''The term "esper" does not automatically imply ESP, one of the two classifications of powers in Academy City, as it could also refer to ability users that do not have extrasensory perception, but could only influence objects outside to oneself, referred to as Psychokinesis. Abilities such as Pyrokinesis is an esper power despite the user not having extrasensory perception.''

Meh, most psychic abilities in the setting functions the same in practice: by the way that Abilty Users perceive the world and determines how they interact with it. Thus, "ESPer" is a legitimate term for Ability Users; they're using their abilities via extra-sensory perception.
