Telekinetic attacks could not directly deal with Dark Matter, but they could still serve as auxiliary attacks. His supersonic flight speed was also faster than Kakine Teitoku's six wing flight.
"Hmph! Although I don't know what trick you just used, don't get too smug. The battle has only just begun." Kakine Teitoku wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke with a grim expression. He originally believed that mere telekinesis would have no chance against Dark Matter, but he did not expect his opponent to possess such a strange ability.
With a loud rush of air, six white wings unfolded behind him, stirring up a violent wind. The already scorching sunlight passed through the white wings and had its properties altered. The light ignited as if it had been turned into fuel, making the six wings look like blazing white flames.
"Hmm!" Arata's expression changed slightly as he quickly retreated. The sunlight felt as though it were burning his skin, and even his clothes began to heat up.
Immediately afterward, wings more than twenty meters long, shaped like giant swords, slashed downward like towering blades.
"Not only can I generate Dark Matter, but I can also alter the properties of light and electromagnetic radiation. I will not give you another opportunity."
In Kakine Teitoku's eyes, no one except the Number One Level 5, Accelerator, could possibly stop him when he was fighting seriously.
Facing Kakine Teitoku's full power attack, Arata charged straight toward him. The time defense barrier activated instantly. The moment the white wings touched him, they disappeared and returned to the state they had been in three seconds earlier, when they had not yet appeared.
"What!" Kakine Teitoku's gloomy expression changed drastically as he turned to look behind him at the wings that had suddenly vanished.
"The battle has not just begun. It already ended."
Arata rushed directly in front of him, clenched his fist, and compressed his telekinetic force. The telekinetic projectile instantly struck Kakine Teitoku in the abdomen.
Boom!
The telekinetic energy detonated immediately. The atmosphere surged violently, and a visible white spherical shockwave expanded outward to a radius of five hundred meters before gradually weakening.
"Aaaaaah! Pfft!" Kakine Teitoku turned into something like a falling meteorite and crashed downward while screaming in pain. Blood burst from his mouth and sprayed from the wound in his abdomen as he fell through the air.
Arata immediately flew toward the location where Kakine Teitoku was falling, and within a few seconds the two of them were descending at nearly the same speed.
"That bastard." Kakine Teitoku clutched his bleeding abdomen with a vicious expression. If he had not covered himself beforehand with Dark Matter that ignored telekinesis, he would have been blown to pieces.
Even so, his internal organs had ruptured because the shockwave had not been completely neutralized by the white wings. If it were not for the abnormal nature of his ability, he would have died long ago.
White wings unfolded behind him once again and slashed toward Arata, but the wings disappeared the moment they touched him.
"Damn it! What exactly is going on?" Kakine Teitoku roared.
"Get down there." Arata clenched his fist again and fired another telekinetic cannonball.
"What the hell is wrong with you, you bastard!" Kakine Teitoku roared furiously. His expression changed drastically as rage surged within him. The white wings behind him immediately wrapped around his body again, forming a defensive cocoon.
Boom!
The speed of his fall increased once more, eventually surpassing the limits of his control.
He finally crashed into the intersection of a four lane road on the edge of District 10. The central traffic signal was destroyed on impact. Like a missile detonation, the collision created a crater twenty meters wide and overturned several nearby cars and buses.
The shrill sounds of car horns, collisions, and terrified screams filled the air. Traffic was completely paralyzed.
Passengers from the overturned buses and cars quickly helped each other escape from the wreckage.
Arata landed nearby and looked around the scene with a serious expression. After confirming that there were no fatalities, he let out a small breath of relief. During the battle he had deliberately forced the attacks toward areas with fewer pedestrians.
The entire intersection was now extremely chaotic due to the accident, and hundreds of people had gathered around the scene.
"Looks like I'm really going to become famous now."
At the center of the chaotic crossroads, Kakine Teitoku knelt on the ground while clutching his blood soaked abdomen and gasping for breath.
He was not dead yet, but he no longer had the strength to resist.
"Although you are a bastard, you are not completely beyond redemption since you tried not to involve ordinary civilians in this fight. Maybe if you run into that spiky haired guy someday, he can give you a personality correction punch."
Arata walked toward Kakine Teitoku and spoke calmly.
"You are not worth me using my first kill on you. Besides, this is not a good place to do something that dirty. You did not intend to kill me either. Next time I will not hold back."
"What exactly are you, you bastard?" Kakine Teitoku said weakly as he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"It seems you are not very important to the Board of Directors either, since you were not even given my detailed information." Arata spoke with a cold voice.
"As payment for sparing your life, tell me the name of the director who assigned you this mission."
Kakine Teitoku's expression darkened. The mission briefing had indeed contained no detailed information about the Eighth ranked Level 5. He had only checked the Academy City database afterward. This guy was definitely not a simple telekinesis esper.
He then sneered and said, "What a compassionate bastard. I suddenly find you somewhat interesting. My relationship with the Board of Directors is not very good either, but I am not willing to die for those bastards. The one who gave the order was Kihara Gensei."
"Kihara Gensei." Arata narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Hehe. If you want to get revenge on him, that is unfortunate. Almost no one knows where he hides himself. Cough cough." Kakine Teitoku spoke while coughing up another mouthful of blood.
His relationship with the Board was nothing more than that of employer and employee. Since the employer had used incomplete information to deceive him, he had no reason to protect them.
"Thanks for the information." Arata replied casually. Very few people knew that the old man hid himself aboard the endlessly circulating armed train deep beneath the underground streets of District 22.
If you dare to plot against me, I will destroy your research facilities first, eliminate those researchers, and then deal with you personally.
An alarm sounded from the heavily blocked perimeter.
Well trained Anti Skill officers dressed in riot gear appeared from every direction. Wearing helmets and carrying riot shields, they surrounded the intersection while aiming their firearms toward Arata.
"Cease resistance immediately, or we will take action."
Satellites had detected abnormalities in the AIM diffusion fields, which had shifted from District 7 to the current District 10. The analysis department concluded that the disturbance was caused by interference between high level espers.
No one expected that a battle between Level 5 espers would actually break out and plunge an entire School District into chaos.
A female Anti Skill officer with a waist length ponytail stepped forward and shouted through a megaphone.
"Do not resist. We will not open fire easily. Remain where you are."
