Chereads / That Legendary Man / Chapter 24 - Breakfast

Chapter 24 - Breakfast

"That smells… really good… smells like pancakes" he puts on a robe and opens the door into the hallway. He takes a few steps before reaching the stairs and quickly following them down to the bottom. He takes a deep breath and takes in the smell of pancakes. He turns the corner to the main living space where only a few people are awake. He turns to look in the makeshift kitchen where Fuyuno and Yosu were making box pancakes.

"If you guys are making box pancakes be sure to follow the instructions thoroughly, I prefer my pancakes fluffy and covered with syrup to a T" Mia sat down on the couch beside Itsumi who was half asleep and Maito who was watching the news.

"Why so specific Mia?" They continued making pancakes on pancakes for every student in AWA.

"I just like them like that, nothing else to it'' Mia looks at the t.v as yosu sigh and smile as Fuyuno bumps her shoulder and smirks. Mia has his arm over the back of the couch as a news report comes up.

"Thank you, Mr. Armel" Mia feels like he recognizes the name but isn't sure.

"In recent reports, several bodies have been found across the city, 4 in counting. All of the bodies were once highly popular Agents who lost their fame. The identities of these Agents are kept secret until further notice due to privacy concerns. In other terms, every body was found with sword or dagger slashes over the chest and across the neck… that's all for us here in the Saitama prefecture… thank you for your time" Mia was in shock looking around at the surprise of Itsumi and Maito.

"That's so sad, who would do that?" There was silence as Yosu and Fuyuno kept making even more pancakes.

"It was probably for a bounty… I guess" Itsumi turned to Mia.

"Why would you suggest that? Bounty hunting of all things?" Mia sighed and nodded before looking back up at the TV.

"When villains were attacking the SSUDSJ, I heard -albeit barely- I heard one of the villains talk about bounties" Yosu came out from the kitchen and set up the table.

"But why and what would the SSUDSJ villains be bounty hunting for? Mr. Akido? He is an Agent" there was silence until they heard steps from the stairs in which Ryuuji turned the corner.

"Mia's right, the villains that attacked us said something about AWA students having a bounty on their heads" Maito grits his teeth and stands up.

"Guess that's what it's like being the best of the best aye?" he pounds his fist into the palm of his other hand. A grin on his face similar to none other than King.

"Guess so, imma have to watch you make sure you don't end up killing those poor villains" Mia stood up and walked over to the table.

"Hey Itsumi, Ryuuji, can you wake up everyone else?" Ryuuji agreed and went to wake everyone else with the help of Itsumi. 

After a few minutes the whole class was awake and at the table eating pancakes. Everyone enjoyed the pancakes which Mia found were decent. He gave Yosu and Fuyuno a few tips on how to make better pancakes. Over time they all finished and went on their own way. Mia ended up sitting on the couch with a few other students.

"Wow… that was a really good breakfast." Mia exhaled and smiled as Ryuuji laughed.

"Yup, you'd be the one to say something along the lines of that" the laugh slowly turned into a chuckle. Ryuuji and Mia turn to look at each other then at Itsumi and Toshi, who was fidgeting with his long green hair.

"Hey Itsumi… Toshi, wanna have a 2v2?" Ryuuji jumps and looks at Mia. Toshi looks at Itsumi.

"Okay, i'm with Ryuuji, Itsumi is with you Mia" Mia smiles as Itsumi jerks his head around not getting a say in this.

"Okay, I'll meet you in gym gamma with King." Toshi and Ryuuji nod and stand up as Mia follows suit. Mia turns around and runs up the stairs. He enters his Dorm room and walks up to a wall. On the wall on a stand was a sword. The sword had a black sheath with blue accents and a blue handle.

"I think it's about time I give you a test run." He took a deep breath and slowly picked the sword off of its holding. The sword was heavier than what he was used to with the wooden sword. He smiled and attached the sword to his belt and continued on his way out the door.
