Freezing

In a battle royale to determine the rankings of second-year Pandoras, Satellizer el Bridget, The Untouchable Queen, is the strongest-ranked Pandora. During class, physics teacher and training instructor Yumi Kim talks about her experiences as a Pandora during the last war against the Nova, in which one battle against a powerful Nova was ultimately won thanks to the sacrifice of her squadmate, Kazuha Aoi. Meanwhile, Kazuha's brother, Kazuya, is transported to the West Genetic Academy by student president Chiffon Fairchild and is given a rundown about the nature of Pandoras and Limiters. Kazuya arrives while Satellizer is in a battle against the second-ranked Pandora, Ganessa Roland, Kazuya mistakes Satellizer for his late sister and hugs her, provoking an embarrassing reaction from her and leaving her open to attack.

Because of Kazuya's interference, Satellizer lost the battle against Ganessa, who is now the number-one-ranked second-year Pandora. Kazuya wants to apologize to Satellizer, but Chiffon advises him against it due to Satellizer's aphephobia and her propensity toward attacking anyone who touches her. Soon, Satellizer arrives, and Kazuya tries apologize to her. Despite Kazuya holding her arm, Satellizer does nothing but tell him to leave her alone. Just then, a gloating Ganessa arrives and insults Satellizer, which starts a fight between the two despite Chiffon's warnings. When Satellizer manages to knock her down, Ganessa goes into Pandora Mode and proceeds to beat and torture Satellizer. Kazuya tries to stop the fight, but Ganessa slaps him away which causes Satellizer to react and go into Pandora Mode as well, and defeats Ganessa. Yumi and Medical Officer Eliza Schmitz soon arrive to stop the fight, and they punish both girls with detention.

After introducing himself to his class and having lunch with class representative Kaho Hiiragi, Kazuya spots Satellizer and decides to apologize to her.properly He finds her on the rooftop, and through their conversations, he is glad to find that she is a shy and nice person. Both Arthur and Kaho are shocked to find that Kazuya can talk to her normally. However, third-year Pandora Miyabi and her three Limiters arrive and Miyabi wants to make Kazuya her newest Limiter, but when he rejects her offer, she threatens Kazuya, which prompts Satellizer to raise her weapon against Miyabi. As the two Pandoras fight, Miyabi uses Accelerating Turn to increase her speed, but she is surprised to learn that Satellizer can also use Accelerating Turn. After taking a strike to her face, which angers her, Miyabi orders her Limiters to freeze both Kazuya and Satellizer and beat them. As Miyabi and her Limiters humiliate and sexually harass Satellizer, Kazuya activates his Freezing powers to stop them.

After spending a week in solitary confinement for her actions, Satellizer faces Ingrid, who challenges her to a duel to punish her for going against the third-years and tells her to get a Limiter ready for it. Upon hearing about it, Kazuya begs Satellizer to let him be her partner, but she refuses. Instead, Sattelizer attacks Ingrid before their match, but Ingrid is well-prepared and gets the upper hand thanks to her Tempest Turn. When her Limiter, Leo, arrives, Ingrid gives Satellizer one more chance to get a Limiter, for which Kazuya volunteers despite being warned of the consequences of associating with Satellizer. Thanks to his powerful Freezing ability, Satellizer is able to knock down both Leo and Ingrid, but, hellbent on punishing Satellizer, Ingrid refuses to give up and goes into Pandora Mode, leaving Kazuya confused as to why Ingrid takes hierarchy discipline so seriously.

Satellizer finally accepts Kazuya as her Limiter as she doesn't feel uncomfortable when he touches her and he can do Freezing without performing a baptism. Arthur and Kaho are shocked by this development and even more so when they learn Satellizer has invited Kazuya into her room tonight. Meanwhile, a new student from Tibet named Lana Linchen has arrived at West Genetics Academy. As Kazuya, Arthur and Kaho head to the girls' dormitory, they are confronted by the 3rd to 5th-ranked Second-year Pandoras, Audrey Duval, Tris Mackenzie and Aika Takeuchi, whom all lost to Satellizer at the battle royale and wants to take it out on Kazuya, and tortures Arthur and Kaho for interfering. In anger, Kazuya activates his Freezing powers but soon lose consciousness as Lana arrives to rescue them and defeats the second-year Pandoras. Informed on what just happened, Satellizer visits the hospitalized Kazuya.

Lana enrolls into Satellizer's class where she is shown to be a formidable fighter when she defeats Ganessa during a practice bout. Despite being warned, Lana makes her moves on Kazuya, hoping to make him her partner much to Satellizer's jealousy. Arthur and Kaho continue to warn Kazuya not to be with Satellizer after telling him how she was held back a year and expelled from East Genetics for seriously injuring a Limiter who was a playboy. Later, Attia lies to Lana that Satellizer hasn't performed a baptism with Kazuya as she is only using him for his Freezing powers, which Lana brings Satellizer to a training facility where they fight over who should be Kazuya's partner. After a brutal fight, Kazuya intervenes to clarifty Lana about his relationship with Satellizer but Attia, along with two other third-years, Arnett McMillan and Cleo Brand, arrives.
