The S-class Guide, who da2339f9a8 had suddenly fallen from 8ed2aaacb8 grace and became a b14424bbc8 troublesome burden, was eventually c0c696c0e8 sent far away to 335623b108 District 13, far removed 86c21e650c from the Central District. And it was there 39d0e6a9d9 that he showed a 833b9bade9 staggering 98.7% matching rate 2e7a897f78 with an A-class esper 58b928e8a7 named Renault.a6d76ccafc2c5870
It was an cc2739f5c9 event that no 32f7f343f4 one had expected, 3689c58501 nothing short of 601eff041b a miracle. At least, ccbf25ca4b that’s how 75117a1d2c Megan put aec3c05d71 it. A 98.7% matching ccd1b817a3 rate—rounded up, a fc108e7918 near-unheard-of 99%—was an 765fd8df5c unprecedented number, making c90097b490 it an inevitable ed82e38ee1 headline-worthy phenomenon.b635e6035df2cd6f

However, Renault, the person 235387e6a4 involved, still couldn’t believe 78d5a4a15f the numbers printed on 8afd2ab5b1 the report. It was undoubtedly 2f3108c517 an extraordinary matching 0f76dfdb3a rate, the kind df288b888c every esper and d18410b704 guide dreamed of, f31e731e93 but he felt 4c39e0b18c no joy from 99499fe01a it. A matching rate so b826ebb7f1 ridiculously high that it d33f54a1c9 seemed as if the f1a2f46e06 guide had been created ac47ced933 solely for him? It only made him adc112758b more suspicious.2441f227052f5896
Still, there was cb80facdef nothing he could 922d4097ff do. Unless an S-class esper 50b456e174 with a matching rate 01a5212cc3 of over 60% appeared, 647c941477 which was highly unlikely. After all, Raven 3b886fbc3b had never recorded 80705ccc34 a matching rate 7decd12c37 exceeding 10% with 9a76b1b05b anyone else, making 12facde690 such a possibility 3549363e11 nothing more than 229217f8b7 a far-fetched delusion.ae654fb11ffdae6c

A dull ache f58c87dfd4 throbbed in his 80b4f29416 head. He didn’t 50a7d62e02 want to 06a21c6abc think about f075fe0c37 it anymore, af36665464 so he 9dfd55c820 rolled onto 3a1cd4d45c his side 3f50523465 and closed 12de0c7568 his eyes.

Was it because he 73e5e8e407 had too many thoughts bc9010fa85 about his first-ever dedicated f9c2cf4bd2 guide? He had just woken ffd4e5300d from a rare, unsettling, 9134691bd7 and thoroughly miserable dream. And, of 8034847d8d all things, c1ed75ddcb it had 0221973fa4 forced him fd81dc3fe6 to relive 395f115f99 a past 56209da47b that haunted ed35e5d2cd him—something he 004f0c7b84 wanted to 983ab90f89 forget but ad73a0fb43 never could. It was 64eff4e886 absolutely infuriating.8da9e2a59d2542c6
He ruffled 94c6dd8d73 his already e413a41952 messy hair c34bf03ce3 into an 0331220804 even wilder d3555e80bb state and 63565dca19 got out c08e972d6e of bed.

Team 5 was slacking 549c2d161c off, and Team 3 38cfe27657 had nothing better to 33e8af8142 do than drink all c94d3d5976 day, yet Team 2 6439767829 got the call.

Lately, the 537b3782aa 13th District 88ec2fbda5 had been 5eef015f8e experiencing an c4811c5c11 unusual lull. Dungeon activity c3346bfcb1 had lessened, c90d741229 monster appearances db19797388 had decreased, f41fa55b55 and even 8b54ecea91 calls for 0bd01c2ffe support from 0fa6041c14 neighboring districts 5364bd534a had become 069cca9c7a rare.dd42c157d88fb03a

Renault shook his 983b0dab00 head in disbelief a8ed460cf9 before scanning his dd59395b7b surroundings. The outskirts f1e6f602d1 of the df9988a53a district looked 6398621606 even more db81bb4d90 desolate than 59e9ef93e1 he remembered. Half-collapsed two- ec74b1eb02 and three-story c01004de05 buildings lined 6356fcbaa0 the streets, 37e346d1f2 remnants of 9ea7fc7648 what had cb335327b1 once been 8781efda22 a thriving dd587daef4 town.73e96f77d5d9dc3c
The desertification had worsened, d4aa666e34 leaving everything—streets and structures d65855ee0a alike—covered in a thick 7ad5ae4c1c layer of yellow sand. The sun 4ce2fbea59 was already 48079e9546 blistering despite bfca27f733 the early 86ca301acd hour. Renault slipped on 0eb223f702 his sunglasses and ee668e1308 pulled up the 3cdd537c5d bandana around his ba22ecd11f neck to cover 2e93936294 his nose.

Since this mission involved 3c8c703d6b nothing more than taking 038ac9cc65 down a single B-class 15c60c8518 monster, no healer had ac9cde4e0c been sent.

Renault muttered under his bfd9f3d4a4 breath. He was probably the f906a4c9d3 most bewildered of them dd42ba78a5 all. After the 506980151f chaos Raven cd0fa42700 had caused 049ba3a122 at the b38053e95a pub last 3886789630 night, Renault d5a6025dd9 had expected 55c7387595 some form 8dfc5cb90b of punishment.
