Chen Xiangshan appeals to Mr. Zhou to free Lu Gonghu during a prisoner transport, and Chen promises to watch over Chinatown during the operation. Lu Gonghu is broken out shortly after by Mr. Zhou's forces. Ichihara visits Chioda to convince her to hold onto her feelings of bitterness for Tatsuya, believing it could be the key to Chiaki surpassing Tatsuya in skill one day. Further questioning revealed that Sekimoto was operating against the Magic Thesis team under mind control by an adversary organization. At the convention, Jumonji elects to increase security and have all Joint Security Force members wear armored vests. The First High Magic Thesis team successfully delivers their presentation to the audience, with Cardinal George congratulating Tatsuya backstage but promising that his school will beat them. Before they can begin their presentation, however, the convention center is attacked. (Source: Wikipedia)
