AWA Application

Later that day Mia got off the bus with a silent thanks to the bus driver. He walked up to the door as the bus drove away. Mia unlocked and opened the door being able to hear his dad get off the phone, putting it down then sighing. Mia walked in to see his dad sitting in a dining table chair with his phone on the table beside him

"Hey dad, whats up? you good?" Mia looked at his dad.

"Yeah… It's time…" Aisuru looks up to the ceiling with closed eyes

"for what?" he looked at his dad who sighed once again.

"The AWA (Awakened World Agency)... contacted me… I just got off the phone with them… Im sorry but… We have to move to Japan… You've been selected for the next semester…" Mia looked at his dad in shock as it hit him, he was moving away from his friends. Mia's eyes widen as his hair started sparking, eventually erupting into small patches of blue flame. 

"NO!... I'm not leaving my friends!!" Mia wipes his eyes and running up the stairs. Putting his head into a pillow. 

Eventually his dad opened the door and walked in and sat on his bed beside him.

"Don't worry, you still have until the end of this school year" Mia looked up with slight anger towards his father.

"That's still only a few months, and what about our home,..? and mom's legacy…?" His eyes started to tear up at the thought of his mom.

"The AWA is paying for housing and transport. I'll stay behind to finish paying off bills then I'll come to Japan and we can start again…" there was silence.

"What about my high school?... and my friends?..." He plopped his face back into the pillow.

"Will I even compare in strength to some of the students there?" Mia's dad sighs thinking to himself.

"You can video call your friends as much as you want… and as for your high school, The AWA doubles as a secondary college campus… So you'll get that while there as well…" Mia sprung up from the bed in shock.

"While i'm at it… Until school starts, you'll be spending the summer living with the Principal of the AWA facility" Mia sits in absolute disbelief.

The next day Nohan saw Mia on the stairs seeming to be down and out about something. He walked over and sat down in their iconic spot, it was lunchtime and everyone was in the hallways chatting.

"Hey man, you okay?" Nohan sitting down beside Mia.

"No, no I'm not…" He looked at Nohan as some students started whispering.

"Why not?" he was concerned but also worried as Mia is never like this. Unless he is embarrassed, which never happens.

"I'm moving to Japan at the end of the school year… the AWA finally got a hold of my dad yesterday… And I was elected as a student for the next semester…" He looked down once again. As the whispering got louder

"What!?'' At this point Mia wasn't paying attention as an intense aura was felt coming from down the hall. Nohan noticing it as the whispers got louder. Mia stopped Nohan from stepping out into the way as a giant 6 foot 2 military brute came walking into sight who seemed to be looking for something, eventually stopping to look at Mia and Nohan. He walked over and patted the back of his head.

"Hello, I'm new here, my name is Ryuuji Hakao. And I'm looking for Rue Achlys… do you know where he is?" He looked at Mia who stayed quiet not wanting to talk at that moment. Nohan stepped forward.

"That's me… call me Nohan…" The tall figure glared down before leaning down and laughing.

"Oh, oh man!... I … can't.. St.. stop lau...ghing" Nohan was surprised as the brute calmed down

"...sorry… I wasn't expecting you to be so energetic… you look like the person who would be willing to kill to get his point across… Oh… and Miss. Whilingferd needs you…" Nohan was surprised. Did his teacher get mad at him for not turning in the test on time? Albeit, it is math class so he didn't know what to expect.

"Oh, ok! Thanks" He looked at the big guy with a smile and ran off. The big guy then looked at Mia, spooking him.

"Hey you, what's your name?" Mia looked down hoping not to talk to the beast of a man in front of him. Ryuuji leaned down to be eye level with the student in front of him when a girl walked up behind him and touching his shoulder spooking him. She leaned over and whispered into his ear.

"Hey, be careful, he's an awakened!" she stood up and hurried away as Ryuuji stood up wondering what his ability could be. He sat down and there was a silence between them, Ryuuji not knowing what to ask and Mia to scared to ask.

[1 month Later]

Mia was late to lunch as usual, like always meeting up with each other at which was known by everyone in the school as "the scary table." Mia only sat there with Nohan and Ryuuji just, showed up and sat with them. Mia sat down at the almost empty table and greeted his friends.

"What took you so long this time?" Nohan asked Mia as he started eating. Mia swallowed his food before answering the desired question.

"I had to finish a test… you know I'm not all that smart…" He slightly laughed as he took another bite of his cold sandwich. 

"Nice joke, Kat" The other two laughed nervously as they remembered what time was soon coming upon them. 

"Hey, Kat…" Mia looked up as Nohan grabbed his attention.

"We really will miss you…" He looked at Ryuuji who continued.

"I- we both hate that you have to leave, and we know there is no escaping that-" he was interrupted by Mia who finished his sandwich before speaking up.

"Look, I know you guys are sad that i'm going to japan next week… but… look what we have accomplished together, this last year in middle school… with you guys… my friends. I've had more fun this last year than ever before… and I will remember this time spent with you forever. So… why don't we spend this last week together as if it were the last few days of our lives?" he smiled at his friends who were almost in tears at his speech, they threw away their food they had finished previously and hugged him tightly, they smiled in their tight hug and accepted his request before he left.
