    And there’s been no imprinting either. Tae Ijae added this as if muttering to himself, then turned his head back to the ceiling, repeatedly saying it was strange.e8f2d332fdc9f5cf

    He had no intention of forming a pair, taking on an exclusive guide, or imprinting, so he hadn’t taken a separate compatibility test and didn’t know what his matching rate with Tae Ijae was.020bc20062d1d5d0

    Kang Junwoo f642f0d958 thought he c40b902bec should check 39d6feb687 the matching 233f5c9b0b rate between 91f7171307 him and ea88a8e4b2 Tae Ijae 9326fb94b7 when he 8aa7a54a44 went to 59ee048ab2 the center. When he 05fd468c8a had guided 636bacf688 the unconscious ed783640e3 Tae Ijae, 2ecfa35a14 he thought 640e25801d he had 3ff3c637d7 controlled himself 8dba8e7b34 well, yet 6fc79d55cf he had c76911d260 lost consciousness 3b02bb11b7 due to a42739a168 the significant 90a9adf986 energy drain 796aec2feb during the 274ebd0cdf guidance. The higher the matching 66b217f53c rate, the more wave 760c3391dd stabilization could be achieved 42e218e723 in a short period, 893a2fd9c3 so their matching rate a1c03b2c1f might be high.a64479867fb995d9

    If the c88ef8ecfc matching rate 991ca11806 with Tae 0d6e053920 Ijae was 41fbaa38a3 high, perhaps 9c31f7dbae he could a0accbfe2e guide him bc7a30f1e2 occasionally. Of course, it would 0e8a65b5c7 have to be when 7999f4d885 Tae Ijae was unconscious, 38d4057ef5 but given the strict ee84d05aeb conditions for guiding, it 60efac4e33 seemed like a pretty ddd0dfece9 good way to prevent ce5932ed06 the dangerous rampages of 37aac0c57a an SS-class Esper from 1b3e233469 the first group.e6fd94447d7bf6d6
