Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Measure Heart (心理定規 Shinri Jōgi (Mejā Hāto), lit. "Mind Ruler"): A psychological esper power of unknown level capable of "regulating the distance between people's hearts", that is, adjusting the emotional distance between herself and a target. While she can use it between two other people, it has been mentioned that is much harder for her to use her power that way. Her power allows her to both increase or reduce the emotional distance with a target. Since her power only changes the emotional distance between two people, Kaibi cannot actually choose how the target reacts to her, so sometimes her power can backfire because of the target's personality. For example, she stated that she wouldn't set herself as a person close to Accelerator to try to fight him, as he may be the type of person who would feel betrayed when faced with a loved one as an enemy and so would display extreme murderous rage if she used her power on him.[2]
- Reducing Distance: Kaibi can reduce the emotional distance between herself and the target to inspire trust and affection, in addition to making it harder for most people to attack her. For example, when she set her distance to Shiage to the same value he has to Takitsubo Rikou, Shiage was unable to shoot her, the same way he would not shoot Rikou, despite objectively knowing that Kaibi and Rikou are two different people.[1] She can achieve similar effects by setting the distance as a kitten abandoned in the rain so the enemy finds it harder to attack her, or setting herself as the target's beloved husband/girlfriend while they are inside a burning building to prevent them from easily fleeing the building and leaving her behind. Some SCHOOL subordinates have also stated she's an esper who can get anyone to spill the beans to her, likely by setting herself to be close to her target so that they trust her enough to tell her their secrets.
- Increasing Distance: Kaibi can also increase the emotional distance between herself and the target to inspire fear or aggression, for example putting her distance with her younger sister as the one of a local dentist to intimidate her into behaving herself, or putting herself in the distance of a dangerous escaped convict or a being with absolute authority like a god to make enemies freeze in fear, flinch in panic or even just to draw the attention of the target away from allies and towards herself by making the enemy feel she's the biggest threat.
- Side Effects: A side effect of Kaibi's power is that since she knows the distance between her heart and her target's, she has a vague sense of where the other person is located without relying on her eyes or ears, just like the tension is very different depending on whether someone is standing in front of you or behind you. Additionally, her power offers her some protection from other types of mental/psychological powers, shielding her from Mitsuari Ayu's Mental Stinger, although Kaibi herself admitted she doubted the same would happen if she were facing Shokuhou Misaki's Mental Out.
