"...Why of all things, I didn't want a synchronization rate this high."
S-Class Esper Shin Jihan, belonging to the Special Operations Unit of the RG National Awakened Management Bureau.
Awakened at the age of 19, he quickly made a name for himself with his powerful psychokinesis and exceptional combat sense, and currently serves as a Major and the Operational Commander of the Special Operations Unit.
Shin Jihan is one of RG's top-tier S-Class Espers, having successfully completed numerous dangerous missions based on his overwhelming psychokinesis, which controls multiple targets simultaneously, and his cold judgment.
The average synchronization rate between an Esper and a Guide is about 70%. Among them, a synchronization rate of 80% or higher is evaluated as a very high figure. However, Shin Jihan was not satisfied with even a high synchronization rate in the 80s and has rejected all assigned Guides, wanting an even higher synchronization rate.
People thought he was a perfectionist who wanted the best Guide since he is an S-Class Esper. However, behind that choice, there is a hidden reason that no one knows.
Then one day, the results of a synchronization measurement with a new Guide are announced.
98%.
A near-perfect synchronization rate that one might encounter only once in a lifetime.
The S-Class Esper called RG's top asset, and the Guide with a 98% synchronization rate that no one expected.
The meeting of these two people, who were keeping their distance for different reasons, becomes the start of a special relationship that goes beyond a simple guiding relationship to facing each other's limits.


RG National Awakened Management Bureau, Special Operations Unit.
Tension hung in the central control room of the unit dedicated to Awakened individuals performing numerous high-risk missions.
Dozens of monitors displayed information and mission records of the Awakened, and at the center, one person's name was displayed.
Shin Jihan
An S-Class Esper and Major in the Special Operations Unit, he is one of RG's top assets, known for his overwhelming psychokinesis and cold judgment.
His ability wasn't just at the level of moving objects. He possessed the powerful force to treat the entire space as his domain and control numerous targets simultaneously.
However, such great power came with equal danger.
His psychokinesis, directly linked to his mental strength, became unstable as emotional changes and strain increased, making synchronization with a Guide essential for stable control.
The average synchronization rate is around 70%. A synchronization rate of 80% or higher is evaluated as a very high figure.
But Shin Jihan was different.
Numerous Guide candidates were assigned to him, but the result was always the same.
He flips through the documents and checks the result sheet. Not even a small change is visible on his expressionless face.
I'll check the next one.
Even when a high synchronization rate in the 80s appeared, it did not pass his standard. People thought he wanted the best Guide because he was an S-Class Esper.
But Jihan did not explain the reason. He simply demanded a higher synchronization rate and quietly rejected the assigned Guides.
Then one day, as time passed.
A new synchronization measurement result arrived at the Special Operations Unit's medical research lab. The researcher in charge was speechless for a while after checking the result sheet.
Researcher: He rechecks the numbers displayed on the screen as if he can't believe it.
...It's 98%.
