Chapter 71: S-Class Superiority 3
At this moment, two flows of psychic energy were stripped from the corpses he took down and were infused in his mind, increasing his upper limit once more.
Kaizer glanced at the shaken Carl - who couldn’t believe how close he had come to death despite his powerful abilities - and noticed that the grey-haired esper did not look at the energy leaving the corpse and flowing into his body.
That was something Kaizer always wondered. If those adept in seeing psychic manifestations were to be present when Kaizer killed a person, would they sense his ability to drain the corpse? As far as Kaizer could see, Carl did not react to this feat, which he surely would because what Kaizer was doing was thought to be impossible.
Sadistic Flame and Crystal Ice, who were poised to strike at the moment when Kaizer was under siege, were frozen in place, their expressions mirrored perfectly in shock. Not only were they surprised to find that Carl could mind control others, but they were also shocked by Kaizer’s ease of killing.
Yes, seeing such a young man and theorizing that it was his first job made them think he would have the jitters as an inexperienced youth and subconsciously pull his punches, only incapacitating his foes. However, seeing one person’s entire chest area become see-through while the other was pulverized, the two ladies felt their hearts go cold.
It was now that they realized how foolish their previous thinking had been. On what grounds did they have to compete with Kaizer, who could decimate two squads of espers on his own without taking a hint of damage?
The answer was ignorance. S-class espers were extremely rare, and one in this cavern had ever met any in actual combat before. Yeah, S-class espers took on missions, but if we are to take Alpha City as an example, the entire city had a population of nearly 20 million people.
Of that, around 500,000 were espers. And of that number, not more than 20 were S-class espers, including graduates, bosses of organizations stationed here like the Dean and the current seven S-class students in the Academy.
Bosses of organizations would not deign to do low-level missions like this, and graduates were usually being groomed to be top-level bosses or had a team of their own doing top-level missions worldwide. That level only the esper academy students would use stuff like this for assessment and training, so with only 7 students - 5 before Kaizer and Rina joined - what were the chances of encountering such people?
