What do you think Kuroba Mitsugu meant? (Mentioned in Vol. 13 Ch 8). Was it about Tatsuya's birth? or is it about him being a "fake" magician? or maybe something else?

I am not stating GD is a Supernatural Power, I'm illustrating his psyon pool. (Miyuki doesn't use GD, but she did use a psyon surge on her brother after he had just calibrated her CAD for fast attacks. Irony.) I could just as easily point to his usage of the flying CAD for a lengthy period of time and Ushiyama's comparison of the siblings versus the test magicians. The narrator points out that the standards of Magic Power have changed, and that thirty years ago Tatsuya and Miyuki would have been considered top tier on the basis of their psyon counts alone.
As far as the Masaki fight, that sort of goes both ways. Tatsuya was a monster for being able to shut down his sequences but Masaki's sequences were also incredibly high caliber and he released them effortlessly.
Large psyon pool isn't indicative of a superpower though. Miyuki has no superpower and neither did Tatsurou.
Psion count is not valued anymore because of CADs, it's important only when you use non systematic magic like Tatsuya and Tomitsuka. The CAD take care of the rest for the psion consumption.
It's not that psion counts aren't valid. They still mean something, it's just not as important since you could be a great magician without a huge amount of psion. It's like saying that because everyone can now learn a super strength technique that multiplies their strength, then natural strength becomes useless. It is still helpful and can be used, and does make a difference, but it's not as important, esspesially when testing skills and abilties.
That's what I meant, but it doesn't really make a difference unless you use non systematic magic a lot, for magicians like Tatsuya or Tomitsuka it makes a difference because they use it many times, it's not as important as natural strength because many magicians don't use non systematic magic for combat. Psion count is always used for magic but with the CAD the quantity of psion used is extremely small.
It's also good for over powering magics and for being able to use magic for a long time. So it is still quite useful for other magics too.
Tomitsuka Hagane's Contact-Type Gram Demolition doesn't require a large Psyon pool, because it's a tight cloud of psions that remain bound to him. He isn't shooting it out like a cannonball.
