「CHANGING DIVISIONS」

It is possible to change divisions in the T.I.S. project. However, if someone changes divisions, they have to exchange with someone else's place. Only division change that currently happened is the exchange between SEKAI and Karin on July 12, 2022. As such, from this date, SEKAI is now part of the Α division and Karin part of the Ι division.

A division change does not change the pseudonym of the person who changed divisions, but changes however the first letter attached to it. In the case of SEKAI and Karin, they were previously known as  Ι-Selene and Α-Karini. Now they became Α-Selene and Ι-Karini.

An exchange between more people is possible. For example, an exchange between three people from three different divisions is also possible if they go to the division of someone else who did the exchange. Four people from two different divisions, two being from one division and the two others being from another division is also possible.

The only purpose of making exchanges is due to the ritual of exchange. It requires the concerned people to make a ritual on their concerned days of T.I.S. to first ask for an exchange and then indeed exchange the concerned abilities. In Karin and SEKAI's case, Karin first started the ritual by doing a summoning on July 9, 2022. This deprived her from her current abilities in the group and was put on hold. She was still able to attend theorical studies since they are common to the whole group. Also the ritual must happen during the T.I.S. scheduled hour (near 6 PM). SEKAI finished it on July 12, 2022 by calling back Karin's former abilities. Then the two exchanged their abilities and their capes.

There are possible secondary effects, but in the case that actually happened, there was still some mystery behind it. To give further context, Karin did the summoning the day SEKAI became symptomatic for corruption syndrome, leading the latter to believe the ritual was the cause of her hallucinations and her faiting. The day after, Karin was victim from symptoms as well. It was only few hours later it was revealed the ritual had nothing to do with SEKAI's symptoms declaration. However, the two fainted at the end of the second ritual. So it was thought at the time this incident might have been caused by the effects of the ritual. They recovered the following day without any other issue.

Another series of division exchanges lifted some doubts about the ritual having caused these issues. Between August 9 and 11, 2022, Nyui and Meiji inverted their places. CUL and Tei inverted their divisions between August 11 and 12; Wistaria and Itako between August 12 and 13. The biggest exchange ever done was between August 10 and 13: Xin Hua moved from Δ to Σ, kokone from Σ to Α, Bibi from Α to Κ and GUMI from Κ to Δ. No issues were encountered.

「THE REASON WHY SORA WAS RECRUTED」

Sora Haruno wasn't intended to come to the team, even if the first plans about her go back to summer 2019. Finally she was not invited until very recently. But the real reason why Sora was invited was to become the new Alpha rank of the Ι division. Indeed, the former Alpha rank, Meiji, went to a division where she took a Beta rank only, leaving the Ι division with either IA either KAFU as new Alpha rank. Issue for Nynthixia: IA has too many issues of mental stability and KAFU has so many physiological issues due to her corruption that sustaining what an Alpha rank should do was too difficult at her eyes. As such, she rathered recruiting "fresh" people.

However, the plans got a bit broken by Yukari who straight-out infected Sora as soon she arrived, causing one of the most quick infections among the team members. Still, Sora is not as affected as IA or KAFU since she had no time to react.
