Recently, the pair contract between Center 1’s S-rank Esper Seo Gangwoo and A-rank Guide Choi Hyerin was terminated, and in the process, news became known that Guide Choi Hyerin’s side unilaterally terminated the pair contract regardless of Esper Seo Gangwoo’s wishes.
As a result of the investigation, evidence was revealed that the pair termination procedure did not go through proper process and used illicit methods, and Ability User Headquarters personnel involved in this incident received fines, position dismissals, or detention sentences according to severity, and related investigations are still ongoing.
In an interview, Guide Choi Hyerin stated that she faithfully fulfilled her responsibilities as a pair Guide, and that she absolutely did not terminate the pair contract for the purpose of exploiting an S-rank Esper. The procedural problem that occurred was simply unrelated to her, and to correct it, she requested dialogue while seeking understanding from Esper Seo Gangwoo, but the other party had no will to talk, she said.
Furthermore, she said that it was Esper Seo Gangwoo who ignored her trying to correct this matter due to procedural error and paired with a new Guide, and that she, who didn’t know this fact, is the victim.
With investigation results already out, we’ll have to wait and see what impact Guide Choi Hyerin’s position statement will have going forward.
Meanwhile, before this incident erupted, A-rank Guide Choi Hyerin actively worked through various media in multiple ways, achieving first place in various research indicators including: woman teens and 20-somethings most want to be like #1, Guide most want to pair with if they became an Esper #1, ability user fan cafe flame Guide popularity ranking #1, and more.

– See, I told you. Ability User Headquarters, tell the truth!
– Guide Choi Hyerin-nim, stay strong.
– Investigation results already came out, what are you talking about?
– Can we trust Ability User Headquarters?
– Look here! They were trying to bury one Guide from the start. Guide Choi Hyerin got on Ability User Headquarters’ bad side.
– Stop the delusions of grandeur
– Got on their bad side, my ass. The Ability User Headquarters chairman is Choi Hyerin’s grandfather. That makes no sense.
– Something fishy is going on, I’m telling you?
– Guide Choi Hyerin is playing victim cosplay.
– What if she’s a real victim?
– Rumors already spread that she didn’t even do Guiding properly from the start
– But what’s this procedural error?…
– Right. What error?

– Guys… recording file dropped. (link)
– Crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ,,,,
– Jackpot. For real
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Pathetic.ㅋ
– Pfft… Old hag crazy. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Ah, it’s a serious situation but I burst out laughing.
– I was secretly listening during lecture,,, burst out laughing in real time… ㅠㅠ
– She held on because her matching rate was the highest anyway, then tried to pair again.
– She’s insane. She kicked away her own blessing, kicked it.
– I didn’t see ㅊㅎㄹ’s image like that. Disappointed.
– What is this? She came out so nice on broadcasts. It was all fake.
– Crafty. She had the termination approved and must have been waiting.
– Oh!
– Reeks of scheming~
– Oho.
– Right? She probably didn’t expect a new Guide to manifest in that time ㅋ
– She probably didn’t expect that Guide to have a higher matching rate than her ㅋ
– She probably didn’t expect them to do the pair contract right away ㅋ
– She probably didn’t expect to lose completely in a battle of words ㅋ
– She probably didn’t expect it to be recorded ㅋ
– She probably didn’t expect them to be the same age ㅋ
– Stop it or I’ll cry ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– My stomach hurts ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– ㅋㅋㅋ… So funny tears are coming out
– I laughed so hard my cheekbones hurt. Please stop being funny…
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Totally satisfying
– Comfort—ing
– At this level, isn’t it like she saw the future and cleared out the pair first? ㅋ
– New pair Guide-nim speaks well.
– So you can manifest late at age 22
– There are quite a few cases like that. In Germany, that healing ability Esper also manifested at 25 or something?
– But she really didn’t do Guiding… Wow… Then did Esper Seo Gangwoo endure only with medicine all this time? I heard Guiding substitute drugs are really bad for the body
– That’s an old story. The improved version with reduced side effects came out a while ago. But if you endure long-term only with medicine like that, addiction symptoms develop and it becomes ineffective due to tolerance.
– Medicine is literally just a substitute after all.
– No matter how improved it is, enduring only with that can’t be good…
– ㄷㄷㄷ…
– She really freeloaded… She went to every party there was. She should’ve been doing Guiding during that time.
– I heard she threw her weight around high society as Esper Seo Gangwoo’s pair.
– She’s practically a tax thief.
– If Esper Seo Gangwoo and the new pair Guide really go to another country…
– ㅅㅂ Then she becomes a complete traitor
– That family’s related political and business figures (link)
– There’s a lot. Aren’t they all eating it up among themselves?
– That 4-term assemblyman there is famous. The one who had the employment corruption scandal with his child the year before last
– Isn’t that company the one whose employee harassed security staff?
– That’s the one. Birds of a feather. I’m boycotting them now.
– Is there info on the new pair Guide?
– Still private it seems.
– Originally, newly manifested Guide info is private for a while.

Even while recording the conversation at the time, Jiwon wondered if there would really be an occasion to use this.
They were already conducting a massive investigation into the incident caused by Choi Hyerin, who had done something irreversible, and even punishing those involved. Would she really do a media play in this situation? Even if she did, how much use would that be? If they investigate just a little, the truth will be exposed immediately.
But that ‘no way’ actually happened.
After Choi Hyerin released an interview giving off ambiguous nuances as if she were the victim, Jiwon, seeing the general public’s reaction, thought it was extremely fortunate that he had left the recording thanks to advice from his older sister Jisu.
At the A-rank Guide’s appeal, even with inaccurate information, the public was swept up, and posts criticizing Esper Seo Gangwoo and Ability User Headquarters explosively increased in just a short time.
Mixed in there were also stories about Jiwon, the new pair Guide. Speculations that the two of them must have had some kind of meeting with Esper Seo Gangwoo from before, even though their pair contract didn’t match up with the previous contract’s termination timing.
It was too late to wait for articles to be corrected with accurate information. Even if Choi Hyerin’s interview was later revealed to be false, if rumors were inflated and speculation articles were created long-term, someone would continue to doubt the situation and could make or accept non-existent facts as if they were real.
It had to be known as quickly as possible that Choi Hyerin was giving a false interview. Jiwon, who had been sitting on the living room sofa examining articles, reached out and picked up his cell phone.
-Yes, Guide Kim Jiwon.
As soon as the call connected, Guide Team Leader Lee Juyeon answered as if she’d been waiting.
“Team Leader Lee!”
-You called about Guide Choi Hyerin’s interview, right?
“Yes. I hoped it wouldn’t happen, but… I didn’t know she’d really do such an interview.”
-She wasn’t the type to quietly accept punishment and comply. Because there have been almost no cases of Guides being punished until now, she’s probably thinking there’s no way excessive punishment would come to her.
“Is that really true? Then will Guide Choi Hyerin not be punished either?”
-The atmosphere is a bit different this time. Not only did she use power to manipulate documents and make a unilateral contract termination, but since it’s a matter involving an S-rank Esper, it’s hard to just let it go.
“I really hope Guide Choi Hyerin gets punished as much as she did wrong.”
Strength entered his small clenched fist. Jiwon was worried that Guide Choi Hyerin also wouldn’t receive proper punishment because she was a high-grade Guide.
During the period they were paired, she was a person who lived enjoying wealth and fame at the cost of Gangwoo’s suffering while holding the Esper’s life as collateral. If it just passed by or only light punishment was given as it had been until now, he felt like he’d burst with frustration.
Furthermore, if Guide Choi Hyerin received a punishment verdict, that would also prove Gangwoo’s innocence, so whether that happened was important.
-I think so too. And that’s what will happen. You know Headquarters, Center 8, and Center 1 are also being audited, and those involved are under investigation, right? But there’s less obstruction of the investigation than expected, and there are no moves to protect Guide Choi Hyerin either. It seems Guide Choi Hyerin’s family side is cutting off the tail.
“Cutting off the tail?”
At the unexpected words, Jiwon’s voice suddenly rose.
