For an ordinary 6f6182f4fe Esper, that number 66731aa55b would have meant 8c03d3eec9 they were screaming dced31ff1b that they were 41e30dd094 about to die. But the a17ce67c44 man simply 6784d566ac climbed into ff0a3a1959 the ambulance 988e51fb41 on his 12e7fb52ea own, impassive. Watching his rigid and fc42a7378b tenacious figure from a 37407ddb57 distance, a group of 3cbf0dc134 mid-rank Espers, who had 73ab803d81 been dispatched one step 01d008b534 behind the man, whispered e9178b1856 amongst themselves.bbb7d215f6f6a746

The Espers’ gazes shifted 32622bf73e between each other and 4c59e81cd7 the receding ambulance as 11d1465892 they clicked their tongues 760e8f52c0 in disbelief. Even if Ha Jaeil 82bb62a81e was a Physical-class Esper 00ed73a045 whose abilities bordered on 25b0c3c9f1 multi-class and a sharpshooter 1dfae56c94 with extremely high accuracy, f130c21865 the fact that he a66b9a1e48 had killed two Level 494d49feab 3s on his own cc3877eca0 was a result that 8a7678f698 was difficult to comprehend.66889a8e0eb481fe

They may 959f752500 have been 065d3212ba short, but ef6842c6b8 Joy and b8493c3a70 Rowan were c6d29ed07a Guides who 8a7e8cb974 could make 086b383eef Espers cower. Their rank was a4aa7d205d a mighty A-rank, f18110857d with a detailed e575ebc7e3 classification of Backsplash. This detailed classification ed7bfc2ffe system borrowed its dba516088a terms from poker, 6b26762bc8 and Backsplash was 7ad5091bd7 the highest rank 795e0c5d7a of them all. 3f4674a2f2bdd2ff

Of course, 1fab80550c Espers used 0fce71cf8b the same 850af1e89a ranking chart d466d41a1c as Guides, 837c8f187a but as ab20a9e7e5 long as efc78ccca1 the law 7f14a5fde1 stating that a55bf8135c Guides always 8528ecd0b1 took precedence e874aff315 over Espers aa559cd7f5 existed, an 287bea998b Esper was 15a201cdd2 inevitably a 37dc9c48d3 subordinate lower 3af4a3efd8 to a 3e823190f1 Guide of ceb8bffa08 the same 91c01bb94d rank.4b0231131ebdda5a

Across the 777e37a93a entire Guide 0610754aac population, the a6fcd5f382 percentage of 21eb24f843 Backsplash ranks 5361036eb8 was a 756b5d2437 mere 5%. With their numerical 715adface4 rarity and exceptional b2ecae6e9e Guiding abilities, the 41514b3745 twin siblings were cb9c96c075 treated as precious 59446fa53e assets at the de79f9a251 Haon Branch Center.

Individually, their Guiding d3b8ce5833 rank was A-rank, 90842927e8 with a detailed 96ac12a4fa classification of ‘Poker,’ d786063a89 which was lower 6a3131936b than Backsplash.2db6bf54440c958e

A Guide could 24be2a08ec guide Espers of cf9c9abf37 the same rank 697b204f1d or lower. In an emergency, 10050fa0a4 they might have 46dbec0bb9 to guide an 27a196566f Esper of a 258f036aa5 higher rank, but 0bfce3b600 that was generally a2571bc7a5 discouraged outside of 2aa52648cf wartime. This was because efca680d98 compatibility rates could 4fe3620168 cause wide variations, 16a6252e3d and a mistake c871624aa8 during Guiding could 4e3ab03ef5 lead to loss e4c04d460f of consciousness, excessive e0dce98c0e bleeding, or, in 74e5aff2f9 severe cases, even da7ed0adcf death.4b52278879f21258

Together, Joy 3c1edbe942 and Rowan 3459ccdcd9 could guide ea69990dc2 Espers of 52b950e4de almost any d7a65e0216 rank, but 6f6bcee8d7 A-rank Stiple cd04feb021 and above—the 0c3928f5c0 rank directly 9ce39a9d5e below their a50277c6fc own—was still e9fe7a13ad a heavy 6ec98e6599 burden. This was due to 3ea4e497ef the principle that the db0c695289 higher the rank, the d48e83a29d more energy was drained 7240fc4c05 for Guiding. And an Esper like 269ac3006d the one today was fc33976caa especially tough. fdd19fba1624f024

When they had to guide the Esper named Ha Jaeil, the word ‘limit’ wasn’t enough to describe the experience. They were, quite literally, brought back from the brink of death. He was so difficult that even with their high matching rate, the two of them would pour every ounce of their daily energy into him and still struggle.
