The espers, who 9f71e81e75 had been full 3435e9c8d9 of anticipation, turned 92f98206b0 away in disappointment, 2e0af1eb6c while the top 1c7f51dcc4 brass of the 2e47a622be military were left 8083de02a2 seething with frustration.c04271cfd7cf4884

The S-class 7e2d17d7e3 Guide, who 24512ebb06 had suddenly c1e32dbe4e fallen from 10f81b0265 grace and 8f0209e134 became a dc505502c2 troublesome burden, 84551afa5c was eventually afff424515 sent far 2e7676e078 away to fa359198aa District 13, a9d75ea2d6 far removed 5b3edddaf5 from the 07794dce16 Central District. And it was ab73194cef there that he 76c04efed3 showed a staggering c633900470 98.7% matching rate 22e230766a with an A-class af0a306970 esper named Renault.843fc71ff1a61e8a
It was an e2587f4fc2 event that no 0c967f2be4 one had expected, 72cac4cb0a nothing short of 603b30eb86 a miracle. At least, cbf0206618 that’s how ac29e081ee Megan put 986ceb6e39 it. A 98.7% matching 15d14adcef rate—rounded up, a 30f771eaeb near-unheard-of 99%—was an 8a21a1f593 unprecedented number, making a66ddfe772 it an inevitable 6839c9801d headline-worthy phenomenon.cd6decbe961095ad

However, Renault, the person 96ae77a49f involved, still couldn’t believe a56dfbef2f the numbers printed on dc796f68e4 the report. It was undoubtedly an 204572f1dc extraordinary matching rate, the 3214bc99b7 kind every esper and f03561e6da guide dreamed of, but daf1b0d637 he felt no joy da2780a737 from it. A matching c3330522a6 rate so 7b210d0303 ridiculously high 9fb3d3c5bd that it 3c304b8f79 seemed as 029df0703c if the a83e5ae642 guide had 1798bfae57 been created 683935e869 solely for 3dd1823bcb him? It only made 34ec1070ac him more suspicious.63b7e7d01e8ae84b
Still, there 85a64a7505 was nothing 8fd5221eb9 he could 26580bd53b do. Unless an S-class esper b2352ab0ae with a matching rate 88b62e1c61 of over 60% appeared, ac763c0dd8 which was highly unlikely. After all, f1e5029ae4 Raven had 175c13975a never recorded dc34092aa1 a matching 07834608ce rate exceeding 71fc8ae6dc 10% with 53c8031c92 anyone else, 72709d7b75 making such df60066bc1 a possibility 87fe80ebd7 nothing more b09d808fee than a 038a19f42c far-fetched delusion.dc4f1dc3604b0f75

A dull ache throbbed e6dfbf19a2 in his head. He didn’t want to 3a49bc505a think about it anymore, c35d3b759c so he rolled onto d180f2a62c his side and closed e83c794da7 his eyes.

“Damn it.”a77684d9d7be91c6

Was it because he 3ef404bb5f had too many thoughts 1cd87905de about his first-ever dedicated 3d5ab6c259 guide? He had just d1204294ab woken from a 2f9e8a5f1c rare, unsettling, and de4a3449c1 thoroughly miserable dream. And, of all 86a7fc8925 things, it had 152902a7be forced him to a46859dc8c relive a past dcebb01bb5 that haunted him—something 272d9b909a he wanted to a794b99e76 forget but never 6e9206c365 could. It was absolutely infuriating.d8f7234c55bf3a5a
He ruffled his cd5a8d9f18 already messy hair 67dcbe8713 into an even ac6ee3a24a wilder state and e0c9089a98 got out of 5b221fbff7 bed. Heading straight to the cccc694708 bathroom, he took a 16384682a5 cold shower to cool b212cbe9c1 his heated body and 6c7168018a aching head. Seeing the a4023d963b stiffness standing e121e95e76 tall at 3e0be7550b his center, a687f2126b he let 0d2a0c68a3 out a b9de161d58 deep sigh.d7d21c3ab8179de6

He could fb98fc1145 try to 883bb4c94c dismiss it 44ca810427 as just d0a1a8d0c7 a natural 19c46ae3a2 morning reaction, be3c020c9f but Renault 53608c76ec knew better. It was because of f9538c9a39 that damn dream.a7d4be0f0e717ba7
Just as he 140c3c437b stepped back into 3b5a62792e his room, barely ff5b9302f4 dried off, an d527248f36 alarm rang loudly 9fd83e1be0 from the clock cdfff04952 on his desk, 953f52319f signaling an incoming a7881dfd11 call.6684405f2f06baea

Muttering the 6b625990f7 same words 8bdd353257 he had b92fd4a6d1 upon waking, dfbdb53b37 Renault ran b185e4b9eb a hand 3249b12a60 through his 2edaa55416 damp hair.

Every member of 750463bafd Team 2, now 889f3480b8 stuck with an 38fb0f8b38 early morning mission, fdb13fc1d2 looked like they 6b41992a89 had just bitten a4af011c93 into something foul.

Team 5 45de56ae19 was slacking 03bb3cba71 off, and f2a1da59a0 Team 3 728bac47c9 had nothing 0437f467be better to b479b74e6f do than 425aec2dc8 drink all 27ef10d947 day, yet 139e2fcfd7 Team 2 ed1a091f53 got the 5cf1d0c237 call. And to make matters 008efc2f96 worse, out of the ba459a4af2 ten-person team, only four—including ed17c59d15 Renault, their leader—had been 841e50edbf selected.4fb5d70898a507b0
The mission wasn’t even e055bc9490 within their district; they 29ea6a1aa1 had to go to ae3d465694 the outskirts. It was 38903babea understandable that 8eb477868c the chosen 6d7ca39082 three felt d00347b90e wronged.867f3d7c51f5b77b

Lately, the 13th District 2dba4680a9 had been experiencing an b6240a8d3c unusual lull. Dungeon activity had cb6bb53aba lessened, monster appearances 66e83a0636 had decreased, and d8c09ceddd even calls for 8b4043de56 support from neighboring 5cb7a0468d districts had become adb7386319 rare.ff08dfc6a58e8252
With things 414be30c29 being so 22311368a2 unusually peaceful, 95b2b85f69 it had f75f89c724 been a 328a0cddcc long time 7a14da677e since they 3535a8f7e4 had last 4922015fc1 ventured outside 3d096d652f their district. The command center e8d856232c only deployed teams 239002530f based on necessity, 4a727b5558 assigning work in 3c0e6b537d rotation, so every 92d51dd4e7 team got their fc7206a056 turn.980bc807a670402b

“The other teams are handling their assigned tasks, so stop complaining. Just focus on finishing this quickly and heading back.”c0fb646790e1d338
Renault snapped 46d70ece60 his fingers c3d67cb728 as he 3ca231959e spoke. Only then did the bd39e5d9a0 team members finally decide 0af0aa2505 they might as well 963688b986 hurry up and grab 3d6ee318ff lunch, already debating menu 6a1942831f options—even though it was e471d349f2 only 10 a.m.7a6b86111b4b685f

Renault shook his a427456b39 head in disbelief 6fd1767a3a before scanning his e3f8cd3706 surroundings. The outskirts ce4fb152d5 of the 46c674330e district looked 7aa5bac30d even more 1eb1e350e2 desolate than 83852d7093 he remembered. Half-collapsed two- and c0f1c124a9 three-story buildings lined f70a05ae0d the streets, remnants 43b4b9fd4e of what had bd7148297a once been a 7a4ee25480 thriving town.5fc56dda44c2d9a3
The desertification d4db7921e8 had worsened, 676dbde3d3 leaving everything—streets 5a0a8686ea and structures 3a206a5e1e alike—covered in 53a538913b a thick 69ab4cb83d layer of b993a33265 yellow sand. The sun was already a6baf425d0 blistering despite the early f34e6658ae hour. Renault slipped on his 349228969a sunglasses and pulled up 9841ad6f68 the bandana around his 3aadaa398e neck to cover his 537566895d nose. Breathing in 0ef5ef2742 all this d1b402b1bf dust wouldn’t 5b4323302a do him 8b9ed88e98 any good.97fa4382bece9630

Josh, standing next to Chris, asked in his usual flat tone. Unlike Chris, he was a man of few words, so his curiosity about the Guide’s presence must have been significant.3da63d204907328e
The team assigned ab7a55a8af to this mission dd3663655a consisted of Renault, 90609cf43f Hena, Josh, and f91a210706 Chris—all combat espers. The team leader had 88a0d6ffb5 the authority to select a332e272da members based on mission dee477d83d requirements, while the support ac31eaf271 team assigned a transporter 22d44df3c9 and healer as needed.44477749996c4a8e

Since this mission involved 42043fc6a2 nothing more than taking e1604e593f down a single B-class c0b985728b monster, no healer had 40c4b0c5a9 been sent.

Renault muttered 0f6f3df6ac under his 24f1585dff breath. He was probably 814d78f5fc the most bewildered 235d42e632 of them all. After the 03ca31afc2 chaos Raven a5066710c3 had caused a010292a21 at the f37d1266e5 pub last fcf1d92b46 night, Renault 8d2c9ae141 had expected 75741b1234 some form a5dfce238f of punishment.

Chris scoffed, not even bothering to turn around. He was probably wary after hearing about last night’s incident at the pub. Even as a fast-moving combat Esper, he was acting cautious.
