The Problem with Being a Level 5

"Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter because nobody listens."

- Nick Diamos

"Wait, so I'm being called by the big man himself? Alright, now is the perfect time to assassinate him!" Kelvin skipped around a girl with long red hair laughably because his trench coat kept hitting his shins. They were talking in the night around a random lamp post on a random sidewalk.

"No, you won't, Kelvin. He wants to talk to you about something and I guarantee you that it's not about his death," said the girl. She wore a pink crop top and a pleated skirt. She had long, dark orange hair tied into a pair of ponytails. The distinguishing features were a white belt around her skirt which had a military flashlight strapped on it and a black coat over her shoulders that kind of looks like a cape on her.

"Oh really," Kelvin commented sarcastically, "I didn't know that at all… Well, fine then. Since he is Awaki's employer, I'll let him go for this time. I can't exactly let you get out of such an important job right now. On that note, can't you put on your uniform, it must be freakin' freezing out here."

"I'd really hate it if you killed any of my affiliates, especially if they are the leader of the science faction of the two sides. Also no, I won't. I like actually getting the feeling of the wind and it makes me look a little more badass," deadpanned Awaki, "And you're probably only saying that so then I wouldn't know that you're just getting turned on by me."

Kelvin sighed, "I really don't understand you guys at all. I mean you're badass enough to be a 'potential' level 5, that's got to mean something. Meanwhile my title as 'Second Weakest Level 5' isn't really that cool; there are too many syllables." The last remark earned him a fist to the face.

"You deserved that."

"Ow, fine geez. Okay how about this, I don't make any intent to kill him for now and you put on your uniform so then I won't get 'turned on' by your lame physique." That got him a kick to the face. "Wait! Stop! No more! Why don't we just go to Mister Crowley's place?"

Musujime Awaki grabbed Kelvin by the collar and said, "Could you please not cause any trouble while were there? I mean there's no need for violence and I don't want to see a friend get hurt,"

"Ooh, you actually consider me as a friend. That's nice."

She let go of Kelvin's collar and looks away for a moment, "You can also consider this as payback for you not helping me with my problems."

"Hey, hey, hey. I didn't say I wasn't going to help you, only when the time comes where I can free them is when I'll help you. So why don't we just go over there and leave this conversation hanging for the moment? You know what, I'll even give you my sword here so I won't have a means to kill him," Kelvin offered as he grabbed a sword with a black sheath placed on it that was hidden in his coat and gestured it to her. She took the sword and held onto his left arm. Three seconds pass and they disappeared with the sound of a fwoom.


Aleister Crowley stares straight ahead and the young man with the Hawaiian shirt looks to the side as they see Kelvin and Musujime. Kelvin whispers to her, "Thanks, Awaki. I will definitely help out a friend in need; you just have to wait for my opportunity. GROUP and the Board of Directors, right…?" She smiles somewhat and nods to him.

He then walks up and bows. "Hello, my name is Kelvin Lei, and I am the second weakest level 5 in the city." A second passed and Kelvin curiously stared at Crowley. "Ah yes, just as I remembered. 'Looks like both an adult yet also a child, like a man yet also a woman, like a saint yet also a criminal'. Hmm, good times."

"Why did you bring the sixth strongest esper here, nya? You really expect him to work for you, nya?" the young man with the sunglasses asked.

"Oi! Oi! Oi! Why am I being badmouthed by some random dude?" as the trench coat wearing teen rubs the backside of his head confused by the turn of events. "Oh wait; you're that Tsuchimikado Motoharu guy! Yes, the one that's a spy for everyone or something awesome like that." He proceeds to give a thumbs-up to the aloha shirt guy.

"Anyways," interjects the man in the tube, "Aside from the discussion of what professions that we all have, I would like to give you a proposition. It is t-"

"-Hey, you know who and what I am. There's no way I would ever work for somebody like you," interrupts Kelvin.

"He's right, y'know. The man is a revolutionary and he doesn't like leaders much-nya," Tsuchimikado added with a smile.

"I do realize the differences in our political affiliations, but I think that we could reach a compromise in this proposal," Crowley replied.

"Working for you or anybody else is not in my plans though. Screw you and you're proposal, I'm leaving. Awaki, let's go." She suddenly stood straight at the sound of her name while staring at the other three.

As Kelvin starts to turn and walk away, he raised his left hand to his mouth and bit his thumb towards Aleister. When the kid in the long coat were a few steps away from the teleporting girl, Aleister suddenly says, "We know where you're boss is." The teen stops in his steps as he turns around so then Crowley and Kelvin stares at each other. Tsuchimikado, a spectator that's now leaning against a wall, is surprised at the turn of events.

"Really…" He looks away for a moment disgruntled and looks back with determination, "Well then, what do I have to do to keep him alive?"

"All you have to do is listen to and accept my proposal, and then you'll be on your way," replies Aleister with a Cheshire Cat-like grin.

The kid thought hard for a few moments, "… Ok fine. I'll listen to you."

"Good, now I would like you to accept this proposal, too. You are to form a group for special optics. You are to follow the orders of me only and/or do something that benefits the well-being of Academy City itself. That is the simplest way to put this; also you are able to recruit any person you would like into your group. It doesn't matter if you're group has magicians or espers," the man in the tube explained.

For a few moments there was silence, and then Kelvin smirks saying, "Alright, then that means I get to look into every profile of each esper in this city, right?" As Aleister approved of the action Tsuchimikado's face seemed to have brightened at that point, too.

"Great, then I'll see you later about the orders. Right now I want to find all of my teammates. Well then, I bid you all adieu," Kelvin bows and turns back around to touch Awaki. Three awkward seconds pass and the two disappear.

Tsuchimikado then gets up and says, "Man, I just figured out that I could've left at any moment, nya."


"Well it's been about two hours since I've seen the hidden monarch and I'm still searching for people to use…" Kelvin sighed as he looked through the profiles of every esper in Academy City on a computer screen that takes up almost an entire wall. He left his trench coat on the chair. He had a long-sleeved shirt with an Asian dragon on it with baggy red and green pants. Kelvin's in a random lab that was prepared for him so he could research about the population of the city. Apparently the scientists that were doing other research there were kicked out and told to come back the next day.

"So what did you get as candidates-nya?" asked a familiar laid back voice. Tsuchimikado's leaning on a wall in the lab.

Kelvin then hands Tsuchimikado his list of potential members, "Well… I got these guys for now. They are: Juufiko Miho that has an invisibility power; Edasaki Banri with telepathy; Haruue Erii also has telepathy; Kinuhata Saiai that somehow is a weaker version of Accelerator; Nunotaba Shinobu who is a great actor; and Hamazura Shiage that is just a level zero. But I'm not exactly done looking at everybody yet."

The Hawaiian shirted guy looks through the list in a rather board way until he noticed an odd pattern. "Wait, why are all these guys levels 0 through 4? Wouldn't it be better for a covert unit to have stronger members-nya?" He raised his eyebrow expecting an answer.

"Well, it's not that I hate level 5s or anything, it's just that they are the ones that can't evolve. Level 5 is the level cap for basically all of us, so there is no need to actually consider those inconsiderate douchebags anyways. It's much more fun to watch your pets develop from babies to adults than to get one that's already an adult," Kelvin explains in a matter-of-fact way, "Oh yes, there aren't that many Level 5s in the first place… So yeah."

"I see what you mean. Well I'm tired now anyways and I've lost interest in your tasks, nya. See ya later!" Tsuchimikado says as he leaves Kelvin to his research. "Don't think that Aleister isn't going to screw you over. He probably has dozens of plans for you to die since you're one of the only good level 5s, nya."

"Aren't you a level 5? You don't hate yourself do you?" inquires teen wearing the sunglasses

"Not really, though I do resent myself for being a part of this. I mean it's only good if you're the top three or the weakest of the Level 5s. Now I don't like my spot of being sixth or being the second weakest. There's two reasons for that: It doesn't sound that powerful for the first one and there are too many syllables for the other. I mean I'd rather be the weakest than the second weakest Level 5. It rolls off of the tongue better. Also it's annoying how everybody expects mo-"

"-Yea, yea. I got it already. Well let's just say that I'm using him, too. We're going to see how far we've planned for each other's actions," replied the teen. Tsuchimikado stops and looks back at researching person.

"And another thing: Is that boss guy very important to you, enough so that you would work for the man that you hate-nya?"

"You could say that. He's a guy that I'll have to keep away from the Board of Directors," answered Kelvin.

"Alright then, I think you probably know this already but don't get yourself killed, nya." Tsuchimikado does leave this time around.

"Thanks, you too. Now then, back to finding more cannon fodder. Heh heh."


A/N: Oooh, what is Kelvin planning? What's up with his hypocritical attitude with Level 5s? Will this story actually make sense at the end? I'm also asking for good critiques, some ideas to this story, and maybe some things I could explain if any of this confuses you.
