What’s the story?

The manga begins with Arataka Reigen, a self-proclaimed psychic, accepting an exorcism case from her client, Hanako.
Arataka guides Hanako through his different exorcism courses, all varying in price. Hanako is convinced about the professionalism of Arataka, but her lover, Tarou appears and calls Arataka, Fishy. Tarou calls him shady, which he completely denies.
Arataka claims that, once the spirit is exorcised, Hanako’s face will return to normal. Tarou snaps at him by saying that there is nothing wrong with Hanako’s face.
Hanako takes Arataka to the building where the ghost is supposed to be, but does not point at the building she is referring to. Arataka claims that he senses an evil aura from a nearby building, but it isn’t the building Hanako was referring to. He quickly recovers by indicating at a man and saying that he is an evil spirit, “The Cleft Chinned Monster”.
Hanako then explains that a man once died in this building by hitting his head on the ceiling, when he jumped because he saw a cockroach. Arataka gets frightened, as he is afraid of cockroaches.
That is when the spirit, Ceiling Crasher, appears.
Arataka attacks the spirit with his signature move “Salt Splash”, but the spirit just shakes it off, claiming that normal salt doesn’t affect him.
Seeing this, Arataka calls his Secret weapon, Mob, the protagonist of this story. Mob being a real esper, exorcises the spirit with ease.
Mob reminds Arataka, not to call him on short notice and also questions his psychic abilities. Arataka claims that he could have easily taken down such a weak ghost, but he wants Mob to learn a few things from him and get strong enough to fully Control his powers. We then see Mobs explosion meter at 22%.
What will happen when Mobs explosion meter reaches 100%?
