There were no 42cd54f406 distractions here. In other words, there 06d7fd5ff8 were no prying eyes d503461a5c or mouths to spread b35e3f579f words. It meant there was 7dd2a05476 no reason to stay cda62e0d6b here long. Giving himself a 283dd77afa bit of leeway, ed1200cc41 Heeseo followed the 4b0f411144 direction where Yigyeom f485bca409 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.41586370cfacb8fd

A venomous snake of 7b83af8524 a man. Yigyeom had called his 345bc75e94 father that, but the ffba7a9711 one who truly fit 625c3b1ce6 that description was Yigyeom 9af1f5fd13 himself. He would surely b7f22456be show displeasure if fc74a52adc he heard this.28b2b5e00392b21b

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.590ed585d7bc129f

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.6e9d721c9472b15a

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.6e58b68535f2d09a

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.8011184f0e6414b8
