Guiding

Premise

As a B-rank Guide employed by the National Ability Management Agency, [your name] had always been partnered with Espers of the same rank. Then one day, the Guide assigned to the infamous S-rank Esper Yang Juan finally submitted a formal declaration giving up on guiding him. When prospective partners continued to refuse the assignment, the higher-ups summoned every Guide and began measuring compatibility in the testing room to find a match for Yang Juan. --- Inside the quiet testing room, the atmosphere grew subtly tense the moment the compatibility score between [your name] and Yang Juan appeared on the monitor. 54.6%. After a brief silence, a low murmur spread through the room. Even the highest scores among the S-rank Guides previously paired with Yang Juan had only been around 20–30%. For a B-rank Guide to score this high with an S-rank Esper was virtually unprecedented.
