The three classes split up to their buses in three lines entering the bus. Mia got on the bus and sat at the back, Yosu sitting to his right, and Yu sitting to his left. Yu looks at Mia as the bus starts and the door closes.
"So Mia right? You're like the role model of 1-A right now man, that's real manly" Mia looks at Yu then looks down.
"Eh… I wouldn't say the role model… There isn't really a reason for me to be on that high horse" Yu blinks a bit and stares at him.
"What do you mean by that… 'really no reason' are you saying that your here for no reason at all?" Mia sighs as Yosu looks at him.
"I'm not really sure what I want to do… initially I wanted to be an artist or animator… but… then my dad got a job here in japan and recommended me here to AWA so I wouldn't get bullied at the other high schools in the area… I don't know what kind of Agent I want to be yet… all I have is determination not to die and a strong ability… That's that" a tear runs down Yosu's face as she violently shakes her head: Mia turns to look at her.
"Mia… You'll find your way eventually… I know you will… Thats the Mia I know… The Mia i'm Friends with… The Mia who never gives up despite the outlook of his situation… You're more than just a strong quirk and determination… You have a strong and caring heart that always cares for others despite his own hurt… You may not know it right now but… But-... You'll find out and become the Agent You wanna be Mia… Just be you!" by this point Yosu was full on crying as Mia is surprised.
"Uh, Y-Yosu… Y-You don't have to cry!" Mia goes to hug her but stops and doesnt know what to do. Mia looks at Yu who smirks. Yosu wipes her eyes as Mia taps her shoulder and hands her a small tissue.
"I always have tissues in my hoodie if you need them. Yosu" Mia smiles as Yosu blushes and grabs a tissue quickly turning away. Mia looks at Yu who is giving Mia a look.
"What?" he turns to look back at Yosu who's smiling at the small tissue.
"It's… it's so tiny" she wipes her eyes with it and smiles.
"Thanks Mia… sorry about that" Mia blushes and stares at her smiling before shaking his head and turning away; His ear twitching. Yuu burst into laughter while covering his mouth. King turns to look at the 3.
"Can you guys shut up and stop it with the romance s--t" both Yosu and Mia's face turn red as Ryuuji chuckles from his seat. The bus stops and the students all get off the bus.
"Okay… I understand this is a new AWA facility but i'm still in… We're still in charge of you Fools… feel free to explore the facility… but return as soon as I make the announcement as we only have limited time here and some sections are still unfinished and need tested… like the bathroom plumbing… so be aware of where you go here… have fun… see you soon" some of the students pause for a moment as others rush into the facility. Mia stays behind a bit before entering.
He took firm steps knowing he was the only one nearby. He looks around as Nohan comes into his mind. He thinks about how he could have helped Nohan and changed his path to something better. He shakes his head as he starts humming to the piano and guitar melody he made a few weeks ago. He looks around some wires hanging from missing roof tiles.
"I'm surprised they're still working on this place this close to the sports festival… literal wires hanging from the ceiling… jeez" he sighs as he thinks about Yosu from earlier. He puts his hands behind his head.
"I'll find what kind of Agent I wanna be eventually huh?... im still not sure what kind of Agent I wanna be… she's right though… im my own person and I don't have to be exactly what everyone expects me to be… but all this pressure of being the #1 in class? That just makes it all worse…" Mia sighs and takes a deep breath.
"Maybe i'll come up with something during the sports festival…" he pauses "the hero… I wanna be…" he was silent for a minute only the sounds of his footsteps echoed through the empty halls.
"So? Whatever happened to that desire to be an Animator?" a figure turns around a turn up ahead and looks directly at Mia.
"Wait a sec… Nohan?... is that You?" his now longer black hair was parted off to the side as he stared at Mia. His eyes were a lighter shade of red with bags under them. His skin was more dull than it used to be and he had scars down both of his arms.
"At least you recognize me this time" he had a black mask and bodysuit on with a large sword on his back and 2 blue sheathed swords on his waist. His boots were covered in sharp metal up til his knee. He had a dark gray utility belt. Around his neck was an off red scarf. Mia clenches his fist and closes his eyes.
"Why?... Why did you do this, Nohan?" he stared at Mia.
"What convinced you to take this path!... Killing people for Money is wrong Nohan!... What could I have done to change your path! What could I have done?" he sighed and walked up to Mia.
"What could You have done?... What could you have done!?... Let me tell you Kat!... you're just a bit too late!" Mia looks at him.
"What do you mean??" Requiem grits his teeth and draws his sword walking up in front of Mia.
"Let me say this Kat… How can you save someone who is broken? When you didn't even notice the pain that was OH SO OBVIOUS!" there was a silence as Mia opened his mouth to speak but Requiem continued
"TELL ME… you left your oh so Dear Friend hanging in the pit of despair!" he took a few steps forward backing Mia to the wall.
"I thought- I didnt- I wasn't aware! Im sor-" Requiem jabs the sword into the wall as his hair slowly starts turning red.
"SORRY WON'T DO… SORRY WON'T HELP SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE ALREADY FORGAVE… but I never heard you apologize… you didn't see my pain… MY FATHER KILLED MY MOM!... HE TRIED TO KILL ME!... YOU WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND KAT…" there was a silence as a tear rolls down his cheek
"that's the worst KIND of agent… the strong All Mighty AGENT… WHOS ALWAYS TOO LATE… and is left questioning themselves when they always arrive just a bit… to… late…" Mia looks at the sword covered in scratches and cuts.
"So now you tell me… what kind of hero do you wanna be… think hard… cause i'm the one person… You weren't able to save Because you were 'Too Late'" Mia stares at Requiem as he re-sheaths his sword and turns around to walk away.
"In the world of Agents… villains… and citizens… 'To Late' isn't a thing… either you make it in time to save… or you arrive too late and you lose… that's your choice… as an Agent" he walks back into the shadows of a nearby hallway as Mia could see his hair turn back to its natural Black color. Mia's heart was racing and he was breathing heavily as he slid down the wall and held his head. Mia blinks his eyes. He lifts his head up as his eyes water.
"I guess… Nohan's right" Mia sniffles as he wipes his eyes.
"I was too late to save you Nohan…" Mia wipes his nose as he silently cries. Eventually Mia manages to calm down but still has dry eyes and a partially running nose. He wipes his nose again as he turns around and looks at the wall. He puts his hand over the hole Requiems blade made in the wall.
