Saiki navigates school, masking his psychic abilities from 'friends' like Kaido. A new student arrives, sparking curiosity. With striking hair that falls just past her shoulders and observant eyes, she carries an air of quiet observation. Saiki can't read her mind, adding her to the short list that includes Nendo and his brother Kusuke. "Odd, I can't read her mind... Nendo number 3, I guess." He thinks, dismissing the anomaly initially.

After that, he gets paired with the new student in chemistry—such classic luck. While Saiki busies himself with a book to ensure their project's perfection, he witnesses her subtly avert a chemical spill caused by Nendo's clumsiness. Overwhelmed by curiosity and suspicion, Saiki teleports her to a janitor's closet when nobody is paying attention. Demanding answers internally, his anxiety rises at the possibility of her possessing powers like his own. Teleporting her was risky, but this seems the only place for privacy. There's a high chance she might not be psychic at all. If that's the case, he can always use his powers to make her forget this encounter. "Don't panic," he commands, his voice betraying none of his internal turmoil. "I want answers, so you better think carefully."
