Soro froze for a moment.

"I'm sorry......did you say 4 months ?"

Kosuke slowly nodded.

This entire time Soro thought he had only been unconscious for around a week. He never would of expected the outcome to be like this. If it had been 4 months since then what would Akame, Yugo and Takimi think of him right now. Could they be thinking he is dead ?

"About that offer, can I take some time to think about it ?"

"Sure, come back once you've decided"

Soro got up from his seat and walked out. He had to see Takimi first.

["She should be in english class right now"]

He headed to her classroom and looked through the window on the door. There he spotted Takimi leaning over with her hand on her chin. She was clearly bored out of her mind. Luckily things were about to get more interesting for her. Soro lightly knocked on the window of the door. Takimi slowly turned her head around and saw him waving at her with a cheeky smile on his face. She froze for a moment before getting up from her seat.

The teacher in the class glanced at her.

"Takimi, where do you think you're going ?"

"I'll be back"

Takimi opened the door. Soro reached over to hug her. However what he received in return wasn't a hug but rather a large punch right on his jaw. As Soro fell backwards from the impact Takimi quickly pulled him back up and put her arms around his waist. Tears began hastily running down her face.

"You idiot! why did you have to try help me !? I thought you were going to die !"

Although still in pain from the hit he just took, Soro smiled.

"They took my sister hostage, I couldn't just do nothing ?"

"I don't wanna see you get hurt anymore, whatever it is your doing to provoke these people you need to stop"

"It's alright Takimi, I'll make sure I don't get hurt anymore"

"You liar, you say that but I know your gonna get into a fight again"

"Uh...."

Takimi raised her head and looked at Soro in the eyes.

"If you ever get into another fight promise me one thing"

"Huh ?"

"Promise me that you won't lose"

Soro slightly smirked.

"Sure, I promise..."

They stood still for a while.

"Ah that reminds me, Takimi I have something to tell you"

"What is it ?"

"I need to go somewhere for a while"

"Ah, You mean the NWA ?"

Soro tilted his head.

"NWA ?"

"The New World Academy, everyone is talking about it"

The New World Academy was a recently opened prestige academy funded by the government. Students with abilities that could benefit society, had been recommended to go there by their teachers or parents. The academy consists of only those who were hit with a revolt arrow aside from the professors teaching there.

["That must be the 'school' the headteacher was talking about"]

"Yeah, I think so"

"I thought as much, everyone has been talking about you ever since that day, even the teachers"

"What did they say ?"

"Well most of them were just curious about what your ability was. Speaking of which why didn't you tell me you had an ability, huh !?!"

["I don't think It's something I can explain without making her confused. I don't know much about it myself"]

"Uh, well....I don't exactly know much about it either"

"Whatever, I'm just glad you're still alive"

["I feel like i'm forgetting something.....oh right! Akame and Yugo"

"Takimi, do you know where Akame or Yugo are right now ?"

Takimi wasn't particularly close with Akame and Yugo. However she has had a phew encounters with them before to know who they were.

"Yugo is in class I believe, Akame on the other hand......."

"Hmm ?"

"Well the thing is....Akame already went to the New World Academy"

Soro's eyes widened in shock.

"What !?!"

"She told me to tell you to go see Yugo about something, I'm not sure what though"

Why would Akame have left already ? Could it be she thought Soro would never wake up ? No, that was highly unlikely, She wasn't the type of person to give up on someone. So what could the reason be ? He had to find out for him self.

"Okay, I'm going to go see Yugo"

"Alright, I'll see you later on"

Soro went down the hallway and entered the chemistry classroom across.

["Yugo should be in here..."]

Soro looked around the area, there was plenty of students sitting down, but Yugo wasn't one of them.

["Where is he ? I'm positive this was his class"]

Soro felt some weight on his shoulder, it was as if a hand was touching him. He turned around and spotted a young male with short purple hair and glasses looking at him.

"Heh, you haven't changed one bit Yugo"

They both slapped hands together and then hugged. Yugo smirked.

"Heh, I thought my hand would go through you when I touched your shoulder"

"Haha, don't worry I'm real. How's Akame doing ?"

"She called me last week asking if you were awake yet"

"I see..."

Yugo reached into his pocket and toke out a piece of paper.

"She wanted me to give you this when you woke up"

"What is it ?"

Yugo shrugged.

"She told me not to read it"

"And you actually obeyed ?"

"Ah fine you got me. it's a letter for you"

Soro took the letter out of Yugo's hand and read it.

|Dear Soro|

|If you are reading this now then I've probably already went to the New World Academy. Knowing you you're probably wondering why I didn't wait for you. Well believe me I really wanted to haha, but you see something happened while you were unconscious and I was forced to come here. Don't worry it's nothing too serious, I'll tell you more about it when I see you in person.

Anyways I hope you're wounds are fully recovered by now. Sorry I couldn't help you fight those assholes. I'll be waiting for you in the Academy so please hurry up, I can't wait till you arrive, We have so much to talk about.

Yours truly, Akame Cheiko]
