**[00:42] ---**
This is amazing, Ruiko!
**[00:44] ---**
It was all I could do just to
lift a paper cup before, too!
**[00:45] ---**
Are you all right, Mu?
**[00:48] ---**
Ruiko...?
**[00:56] ---**
What do I do...? My ability...
**[00:59] ---**
Ow...
**[01:02] ---**
Akemi! How dare
you let me fall like that!
**[01:04] ---**
Knock it off, both of you!
**[01:07] ---**
It's a modest power,
compared to Shirai's or Misaka's,
**[01:12] ---**
and it may not seem like
much of a power to others...
**[01:19] ---**
...but I've become an esper!
**[01:30] ---**

"Estimated time remaining 2 seconds"
**[02:56] ---**
Finished.
**[02:58] ---**
But really, being able to level-up,
just by listening to this--
**[03:01] ---**
is that even possible?
**[03:03] ---**
That is what our well-meaning
information supplier told me.
**[03:08] ---**
Honestly, I'm not sure I believe it.
**[03:11] ---**
But if I use this to become an
even bigger esper than you are,
**[03:15] ---**
Miss Shirai, I could do all sorts
of things to get back at you.
**[03:18] ---**
Your thoughts are as plain as day.
**[03:21] ---**
If you would like to get even with
me for anything, be my guest.
**[03:25] ---**
I'm kidding! I was kidding!
**[03:29] ---**
Your cell! Your cell is ringing!
**[03:33] ---**
Yes... Yes, understood.
**[03:37] ---**
Apparently, another student
has gone out of control.
**[03:40] ---**
Uiharu, you contact Dr. Kiyama.
**[03:42] ---**
All right.
**[03:43] ---**
"AIM Analytical Laboratory"
**[03:45] ---**
Yeah, the item has arrived.
**[03:47] ---**
Can it really be possible to raise
one's ability with a music file?
**[03:52] ---**
Hmm, that's a tough one.
**[03:54] ---**
With a Testament, maybe...
**[03:56] ---**
Testament?
**[03:58] ---**
Do you have such a device?
**[04:02] ---**
Oh... Yes... Yes...
**[04:07] ---**
You don't say... Thank you for everything.
**[04:16] ---**
Maybe we're barking up the
wrong tree with this music file...
**[04:27] ---**
"Saten Ruiko"
**[04:34] ---**
Ah, hello, Miss Saten?
**[04:36] ---**
The phone you have dialed is
either out of signal range,
**[04:39] ---**
or has been turned off--
**[04:52] ---**
What do you think of my power?
**[04:55] ---**
Another case of the Level Upper?
**[04:58] ---**
What's your deal?
You want to mess with me?
**[05:01] ---**
You couldn't take me in ten years--
**[05:05] ---**
And here I am, ten years younger than you.
**[05:07] ---**
Check out my--
**[05:10] ---**
Taste my power!
**[05:12] ---**
I wish they would cut it out already.
**[05:17] ---**
Okay, this is going to sting a little.
**[05:23] ---**
You're getting fresh
bruises every day, huh?
**[05:26] ---**
What choice do I have?
**[05:28] ---**
There are more and
more people using Level Uppers.
**[05:31] ---**
There's no telling how far this is spreading.
**[05:35] ---**
Whining about it will not do any good.
**[05:39] ---**
Anyhow, there are three
things we should be doing.
**[05:44] ---**
The prevention of the Level Upper's spread,
**[05:46] ---**
and the recovery of
the users who are in a coma...
**[05:48] ---**
And...
**[05:50] ---**
...the arrest of whoever
developed the Level Upper.
**[05:52] ---**
No matter what, we will find out
**[05:54] ---**
who created this and put it on the net,
**[05:56] ---**
and get them to reveal
what their motives are.
**[06:00] ---**
Well, let's get you taken care of first.
**[06:05] ---**
Are you sure you wouldn't really
rather have Miss Misaka wrap you up?
**[06:08] ---**
I cannot very well afford
to allow Sissy to see me like this.
**[06:12] ---**
That's okay.
Nobody wants to see you like this.
**[06:17] ---**
Yoo-hoo! Is there anything I can help wit--
**[06:23] ---**
G-Good afternoon, Sissy.
**[06:30] ---**
So, making any progress
with the investigation?
**[06:33] ---**
Well...
**[06:35] ---**
From what Dr. Kiyama told us,
**[06:37] ---**
there is a special device,
called a Testament, which is able
**[06:41] ---**
to input a large quantity
of data electrically into the brain.
**[06:45] ---**
However, it operates through sight,
sound, smell, taste, and touch--
**[06:50] ---**
all five of the senses.
**[06:53] ---**
The Level Upper is a
music file. That's just hearing.
**[06:58] ---**
We searched the rooms of the victims,
**[06:59] ---**
who are now in a vegetative state,
**[07:01] ---**
but we didn't find any
other data, except for the song.
**[07:08] ---**
Hypothetically speaking,
is there any possibility
**[07:12] ---**
that the song itself
works on all five senses?
**[07:16] ---**
How do you mean?
**[07:17] ---**
Don't you remember what we talked
about when we had that shaved ice?
**[07:23] ---**
Let me see...
**[07:24] ---**
Flavor tasting?
**[07:25] ---**
No, not that.
**[07:28] ---**
--Synesthesia!
--Synesthesia!
**[07:30] ---**
What is that?
**[07:31] ---**
Synesthesia! When one
thing stimulates multiple senses.
**[07:37] ---**
You stimulate a sense
using one kind of method,
**[07:40] ---**
and other senses
become stimulated as well.
**[07:43] ---**
So you mean, by stimulating
the senses with sound,
**[07:45] ---**
you get the same effect as
you would by using a Testament?
**[07:50] ---**
It is a possibility.
**[07:52] ---**
I see. I'd overlooked that.
**[07:55] ---**
I'd like to ask you to
pursue that line of investigation.
**[07:57] ---**
Yeah, in that case, I should even
get permission to use Tree Diagram.
**[08:02] ---**
Tree Diagram?!
**[08:04] ---**
If you use Academy City's greatest
supercomputer, that will be quick!
**[08:07] ---**
I'll be in touch once I have the result.
**[08:09] ---**
Then, do you mind if
I head over there right now?
**[08:12] ---**
I'd like to see Tree Diagram in use.
**[08:16] ---**
No, I don't mind.
**[08:27] ---**
Well? After just practicing
for four or five days, I can do this!
**[08:31] ---**
Well, look at me!
**[08:32] ---**
You're all amazing!
**[08:36] ---**
Maybe I should at least
tell Uiharu about this.
**[08:40] ---**
But I'll bet she'll be mad at me.
**[08:46] ---**
--Akemi!
**[08:47] ---**
--Akemi!
--Akemi!
**[08:48] ---**
What's the matter, Akemi?
**[08:50] ---**
--Akemi!
**[08:51] ---**
--Akemi, wake up!
--Akemi!
**[08:52] ---**
--Are you okay?!
**[08:52] ---**
--Akemi!
--Are you okay?!
**[08:54] ---**
"Saten Ruiko"
**[08:57] ---**
Miss Saten, I've been worried about you.
**[08:59] ---**
You're aloof when we're at school,
and when I call, you don't answer.
**[09:03] ---**
--ollapsed.
**[09:04] ---**
What?
**[09:05] ---**
Akemi just suddenly collapsed.
**[09:08] ---**
I didn't know that when you
use the Level Upper, you'd collapse.
**[09:14] ---**
How could this happen?
**[09:18] ---**
I didn't... mean for this...
**[09:21] ---**
C-Calm... Calm down,
and take it slowly, from the beginning.
**[09:27] ---**
I got my hands on the Level Upper.
**[09:31] ---**
You said they'd catch
anyone in possession of it...
**[09:34] ---**
But I couldn't get rid of it. And then,
**[09:38] ---**
Akemi and the others said
they wanted the Level Upper...
**[09:41] ---**
Mm-mm, no, the truth is,
I was just too afraid to use it by myself.
**[09:47] ---**
Whatever, where are you now?
**[09:49] ---**
Do you think I'll succumb, too?
**[09:52] ---**
If I do, will I ever wake up again?
**[09:57] ---**
I couldn't stand not having any power...
**[10:03] ---**
But I just couldn't
give up my longing for it...
**[10:11] ---**
Mama...
**[10:12] ---**
Huh? What was that?
**[10:14] ---**
Do you think Level 0s are defective?
**[10:18] ---**
Huh? What are you...?
**[10:20] ---**
I tried to ignore that,
and gain power anyway,
**[10:24] ---**
so maybe I'm being punished for it.
**[10:27] ---**
I got involved in something dangerous,
**[10:29] ---**
and dragged those around
me into it, too... I...
**[10:37] ---**
It's all right!
**[10:40] ---**
If you do fall asleep,
I'll come wake you up, right away.
**[10:45] ---**
You, and Akemi,
and everyone else who fell asleep. So...
**[10:51] ---**
...please, just leave everything to me!
**[10:55] ---**
Miss Saten, I'm sure you'll
tell me "just five more minutes."
**[11:03] ---**
Uiharu...
**[11:05] ---**
Miss Saten, you are not a defective item!
**[11:08] ---**
You're always, always
dragging me to keep up,
**[11:12] ---**
even without any abilities, aren't you?
**[11:14] ---**
Miss Saten, even without any powers,
you'll still be Miss Saten!
**[11:18] ---**
You're still my best friend!
**[11:21] ---**
So... so...
**[11:24] ---**
...don't go saying anything... so sad...!
**[11:41] ---**
You're asking me to count on *you*, Uiharu?
**[11:44] ---**
I-It's not just me!
**[11:46] ---**
There's Miss Misaka,
and Miss Shirai, and lots of others!
**[11:51] ---**
Mm-hmm,
**[11:52] ---**
I know.
**[11:55] ---**
Thanks, Uiharu.
**[12:00] ---**
I'm sorry for causing
so much trouble for you.
**[12:02] ---**
I'll let you handle it from here, okay?
**[12:33] ---**
"Good Luck Charm"
**[12:34] ---**
Miss Saten...
**[12:37] ---**
#10 Silent Majority
**[12:49] ---**
Saten used the Level Upper?
**[12:51] ---**
Yes.
**[12:52] ---**
Uiharu said she would make sure
to analyze the data and help Saten,
**[12:56] ---**
and headed off to Dr. Kiyama's office.
**[13:00] ---**
Oh.
**[13:03] ---**
Do you have a minute?
**[13:06] ---**
What did you want to talk about?
**[13:08] ---**
Saten had a good luck charm, remember?
**[13:12] ---**
Oh, the one that was
always dangling from her bag?
**[13:15] ---**
She said she got it from her mother,
**[13:19] ---**
before she came to Academy City.
**[13:21] ---**
She told you that, Sissy?
**[13:24] ---**
Mm-hmm. I think she probably
wanted to tell me lots of things.
**[13:29] ---**
And yet, I just...
**[13:31] ---**
They may say that I'm a Level 5,
**[13:34] ---**
but I'm no good when it comes to this stuff.
**[13:37] ---**
Sissy...
**[13:39] ---**
I'm the sort that whenever there's
a hurdle placed in front of me,
**[13:44] ---**
I can't rest until I've jumped over it.
**[13:48] ---**
My reaching Level 5 is a result of that, too.
**[13:51] ---**
I never thought of it as anything great.
**[13:55] ---**
Then again,
**[13:56] ---**
there are also those who come
to a stop in front of the hurdle, right?
**[14:01] ---**
I'd never considered that
those people exist, too.
**[14:05] ---**
"Your level doesn't make any
difference, does it?" Yeah, right.
**[14:13] ---**
Such an inconsiderate thing to say.
**[14:19] ---**
So, let me assist with the case.
I'd like to help Saten, too.
**[14:24] ---**
Very well.
**[14:28] ---**
Thanks. I appreciate it.
**[14:32] ---**
I-I should thank you...
**[14:38] ---**
Do you have a moment?
**[14:41] ---**
A real Gekota?!
**[14:43] ---**
Sissy, he is not.
**[14:47] ---**
These are all the brainwave
patterns of the Level Upper victims.
**[14:51] ---**
Brainwaves vary according to each person,
**[14:54] ---**
so there's no way they should
each have the same waveform.
**[14:57] ---**
However, I noticed that
each of the Level Upper victims
**[15:00] ---**
had a common brainwave pattern.
**[15:03] ---**
What does that mean?
**[15:05] ---**
Supposing that there is someone else
**[15:07] ---**
who is forcing their brains to
work with this brainwave pattern,
**[15:10] ---**
it would exert a tremendous
influence on the body.
**[15:14] ---**
Then the Level Upper is forcibly
tampering with their brains,
**[15:16] ---**
leaving them in a vegetative state?
**[15:19] ---**
For what reason would someone do that?
**[15:21] ---**
I'm a doctor.
Investigating that is *your* job, right?
**[15:52] ---**
I see.
**[15:53] ---**
And now, even that girl from the other day...
**[15:56] ---**
I'm the one who's responsible.
**[15:58] ---**
You shouldn't blame yourself too much.
**[16:01] ---**
Take it easy.
**[16:04] ---**
I'll go put on some coffee--
**[16:06] ---**
This is no time to be
taking things so easily.
**[16:10] ---**
The analysis results
haven't come through yet,
**[16:13] ---**
and if your friend wakes up
and *you've* collapsed,
**[16:15] ---**
that won't do either of you any good.
**[16:19] ---**
It's okay. I'm sure it will
all work out all right in the end.
**[16:44] ---**
If this clearly matches a specific
person's brainwave pattern...
**[16:47] ---**
...once we have Uiharu
search through the databank...
**[16:52] ---**
But Uiharu is not here.
**[16:55] ---**
Oh, that's right.
**[16:56] ---**
My goodness, what's all the fuss?
**[17:00] ---**
Miss Konori...
**[17:04] ---**
You don't say. In that case,
**[17:06] ---**
access to the databank is called for.
**[17:08] ---**
What if the data isn't in the databank?
**[17:10] ---**
It will be okay.
**[17:12] ---**
Adults who have received
hospital consultations,
**[17:15] ---**
or have taken vocational aptitude tests,
**[17:17] ---**
not to mention students
undergoing ability development,
**[17:19] ---**
will have their data stored in there.
**[17:20] ---**
But how is it that when
one uses the Level Upper,
**[17:23] ---**
they have the brainwaves of this
same person programmed into them?
**[17:26] ---**
Furthermore, I have no idea
how it would raise your ability level.
**[17:31] ---**
Not even a computer's performance
increases that dramatically,
**[17:35] ---**
just because you're using
a certain piece of software.
**[17:37] ---**
Apart from connecting
to a network, that is.
**[17:40] ---**
Does performance increase
when connected to a network?
**[17:43] ---**
Individually, performance does not increase.
**[17:46] ---**
But if you connect a lot
of different computers in parallel,
**[17:50] ---**
their computing power does increase...
**[17:52] ---**
That's it. Is it possible
that by using the Level Upper,
**[17:55] ---**
they've constructed a network of brains?
**[17:57] ---**
It is a possibility.
**[17:59] ---**
But how are all of their
brains connected together?
**[18:02] ---**
If I had to suspect something,
maybe an AIM diffusion field?
**[18:07] ---**
Espers emit a force around
them without even being aware of it.
**[18:11] ---**
If those were to be connected...
**[18:13] ---**
But that's something people do unconsciously.
**[18:16] ---**
If our brains are likened to computers,
**[18:19] ---**
we all use different brands of OSes,
**[18:21] ---**
so it wouldn't have any meaning
to link them together, would it?
**[18:23] ---**
Computers on the network also
have different OSes,
**[18:26] ---**
and they even use different languages.
**[18:29] ---**
But the reason networks can be created
**[18:32] ---**
is because there are protocols, right?
**[18:34] ---**
Are you saying that a
specific person's brainwave pattern
**[18:37] ---**
is serving as a protocol?
**[18:40] ---**
Ultimately, it's just a possibility.
**[18:42] ---**
But if one were to
connect brains in parallel like that,
**[18:45] ---**
they would be able to do
an enormous amount of computing.
**[18:49] ---**
Even for someone who
individually has only a weak ability,
**[18:52] ---**
by plugging into a network,
**[18:55] ---**
the throughput of
that ability would increase.
**[18:57] ---**
Add to that the collective thought
patterns of epsers of the same type,
**[19:03] ---**
and you'd be able to manage
that ability that much more efficiently.
**[19:06] ---**
I have a hunch that all the brain
activity of the coma patients
**[19:09] ---**
is being used on this network.
**[19:13] ---**
Here it is!
**[19:14] ---**
The brainwave patterns'
agreement rate is 99%!
**[19:22] ---**
This, too... And this, too...
**[19:25] ---**
They're all papers on synesthesia. But why?
**[19:32] ---**
How naughty...
**[19:35] ---**
looking at someone's research
findings without asking first.
**[19:40] ---**
I-Is that...?
**[19:42] ---**
Registrant name...
**[19:44] ---**
Kiyama Harumi?!
**[19:46] ---**
Uiharu!
**[19:47] ---**
What about Miss Uiharu?
**[19:49] ---**
She said earlier that she
was headed to Dr. Kiyama's office.
**[19:52] ---**
She what?!
**[19:54] ---**
Uiharu!
**[19:55] ---**
The phone you have dialed is...
**[19:57] ---**
I cannot get through!
**[19:59] ---**
Contact Antiskill!
Take Kiyama Harumi into custody!
**[20:02] ---**
However, there is a
chance that she has a hostage.
**[20:04] ---**
Right!
**[20:13] ---**
By the way, I've been
wondering this for a while,
**[20:17] ---**
but what's with the flowers in your hair?
**[20:19] ---**
Does it have to do with your ability?
**[20:22] ---**
I have no obligation to answer you.
**[20:24] ---**
Never mind that, what is the Level Upper?
**[20:27] ---**
Why did you do all of this?
**[20:30] ---**
What will become of
the people who are asleep?
**[20:33] ---**
So many questions.
And you won't even answer my question.
**[20:38] ---**
What's so amusing about
raising someone's ability,
**[20:41] ---**
and getting them excited over nothing?
**[20:45] ---**
Like Miss Saten...
**[20:48] ---**
Like Miss Saten...
**[20:52] ---**
I'm not interested in others' abilities.
**[20:56] ---**
My objective is something even greater.
**[21:02] ---**
I'm going, too.
**[21:03] ---**
I don't want to get a civilian involved,
**[21:06] ---**
but with the help of a Level 5 like you...
**[21:12] ---**
Sissy!
**[21:14] ---**
Uiharu is on Judgment's bottom rung.
**[21:16] ---**
If it comes to it, she herself can...
**[21:20] ---**
...probably... manage something...
**[21:25] ---**
...if she is lucky...
**[21:28] ---**
Besides, I doubt that a
single scientist like Kiyama
**[21:31] ---**
has the means to stave off Antiskill.
**[21:34] ---**
She has the lives of thousands
of comatose espers in her hands.
**[21:39] ---**
Besides, I've got a bad feeling about this.
**[21:42] ---**
Then that is all the more reason for me,
as a Judgment officer, to...
**[21:51] ---**
You're going into
action in the shape you're in?
**[21:53] ---**
Sissy, you knew?
**[21:55] ---**
Of course I did.
**[22:00] ---**
You're my junior.
**[22:03] ---**
In a situation like this,
you turn to your Sissy.
**[22:11] ---**
Sissy...

Hey, I had a good time today.

I think I'll finish by undressing
for the preview. Next time--
**[24:05] ---**
Don't undress! And for that matter,
I'm taking you down!
