guides. It’s not something ordinary Guides could do— not even an S-Class Guide like me."

It wasn’t like Moon Noa gave up easily.

But it was the System itself that let him know he didn’t have the skills to do what Noh Yuno could do.

[Error.

Your class does not match the required class for the task.

Extracting Artificial Cores is a job for E-Class Guides.]

That was what Moon Noa’s personal Status Window said earlier.

"Is that what the System said to you, Noa?"

"Hmm?"

"Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like you have a personal Status Window," Jericho said, smiling. But the world-class Guide’s eyes actually looked calculating at the moment. "I’m sorry, but you weren’t being discreet when you stared blankly into the air. It’s as if you were looking at something that only you could see."

"Even Espers do not have their own personal Status Window yet. So, what makes you arrive to that conclusion?"

"My gut feeling?"

"Good enough," Moon Noa said, smiling. "People who listen to their gut feeling usually survive long."

"Am I correct, then?"

"You’ll find out soon."

They shouldn’t be talking about personal Status Windows so openly in the first place.

Fortunately, Lucca didn’t seem to care as he was busy purifying the corrupted Artificial Core.

Lee Woonhak, on the other hand, was literally inside his own bubble.

Our dear Healer locked himself up inside a barrier that works like a quarantine tent.

"Then I assume it’s a top secret for now. Don’t worry, I’m good at keeping my mouth shut," Jericho said, and then he focused on the Artificial Core in his hands. "Noa, do you mind if I purify this myself?"

It seems like he arranged those flowers himself.

I’m already embarrassed for my wrong assumption.
