Saten Ruiko, Uiharu Kazari, Misaka Mikoto, and Shirai Kuroko all looked at Arata.
"Could it be that you, senpai, have access to the new convenient transportation system that Academy City recently introduced?" Saten Ruiko looked at Arata in surprise and said in disbelief. "Although students are not allowed to drive vehicles in Academy City, as a Level 5 senpai you might have some unbelievable privileges. Or could it be that Arata senpai is secretly the heir of some large conglomerate?"
"Eh! Is that true?" Uiharu Kazari asked in surprise.
Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko could not help but look at Arata as well.
"No, no, you are overthinking it. It is just a means of transportation similar to a bicycle. Just wait and see." Arata looked slightly embarrassed. Ruiko's imagination was really impressive.
A circle of golden ripples like water suddenly appeared in his hand, and five bamboo dragonflies slowly emerged from it and appeared in his palm.
Shirai Kuroko blinked once. Then she suddenly pointed at Arata as if she had seen a ghost and shouted in shock.
"Wait a minute. What you just used... that... that was a spatial ability, was it not?!"
As a teleportation ability user, even though she had not sensed the interference pattern of another similar ability user, there was no doubt in her mind that it was related to spatial movement.
"Eh? Really? A spatial ability?" Misaka Mikoto's eyes widened as she looked at Arata in disbelief. Curiosity and shock appeared in her expression. "Are you not supposed to be a telekinetic? How can you also use a spatial ability?"
"A spatial ability?" Uiharu Kazari exclaimed in astonishment.
Saten Ruiko's curiosity exploded instantly and she wore an expression that clearly showed she wanted to hear the whole story.
"Well... I am indeed a Level 5 telekinetic." Arata could not help laughing when he saw the various expressions on everyone's faces.
As for revealing his abilities, he did not think it was anything worth hiding. Everyone in Academy City already knew that he was a multi ability user, so hiding it from friends would just be unnecessary trouble.
"You are lying. That was clearly a spatial ability just now. I do not know why those golden ripples appeared, but as a powerful teleportation ability user, I would not mistake it." Shirai Kuroko pointed at Arata with a suspicious look that clearly said she believed he was lying.
"Although I am known as a Level 5 telekinetic, I am also a multi ability user." Arata shrugged and smiled.
"A multi ability user!" Everyone exclaimed in disbelief.
"Impossible. A person can only possess one ability. It is absolutely impossible for someone to have a second one unless they somehow have two brains." Misaka Mikoto looked at Arata in disbelief while biting her thumb.
"Personal Reality" works by separating part of the brain to serve as the foundation for an esper ability, which normally makes it impossible to possess more than one power.
"Although I do produce an AIM Diffusion Field like other espers, I am actually a Gemstone. I do not need complex calculations. I can simply activate my powers through intention alone." Arata said while raising one finger and looking at Misaka Mikoto's thoughtful expression.
"A Gemstone? Could it be like the seventh ranked Level 5, Gunha Sogiita, who was born with his ability without any artificial interference? Although his power appears similar to telekinesis, it also involves many unknown factors. If you are a natural Gemstone that even Academy City's research has not fully understood, then it would make sense." Uiharu Kazari said in surprise.
"So that means this guy does not only have telekinesis but also spatial abilities or possibly even other abilities. Does that mean he could become that kind of impossible existence people talk about in fantasy stories?" Misaka Mikoto felt as if her understanding of espers had been overturned. She looked at Arata as if she had just discovered a rare animal.
In many futuristic fantasy stories, characters with multiple powers were usually the final boss type figures.
Without realizing it, a powerful fighting spirit ignited inside her. Her competitive and unyielding personality slowly awakened. With absolute confidence in her own abilities and a strong sense of pride, she desperately wanted to challenge this boss like opponent.
A tiny electric spark appeared on her forehead without her noticing.
Arata looked at the extremely combative Misaka Mikoto and slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
"Misaka, do you want to fight me?"
"This... do you think I am an idiot? This is Academy City. Even if two Level 5s are not fighting seriously, it would still cause trouble for other people." Misaka Mikoto suddenly became embarrassed and tried to explain forcefully. She remembered how this guy had knocked her on the head last time.
"Your aura just now clearly showed that you wanted to fight Arata senpai." Uiharu Kazari and Saten Ruiko exchanged glances and laughed awkwardly.
"Well, alright. I would also like to try facing the third ranked Railgun. How about we go outside Academy City to spar sometime?" Arata shrugged and spoke with a knowing smile.
He knew this tsundere would never take the initiative to challenge him directly. But he was honestly looking forward to the fight unless someone else challenged him first.
Misaka Mikoto's eyes lit up slightly. She crossed her arms and spoke with an expression that seemed to say she had no choice.
"Seriously, you talk as if you are really something special. Fine then. I will just have to show you the true power of the Railgun."
"Hmph. No one in this world can withstand Onee sama's Railgun. You mere apes should kneel and beg for mercy now, or you might end up with a huge hole through your body." Shirai Kuroko said sarcastically while crossing her arms with obvious hostility.
So that is how it is. All the previous misunderstandings were because of this. Onee sama encountered another Level 5 and her competitive personality simply could not let go of the desire to defeat him and prove her superiority.
In other words, Onee sama has not fallen in love with this ape yet, while this ape is secretly plotting against Onee sama.
"..."
Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari blinked as the corners of their mouths twitched.
"No way... are they really going to fight?"
"However, today I promised to spend time with Uiharu and Saten, so we will do it tomorrow." Misaka Mikoto said confidently with a spirited and carefree attitude.
"Alright. Then let me first teach you how to use this vehicle." Arata gestured and mysteriously held up the bamboo dragonflies in front of them.
"A means of transportation?" Everyone stared with wide eyes at the bamboo dragonflies in Arata's hand.
"Is that not just a bamboo dragonfly toy that children play with? Senpai, are you joking with us?"
