This takes care of people with supernatural abilities, searches for them, trains them and protects them.

50 years later, BABEL has three gifted at level 7, the highest attainable. These are called The Children and are all three young girls. BABEL now has the task of educating Kaoru Akashi, Shiho Sannomiya and Aoi Nogami, developing their skills and, above all, preventing them from using their skills against other people.
