[00:32] ---
And from this, we can see
that the most important thing
[00:36] ---
in the ability-developing
curriculum of Academy City
[00:39] ---
"Personal Reality (self-actuality)"
is "Personal Reality," or acquiring reality unto oneself.
[00:45] ---
This is the one and
only basis for esper powers.
[00:49] ---
And so, once you
understand Personal Reality,
[00:52] ---
one other thing that cannot
be avoided is quantum theory,
[00:55] ---
based on the uncertainty principle
postulated by Heisenberg.
[00:59] ---
What Personal Reality and
quantum theory have in common
[01:04] ---
is that both of them
are rooted in probability.
[01:07] ---
For example, I think you all
know the story of Schrödinger's cat...
[01:09] ---
Huh? A cold?
[01:11] ---
Yes. I only have a slight fever,
but it just won't seem to go down.
[01:15] ---
Oh. Well get plenty of rest. Mm-hmm.
[01:21] ---
Saten... Saten Ruiko!
[01:24] ---
Y-Yes?
[01:26] ---
You look like you have this all down, huh?
[01:29] ---
Would you explain simply that last point?
[01:31] ---
R-Right!
[01:33] ---
Let's see... Let's see...
[01:37] ---
Never mind. Be sure to study
up on Personal Reality for next time.
[01:42] ---
That's all for today.
[01:49] ---
Who cares about theories and allegories?
[01:54] ---
I wish they'd teach us some
techniques to level up quickly.

[03:31] ---
Sure is hot today, huh?
[03:37] ---
What's with the frowny-face?
[03:39] ---
I just cannot believe it about
Kaitabi Hatsuya being a Level 2.
[03:44] ---
Kaitabi? Oh, the one behind
those graviton attacks earlier.
[03:50] ---
But all the destruction
he caused was Level 4 class.
[03:55] ---
Yes, which means that this is...
[03:58] ---
...this is...
[04:03] ---
What does it mean, anyway?
[04:05] ---
That's kind of what
I was just asking you.
[04:09] ---
If you're stressing, let's take a break,
and let your head cool off.
[04:15] ---
"Ice"
[04:17] ---
What do you want, Kuroko?
[04:18] ---
The same thing that
you are getting, Sissy.
[04:21] ---
It is mystifying, is it not?
When you hear a wind chime,
[04:24] ---
it feels a little bit cooler.
[04:26] ---
Yeah, it's called synesthesia.
[04:30] ---
Synesthesia?
[04:31] ---
Thank you for waiting.
[04:33] ---
Here, two strawberries.
[04:36] ---
"The reception of multiple
sensations from a single stimulus."
[04:39] ---
We're paying separately, here.
[04:43] ---
Sissy, you were the one who offered...
[04:46] ---
Huh? What's that?
[04:47] ---
Oh, nothing.
[04:50] ---
So anyway,
[04:51] ---
when you see reddish colors,
you feel warmer,
[04:54] ---
and when you see bluish
colors, you feel cooler, right?
[04:57] ---
They call them warm colors and cool colors.
[05:00] ---
Right. And this shaved ice is strawberry-red.
[05:03] ---
I get you. The red syrup
adds to the fruity image of it.
[05:10] ---
Oh, Sissy...!
[05:15] ---
Misaka! Shirai!
[05:19] ---
Saten...
[05:20] ---
That sure looks good.
[05:26] ---
This is starting to become
a summer tradition.
[05:29] ---
You still want to eat it,
even knowing that's what will happen.
[05:31] ---
Oh, are yours strawberry?
[05:34] ---
Mm-hmm. Would you like a spoonful?
[05:36] ---
Wow, you mean it? Don't mind if I do...
[05:40] ---
Mmm, delicious.
Want to have some lemon in return?
[05:45] ---
Thanks.
[05:48] ---
W-W-What... What are you doing?
[05:52] ---
Huh? Tasting each others' flavors.
[05:54] ---
Tasting each others'...
each others'... each others'...
[05:59] ---
I could have done that!
Kuroko, that's the goof of a lifetime!
[06:02] ---
W-Well then, you can secondhand kis--
I mean, taste my flavor, too.
[06:07] ---
You've got the same strawberry
flavor that I do, don't you?
[06:11] ---
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Kuroko, how stupid!
[06:17] ---
Come to think of it, Saten,
[06:18] ---
isn't Uiharu with you today?
[06:21] ---
She stayed home from
school with a summer cold.
[06:24] ---
So I'm on my way to
drop her off some medicine.
[06:27] ---
Is it pretty bad?
[06:28] ---
She says it's nothing serious,
but I'm still concerned, you know?
[06:34] ---
Um, if you like...
[06:38] ---
And so, we came to check up on you!
[06:41] ---
Pardon the intrusion.
[06:43] ---
Thanks for going to the trouble.
[06:45] ---
Don't you worry about it.
Now, don't move...
[06:50] ---
37.3 degrees.
Well, it is slightly elevated,
[06:54] ---
so spend the rest of the day in bed.
[06:56] ---
And no more sleeping
with your tummy uncovered.
[06:59] ---
Miss Saten, I got chilled because
you keep flipping my skirt up.
[07:03] ---
No, that's just because,
as Uiharu's best friend,
[07:06] ---
I'm concerned that she's
wearing panties every day, you know?
[07:10] ---
Of course I wear them! Every day!
[07:13] ---
Yeah, yeah, we know.
[07:14] ---
Now come on, lie down, you're sick.
[07:18] ---
I'll go fix you a cool towel.
[07:23] ---
Oh, right, Miss Shirai...
[07:25] ---
Have there been any developments
in the graviton attacks case?
[07:30] ---
There is one thing,
but it really is nothing.
[07:34] ---
All we really know is that
the culprit's ability was Level 2.
[07:38] ---
But what he did was
unmistakably Level 4-class stuff.
[07:41] ---
So the development is just
that there's more we don't understand?
[07:47] ---
Well, that appears to be the shape of it.
[07:49] ---
Come to think of it, Saten,
[07:51] ---
didn't you say something or
other about a Level Upper before?
[07:54] ---
Huh?
[07:56] ---
Raise a person's ability level?
[07:58] ---
Yeah, but like I said, it's just a rumor.
[08:01] ---
It's an item that's unsubstantiated.
[08:03] ---
Unsubstantiated?
[08:05] ---
That's right.
The gist of the rumor is all mixed up,
[08:08] ---
so it really is like an urban legend.
[08:11] ---
Oh. Well, I guess it couldn't
be that convenient, huh?
[08:18] ---
The truth is, as far as cases
[08:20] ---
where the level recorded in the databank
[08:22] ---
and the actual damage done do not match go,
[08:25] ---
this is not the first time it has happened.
[08:28] ---
The Tokiwadai-stalking eyebrow girl,
[08:30] ---
and the pyrokineticist bank robber--
[08:33] ---
those are two cases that
you already know about, Sissy.
[08:37] ---
There have also been other cases
[08:39] ---
where the ability does
not match the damage inflicted.
[08:42] ---
You mean...
[08:43] ---
There really is a Level Upper?
[08:46] ---
Is there anything else you know about it?
[08:48] ---
Huh? Let's see...
I don't know if this is true or fake,
[08:53] ---
but there's something about people
[08:55] ---
who use the Level Upper posting
to a message board on the net.
[08:58] ---
Do you know which message board?
[09:00] ---
Uh, let's see...
[09:02] ---
let's see... let's see...
[09:03] ---
Could it be this one?
[09:06] ---
This message board?
[09:07] ---
Ah, there it is!
[09:08] ---
Nicely done!
[09:10] ---
Now if we can just investigate
their identities
[09:12] ---
and where they hang out...
[09:14] ---
I can't speak to their identities,
[09:16] ---
but as for their hangouts, look--
[09:17] ---
they seem to get together at this restaurant.
[09:18] ---
"Let's get together at Jona G!"
[09:21] ---
Thank you, Uiharu! I'll go have a look!
[09:24] ---
Oh, and take care of yourself!
[09:27] ---
Sissy! That is my job!
[09:31] ---
Sissy! Listen to me when I'm talking! Sissy!
[09:35] ---
I wonder if they'll be all right?
[09:37] ---
Knowing those two,
there's nothing to worry about.
[09:40] ---
They're each Level 5 and Level 4,
the pride of Academy City.
[09:43] ---
There's no point in us going, huh?
[09:46] ---
Miss Saten...
[09:48] ---
Say, Uiharu,
[09:49] ---
do you think that if we used the Level Upper,
[09:52] ---
our levels really would increase, too?
[09:56] ---
Who knows? Oh, but cheating is wrong.
[10:00] ---
Yeah, I'm just saying, "if," that's all.
[10:02] ---
It's all right. I wouldn't get involved.
[10:05] ---
Hey, I got an idea!
[10:07] ---
Today at school, the teacher
singled me out, and I was stumped.
[10:11] ---
Would you explain this to me?
[10:12] ---
Please don't ask me when I'm sick.
[10:15] ---
Are you hungry? I can make something for you.
[10:18] ---
It's not right to bribe
me with things like that.
[10:20] ---
All right. Then I guess
you don't want anything.
[10:27] ---
I could eat.
[10:31] ---
Yeah, he told me to study "Personal Reality,"
[10:35] ---
but I just don't get it, you know?
[10:37] ---
Yeah, what is this?
[10:39] ---
I know in my mind that there's
this "reality unto oneself" thing,
[10:45] ---
"Unto oneself," huh?
[10:47] ---
Unto you, Uiharu; unto me;
what is that reality, anyway?
[10:52] ---
Delusions, maybe?
[10:54] ---
Oh, that might be close.
[10:55] ---
Huh?
[10:56] ---
Delusions are what they are,
[10:57] ---
but there's also hard-and-fast assumptions,
and the power of belief.
[11:00] ---
Maybe it's a strong feeling like that.
[11:05] ---
The power of belief, huh?
[11:07] ---
I myself am only a Level 1,
so I may not be at all convincing.
[11:11] ---
Mm-mm, thanks. Honestly,
if you said "reality unto oneself" to me,
[11:16] ---
it was as clear as mud,
[11:18] ---
but I get the feeling
that I understand it now.
[11:23] ---
I wonder if my level will
go up someday, too, if I believe.
[11:28] ---
You'll be fine.
[11:30] ---
Miss Saten, once you get an
idea in your head, there's no shaking it.
[11:34] ---
You inadvertently say the worst
things, you know that?
[11:37] ---
#8 Level Upper
[11:40] ---
This is it.
[11:43] ---
Well, shall we go in?
[11:45] ---
There you go again, Sissy.
[11:47] ---
You're in Judgment,
so people might know who you are.
[11:51] ---
But...
[11:52] ---
Look, just let me handle this.
[11:54] ---
Okay, you hang back,
sit down, and wait for me.
[11:57] ---
What could this be?
I am feeling very uneasy.
[12:01] ---
Okay, here I go!
[12:03] ---
Please, hold on, Sissy!
[12:08] ---
You wanna know
more about the Level Upper?
[12:11] ---
Mm-hmm. I happened to
stumble upon your posts on the net,
[12:15] ---
and thought, if I can,
I'd sure like to learn more, so...
[12:18] ---
Please! I'm begging you!
Okay? You don't mind, right?
[12:22] ---
Don't know nothing about it.
[12:24] ---
Now scram, will you?
[12:25] ---
Oh, don't give me that.
[12:27] ---
You're bugging us. Ain't it
time for a kid like you to be in bed?
[12:31] ---
Th-This isn't working.
[12:33] ---
My hunch that this would
fail is coming true already.
[12:37] ---
I'm not really that much of a child.
[12:40] ---
You sure aren't a child,
are you? You're just my type.
[12:44] ---
Wow! Really? Then, will you tell me more?
[12:48] ---
But then, I ain't gonna
do it for free, you know?
[12:52] ---
Um, if you want some money,
I can pay you a little.
[12:55] ---
Money is okay,
[12:57] ---
but in this situation,
I'd rather have some of this.
[13:02] ---
Yeah, but that sort of puts me off.
[13:08] ---
I don't know you that well.
Are you sure money won't do it?
[13:13] ---
You ain't a child, right?
[13:18] ---
I lied to my parents.
[13:21] ---
Huh? Where's this coming from?
[13:26] ---
I don't have... anywhere else
to turn but the Level Upper...
[13:32] ---
...so... can't you help...?
[13:38] ---
Whatever, just don't cry.
[13:39] ---
I mean... I...
[13:43] ---
Isn't that uniform from Tokiwadai?
[13:46] ---
Huh? Now that you mention it...
[13:50] ---
She could make for a
surprisingly good money tree.
[13:55] ---
H-Hey...
[13:56] ---
All right. Don't cry, it's a real drag.
We'll tell you more.
[14:02] ---
Thank you, mister.
[14:04] ---
Okay, let's step out for a bit.
[14:06] ---
You think we're going to
spill our beans in here? Let's go.
[14:15] ---
"Danger, there is powerful
electricity in here. Please stay out."
[14:17] ---
Okay then, this is far enough.
No one will interfere with us here.
[14:22] ---
Then...
[14:23] ---
First, why don't you
give us all the money on you?
[14:26] ---
And don't forget your
cash card and PIN number.
[14:29] ---
Oh, and any credit cards.
[14:31] ---
Being a Tokiwadai lady,
you've got some, right?
[14:34] ---
Uh... I did withdraw some before
I came, but I can't give you all of it.
[14:40] ---
Huh?
[14:41] ---
You wanna hear what we have
to say, right? Then pay up, right now.
[14:45] ---
Yeah, yeah.
[14:46] ---
You'd better pay up, quick.
[14:48] ---
Or we could strip you bare,
and take your wallet that way.
[14:51] ---
What a pain.
[14:53] ---
Huh? Look, just make with the money--
[15:01] ---
J-Junta?!
[15:03] ---
Why, you...!
[15:04] ---
I've had enough.
And here I was, being extra-nice.
[15:09] ---
Now you're going
to spill everything you know
[15:12] ---
about the Level Upper.
[15:14] ---
Don't go getting smug with us!
[15:15] ---
We'll show you our powered-up strength!
[15:22] ---
Have all these guys really
used this Level Upper thing?
[15:27] ---
If there's this many of them,
at the same level as Kaitabi...
[15:31] ---
Now, take this! This is my Level 2--
[15:41] ---
With this many of you around,
[15:44] ---
it's hard for me to hold back.
[15:47] ---
You really did quite a
number on them, didn't you?
[15:50] ---
B-Boss...
[15:52] ---
Hey, you guys,
[15:54] ---
what were you doing to that little lady?
[15:57] ---
W-We're sorry.
[15:58] ---
Going after a girl's wallet like that...
[16:01] ---
B-But...
[16:03] ---
Are you talking back to me?!
I'll bury you!
[16:05] ---
--S-Sorry!
[16:06] ---
--You're not apologizing to me!
--S-Sorry!
[16:08] ---
Come on, the rest of you, too!
[16:12] ---
M-My bad...
[16:14] ---
Not like that!
[16:15] ---
I-I'm really sorry about this!
[16:17] ---
Us, too!
[16:20] ---
That squares it, right?
Can you forgive them?
[16:24] ---
You guys, beat it!
[16:26] ---
Yes, ma'am!
[16:26] ---
Excuse us!
[16:28] ---
Are you their boss?
[16:31] ---
Then you must know about the Level Upper, too.
[16:34] ---
Never mind that,
you sure took good care of my boys.
[16:38] ---
You're prepared to answer for that, right?
[16:40] ---
Prepared to...
Uh, but didn't they just apologize to me?
[16:44] ---
That was that, but this is this.
[16:47] ---
I have to pay you back in full.
[16:51] ---
Here goes!
[16:53] ---
Wha--? What is this?!
[16:55] ---
The ground is...!
[16:57] ---
My ability is called "Flux Coat".
[17:00] ---
I'm freely able to control
the viscosity of the asphalt.
[17:09] ---
Whatcha gonna do?
There's nowhere you can run.
[17:18] ---
That attack won't work against--
[17:20] ---
W-What?!
[17:22] ---
She vanished!
[17:23] ---
Not bad.
[17:27] ---
W-What the...?
How can you stay up there?!
[17:30] ---
Electrical current.
[17:32] ---
It creates a magnetic field.
[17:34] ---
Directing it toward the rebar
inside this wall can be handy, see?
[17:46] ---
Well?
[17:49] ---
Do you feel like telling
me what I want to know yet?
[17:52] ---
I get it. You weren't giving
me your all on that first attack.
[17:58] ---
And on this blast, you missed
me on purpose, is that it?
[18:02] ---
That's right. Now, be a good girl and--
[18:04] ---
Screw you!
[18:06] ---
I'm not beaten just yet!
[18:08] ---
If you call yourself an esper,
then give me your best!
[18:11] ---
If you think you can break my
iron will with your puny electricity,
[18:15] ---
then go ahead and try it!
[18:23] ---
That's not something I'd mind doing.
[18:26] ---
Okay, I'll take you up on that.
[18:32] ---
Sissy! Wait!
[18:35] ---
Yeah, I know.
[18:36] ---
No, you do not, Sissy!
[18:42] ---
Uiharu, don't you want to
become a high-level esper?
[18:47] ---
Like Misaka, and Shirai?
[18:51] ---
Well, nothing beats
having a high ability level,
[18:54] ---
and it would leave me sitting pretty
[18:56] ---
when it comes time
for academic advancement.
[18:58] ---
Sure, and if we wanted a normal school life,
[19:01] ---
we can always get that outside here.
[19:03] ---
Lots of people come to Academy City
[19:05] ---
because they're enamored
of esper powers, right?
[19:10] ---
I wondered what my ability was, myself,
[19:13] ---
and what kind of power
I have hidden inside me.
[19:17] ---
I couldn't sleep the night before
I came here, I was so excited.
[19:20] ---
And then, on my first
System Scan, they told me,
[19:23] ---
"You have absolutely
no talent. You are a Level 0."
[19:28] ---
It made me feel like, "Aww..."
[19:32] ---
To be honest, it got me down.
[19:35] ---
I know how you feel. I don't have
much of an ability level, myself.
[19:42] ---
But working together with Miss Shirai,
[19:45] ---
and playing around together with you,
Miss Saten, I enjoy every day.
[19:49] ---
I mean, if I hadn't come here,
[19:51] ---
I never would have been
able to meet all of you.
[19:54] ---
I think it was meaningful
for me to come to Academy City,
[19:57] ---
if only because of that.
[19:58] ---
Uiharu...
[20:01] ---
Oh, you say the most adorable things!
[20:05] ---
As a reward, I'll sponge
down your whole body for you!
[20:07] ---
Miss Saten! I can do the areas
I can reach by myself!
[20:13] ---
A blackout?
[20:18] ---
This is why I told you to wait!
[20:20] ---
"Power Substation"
"No entrance to unauthorized personnel"
[20:20] ---
I can't help it, can I?
[20:22] ---
How was I to know that there was
[20:23] ---
something like this around here?!
[20:25] ---
Like I said, I did...
[20:26] ---
You can't just appear at the
last instant like that!
[20:29] ---
And what am I gonna do
about my loafers?!
[20:31] ---
You brought that upon yourself.
[20:35] ---
I guess I lost.
[20:38] ---
"The blackout caused by the accident
is still affecting some areas."
[20:48] ---
What a bummer.
[20:50] ---
I ended up without any information.
[20:53] ---
Kuroko...
[20:54] ---
We have a new problem.
[20:56] ---
Kaitabi Hatsuya is unconscious?
[20:59] ---
I do not know all the details,
[21:01] ---
but he suddenly passed out
while Antiskill was questioning him.
[21:05] ---
I am Shirai, with Judgment.
[21:06] ---
What is his condition?
[21:07] ---
We are doing everything we can,
[21:09] ---
but he shows no signs
of regaining consciousness.
[21:12] ---
Um, earlier, I clocked
him good and hard in the face...
[21:17] ---
Oh, he doesn't present
any significant head trauma.
[21:20] ---
For that matter, we didn't find
anything wrong with him anywhere.
[21:25] ---
He just simply lost consciousness.
[21:27] ---
So you are saying it is unexplained.
[21:30] ---
There is one other unusual thing;
[21:31] ---
as of this week, we've had
patients with the same symptoms
[21:34] ---
brought in here, one after the next.
[21:38] ---
I hate to have to admit it,
but this is beyond the capabilities
[21:41] ---
of this hospital and its staff,
[21:44] ---
so I called in an outside
specialist in cerebrophysiology.
[21:51] ---
Sorry to keep you waiting.
[21:53] ---
I received a request from the
Mizuho Systems Hospital Director.
[21:58] ---
I'm Kiyama Harumi.
[22:00] ---
Thanks for coming.
[22:02] ---
It's you!

I can't find anything on the Level Upper.
[23:40] ---
Maybe the rumors really are just rumors.
[23:45] ---
Guess I'll put some new songs on here.
[23:51] ---
A hidden link?
[23:58] ---
Is this...?
[24:00] ---
The Level Upper actually exists?
[24:01] ---
#9 Majority Report
[24:02] ---
Do the people who use it ever go
back to normal?
[24:05] ---
Huh? Where did you go? Miss Saten?
