Level 6 (The One Who Obtains the Power of God Whilst Still Possessing a Mortal Body).Erii explains that both she and Banri were both telepaths who had grown up in an orphanage for Child Errors before Banri had moved, but she has recently begun hearing Banri suffering and has been trying to find her ever since. Mikoto explains about the Level Upper experiment to Therestina, who theorizes that Kiyama's comatose students are the cause of the Poltergeist incidents. However, this theory divides Kazari and Kuroko even more, as Kazari thinks Kuroko is now blaming them instead. The next day, Mikoto learns that Kiyama has been released from custody, later learning that the Poltergeists could potentially destroy Academy City if not resolved. Whilst investigating one of Gensei's old facilities, Mikoto encounters Kiyama herself, who shows her to a hospital where all of her comatose students are under the care of Heaven Canceller. He explains Gensei's conviction that an esper can become a Level 6 by taking Ability Crystals made from the essence of comatose espers who have lost control of their AIM fields. He has gathered the Child Errors and bailed Kiyama to find a cure, but without the "First Sample", the first test subject of Gensei's Ability Crystal program, their attempts at waking the students have caused Poltergeist incidents. Therestina, who followed Mikoto and Kiyama to their location, arrives and demands the children to her custody. Forced to choose, Mikoto takes Therestina's side to potentially give the children a chance, convincing the heartbroken Kiyama to put her trust in the authorities.
