Chapter 24
Title: Choices...

———————
Mikasa POV (Continuation)
———————
When I see that my date has fallen down I immediately look around. I can't sense anything or anyone… damn it I better use my Hatsu just to be safe.
*fowsh*
A giant teddy bear costume is conjured around my body. The bear is wearing a tophat. It has hands like humans made out of metal. Then I used KEN and my Aura concentrated into a dense defense. With my dense high Aura I can count the people that I know who can get through my defense with one finger.
Together with the defense from my Hatsu even from someone VERY powerful it should be quite hard to injure in just one attack.
I smell the air and… I can't smell anyone… even if they use Zetsu I am able to use my enhanced sense of smell to locate them… this just became dangerous. I should summon my gun and knife…
As I am about to do so. Someone comes from behind a wall in the castle. When I see that face, those glasses and that black suit who seems one size too big… I immediately recognized who it was.
It was 'Sensei' whom I can't sense anything from. Actually now that I really concentrated on him specifically he seems like a normal person… did he lose his nen somehow or… this isn't really Sensei.
I didn't let my guard down and said with my voice... which now because of my Hatsu it is blurred and sounds like a growl. "Tell me something only Jax -sensei would know."
I see him just have a smile on his face. Ha had definitely got that down at least. He just raised his hands in a surrendering way and he said. "That girl that I killed wasn't your real lover was she. She was just your target. You have really become a good blacklist Hunter Mikasa."
I just narrowed my eyes and said. "I SAID say something that only Sensei would know."
He just released a tired sigh and said. "When you were young you always liked my cooking, you also used your favourite toy that I gave you to create your Hatsu. Also when you were young one time when you wok-."
I immediately interrupted what he was about to say. "OK OK I believe you."
He doesn't need to say embarrassing things like that. So he definitely is Jax -sensei.
*sigh*
I just sit down and say to sensei. "Why did you have to do that. You could have come out and identified yourself sooner. I wouldn't have had to summon my Hatsu."
He just smiles and…
*fwosh*
...He appears next to me. He is also sitting down. I didn't see him move at all… he has gotten even stronger. He crossed around 30 metres in a split second.
He also knows that when I summon this Hatsu of mine I put a condition on it that when summoned I cannot take it off for 24 hours.
When he sits down next to me he just casually says something shocking. "I am planning to go to the Dark Continent in the future."
As soon as he said that my body shakes a little… he always talked a lot about the Dark Continent but I never thought he would want to go to it. He always said that it was a dangerous place with the chance of survival below 1%.
I just look at him… I don't want sensei to die. He is the person who gave me freedom and took me away from a place that can only be described as hell… I would have died or be ra*ped multiple times by now if it wasn't for sensei. I can't let him go to the Dark Continent. I CAN'T LET HIM DIE.
He is my most precious person in this world. I would give my life for him. But why would he want to go to that place. It does have things that would be able to revolutionise the Human World as we know it but… I know that Sensei doesn't care for the human race. So even though I know the dreaded answer… but even though I knew I just wanted to hear a different answer… so I asked the question to sensei. "But sensei… why would you want to even go there."
He just looks into my eyes and says. "I have almost reached my limit here. The growth that I experience is minimal. My power has started stagnating… so I must go to a place where I can become stronger."
I always knew it... sensei… no not sensei… the person Jax... has always been seeking an absolute power even though he didn't say it out loud. His obsession with power is abnormal. Even while teaching me he was always also nonstop training himself to become stronger. He has fought a countless number of beasts just to try abd rause his fighting experience and strength.
Then my big teddy bear head just looks down… and I ask another question again. "When are you planning to go to the Dark Continent."
He just answers casually. "Well I am currently twenty six years old so I will wait until I am in my thirties to go there. Afterall I need to prepare some things."
Tears come out of my eyes inside my suit while I ask him my last question. "And for what reason did you come here."
He just lies down on the cold stone as he looks at the stars. Then he just extends his hand towards the sky while saying. "I don't have a lot of people that I care for in this world… not even my birth parents. But I might die in the Dark Continent so I just wanted to let you know and warn you… to not follow me if I die on there. I have never said it out loud but my dream is to become the strongest creature in the world... I have started stagnating lately... and I hate that… in around half a decade I probably won't get any stronger. So I just wanted you to go and live your own life. I saved you but you don't owe me anything. I want you to have a family and be happy. Maybe name a kid after me… that would be nice."
Then he gets up with his usual smile not on his face then he says with a serious voice. "This might be the last time we meet so…"
While walking away he waves towards me.
"Bye bye."
When he said that I got up and wanted to say something to him… JUST SAY SOMETHING… but I couldn't… so I fell down on my knees.
*bam*
Hitting the rock floor below me and breaking it. Emotions that I haven't felt in a long time formed in my chest. Absolute SADNESS and DESPAIR… I was about to lose the person I care most about in this world. Not only someone that was my teacher… he was also my father, brother, mother and everything else… he was my world… tears wouldn't stop flowing from my eyes… knowing that he would be walking to his own death…
My sadness was giving me physical pain as I felt as if my heart was about to burst… I couldn't help it as a cry of despair came out of my throat. "DAMN IT…."

AUTHOR NOTE:
We see the usual calm and collected Mikasa cry in despair. She thinks that the person she loves most is about to walk to his own death. Someone she would give her life to is about to die.
P.S: We see that Mikasa truly loves the MC a lot.
IMMPORTANT: This is Mikasa's POV, don't assume what Jax is doing just from her perspective. Like with the last Chrollo POV, don't assume that the MC is doing what Chrollo thinks that he is doing.
THIS STORY IS COMPLETED ON PATREÒN.
