Chapter 14
The next day, Harrow registered with Akia at her school's office and was tested for esper powers.
"I don't get it. How do you not have esper powers? I saw you yesterday melt a dumpster to the ground!" Akia protested at they walked onto the field.
"Akia! you're here!" several groups yelled in appreciation before gathering around Harrow and explaining the attack plan to him.
"So, you got the plan?" Akia said after they finished.
"Yea, but when we start have everyone stay behind me. I'm going to show them I have a power." Harrow told them before they readied themselves on the line. Suddenly, an air horn sounded and everyone raced forward, but staying behind Harrow. Suddenly, Harrow a bright flash coming towards him. Without slowing, he drew his twin katanas and sliced the incoming projectile in two just as he stopped in the middle of the field.
Harrow reached into his pocket and brought out a quarter. As he held it in his hand, he slowly began to build up energy.
…
Kuroko, the leader of the opposing team, watched as a boy dressed in white held up his arm line a railgun while everyone on his team stood behind him and defended him.
"He's a railgun. I thought your cousin would be the one to attack us Misaka. Would you please try to block it from hitting our forces." She told a teen with light brown hair who was standing next to her.
"With pleasure." the girl replied back to Koroko, and walked forward from their teen's front lines.
As Kuroko watched the boy charge, the arcs of energy domeing over him, she wondered why he was waiting so long. Having grown up with Misaka, Kuroko knew that a railgunner only needed to wait for five seconds before unleashing their most powerful attack.
"something's not right." Kuroko told one of her battle advisers as the arcs around the boy grew larger every second and Misaka was ready to defend their line.
Kuroko gasped in surprise as the boy's twin katanas shot several feet in front of him, morphing into a large blue ring several feet in diameter, and hovered in the air. Then, another ring made of blue tubes about two feet long formed a few feet behind the first, and a blue bowl with a hole in its bottom, hovered in its center.
"What esper power does he have?!" several students asked as lightning arced from the ground to the rings.
Kuroko watched in amazement at the dome of lightning arcs shrank and a third ring appeared in the line made of long, yellow rods. Slowly, the blue tubes began to rotate with pulses from one of the yellow rods and as they sped up to high velocity, the yellow rods started to rotate in the opposite direction. As the last set of rods began to blur into one complete yellow ring, it extended forward until it touched the first ring.
Then, Kuroko felt the massive amount of energy in the air as the dome around the boy grew. Suddenly, he launched the coin through the center of the rings. The coin suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a massive, solid white, beam that streaked over everyone's heads and hit their poles. Kuroko felt herself lifted up and thrown several hundred yards by a shock wave. As the poles suddenly blew up, the blast raised a mushroom cloud several miles into the sky, with lightning arcing off the sides. As Kuroko woke up, she looked behind her and saw all her team's poles were replaced by a crater several hundred feet in diameter.
'I think he is a level six.' Kuroko thought as she fell to the ground exhausted.
…
Harrow turned around and saw his team's astonishment. Slowly, Akia walked up to him.
"I saw you fight that guy in the alley...But, I never knew you had this much power." Akia told him slowly before adding as she pointed to a row of stunned scientists and teachers in the stands, "At least you're not powerless."
"Yeah, well.. traveling through dimensions does that to you." Harrow joked with a grin before turning around and told Akia, "Come on, we better help them with the injured. I think I overdid it."
