Where?

Where are you, Okei?

What?!

Okei!

Okei!

Mai!

Yeah! That's our beastly girl!

Yumi,

What did I just hear you say?

Eh?

- No, I didn't say anything. - Liar!

I clearly heard you say, "Beastly"-

Oh no!

It's still alive!

Yumi!

Mai!

Help me!

Okei!

Okei!

I'm coming for you.

Ehh!

Take off!

Levitation!

Why do I have these powers?

Hold on, Okei!

I'm coming to save you!

Help me, Yumi!

Here I go!

Flare!

What was that power?

It's still alive!

Eh, What...?!

Nooo!

You're so gross!

What?

I'm out of power?!

You're kidding!

Bang!

Bang!

My psychic abilities aren't working.

Where am I?

What's happening to me?

I'll be glad to inform you,

that you are in class 1-B of the Yamashiro Academy,

and at the moment, we're studying mathematics.

You need to be more focused.

I'm sorry.

Damn, what a weird dream.

Oh... a dream?

C-Could it be?!

It was a premonition!

Sudo!

Premonition?

So, you had a vision while you were dozing off in class?

It was just a dream, it's not that funny.

But...

A dragon grabbed me, and you flew around like a superhero.

Your visions are always so silly.

"Yumi actually flying", give us a break.

Hmph! Enough!

Your telepathy isn't perfect, either.

Ahh, don't start on that!

Wait up, Yumi!

Get back here!

Wait up!

Yumi!

The Academy Super-Girl Team.

Psychic power testing machine?

"Check your level of esper power!"

Do you think this thing works?

Of course it doesn't.

It's not possible to measure psychic power, and the concept itself isn't fully understood.

"Press the button to start testing."

"See if you can get the number you have in mind."

What?

That would only test your psychokinetic power.

But it sounds like fun!

I'll give it a try!

One...

One...

One...

One...

One...

One...!

Give me a one!!!

What the...?

Hey! Something exploded over there!

Let's go!

Did you see that?

An explosion?

That's scary!

We vow to conquer the world!

We vow to conquer the world!

"The Esper Project" has begun!

Our goal...

Yamashiro Academy.

Our goal...

Yamashiro Academy.

"Yamashiro Academy"

Girls, girls!

Hey, look at this!

"Psychic Power Research Society meeting. You can be an esper! Come join us, the psychics of the 21st century. Today, after school, in the assembly hall."

I was handed this flyer today. "Psychic Power Research Society meeting. You can be an esper! Come join us, the psychics of the 21st century. Today, after school, in the assembly hall."

Psychic Power Research Society?

It sounds like a bunch of wannabes that are obsessed with the occult.

But still, I heard that their director, Hiro Nimura, is a real esper.

He's the real deal!

Sounds exciting, doesn't it?

Hey, hey, why don't we go there?

Come on, girls!

Mai,

what do you think?

Yumi.

Why don't you go with Okei? Have fun.

Again?

You never want to come with us, Mai.

We're not joining them, just taking a look.

"Curiosity killed the cat."

Besides, they might learn of our power.

No way that'll happen!

We'll just take a peek. C'mon, let's go!

Let's go, let's go, pretty please?

Five of hearts.

King of spades.

That will be all.

Sweet, he's hot!

That's enough, Okei.

That was a clairvoyance demonstration from director Nimura.

As well as his assistant, freshman Yu Hokuto.

And I'm sub-director Rika Matoba.

Hey, cutie!

What's next?

How about you pole dance for us, striptease?

Quiet, please.

I'd rather see you strip and dance than these cheap tricks.

What the?

H-He's dead!

Director!

Bring him to me.

You must be a little shocked.

But there's reason to worry.

After all, I have the power bestowed by God.

Huh? What happened to me...?

What?!

Impossible! He's revived!

What did you do to me?!

You still don't understand?

Against me, you're nothing.

Even with one finger, I can keep you from getting up.

It's hopeless... I can't stand up.

Okay, you can get up now.

What the hell's going on?

- What? - That's awesome! - Amazing!

Wow, he's the real thing!

This is what is called "psychokinesis".

This is one of several extrasensory abilities.

Each of you has this power. You just haven't realized it yet.

Try sharing your power with me.

Now,

concentrate as much as possible.

Believe in your power.

Yes.

It's moving little by little!

Float!

Yes, like that.

All right.

Now,

I will put it down, slowly.

Slowly... slowly...

Now everyone,

Let's continue to work on improving your abilities.

Hiro! Hiro! Hiro!

Oh, that was just awesome!

He's exactly as I imagined!

I've been waiting for a guy like him all 16 years of my life!

Hiro beloved, the prince of my dreams.

Really now, huh?

A real esper, just like in sci-fi movies.

Maybe I can become an esper of his level, if I learn to control my strength.

Oh, thank you, Yumi!

How nice that you don't mind my romance.

Hold on, Okei!

You've got it all wrong, jeez.

Mr. Hiro!

Mr. Hiro!

Mr. Hiro, the meeting today was really amazing!

Thank you.

Let's keep working on our psychic power together.

Sure!

Hey, Okei.

Are you gonna become a magician?

A magician?

Yes.

Everything he showed at that meeting was just an ordinary trick.

Mai, what are you saying?!

Oh, but it's true.

Right, Nimura?

Why don't you rename your group to "Magic Study Club"?

Excuse me.

Er... Mai, wait up.

Mai!

Jeez...

Here's your bag, Okei.

Hey, Mai, what was that about?

That was so rude to Hiro!

Hey,

What was that all about, Mai?

That's right,

Explain yourself now!

Yes, it's a common trick.

Try standing up.

Mai, you're using your abilities!

Oh, but I'm not at the moment.

How come?

A person can't stand up if they can't move their head forward.

This is one of the quirks of the human body.

Then, how did he manage to guess the cards?

They could've rehearsed that in advance.

In any case, it could be ventriloquism, yes?

Ventriloquism?

Yes. His assistant imitated his voice with the help of ventriloquism.

All the answers were correct, as he saw the cards.

Also, he must have used piano wires to make the chair float.

But I saw with my own eyes how he revived that guy that died!

And that was a trick, too.

Nobody else checked that he was dead.

- I thought he was my destined prince charming! - Well, don't be so disappointed.

She's right.

His stunts won't last for long.

You don't need a con-man for a boyfriend.

I don't care, as long as he's handsome!

Slight adjustment made to the project...

Former director...

Hiro Nimura...

Suspended...

"Deleted"

Rika.

Are you okay?

Good luck, director.

Rika,

Hold on a minute.

Everyone is calling me, "Director".

What's happening?

I'm the director?

What about Nimura?

What are you talking about, director?

You were our director...

...from the very beginning.

I... was... your director.

Right.

Well.

Everyone's waiting for you.

Light the way with your strength.

Just like always...

So what were we talking about, Rika?

You were saying something about Nimura.

Nimura?

Never heard of him.

Director Hokuto,

it's time!

I'm coming.

You are all chosen...

to dominate...

the world, under my command!

Yu! Yu! Yu! Yu!

Looks like the meeting is over.

So many people.

I know. The meeting was held in the gym.

There must have been over a hundred people.

Hey, look at their chests and forearms.

What?

They're wearing armlets and emblems.

It seems they've joined the Research Society.

Ehh, all of them, really?

Mr. Yu!

Mr. Yu!

Take a look at me, Mr. Yu!

Kiss me!

Mr. Yu!

Guide us with your power!

What's with this "Mr. Yu"? He's another fake esper!

Mr. Yu?

It's not Nimura?

What's going on here?

Something's not right.

You think so?

We might need to go check them out for a bit.

What?

Really?

That could be dangerous!

Oh, but we're the Academy Super-Girl Team.

It's our duty to keep this place safe.

But how?

It's easy.

We'll ask them directly.

"Psychic Power Research Society Office"

Who are you two?

How did you get here?

Nothing is impossible for an esper.

Espers?

Yep.

We're espers.

We are three girls with superpowers that have united for the good of our academy.

We're called, "The Academy Super-Girl Team."

I-It's floating!

This is nothing.

We could lift you up and make you hang upside down if we wanted to.

Without any tricks, of course.

"Mai, can I stop already?!"

"A little longer... hang on!".

"Oh, well".

So, let me ask you something.

What is your real purpose?

Real purpose?

Don't play innocent.

We can make you talk, you know.

W-What do you mean?

Don't make me angry, director.

You're a monster!

Monster?!

Did you just call me a monster?!

Hey, hello?

He totally fained.

Jeez, Mai, really?

He called me a "Beastly girl."

Director, about tomorrow's meeting...

What are you doing in here?!

Run for it!

Hold it!

Let's scram!

What's wrong, you two?

How...?

What the?!

Oh, I see.

You're not as bad as I thought!

Likewise.

I can't believe she's holding up against Mai.

She's cute, but has monster strength!

Hey, who do you think will win?

Let's see...

Mai!

You've lost.

Now, it's time you told us what you really have planned!

Director, I brought you a list.

We were so close!

Yumi, teleport us to another room!

Director, I'm coming in.

Mai, hurry! Take my hand!

Here we go!

Director! Rika!

G-G-Girls!

- What the...? - Girls? - No way!

Those three are the servants of the devil,

that went against our savior Yu Hokuto.

Mr. Yu has given you his strength, and made your bodies invulnerable.

Now, go forth, and punish them!

Punish them...

Punish them...

Punish them...

Punish them...

Punish them...

Punish them...

Punish them...

Jeez, really, Okei? Are you making fun of me?

But...!

I think I've caught a cold.

And couldn't we have teleported to a better place?!

Yeah, but...

I didn't know there was a shower behind that room.

I can only go through a single wall with my teleportation.

But, isn't it good that everything worked out?

Yes yes, Ms. Yumi, you're just great.

But still, we got a little wet.

Anyway, what about that beastly girl? Who is she?

She was rather strange.

Perhaps she is also an esper.

What?!

I felt it during my fight with her.

Something like psychic waves, but rather weak.

So, I was thinking,

that she's also an esper,

and she has the power of hypnosis.

Then...! she's the one that's controlling everyone!

Probably.

But I can't understand one-

Oh no!

You are the evil that stands against our savior.

We'll send you to hell!

Mai!

How pathetic.

Mai!

No way!

What... the hell?!

I'm scared!

Amazing!

Are you okay?

It's you!

Stay away from this,

for your own safety.

Otherwise, they'll kill you.

Got it?

Wonderful.

Mr. Hiro.

Ah,

Mr. Hiro.

Hey Yumi, what do you think?

About Nimura.

Let's see, his timing was too good to be true.

So, I bet he was peeping on us the whole time we were drying our clothes!

You know, Yumi,

I still don't trust him.

I feel sorry for Okei by saying this,

but none of this makes sense.

Who is he? Why did he save us?

Because he's a valiant esper!

I believe it. Mr. Hiro is the esper hero,

who will stop the Research Society's cunning plans!

Valiant esper?

Didn't you see him?!

Mr. Hiro knocked them all down without even touching them.

It's direct proof of his psychic power.

Yeah, but Okei, why did Nimura use cheap tricks before, if he has real psychic power?

That's because,

Mr. Nimura's powers only awaken when he's angry.

Just like yours, Mai.

But then, why was he head of the Research Society?

To figure out their plans, of course!

But now he has to hide, since his identity has been revealed.

For sure!

For sure! There's no way I'm wrong!

Mr. Hiro is an esper hero who secretly leads the fight against evil!

Oh, my beloved Hiro. I will fight by your side, no matter what happens.

Mai,

Where's Okei?

She took her lunch and ran off.

Again?

This is the third time.

I expected something like this out of her.

Mr. Hiro!

Excuse me, where's your classmate, Nimura?

He went up to the roof with some good looking girl.

What?

A pretty girl?

I was digging into Nimura's past a little.

How did it go?

He recently transferred to Yamashiro Academy.

Before that, he studied at a school in Chuo.

I'm pretty sure Matoba Rika was also studying there.

Ehh?

That beastly girl?

Beastly girl?

Ah, don't get the wrong idea.

Forget I said anything.

Regardless of whether he's an esper on our side or not, there is some connection between the two.

Maybe they used to be friends.

At the moment, I can't say for sure.

That so? You need to dig deeper?

Of course! After all, a squad of super schoolgirls never gives up.

This again?

Jeez, you're persistant.

Mr. Hiro?

Like I said, I'm not interested in your plans.

Now leave me alone.

I no longer want anything to do with you!

I see, but I still have to get rid of a loose end that knows too much.

Loose end?

You were the one that kicked me out.

That's right. After all, you were a failure.

What was that?!

Sorry, but you have to die.

R-Rika!

Out of pity, I will kill you painlessly.

D-

Don't!

Rika!

Now, you will climb over the fence...

Mr. Hiro?

You will feel at ease...

...at ease...

Ah!

Don't!

Mr. Hiro!

Mr. Hiro!

Wake up!

Mr. Hiro!

Sorry, could you give us the ball?

Here it comes!

- Okei! - Okei!

W-What was that?

That was wierd.

Huh?

They said Okei went to the roof!

Let's go!

Okei!

Mai, over there!

It's Nimura.

Where's Okei?!

No... I don't see her anywhere!

Are you awake?

It's you.

Nimura,

Get it together.

Oh no! Okura's not here!

Okei! What happened to her?

Rika kidnapped her.

- Eh? - What did you say?

I'm sorry.

I should have told you about this darkness before.

Rika is plotting to take over the academy with the Research Society.

Okei was taken as a victim...

of the project to take over the academy?

I said!

Let me out!

Get me out of here!

That cage is made of heavy-duty glass.

No matter how much you try, you won't be able to break it.

Hey you, what do you want from me?

Let me outta here!

Why don't you try to do it yourself?

Let me go!!!

It's a pity your vaunted telepathic blast isn't working.

How do you know about that?

We have long been aware of your personality as an esper.

This cage has an anti-psychic-power device built into it.

No matter how strong the esper is...

Yes, even the strongest, like yourself, can't escape.

The strongest esper?

You mean me?

It's pointless to deceive me!

This machine showed us.

Your result is one in a million.

That's the machine...!

Well,

the other two will be here soon.

Then, I'll hypnotize you.

All three of you!

I'm terribly sorry.

Okura was kidnapped because of me.

Don't be so hard on yourself, Nimura.

Sooner or later, we would have to confront Rika.

But first,

We need to rescue Okei!

I'll go with you!

No, you can't! It's too dangerous.

She's right.

You know they'll fight dirty.

Nimura, next time you could be killed.

I'm aware of that.

But we can't let them win.

Besides,

I'm the only one that knows where they're holding her.

All right. Nimura,

why don't you take us to their hideout?

Okay.

When are we going?

The sooner, the better...

We'll go there tonight!

What?!

Tonight?!

Wow, it's just like an evil fortress.

Don't get too close.

There are cameras everywhere.

Security guards are on patrol 24/7.

See how tall this wall is?

It won't be too easy to climb over.

And there's high voltage wires on top of it.

I can't think of any way to sneak in there.

Oh, don't underestimate us.

Nothing is impossible for an esper.

Right, Yumi?

Eh? Y-yes.

What will you do?

Like this!

Teleport!

We managed to get inside!

So, you can teleport?

See? That wasn't so hard, was it?

Now, let's run into the building.

You can't!

This place is mined.

Mined?

Countless mines have been laid around the building.

So... even a cat couldn't run through here.

Honestly, what kind of psychos are trying to take over our academy?

This makes no sense at all.

Oh, but it won't be a big deal to you, will it?

What?

Right?

Yumi, you alright?

How are you doing, Sudo?

We're almost there.

Don't go any higher.

The guards might spot us.

Don't worry about that, I'm already at full capacity!

We've arrived...

Your levitation is amazing!

You girls really are excellent espers!

You alright, Yumi?

Great job!

Alright, you just have to break the glass to get inside.

That won't work.

The security alarm will go off, and Rika will catch us.

Well, if so,

Yumi, you're up again.

Why me again?!

My strength is running out.

Are you okay, Yumi? Get it together.

Take these.

These transmitters will track our location if we lose each other.

Okay.

Let's go.

Alright.

We're ready.

It's most likely that Okura is being held in the basement.

Yumi, hey, let's get going.

I'm tired... Mai, can you carry me? Please?

Alright.

How strange, why is no-one here?

They must not have imagined that their security would be useless against psychics.

Are we here?

Here we go!

Damn, it's a trap!

Yumi!

Mai!

- Okei! - Okei!

Welcome to the EDF's headquarters.

Matoba Rika!

Help me!

Mai!

Yumi!

Move it!

What?

Mai!

What happened to my power...?

My power isn't working...?

You see, the bracelet you put on is a device that restrains psychic abilities.

Nimura, so you...

Mr. Hiro, no.

It's a lie! I can't believe that you're still on their side!

I thought you came here to save me.

Mr. Hiro!

Hmm?

You! What did you do to him?!

You still don't get it? You really are a fool.

Hiro would never care about a kid like you.

Right, Hiro?

That's right.

Ahh!

So mean!

You betrayed us!

Betrayed?

Rather, it was a trick to capture the three of you.

Well, welcome to the ranks of our espers.

Thanks to you espers, the whole world will be in our hands.

Now, take them to the operating room.

They'll become one of us.

You won't be needing these anymore.

You'll be wearing our uniform when you wake up.

What are you going to do to us?

A lobotomy, of course.

You'll have to be opened up a bit.

Then, I will carefully walk my scalpel along your prefrontal cortex.

After this procedure, you will become my loyal psychic soldiers, obeying my every command!

I won't let you...

Ruin our precious youth for this crap!

You broke the restraining bracelet. What is this power...?!

M-Mr. Nimura!

- Mai! - Mai!

Both of you, quickly, remove the bracelets!

D-Damn it!

Get them!

Don't let them escape!

- Mai! - Mai!

Now you've really pissed me off!

No!!!

How dare you?!

Ahh!

No!

Yay!

Mai!

Look at what you've done.

You've beaten all of our soldiers.

Because of you, our project is ruined.

I won't let you get away with this!

Are you challenging me again?

Did you forget what happened last time?

This time, it's different!

- Mai! - Mai!

Do you understand now?

I won't show you mercy!

You did it, Mai!

Is that the best can do?

My turn to show you what a real esper looks like.

This time, I'll show you my true power!

And I'll beat the crap out of you!

Goodness, where are your manners?

None of your business!

Well, who's crying now?!

How is Mai doing?

Can she win?

Why...?

She's much stronger than last time!

That's right.

Thanks to this helmet, my strength has increased a hundredfold.

I have true power!

You are nothing against me!

You've lost!

Mai!

This helmet.

Could this work...?

Okay!

Levitation!

It's time to stop playing around.

Time to put you out of your misery, yes?

Mai!

Mai!

Well, after everything you've done to us, what should we do to make you pay us back?

P-Please forgive me!

Get back here right now!

Don't run away from me, Rika.

I-I give up!

I'm sorry!

I won't do it again!

What do you think, Okei?

Well, I feel a little sorry for her.

Hey, Rika, look at me.

Will you forgive me?

Do you think?

No way!!!

Ah, I feel better now.

Where's Yumi?

Is it over yet?

I'm so tired.

Rika!

You've lost, it's over.

And now, how will you make up for what you've done to us?

Okura.

You...!

You...!

I really hate you!!!

- Okei. - Okei.

Yumi, what's up? You're so happy today.

She really does. She must have some strange reason.

I was just thinking about yesterday.

And... it was exciting, wasn't it?

I flew across the sky like a superhero,

and used my power to the max.

Now I understood what that dream meant.

Dream? Oh, you mean that vision.

Ah, the dragon that grabbed me must have been the Research Society.

That's right, the dark ghostly figure that appeared at the end was a projection of Nimura.

But I really miss that helmet.

With that helmet,

I could be a superhero, fighting for world peace!

You still don't have full control over your powers!

Every time, you end up burning your clothes off, with your butt showing.

And you were crying about your lost love.

I'm fine now!

I'm still so young.

I can easily find a new guy. Mr. Hiro is not the only one.

Hey girls!

Sudo! Okura!

I was just looking for you.

Hokuto!

Nimura and Rika disappeared somewhere.

The Research Society is a mess due to their absence.

I don't know what to do about it.

So, could you help us, please?

I really need your help. You could bring members back and restore order.

I have no one to turn to except for you.

I beg of you!

We will not be able to conduct our seminars without a leader. So, please!

Hey...

Huh?

Hey!

Wait a minute!

One of you could be our new leader!

Nooooo!

With you, we can reorganize the Research Society!

No way! Not now, not ever!
