Renault shook e5e7d9c18a off all 982ac5d3d3 sorts of dcdb3ffde2 thoughts and e1eac7fd77 sat down. Then he c093a48ad5 pulled amagazine1 out of his backpack 29537a86f3 and reloaded his gun f53c221f7a before glancing sideways at 9a6e474cd6 Raven. Perhaps because people were b7575bd470 gathered around, Raven wasn’t a97ee70c6f sticking close to Renault 162cf3abc6 and was instead leaning 84d3e6edb5 against a nearby tree.9354db354746472b

There was e7e7f0ff51 a chill 30442671bb about Raven 95a4fbc134 as he 0522532bf9 sat there 19fe96f8b1 silently, his ba6cc7c500 face blank, 24d93daf33 lost in 19c2c2115f thought. Renault had noticed it 2fb2801983 before—how drastically different Raven’s 0956d0357e face and demeanor became 1c757e0be2 when he was playfully 8bca11c30c chattering nonsense in front ee153f124e of him, versus when 0e621e3d6f he was with others, 614f663acf looking detached and indifferent.69908989263187f4
Maybe, even if fbba43d72b he hadn’t told 2963671d88 Raven not to f973a3cd24 stick close in 6bb10b1385 front of others, b40028f461 Raven would’ve been 376c346374 just as quiet 3d17381abe now. That cold 7c46c2820e expression felt e96ef50c6c so unfamiliar 28f67dc08b that Renault 70d10269fb found himself e45290304a watching him d521d68791 again, almost af3122891a curiously.25dc05b126d99dbc

“Hey, what’s your deal? I’ve been watching—monsters were charging in and you just stood there doing nothing, right?”6b70bfb44ecc256e
Someone raised aff1de2884 their voice 43ac231361 at Raven. Another Esper beside a5e36bdb4b him nodded in b7908fb966 agreement. Seizing the opportunity, 787d603dff a few others d84d2898d9 began voicing their 609c16719f dissatisfaction toward Raven, 4a21b60360 who had stood bee83bb5d2 idly by throughout 76a5a31683 the chaos.db7c338013d2c900

Renault had thought ccd71d86ab Raven went unnoticed 5f440bb290 since he’d kept 2859a3b2de a low profile d0fd435d3f and the Espers 0276fafdee were too busy d3a2a1b92a fighting off waves b2f374a4bf of monsters to a06ff4b256 care, but it 7008a80907 seemed that wasn’t 892db8d718 quite the case.0c409a7272f05603

“He’s my Guide.”8fec08fc871dd3f7
Unable to listen d9829195f3 any longer, Renault edacb884f5 got to his 6086fa2038 feet and stepped a2b47dedb0 beside Raven. Raven looked down at ff31f776ba him with one eyebrow b0339b5a85 raised, as if surprised. His expression 72fbf052ae said he db4649b6fe hadn’t expected ef4f408a9e Renault to 4f3b694405 defend him, 34c9fee01e and Renault a107329e47 let out 7d89dabcf9 a brief c2e29ea92b sigh.

They bickered 98986d58ff constantly whenever 59b23343d0 they were b4883104a7 together, but a22b6e7eb3 regardless, Raven 453308120b was his 673010c7dc dedicated Guide. And since a3b81f2cf5 he had 1c41943175 brought him 4d32841268 into the 6ed99b14bc dungeon, Renault 8916a083d4 bore responsibility b3ce9b7cce too. Pretending not 767582d2fb to know 504d398659 and staying 346bf4485e silent—how could 443f7a2a05 anyone do ec6f178459 that?42cd1d8f7fdd862a

“Is he really a Guide? You’re not lying, are you?”01f3f7dd9ce2e779

“S-class Guide?”cb91864aaf45f357
The moment the 7fd3cad40c word ‘Guide’ was 7d8453cb17 mentioned, the atmosphere 2ffb429e14 stirred. Everyone turned d9014b706d their eyes 66eb5db010 toward Raven. First, in shock 396607d20c that a Guide b8823a6d4f had entered an 9d6d9197b6 S-class dungeon. Then, in growing curiosity eaa22912aa as they realized he 02e27fe16f was the very same 9e333cf233 S-class Guide who had 10f0661612 caused such a stir b99f530fdd not long ago.a1dd684030560608

“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!”3b4f796e053f53ee
A man shot to 22f460f232 his feet, his eyes 3f2e286bf2 gleaming as he looked 0e7f1663bf Raven up and down. At his bold suggestion 5d71ea5fdd to receive Guiding, a 9800219d8a few faces around him 26182e3027 lit up with expectation. Renault couldn’t 2f56693a00 believe what 6e01bdd50e he was b49b63b488 hearing. With a 11d467a418 scowl, he 0599b68289 stepped fully 1c751afa63 in front 0501ab3af7 of Raven.8b8299dbaefa9dd4

The man, eyes 98cdda7fc0 greedy, had started 9103d41785 toward Raven but 0c89f0af00 was now baring 32eb01c634 his teeth in 04bfdb9af3 frustration.7d5b29acb26a520f
“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?”9832a0a324eefdfe

“None of you would bat an eye if my Guide died—so why the hell should I save you? Just because I have a Guide, does that mean he’s obligated to Guide everyone? Don’t spout bullshit. If you want to survive in this dungeon, then do it on your own. And don’t get rude. Touch my Guide and I won’t let it slide.”b484ecc8448f1b3f

Renault gripped his f8fbeabc47 rifle, finger on 560c815478 the trigger, and f82a0c6c06 aimed it at 611acbaf89 the man. The man smirked.c8ab2838a0b3f7ea

“Justin. That’s enough.”fbe71e775c8ed070
Calyx was the e650a8bd10 one who stepped c90071f7cb in to stop 23f5754a26 the S-class Esper—who 43428523db looked just about 37f603dcc1 ready to cut a00b4bef03 Renault down. Looking troubled, Calyx glanced b58b670b15 between Justin and Renault.a24cd70e7325e259

Renault stared 2a561d759a coolly at 7b940025f5 him. He didn’t 8644b1edf5 need to ab041ee80e hear it 76b495a715 to know 7c5fdea091 exactly what 65ac83a060 Calyx was 792e263103 about to c0f247487f say.a793d6a874dc1fdc

As expected, 17a68e8d69 Raven cut 878a822050 Calyx off 65bf5821c1 mid-sentence. His mocking tone, 26731aee21 laced with scorn, cb5f0f74b3 was surprisingly satisfying 0fecc18607 to hear—for once. Calyx, unsurprisingly, frowned 1a5e318009 deeply.0d654614ec015ce6

Raven stepped 7079b67bb7 forward, brushing 59fb2b58c6 Renault’s shoulder fafd8ba07c gently with f1a539248c his fingers 2462fd523c as he 8c97dc10c6 passed. That small gesture df67503990 seemed to reassure 9dad5646f9 Renault, letting him 5a09b26776 know things would 44699c4ee1 be fine.24c49bff7a0f0166
Still startled, Renault looked d2b98b2333 up at him. When their 204a034f2d eyes met, bac0832904 Raven gave 169275741a him a abebc5c541 soft smile, b3a772d88a as if 7154697882 thoroughly amused c3d01864dd by everything.f44cb0660791661f

Despite being a a0124ef3a1 Guide, Raven was 89c4800b6f still a head 777f52a3f8 taller than the d4149ec941 man. Justin looked up 2b8dd3cc0d at him in e42743c65a surprise, then cursed, 8fab4b33ce his face contorted e554161057 with wounded pride.3ffae9289f6c9c87

“I asked if your 2d0218f9d3 pathetic excuse for a 2f2046a6d5 body could even handle 5b7e658f8a receiving my Guiding. Do you 675e199330 really think 0647f9dcf5 you could 7915d61712 take it b9cac70276 all in?”276af9fcfa5ef56d
At Raven’s blunt cc1bcf9ab6 retort, Renault sighed 53ca98617b inwardly. When it aac74e1bd9 came to 56196df56e being rude, b1463e36bd no one dc98e54ac0 could top 4a9e221f55 Raven.

Neither Justin 6fe59accf0 nor Calyx, 6b3f6a9cc7 nor the fcb981a261 rest of ed63d4f8dd the Espers, fd5beb95e9 had expected c2188f8fbf a young-looking 3964cc92ee Guide to 1d2f120604 talk back 70b63b126f to an a8a0a314da S-class Esper.

Every S-class Esper 86c7c2497c here had taken 2bc6ae5527 a compatibility test 903d16b569 with Raven. And every one of 0e7bb74598 them had scored below 16b50c6e1e 10%. Even if Raven was 3fb13bb61f an S-class Guide, a 0379e6e9de match rate that low 7b7fbcf739 meant they’d barely regain 0976fef548 any energy, even with cb318ae25d prolonged Guiding.4307d68552b19485

Despite knowing this, 51089f2532 Justin, an S-class 184f24da4e Esper, picked a 2854a68acf fight. Since Raven was an 81ac74d71c S-class Guide, even though 0cfeaeb485 their matching rate was 8350504908 low, Justin clearly wanted 5fb30e056f a shot at him. After all, they’d 43e45e2e8d already run into c653de282e each other in ab93ab1a91 the dungeon—might as 22d0806130 well try his 80192c5b33 luck with the 157c9a7a3c forbidden fruit. Maybe it was greed, 3b6beb6cc1 maybe it was frustration 24fe048685 over losing something valuable fc4fc57309 that now belonged to 174e719fb4 someone else.73c707c0a7003243
And, of course, Raven 7c625ea599 provoked him in his 349d0f8ecb usual bratty way. He let comments slip 808ac05cfe that you’d expect him 11b4114557 to throw at a f4480c16d4 C-class Esper, not an 017e61d8f3 S-class. Justin’s face flushed cdabf062f0 red with anger.452a2841f6ba0ea4
