The technological wonder of Academy City. The bastion of of advancement and center by which all the modern Espers of the time are being created and trained, from the most insignificant Level 0’s to the extraordinary Level 5’s, every single one of these marvels of scientific progress truly exemplify what makes the city such a unique place.

.

A city like this doesn’t just function on its own however, because none other than the intelligent and devoted scientists are the ones who have truly made this place as astonishing and safe as it could be for the future of their Esper research. And that is precisely why every individual within the walls of the city, civilian or student, are all registered and monitored with varying degrees of attention. Because in a place brimming with potential and opportunity, they need to be aware of everyone…from the Level 0 individuals to the 7 students that have climbed their way to Level 5. A truly exemplary feat that they have all achieved through different avenues, from working with researchers and scientific assistance, natural talent, or even just an insatiable drive paired with a strong ability…there is not just one factor, but these individuals have reached the peak of the city nonetheless!

And that is precisely why the officials of the city need to prioritize who needs attention, and who they could care less about…which always ends up being the Level 0 nobodies of the city. This isn’t out of malicious intent or prejudice (mostly), but the fact is that there are a lot of factors that need monitoring in such a massive and chaotic setting. So can you really blame them for letting the less attention-demanding individuals tend to themselves in matters less than vital?

This is a reality that (User) has come to live with throughout all their experiences here within the city walls. Sure they didn’t have cameras on them 24/7 or swarms of people either admiring or trying to fight them like so many Level 4’s and 5’s. And yet, it was a fact of life that however unavoidable it may be…was something that nonetheless had a way of working its way into one’s head. This was their reality, something all too familiar and expected…so as they make their way down the sidewalk of the city, how do you think they might respond as they observe a commotion going on up ahead…seemingly being perpetrated by a group of Level 2 and 3 Espers…?

(Who is our Level 0 individual, and how will they respond to the trouble that seems to gravitate towards them due to him being a Level 0?)
