Matched with a Catastrophic Level Esper

“You’re telling me I have to kiss someone without even knowing their eye color?”

Hexion smirked as he looked down at the restrained man. For all the talk of catastrophic-level Espers, they didn’t seem so impressive now.

“Ngh…”

The so-called guiding was nothing more than a dry, forceful kiss. And beneath the blindfold that had been yanked down, glowing purple irises were revealed.

Zero Nine, lost in the moment, murmured to himself.

“…This feels oddly pleasant.”

“Of course. You woke up with a kiss.”

It would be surprising if he didn’t like it.

Despite the mocking remark, Zero Nine’s dazed expression remained as he slowly asked, ”…Did we kiss?”

“We did. Under someone else’s orders.”

His torn lips, sunken cheeks, and ghostly pale skin contrasted sharply with the flush creeping up his ears.

And then, the very man who had been on the verge of losing control moments ago spoke—his voice low and hesitant.

“Then… can we do it one more time?”

Hexion leaned down and commanded,

“Open your mouth.”

Character Intro

٠ ࣪⭑𓂃 Gong (Top)

Zero Nine (09) [28 years old] [192 cm]

The ninth-discovered Esper, predicted to be the most powerful one yet. If he goes berserk, half the Earth could be obliterated.
With common brown hair but unnatural light purple eyes—one of which never fully closes—his strange half-smile unexpectedly catches Hexion’s eye.

٠ ࣪⭑𓂃 Soo (Bottom)

Hexion Theobald [31 years old] [189 cm]

An adopted son of the Theobald conglomerate, Hexion enlisted in the military at the age of 20 during what was called the Third World War—the Esper War.
At 23, he awakened as a Guide and spent years controlling Espers on the battlefield. Citing mental health issues, he retired at 30—far earlier than expected.
His sleek gray, pomade-styled hair, sharp monolid eyes, and businessman-like demeanor conceal the remnants of his military discipline.
