Satan Sen activated Space Movement and suddenly appeared in front of Chinatsu. Clenching one hand into a fist, she activated her fire-starting ability, striking out at Chinatsu with a fist wreathed in roaring flames.
"She's actually playing with... fire fists?" Chinatsu muttered in surprise, casually turning her body to dodge the strike.
Although her ability output had become stronger after losing total control, her attacks were easier to read without her sanity.
Of course, the most important thing was that Chinatsu no longer needed to show mercy to the mindless Satan Sen. The more she tried this 'Talk-no-Jutsu' thing, the more she felt she wasn't cut out for it.
Just as Satan Sen was about to launch another offensive, an incredibly heavy force pressed down on her from above like a cascading waterfall.
Bang!!!
Satan Sen instantly lost her ability to move. Even if she could use Space Movement to escape the influence of this force, that was contingent on her being able to activate it successfully.
Looking at the collapsing buildings surrounded by a sea of fire and the beast-like Satan Sen lying beside her, Chinatsu couldn't help but raise a hand to scratch the back of her head, letting out a helpless sigh.
"This is such a pain~"
Though she complained about the trouble...
Her hands were quite honest.
Chinatsu held one palm high. The gravitational shield that she originally used only to protect herself expanded its range at an alarming speed, ensuring the flames and falling boulders could no longer affect them.
"Alright, time to handle the difficult problem."
Chinatsu took a deep breath and exhaled, crossing her arms to perform a set of vigorous stretches.
If she let Satan Sen's ability continue to run wild, her body would be riddled with holes and completely self-destruct. At that point, it wouldn't be something an advanced hospital could fix; she'd likely be dead before even reaching the ICU.
So, Chinatsu prepared to use external force to terminate the rampage caused by Satan Sen's ability fusion. The key lay in the chaotic, tornado-like AIM Diffusion Field emanating from her body.
In Academy City, there was a girl named 'Takitsubo Rikou,' who was hailed as the person most likely to become the next Level 5 Esper.
Her ability was called [Ability Track], which worked by sensing AIM Diffusion Fields to lock onto target units.
Once this ability reached the realm of a Level 5 Esper, she would be able to use her power through the AIM Diffusion Field to influence another person's Personal Reality.
To put it simply, if she became a Level 5 Esper, she could freely modify the ability levels or even the types and quantities of abilities of others, instantly becoming a true queen reigning over Academy City.
Unfortunately, she couldn't become a Level 5.
What Chinatsu was preparing to do now was somewhat similar to Takitsubo Rikou. Although her superficial ability was judged as Gravity Manipulation, she had known since she was young that her power was not limited to that.
As she delved deeper into her own power, she was classified as a Level 5 Esper by the Research Institute based on pure destructive power, but she had always kept the true nature of her ability a secret.
[Field Control]
Whether it was magnetic fields, electric fields, gravitational fields, or even AIM Diffusion Fields, Chinatsu could interfere with them if she tried hard enough. The scope of her ability could no longer be described as merely 'large'.
After all, even an abstract field like the AIM Diffusion Field could be interfered with, but all of this could be explained by her being a [Gemstone]. When it came to mystery and the unknown, Gemstones would always have their place.
"That said, I haven't practiced this much. The only one I'm truly proficient at is gravity... No choice then, I'll have to treat a dead horse as if it were alive!"
Chinatsu stared seriously at Satan Sen, whose AIM Diffusion Field was in utter chaos. What she needed to do was interfere with this turbulent AIM field to straighten out her current mess of an ability state.
"Experiment, begin!"
At the same time, the sea of fire enveloping the charity event continued to rise. However, thanks to Shokuhou's ability and guidance, not a single person had died, and even the number of people with minor injuries was negligible.
Shokuhou panted heavily. She hadn't adjusted the release of her ability to this frequency in a long time; it was unexpectedly exhausting.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to wipe the sweat from her cheeks, a clean handkerchief was handed to her.
"Miss Misaki, use this."
Hokaze Runkko considerately handed over the handkerchief. Shokuhou nodded and took it without any pretense.
The nearby Tokiwadai Students looked at each other upon seeing this, then hurriedly jogged over.
"Shokuhou-san, I have water here!"
"Shokuhou-san, are you injured anywhere or do you have muscle aches? I'm a healing-type Ability User!"
"Shokuhou-san, thank you so much for stepping in just now. We are deeply ashamed of our past behavior of avoiding you because we were afraid of your ability."
Because of her sudden move to save the day at the charity event, Shokuhou's favorability among all the Tokiwadai Students skyrocketed. Most importantly, it dissolved their stereotypical image of her.
Shokuhou was startled by this sudden 'harem-like' development. A layer of bashful shyness appeared on her flushed, panting face.
At that moment, a member of the Sha Faction ran nervously to Shokuhou's side, swallowed hard, and spoke with a stutter due to anxiety.
"I... I didn't see Senior Sadan or Miss Chinatsu. Could... could they still be... still be inside?!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked worried. As they turned back toward the burning charity venue, another explosion boomed, and a flying rock nearly hit the people nearby.
In response, everyone had to move even further away from the fire-engulfed building. Regarding the situation of Satan Sen and Chinatsu still being inside, Shokuhou confidently comforted the nervous faction members.
"Don't worry, they'll be fine."
As the flames slowly scorched the building, some students clasped their hands in prayer with nervous hearts, wishing for the two to be safe.
A few minutes later, a sensory-type Ability User who was tensely watching the charity venue suddenly spoke up to spread the good news they cared about most.
"Someone's coming out, it's two people!"
Everyone's eyes immediately turned toward the direction swallowed by the sea of fire, and a blurred figure gradually appeared in their sight.
When the figure fully emerged from the fire, it turned out that Chinatsu was carrying the unconscious Satan Sen in a bridal carry.
At this moment, although Satan Sen was extremely weak, her condition was no longer worsening. The rampage of her abilities had been forcibly reset to zero by Chinatsu.
"Whew~ I'm exhausted~"
