This is why Saki had the flashback about Shun: with gouma it's their uncontrollable power leakage that harms their environment. Back then, when Shisei went to visit the class, he sensed the leakage from Shun, which is why he immediately left and ordered the teacher to dismiss the entire class. Akki are supposed to be working the same way. |
Ah, thank you. If they'd just skipped that entire dialogue, I wouldn't have been confused. (Now I have to re-watch that dialogue to make sense of it. What was Saki thinking? Surely, she can't have missed that the boy was killing people effortlessly left and right. The specific mechanics, the "how", don't seem especially relevant in a let's-run situation.)
