Chapter 30 - Chapter 28: A Hidden Level 5

​Yuuya allowed himself to be dragged by Kaibi Gokusai to a secluded park bench.

​"You can stop running. There are no more strange gazes," Yuuya said, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead.

​"Takahashi-senpai, it was too rash of you to propose to me in public like that!" Kaibi scolded, releasing his hand. She turned around, hands clasped behind her back, and smiled sweetly.

​"Although I can't accept your proposal immediately... we can start as friends."

​"No problem. Friends is a good start," Yuuya agreed with a smile.

​He scratched his sideburns, his eyes scanning the perimeter.

​'Is there an ambush? A sniper?'

​He checked his map. No red dots. No hidden enemies.

​'Strange. Why lure me here if not to attack?'

​"Are you thirsty, Senpai? Should I buy you a drink?" Kaibi pointed to a vending machine a few meters away.

​While pointing, her beautiful eyes analyzed him.

​'This guy defeated Accelerator. He's been hiding as a Level 0 for years. He is dangerous.'

​'I shouldn't offend him until I know his true strength.'

​"No need. Let me treat you. And I don't need money."

​Yuuya looked at the vending machine.

​'I just got Move Point (Coordinate Movement). Let's test it.'

​He visualized the coordinates of the cold soda cans inside the machine. He calculated the vector and displacement.

​Snap.

​Two cold cans of soda materialized instantly in his hands.

​[Ability: Move Point (Coordinate Movement)]

​Unlike Shirai Kuroko's Teleportation (which requires touch), Move Point allows the user to move objects remotely within their line of sight.

​Yuuya quickly assessed his limits.

Maximum weight: 6,580 kg.

Maximum range: 1,200 meters.

​'This is stronger than Musujime Awaki.'

​Musujime was the strongest known Move Point user, but her trauma (getting stuck in a wall) limited her to 4,520 kg and 800 meters. Without that trauma, she was a candidate for Level 5.

​'Wait... if Musujime is a top-tier Level 4... and I'm stronger than her...'

​'Does that mean I'm basically a Level 5?'

​The classification of Level 5 in Academy City wasn't just about raw power; it was about whether you could defeat a modern army single-handedly.

​With the ability to teleport 6 tons of material inside a person's brain from a kilometer away... yes. He was definitely Level 5 class.

​"Spatial Teleportation?!"

​Kaibi's eyes lit up as she accepted the soda.

​"Is your ability Teleportation, Senior?"

​There were only 58 spatial users in the entire city. Only 19 could move multiple objects. And moving objects remotely without touch? That was exceedingly rare.

​'Intel report said Level 2 Pyrokinesis. The Board lied to us.'

​'If Kakine attacked him thinking he was a Pyro, he'd be teleported into concrete before he could blink.'

​"No, no. Not Teleportation. Coordinate Movement," Yuuya corrected, looking proud. "I can move anything I see without touching it."

​"Wow! That's amazing! Senior just moved two cans without moving a muscle. Are you a Level 4 Great Ability user?"

​"Guess~" Yuuya teased.

​"It can't be Level 5, can it? None of the seven Level 5s have spatial abilities~" Kaibi probed playfully.

​"Indeed. There are only seven public Level 5s," Yuuya said with a half-smile.

​He didn't deny it.

​"Could there be a... Hidden Level 5 in the shadows?" Kaibi covered her mouth in feigned shock.

​'He didn't deny it. And he beat Accelerator.'

​'Confirmed. Target is likely the Eighth Level 5.'

​'Mission status: Too dangerous for recon.'

​Kaibi decided instantly. She wasn't going to fight a Spatial Level 5. If things went south, he could escape instantly—or kill her instantly by teleporting a pebble into her heart.

​Even Kakine Teitoku might struggle to catch a teleporter who could move faster than reaction time.

​"I'm not sure about that," Yuuya laughed. "Would you like to see a movie with me, Kaibi-chan?"

​"I really want to! But... school's over, and I have a curfew. Can we save it for next time?"

​Kaibi apologized sweetly, pulling out her phone. "Can we exchange IDs?"

​"Of course."

​They tapped phones.

​"See you later, Takahashi-senpai!"

​Kaibi waved goodbye, skipping away with a bounce in her step.

​Yuuya watched her leave, his smile fading into a thoughtful expression.

​"Interesting... The spy has made her move."

​He put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the park, heading toward the Kihara Institute.

​"Originally, I had to wait for Nunotaba to come out. But with Move Point... I don't need to wait."

​"I can teleport inside."

​...

​District 15. SCHOOL Hideout.

​"Level 5 Coordinate Movement? A superior spatial ability? Heh... this is indeed interesting."

​Kakine Teitoku chuckled sinisterly as he listened to Kaibi's report on speakerphone.

​"No wonder the commission was so high. A Hidden Level 5."

​"Are you still planning to pursue the mission?" Kaibi's voice came through the phone, sounding worried. "Fighting another Level 5 is risky. And with spatial movement, you can't pin him down easily. He can just leave."
