The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 38 Will You Mark?

Lin Nan sat alone in his seat for a long time, until the bus was about to start, and Ellie came in from outside reluctantly.

The round-faced girl's face was flushed, as if she had just finished a marathon. Her hair was a little messy, with a few strands soaked with sweat sticking to her red cheeks. She was breathing heavily, her chest heaving violently, but her eyes were shining with excitement and passion.

Lin Nan looked at her curiously and asked, "What were you doing just now? Why did you come up so late?"

Ellie hesitated a bit and said, "I was just on a video call. My sentinels told me to go to the lounge and tag them temporarily when they arrive. That way, we can coordinate better during the game. Ah~ I'm so shy. This is my first time tagging a sentinel. I heard it's very awkward."

mark?

Lin Nan seemed to have heard of this term. It meant that the guide used his mental power to leave a unique mark in the sentinel's mental picture. In the future, the sentinels could sense each other through this mark.

Markings can be temporary or permanent.

Temporary marks are usually only used when a team is on a mission or in a battlefield, so the guide can accurately find the sentinel and use healing skills on him. Permanent marks have a slightly different meaning. Usually, a permanent mark is placed when two people become a fixed partner.

"When we get there, I'll take you to meet my sentinels. They're waiting for me in the lounge. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll even meet a good team."

Ellie was extremely excited and pulled Lin Nan to look at some photos of sentinels that had been stored on the terminal.

The beautiful faces passing across the screen are simply captivating.

"Are the students in your team from the North?"

"Yeah, when El contacted me, I couldn't believe it. Now, whenever I think about how much time I have left to spend with these people, I'm so happy I can't even close my legs!"

Lin Nan: ...

Lin Nan discovered that the sentries of the Northern Territory Academy had very Westernized facial features and frames. Most of them had fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. They were handsome and beautiful, like young boys and girls who had walked out of a fairy tale.

Moreover, their looks are very androgynous, and it is difficult to tell whether they are male or female. Just by looking at the photos, Lin Nan really can't tell which of them are male and which are female.

"Because most of their spirits are creatures from myths and legends, many of them are genderless, so these Sentinels also look different from others. But it is precisely because of this that we find them so beautiful."

"By the way, Nan Nan, you can mark it, right?" After a while, Ellie finally asked the key question.

"No." Lin Nan blinked and shook his head.

amount……

Ellie was suddenly speechless and her face was full of black lines.

"You really haven't paid attention to the lessons in the past two years. It's very simple. Just use your mental power to imprint a mark on the Sentinel's image. As long as the other party doesn't object, even if you are an E-level guide, you can do it."

She soothed him, patting her shoulder encouragingly. "I'll show you how when we get there."

Lin Nan: ...

Thank you so much. Sometimes, such unintentional words are also a form of bullying.

o (╥﹏╥) o
After confirming that all the guides were on board, the security department came up.

Each bus can carry more than 50 people. There are only 30 guides here, but more than 20 bodyguards. This scene is really scary.

But it was also true that they were going to the Sentinel Academy now, and the school was afraid that those untrained wolf cubs would lose control of their emotions when they saw the guide, so they were a little cautious.

Lin Nan looked left and right but didn't see the familiar female sentry, so he asked curiously, "Why can't I see Luo Xi?" Lin Nan had never seen her since she was injured and taken away.

Hearing about this person, Ellie's mood visibly dropped. She said, "Because of what happened last time, she was transferred to the front line. I heard that it's a very harsh contaminated area. Ordinary sentries who go there can't survive more than half a year—"

"..." Lin Nan's heart suddenly tightened, and the expression on his face froze instantly, "Why, she didn't do anything wrong?"

"Because of improper protection," Ellie sighed helplessly. "The school is very strict with the security department. They won't tolerate any mistakes. Plus, the competition for this position is fierce, with many people lining up for the position. If she makes a mistake now, they'll definitely use it as a handle to force her out."

Lin Nan's mood suddenly became extremely heavy.

If you want to blame Rosie for becoming like this, it's actually her fault.

If she hadn't gone to the guide office that day, nothing would have happened.

She was the one who harmed her...

The car slowly drove into the Sentinel Academy and stopped at the gate of the preparation hall.

The square was already densely packed with students who had arrived first and numerous police officers.

Wherever the guide goes, he attracts attention.

As the bus door opened, the once bustling square fell silent. Under the crowd's eager gaze, the guides filed down one by one.

They were dressed in gorgeous and exquisite clothes, and each of them was petite and fragile, like delicate flowers being pampered. They stood out among the group of gray sentinels.

The sentries automatically made way for them. Some of the sentries who had teamed up with the guides walked out from the crowd with satisfaction. Under the envious gazes of everyone, they took the hands of their guides and headed for the lounge that had been prepared long ago.

As soon as the guides disembarked from the airship, they were picked up by groups of twos and threes. Soon, they were the only two guides left in the entire square. Lin Nan and Ellie followed at the end of the group. Ellie was constantly looking at the terminal, seemingly chatting with someone. Lin Nan stood there alone, somewhat bewildered.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that many people around her were looking at her with strange eyes.

"Is it this person?"

"I'm not sure, it seems a little different from the photo, but it should be correct."

"She's really cute, she can't be that bad."

"..."

All kinds of scrutinizing and prying eyes couldn't help but steal glances over, scanning Lin Nan all over, whispering to each other from time to time.

Lin Nan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

"Let's go to Lounge No. 5. My Sentinel team is already waiting for me there. Nan Nan, you come too."

Fortunately, at this time, Ellie pulled her away from the crowd without realizing it.

The lounge is not far from the preparation hall, just a few steps away.

A sentry with blond hair, blue eyes and extremely beautiful appearance was already waiting for them at the door. Although Ellie had shown her their photos on the airship before they came and she knew that this was a very special and beautiful team, she couldn't help but be amazed again when she actually met them.

Unlike the sturdy Sentinels she was familiar with, this one was thinner and taller. He was exceptionally tall, nearly two meters and two centimeters tall, with golden hair that shimmered in the sunlight. His features were impeccably refined, with a high nose and gracefully contoured lips, forming a nearly perfect face. His blue eyes were like a tranquil lake, deep and clear.
