Chapter 21: Strength in Number
Naomi’s POV
It’s been a day since my battle with Mischa. Last night was really fun! I didn’t expect that Mischa also had 2 different abilities like me, and her abilities really complement each other. I had guessed that one of her abilities was something like suppressing an Esper with emitter-type ability.
When I tried to use my Telekinesis last night, it was like something trying to keep my Telekinesis to stay on my body and I can’t control it outside my body. On the other hand, when I use my Adjustment on my body, the suppression from Mischa’s ability only affected it slightly. Maybe because I didn’t need precise control when I use my Adjustment ability, unlike my Telekinesis which requires precise control to adjust its strength.
And surprisingly her 2nd ability was Adjustment too. She could enchant her strength, but it seems she can’t enchant her reflex and her senses to move more accurately and subconsciously. On our exchange last night, I could dodge and block her punches because I had enchanted my reflex and my senses. It was fun, that was the first time I had a fight with someone that could follow my movement.
If I must rank Mischa based on my fight yesterday, I’d say her Power Level would be around 12.000. In another word, she’s SSS-Rank Esper with 2 abilities to boot. The truth was I wanted to fight longer, but my enchanted senses could hear a helicopter and someone running towards our location last night. That’s why I retreated.
The story would be different if I could use my Telekinesis, but with only Adjustment, it would be difficult. Not to mention I never fought any enemy directly, Mischa was my first. After making a cloud of dust yesterday, I grab Rekka and jumped from the crater with all my might. The result was me holding Rekka shoot up to the sky as high as more than 500 meters. At that point, I can use my Telekinesis again.
The first thing I do after getting control over my Telekinesis was to fly and controlling the Flying Island. Because I was worried about the flying island and Rekka was worried about his sister, we decided to went to the flying island as fast as possible. When I reached the flying island, fortunately, the island was safe. It seems they had a panic attack when the island started to fall, but Hyun-Woo immediately makes a barrier to stop its fall and Dan-Bi creates water from the moisture of the cloud to hold the island to help Hyun-Woo.
When they saw me and Rekka arrived on the island, Anna immediately runs towards Rekka and hug him. We talked for a while until finally, I decided to go home and do my last work. I gave Chi an order to send me the captured video that she had recorded on Avos Island. But, Chi hadn’t sent the video that night, that’s why I decided to sleep although the clock only hit 9.00 P.M.
This morning, there is a notification on my holo phone that notifies me about a new video being sent on my fake account. I opened my laptop and immediately downloaded it. After the download was done, I delete the video that was sent to my account and keep the one that I downloaded on my laptop. I took out the stuff that I buy together with the camera and connected it to my laptop. The stuff that I buy was a microphone to record all the voices when I attacked the facility. More importantly, it recorded my Declaration towards Esper Organization.
I edited the video using my laptop and upload it using another fake account and fake address.

3rd POV
(Esper Association’s Main HQ)
Inside a room with a round table, 6 individuals sat on the chair around the table. They are the executive of Esper Association directly answer to Esper Association’s leader. Right now they are having a discussion about a video released online by someone who they think is Mugetsu’s ally.
The content of the video was about Mugetsu attacking one of Esper Association’s facilities on Avos Island with a meteor and humiliated Esper Association officers in a fight. At the end of the video, there is a message from Mugetsu directed to Esper Association and maybe the whole world.
“What shall we do with this? What’s our IT department doing?!! Tell them to remove the video immediately!!” One of the individuals that sat on the chair slammed the table and shouting.
“They’ve been trying since the video was uploaded on the public. But for some reason, the video keeps coming back and now they can’t erase it.” Answered another individual in the room.
“The question is not what we can do about the video. But what we can do to prevent Mugetsu. The content of the video was the problem, this will catch our enemy and someone with a grudge against us to join Mugetsu’s organization.” Said the only female in the room.
“Moon of Akasha, meaning Moon of Sky or Eternal Moon huh. At least Mugetsu is poetic didn’t she? Even her name means Moonless Sky.”
“That doesn’t matter at all!! She said she will disappear for 2 years, let’s find and kill her in that time so she will disappear forever!!” the individuals with long hair in the room said while raising his fist.
The last individual in the room only nodded his head without saying anything. After they had done expressing their opinion one by one, the monitor in the room lit up.
“Good work everyone.” The voice came out from the speaker of the monitor. Immediately every individual in the room stood up and gave a salute to the monitor. “You can sit.” Everyone sat on their chair after the voice said that. “You are talking about Mugetsu, right? Just let her be. If by any chance she attacks us again, at that time we will use our full strength to crush her.”
“””As you wish!! Our lord Avos!!”””
