Chapter 24: Anir
'Rina's' expression became slightly more distasteful. "That's none of your business. The only one who can inquire about us is our mother and maybe our uncle. You and your mother might think yourselves to be our family, but you are just passersby in our life."
Kaizer did not stop walking towards Rina until he came to stand before her. "Utter nonsense. It is not for you, whatever you are, to decide what my cousin can or cannot consider to be her family. Return her this instant or I will have to take harsh measures."
'Rina's' visage cracked and became one of hot fury. "This! It is precisely this that I hate about you! What makes you think you have any right to us, just because of a foolish childhood promise?!"
Kaizer was suddenly blasted into the rooftop's entranceway by a whip of black energy that emerged from Rina's body. It was so fast that he only barely sensed it before it struck, and using telepathy on Rina was useless since the same problem persisted, so he could not read her next actions.
Kaizer emerged from the rubble relatively unscathed, brushing off the dirt from his body as he displayed a new power he had managed to finally grasp on his way here. He had been practicing nonstop for 3 days before school resumed, trying different famous applications of psychic power, but many of them required either more practice or more power to grasp.
Strangely, after killing those operatives with his psychic power, some energy had been absorbed by him that almost tripled his base psychic power, so some of those abilities he could not access were now open to him, though their usage was rough and unskilled.
Right now, one could see a translucent energy lattice that was light blue in color form around Kaizer, approximately 5 meters away from his skin, covering his entire body. This lattice seemed fragile and improperly organized, so it crumbled in places and was rapidly fixed the next moment.
Psychic Barrier!
The basic defensive ability of any battle-oriented psychic with a telekinesis ability, the psychic barrier was something that every psychic needed to maintain their weak physical forms as they combated foes, or they were essentially like glass cannon mages—one hit would spell the end of their mighty prowess no matter how powerful.
