Gordon McSweeney wins. In a battle of two opponents with flamethrowers in the same range, it's all about who pulls the trigger first. Gordon has less to go, simply squeeze his fist, than Azaka, who has to recite an incantation and move her hands. Despite the cast-on-target nature of pyrokinesis (not sure how it works in Kara no Kyoukai, I haven't watched it. I'm going off of my knowledge of pyrokinesis as used in most fiction), she may already be burning before she can finish casting. If she has teh same resilience as an ordinary human, she will be too buisy screaming to cast.
