Rank #3 Agent: POLE

"Wanna train with me?" His smile then disappeared as his face took on that of an Agent who had seen stuff that none had ever imagined. In fear, all Mia could do was accept the man's request for a match. Labryce smiled once again as he pointed down the walkway. Mia repositioned his stance and followed his uncle out the door and into an open spot in the middle of the garden where Labryce stood in the center. The spot was surrounded by plants and manicured trees.

"It's so pretty…" He looked around before the Agent's voice caught his attention.

"It is, I brought you out here because I wanted to see that magnificent power of yours" he smiled and winked towards Mia as Mia became embarrassed that a top ranked Agent wanted to see his power. He stood on the opposite side of the courtyard garden. Then noticing two little heads poking over the bushes trying to watch the fight, obviously the twins. He looked back over at Labryce who had just finished putting his hair in a bun. And sliding his left foot to the side.

"Are you ready?" he smiled at Mia who jumped into a fighting stance.

"I am now!" Labryce's smile went away as two large pipes exploded from the ground. Mia barely dodges as Labryce runs straight at him. Stretching his hand out as a Pipe forms. Swinging it around like a sword. Mia reels his fist back as it smokes. Punching Labryce's pipe as the wind picks up. 

Labryce smiles as he swings the Pipe knocking out Mia's feet then hitting him in the side. Mia sliding back and lifting his hand. Increasing the gravity on the field. Labryce obviously slower but seemingly unfazed.

"Nice trick ya got there!" Several large pillars of metal explode from the ground around Mia. Mia lifts his hands as a shockwave echoes out shattering the pillars. Labryce suddenly behind him using a Pipe like a sword.

"How did he-" Labryce smiles as he swings the pipe. Mia covers his face but Labryce stops the attack just inches from Mia's face. Mia in disbelief as the wind picks up for a little bit. Calming down again eventually.

"I win"

Mia steps out of the connected bathroom. His hair drips wet as he gets dressed. The windows let in some light from the rising sun. Mia thinks to himself as he combs his hair and puts it into a bun. Looking out his window at the setting moon over some skyscrapers in Tokyo.

"I guess… It's not a possibility anymore… I really will be an Agent" Mia exhales steam and walks to the door. Into the Living room and stopping at the door.

"I'll be back…" Mia puts on his tennis shoes and walks out the door.

Mia jogs down the road. Headphones over his ears as he breaths calmly. Listening to a podcast.

"And that's what I think… As the generations continue, there are less and less Awakened because the previous generations almost died out from the intensity of being an Agent" The other man responded.

"Yeah, And they recently released that there are only 53 students in the AWA program this year, instead of last years 134" The first man continues.

"But like I've said before, I believe that even though this generation is smaller, they have stronger abilities… We're actually seeing a rise in Awakenings with two abilities which hadn't been seen until a few years ago." The other man interrupts.

"Where are you going with this Lee?" Lee continues.

"The rise in stronger abilities could possibly mean that one day… The next generation won't be able to control their powers… And it could lead to a world ending apocalypse-like situation because the previous generation isn't strong enough to stop the next generation" Mia takes a deep breath as he stops when he feels a nearby presence. Reaching up and taking off his headphones.

"Hello?... Is anyone there?" There was silence as Mia turned to continue walking. Slightly jumping as someone is standing in front of him.

"I am…" the man had red unkempt hair. His eyes glowing red.

"Who are you?" Mia lifts his fists into a stance as the man walks closer.

"What?... You don't recognize me? Take a closer look if you have too" The man stops right in front of Mia. The two dominantly locking eyes.

"Nohan…? Is that you?... Why are you here in Japan?" The man starts laughing before punching Mia in the gut.

"Close enough… My name is Requiem… I used to be Rue Achlys… But he's no more" Mia falls to his knees coughing up blood.

"What… what did you do to Nohan!?" Requiem kicks Mia across the face, sending him sliding along the ground.

"I got bored hiding my anger from the world… so I became a Bounty hunter!... I'll rid this world of those with powers like mine… no one deserves them…" Requiem walks over and places his foot on Mia's back. 

"And you're first…" Requiem lifts his hand holding a pistol. The barrel starts burning as flames explode from Mia's back. Requiem sliding back.

"What the-... I thought you were only able to manipulate gravity!" Mia appears behind Requiem in a pillar of flames.

"Then I guess you underestimated me"
