You will be...

The elevator door opened and a black-haired boy stepped out of it.

Kanaru was surprised to observe the place. It was a place completely full of computers and some beds that seemed to be virtual reality, are beds that he always wanted to enjoy some games, but with his pathetic salary of level 1 (recently level 2) and he couldn't afford such a luxury.

And right in the middle was a large desk and a man with dirty blond hair who shamelessly placed both feet on top of it. Souji kept watching Kanaru's expressions, ranging from small curiosity to deep amazement.

"Nee… Kanaru-kun, I know you're curious about the whole equipment here, but that will be for a topic from another time, for now we have to organize the things you've gotten yourself into. To begin, take a seat." Souji said pointing to one of the chairs located in front of him.

"Yes..." Kanaru reacted by responding in a low voice and sat down.

"Okay Kanaru-kun, for starters, let me tell you this one more time: Congratulations on your advancement to level 2!" Souji suddenly exclaimed startling Kanaru.

"Thank you?" Kanaru replied confused.

"Mah... how boring. Advancing level is a good reason to celebrate, you know. I'd like to give you an alcoholic drink, but Amata's bastard would kill me if I start drinking at work. Who knows if he has hidden a camera here" Souji said as he looked around for something, but when he found nothing he continued speaking.

"I know you are confused as to why you were invited/forced to come here. The answer is very easy, it is for a great experiment" Souji said.

Wait, wait. It's one of those things where a person is chosen to enter a secret project to be the strongest in the world and then with his new powers that person will have to be forced to eliminate all the enemies of humanity, right?" Kanaru said sarcastically.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I knew you liked games, but I didn't think you were so immersed in them, besides ... fantasy? I thought you liked romance more." Souji kept laughing as he pointed an index finger at Kanaru.

"Eh... how do you know that?" Kanaru was shocked because no one but him knew it, in the eyes of others he was an average-looking normal student with no particular taste in games or anything special.

"Right, you don't know. I've been watching you these days. You see, ever since Tree Diagram pointed you out as the only candidate to complete this project successfully, I have had my eyes focused solely on you." Souji said.

"Tree Diagram… the best super computer in the world? That supercomputer said I'm the one... but why?" Kanaru asked deliberately ignoring a severe privacy violation case.

"Yes! You were chosen thanks to your ability 'recovery' to carry out this project, Dark Matter Project." Souji said.

"..." Kanaru was speechless.

"Hello, hello. Don't be so surprised, tell me… what do you know about the level 5 espers?" Souji asked.

"I know that they are the best that this academy has to offer, they're the strongest of all people in Academy City; there are only 7 of them." Kanaru came out of the daze and answered something that every Academy City citizen knows.

"Yes! Does the name Kakine Teitoku ring a bell?" Souji asked with a big smile.

"If I remember correctly, he is rank 2 of level 5, right? The one who possessed the Dark Matter ability… wait!" Kanaru realized something important.

"DING! DING! We have a winner! Dark Matter Project aims to create the best esper in the world, a level that no one has reached, the kingdom of God... Level 6! And all thanks to you and Dark Matter who will serve as the foundation for the other abilities of level 5 users!" Souji suddenly stood on top of the desk and started to exclaim to Kanaru.

"That's impossible! I can't be as strong as those monsters, that's not a game! My only ability is to recover the wounds of any living, but I only can heal small wounds; it's absurd that with my ability I can achieve all that" Kanaru got upset for the first time and abruptly stood up, he felt humiliated, his ability was always considered rubbish and what he never liked was that other people spoke sarcastically about it.

"Problems at school, huh? Well… it doesn't matter, you'll stop going there anyway" Souji said.

"Why would I stop attending my school?" Kanaru asked

"Um... well, you see... we need time. The people who participated in this project 2 years ago died because they couldn't bear the changes in their personal reality, but you are different... you can recover from all that!" Souji exclaimed.

"What part of that I can only heal minor injuries don't you understand, asshole?" Kanaru said with a change in his tone of voice.

"Hahahaha. I know that now your ability is one of the most useless, but your ability has a wide margin for improvement, that is the purpose of you staying here all the time, I'll improve you to the maximum. I'll not make the same mistakes that idiots made with Dark May Project." Souji said as he pulled an object out of his pocket.

"What the hell are you talking about? What's that about Dark May Project? You don't tell me many things, but you demand that I do what no one could with so little information, I'm not a super genius. Wait… what are you going to do with that?" Kanaru was alarmed to see the object that Souji was holding, he only saw those things on the internet.

"This toy? It's just so you don't run away from here." Souji said and pulled the trigger.

*BANG!*

Immediately a bullet came out of the gun and quickly hit Kanaru's forehead and he fell to the ground.

"It was just a rubber bullet, take easy... the real game is about to begin. It will take a while and a lot of money to improve your healing ability to its peak, but hey… we have all the time and money in the world! Hahahaha." Souji dragged Kanaru into a room taking advantage of his unconscious state.

"You will be the best of all!"

No one could answer him.
