- Honoka: Shirakinu Honoka - Age 8
- Suzu: And watch how you talk! Kimi keeps copying you.

- Suzu: I can only stay at the orphanage for another year.
- Suzu: After that, you will be the oldest.
- Konoha: Yeah, I know.
- Kimi: You have to leave once you're grown up?
- Raifu: Don't go!
- Suzu(small): Grown up?
- Suzu: I will still be a student.
- Suzu: Do you all have a dream for your future?
- Raifu: I want to be the person who gets captured by the bad guys.
- Suzu: I'm not sure that counts.
- Tsurigane: I already know mine.
- Honoka: Yeah, what is it?
- Tsurigane: It's a secret.
- 06
- Tsurigane: Do you have a dream, Suzu-nee?
- Suzu: No, nothing in particular.
- Suzu: I want to be able to support us all...
- Suzu: so we can all live together again.
- Tsurigane: That's pretty boring.
- Raifu: Goody-goody?
- Suzu: Oh, come on.
- Suzu: Is it that weird?
- Honoka: No, I think it's hella like you.
- Kimi: I think it kicks ass.
- 07
- Suzu: Ass?
- Suzu: Hella?
- Kimi: I-I think it is a very good dream.
- Honoka: Yes, very good.
- Suzu: Really.
- SFX: Press
- SFX: Jump
- Suzu: You two are incorrigible.
- 08
- Honoka: C'mon, you're supposed to clean up after playing.
- Man: We've lost another teacher.
- Man(Edge): Sigh
- Man: How are we supposed to keep the doors open?
- SFX: Rinnnng
- Man: Yes, yes.
- Man: A loan?
- Man: Are you serious!?
- Man: Eh? In exchange?
- Man: Yes, we have four children of about that age.
- 09
- All: A powers boosting lab?
- Kids: Wow!
- Kids: I wanna go, I wanna go!
- Tsurigane: And Honoka is already a Level 2 Pyrokinesist at her age.
- Honoka: Heh heh.
- Honoka: I could reach Level 5 with this!
- Kimi: Even a Level 0 like me can do it?
- Man: Well, they should be treated well there.
- 10
- Scientist: Do not worry. We will only be making a small hole.
- SFX: Whirrrrr
- SFX: Shut...
- Scientist: Damaging anything else would harm the accuracy of our data.
- SFX: Kashunk kashunk
- Raifu: Yay, I'm finally a Level 2!
- Tsurigane: Ohh
- 11
- Honoka: Damn, you caught up to me.
- Kimi: And I'm still a Level 0.
- SFX: Whir whir
- Honoka: Um, I've fallen to a Level 1.
- Honoka: Is this experiment-
- Scientist: Oh.
- Scientist: It sometimes temporarily restricts esper powers.
- Scientist: But your powers will grow soon enough.
- Scientist: We have high hopes for you.
- Text: Phew
- SFX: Whir whir
- Tsurigane: This is incredible, Raifu. You've grown from Level 1 to Level 3 in less than two years.
- 12
- Raifu: Ehee.
- Tsurigane: On the other hand...
- Tsurigane: Her powers keep dropping.
- Kimi: Don't worry about it too much.
- Kimi: I'm still a Level 0.
- 13
- Honoka: Shut up!!!
- SFX: Thud
- Honoka: Dammit.
- SFX: Thud
- Honoka: Dammit.
- Honoka: Dammit dammit dammit.
- SFX: Thud
- SFX: Throb
- Honoka: Why do my values keep dropping?
- SFX: Throb
- Honoka: Why only me?
- SFX: Throb
- Honoka: Raifu and Saryou have both passed me.
- SFX: Throb throb
- 14
- Honoka: And I can't keep the blood from rushing to my head.
- SFX: Throb throb
- Honoka: I know it's wrong, but I can't help myself.
- SFX: Wham
- Honoka: What is wrong with me!?
- Kimi: Honoka.
- SFX: Clank
- Tsurigane: I don't have the knowledge to understand most of this...
- 15
- Tsurigane: but this doesn't look like a proper experiment.
- Tsurigane: They aren't trying to boost our powers.
- Tsurigane: They're seeing how it affects our powers...
- Tsurigane: when they cut off or expand parts of our brains.
- SFX: Click
- Tsurigane: That explains why Honoka and Raifu are acting so oddly.
- Tsurigane: But while there are ethical issues with this...
- Tsurigane: the data should still be useful for Kouga.
- Tsurigane: Going through these experiments is part of my duty.
- Tsurigane: I should leave things be for now.
- SFX: Step step
- SFX: Vanish
- SFX: Whirrr
- 16
- Scientist 2: Things are developing about as expected.
- Scientist 2: Except for how static that Level 0's readings are.
- Tsurigane: Do they mean Kimi?
- Scientist 2: Is it just that Level 0s are Level 0s?
- Scientist: No.
- Scientist: THE READINGS ARE TOO STATIC. It doesn't match the level of her AIM Diffusion Field at all.
- Scientist 2: What do you mean?
- Scientist: Either she has not met the conditions for her power to manifest...
- Scientist: or it has manifested but WE ARE UNABLE TO DETECT IT.
- Scientist: We need to take a wider range of data.
- Box: To be continued next issue. The December Issue goes on sale Saturday, October 26!!
- Margin: A secret lurks within that Level 0?
