It's not their looks that count.

It's their... I dunno, their

sensitivity that makes me do it.

I suppose I owe you one.

Thank you very much, uh...

I'm Kaneda.

Nice to meet you.

See you around, Kaneda.

You're leaving already?

Don't be like that!

Hey, come on!

I did save you and all!

At least tell me your

name, you b*tch!

I'll try talking with them for

the time being, but it's risky.

If they think you're trying to avoid taking

responsibility, it'll blow up in your face.

I can't believe that there's a

mole on the executive council.

Even if that's true...

That isn't important.

What's important is diplomacy and political

maneuvering, which you seem to despise.

I never studied them in school, you see.

In any case, at the next

executive council meeting,

your poor management of this last

incident will be called into question.

There's a phone call for the Colonel.

You should put your affairs in order.

It's me.

This way, Colonel.

I'm terribly sorry to call you here,

but there's something

you really must see.

Please observe.

It's the special pattern

from that young boy.

It doesn't resemble

any I've seen so far,

and I've never seen a developmental

speed or configuration like this.

It may have begun with the shock of

contact with Number 26, or possibly...

Have you finished running a

comparison with Akira's pattern?

I'll superimpose it over this one.

This projection was constructed using

mixed data, so a comparison is difficult,

but I believe this boy's

pattern is the key to solving...

...the riddle of Akira's

pattern growth process.

All right. Continue.

Very well, sir. Thank you.

I'm sure he'll turn out to be a

worthy addition to the Numbers.

It may be rough on him,

but I thought we might try starting

him off with level 7 capsules.

Is it safe?

Leave everything to me.

That's not what I meant!

I'm asking that if he turns out to

have power like Akira's like you said,

will we be able to control it?

Well, that's...

Can I leave this to you?

Well, if we use the latest examination

equipment to collect even more data...

...and do a multifaceted

analysis, then surely...

Maybe we shouldn't

touch that power.

The power of God?

A... ki... ra...

But we have to.

We have to touch it and control it.

If it looks like it's too much for us

to handle, terminate him at once!

There can be no hesitation!

Very well, Colonel.

This school is your last chance!

If trash like you that can't keep up with

the academic ability of regular students...

If trash like you that can't keep up with

the academic ability of regular students...

...and can't adapt to living in a group

screw up here, it's the end of the road!
