[There's no way Radio Noise wasn't some sketchy shit. Now that it's all over, Accelerator regrets not trying to look further into it. After all, who the hell could've stopped him if he tried?
But he didn't, and he can't here, so it isn't worth dwelling on.
Accelerator draws in a deep breath before plunging into something he's deliberately avoided talking about since he showed up here. There isn't a way around it now, though.]
First-ranked level 5 is the highest. So Railgun, being the third-ranked, makes her the third strongest esper in Academy City, and therefore the world.
[Which sounds like it isn't something to shake a stick at, but his tone is dulled, like that isn't impressive in the least to him.]
The lowest level is 0. At level 0 you're technically an esper, but your power is either so weak it might as well be nonexistent, or it is nonexistent. Aside from their AIM diffusion fields they're basically just normal people. That's about sixty percent of espers, so - [Doing the math here without skipping a beat.] - 1.38 million of them. Levels 1 and 2 have really basic power that's functionally useless. Think being able to bend a spoon and nothing else. Level 3s are strong enough that their ability is useful in everyday life, and level 4s have combat potential and tactical value in a military force. A level 5 can take on a military alone on equal terms. There's seven level 5s in existence.
[He stares down at his crutch, and since he's leaning against the wall decides to just take the thing off. He doesn't need it right now, and he needs the distraction of rubbing his forearm so he doesn't have to look at either Leo or Donnie.]
The Sisters are all level 2 and 3. I'm the first-ranked level 5.
