"Ah, so that guy has arrived? Well, in that case, we have no choice but to leave for now. After all, no matter what, we have no chance of winning against an S-class esper."

The man in black shrugged somewhat helplessly and then shifted his gaze towards a certain direction.

Approximately 1500 meters away from where the man in black stood, on the top floor of a building, a man around 30 years old, dressed in dark military uniform and wearing a military cap, was standing leisurely.

The young man extended the five fingers of his right hand, and countless imperceptible threads extended from the tips of his fingers, connecting to several buildings surrounding the television station, forming an invisible web.

The large invisible web formed by the buildings around tightly bound the dilapidated television station in the middle, or more accurately, tied it up.

A little girl gazed at the person in the distance.

"Oh... Is that him? The S-class esper."

"Yes, just as we saw, he has the ability to freely manipulate threads."

"No, I think it's more than that, right? Not only manipulation, that guy can also produce threads. In my eyes, he looks like a spider that spits silk."

"Well, although it does look somewhat similar, there's a slight difference."

"Different?"

The little girl muttered in confusion.

"In fact, his ability is indeed to produce and manipulate threads, but the key lies in those threads."

"Threads?"

At this moment, the man in black suddenly changed the subject.

"Ling, you should know what spider silk is used for, right?"

"Of course, spider silk has excellent elasticity and strength, so it can be used to catch prey. Once caught, there's no way to escape."

"Exactly, in other words, spider silk has excellent elasticity and strength because it's used to catch prey. As we know, the strength of an esper does not lie in the type of ability, but in how it’s used and its intensity."

"Ah, those who rely on some kind of all-powerful ability to reach an invincible state are ultimately just amateurs."

"That's right, that guy's ability seems ordinary at first glance, and it's not as convenient as spider silk for sticking to opponents, but on the other hand, as long as the Kinesis is strong enough, cutting steel with threads is a piece of cake."

Upon hearing this, the little girl narrowed her eyes.

"It's probably more than that, looking at it, not only is he strong, but his utilization of the ability is also very flexible."

"Yes, he controls the force just right. If the hardness of the thread is too great, it will cut the building directly, and if it's too low, the entire building won't be supported. Just being able to cut steel doesn't qualify as an S-class, and the reason he is S-class is precisely because of that perfect control. In any situation, he can excel with his ability, which is the basic criterion for being called S-class. A half-baked esper wouldn't be able to do that."

"True, should we run away then?"

The little girl surprisingly uttered somewhat dejected words.

But the man in black didn't make fun of her, after all, he was also someone who tended to flee.

"Well, since that guy is here, it's dangerous for us to stay here. After all, an S-class is not someone we can handle. While he's still protecting the people inside the building, we should take this opportunity to escape, or we won't be able to later."

"Right."

In the next moment, the figures of the two people suddenly disappeared from the rooftop.
