The Earth has been terrorized by large creatures called Nova; in order to combat them, Pandoras, teenage girls with special abilities, have been developed and trained at West Genetics Academy in Japan. In one of the school’s tournament battles known as the Carnival, two girls are fighting each other, however a guy suddenly rushes one of the girls with a hug, thinking that she is his sister. Kazuya Aoi, the guy in question, is a new student at West Genetics; he learns that the girl is Satellizer el Bridget, nicknamed the “Untouchable Queen”, who, as a result of his interference, lost her number-one ranking among the second-year Pandoras. In an unsanctioned fight, she and Ganessa Roland, the other girl in the match, both activate Pandora Mode, which upgrades their abilities, until their teachers order them to stand down. As Kazuya gets settled at the dorms, he learns that the Pandoras partner with younger male students called Limiters who cast “Freezing” auras that paralyze their opponent. He apologizes to Satellizer, and upon learning that she is actually quite shy and sweet in private, asks to become her Limiter. They are interrupted by the sadistic Miyabi Kannazuki, a third-year student who employs multiple Limiters, and who wants Kazuya for her own. Miyabi humiliates Satellizer, but when Kazuya surprises everyone by countering with his Freezing ability, Satellizer fights back and stabs Miyabi. Later on, third-year Pandora Ingrid Bernstein challenges Satellizer to a duel, but gives her one last chance to find a Limiter. |

Ingrid fights Satellizer without her Limiter and takes one of her Stigmata. When Ingrid’s Limiter arrives, Kazuya volunteers himself to be Satellizer’s Limiter, but Satellizer refuses. Ingrid is angry that Kazuya and Satellizer are not acting properly. The story flashes back to when Ingrid was in a squad with her friend Marin Maxwell for a training exercise against dummy Nova opponents when they were attacked by a real Nova. Marin sacrificed herself in order to give time for the then second-years to retreat. Back at the present, Ingrid goes into Pandora Mode, but almost loses her sanity until Kazuya stops her. Satellizer agrees to have Kazuya be her Limiter but without going through the “baptism”[note 1] process. In anticipation of their first “room visit”, Kazuya goes to the town to shop, but when he is ambushed by city thugs, he is saved by Rana Linchen, a girl from Tibet. They meet Hiiragi and Arthur, but the thugs return and hold Arthur captive at gunpoint. |

Thanks to Kazuya's Freezing, he and his friends defeat the thugs. While he is recovering, Rana believes that Kazuya is her soulmate, but Satellizer attends to Kazuya for the night. Rana joins Satellizer’s class, and spars with Ganessa. Arthur shares with Kazuya about Satellizer’s past at school. Rana flirts with Kazuya, asking him to refer to each other without honorifics, which causes Satellizer to do the same. When Attia Simmons, a third-year, tells Rana that Satellizer has been treating Kazuya like a pet, Rana takes Satellizer to the gym area where they duel. Kazuya interrupts their fight, but Attia arrives with two schoolmates, Arnett McMillan and Creo Brand, who knock Kazuya out and who plan to fight Satellizer (and Rana). |
