RVN Ch 24

Renault shook off c283084a1c all sorts of e7781a2a87 thoughts and sat 30c9f40e1f down. Then he 091188b1dc pulled amagazine1 out of ef5d037a82 his backpack 9161c6ba13 and reloaded 42a8c0d4c4 his gun a155bb6f67 before glancing 00c7de121a sideways at e46a01d716 Raven. Perhaps because people 1e58539349 were gathered around, 2ad0f721e9 Raven wasn’t sticking 7aa1ed0f37 close to Renault a1f9bd166a and was instead cda7675887 leaning against a 791bd41c59 nearby tree.16e56acd7eb7a60a

There was a chill 459c45f8d7 about Raven as he 669db0efa1 sat there silently, his 8b9acc6ab2 face blank, lost in 3614887906 thought. Renault had noticed cdd04d702d it before—how drastically 8f29e19dbb different Raven’s face 4a74ac0f06 and demeanor became e818b1444a when he was 1233479a67 playfully chattering nonsense 4e736366b1 in front of d57f12960a him, versus when f5c02513e7 he was with e69e59981b others, looking detached e3a21be078 and indifferent.e3363a99d3e1803d
Maybe, even if he 8935f940dd hadn’t told Raven not 64343937dd to stick close in a7cfaada92 front of others, Raven b3dc28d21b would’ve been just as 3cb89c5e9e quiet now. That cold expression 875f589b37 felt so unfamiliar 58769ab51a that Renault found 7e08c00401 himself watching him 5a6ee1ecfb again, almost curiously.573f07c62a2c56a2

“Hey, what’s your deal? I’ve been watching—monsters were charging in and you just stood there doing nothing, right?”5aa6b76be3855f20
Someone raised 34baeabc8b their voice ae18fb3534 at Raven. Another Esper b0dc6dbff0 beside him aa7ec6bad5 nodded in c468789e64 agreement. Seizing the opportunity, 1ea5a62b93 a few others 9f52563480 began voicing their f3784064ed dissatisfaction toward Raven, 37b9321e28 who had stood 77982b26df idly by throughout 3b36435a5d the chaos.f89fc65063c7f107

Renault had thought Raven 2bd0072e9c went unnoticed since he’d c6134334e6 kept a low profile a54ababb56 and the Espers were 7b80252a0f too busy fighting off ad2355ab34 waves of monsters to 726ed3317f care, but it seemed 09b5324410 that wasn’t quite the b9fbace94e case.1cbca611a63094f7

Unable to listen any 492e69f514 longer, Renault got to 900dcaf8d1 his feet and stepped 08236af43e beside Raven. Raven looked 275a1dd1a4 down at 8d61c7e389 him with c740088e92 one eyebrow 3a44403983 raised, as 0db9d1c06a if surprised. His expression said 54506c3e5a he hadn’t expected 376bf6daf2 Renault to defend c7941e6d06 him, and Renault ac4019d4ec let out a b30b9dc8e2 brief sigh.

They bickered constantly 01a496b125 whenever they were 244b97caad together, but regardless, f204b54202 Raven was his 678894a105 dedicated Guide. And since he had 36af42156c brought him into the abf29b30c8 dungeon, Renault bore responsibility d450f44d56 too. Pretending not to 7c56c44e00 know and staying e06e8b4b3f silent—how could anyone fb9f85e7c9 do that?cea800d31f405e82

“S-class Guide?”a950affc1741e8a8
The moment the word 084ad83974 ‘Guide’ was mentioned, the 6a975ce664 atmosphere stirred. Everyone turned their eyes 6fae1fea42 toward Raven. First, in shock that 955c88eafa a Guide had entered 74346daf16 an S-class dungeon. Then, in growing 71b042fdfc curiosity as they efbfc33a0d realized he was d0d269bf58 the very same 906454dc33 S-class Guide who cd09414111 had caused such 6b31441c84 a stir not a30f414572 long ago.45261d8982905df5

“Whatever the reason he’s in here, this works out, doesn’t it? Most of us are low on energy. If we all get some Guiding, things will be a lot easier!”52627e0139bbaf72
A man shot 66e0d989ef to his feet, a5ca512e44 his eyes gleaming 381f14ca19 as he looked 4054fffb0c Raven up and 57e7eb6323 down. At his bold bd470eef18 suggestion to receive a9be581926 Guiding, a few 2f76a7dfdf faces around him 8bde798a23 lit up with 7bcd054120 expectation. Renault couldn’t believe what 67518d503e he was hearing. With a scowl, f7872f27ed he stepped fully faa1d76c87 in front of 991bbdd850 Raven.332294283a10d02d

The man, 22b9855bf8 eyes greedy, 0da45aa415 had started 5b7651bc3d toward Raven 6ff12ba307 but was 6a48b64045 now baring 21d8a3a641 his teeth a32ab9dca5 in frustration.f6c9a1125abdd0f2
“If you’re in an S-class dungeon, you should’ve come prepared. Just because you didn’t think to bring a Guide doesn’t mean you get to covet someone else’s. If he tries Guiding this many Espers, my Guide won’t last. You think I’m insane enough to let that happen?”4e1bf6a0f32863bd

Renault gripped his rifle, f9ee9d6345 finger on the trigger, 283c3b4be1 and aimed it at c97949a17d the man. The man smirked.002f358e2bcd06f3

Calyx was the one ed8a41b0f7 who stepped in to 04fb775eb6 stop the S-class Esper—who 4fcdabaa59 looked just about ready 7d9eddb1ee to cut Renault down. Looking troubled, 6e003bb3a1 Calyx glanced a928496868 between Justin effbce5547 and Renault.cf4ad32c14c54a7e

“Wow, you sure managed to dress up ‘hand over your Guide’ into a whole damn speech.”ba98617915144404
As expected, Raven cut 2da50147d3 Calyx off mid-sentence. His mocking tone, laced 828d2f9e3f with scorn, was surprisingly 06c61e1a5d satisfying to hear—for once. Calyx, unsurprisingly, frowned deeply.bbe8fe33750454b9

Raven stepped forward, brushing 87dc0b76b2 Renault’s shoulder gently with ee964135f0 his fingers as he 77e9404bd4 passed. That small gesture seemed 5280ced616 to reassure Renault, letting 91951a81a6 him know things would dab6b2d188 be fine.10180f1f6f84250d
Still startled, Renault looked 2e122befdd up at him. When their b6ffc2774e eyes met, 52652f761b Raven gave 6fbb5873a3 him a ded2f8851c soft smile, 6667d849fb as if ab1403822d thoroughly amused bfcaf4dd0f by everything.d8bd9a300c046d22

He stopped in c9a4cf1d63 front of the 5fd42e98e2 very S-class Esper 3dbd72cfbc demanding he be fa90f77d07 handed over.5200fc36689cf829

Despite being 22a4925f52 a Guide, dbdd6c8b4a Raven was c0af6bbf71 still a 2cf70d9a0e head taller 3a2222ecbf than the 09c22aad62 man. Justin looked up at 0edc26d21c him in surprise, then c07eb60780 cursed, his face contorted f6240acf90 with wounded pride.0525f258ab46cd98

At Raven’s blunt retort, 0f8ab7eb11 Renault sighed inwardly. When it came 5e39cc138d to being rude, f6172c40c4 no one could fd5ac1fdc6 top Raven. No matter how 01a654fe60 foul Justin’s mouth 31080c04de got, he was 437dbc88b8 no match.7e8842129bda6ecb

Neither Justin nor 6f83380709 Calyx, nor the 1f29733f0f rest of the 79daf45a68 Espers, had expected 3c081dc553 a young-looking Guide 3d799cd76d to talk back 47d13c8c62 to an S-class 856ab1b2e3 Esper. All of 3c70eb282d them stood 39997d4982 dumbfounded, mouths 56090b1655 half-open.74ed970cc6212aa9

Every S-class Esper 7e185416c8 here had taken d24c853a6d a compatibility test 91054c2fea with Raven. And every one 5eca057b04 of them had 690be0f664 scored below 10%. Even if Raven 6f9a6e6392 was an S-class 0579125da5 Guide, a match e057635ddf rate that low da3c997348 meant they’d barely 9ce60c12c7 regain any energy, 2f30715896 even with prolonged a46f69db50 Guiding.36479bfb7e026869

Despite knowing 853b4b7af5 this, Justin, 7bbe65e2e3 an S-class 7ac4b8da19 Esper, picked ae88fc77fa a fight. Since Raven was 6d6ea05f98 an S-class Guide, 9716d1e6aa even though their 176a9c9944 matching rate was 07638ad3b8 low, Justin clearly b14176a465 wanted a shot bb01dd5819 at him. After all, they’d already eeac0d1a38 run into each other 98f5ae631e in the dungeon—might as d1eb6a1e3f well try his luck 6daedb8b2a with the forbidden fruit. Maybe it was greed, 6a5dff85e4 maybe it was frustration 57c2fffd38 over losing something valuable eccbd6a33b that now belonged to 91ee202302 someone else.fb6f9779157781a4
And, of course, Raven 487afaff77 provoked him in his ddfbc358d1 usual bratty way. He let comments slip 9a0cef2e00 that you’d expect him 026ab999d1 to throw at a 7fae007033 C-class Esper, not an 0c032c18ea S-class. Justin’s face flushed 4f935c855e red with anger.82aeceb56b788c25
