Koyama blocked the attack with his hands and marked a distance against Ren by trying to hit him with a sidekick.
"Brat! You hit so hard!" Koyama showed his face now without the hood hiding it, a large scar crossed all over his face, something that only attributed to his villainous appearance.
"[Telekinetic-]" Koyama was about to show his skill when a blow to his chest interrupted him by shattering his psychic barrier.
"I don't understand your need for melee combat, but I understand the feeling of hitting your enemies a bit" Ren had his hand extended after launching his attack.
"Ni-san, who is he?" Ritsu looked curiously at Ren who was standing calmly in front of them.
"I don't know, I only met him once a long time ago" Mob shook his head as he was impressed by the difference between Ren and Koyama, not in power but the kind of aura that each expelled through their powers.
Koyama had a sinister and dangerous touch, while Ren was totally calm and his aura was not wild compared to Koyama, Ritsu, or when he uses his powers himself.
"Don't ignore me you damn brats!!" Koyama appeared at Ren's side with his [Telekinetic Helix] already fully formed on his arms and legs.
"Ho~ You managed to place your will in your arms and legs with this thing" Ren watched with intrigue at Koyama's attacks that were filled with raw muscle power.
Ren tested Koyama's power by placing a barrier between them both, but Koyama was able to destroy it without straining as soon as the barrier touched Koyama's power.
"What a primitive way to use your powers" Ren stopped playing with Koyama who was launching all kinds of attacks in order to reach Ren.
Ren used a bit of his telekinesis to knock Koyama off balance and then connected with a blow to the side of Koyama's head against the ground.
* BAM! * Koyama slammed into the asphalt and shattered it completely from the power of Ren's attack.
"Get up... I can still feel that you're awake" Ren kept his distance a bit as he watched Koyama who got up from the ground shortly after and looked annoyed at Ren for interrupting and for not being able to land a blow against him.
"Tell me brat, who trained you, or what group do you belong to? are you part of that chaos brigade?" Koyama wiped the blood from his face as he watched Ren's movements with full attention.
"Nobody, just a couple of books was all the guidance I've had and I'm not with any group, but I look at this place as my territory" Ren told a lie, but no one here would know what it is and Ren didn't care as long as he made his clear message to Koyama who was thinking many things.
Although Ren's lie would not be quite true since he sometimes eliminates hollows or wandering ghosts that are a nuisance or become dangerous to his daily life.
"Well, it was fun testing how strong I am, but playing with someone weaker isn't entertaining." Ren snapped his fingers and caused the air in the alley to move for a moment.
Koyama looked confused for a few seconds like the Kageyama brothers until they noticed how Koyama began to scratch his throat as he turned more and more purple until he fell to the ground passed out.
Ren changed to his uniform in an instant when he walked back to the commercial area of the city to buy what he had originally come for.
"HEY!!" Mob's group ran towards Ren when they stopped being surprised by Kageyama passed out from suffocation.
"Thank you very much for your help, my name is Shigeo Kageyama, but you can call me Mob like everyone else" Shigeo was the first to speak and showed a real appreciation apart from bowing a bit and then introducing himself.
Ren watched in silence for half a second "Mob and Ritsu, you are Teru the leader of the Black Vinegar highschool among the thugs" Ren pointed at each one to show that he recognized their names.
Teru looked a bit embarrassed when Ren made him remember his past when he was addicted to showing his powers and thinking he was the best.
"Kishida Ren, just call me Ren, I am a Psychic or Esper like you, and now I am going to buy some groceries, if you have questions keep them for when I finish shopping" Ren pointed to the commercial section with his left hand.
"Oh! It's too late, I have to go to work" Mob left after checking the time in an appliance store, while Ritsu and Teru just nodded to what Ren said and then said goodbye to Mob.
..

"Yo~ let's go to a less crowded place" Ren greeted Ritsu and Teru who had been waiting quietly for him under the tree in the plaza they were in.
"Where we go?" Teru asked as he used a little of his power to prevent the air breezes from knocking down his wig.
Some people were taking photos of Teru in the distance while others were just laughing, the three of them ignored this as two of them were more focused on Ren.
"At my house, I have to prepare lunch and dinner, apart from that it will be safer to talk there... by the way, take these, they will be very useful to avoid some plagues" Ren gave Teru a talisman while he gave two talismans to Ritsu.
"What are these?" Ritsu looked at the talismans with intrigue and then looked back at Ren's back.
"They are to prevent spirits from coming for you, now that you have your powers released, so does your spiritual energy, and I am not talking about harmless ghosts, but about monsters that can destroy your house just to eat your soul, nothing similar to this" Ren held Ekubo who had been floating silently while hearing the talk.
"Y- You're talking about those beasts with white masks" Ekubo spoke with a trembling voice as he tried to free himself from Ren's hands.
"They are Hollow and the answer is yes, those monsters will be what you will become if you continue without going to a spiritual realm to fulfill the cycle of life" Ren's comment took Ekubo by surprise.
"But maybe it won't happen, you have very little spiritual energy, almost nothing, but you are composed entirely of psychic energy... how strange" Ren looked at Ekubo's soul with total intrigue for his lack of spiritual energy.
"Dude, you are scary!" Ekubo floated as far and fast as possible from Ren.
"The talisman works for 24 hours and you only have to touch it once a day, I recommend that you make your loved ones touch them as well, because if you have a lot of spiritual energy it is because you inherited it from your parents... We are here" Ren led the way home where his grandmother was apparently taking a nap in her room.
"Come in, don't make too much noise since my grandmother is asleep... you-" Ekubo entered the house without any care and without activating the seals at the entrance of the house, this under Ren's alarms when he saw that Ekubo didn't have bad intentions for anyone in the house.
"Nyaa~" King ran into the living room when he smelled and heard Ren arrive.
"Well, now that we are both, I can tell you about which group the man from earlier belongs to, Ritsu-kun didn't want to talk about it until your Ren-san was present" Teru sat in the living room while denying the invitation to having tea or coffee and that with water was fine as Ritsu.
"I understand a little well how they work, but only a little superficial, but go ahead tell me, maybe you know more than I know" Ren sat on another sofa with King in his arms when he finished putting all the things he bought in their place.
"Kageyama-kun, you better record this conversation in case you want to show it to your brother" Teru advised Ritsu who quickly took out her phone and started recording.
Teru proceeded to explain what he knew about the Claw organization which is made up entirely of Esper whether they are artificial or natural like all of them, apart from kidnapping children with lesser powers to brainwash them and planning to overthrow the world government.
After Teru finished explaining what the Claw organization was, Ritsu looked down at his hands as some doubts could be seen in him.
"Why were they looking for me, how did they know I had powers-?" Ritsu got up from his place when he remembered the group from the Awakening Laboratory where he had attended with his brother's name and there were more people with age-similar to him in the place, apart from being the only ones who knew about his powers.
"The Awakening laboratory! That's where they got the information about me and apparently, they have already kidnapped the others" Ritsu was interrupted when his phone rang due to a call from Mitsuura who was very distressed and worried when he asked if Ritsu was okay.
