How to Avoid an SS-Rank Esper

“Ever since I touched you, I can’t control my feelings.”

Banteon, a teacher at the Royal Esper Center, was secretly enjoying the night when he encountered Delroz, an SS-rank Esper, collapsed on the street. He ends up guiding Delroz. The next day, Delroz starts looking for the person who guided him that night. Banteon, not wanting to get involved, tries to avoid him. However, despite his efforts, Banteon keeps running into Delroz.

What will happen to the Esper who is determined to find his guide and the guide who wants to escape him?

[Preview] For some unknown reason, Delroz firmly believed that the guide who saved him was a woman. His conviction was so strong that he didn’t doubt it even with the person in question right in front of him.

Gaining confidence that he had not been discovered yet, Banteon crossed his arms and looked at Delroz. He spoke in a calm voice, as if he were a third party.

“I hope you find the rumored guide soon, but it has nothing to do with me. Now, return my belongings.”

“Hmm…”

At Banteon’s firm words, Delroz fell into silent contemplation, not moving at all. Even as time passed, he didn’t budge. Finally, a tired Banteon urged him again.

“I heard it’s a woman with long hair.”

“That’s right.”

A clean affirmation returned. Banteon was curious about why Delroz was so sure it was a woman. Knowing full well that the misunderstanding was advantageous for him, he still asked.

“I heard you were in a dangerous state, but you seem to remember quite clearly?”

“She was beautiful.”

“What?”

Banteon asked again, momentarily doubting his ears.

“She was the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. It’s repulsive to think a man would ever look good to me.”

I don’t usually write reviews but I’m a writing this to clear up the other review.

This story is truly great. So far I’ve enjoyed reading it a lot and I’m really looking forward to how the main couple relationship is going to develop.

Each chapter is interesting and we see a lot of actions and situation progress. So just for that it doesn’t deserve the bad rating.

About the story, yes the ML is “straight” but I mean it was written on the tags so if you know you don’t like this... more>> type of trope just don’t read it. I’m not a big fan of this tag either but I gave a chance to the story and don’t regret it. I wouldn’t say the ML is homophobic he just thinks he’s straight so obviously he doesn’t want to be lovey dovey with guide male. And at time where he does says borderline things, those are just jealousy towards the men the MC interact with. The ML is not the greenest flag ever but he isn’t a red flag either. So far he’s been respectful in his actions it’s just taking him some time to go past his “straight man” phase and accepting that he is attracted by MC.

The MC is kinda morally dubious because he does get in relationships w his students (that are past 18 btw). But I like his character. He set boundaries with the ML and isn’t one of those crybaby bottom which I really appreciate. Other than that there’s not much to his character. He’s a great but basic MC.

I also really like the set up of the story and the translation is top notch. So if you were discouraged by the other review give it a chance.

(Also English isn’t my first language so I’m srry if I made mistakes) <<less

So far, the MC is a classist femme-boy chasing groomer with no redeeming qualities or interesting features and the ML is a heterosexist SS rank man-child who probably thinks sleeping with the MC isn't gay because they're pretty like a woman. This isn't surprising given the "straight seme" tag. Frankly, I think authors who write BL smut and stubbornly label their characters as "straight" deserve to be review bombed into the abyss. If your character is a man who sleeps with other men, he is at the very least, 'not... more>> straight'. I haven't read any of the smut scenes yet, but no matter how good they might be I can hardly imagine they make it worth reading the tr*sh between them. <<less

Also writing to counter balance a previous post. This story is firstly, well translated. There's a lot of culture and history regarding Espers and guides, and the MC is very earnestly a product of his upbringing: a noble city-man, with his own vices, low morals, but with a sense of responsibility that comes from his privilege. He's honestly a fun character to read and follow especially since the story is told from his world view.

The MC is more standard, overtly straight guy (seemingly homophobic but that appears to be relative... more>> to the liberal environment esper-guide necessitates, something the ML didn't grow up in). He's street-born, sometimes vulgar and violent, but also calm and tempered. He's pretty mellow all things considered, but we'll see since his esper instincts seem to be acting up.

I like how the world-building is slowly simmered into the plot, which is quite typical but well written and not too slow-paced. Altogether a recommended read. <<less
