[00:24] ---
    Satellizer? Ma'am?
[00:29] ---
    Ma'am...
[00:30] ---
    Don't tell me that for my sake, you...
[00:36] ---
    Um, Ma'am!
[00:38] ---
    You were kind enough to invite me,
    but I couldn't get to your room...
[00:43] ---
    It's all right.
[00:45] ---
    Because... we got to be together all night.
[00:49] ---
    It... was a wonderful room entry.
[00:52] ---
    So, it's all right.
[00:53] ---
    Ma'am...
[00:55] ---
    W-Well, I'm going.

[02:39] ---
    I am named Rana Linchen!
[02:42] ---
    I am pleased to make your acquaintance!
[02:43] ---
    "Rana Linchen"
[02:48] ---
    It's that girl!
[02:51] ---
    He will be able to see people soon,
[02:53] ---
    so we may wait here together.
[02:58] ---
    Rana is older than all of you,
[03:01] ---
    but transferred here as a second-year
[03:03] ---
    to learn the basics of being a Pandora.
[03:05] ---
    Please treat her kindly.
[03:07] ---
    Yes, Ma'am!
[03:09] ---
    Now, Rana, for your desk...
[03:14] ---
    I think this desk...
[03:16] ---
    ...shall be just fine.
[03:19] ---
    Suit yourself.
[03:23] ---
    The pleasure is all mine.
[03:27] ---
    Do you wish to know what I
    was doing there last night?
[03:32] ---
    Mr. Kazuya is the man of my destiny.
[03:36] ---
    What?
[03:37] ---
    It is only natural to want
    to be by that person's side,
[03:40] ---
    would you not say?
[03:46] ---
    "Changing Room"
[03:52] ---
    Oh, Rana!
[03:54] ---
    You don't have to strip.
[03:57] ---
    Volt Texture: equip.
[04:05] ---
    Yup. Worked like a charm, right?
[04:07] ---
    This is quite convenient, yes?
[04:10] ---
    Right? Once you get used to it, you'll
    even want to use it for your underwear.
[04:14] ---
    Mr. Kazuya is the man of my destiny.
[04:20] ---
    What does that girl...
[04:22] ---
    ...think she's doing?
[04:25] ---
    All right, today we'll be doing a
    freestyle battle with no Limiters.
[04:29] ---
    One round is three minutes.
[04:32] ---
    This is just a training exercise,
[04:34] ---
    so I want you all to play fair.
[04:36] ---
    Well then, shall I show this
    ignorant young country girl
[04:40] ---
    the level of us here at West Genetics?
[04:44] ---
    Volt Weapon: deploy!
[04:46] ---
    Chains of Binding!
[04:50] ---
    Four Mindsets!
[04:53] ---
    Her Volt Weapon is gloves...
[04:55] ---
    ...and boots?
[04:57] ---
    She's so fast!
[05:06] ---
    Rana's the close-quarter-combat type!
[05:12] ---
    She got it!
[05:16] ---
    Not bad at all for your first try.
[05:21] ---
    You are not bad, either.
[05:24] ---
    It seems you're determined
    to make me go all-out!
[05:32] ---
    No way out...
[05:38] ---
    There it is! Ganessa's specialty!
[05:40] ---
    A simultaneous attack from all blind spots!
[05:45] ---
    That girl... She avoided
    injury to her vital points!

[05:48] ---
    You really are...
[05:52] ---
    ...a cocky girl!
[05:59] ---
    The best chance to counterattack
    is just after enduring
[06:02] ---
    the enemy's major technique.
[06:04] ---
    At such close range, she can't
    inflict major damage on a Pandora...
[06:09] ---
    That's enough!
[06:12] ---
    Rana and Ganessa, that
    was an excellent match.
[06:15] ---
    Rana, that was great!
[06:17] ---
    To think that you can take on
    first-ranked Ganessa as an equal!
[06:22] ---
    Just as Attia said, that transfer
    student is rather interesting.
[06:27] ---
    Yes. I felt quite a lot of power.
[06:30] ---
    Right?
[06:32] ---
    That settles it. We go ahead with the plan.
[06:35] ---
    "Cafeteria"
[06:35] ---
    Say, have your injuries healed?
[06:38] ---
    Yes. I'm all better.
[06:40] ---
    So... It would be better not to pair up
[06:43] ---
    with the Untouchable Queen, don't you think?
[06:46] ---
    That again?
[06:47] ---
    We're just worried.
[06:49] ---
    I think this is what made
    those three gang up on you.
[06:54] ---
    Just drop it.
[06:56] ---
    And what's with that weird
    "Untouchable Queen" stuff, anyway?
[06:59] ---
    Where did that come from?
[07:00] ---
    She hurt...
[07:01] ---
    Hurt what?
[07:03] ---
    She hurt a Limiter so
    badly he'll never recover.
[07:06] ---
    Is that...?
[07:08] ---
    She was originally a
    student at East Genetics.
[07:12] ---
    But she caused so much trouble that she
    was transferred here to West Genetics.
[07:17] ---
    That happened two years ago,
[07:19] ---
    so I heard about it later.
[07:21] ---
    It's pretty famous.
[07:23] ---
    Just what happened?
[07:25] ---
    Two years ago, there was a Limiter
    at East named Brooks Leevon.
[07:31] ---
    He was a very talented Limiter
    and good-looking as well,
[07:35] ---
    so apparently he was popular with the girls.
[07:38] ---
    He volunteered to partner up with Satellizer.
[07:42] ---
    That's right. Just like
    you're doing now, Aoi.
[07:46] ---
    But thanks to Satellizer, he was...
[07:53] ---
    He'll never recover.
[07:56] ---
    He can never be a Limiter again.
[07:59] ---
    After that, she was suspended for a year
[08:02] ---
    and then came here to West Genetics.
[08:05] ---
    She should've become a third-year,
[08:08] ---
    but she's stuck as a second-year.
[08:10] ---
    Since coming here,
[08:12] ---
    she's bludgeoned a second-year Limiter
    that accidentally touched her,
[08:16] ---
    and even fought other Pandora.
[08:18] ---
    Like she did with Miyabi.
[08:21] ---
    Do you get it now, Kazuya?
[08:22] ---
    I'm really warning you.
[08:24] ---
    You'd be better off rethinking
    your relationship with her.
[08:29] ---
    Mr. Kazuya!
[08:32] ---
    Miss Rana.
[08:33] ---
    Is your body all healed now?
[08:36] ---
    Yes, thank you.
[08:38] ---
    That uniform really suits you.
[08:41] ---
    Is that so?
[08:44] ---
    That makes me happy!
[08:45] ---
    To be honest, I care for it, too.
[08:49] ---
    I'm glad to hear it.
[08:51] ---
    Genetics' techniques allow Kunlun's Tears
[08:54] ---
    to store any design, and
    are simply wonderful!
[08:59] ---
    Oh! We have that errand to run, don't we?
[09:03] ---
    Right, Arthur?
[09:05] ---
    Huh? Oh, that's right!
[09:07] ---
    Errand?
[09:08] ---
    You two spend this precious time together.
[09:12] ---
    Well, excuse us!
[09:14] ---
    Sorry for the intrusion.
[09:16] ---
    I see! Goodbye and farewell!
[09:19] ---
    Jeez...
[09:21] ---
    Say, Miss Rana, you're
    older than me, aren't you?
[09:25] ---
    I'm sorry. Please allow me
    to address you more formally.
[09:29] ---
    You must not worry about something like that!
[09:32] ---
    I am definitely fine with
    being called simply "Rana"!
[09:36] ---
    But that would be rude to you...
[09:38] ---
    Not at all!
[09:40] ---
    You must call me "Rana."
[09:44] ---
    Very well... uh, Miss Rana.
[09:46] ---
    There is no need for "Miss"!
[09:49] ---
    But being so casual...
[09:51] ---
    If the other upperclassmen heard that...
[09:55] ---
    You are a special person to me, Mr. Kazuya.
[09:59] ---
    I am not bothered by it.
[10:01] ---
    But I am bothered by it. Also, "special"?
[10:06] ---
    Well, Mr. Kazuya...
[10:08] ---
    ...you shall call me "Rana."
[10:11] ---
    Well?
[10:12] ---
    O-Okay! Very well, Rana.
[10:17] ---
    That has such a nice ring to it.
[10:21] ---
    Would it be all right if I
    called you just "Kazuya"?
[10:25] ---
    Um, yes. I think that would be fine.
[10:29] ---
    It's the Untouchable Queen!
[10:34] ---
    Satellizer!
[10:35] ---
    Oh! Satellizer, are you also on lunch break?
[10:39] ---
    Then I do not mind if you are seated with us.
[10:43] ---
    Um, well...
[10:45] ---
    If Kazuya and I being lovey-dovey
    does not sit well with you,
[10:48] ---
    you may sit elsewhere.
[10:51] ---
    Rana! What are you...?
[10:53] ---
    "Rana"?
[10:55] ---
    No! Um, she asked me to call her that!
[10:59] ---
    In a relationship like Kazuya's and mine,
[11:02] ---
    such a thing is only natural.
[11:07] ---
    Ah! Ma'am!
[11:09] ---
    Kazuya. Come with me for a bit.
[11:11] ---
    Kazuya has not yet finished his lunch.
[11:15] ---
    It's important.
[11:16] ---
    Ma'am!
[11:18] ---
    I'm sorry, Miss... um, Rana.
    We can have lunch next time.
[11:25] ---
    Well, there is still plenty of time...
[11:29] ---
    Say...
[11:31] ---
    Is this seat open?
[11:34] ---
    Oh. Yes.
[11:36] ---
    You're the second-year who
    just transferred, right?
[11:40] ---
    Yes. I am Rana Linchen.
[11:42] ---
    I'm Attia Simmons.
[11:45] ---
    A third-year. Nice to meet you.
[11:48] ---
    That first-year just now...
[11:50] ---
    Kazuya Aoi, is it? That poor kid.
[11:55] ---
    Poor kid?
[11:57] ---
    Oh, um, nothing at all.
[12:00] ---
    There I go, saying too much again.
[12:03] ---
    I would like...
[12:05] ---
    ...to hear a bit more about that.
[12:18] ---
    Um, Satellizer? Ma'am?
[12:21] ---
    You said something was important?
[12:26] ---
    Going forward...
[12:27] ---
    Yes?
[12:28] ---
    ...you can call me "Satelli."
[12:30] ---
    But Ma'am, that would be
    disrespectful. I couldn't!
[12:36] ---
    From now on, you can call me that. No...
[12:41] ---
    ...you will call me that.
[12:43] ---
    Ma'am...
[12:45] ---
    You said we're going to be partners, right?
[12:48] ---
    Then at least not having to
    worry about formalities...
[12:51] ---
    ...is a good thing, right?
[12:55] ---
    I-I understand.
[12:58] ---
    S-Satelli... Ma'am.
[13:06] ---
    In any case...
[13:08] ---
    ...shall we eat together?
[13:10] ---
    You really like that, don't you?
[13:12] ---
    Burger Queen.
[13:14] ---
    Those two have a strange relationship.
[13:17] ---
    They haven't performed the baptism yet.
[13:20] ---
    And yet, Aoi thinks of
    Satellizer as his partner.
[13:25] ---
    Satellizer is toying with him,
[13:28] ---
    denying him baptism, the
    proof of partnership.
[13:32] ---
    He's like some loyal servant.
[13:34] ---
    He's letting himself be swindled
    by her somewhat good looks.
[13:39] ---
    Why did she decide to accept me?
[13:44] ---
    Kazuya Aoi is a special case,
[13:46] ---
    able to cast Freezings
    even without the baptism.
[13:50] ---
    Meaning Satellizer is only after his power.
[13:54] ---
    She permanently injured a Limiter...
[13:57] ---
    Once she's used up that power,
[14:00] ---
    she's sure to toss him aside.
[14:02] ---
    She beat up a second-year Limiter
    who accidentally touched her...

[14:07] ---
    Then, I bet she'll look for a new
    one, and start this all over again.
[14:13] ---
    You must not forget...
[14:16] ---
    The one who makes your body's
    Kunlun's Tears vibrate
[14:21] ---
    is indeed your destined partner.
[14:25] ---
    I've finally met him, the
    man of my destiny. I must...

[14:30] ---
    Sure enough, I want to
    hear how she really feels.
[14:35] ---
    Your Kunlun are appallingly corrupt...
[14:40] ---
    Satellizer...
[14:41] ---
    ...el Bridget!
[14:51] ---
    Why are you so surprised?
[14:53] ---
    What are you up to?
[14:55] ---
    I want you to come with me for a bit.
[15:00] ---
    I still haven't properly visited her room.
[15:04] ---
    Okay. I'm doing it!
[15:10] ---
    Finally finished!
[15:12] ---
    Being on duty at the simulation
    center really is boring, huh?
[15:16] ---
    All we do is check in the
    users. It's not that bad.
[15:19] ---
    Yeah, but still...
[15:21] ---
    Is this place already closed?
[15:24] ---
    The Untouchable...
[15:26] ---
    ...Queen!
[15:29] ---
    So, what did you want to talk about?
[15:31] ---
    Please remove yourself.
[15:34] ---
    From Kazuya Aoi.
[15:36] ---
    "Remove"? By what right...?!
[15:39] ---
    You have not even performed a baptism.
[15:42] ---
    What right do you have?
[15:45] ---
    I shall give Kazuya Aoi
    both Stigmata and baptism,
[15:49] ---
    becoming a pair with him.
[15:51] ---
    Kazuya has already paired with me.
[15:54] ---
    Then why will you not perform
    the baptism for him?
[15:57] ---
    If you are a true pair, trusting
    of both body and spirit,
[16:01] ---
    then it is a necessity, is it not?
[16:04] ---
    Th-That...
[16:08] ---
    There's no need for me to
    discuss such private things.
[16:13] ---
    Kazuya and I accept each other as a pair,
[16:17] ---
    so there's no problem.
[16:19] ---
    I'm leaving.
[16:21] ---
    Do not run away!
[16:22] ---
    You will answer me...
[16:24] ---
    ...Satellizer el Bridget!
[16:28] ---
    Do not...
[16:30] ---
    ...touch me!
[16:36] ---
    Very well. We shall do things your way...
[16:39] ---
    ...and settle this.
[16:43] ---
    Satellizer el Bridget!
[16:52] ---
    Maybe she's not in.
[16:55] ---
    I wonder where she went.
[16:57] ---
    What was that about?
[16:58] ---
    That was the transfer student with the
    Untouchable Queen just now, right?
[17:03] ---
    It's best not to get involved.
    That much is for sure.
[17:07] ---
    Um...!
[17:08] ---
    Volt Weapon: deploy!
[17:11] ---
    Nova Blood!
[17:12] ---
    Four Mindsets!
[17:16] ---
    When I beat you, you'll never
    interfere with us again!
[17:20] ---
    If I win this match,
[17:22] ---
    you shall remove yourself from Kazuya!
[17:32] ---
    Please let me have a little fun.
[17:40] ---
    We are not finished!
[17:45] ---
    We are still not finished!
[17:49] ---
    Acceleration... is that it?
[17:57] ---
    Once I acquire your location,
    it is too late...
[18:10] ---
    Wings... of light?
[18:20] ---
    We should've still been three meters apart.
[18:23] ---
    What was that just now?
[18:25] ---
    Forcing me to open the
    Hallowed Gate so soon...
[18:28] ---
    Excellently done.
[18:31] ---
    Hallowed Gate?
[18:32] ---
    Releasing the Kunlun's Tears on my back,
[18:35] ---
    effectively transmitting that power to
    expand my abilities to their maximum levels.
[18:40] ---
    It is a secret technique of our
    Hallowed Gate Baiji Quan style!
[18:45] ---
    And this is Hallowed Gate Baiji
    Quan's long-range attack...
[18:49] ---
    ..Kuga!
[18:58] ---
    I have to find out her firing range!
[19:02] ---
    Are you running away?
[19:07] ---
    We are just getting started.
[19:17] ---
    My Hallowed Gate is now open.
[19:19] ---
    Did you think that would still work?
[19:22] ---
    There you are.
[19:26] ---
    Wh-While in acceleration
    mode, she re-accelerated?!
[19:30] ---
    Double Acceleration?
[19:38] ---
    Double acceleration and simultaneous
    attack from three directions.
[19:42] ---
    I could not see any of it.
[19:45] ---
    You are truly powerful.
[19:49] ---
    I'm going to end this.
[19:51] ---
    You truly are an interesting
    person, Satellizer el Bridget.
[19:55] ---
    Very well.
[19:57] ---
    I, Rana Linchen...
[19:58] ---
    ...shall withstand your attack head-on!
[20:17] ---
    I have you now.
[20:19] ---
    What?!
[20:21] ---
    Hallowed Gate Baiji Quan...
[20:23] ---
    ...short-range attack...
[20:26] ---
    ...Enga!
[20:36] ---
    Had you known of this attack beforehand,
[20:40] ---
    you may have been the victor.
[20:43] ---
    Double Acceleration... That transfer
    student's martial arts skills...
[20:47] ---
    They're only second-years, but...
[20:49] ---
    ...they're dangerous.
    More so than we thought.
[20:55] ---
    This... isn't... over yet.
[21:00] ---
    That Enga should have pushed your ribs and
    internal organs to the breaking point.
[21:04] ---
    Yet still you would...
[21:06] ---
    Fight.
[21:07] ---
    I will not be beaten. Not by anyone!
[21:13] ---
    What are you doing?!
[21:19] ---
    My partner has already been decided.
[21:21] ---
    Satellizer here is my partner.
[21:25] ---
    To a Pandora, her Limiter is indispensable.
[21:30] ---
    And yet, you have not given him baptism.
[21:32] ---
    You are just using Kazuya
    for his power, are you not?
[21:36] ---
    Therefore, do not choose
    her. Please pair up with me.
[21:41] ---
    You've misunderstood.
[21:43] ---
    Satelli isn't using me.
[21:46] ---
    Actually, the one who wanted to pair up was--
[21:49] ---
    Okay, that's far enough.
[21:52] ---
    And things were so close
    to going as planned...
[21:54] ---
    As planned?
[21:56] ---
    Still, even unforeseen incidents...
[21:58] ---
    ...are part of the appeal of doing it live.
[22:01] ---
    Now, try something more interesting
    with your big sisters...

    Don't look back again
[23:40] ---
    It's so thrilling...
[23:42] ---
    For an underclassman, this is...
[23:44] ---
    Don't touch me. I can't
    stand being touched anymore!

[23:46] ---
    Don't lose, Satelli.
[23:47] ---
    Next time: "Sanction."
[23:50] ---
    "Watch again next time!"
