I am not even sure if that is the right word to describe him, but for example, on the last chapter ( hope u didn’t read it yet, in case please stop here!
He is this strong and powerful guide, well known and well loved by everyone, he is a veteran.
Yet when he find about his Esper situation he is asking why he is up there? I am sure as a veteran guide, he should know about why an Esper that isn’t guided can be out of control, and he is aware that his partner is an S grade. There were also small details like this on the previous chapters that made me wonder if he was supposed to be this dummy clueless super strong guide on purpose or if he is just out of touch from other peoples or society in general, smartwise on his work, but dummy in everyday life?
Not sure if I was able to convey what I meant, but I hope yes!
He knows he shouldn't get involved but I think he just can't help but get emotional over his partner given their history, especially because it's probably his first time in a while seeing the esper in so much in distress? Everyone is like that, you know you shouldn't do something specifically, but in the heat of the moment when you think of only one thing, you're bound to do something impulsive
The mc…Somehow…I can’t put the right word to describe him…but why is he kinda dumb…?
