So first of all, i have to seriously apologize because of how slowly this next chapter is being worked on. I had to take a summer calculus 2 course over the summer and even though i am doing pretty well in it, it has taken up alot of time. So to start this brief little announcement off, i am sorry that this next chapter taking so long. So onto more pressing matters. Recently i have noticed two reviews from guests "20smasher6" and "railgun87w" that in pretty simple terms, criticizes a key aspect of this story. Now i am not pissed at these people, actually very happy that they said some of the things they said, i have needed a review that tells me whats wrong for a long time now. So this is not going to be about calling them out on them being wrong, its actually to thank them and to set a few things straight. First of all, if you are reading this story and have not read the first part of this trilogy, "Ace of Academy City" please do, i believe it will clear up many things.

Now onto their main point. What they basically said is that i am making Touma and Mikoto way to power in this story, that its ruining the experience of them interacting in a new world. To be frank, i fully intended for Mikoto to be as powerful as she is, i wanted her to be able to have a fighting chance at the title of strongest person in their world. Their complaint to that was that their perception of a level 6 mikoto shouldnt even be able to take on all the guilds at once, let alone a level 5 Mikoto. To set this record straight, at level 5, her POWER is not strong enough to beat all of them. At best i put her straight power on par with either laxus or Jura when she is at full power level 5. Her real strength is in her ability to move at such speeds that the wizards cant even fathom, and in the quality of her ability. Mikoto doesnt run out of electrical power, she can get tired and go into run away, but after the massive amounts of training she has done since she first meet Raiden, that wont really be a factor. Take in Level 6, which at most is 100 times her max level 5 power, which by the way means 100 times to ALL stats, she can outlast her opponents, be faster than any of them, and at the very least match their power, maybe even exceed it. Does that mean she is invincible, no, definitely not. her magic, except for her guardian summon, has a crucial weakness, it has very low endurance. I have made multiple examples of this throughout the story, and will continue to be a key point. She may have increased her magic stamina going into the grand magic games, but because of her status as an esper, it will always be on the low side.

Now onto touma. Honestly he is a very hard Character to right for in this situation. I dont want him to be overpowered in the same way as Mikoto, but I dont want him to be only good for blocking magic attacks. Even in the anime, Touma was a good hand to hand fighter, able to take on accelerator among others. This was also advanced through the Ace of Academy City story, where he spent most of his time training with Mikoto. He may not be as good as her, but even a more person training with someone like that for so long, will improve significantly. A Question you may ask is why didnt i just give him the ability to use magic. Well the answer to that is in his imagine breaker. If he could both use magic and completely nullify it, then why would Mikoto ever be needed? I had to balance him out a bit so i gave him that shield to use. Now that shield, basically neutralizes all physical attacks made against it, as i modeled it after Captain Americas shield in the movies. Thats what gave touma the ability to go into a physical fight with people that have immense strength and at least last for a bit. Now when it comes to most of his fights, he hasnt straight up won any. Most of the time his only goal was to delay or hold back his opponents, so i think his character built as i did fits well into that story.

So finally we come to the end of this. I want to know what all of you truly think, whether your just a guest that reads this story or one of the dozen followers to this story. did i make Touma and Mikoto too powerful? OR do you think they are balanced where they are? I need to know your answer to this, so whether you a guess, or a member of this site, p[lease leave a review to this announcement and tell me. I cant just continue on like this was never a problem, especially since i plan on Mikoto becoming stronger before this story is over.

So to end it all, have a good night and please leave even a small response to this, i need some answers.

To railgun87w, i get what your saying, and respect your opinion, but to tell me that i should never have been allowed on this website just because this story is the way that i made it, is incredibly rude and hurtful. I dont write this story because i feel like im good at writing, or because i think my story is amazing, i write it because its fun to make and i have found a small group of people that enjoy it as much as I do. To say something like that to a person just looking to enjoy themselves, is incredibly wrong and i am sorry to say that i will be deleting the review because of that small comment at the end. I had no problem with your criticize, but i will never stand for. I sincerely hope you are not this way to every story that you just happen to dislike for various reasons.
