"What?" Kaibi Gokusai was slightly startled. Her eyes shifted subtly and her thoughts immediately turned cautious. She forced a smile.
"You want to fight the Eighth?"
"Heh. Is that funny?" Kakine Teitoku sneered.
"Academy City openly forbids Level 5s from fighting each other, yet they assign me a mission like this. Interesting. Truly interesting."
He leaned back lazily, a mocking smile on his face.
Among the Level 5 espers in Academy City, the only one he truly cared about was the one ranked first.
His own ability had already determined that.
The gap between abilities could not be overcome through effort alone.
His Dark Matter was, in some respects, an even more powerful force than the number one ranked Vector Control. Yet he was still ranked second.
That fact had always irritated him.
"Are you really planning to make a move? Your opponent is one of the eight Level 5s in Academy City. You might even become enemies with him," Kaibi said with a light smile.
"Heh. For now it is better to let those idiots lower their guard." Kakine narrowed his gloomy eyes. The kind of eyes that only appear after spending a long time walking in the darkness.
We have not yet found a way to contend with Aleister.
So for now we will simply cooperate with those fools.
The Board of Directors were nothing more than ordinary people managing Academy City's power structure. Pathetic figures who did not even understand Aleister's true plans.
Although Kakine himself did not know Aleister's intentions, he understood one thing clearly.
As long as he gained the right to stand before Aleister and speak as an equal, that man would never ignore him again.
The Board of Directors meant nothing to him.
The true foundation of Academy City had always rested in Aleister's hands.
"Then I will be out for this one. My ability will not be useful here," Kaibi said calmly.
"Same here. I cannot help either." The boy with the lifeless zombie like expression adjusted the strange goggles resting on his head.
"I am only a Level 4 telekinetic. A Level 5 telekinetic should be able to completely ignore my ability."
"A Level 5 is not someone you can casually deal with." Kakine smiled confidently.
"Even if he has only recently reached Level 5."
He did not believe that even he himself could kill Accelerator.
Let alone the newly appeared eighth ranked Level 5.
"Telekinesis cannot compete with Dark Matter. That is an absolute difference in ability."
"Good luck then. I will be leaving." Kaibi stood up gracefully while picking up her luxurious handbag.
"Contact me if there are any suitable jobs later."
"You will not receive a share of the fifty million yen reward for this mission," Kakine said casually.
"That is fine." Kaibi laughed lightly.
"After all, I did not do anything."
"The Eighth. Telekinetic control."
Kakine stood up and walked toward the huge glass wall.
Outside stretched the dazzling futuristic skyline of Academy City.
His gloomy eyes slowly narrowed as he looked toward District 7.
...
Inside the elevator.
Kaibi Gokusai took out her phone and opened a contact.
"Senior Arata."
"They actually want to target the Eighth."
Although Arata publicly appeared to possess only telekinesis, Kaibi knew more than that.
He also possessed spatial teleportation capable of crossing an entire school district.
And who said teleportation could only be used for escape?
She had an even more frightening guess.
Arata possessed more than two abilities.
Even if she did not know his exact strength, the mere fact that he was a Multiple Ability user meant he was certainly no weaker than someone who controlled Dark Matter or Vector Control.
"Senior Arata, should I warn you?" Kaibi lightly touched her lips with a finger.
"It would be very dangerous if people discovered I leaked this information."
"Senior, you owe me a big favor."
"You must treat me well."
...
Meanwhile.
Inside Komoe sensei's office.
Arata had already been lectured for quite a long time.
Watching Tsukuyomi Komoe standing there with her hands on her hips made him seriously want to hug her and rub his cheeks against hers.
"Listen carefully, Arata chan." Komoe said seriously.
"You cannot casually use your ability like that again. The destructive power of a Level 5 is simply too great."
"This time more than thirty people were injured. We must regulate your ability properly before something even worse happens."
"Exactly." Fukiyose Seiri crossed her arms and nodded in agreement.
"You really frightened everyone this time. You are always so reckless."
"Why are you saying such obvious things?" Arata scratched his head defensively.
"I have always been a very thoughtful person."
"You idiot." Fukiyose immediately frowned.
She grabbed Arata's shoulders with both hands and slammed her forehead toward his.
"I dodge!"
Arata easily dodged the attack.
But Fukiyose could not stop her momentum and ended up crashing directly into him.
Both of them fell onto the floor.
"Hey! Hey! You two stop fighting!" Komoe sensei shouted in panic.
Arata had intentionally allowed himself to be tackled.
Once Fukiyose grabbed him he could not just escape.
Was he supposed to use telekinesis to lift her into the air?
That would look extremely stupid.
And besides.
Ah... this feeling.
She is really well developed.
At least a D cup.
Maybe even larger.
His chest collided directly with the soft impact.
This was clearly the universe playing tricks on him.
Fukiyose suddenly realized how inappropriate the situation looked.
Her face immediately turned bright red as she struggled up like a flustered tigress.
"Arata! You... you get out of here!"
"Hey, be reasonable." Arata said innocently.
"You were the one who jumped on me."
"We should blame Tokiwadai instead."
Fukiyose stood up quickly, embarrassed and furious. She glared at him before storming out of the office.
"Women are really unreasonable." Arata sighed while getting back to his feet.
Trying to reason with a girl was simply foolish.
"Fukiyose chan has been paying a lot of attention to you recently, Arata chan," Komoe sensei said sweetly.
"Hmm. I know." Arata sighed dramatically.
"I am just too charming."
Despite his troubled tone, the smile on his face completely betrayed him.
"Arata chan." Komoe's expression softened.
"Do not do things that make the people who care about you worry. Everyone will become anxious."
"Thank you for the guidance, Komoe sensei." Arata grinned brightly.
"You are becoming cuter every day."
"Because the ability test was interrupted by Arata chan, the school has decided to suspend classes for today." Komoe smiled happily.
"You may either attend a make up class with another teacher or leave the school early."
"Then I will leave school." Arata said with a bright smile.
"By the way, can I hug Komoe sensei?"
"Why?" Komoe glared at him suspiciously.
"Are you trying to play tricks on your teacher again?"
"If it is the same reason as last time, your teacher will definitely send you to prison."
"Not at all." Arata raised one finger.
"It is simply because the teacher is so cute."
"I just wanted to hug you."
"There is absolutely no ulterior motive."
