As Anyr says, even being one of the illustrious Level 5s doesn't guarantee recognition. A character with foresight might be able to familiarize himself with such people since I suspect that somewhere in Academy City is some sort of database that contains a photo of each of the Level 5s and what they can do (though such data may not exactly be public).


No problems with Kenta, then?
