‘Why did I end up with this job...?’ The next day, Ham Geonwu and Jeong Taeyul sat across from Sijin in his office. He had purposefully called both A-rank Ability Users to the diagnostic room together, although it wasn't entirely his decision. The order had come down from above. "You two share a special relationship, correct?" Sijin began as casually as possible. "In some ways, yes," replied Jeong Taeyul. "Well, entrusting our lives to each other isn't common." Both Ham Geonwu and Jeong…-

Outside, the sound of glass being cleared continued unabated. Sijin quickly checked if the testing equipment had been damaged before approaching Ham Geonwu. Ham Geonwu sat dejectedly on the floor, watching him as if awaiting scolding from an adult who knew exactly what mischief he'd gotten up to—using telekinesis and nearly causing serious harm. Sijin silently removed the broken patch from Ham Geonwu's body. The man cautiously asked: "...Are you not mad?" Sijin took a deep breath and…

"Were you expecting some romantic gesture?" Jeong Taeyul asked, having observed their interaction closely. Sighing softly, Sijin prepared for basic examinations, starting with Jeong Taeyul's simple check-up. "For me, nothing is more romantic than healthy Ability Users..." Given his current state, it wasn't exactly romantic to talk about Jeong Taeyul's health issues. "It must be tough being so observant." Jeong Taeyul chuckled, seemingly picking up on his thoughts as he muttered to…

Once Ham Geonwu realized medical examinations weren't scary, he warmed up to Sijin. The burden of his condition had plagued him throughout his life, so learning there might be a way to alleviate it brought him joy. For Sijin as well, Ham Geonwu represented the end of his nightmares and trauma. Knock knock. Knock knock knock! Suddenly, there was a knock on his door. Sijin looked up from typing on his pad, startled to see two Ability Users standing in his lab. He hadn't noticed their…

Sijin hadn't realized how technologically challenged Ham Geonwu was. However, he could empathize with Jeong Taeyul's frustration; quick-witted individuals like him often faced the dilemma of wondering why others didn't understand something immediately. Sijin himself used to have similar thoughts when he believed he was particularly smart. But after realizing that everyone comprehends information differently, Sijin learned to adapt his explanations accordingly. After listening to Sijin's explanation for…

The measurement results for Ham Geonwu appeared on a translucent screen. It displayed a detailed schematic of his muscular, 188cm frame with energy channels flowing like blood vessels throughout his body. Barefoot, Ham Geonwu walked over and stood behind Sijin, looking slightly awkward. Sijin pointed at various graphs accompanying the human diagram. All the graph lines remained within the average range. "It seems you've been consistently guiding. Your wave frequency is stable at +52%, and your…

Yoo Min-ho stood there with the pouring rain hitting his entire body. It was night, on the street, and very cold. As I thought about how the dim light of the street lamp above him seemed particularly desolate, Yoo Min-ho opened his mouth like he was standing at the edge of the world. Despite the loud downpour from all directions, his small voice surprisingly resonated in my ears. ‘Hyung, I… Sometimes, I wish the world would just end. A natural disaster, a nuclear bomb… anything that would just…-

After lunch, Sijin and Shin Dayoung went to the Center's cafe. It was packed with people during the lunch hour. Other examiners were busy examining Ability Users who had scheduled their appointments at this time. In fact, examiners rarely ate together due to overlapping examinations. "Have you ever seen an actual S-Rank guide, Doctor?" "A few times." Wow! Shin Dayoung was amazed. There were only two known S-Rank guides in South Korea, both in their forties and fifties, with no new S-Rank guides…

“Well then, please share this 'nothing important' with me.” “......” Suddenly feeling both wronged and helpless, Sijin wondered why he had allowed himself to be manipulated by an Ability User who could read minds effortlessly. He cleared his throat and tried to maintain composure before speaking calmly. “I simply asked for an examination.” “Oh, just an examination request?” “Yes.” “But you were trembling while handcuffed.” “......” How…

Mikael continued speaking more harshly, relishing how visibly shaken Damian appeared. “Perhaps that’s why I became a demon, hmm? Someone who despises their own parents? Isn’t that right?” “If being a demon were so easy, this world would be overrun with them.” Damian shook his head firmly at Mikael's casual remark. “People may not openly admit it due to societal pressure, but there are plenty who detest their parents.” Damian furrowed his thick brows as if pained by the…-
