Kazuya is invited to East Genetics Academy to meet the #1 ranked third-year Pandora, Cathy Lockharte, who possesses Stigmata from his late sister, Kazuha. Despite her potential, she explains she plans to become a novelist, staying around to graduate. As Kazuya returns home, Sister Margaret reveals that Satellizer also possesses six of Kazuha's Stigmata, but showed little compatibility with them. Cathy reveals to her teacher Milena that the reason she doesn't want to join the Chevalier, the Pandora elite, was because she was there when Satellizer attacked the playboy Limiter when she was still a student at East Genetics, and Satellizer's resolve to never give up no matter how many times Cathy put her down made her scared and realize how weak she was. Just then, East Genetics is attacked by a four Type-S Nova who exhibit abilities that have never been seen before. The Nova overwhelm the students, but then absorb some of the Pandoras, including Cathy and Milena. Meanwhile, Satellizer overhears Kazuya talking with Arthur and Kaho, believing that Kazuya only chose her because she reminded him of his sister.
