Not on the same Level. Yeah, right. The creation of Level 6 which is basically the highest you get in the Science Side is not on the same level as an attempt to wipe out mankind, by first reaching one of the highest positions in the Magic Side.

Oh, yeah, and Gensei without even trying, indirectly at least twice almost destroying Academy City, and partially responsible the deaths of thousands of the Sisters certainly doesn't qualify him for roughly same danger level. Even pulling of all of this without even having any supernatural powers. One surely would last in Academy City's Dark Side long with that attitude towards likes of Gensei, regarding the danger they pose...

You sure Mikoto hasn't gained any boost in power as a side effect? I read the translation myself as well a few days ago... Oh, yeah I don't remember Gensei caring about anything else other than achieving Level 6.

Nor the I remember saying that Mikoto and her well being is particularly important to Aleister. I meant her being used in battle as a replacement for Hyouka, should she be unable to manifest herself for some reason, would not even be considered by Aleister until an emergency situation (ever heard of GREMLIN?), when he would hypothetically decide to improvise with what he has. You said it yourself, he only considers her a tool, why should have the slightest bit of shame from the thought of using as a weapon.

(Sarcasm mode)People who use other people as weapons have this strange tendency to also call them '(killing) tools'.

But, I admit I made my post too vague. For some...
