Episode Title:
Silent Majority.
Episode Description:
Ruiko uses the Level Upper on herself and her friends, becoming happy just to have an ability of her own. Meanwhile, Kuroko takes care of more Level Upper offenders and gains more injuries in the process, keeping them a secret from Mikoto. Remembering when they ate shaved ice the other day, Mikoto and Kuroko come to the conclusion that the Level Upper is using synesthesia to manipulate multiple senses via a single stimulus. Kazari hears from Ruiko that her friends had suddenly fallen unconscious due to the Level Upper, later arriving at Ruiko's apartment to find her unconscious as well. After Ruiko is admitted into hospital, Mikoto, believing she hurt Ruiko's feelings by saying an esper's level does not matter, asks to cooperate with Judgment in finding the culprit. After learning from the frog-faced doctor, Heaven Canceller, that the Level Upper victims seem to share a brainwave pattern with someone, Mikoto and the others discover the culprit is Kiyama, who had been using the Level Upper to connect the thoughts of espers like a parallel computing network. Kazari, who had visited Kiyama earlier and discovered her notes on synesthesia, is taken hostage by her. Noticing Kuroko's injuries, Mikoto goes by herself to rescue Kazari and stop Kiyama.
