This leads the student council officer and leader of the Supernatural Studies Club, Toranosuke Miyamura, to recruit them for their newfound power.

The exiled prince, Lelouch vi Britannia, has one goal; to destroy the country that he once ruled over. After getting involved with a terrorist attack through unfortunate circumstances, he meets a girl named C.C. and makes a pact with her. She grants him the power of the Geass, also called the "Power of Kings". This newfound power will allow him to command anyone, even if it is against their own free will.

Sakurada Reset
- Photo:
Sakurada is no ordinary town; most of its population are born with supernatural abilities. One of the inhabitants of this town, Misora Haruki, has the ability to reset anything around her up to three days prior. No one around her, including herself, seems to know that she's reset except for Kei Asai; a boy with the ability of a photographic memory. By combining their powers, they're able to help a lot of people, even though it comes at a price when their tasks become more serious.
