Two or so months to be exact.

Damn, I thought the experiment lasted about six months or so. That means they killed an average of over one hundred and sixty six SISTERS every day. That's fuckin' ridiculous, but it's still the kind of bullshit I've learned to expect from the Dark Side of Academy City and it's magical technology.

I guess that the most impressive thing here is how efficient Accel can be when he starts murdering people. Good thing he had actual friends to help him here.
 
[X] Sigh. "We could try to requisition some new ones from the head office, but... Uiharu modded them a lot, and much of the cost came out of her pocket too. It's going to take a lot of time and money to get them up to her standards." Wince. "Plus it looks like you fried her personal computer, too."
-[X] "But you know... you can always get a part time job. You're smart, talented and famous, so it shouldn't be too hard. In fact... I know a place that could certainly use someone with your power and skills..." Offer her a Judgement armband.
-[X] "That aside, I did need to talk to you. Come on, let's getsomewhere private so we can talk. It's rather important."

Maybe Misaka can go outside of Academy city and doing more event like in SS story.

So does Misaki already have a camera out so she can blackmail Misaka later?
 
[X] Sigh. "We'll requisition some new ones from the head office. Uiharu is going to have to work overtime to get them up to her standards, though, and she made a lot of modifications out of pocket, too..." Wince. "Plus it looks like you fried her personal computer. That's between you two, though."
-[X] "Now if I can move on to the reason I was looking for you, can I speak to you in private. It's important."

Like the SIsters said, producing one is a simple matter. You could produce, and program two per vat over a week or so with minimal specialist intervention. We've seen the vat facilities and it's displayed as a room the size of a carpark filled with vats the size of cars.

And Misaka hit something like 30 facilities.
If they really wanted they could produce a thousand esper troopers per week, with the biggest blips being the power draws and people wondering why so many Tokiwadai uniforms are being bought..
 
I am guessing also that since Accelerator said "FUCK NO"
The Kiharas go "Number 2, you're up"

and Kakine killed the clones FASTER
Naw, can't level Kakine the same way. Accelerator's power is to destroy, so XP grinding that way works(but it turned out that his power gets stronger when Protecting instead). Kakine's power is to create, so he needs to make the leap to create himself with his power.

So let's hope number two doesn't get run over by, say three level fives and a ragtag bunch of Judgement.

Seriously, they might try it with Kakine as the project had multiple goals. As I understood it, level 6 was just a distraction that would be useful if it actually happened. The real goal was the SISTER network that would spread outside Academy City when the surviving SISTERs were sent to other research stations. Or something like that, its been a while since I read the relevant light novels.

Basically. But Crowley likes plans where he wins no matter what happens.

Originally distributing the Sisters would make the hosts hesitant, as it's a bunch of mass produced esper soldiers. After the experiments, they were woobie humanitarian efforts(until the Gemstone arc where they simultaneously attacked every facility to rescue the kidnapped Gemstones. And petted a kitty) that nobody would be worried about taking in

That's not quite accurate either. The reason Accelerator would have leveled up from the conflict can be seen from the gains made in the fight - his development of plasma, air control, etc. came from being pushed, from the fight with Touma and the Sisters, in a way he never was. It isn't really 'EXP grinding' so much as him being challenged, and that challenge forcing him to develop new abilities. It's also why the Sisters are so useful, given they have a hive mind and can share information between themselves - it's why even a Level 3 Electromaster managed to momentarily stall Accelerator, with the oxygen removal trick (though the author really didn't portray that learning aspect well - I mean, after over ten thousand deaths they were still attempting to use projectile weaponry on him). And Accelerator can do far more than just destroy - leaving aside the reflection trick as a defense, he's created plasma from air through absurd levels of pressure. That he typically uses the power in combat doesn't mean it has no other use.

Kakine would level up the same way, if Esper power develops in him the same as it does in Accelerator.

Well, issue was that's what they had to work with, and they were problem solving through the Reflection via brute force data gathering on it's qualities. Consider the gunfire thing to be trying to find a loophole in his defense, because all powers SHOULD have some kind of exploitable hole(it does, but finding it by experiment would take thousands of tries to solve around it's kinetic reflection).

We've seen that similar powers tended to have an energy limitation. Accelerator doesn't as long as it's a conventional form of energy. The Sisters were, I think, trying to solve the limitations and loopholes of his power by attacking from different angles and circumstances to find a flaw, whether it can be overloaded, or tricked

And Accelerator can do far more than just destroy - leaving aside the reflection trick as a defense, he's created plasma from air through absurd levels of pressure. That he typically uses the power in combat doesn't mean it has no other use.
It's more of a thing of Accelerator's self image than how it actually works out, but the Accelerator vs Dark Matter conflict was always framed as ultimate destroyer vs ultimate creator.

Or in Mage terms, Forces vs Matter.

That said, his protective nature makes that out to be a lie. A destroyer is Meltdowner, a power which annihilates with extreme efficiency using exotic matter/energy, in any circumstance or range and does nothing else. Accelerator's base power only reaches as far as he can touch, and Reflection is as defensive as it gets.

he really doesn't need to
his power is to make new exotic matter
but he still have to sturdy his ass off to know how to make them and how they interact with stuff
he a crafter,
the more he make the better he get and the better he get the more OP stuff he can make
when he was reduce into a brain, he spent his entire whole time as a brain in a jar making new matter to make himself a new body eventually he figure out how to go White Goo and even do thing like Hive-mind and giant bug monster with laser beam

he a Blacksmith and an Alchemist that want to play as a Tank/Warrior and get kill like a noob

his ego and his desire to be the best seriously nerf him, if he was more patience and more creative he could have beat just about every one save the more OP people in the setting

While this is true - seriously, over ten thousand deaths and they're still following the same general idea?

I suppose it's a way to show just how little the value of a Sister's life was, even in their minds, if they were willing to go through with it.

A destroyer is Meltdowner, a power which annihilates with extreme efficiency using exotic matter/energy, in any circumstance or range and does nothing else.

Technically, she can use her powers for defense, too, by creating shields made out of that power which annihilates anything it comes into contact with. Kinda like the Narutoverse Truth Seeking Ball technique.

Accelerator's base power only reaches as far as he can touch, and Reflection is as defensive as it gets.

Oh, it can get far more defensive and versatile than that, and he's used it for said purposes as well. Movement? Even leaving aside air control and flight, we see him use it to cover large distances in an instant. Alteration of states of matter? Done (Gas to plasma). Rearranging the landscape, for whatever reason? He's done that too, and with far more precision than mere destruction.

It's a highly versatile power. And it's not like 'destruction' is how it grows, either - the gains in the Touma fight show it pretty clearly.

Everyone else does as well, as Kuroko's statements about her power and Capacity Down explains. Every Level 5 esper is, in addition to being a one-man army, a genius. Accelerator, for instance, is the kind of ludicrously capable genius who can map out the vectors of every single individual brain cell in a person's body in real time. The kind where ten thousand people working in parallel can't match the speed of his mind and calculative ability. And he needs this understanding of vectors and this mental alacrity to use his abilities the way he does, and it was also developed over time.

Everyone develops their power through knowledge and understanding. The point is that, when they're pushed to their limit, they either make a breakthrough, find a new possibility for their power in their desperation, or die. Heck, we see this in canon too.

It's a confluence of factors, and the Level 6 Project provides the challenge, pushing the targets of the project to their limits so that they break through. The rest is, and always has been, up to the target - if they're not ready, not capable of understanding or possessing of the requisite knowledge, then they fail. The Level 6 project provides the motivation (a desire to not die, because the Sisters are trying to kill the target), forces the target to be alert and agile in thought, or suffer the consequences.

Kakine would gain from it, much like Accelerator did. It's a period of time where he's constantly working on his abilities and attempting to stay ahead of a hive mind of nearly 20,000 mechanically precise espers whose soul purpose in existence is to kill him. That he would also gain from working by himself is both true and missing the point, because the same is true of every esper, as per Mikoto, merely different in how much they gain (that's the whole point of the Power Development Curriculum). He'll simply gain more this way, because this is a highly intensive course bent towards that one purpose.
