A little into their second year of high school, the Raimon Soccer Club were on their way to the Holy Road finals. Then the car veers off the path, and they dive into the valley, where the car rolls off the cliff into the verge, and no one survives.

Teikoku vs Raimon begins.
Tsurugi talks with Haruma Mikado, Teikoku's Captain SEED, and things do not go well. Kirino thought they were only a little more than strangers last time around, but this time, there's only bad blood between them.
Something's strange, but Kirino dismisses it in favour of good news.

Of course, El Dorado had a broadcast during the Teikoku vs Raimon match. Actually, they had one even the night before, and the entirety of Raimon bolted awake in the middle of the night just to hear it happen.
They talked about the lockdowns happening, and how all evidence pointed to Raimon not being involved in this broadcast. The Fifth Sector agents stepped in for a spotcheck, and no one had their devices, and the broadcast was airing from the TV.
"We can do this with every school in the prefecture, and you won't find a trace of us anywhere. We are not one being, we are a collective. We do not exist."
Whoever came up with this ominous script, Akane loves it. Kirino could see her jittering in her seat, eyes filled with excitement. They definitely knew how to go with the antihero vigilante aesthetic she's set up for them for drama purposes.
Even Kirino didn't know who was saying it this time, voice changer and all. It was probably one of the adults.
The reveal that El Dorado was a scattered coalition may be good or bad for them– but at least, it would spread suspicions among the society. That is, if Fifth Sector was still going to try and pinpoint the culprits.
"What are you doing over there?"
"Hmm? Reading comments."
And all of a sudden everything whirls right over its feet and the whole world spun to the broadcast again, because that was another person talking.
This would be the first time that a broadcast was deliberately done with the intention to appear as more than one person– and they were speaking informally, unlike everything Kirino and Akane had set it up to be.
Kirino was baffled at first– but on second thought– this would sell the fact that they were multiple people easily. They were even using different voice changers for different people– they could now easily flunk around the identities to throw Fifth Sector off their trail further.
