Chapter 198: Laying down the Law
It was after a few minutes that someone knocked on the door.
"Uh, Guide Woods? Are you alright in there?" It was the same lady as before, and Kellen sighed. He would have liked to brush his teeth, but had a feeling that there wasn’t anything in this multipurpose bathroom that would cater to that. Flushing and getting back to his feet, shaking slightly, Kellen gathered himself before he responded.
"I will be fine. Let me know when the shakes arrive." Kellen’s voice was slightly hoarse, but he paid no attention to it. Even the clawing uncomfortable feeling that remained in his mouth and his body. Instead, he turned to the sink and began to wash his mouth out, spitting over and over until he felt better.
Throwing up had been the better option. If he had tried to keep it in, it would have only harmed him. He had no idea why the young Guide outside wasn’t throwing their guts up, but he wasn’t going to question them either. He did want to have a talk with the manager even more now, but had a feeling that the ship had sailed.
If a group of Guides were allowing that to happen to their own? He didn’t want to work with them anyways.
It was just unfortunate that the alternative was fucking Guiding Center A.
He should have some hope, there was another Guiding Center that hadn’t gotten back to him at all. Guiding Center E, but he couldn’t expect them to have the same reaction as Guiding Center D. They could lock him in a room and ignore him until something major happened like Guiding Center C did.
Taking a moment to look at himself in the mirror, Kellen could tell he was still a little pale, and that idiot had sucked a lot more of his powers away than he thought. It did make sense to him, especially since it was basically a forced guiding session and those were always more of a burden on the Guide. Plus, there was the weird gunk in him as well and Kellen was only able to clear a third of it.
Kellen’s expression was grim as he stared at himself in the mirror, but he also realised that the blue of his eyes was a little more intense than usual. Wait, had his eyes been glowing?
