*Are you busy?* Emiko read from her phone. She decided to annoy the guy who texted to her.
*Sorry. Who's this? :)) If you're offering to sell me potatoes, I already have enough.* She replied.
*I revoke our friendship since you can't be bothered to save my number.* A seemingly sarcastic reply. Her phone buzzed again. *Do you really have a lot of potatoes?*
*I actually do have a lot of potatoes. Dad bought two baskets worth because it was a good deal, apparently. :/* She sent him a text and remembered why he texted her in the first place and quickly typed *No. I'm not busy*
*Cool. I'm coming over. I wanna see your powers.*
*Sure, just teleport to the living room.*
*If you insist.*
Not sooner had she read that. The psychic appeared in front of her in a flash.
"Whoa. That's pretty cool."
'Are your parents home?'
"No."
'I see. Well, there's this place I go to when I want to test or measure my powers. Let's try yours there.'
"I also get to see your powers too, right?"
'Yes.'
"Let's go."
Kusuo teleported both of them to his secret spot. He explains that there is no one there for a hundred kilometre radius and that he controls satellites to stop recording overhead when he is there.
'...I could dance naked here and no one will know.'
"Cool, cool... But... have you though?" Emiko asked cheekily.
'Why is that the only thing you took away from all the things I said?'
"Because it's the most interesting out of all the things you said. Why'd you say it?"
'To prove my point that it is very secure.'
"You could have used another example."
'Can we get to the real reason why we're here?'
"You did dance naked didn't you?"
'If I did, I don't think it matters.'
"Yes it does! The very nonchalant Saiki Kusuo dancing naked. My, my, imagine if Kaido found out!"
Saiki rolled his eyes 'Remove your canceller.'
"Okay. You might wanna step back. I have no idea what's gonna happen when I remove this." She reached to the back of her neck and pulled out a tiny green orb.
"Huh. Nothing happened." She secured the canceller in her pocket. "That's funny, I really thought that I'd-" Emiko didn't get to finish her thought because her eyes glowed brightly for a few seconds and she was lifted from the ground by a force Kusuo couldn't see, but could feel. A bright energy blast sprung from her causing the earth to shake as she loses consciousness and starts to fall to the ground. Saiki teleported to where she was going to fall and caught her before she could reach the ground. As he held her in his arms, he could feel her pulsing softly. He lays her gently on the ground and teleports to his house to get a mattress and a jug of water before teleporting back.
When he returns, he sees that she is still unconscious so he lays her on the mattress and waits.
Five minutes later, Emiko opens her eyes and feels strange. She takes a few seconds before she recollects what happened.
"Saiki!" Kusuo is suddenly at her side and helps her up. "You're okay!"
'Of course.' He said. 'Are you?'
"Yeah. Yeah."
'Drink water.' He handed her the jug.
She took it gratefully and drank water. "My body isn't used to being without the canceller for so long. I was told that the energy blast is a possibility if I removed it for after more than eight months. The canceller doesn't stop the power completely. I just cannot use my powers when I'm wearing it. My body still continues to generate and absorb energy. Which is why when I got sick, whenever I'd sneeze, bits of energy would blast because I wasn't in full control of my body."
Saiki nodded in understanding. 'Can you use your powers ? Or maybe you should rest?'
"I think I can use it now." She stood back "So again, I manipulate energy. There are two basic forms of energy, yeah? Kinetic and potential and there are another nine main form under those two forms. Nuclear, Chemical, Gravitational, Elastic, Mechanical, Electrical, Thermal, Radiant and Sound. I won't get in depth because you're you probably know all of this. So all of those kinds of energy that are basically everywhere, I can manipulate it."
Kusuo nods in understanding.
Emiko breathes in and then floats on air. "I'm floating up here not because I'm defying gravity, but rather I, I manipulated the gravitational energy not to pull me into earth but above it."
'I'm beginning to understand how your power works better. In fact, it's giving me an insight to my own.' Saiki lifts off the ground. 'Let's see how fast you are when you're off the ground.' He challenges her.
"I'm a bit rusty but I'll give it a go."
'You can manipulate all sorts of energy, right? Use them all and try to catch me. I'll try to catch you as well. To win, you have to hold the opponent's hands behind their back.'
"That's impossible! You're like, super powerful!"
'Scared?' He smirks.
"Of course not!" Emiko protests.
'Let's go then.' He waits for Emiko to attack. 'Defend yourself when I attack you.'
Emiko changes the gravitation energy around Saiki causing him to drop, but being the all powerful, he repels her attack and teleports behind her. He throws a might punch. Which she blocks with both hands absorbing all the kinetic energy before transforming it into an energy blast directed at him within seconds. Saiki teleports the blast to appear behind her which she predicted so divides the big blast into smaller ones making it more difficult for him to dodge. One gets him and he thrown back a bit. She opens her mouth and releases a sonic sound wave that pushes him to the ground creating a crater in the ground. She gets really worried wondering if she has gone too far. She drops fast from the sky controlling her fall to see if Saiki was okay. She sees him lying on the ground and runs to check on him worriedly. As nears him, she doesn't sense a life force energy concluding that it was an illusion. She decides to play into his trick and pretends to be worried still while all the while, is creating a sound blanket in hopes to catch Saiki.
"That hurt." She hears Saiki whisper at her ear. Ignoring the chills it sent down her spine, she whipped around and pushed him back to the sound blanket she created. She approached him as fast as she could but Saiki dissipated her blanket and was out of sight. She gathers a strong force and pounds a boulder into dust hoping it would reveal Saiki's whereabouts. She sees a dust forming around an invisible body and makes her way to it when she feels a pair hands grab her wrist. She spins back and gives a kick only to have it his hand grab her ankle. She manipulates the heat of her body to make it hard for Saiki to hold, but it was no problem for him because he could control temperatures. She closes her eyes and releases a radial blast throwing Saiki off again. Making her way towards his direction, she finds herself sinking into the ground until she was at waist level. She struggles preparing to release another blast when she feels her hands being held behind her back.
She hears a smug voice. 'I win.'
"Of course you did." She said bitterly.
'You're such a sore loser.'
"I told you all of my powers and I don't know all of yours. Actually, you should have just said you could do anything." She huffs playfully.
'Would it make you feel better if I told you that you put up quite a fight?'
She glared at him. "Help me up, Saiki Kusuo."
'My full name, huh.' He said amused as he pulled her up. 'You're a quick thinker, you're agile and very strategic. If you had been using your powers constantly I'm sure you could have beaten me.'
"Don't sugar coat this." She laughed.
'I'm not. I wasn't expecting this at all. Look at me.'
She gets a good look at him and sees that his shirt is ripped, he has scratches and burns everywhere, his hair is a complete mess. She feels bad right away.
"Are you okay? I'm really sorry."
'Don't worry about it.' A wind blows and Saiki suddenly looks back to normal.
"Wow. I wish I had a power like that."
'Hm. Even if your hair was singed, or if you had several wounds, I'd still say you were cute.' Saiki said without a thought.
Emiko's cheeks turned a deep shade of red. She turned away to calm down and change the subject.
"You have super strength, right?"
'Yes.'
"Can you lift that boulder?"
'Easily. I'll carry three." And he did so with ease.
"Never knew you were quite the show off, Saiki."
'Had to gloat a bit more after beating you.' He smirked.
"Why you-"
'Who would have known that one of the most popular and 'perfect' girls was a sore loser?' He mocked playfully before he was shoved back by a sonic blast to prove his point.
