Toaru was the last cycle? So the entities didn't think it was weird to leave a planet, zoom around space, and immediately show up to an identical planet?
They might just be dimensional traveling. Or they just went, huh, that's weird. Then dismissed it. It could also be that the Entities are basically paperclip AIs and they literally didn't think about it.
when you do that, you are essentially jolting the pins, and hope they get stuck on the share line. it works better if you have a "bump" key in the lock (essentially a key that is too low cut to push all the pins all the way even if it's at the shallowest, but still high enough to bump them a little bit. then smack the key, "bumping" them up as you apply tension. it helps if you have a rubber ring around the key so it bumps back which bumps both better and protects the lock".)
Lockpicking Layer has really interesting videos about this on youtube.
I am not a criminal.
as shown by the guys that are good at it, you are indeed correct with "Not easily".
good new locks are pick-resistant, similar to how windows can be bullet resistant and not bulletproof. people that know what they are doing can get trough them without to much problem. most people are not that kind of people making them fairly safe.

Toaruverse is indeed far from helpless against the entities, especially considering the mostly unknown/undefined powers of the Magic Gods.
They did not get as far as they'd like. Also the one doing the thinking is well, the Thinker. Not the Warrior. She crashed, or Cauldron wouldn't exist.
Except this time she crashed due to battle damage removing her safeties.
The last cycle. Uh.. it was a bit off a mess on all sides. I haven't fully pinned it down, but some of the key points (which are still able to change in the details, if not the essence) are:
- it was short. As in single digit years. (not the thirty Worm already has when Taylor enters the picture)
- Initially parahumans were mistaken for Gemstone Espers, until discrepancies were noted
- Eden, uh, missed her spot check on the phases and magic gods initially. (or she wouldn't have landed on the toaru-world at all)
- Touma was responsible for discrepancies between parahumans and Espers being noticed. (Because he is just that unlucky)
- Eden managed to steer Aleister/Aiwass against the Magic Gods in the exact way so they stalemated each other (or the entities would've actually lost, because the Magic Gods and Aleister/Aiwass are just that powerful)
- Eden actively worked on killing teleporters because she recognized the threat in them accessing the shard's dimensions (poor Kuroko)
- it was a close enough fight that the titular "Flung Light" got built in case of failure/extinction
- it was a close fight, including for the entities. (and it isn't only Scion, it's Eden there too or they'd have lost outright)
- The final fight was Pyrrhic. For all sides.

Eh what she said is still mostly valid because worm precog is pretty complicated and should also really be noted we mostly see like the top 5% of thinkers worldwide see the ones the prt uses for the weekly Nilbog or emergency Echidna danger lv ratings they give answers like orangish-red, or 7ish for it with that basically being on a scale they have to work out and being all they can do.
This is largely because while it is undoubtedly true that the entities have true future sight see the 2nd trigger vision shown during gm which had Scion while approaching the planet use Dinah's shard to precog a future he has to fight the locals and he sees the current battle it is also true that such powers are insanely expensive to the point of burning years worth of power in a few seconds so they get massively restricted before being handed out to reduce the cost with even Scion only using them for things like investigating why Eden hadn't appeared, when Eidolon and GU had him so far on the backfoot either using it was the lower cost or because he was revelling in his emotions of joy from crushing ants he just got fed up because he does have hundreds of years in stock to burn and when he's targeted by sting his ptv is set to auto activate.
For the most part though complicated events such as triggers and the actions of other precogs do throw off predictions with even Ziz being thrown off and having to rebuild it's predictions (though using the scream data it does do that increasingly quickly) every time Dinah answered a question during the canon fight with Dinah herself being a blindspot Ziz could only roughly guess where she was and what she'd do. Dinah also experienced this with Contessa being freed throwing off her huge and hugely stupid plan.

Well, considering the one image we have from that last fight shows the Imagine Breaker, Mental Out, a Kihara, plus both Accelerator and Railgun going full tilt at Level 5.5, we can infer it was not a nice fight. Not that world-ending fights are precisely rare for Touma, but this might have been a new scale of suck.

COLLEGE, then.
It's even multiple meaning in one.
Edit:
Imagine Mental Out spawning autonomous Esper Cells in other cities, with tech to Esper Activation and sufficient seed knowledge base. Such a network of societies could be called UNIVERSITY.

In her defense, there's basically no difference between both methods, just the shards having many times more processing capacity than an Esper, and Nozomi doesn't know that.Nozomi's take on precognition is very informed by toaru-standards and very not informed by worm-standards.
How about Multiskill for the teen name?
I mean, maybe the water vapor lets her get an accurate enough image of the pins to make a correctly shaped key.
Her taking a peak and having that reaction is understandable. It's a really shocking thing to learn.
Mental Out is useful like that.
That's a fair view to hold on such things. Also looks like Contessa may run into Diana.
Damn he got wrecked Tinkers do be like that.
Welp shit.
Damn the Entities and Toaru verse messed each other up.

I had a hard time understanding exactly what happened to Hookwolf. Did it create concrete around him? Did it connect him to the rebar and wire in the concrete floor?
Very cool to see Dinah's prophecy already being important.
Ramble: it's a little short sighted to discard Dinah just because her precognition is sabotaged. She can clearly get some information after all, and Nozomi hasn't really investigated how powers and espers work to know if she can help refine that. Then again, playing with that sounds like a way to set Scion off. And Nozomi didn't say she didn't want to get more information from Dinah, just that knowing she's sabotaged by her ultimate enemy makes her reluctant to rely on Dinah and presumably to fully trust her. So I guess that makes perfect sense.

Magnets probably. Magnetized the metal in the floor. If he uses his power he gets stuck to the floor.

I explained it a couple chapters ago and didn't want to repeat myself. I quoted it for you below.
The grenade made Hookwolf himself a magnet. He also always has his metal under his skin, even when he looks normal. So he's out of luck.
It is.
But Nozomi isn't without fault.
She is wary that the information is subtly distorted to make parahumans act in ways that will favor the entities. Which isn't wholly unreasonable to be concerned about.
That same distrust is also the reason she does not have Coil make use of the timelines for her. She doesn't trust it.
You'd have PRT teams at the scene as soon as they can get to their teleporter.
Then she'll get declared an S-Class threat and they'll move to secure the esper-activation tech "for the good of the nation."
Then Villains steal it, other nations steal it and shit really hits the fan.
It is an open question how long the grenade lasts. If Hookwolf gets free while they're still dealing with Echidna, it's gonna be an even bigger clusterfuck.
I'm suspecting Scion goes off early because even in his depressive state he'd notice if esper proliferation grows to a point where he feels threatened in the near future and acts to head it off.
Probably around when the AIM field level is sufficient to start supporting Artificial Angels, since its not far after THAT when you can start using the field to interdict 'foreign' miracles.

I'm wondering how esper powers would behave with Noelle clones? Would the esper clone have the esper power or would the clone just be a powerless version that hates the original.
Then again, any clones made by Noelle could probably just be taken control of by Nozomi. So they shouldn't be much of a problem anyway.

The clones Noelle makes are described as "mentally twisted", and may not be compatible with Nozomi's current "human brain" models, which could limit her ability to control them.
It would have a much more significant effect on any possible esper power though, since mental state and sense of self (inner world?) are a HUGE component of how esper powers work - if they had powers that worked at all they may end up with completely different expressions, or powers that just uncontrollably miss fire. Even if they didn't have powers though, they'd be aware of how their original got those powers, and could spill the secret, so hopefully none of the espers will go near Noelle.

Last? The grenade is already done.
Now the metal.. the metal is magnetized permanently. He'll have to replace it
IIRC that took roughly two million espers in canon.
As Nozomi currently behaves there is no way she is gonna reach those numbers.
Though most of those espers were Level 0s. Might be able to do that with less than that if they are high level.
It is indeed very unlikely a clones esper would come out with the same powers due to the importance of the personal reality and the alterations Noelle's cloning process causes.
But more importantly Nozomi has ransacked the Traveler's memories and knows what happens should anyone touch Noelle.
She's not keen on finding out how exactly it'd make things worse unlike a Kihara would be.
