The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 195 Counterattack
"El." Lin Nan interrupted him formally for the first time.

In the past, no matter what this person said to her, she would remain silent in order not to cause trouble.

The previous "Lin Nan" was out of fear; the current "Lin Nan" is afraid of saying too much and making mistakes, and that people will discover that she is a soul that should not belong here.

So she acquiesced to all the unkind words this person uttered towards her.

But this doesn't mean she has no bottom line.

"Going to District Nine was my own decision, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Besides, since you already know that Director Huo is my sentinel, and we are classmates after all, as the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. In any case, you should give me face and not talk about my people behind my back."

"you……"

As if he never expected Lin Nan to talk back, the blond, blue-eyed nobleman was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his pupils swirling with surprise and shame.

"What about me?" Lin Nan walked up the steps and stood on the same level as El. Because the male guide was not as tall as the sentries, she did not feel pressured standing in front of him.

A green light shone in her eyes, and she directly released her spiritual power.

His mental energy, replenished by Hosen, was abundant and powerful, unlike the other guides who were weak and listless.

They possessed a powerful aggressiveness, easily breaking through El's protective barrier like fir roots penetrating frozen soil, heading straight for his eyes.

El stared in shock at the overwhelming mental pressure so close to him.

So fast! So sharp!

I was just a hair's breadth away from directly invading his vision.

when--

A bead of cold sweat dripped from the young man's cheek. The usually arrogant man's steps trembled slightly, and he could no longer maintain his elegant demeanor.

The only good thing about this world is that everyone speaks based on their abilities; whoever is more capable has the right to speak.

This is a form of hegemony, but Lin Nan likes it because it allows her to say less nonsense and directly shut the other party up in this simple and brutal way!
Seeing that El was no longer speaking, she slowly withdrew her mental energy, then took a step forward and approached him.

Although spiritual power has no physical form in reality, she could vividly sense that her opponent's barrier had been shattered into pieces, and with it, his pride as a prodigy was also broken.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan tilted her head and smiled, her eyes revealing a sly smile that clashed sharply with her innocent appearance. She said, "Or is it that—El, you actually want to be my dog ​​too?"

These words shattered the stagnant air like a thunderbolt. El's pupils shrank to pinpoints in an instant, his entire body turning bright red. He roared furiously, "You lowly wretch, what nonsense are you spouting! I was trying to kindly remind you, and you don't appreciate it!"

Perhaps even he himself felt ashamed that the barrier had been shattered, because after saying that, he didn't linger any longer and turned to go downstairs.

[Slap slap slap slap!!!]

In the mind, the vines were shaking their heads wildly back and forth, slamming them against the ground!
A continuous stream of exclamations rose and fell.

[Absolutely stunning!!]

[Boss, you! Are awesome! Cool!]

【Awoooooo~】

I hereby declare that from this day forward, you are my idol!

Lin Nan clapped her hands, replying to them with a hint of pride: 【So-so.】

With no one in her way, she went straight back to her dorm and locked the door.

There was something she hadn't had a chance to confirm in the director's office earlier.

Returning to my mental landscape, I saw a new, unfamiliar icon appear on my skill bar.

She carefully clicked on the skill to take a closer look. The description was very concise, consisting of only the four words "mental shield".

Lin Nan vaguely sensed something; this skill seemed to be Ronnie's skill.

Why did she suddenly gain a new skill? Could it be related to her absorbing that energy stone?

Because the energy stone fell from Ronnie, she learned his skills as well.
Lin Nan tilted her head, carefully recalling the effect of this skill. It seemed to be able to hide one's own emotional aura, or transform it into another kind of aura. If that were really the case, wouldn't she be defying the heavens?
Previously, if she wanted to enter or leave a group of monsters, she had to use her mental suggestion to modify the other party's consciousness. Although this ability was very powerful, it consumed a lot of mental energy over time. Now that she has this skill, can't she skip these steps?

Lin Nan sighed as she tried to use the skill.

A faint green light swept across her body and then vanished without a trace.

Lin Nan went to the mirror to check and found that nothing had changed.

[Hey, boss, where did you go?]

Number Five emerged from the brain and hovered above Lin Nan's head, but its pointed head swayed left and right, unable to locate Lin Nan.

This aroused the curiosity of other vines, which then emerged from the ground.

The twelve thick vines, like twelve green pythons, filled Lin Nan's small bedroom to the brim. They sparsely moved across the floor, searching for Lin Nan's whereabouts.

[Waaaaah... Boss, how could you suddenly disappear... Waaaaah...]

Number three, who was the most prone to crying, became noticeably anxious, and the tips of her splits twitched helplessly.

The vines have no facial features and can only distinguish things by the surrounding atmosphere or lingering emotions. But when Lin Nan hides all of these things, they can no longer find her.

So that's how this skill is used, and it seems there's no time limit.

She turned off her skills, and when her aura reappeared, the spirits immediately located her.

【Boss! 】

【Boss! 】

【Boss! 】

……

The vines swarmed around us, crying and sobbing, like the Calabash Brothers looking for their grandfather.

What just happened?

Just like last time, I suddenly can't sense you anymore.

[I'm a coward, please don't abandon us, sob sob sob—]

【Scumbag! 】

Lin Nan: ...

"No, I just learned a new skill and am just trying it out. You can see."

Lin Nan demonstrated his new skill, and a bunch of vines immediately gathered around him curiously.

Wow, that sounds pretty impressive.

Does this mean we can become invisible? Does that mean we can freely enter and exit the men's bathhouse?

[Would a changing room be acceptable?]

【Wow—I can sneak into my crush's bedroom at night and not get caught? (p≧w≦q)】

Lin Nan: Hello—

Where did this improper idea come from? This is not for illegal or criminal purposes.

Despite the complaints, she did learn a new skill.

Normally, a guide learns one more skill for each level they gain, but she seems strange. She's already at Rank B, but she only has two skills, one of which she acquired by absorbing energy stones.

Moreover, neither of the skills "Parasitism" nor "Mental Shield" has anything to do with healing.

Oops, is she really a guide?
