and even pushes him to run for Class President. Nana continues following Nanao
around campus sharing information about her mind-reading talent. The next day,
Moguo Iijima and Seiya Kori spar over the Class President position. Seiya wins, but
Moguo throws a giant fireball in anger. Nanao leaps into action to save Nana from
the fireball, and reveals his talent: the power to cancel other talents.
Afterwards, having won Class President himself, Nana offers to let him test his
power on her by holding her hand. As he does, Nana throws him off the cliff. While
he hangs by a rope, Nana reveals to Nanao that she is actually Talentless, and that

herself. Later, Nana gets Yōhei to demonstrate the limits of his talent, and her
past self spots Yōhei before she carries out her assassination of Nanao. Late at
