He would relentlessly answer back to anyone like how he mocked his classmate despite being continuously bullied by the same kid. Either by pure innocence that he too like to brag about his friend like how he bragged about Kusuo's power when he had been sure that Kusuo is an esper. As a high school student, he became more annoying to to others as well as Kusuo who who can read mind as Touma's mind floods with words and the speed he thinks is the same speed as he talks to others.

Past
When he was 6 years old, Touma was mocking his classmates when one of them a petty trick. He talks with Kusuo easily and the two have a friendly relationship. At the end of the class, Touma was beaten by the said Classmate when Kusuo was on his way to teleport, he saw Touma on the ground and thought that he lost consciousness after he was beaten up on a playground, Touma was actually awake at that time and witnessed Kusuo healing him. The next day he asked Kusuo and called him a healer with an image of a priest in games in his mind. Kusuo gave him a weird face as if saying he doesn't know. Kusuo was hesitant to say anything but he was friendly with Touma and since then the two were seen together. Kusuo always see using his clairvoyance how their classmates bully Touma like taking his shoes. Then one day, Kusuo went home without Touma when he suddenly turn back to the school and found Touma has been knocked out by his classmates and is been made fun of. Kusuo went mad and destroyed the whole school.

Current
Because of his parents divorce, Touma transferred to PK Academy and finally met Kusuo. Kusuo, then wasn't able to recognize him because his last name before was Asumi and also due to Touma's thoughts quickly changes, Kusuo finds difficulty in reading his thoughts with telepathy. As a result, Kusuo suspected him first as another psychic. When Touma confronted Kusuo about the incident at their old grade school, Kusuo was hesitant so he petrified Touma first then he tried to change the course of the story by going back to the past the day before Kusuo rampaged on the grade school. He then went back to the current time he was originally in and remove the petrification on Touma. He then decided to tell Touma about his powers. Thus, Touma is the 3rd person in the PK Academy to know that he is a psycic.
