"YUYU, how do you think that person managed to put a leash on our country's strongest Espers?"
'That person?'
Ah, Moon Noa was probably talking about the President who came after Kwak Hakjae stepped down from his position and before President Cheol Kang took the presidential seat.
So, we're talking about the person who ruined the lives of many Espers and Guides.
"That person recognized the true value of Guides, so she passed the law that allowed the government to "own" Guides," Yuno answered, wondering why his boss was suddenly giving him a pop quiz. "Since Espers aren't allowed to have their own Guides anymore, they are forced to come to the National Guide Bureau if they want to receive Guiding. The National Guide Bureau is a government branch. So, if a high-ranking Esper wants a high-class Guide, then they'll try to curry favor with the government. That's how the previous President gained power over the highest-ranking Espers in the country."
