Right-o, never got an answer to my question from last thread, I realized. Anyway, why is the City of Academies manufacturing ESPers again? I know they were using them to fight a war, but it's peacetime now.

I ask because it's fundamentally important to Ren's backstory, and I need it to finish up skills and use as reference for a small fraction of the personality sector.

EDIT: 
Also, just curious, who'd rather have me write the ESP-bit I'm putting together in the form of some professor/teacher teaching a class with a more snarky tone, rather than the psuedo-document version I did last time?
