Mikasa's cry...

Chapter 31

Title: Mikasa's cry...

….

As soon as Mikasa hears the whisper behind her. She immediately turned around, and clenched her fist, and punched whoever was behind her. Before the punch connected though she used KO and with 100% of her Nen concentrated on her fist she backhanded the person behind her.

*crunch*

As her punch connected Mikasa heard the loud crack of bones breaking. And saw the person she just hit… and her hand…

The person who she just hit, was wearing something she was very familiar with and had a VERY familiar smirk on his face. Even as she had bashed the back of her fist into his face. It was Jax...

 She looked at her hand… it was completely mangled with her fingers all broken in awkward positions. It had felt as if she had just hit an immovable and indestructible object (Jax's nose). Though no indication of pain came out of Mikasa. She was in VERY deep pain… but she has had worse. 

Then silent tears slowly came out of her eyes… not out of pain or anything like that… it was out of happiness for finally finding Jax and seeing that he is ok.

Though contrary to Mikasa, Jax had a completely carefree smile on his face. "Yo! Mikasa, how have you been."

Though Mikasa was still in shock when she heard Jax speak like that. She felt an overwhelming nostalgia. She fell down on her knees on the ground as even more tears came out of her eyes.

When Jax saw that, he looked uncomfortable and fidgeted around a little awkwardly.  "Uhhh… I didn't mean it when I said you were weak. Your Nen has advanced to an amazing level, and it also seems you have kept up your training. I could count the Nen Users stronger than you in one hand. Especially when you use your Hatsu. And that punch you gave me was mediocre… I- I mean amazing too."

He crouched down to Mikasa's level and started patting her head. "So c'mon now don't be so down Mikasa."

When Mikasa heard Jax's insensitive words, she couldn't help but smile.

"You are really… horrible sensei." Said Mikasa as she was half crying and laughing now. 

While this was all happening, Eiri was still standing on her bubble and didn't know how to get down. But she didn't want to interrupt this moment her sensei (Mikasa) and Jax were having. She slowly was rising higher and higher. 

Then Mikasa got up and hugged Jax. He reciprocated and hugged her back. And he took a small vial filled with red liquid from his pocket. He poured it into Mikasa's hand and it immediately started setting her hand back in place and healing it. Mikasa was a little surprised at this, she wondered where her teacher got this miraculous liquid from.

Then finally, Eiri couldn't take it anymore and screamed. "HEY SENSEI GET ME DOWN FROM HERE."

Mikasa came out of her daydreaming about Jax and looked up and saw her student about seven stories high. 

"Can't you control your bubble Eiri." Said Mikasa, now back to being her calm self again. 

Eiri just shook her head. Mikasa sighed a little and was about to equip her Hatsu to give herself a boost in strength as she can't jump that high naturally since Eiri was already around 10 stories high in the air. But as she was about to do that, she had forgotten that Jax was next to her. 

So he just smiled at Eiri, crouched down and concentrated some Nen to his feet and… 

*fwosh*

Jax easily jumped up and floated next to Eiri… he gave the bubble a sharp fast poke with his finger.

*pop*

The bubble popped and he caught Eiri in a princess carry and he fell down on the ground.

*Booom*

Creating a crack all around the ground where he landed. Eiri looked at Jax with starry eyes, she had just been saved by her handsome prince. Then Jax just simply...

*bam*

Dropped Eiri on the ground carelessly, and completely ignored her as he went towards Mikasa.

.

"So Mikasa, you have also gotten a little rusty. You shouldn't have immediately trusted that it was me when I approached you. You should have been a little more suspicious and…." Jax just kept criticizing Mikasa for being reckless and not having her guard up. While Eiri still had a shocked look on her face.

.

'Unlike his looks… he really isn't a gentleman at all.' Thought little Eiri, as she pouted in anger. She got up and stomped on the ground, she has never seen someone so disrespectful. 

'How did he even become the teacher of someone so gentle, strong, beautiful, kind, talented, and smart like Mikasa sensei.' Thought Eiri as she kept criticizing Jax for not being the same as Mikasa had described him to be.

….

-Mikasa POV-

I listened to Jax -sensei's criticism. I took it to strive. He still feels like a normal person, even when she is standing one foot away from him. He feels… normal… 

I still don't know how he even does this. When I asked him once he just shrugged and said. 'Turn your Nen silent.' I don't even know where to start with that… and he is still criticizing me, why I didn't also leave some Nen to use for defense instead of using KO to gather 100% of my Nen in my first. I should have used RYU and dedicated some percentage of my Nen for defense too. 

"So do you understand me, Mikasa." Said sensei to me, in a slightly harsh tone. When I heard him keep trying to teach me even now… I feel like I am still a little girl being taught by him again… the same as all those years ago. Back then I didn't even know how to express any emotions, with Jax -sensei patiently taking care of me and never, not even once he complained about me being weird and never expressing emotion.

 I know that no matter how he acts… he does this because he cares about me.

A small smile appeared on my face as I thought of that. He truly does care about me…

Suddenly I felt a hand grab me by the top of my head and start painfully squeezing.

"So you think this is funny, don't you Mikasa." 

He really treats me like I still am a little girl.

"No, no sensei, you are misunderstanding."

….

After that whole ordeal was over, he started asking me how many cards I had… which I answered with 35… he had 97… yeah… he has only been here for a month and he already almost finished the game. How did he even find the secret places and such… those places are hard to come by.

"By the way… we will be training for a month. Then… we will get my 98th card… which we will get by playing a game of dodgeball and we will meet some… interesting kids at that time."  As sensei said that he had a mysterious smile on his face.

"MUAHAHAHAHAH." I flinched a little as he then started laughing menacingly out of nowhere.

….

A/N: Next time.... dodgeball...
