《All Things Must End》Chapter 7: Rose
Advertisement
After hearing what the headmaster said, Milo was traumatized. He wasn't sure that he had three Singulas but he had an awful premonition that he did. He couldn't tell what it was, he even tried to bring it forth from his body, but nothing happened.
Milo eventually came to the conclusion that he either didn't have such a power, or that it was sealed for whatever reason.
The later wasn't actually too far from the truth. He wasn't exactly right but was not completely wrong. It was one of those weird cases were you are both wrong and right at the same time. It's like when you use a slot machine but only get two out of the three in a row, even though you're close you still can't do anything with it.
The entire time that Milo was going through this Azrael was watching him.
Azrael could tell that Milo would be the greatest wall he would have to deal with in his life. Milo might seem invincible with his abilities that he was born with, but Azrael knew he could defeat him with his own Singula.
Azrael's Singula might seem pure and innocent because it deals with the soul. That thought could not be further from the truth though. His power was the darkest one out of all the students. Even though he awakened to a blinding white light, his heart was pitch black.
The headmaster could see Azrael looking at Milo like this. He didn't show a care in the world though. His own belief was that 'only through fire and endless forging can the best sword be made.'
If Milo could not survive adolescence, then he would never grow strong. Only if Milo worked and lived like no one else would he gain peerless strength. After all a strong Singula at birth was a curse for a newly awakened student. This might seem strange, but it wasn't that surprising really.
It takes a lot longer to sharpen a hard steel sword, but a hard steel sword can get sharper than any other. It was the same way with Singulas, especially knowledge and space. They seem invincible in their own categories but in reality, they are almost impossible to strengthen.

If an individual could not find the correct things to strengthen their pool of Vis (energy used by Singula) then they would forever be weak.
Azrael would have an even harder time strengthening his ability. After all no Soul ability had ever existed before. This was what the headmaster thought at least, but he was wrong.
Azraels Singula did not need any Vis, it used something much more sinister as its energy.
============================================================
After all of the students had finished their Reawakening ceremony they went to another room.
When Milo and Azrael arrived in the room they could feel the stares of all the students. All of the students knew it was these two students who watched all of their reawakening, yet they had not seen theres. Many of the students felt this was wrong and unjustified but didn't dare voice their claims to the teachers. Emphasis on to the teachers, many of the student flocked towards Milo and Azrael to ask about there Singula. To the student's dismay Milo and Azrael weren't stupid enough to tell them, even if they did know it wouldn't help them at all. What was most surprising was how Azrael acted during this.
Milo acted quite amicably to the students. He avoided the student's questions and talked about other things with them. This annoyed the students but did not make them overtly angry towards him.
Azrael on the other hand was the complete opposite. He forcefully moved through the crowd of students, leaving unjust statements as he went along.
This enraged the surrounding students. They were all students of this school after all. How could one student do such a thing, they asked themselves and those around them?
Milo was definitely the most surprised by how Azrael acted though.
What would Azrael gain from making enemies of almost all the students? It made no sense whatsoever. Azrael seemed like a very logical person to Milo. He acted very taciturn the entire time. So why would he act this way now?

Only Asrael himself could understand his own logic, because no one else knew about his Singula.
Azrael had a very good reason for all of this. A reason that he could never voice whatsoever. The reason was dependent upon his reawakening, or in more detail his individual Singula.
To grow to be as strong as possible he needed people to hate him. If people didn't hate him he would never have a justifiable reason to do what he needed. Even the hate he was given was a terrible reason for what he would do, but there was no other way to go about it.
Finally, it seemed like ages to Milo a teacher started to speak.
"Now that you have all Reawakened you are ready to sign up for class. No need to worry about signing up though actually, as we, the school have kindly done it for you."
At this statement many of the students felt that something was off. There were only a few that knew this was a good thing for them. The students who knew that were Milo, Azrael, Rose, and a couple other individuals. Everyone else could only help feel a formless pressure that loomed over their future.
The teacher continued to say.
"Don't worry about unjust actions or discrimination, we as a school value all of our students and what they do. That is why we believe that each student should work on excelling. This means that it is up to the individual how well they will do at this school."
The student that heard this felt relieved. Only the few before truly realized what this statement meant.
They were virtually saying that strength was key, those with it will move forward and those without it, can only fall behind.
Milo didn't feel too bad about this as he knew he would be the one excelling. If he wasn't the one that would excel, then he would probably have a different opinion on all of this.
It was a dog eat dog world and those that fell behind stayed behind, being a babysitter would get Milo nowhere.
The Teacher continued to speak for a while, but as most of it was too boring Milo didn't remember it and I didn't think it was necessary to write down.
Then it was like a cool summer breeze when the student heard the teacher stop speaking. They all looked up in anticipation and!!! nothing happened...
Well, something did happen another teacher got up to speak. It seemed like the students would die from boredom if this continued any longer. The teacher spoke quickly saying.
"You Are now all free to go. Remember the school code and take one of these as you leave."
The teacher finished fast before any casualties were sustained in the student body.
What the teacher was holding up was a white rectangular box. It had two eyes shown on the cover with an abnormal mesh that seemed to cover them. It appeared to look like futuristic contacts.
When all of the students filed out of the building there were teachers beside the entrance calling names.
"Azrael, Omnia, Rose, Philip, Ben, Daisy, and Renjamin, all of the students by this name come over here."
When Milo looked over to see the group he noticed that it was all of the notable individuals who reawakened. Rose also especially caught his attention.
When He walked towards the group the teacher asked.
"Omnia?"
Milo responded with
"Yes, but I am also called Milo."
Milo could see Rose looking at him from the corner of his eye.
Milo walked up to Rose and asked her for her name.
She looked at Milo for a while and responded with
"Rose Dux"
