Becoming the Guide of the Mysophobic Villain? Absolutely Not! - Chapter 95
“Ah, no! This is invalid! It’s invalid, I tell you!”
“…….”
“How can it be 97%? Are such numbers even possible? Ah, the machine must be malfunctioning! Recheck it! Test it again! I refuse to accept this!”
Is this even statistically possible?
In my entire life, I’ve only ever guided Claude, and now, out of thousands of Espers, he’s supposedly my top match?
We’re not the main characters in some story, so how could our fates be so intertwined?
“Lord Claude must have done something! Threatened someone! Or… or blackmailed someone… He must’ve…! Argh!”
At that moment, I was so shocked that I trembled as if struck by lightning.
As I squirmed madly, draped over his shoulder, Claude suddenly smacked my bottom with a resounding slap!
“…Youuu— Hey! You crazy bastard!”
Put me down!
Save me!
No matter how much I thrashed like a freshly caught mackerel, Claude paid no mind.
But I couldn’t just let myself be dragged away! Not if I cared for the well-being of my limbs!
Desperately, I looked around for anyone who might help.
With so many people here, surely someone would stop this madman!
Perhaps my desperation reached someone. The security team blocked Claude’s way as he turned to leave without a care.
In an instant, the room became a standoff between Claude, the other Espers, and me.
The security chief shouted.
“Lord Claude, even if it’s you, this is too much!”
“Yeah! Please just…!”
Suddenly, a hand appeared and annoyingly clamped over my mouth.
Claude, who had just silenced my nonsense in an instant, spat out his words at the security team as if chewing them up.
“Get lost.”
The Espers facing him flinched, trembling with fear.
But despite their hesitation, they didn’t back down easily.
“Didn’t you just hear the test results? Over half of the Espers have a match rate over 60% with her. More than 70 individuals are over 80%. You, as an Esper, must understand what this means, Lord Claude…!”
With a stride, Claude advanced toward him.
“T, this….”
“Should I care about that?”
“…….”
“I’ll ask again. Should I give a damn about that?”
How many Espers could stand up to Claude, with his imposing stature and overwhelming presence?
Sweat formed on the brow of the security chief, who couldn’t even maintain eye contact.
But then…….
“No matter how much you intimidate us, it’s futile……!”
Even as he averted his eyes, the security chief stood his ground.
“Guiding is a natural right for Espers dedicated to serving the nation! Especially a Guide of such caliber should be shared with all Espers in the Center…!”
However, the security chief couldn’t finish his sentence. In an instant, his body was hurled to the ceiling and then subsequently slammed to the floor.
Bang!
The thunderous crash left me unable to scream, my body tensed.
With a single blow, the Esper seemed to lose consciousness, motionless.
Claude pressed his boot onto the chest of the sprawled Esper on the floor. A choked groan escaped the lips of the unconscious security chief.
“…Try saying that again.”
Claude’s eyes were the very essence of madness. In this state, it seemed entirely plausible that he could kill an Esper right here in front of all these witnesses.
With the captain down, the security team and the other Espers hesitated, not daring to rashly attack.
It was only natural.
In this world, no one could possibly overpower a Claude who had lost his senses.
“Let me reiterate. Say that again one more time, and…”
Crunch.
Beneath the crushing shoe, it almost sounded like bones breaking.
“Lord, Lord Claude!”
I clung desperately to his neck and shouted.
“Let’s, let’s go home…! Your anger, j-just direct it at me!”
“…….”
“Please….”
I pleaded with tears in my voice.
T-To be honest, I wasn’t sure I could handle it either…
But it seemed like the other Espers were in a similar predicament as me, unable to overpower him. Their presence only seemed to provoke him further, no help at all.
So, it was better to go somewhere where we could be alone without further upsetting him.
The problem was whether the completely crazed Claude would even listen to me…
“…….”
Sshk.
The shoe that had been pressing down on the security chief’s chest was withdrawn. His chest, which had been heaving with rage, seemed somewhat calmer.
Then, carrying me, he walked off as if there was no need to linger. The crowd of onlookers in the narrow examination room parted like the Red Sea.
Oh?
He’s listening?
I was momentarily surprised…
“You’ll have to be responsible for what you said.”
“…….”
I silently lowered my eyes at his ominous voice.
I’d rather he just curse at me…
