While Kellen sat in a daze, trying to stop his nose from bleeding, the three powerhouses had a rather serious conversation to the side. Kellen kept an ear out for what they were speaking about, since they weren't being quiet, and was able to gather quite a bit of information.
Turns out, this was a planned attack. The group who attacked were an Esper organization that hates Guides. In fact, they had been aiming for all of the Guiding Centers, with Guiding Center A being their first target. Their belief was that Guides had too much power now, and Espers had none. Kellen found that ridiculous.
That was rich, considering in the past Guide's had been treated like objects. Some still were. The crimes committed against Guides were still high, since most Guides were paired with Espers who were known to be stronger, and legitimately prone to insanity without the proper care. Sometimes even with the proper care.
