An exploration team brought a girl back from a contaminated zone.
Surviving in a contaminated zone was already a miracle for a human. The test results that followed sent shockwaves through the entire White Tower
She was an S-rank Guide.
With contamination worsening, the ratio of Sentinels to Guides was severely imbalanced. There were dozens of registered S-rank and higher Sentinels, but only two S-rank Guides.
The sudden appearance of a new S-rank Guide caused an instant sensation. On the day she was to choose a squad, nearly every S-rank Sentinel and above stood beneath the White Tower, thirstily hoping for her attention.
She was a miraculous pearl lost to the sea, humanity's third hope, yet, against all expectations, she joined the bug nest.
It was the most notorious military district, a barren wasteland teeming with damp, disgusting bugs. No Guide was willing to touch those terrifying, ugly insect limbs and feelers.
The rejected bugs had long since stopped hoping for a Guide's comfort, and they had no desire to take a fragile Guide onto the battlefield.
"I really don't understand why everyone makes such a big deal about Guides."
After the battle, the Sentinels regrouped, panting and laughing on the bloodstained field. "Did you see that Guide? She was so pale and skinny, like a gust of wind could blow her away."
"Would she cry if she saw a mutant?"
"The front lines aren't where she belongs."
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?" The squad leader clapped a hand on the new recruit's shoulder. "Haven't seen you before. First time out?"
The other Sentinels looked over too, their gazes converging on the little Sentinel at the very back.
She was tiny, yet her performance in battle had been astonishing.
The squad members couldn't help smiling as they praised her. "Wow, you're fierce for a first-timer!" "You're something else, kid."
The newcomer, wearing a protective helmet, tilted her head. "Wow?"
"Wow! Of course you're amazing!"
She still had her head tilted. "Me?"
"Yeah, you're amazing!"
She was delighted and clumsily took off her helmet.
A pale face appeared. Her bloodstained fingers pointed at herself. "Me? Amazing?"
