It was a scene near the monster flower. It was a place where not only the dispatched Esper but also the construction managers made every effort to ensure safety. Even if a B-class monster came out, they had to make it last for some time, and they were even conducting intensive safety checks periodically. This is because there are many general researchers who do not have the ability in the training center.

Therefore, it was never a place that could have collapsed so quickly. The researcher who identified the scene reported that the bar was even bent. At that point, Heo Pil-Sik suspected Gido Hae. The steel bar was a material that complements the monster fence in case of emergency, so it was not such an easily bent material.

“Well.”

Despite his strong questioning, Gido Hae rested his chin and spoke carelessly as if he was not interested. Like a person who heard that the monster’s flowers have bloomed in other countries beyond the Pacific Ocean.

“What are you thinking?”

Heo Pil-Sik sat down in his seat due to the more unpredictable attitude of Gido Hae. He haven’t changed my desk yet, so he noticed the scratch that Gido Hae made.

It seemed like Gido Hae had decided to act even more crazy this time. Normally, he would pretend to give a cursory answer even though it was annoying, but today he asked him something strange.

“Did you know?”

“Don’t change your words…….”

“New guides.”

“……”

Heo Pil-Sik scratched his nose and remained silent as he continued to speak. Recently, public opinion about Guide Kim San has been rapidly deteriorating.

At first glance, he noticed that Gido Hae was the one behind it. However, what Heo Pil-Sik did not expect the atmosphere that circulated among the new guides.

“Ummm..….”

He established the association to protect the guide, but that does not mean that Heo Pil-Sik turns a blind eye to all the guide’s self-indulgence. Rather, he was very strict with the guide’s guiding ethics and violations.

However, it did not give a justification to intervene in this case. It’ll be like an adult getting into a child fight. Can’t he just tell these guys who are now adults to get along?

It was best to keep an eye on Kim San so that the inevitable threat did not go too far. In particular, when the adaptation period ends, all new guides will be scattered. In the process, he believed that one or two of these rumors would disappear quickly because there was no substance.

But that was Heo Pil-Sik’s opinion. It was certainly strange that Gido Haeers brought up this issue.

“Don’t tell me you care about it now.”

“…”

At the scene of the incident, he heard Lee Seon-Hye’s report that Kim San was in the pit where the foundation work was carried out. But something collapsed on top of it. Heo Pil-Sik strongly suspected that Gido Hae did such a thing to threaten or bury Kim San.

He has been avoiding guiding little by little like a man with amyotrophic symptoms, but he thought he was harboring a desire for Kim San, whom he used to get close to on a regular basis.

But Gido Hae remained silent. The way he tilted his head and was seriously contemplating something seemed quite disturbing. It wasn’t even a day or two that he ignored what he said, but strangely, seeing him lost in thought was a little scary.

“Gido Hae, what the hell is going on? Say something.”

Lee Jae-Chul, who was present next to him, tapped his chest and urged Gido Hae. It must have been ignored after asking several times.

“They pushed him into the pit without hesitation.”

“What……?”

“I’m talking about Cha Ga-Ram and the new guides.”

“Now, wait. I mean… The new guide and Cha Ga-Ram pushed Guide Kim San guide there now?” After a long pause, the words from Gido Hae were unexpected.

He tried to see how the accident site collapsed, but somehow all the CCTVs nearby were dead. Of course, he thought Gido Hae had destroyed evidence before he did something. Without the researcher’s testimony, nothing could have been known since morning.

So, they were full of questions about why Kim San fell into the pit, and how the new guide, who had not even received directions yet, knew the evacuation route and went there.

But he didn’t expect something like that to happen.

“Is that true?”

“Why would I lie to you? If the guide is annoying, I can just twist his neck.”

There was a huge difference between just cursing behind the scenes and doing real harm. In particular, Heo Pil-Sik considered it important that the incident took place near the monster’s flower.

Although it takes a certain amount of time for a flower to grow, it was only when the flower grew as usual. If the variant is increasing recently, the possibility of monsters popping out could not be completely ruled out even if there is some time left until the blooming time.

In other words, Cha Ga-Ram and his party left their colleagues in such a place defenselessly. And this was one of the most severe cases that Heo Pil-Sik cracked down on.

In addition, there was another catch in this case.

“So in this case, you tried to protect the guide?” He is now asking about Gido Hae’s attitude.

Gido Hae treated all the guides the same. Although he was well aware of how to squeeze the guide, he was basically bothered by the guiding itself. Heo Pil-Sik, who has been watching Gido Hae for a long time, was well aware that he was bothered by the guide.

But now he is using his ability to protect the guide?

“No way.”

Gido Hae smiled at his doubts. The posture of resting his chin on one side was also the same. Obviously, it was a natural answer from Gido Hae that he had seen so far. Rather, if he had answered that he did, Heo Pil-Sol would have suspected that he was playing tricks again.

Nevertheless, a strange feeling of discomfort kept hitting Heo Pil-Sik in the back of the head. It was a kind of instinct that came from rolling with an Esper for a long time.

“Well, that’s what I’m saying. There’s no evidence that I broke it down, is there?”

He suddenly lost his temper at the obnoxious attitude of the guy. This guy was the reason Kim San was cornered in the first place, but his behavior this time was completely incomprehensible.

However, Gido Hae rose slowly from his seat as if he had nothing more to say.

“So that’s all you have to say?”

“……Look at this file. It’s a list of variants that need to be addressed urgently.”

Heo Pil-sSk felt his head throbbing at the attitude that he would leave when his business was over. In desperation, he threw a file he had prepared in advance.

Gido Hae, who made the unprecedented achievement of making him suffer from headaches, accepted the file with a neat attitude.”We’ll figure it out sooner or later.”

Heo Pil-Sik exchanged ambiguous views with Lee Jae-Chul as he saw the back of Gido Hae walking out of the association president’s office.

“Isn’t he going crazy?”

“.….”

It wasn’t until he thought that the Gido Hae was far enough that Heo Pil-sik frowned and told Lee Jae-Chul. However, Lee Jae-Chul still looked toward the door with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

“What’s wrong with your expression?”

“Because Gido Hae kept looking in that direction.”

“Where?”

“The place where it fell.”

Esper’s powers vary in form, but there are also many ways to use them. Among them, the most usable form is Gido Hae’s telekinetic power. Even so, there was only one condition for using his power.

His eyes will land where he projects his power.

Therefore, when Gido Hae went on a rampage, Lee Jae-Chul only had one role to play. He buys time by getting as much attention as possible. Also, from some point on, it was the reason why everyone could not make eye contact with Gido Hae.

“Okay.”

Listening to Lee Jae-Chul’s affirmation, Heo Pil-sik concluded that at least Gido Hae did something at the place. In the first place, didn’t Kim San come back without even a scratch of injury? If Gido Hae had decided to harm him, at least he wouldn’t have returned to the center so unscathed.

How far should I tolerate him? Heo Pil-Sik’s worries have deepened today.

***

“……….”

Gido Hae, who came up to the guiding room alone, sat blankly in a chair and kept thinking. It was the place where Kim San always occupied.

It was naturally within the scope of the presumption that Heo Pil-Sik would question him. All he didn’t predict was that yesterday’s incident was purely his whim.

So he didn’t really have anything to say. He just used it appropriately because it could fit the situation.

Heo Pil-Sik couldn’t give up a glimmer of hope and left Gido Hae alone because he intentionally showed an ambiguous attitude. He was wondering if he would lose his temper and get crazy because of the guide.

He clearly created a situation in a favourable direction, but he continued to feel dissatisfied. The uncomfortable feeling that has been stuck in the back of his head since yesterday doesn’t go away.

The sound of tapping the armrest of the chair constantly rang in the guiding room. The echoing sound inside was frustratingly entangling Gido Hae.

A headache invaded him along with the sound. Despite the immense pain, he did not frown once and only slightly touched the tips of his eyebrows.

Then it suddenly comes to mind. Kim San might not come today because he did something useless yesterday.

“Haaa…….”

It’s a bother.

Most guides demand attention from espers. Many people thought about their relationship with Esper as if they were dating. The trend of society, which regards the pair relationship as a marriage between the guide and Esper, hastened this.

So, even though he almost got buried in a pit yesterday, he didn’t say that he would come to guide.

Gido Hae could let it go for a day or two. However, he had to assume that Kim San could quit and leave the city.

He didn’t think he had the personality to give up easily, but he never knew. If Kim San expresses his intention like that, it will be easier to use appropriate threats this time.

As he calmly organized his future plans, he heard a very small knock.
