As the graviton bombings continue to become bigger and keep injuring people, Judgment decides to join forces with the Anti-skills to find the culprit. Ruiko mentions to Mikoto about the Level Upper urban legend they talked about before, though she does not believe that such a thing can exist. Mikoto accompanies Ruiko and Kazari to the mall, where she runs into T?ma accompanying the little girl from before. Kuroko and Mii finally realize that the culprit is targeting Judgment members, with Kazari set to be the next target. After evacuating the mall, with only Kazari, Mikoto, T?ma and the young girl left in the store, a bomb hidden inside a plush toy goes off. Mikoto fumbles her railgun trying to stop it, but everyone is saved by T?ma's powers. Mikoto manages to find and beat the culprit, Hatsuya Kaitabi, who wanted to punish Judgment for not protecting him from bullies, believing people with power like her and Judgment are corrupt. Mikoto punches him for using that as an excuse to hurt others, with Kuroko later telling him Mikoto would've still stood up to him even if she remained a Level 1. Mikoto meets T?ma the next day who explains why he didn't seek recognition for rescuing everyone, which just aggravates Mikoto.
