The participants are told that they are "erased from the family register, involved in an experiment, and gained certain powers."

Akira is determined to win the game with his newfound powers and destroy the organization. Armed with a power no one expects and his "brain" skills, the new period of intelligence battle of begins!

Later, Akira is brought to the program. Mion comes out on a stage and introduces herself as a magician. She explains they are considered dead for the outside world and will be testers in their new game. One of the men attacks her, but she turns her hand into a cannon and blows a hole in him. Mion explains each had been given an ability. However the handcuffs prevent them from using their abilities and they can use it five seconds after the handcuffs are off. She reveals she knows a lot about each person, and allows time for questions, but only a few ask questions which she isn't allowed to answer.
