Jae-Chan's temperament was worn out by his messy social life, desperate failures, and death. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to change the selfish nature that had been ingrained for a long time.

<<Especially, avoiding field work was a problem.>>

Go Woo-Jin, who if possible always ignored him, was actually angry. Unlike ordinary guides who were always at the forefront and consumed by work, Jae-Chan was assigned to office jobs first. Even if he was on the scene, he would only be responsible for rear support.

<<This time, I have to step up personally. Only then can we grasp the truth about 'Black Swan'.>>

It was not enough to sit at a desk and read the reports. It was time for Jae-Chan to solidify his mindset once again.

— Uh… if you say that much. It's not to that extent.

In the sudden silence, Yu-Ram, who thought Jae-Chan was disheartened, said as such.

— You can do better from now on.

She wrinkled her nose. Jae-Chan laughed at Park Yu-Ram's words that were pointed out properly. All right. He could do better from now on.

Yu-Ram also smiled as she straightened the glasses on the tip of her nose.

— If you're done, let's get out. But your roommate seems to be as good as the rumors say.

She pointed to the empty bed. Suddenly, Jae-Chan, who was pushing the carrier's wheel, stopped abruptly.

Roommate. He had long insisted on double rooms until he was sent to the center at the age of 14 and assigned to the Intelligence Service. He didn't really care who his roommate was now because he went through so many of them, but Yu-Ram's saying that implied that his roommate was famous.

<<Since it's the summer of my 21's... At this time, my roommate....>>

It was when Jae-Chan's lips wrinkled strangely that he suddenly remembered a face.

— What?

Yu-Ram, who raised her head for a moment, checked her pocket. Beep, two people's pagers were ringing urgently.

Tempo Red.

The roommate's face, which he thought of in emergencies spanning three or four times a year, disappeared at once. Instead, Jae-Chan recalled the emergency at this time of year. His feet came to a sudden stop.

— Sun Jae-Chan! Aren't you going?

Yu-Ram, who was running ahead, beckoned him over.

— Quick! — Her urgent voice became a signal and he picked up the ID card that was lying on the desk. He started running with the name tag string flying, but he didn't feel comfortable.

<<…if we keep going, we'll run into Go Woo-Jin.>>

He wasn't ready to meet him yet. Even after joining other Guides along the way, Jae-Chan's head was spinning and about to become mush.

Central Management Headquarters Emergency Guiding Center.

The whole area was in chaos with the sound of beeping sirens and Espers being carried one after another. Dozens of stabilizing equipment installed throughout the center were quickly filled up. The manager of the emergency center shouted in the midst of the commotion.

— Guides without ID Card! Come this way! This way!

Park Yu-Ram, who came directly from Jae-Chan's room, was included in that group. She ran to get a temporary guide card, and Jae-Chan hung the ID card he had brought on his training suit.
