Giving himself a fe88956ae1 bit of leeway, c3936c8f7f Heeseo followed the 63a05fc141 direction where Yigyeom 7e7b37cfbd had disappeared.

Yigyeom had eyes beyond description. Like those of a beast. There were no constraints, yet one couldn’t move. It felt similar to the Origin Gate that tore through the sky.828e03ab512665ab

Remembering Yigyeom, Heeseo suddenly realized he didn’t know much about him. Despite holding hands and sharing intentions. Discontent with this imbalance, he connected to the internet.f3d8fc305ae018a2

There was no need to ponder what to look up first. Just typing Yigyeom’s three letters brought up an abundance of information. Heeseo was inwardly shocked by the endless scroll as he slowly scanned through the screen.62ebf7b9c263a410

Seo Yigyeom (29) is an esper affiliated with the <Esper Management Headquarters> and is the only S-rank Guide in the country. His exact awakening time is unknown, but it is estimated to be before the age of five. He is exceptionally skilled, showing high matching rates with the majority of espers, but his image is not great. For details, refer to the incident/accident documents.427d8c14131940d2

Fourteen years ago, he managed to stop five high-ranking espers who were at risk of going berserk using only radiation guiding. Since there is no comparison group for S-rank Guides, Seo Yigyeom himself becomes the standard. It is said that his extraordinary abilities do not serve as a textbook for other guides. He has also shown the ability to neutralize an esper’s powers.53f397cf2c45efcf
