Oh, so this is about a super-cool superpower school, right?
 |
| Oh. |
Welcome to Surprisingly Mundane Esper Academy, where classes are determined not by grade levels or intelligence but by how active your psychic powers are judged to be. Not only that, but it looks like only like five people get to go on out-of-school adventures. Great thanks for taking the MC to this place guys.
But if one thing's totally wacky and different at this school, it's gotta be the student body!!
 |
| Look at all that brick-red hair!!!!! Otherwise they look pretty normal. |
Our protagonist (Light Yagami) and his recently-acquired glasses-wearing sidekick (Shinpachi) do a little bit of wacky in-school shenanigan madness, though. There's a huge line to the sandwiches, but Shinpachi knows just how to get them: using powers. Don't worry, he won't get caught in this school that specializes in dealing with psychic children because he'll be in the security camera's blind spot.
 |
| Every brain in this building also has a blind spot. |
Well, that's okay. I guess student council members really are above suspicion!
Then they go back to the classroom to eat. The main character white-hair girl is also there, but she eats alone, 'cause people don't like her because she...because...I don't actually know, anyway, it's important, and it's dramatic, and it doesn't matter right now because we've gotta finish eating and go to the student council room and watch some other psychic guy drip on a map!
 |
| This. This is where we're going. To this drip. Are you not enthralled? |
So the student council – no adults or anything, it's a Hip Teens Only Zone – journeys to the school where the power of the drip informs them another esper kid is. They raise a little heck, destroy a few things, and eventually find their target: a guy who can project anything he wants onto dinky Polaroid pictures. But he doesn't wanna leave. You can't make him. In fact, if you try to make him, he's gonna make a picture of you in underwear and post it online. How you feel about that, main-character-girl-who-shockingly-is-not-named-Charlotte?!
 |
| O-oh... |
But, using their ultra super powers, the trio gets the picture out of his hands and sends him off to the school where his talents can truly thrive! Thrive? Yeah, I guess normal kids' powers are supposed to thrive there! Come back next week and see!
This also means breaking off all friends and most family and stuff, and living on your own unless you are privileged enough to have an imouto, but, you know. Stuff happens.
 |
| "On-campus stay is mandatory and comes with non-negotiable cable, gas, and general poshness. So yeah, you're gonna need all the part-time gigs you can get." |
Then comes Part Two of our bifurcated episode. You were wondering about "Charlotte," weren't you? Well, you're in luck. It's time to take a trip to learn about "Charlotte"........................'s brother!! Let's eat food on the train and watch the steam billow in everyone's faces, even though it's totally ill-mannered to do so.
 |
| See? Such shameful brats. |
Mmkay, here's the story: she was about to go to a prestigious school. He was about to get his rock group signed on with a big company. But then their mom said "no, I'm betraying you and sending you to a boarding school where scientists run tests on everybody, because you have powers," which she learned because once at this band performance the brother made his guitar strum out unnatural, amazing sounds with his power. This part seems amazing. Why didn't we see this? We didn't see this. But we saw them in their house!
 |
| No, never mind, probably too pretentious. |
Luckily, after all of their awful experiences and forced separation, they united! Sadly, her brother is in an institution suffering from poor mental health after a bunch of experiments by eeevil scientists. Yeah, Light Yagami, I'm telling you, he's in a really bad way with no end in sight. Wanna come see him?
 |
| Rei Fucks Up Doesn't Notice Doesn't Care |
There will never be a drug to fix her brother...because the people who research drugs are scientists, and all scientists love debilitating human experimentation. Can't get enough of it. That's why we never tell the police anything about psychic kid stuff! Th-th...that can't be...! What a cruel world...
To round out the episode, Light Yagami goes home, ruminates on what he's learned, and tries more of his sister's wacky cooking that he doesn't like! Also looks at meteors.
 |
| he just sits there at the table while she cooks, doing nothing then when he eats the food he hates it what a tool |
