The four PD officers spread out to surround Stephen. They moved swiftly and carefully while also watching Doni’s movement in case the boy suddenly attacked them from behind with his ridiculous speed that naked eyes couldn’t follow.
They quickly surrounded Stephen from four sides; each activated their abilities.
The team of Public Defenders from the Esper Association had something in common. Their leader would be a rank above the rest, and he/she would definitely have an ability suited for fighting.
Then the subordinates' abilities would vary. The common one would be two people with an ability suited to fight while the other two could stop movement.
For such an obvious reason of taking down and catching criminals, such a team composition was created and perfected by training in the Esper Association.
But what if the strongest of them all, the leader, had been taken care of by the enemy first? The answer was…
“Our focus is to defeat him or stall for time until the reinforcement arrives. Don’t hold back. Let’s just think of him as someone stronger than the person who defeats our captain.”
The officer, whose hand was clad in flame, gave out the order. The others, whose abilities weren’t visible to the naked eye, nodded their heads, affirming the order.
Not all abilities were flashy and needed some preparation. Some were instant and deadly; take Naomi’s Telekinesis, for example. It didn’t have any predetermined movement, nor could be seen by the naked eye. The people who got caught by it just got blasted away without knowing what happened.
“Hah! Stall for the time? Perhaps you think you can afford that? With that kind of thinking, you might as well retire and open a noodle shop downtown!” Stephen bellowed as he crouched.
His right hand was put on the ground, and he raised his back a little, like a sumo wrestler that was about to tackle his opponent.
With his huge and muscular body, he looked intimidating. The officer who stood in front of him was basked in sweat. The man could feel the beastly danger coming from Stephen by his instinct.
‘This is no man. He’s a beast!’ The officer thought as he unconsciously took a step back in fear.
Seeing that his enemy was backing off, a huge grin appeared on Stephen’s face as he kicked the ground, approaching the officer in front of him swiftly. His step was heavy like metal, and the ground sank with each step, leaving deep footprints.
“Wha?! Shit!”
The officer was caught off guard. He immediately activated his ability, namely creating a wall of wind. The wall was created by condensing a wind in one spot, and that wind was as sharp as a razor.
Some abilities were limited to doing one thing, and the officer was certainly one of that.
The other three officers moved immediately. The one whose arms were clad in flames extended his hands toward Stephen, sending a fireball with at least a 1-meter diameter to the muscular man.
“Stop it!”
The other two also extended their hands toward Stephen. A chain and a rope appeared from their arms and were shot toward Stephen. The rope was thick, and the chain looked strong too. They were enough to even hold a truck from moving, so the officers were confident of holding Stephen from moving.
“You will not be able to evade this!”
While their combination of attacks was amazing, they were underestimating the man called Stephen. His body was trained to the point he couldn’t even get any stronger. Hence, the man turned to martial arts to get stronger.
And he did get stronger, by a lot. Mastering a lot of martial arts techniques, he learned how to dodge a blow in his sleep.
“Hah! Child play!” He scoffed and suddenly stopped on his track right before hitting the wind wall. Then he jumped up, it easily passed three meters, and he held onto a street lamp before somersaulting and landing behind the officer with the ability to control the flame, the pyrokinesis.
All abilities that were targeted at Stephen hit nothing but the ground. All of them were speechless, but the officer in front of Stephen quickly turned around.
He was about to send another attack toward the muscular man, but what he saw when he turned around was Stephen’s big hand approaching his face and the beastly grin that was plastered on the metal face.
Horror washed over his body as cold sweat poured out of his back immediately. Then, he heard a deep voice that sounded like a lion's roar.
“You’re the first.”
It was a death proclamation.
Stephen’s fists smashed the officer’s head like smashing a cake. The inside was spurted out like a strawberry filling, and Stephen’s hands were dyed red from it. The now lifeless figure fell to the ground, making a soft thud sound.
Grinning, Stephen pumped his fist and looked at the other officers.
“Who’s next?”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked that question, the one who could create a wind wall ran behind the other two and activated his ability in front of them while the other two started to control their ability, making the chain and the rope dance like a snake and moving toward Stephen at a fast speed.
“How dare you!”
“You will get what you deserve for killing our comrade!”
This time, Stephen purposely didn’t move and let himself get caught. Foolish? Yes. But, the man had no fear.
His left hand was bound by the rope, while the chain bound his right. Both were strong, and the Espers who controlled them pulled their abilities together to the left and right, spreading Stephen’s arms.
“We caught him!”
“Yeah! Now we just need to watch for his comrade! Where is the reinforcement? Why haven't they arrived yet?”
“They will arrive in a few seconds!”
The officers talked among themselves, they were confident that they had managed to catch Stephen and make him vulnerable.
“Hey, Stephen. Do you need help?” Doni asked from the side with a calm tone, as if he didn’t see any problem with the current situation.
Answering him was Stephen, with an excited voice. “Are you kidding me, Doni? Do you think I need help for something like this?!”
Slowly, he moved his arms that were bound by the rope and chain, bringing both close to his chest.
“Huh?”
“Hey! Pull it harder!”
The two Espers from the Esper Association panicked. Due to their abilities linked to their hand, they got pulled over when Stephen moved his arms. They got dragged slowly toward Stephen’s direction.
“Come here, you little fuckers.” Stephen said as he glared at them.
“Hiie!”
Feeling dread, both tried to cancel their abilities and retract the rope and the chain. However, they couldn’t. When they looked at Stephen, they noticed that his hands were holding their abilities tightly, refusing to let them go.
“Oh…”
“Fuck!”
They had a bad feeling, and soon that bad feeling proved true.
Stephen jerked his hands and swung them up with all his strength.
“Oryaaa!!” He shouted loudly as he swung the rope and the chain toward the nightclub building. The Espers that got connected to their abilities were smashed toward the closed window on the second floor without mercy.
Crash!
“And that’s three,” Stephen said lightly as he let go of the chain and the rope. As soon as he let them go, the abilities disappeared in a mote of light, a sign that the Espers had either lost consciousness or their life.
“Now, what will you do?” He asked the last officer as he slowly walked toward him. “Do you want to continue where we left off?”
Now left alone, the last officer couldn’t do anything but pray.
‘Please let the miracle happen!’ He prayed inside his mind.
Surprisingly, that miracle arrived sooner than he thought.
Stephen was a martial artist. He could even feel people’s presence better than Naomi. However, this one time, he completely missed it until he felt a hand pierce his side, followed by burning pain.
“Huh?” Stephen let out a surprised voice as he looked at a white hand that jutted out from behind. He then turned around and saw the perpetrator. He was a young boy with white hair and red eyes, even younger than Doni.
That young boy. He managed to fool his senses and injured him in his metal skin state that could even deflect a bullet from a rifle.
