Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199: OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

WHEN KWON Hojun opened his eyes, he felt somehow refreshed.

But he had to say that his body hurt like hell.

It’s as if I was beaten up while I was sleeping.

"Hojun-ah, you’re awake?"

Oh.

Kwon Hojun was greeted by Kim Jaeha’s worried face.

Based on what he saw around them, it seemed like he was in the same VIP Room where Kim Jaeha had been confined in for the past few days.

He couldn’t remember what landed him in that room, though.

"What happened?" Kwon Hojun asked in a hoarse voice. "Did I faint?"

"Yes, you fainted," Kim Jaeha said while nodding. "Do you not remember what happened before you fainted?"

"No, I don’t remember a thing. Did something bad happen to me?"

"Allow me to explain, Kwon Hojun-ssi."

Oh.

The door burst open and a very important person entered the room, followed by two more famous people.

Kwon Hojun abruptly got up. "President Kwak Hakjae-nim..."

Yes, his visitor was the president of the Esper Association.

And the two Awakened People behind the president...

"Esper Gu Inwoo-nim and Guide Gu Inkyu-nim," Kwon Hojun said in disbelief. "I’m a fan of yours. I can’t believe I get to see the Gu Twins in person..."

The Gu Twins just smiled and bowed towards Kwon Hojun.

Of course, Kwon Hojun immediately changed into a kneeling position and bowed back towards the Gu Twins.

Today must be my lucky day!

Actually, Kwon Hojun was a fan of Ki Gayoon and his guild members.

But they rarely show in public, so this is the first time I’m meeting them.

"Oh, I’m glad you’re already familiar with the Gu Twins," President Kwak Hakjae said. "Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi generously sent the Gu Twins here to be your little team, Kwon Hojun-ssi. Esper Gu Inwoo-ssi will be your temporary bodyguard while Guide Gu Inkyu will be your temporary Guide."

Temporary bodyguard?

Temporary Guide?

"I’m afraid I don’t understand what’s going on here," Kwon Hojun said, confused as hell. "Why do I need a temporary bodyguard and Guide?"

"Ah, right. We haven’t told you the most important thing yet," President Kwak Hakjae said, clapping his hands. "Kwon Hojun-ssi, congratulations on awakening as a natural S-Class Esper!"

WHAT?!

Kwon Hojun didn’t only awaken as an Esper, but he awakened as a natural S-Class?!

For the past fifteen years, no one has awakened as a natural S-Class after the original Top 5 Espers...

But Kwon Hojun did?

Wait, something doesn’t add up.

"Even if it’s true that I’ve awakened, I haven’t taken the test yet," Kwon Hoju said, confused. "Sir, how can I tell that I’m a natural S-Class Esper?"

"Kid, did you forget who created the device that could determine an Awakened Person’s level?"

"Oh, it was you, sir."

"I have the ability to see newly Awakened People’s level by just looking at them. But it strains my eyes and drains my Mana fast, so I only use it when necessary," the president explained, his eyes glued to Kwon Hojun. "So, yes. I can clearly see that you’re a natural S-Class Esper— just like what Esper Lee Sarang-ssi reported to me."

Oh.

So it was Esper Lee Sarang-nim who called President Kwak Hakjae-nim here.

Since Ki Gayoon sent the Gu Twins to protect Kwon Hojun, then it was clear that his position as a new natural S-Class Esper was kind of in danger?

I really don’t want this kind of responsibility, but I can’t just run away.

Kwon Hojun clenched his hands tight. "Sir, I can tell there’s another reason why you’re here."

President Kwak Hakjae chuckled. "You’re sharp, kid."

Whew.

Here comes more responsibility...

"I have leveled up the past few years and gained a new ability— an ability that I’ve been keeping to myself. The Esper Association was swallowed up by the government and the National Guide Bureau, so I want to screw them up by keeping my new ability a secret."

"Sir, if that’s supposed to be a secret, is it alright for you to reveal that here?" Kwon Hojun asked nervously. "Moreover, I’m not sure I want to know something as big as that..."

"Too bad, you’re already involved here, kid," President Kwak Hakjae said, laughing. "Anyway, can you give me your hand?"

"May I know for what reason, sir?"

"I’ll activate your personal Status Window."

"A personal Status Window?!"

"It’s the new skill I gained. I recently tried it on Esper Ki Gayoon-ssi, but that brat isn’t putting it to good use," President Kwak Hakjae said, grinning. "So, I’m going to use you as guneia pig, Kwon Hojun-ssi."

Oh, no.

Kwon Hojun gulped nervously.

Now why am I suddenly involved in something big as soon as I awakened?

He actually wanted to complain, but the president had already grabbed his hands.

And then the "magic" happened.

Kwon Hojun let out a gasp when he saw a transparent window floating right in front of his face.

It’s like I’m playing a game!

[Name: Kwon Hojun

Level: S-Class

Main Ability: Wind Manipulation

Uniqe Trait: The Successor]

<"Mine.">

It’s the ghost of Esper Matthew-nim!

Yoonyoon will probably send Sasa to Japan, and he probably asked Haruharu to escort Sasa to ensure her safety.

I guess Yoonyoon no longer trusts me.

Ryu Sungbin stopped lifting his shirt. "Why not?"

"I got a tip from a reporter I trust earlier."

"Ah, I see."

"I need to be awake for the announcement of the fight I practically funded," Moon Noa said, extending his hand to Ryu Sungbin. "So, let’s just hold hands for tonight."

"Hyung, you’re not as sly as you used to be," Ryu Sungbin said, sighing while shaking his head. And then he grabbed his hand. "Do you really think we will mobilize the reporters on our payroll just to announce my official fight with Ki Gayoon?"

Hmm?

Moon Noa wondered if Ryu Sungbin was giving him the right hints, or if this piece of trash was just distracting him?

Whatever it was, it sure messed with his head.

I guess Ryu Sungbin picked up my bad habits when we were together.

BREAKFAST in bed.

Yuno was too lazy to get up for breakfast that morning, so Ki Gayoon brought the breakfast to him. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

So, here I am now— enjoying my sandwich while watching the news.

Moon Noa told him to watch the news, so he did as he was told.

I’m still disappointed in Sajangnim, but I know when to listen to him.

"Hyung, I’m grateful for making this sandwich for me," Yuno said, putting down half of what was left of his sandwich on the plate. "But I didn’t like it that much. I’ll give it 2 out of 5 stars."

Fortunately, his lover didn’t look offended.

"Alright. I’ll keep in mind that you don’t like prawn sandwiches," Ki Gayoon said. "Should I make you another one? You like the steak sandwich I made last time, right?"

"Yes, I loved it. But you don’t have to make me another sandwich. I’m already full."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Hyung."

"Alright," Ki Gayoon said, picking up his left-overs. "I’ll finish this for you then."

"Thank you, Hyung."

Look at us— acting domisticated and all as if we didn’t have a big fight last night.

Yuno was about to tease Ki Gayoon, but the breaking news that he was waiting for was finally aired on the TV.

There it was.

<"It was just confirmed by the Esper Association that Esper Ryu Sungbin-nim has officially accepted Esper Ki Gayoon-nim’s challenge— and the official match will happen in eight days!">

Yuno almost choked on his juice. "That soon?!"
