### Equipment

**Level Upper** *(幻想御手レベルアッパー Gensō Ote, lit. "Illusion Hand")***Brain Interactive Construct** *(脳波計算器 Noha Kesanki, lit. Brainwave Computer)*

**Hazakura Kana** (葉桜加奈 Hazakura Kana) is a homeroom teacher at Nagatenjouki Academy, former member turned General Director of The EYE, and a Right Head member in the Organization CERBERUS. She is the disciple of the late Kihara Yuiichiro, a user of the Level Upper and the creator of the **Brain Interactive Construct** *(脳波計算器 Noha Kesanki, lit. Brainwave Computer)*.

Knowledgeable in both science and magic, she plays a key role in the workings of CERBERUS, who uses science and magic hand in hand. She mostly prepares the items, ceremonies and rituals for spell casting and is always merging technology and magic together.

## Personality

As a researcher, Kana is logical, ambitious and driven. Although at times she acts too logically and forgets some common sense and social etiquette. She admires those who can accomplish tasks with ease and is very driven in her quest to unite the arts of Science and Magic. As seen when she created the Casting Assistance Device to reproduce the effects of magic using science and the AIM Diffusion Field.

Outside of her job as a researcher, she is very conscious of her age despite being only 22 years old. With her parents constantly questioning her about when will she get married, she always seems to get depressed and sometimes even regrets becoming a researcher because she can't get a husband. She also has a really low self-esteem in regards to her body, stating that no man would care about seeing her body. That is why when her body is complimented, she gets rather embarrassed.

She is very cheerful, and enjoys beer, eat outs, and public baths with her friends, apparently, willing to go become pass-out drunk in public. She also believes that there is no shame in showing her naked body to teenagers except for Eiichiro, who she believes should only see her when they get married. She also takes her job as a school teacher very seriously, opting to remain a teacher then go along with her feelings for Eiichiro and eventually get her fired from teaching. Often trying her best to keep her distance from Eiichiro and keeping it professional at the school campus.

When around Eiichiro, she shares the same emotional connection with him just like other members of the CERBERUS group. Often being overprotective of him and trying her best to act like an adult in front of him, in her mind, *trying to keep her image as an adult*. She is fiercely loyal to Kihara Eiichiro, willing to make Academy City her enemy, cause disruptions around the city and even almost putting her own teaching career on the line because Eiichiro is having trouble.It has been stated that should Eiichiro die, she and the rest of the Right Head of CERBERUS would not be able to handle it emotionally and would go into a disarray.

She displays a particular love for Level Upper, finding the ability to have more than one power very exciting. Which is why she tends to use it at battle. During battle, she is more or less calm and rational. Always trying to be a few steps ahead of her enemies.

## Appearance

Kana is a fairly tall and busty woman with long, black hair that reaches down to her lower back and has purple eyes. Despite her claims of *no man would care to see her body*, she is in fact a very beautiful woman with glamorous proportions.

She is almost always seen wearing a knee length white lab coat, a black vest, and black pants with a brown belt. Underneath her vest is a dress shirt and a loosely worn short tie. On rare occasions, she would be seen in a brown pencil skirt. Typically when she is doing a presentation in Nagatenjouki Academy or when a special occasion such as a friend's marriage is happening.

When around Eiichiro, she is noted by her fellow teachers and researchers as *something different about her*. Described as smiling a lot more often and wider smile is present than the more calmer smile that she makes when she teaches a class.

## Powers and Abilities

### Level Upper

Her primary equipment in combat is the neural brainwave network Level Upper, invented by Kiyama Harumi. She primarily use the Level Upper to stimulation of all five senses of the cultivated brains inside the **Brain Interactive Construct** using synesthesia, in turn registering herself as it's administrator, allowing Kana to borrow it's vast computation and processing abilities. Effectively making her already great intelligence equal that of the Supercomputer, the **Tree Diagram** *(樹形図の設計者 Jukeizu no Sekkeisha, lit. Designer of the Tree Diagram)*.

As the cultivated brains retain their Personal Realities, Kana is able to borrow their powers as the administrator. Achieving **Multi-Skill** *(多才能力 Tasai Nōryoku, lit. Versatility Ability)*. It is similar to **Dual Skill**, the ability for an esper to have more than one ability, though according to the creator of Level Upper, a person who has Dual Skill is an impossibility – as it has been concluded that an esper can only have one ability, and seem to indicate that Multi-Skill is not like Dual Skill.

* **Multi-Skill** *(多才能力 Tasai Nōryoku, lit. Versatility Ability)*: Despite not being an esper herself, she gained multiple powers under the control of the Level Upper system. She has hundreds of thousands of esper powers under her belt due to the Brain Interactive Construct. She is able to add more to her repertoire of abilities by cultivating the brains of espers and growing them inside the jars as well as connecting them to the Brain Interactive Construct. Some of the notable powers she has used are Aero Hand, Telekinesis, Clairvoyance, and Rampage Dress. The amount of esper powers puts her on a level similar to F.A.I.T.H..

### Magic

Kana is knowledgeable and demonstrated the ability to use magic. Although a normal human she would still suffer from a similar rejection to that of an esper using magic due to her connection of the Level Upper Network to the Brain Interactive Construct, as her connection to the Brain Interactive Construct's modified brains produce their own AIM Diffusion Field and share her brainwave patterns. However she won't suffer a serious rejection like bursting organs, rather she would merely suffer from unnaturally sweating and distorted breathing for a few minutes. Additionally, she can only use two to three spells a day before showcasing the aforementioned symptoms. She has also displayed the ability to exploit the negative side effects of an esper using magic, being able to use a small spell and transferring the rejection from her into something or someone else.

## Items and Equipment

### The Brain Interactive Construct

**The Brain Interactive Construct** *(脳波計算器 Noha Kesanki, lit. Brainwave Computer)* is the name of the advanced neural supercomputer given by Hazakura Kana, who is an expert in neurology and the development of Esper Powers. The construct is a supercomputer that uses the concept of the Brainwave Network that has been created by cultivating the brains of at least 60% of espers in Academy City, augment their size to gargantuan proportions and connect them to each other using specialized wiring. Enabling computation processes that even Eiichiro acknowledges that it surpasses the Tree Diagram's simulation capabilities.

The Brain Interactive Construct was inspired by the technology that created Exterior, as both projects use cultivated brains from espers to access certain characteristics of the brain. However the application of both differ in that Exterior was meant for other people, esper or normal, to use **Mental Out*.*** While the Brain Interactive Construct is a gargantuan brainwave network meant to act as a computer and as described by Kana as *a buffet of esper powers*.

The Brains that were used for the computation process are stored inside humongous jars of an unknown fluid that is used to preserve the brain. The special wirings are used to connect the brains and form the Brainwave Computation Network. The brains themselves do not have any form of free will and were created to not have any independent thought of their own, unlike the original from which they were cultivated from. As they were brains cultivated from espers, they retain the Personal Reality and in turn Esper Powers of the original esper. By registering into the Brain Interactive Construct as an administrator, she is able to use all of the esper powers produced by the Personal Realities inside the cultivated brains, as well as borrowing their mental computation abilities for herself.

The Construct itself as a whole is at least 2/3 the size of Academy City, which is why Eiichiro created an extra phase specifically for the storage of the supercomputer and for protection purposes. Inside the phase, there is also a control console that enables an administrator or those given permission by the administrator to communicate, send requests to it and also receive information and data.

## Trivia

The last name Hazakura (葉桜) and first name Kana (加奈) alludes to Kojima Kana (児嶋 加奈) and Hazakura Hikari (葉桜ひかり) from *Nande Koko ni Sensei Ga!?*, an anime depicting student and teacher relationships, which also alludes to Kana's relationship with Eiichiro as a teacher and student.
