Kongou and her friends with the logs, prior to launch.
Uiharu, Saten, Kuroko and Mikoto continue to think about their next plan of attack after witnessing the failed attempts of the other participants. With Saten's plan to scale the walls deemed impossible by a similar attempt by a nearby group and esper abilities still affected by AIM Jammers, Kongou Mitsuko suggests launching massive logs while outside AIM Jammer range. At the control center, Kyougoku Ryouta is aware of Kongou's bold attempt and, despite his assistant's suggestion to use a more precise AIM Jammer, allows the attempt to push through, confident that his walls can withstand the attack. Indeed, the logs Kongou launched are blasted by a wind current generated from within the walls of the reformatory and are scattered across the field as Kongou loses control of her ejection points. As a last resort, Mikoto gathered a large amount of nearby metal debris and, while outside of AIM Jammer range, used her Railgun to launch it on the wall. While it easily punched a hole through the wall, they discover that pipes filled with Birdlime quickly close up the hole created by Mikoto's Railgun attack.
Although Mikoto is surprised at the convenience of Birdlime technology on the reformatory walls, she is distracted by Saten finally finding the missing pair of her paw-shaped climbing gloves buried under the iron sand and water created by her and Wannai Kinuho in an early clash against the guard robots. Saten then notices that the iron sand and water mixture solidified the former. This gives Mikoto an idea on what to do next.
