maos and Qrow had entered the over territory of Beacon" that giant castle is Beacon ?!" asks maos
"yep," said Qrow
"like the actual school ?!" insist Maos
"yes"
Maos suddenly calm down and go a regular tone
"damn"
"I think I could get in just for the view," said Maos
"yeah...it's pretty, especially when you're on top of it," said Qrow
"the top of this tower is where the Headmaster's office is "
"Follow me, they already know you are coming, I told them, at least I told Oz"
on the school ground"But..Like you sure i can join?" said Maos
"they will just add your to the list of people trying the entrance exam,either you can join or not will depend on you,"said Qrow
"I'm here to mostly help with the paperwork"
"Like what ?" asks Maos
"like your ID which you don't have, the headmaster will probably ask a few questions also...don't mind about the angry-looking blond woman next to him"
Maos could see around him a lot of people around his age, they all had a weapon sometime very strange ones
"by the way, you should put your staffs somewhere, no weapon is allowed directly on the school ground"
"but there so many people with their weapons on them," said Maos
"and why do they seem to all walk in the same direction ? they are to the locker room, all of those people are potential future student, they have their weapon right now, because they just arrived with it"
"just go in there, left, right...and left again...I think...anyway, just find a locker and put your weapon in there,just remember the code and number"
"fine..."maos start going to the locker room
it was a small building compared to the other building...which meant it was pretty big,like a small warehouse
Moas and see a lot of different types of people, probably coming from all over Remnant,maos saw seem to be a locker...something very futurist to him
at some point in front of one and just standing there, trying to figure out how it work, suddenly a girl arrived at the locker next to him and open
Maos carefully watch her doing it...and she realizes it,
a young woman with fair skin, short dark-brown hair, and dark-brown eyes. She has wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that starts as dark brown and transitions to caramel.
"gees stop staring at me like that, I know I look good, but still," said the girl with confidence
"huh ?... sorry, I'm not looking at you,...I didn't know how this locker works...now I know, thank you" said Maos as he repeats the step the girl did except he put his own code and put his staff inside
the girl stare at Maos for a second, analyzing his clothes
"your fashion...is terrible..."
[rude]thought maos
"which combat school did go to?" asks the girl
"none," said Maos without any shame
"Seriously ? how did you end up here, i definitely don't want you on my team now"react the girl, she seem mostly confused
"you judge people by how they look ?" asks Maos
the girl glare at Maos for a second "the fashion and way of talking of someone can tell a lot about them and their past,however it's in action that someone reveal their true color,i hope for you that your true color are better than those clothes"
[kinda rude,but she's right...in some way]thought Maos
"you seem confident to pass the entrance exams," said Maos
"of course I am, I am me after all," said the girl"
"And who is ME ?" asks Maos [that girl sounds so confident that it feel like arrogance]
"Coco Adel"
"the world ain't ready for me"
suddenly a certain girl who was a Faunus with a bunny's ear passed by the two of them
they both stare at her as she walks by
[wow,bunny Faunus !?]thought Maos, he was amazed by the variety he has seen so far
"kinda cute," said coco
both Maos and coco came to the remnant
maos suddenly remember that Qrow was waiting for him
"sadly,i need to go right now..I have to see the headmaster"
Maos already start walking after looking at the number of his locker
"you what ?" asks coco
"Sorry, see you later," said Maos as he left the locker room
"Hey ! don't you leave like that !" said COCO
"at least tell me your name ?!"
"I'm Maos" said Maos as he left
maos had already left
coco look at the entrance
"see the headmaster? who is this guy ?...he seems like a nobody...maybe I'm wrong..." said coco
"you finally came back, what were doing in there," said Qrow
"I met a girl name Coco, we talked a bit...I think.." said Maos [maybe she was just taunting me...regardless...she seem arrogant]
"already hunting ?, you just arrived to vale...pass the entrance exam first," said Qrow with a smug
"It's not like that," said Maos as eyes were full of disappointment for Qrow
"yeah, I said that too the first time," said Qrow as he start walking again
"except I'm not you," said Maos as he follow Qrow
"Don't underestimate yourself kid" said Qrow
Qrow just kept walking in silence as Maos follow him
at some, they stop, in front of a door made of metal, Qrow push a button on the wall
the door and reveal a tiny room
"See kid, THAT's an elevator," said Qrow as he smug
"Maos just look away and pretend to ignore him
after they enter the elevator and went up
there was an awkward silence
[i should hide my magic...I should try to pass it a semblance...sadly I will need to use my full magic power and not only telekinesis and body enhancement] in the future, especially if I go on the path of a huntsman...I wouldn't be able to survive many Grimm without magic and mu current skill]
Moa then had an idea to explain his various abilities...he didn't like that he had to trust the god of darkness pendant, at tool suppose to fully hide his magic[was does that mean anyways...like how does it work ?]
the door of the elevator opens
Qrow enter first and Moas slowly follow him inside
Maos see the headmaster of the academy, Ozpin, he was simply standing with his cane in his left hand,a mug of coffee in the other,on his left was standing a woman with blond hair
immediately, Ozpin and Maos stare at each other for a certain amount of time
"I see you have silver eyes," said Ozpin as he take a sip of the coffee, he try to hide, but he was surprised
"I am professor Ozpin"
"I am professor goodwitch" said the blond woman as she maintain a certain composure
there is a small silence
"I am Maos"
"so Maos, Qrow brought you here because he thinks you have a great potential, he also told us a bit about your...story," said Ozpin
"Now, he told us you had already unlocked your aura and semblance, do you mind if we check it ?"
Maos look at Qrow as in approval, Qrow just shakes his head a bit
"...i guess..."
"this bracelet will tell the amount, you have," said good wish as she approaches with some kind of bracelet, it really advanced technology
maos avoid it at first
"This isn't gonna hurt or anything," said Glynda
"most students went through such a test before having the right to enter the exam"
"most ?" asks Maos
"yes, depend on the information on the student file, we may or not do that test," said Glynda
Glynda simply touch Maos's skin on his left arm, her hand immediately back down a bit, like she got surprised a bit by something, she look at Qrow for a second after, Qrow just grin in response
[never i thought someone's aura could be felt by simply skin contact..it's not only a matter of quantity but also of quality]...this aura is insane thought, Glynda
"is there something wrong ?" asks Maos
Glynda put the bracelet
"It's going to activate in 5 seconds" as she back a tiny bit
the bracelet start calculating...and calculating...and calculating..for more than 15 seconds...and it wasn't done yet
"Isn't that suppose to take only like 5 seconds to measure and calculated?" asked Qrow
"...am i doing something bad ?" asks Maos
meanwhile, Ozpin was simply sipping his coffee...he didn't seem that surprised
the bracelet takes longer and longer
"it getting hot," said Maos as he feel the heat from the Bracelet, it was actually so hot that his instinct wild magic had already enhanced his body to endure it, but he didn't even realize it
"it's not supposed too" said Glynda as she approach again and touch the bracelet
Glinda's hand immediately back as she seem to burn her finger a bit
"Are you okay ?!" asks Maos as he felt sorry
"i am fine" said Glynda as she take her composure back
"damn...you okay kid," asks Qrow
Maos show his arm with the bracelet on it
"i mean yeah...it does feel hot though
Ozpin's eyes were getting wider and wider, Glynda's eyes did the same, Qrow too, the device started emitting smoke..and then after a few second,it completely break and fall from Maos arms
"..is that normal ?" asks Maos
"no...that never happened before,"said Qrow in shock
the rest of the bracelet suddenly starts to float toward Glynda, she tries to look at the result, she is almost composure for a second
"...i think this one may be flawed," said Glynda
"We shall take the test another time...with a more efficient and recent device"
[did my magic do that to these things ?...wait...if the pendant makes my magic energy look like aura even to technologies then no wonder r it's exploded,I must have way too much energy for it to handle,even for a regular sorcerer I have a lot of energy,so for that poor device...this is bad...I stand out now]thought Maos
[wait;..if that pendant can pass my magic as an aura for such an advanced device... then...does a regular person simply just can't tell ? even if they think I use magic...they would be sure because they never felt it or measure it]thought Maos
[plus it would make sens if a powerful aura mean a powerful semblance]
maos was mostly looking at Ozpin...at Ozma
[he has the eyes of a really old man...he look reminds me of Osiris's look...Oz huh...i guess it wasn't that hard to find you]
however what had given Ozin out wasn't his eyes, it was his cane, this was clearly the tool of a magician, he could feel it and mostly the floral pattern on the cane,it was the exact same at the staff of Ozma that Maos saw on the statue of Ozma. one cannot simply make a magic staff that easily as he takes a lot of training in both alchemy and magic and it required the knowledge of a certain ritual that is only taught to a magician or sorcerer able to at least cast the equivalent of 4th level spell
Maos only had a staff because he inherited it from his mother
glynda give a look to Ozpin
"a device that can handle...a lot more aura than this one"
Ozpin just moves his head to agree
"well...now young man what is your semblance...Qrow said that he saw you clean something it"
"come on, show us kid," said Qrow
"i didn't ask on because i wanted to have the surprise..but I got a glimpse when you were sleeping on the way"
"you...did ?" asks Maos
"Sometimes nightmares can be so vivid that some huntsmen activate their semblance my accident...you had a night on the way...i had to punch you to stop...and mu first still hurt"
"you punched him? while he was asleep ?" asks Glynda, she seems angry while still maintaining her composure
"for my own safety and his own, the whole airship almost blow up because of him" said Qrow
"Did I hurt anybody? what did you say exactly ?" asks Maos immediately
"no don't worry...so kid show or tell us,"said Qrow
maos hesitate a bit, he already thought of a lie earlier to explain his power and he did intend to use it
"i know it may sound a bit weird...and you may not believe it..."start Maos
Maos start concentrating on his wild magic, he didn't use it much, he could control that amount, he just wanted to show them what his "semblance" was about
maos raise his hands and a flame appears on his hand,he raises the other hand and a snowball appears inside it
he looks at the device still floating near Glynda, the flame inside his hand disappears as he points his now free hand toward the Glynda, and the device starts floating toward him"
" are you doing that ?" asks Glynda as she brings the bracelet back toward her, her telekinesis was way stronger Maos's
Maos then point his other hand, the one with the snowball as it disappears, he points the hand toward Opzin
the coffee inside the mug start floating and take a different shape, the coffee suddenly freezes, then become liquid again and goes back into Ozpin's mug and get hot again
"explain kid, I'm lost here, you have several semblances...that's not what I saw you did in the airship..."said Qrow
"what did i do one the ship ?"asks Maos
"you start to float..and everything around you too
"i...i can learn other people's semblance...and then reproduce it... sometimes at a higher level...I'm basically accumulating more and more semblance as i go...it like my aura also becomes stronger and stronger every time I learn a new semblance"
Ozpin was in complete shock,not because of the semblance,but he exactly knew what kind of power maos just used,he tried his best to hide,but his hands start shaking a bit on his cane
"you can learn other people's semblance ?!... than right now, you just use my semblance ?" asks Glynda
"not really...th-that's someone else..with a similar semblance" responded Maos
Qrow and Glynda had their world shattered
"What is the limitation for you to learn someone's semblance," asks Ozpin while being calm
"not much...except I need a certain time to learn it...the more complex the semblance, the more time it takes to learn...however..I can get all the information on a person's semblance by touching them...regardless of whether or not they unlocked it..."
[that helps explain the versatility of my power and why I can gain new power/spell out of nowhere]thought Maos
"you mean you can just stack up semblances just by touching people in the street ?" almost screams Qrow
"I knew I had found someone with potential, but that's a whole other level of potential ?"
Qrow started drinking from his flask a bit
"..I can only learn one semblance at a time...however this limit doesn't apply to using it, I can use multiple semblances at the same time"explain Maos
[professor goodwitch and Qrow seem to believe me...however Ozpin...]
[the pendant made regular people truly believe Maos's magic was his semblance...but what about Salem and Ozpin..those are people who a certain understanding of Magic...immortal beings!]
[shit...does he know ?]
Ozpin despite being surprised at first at taking again his normal and calm composure
"I would like to have a private talk with Maos"said Ozpin
Qrow and Glynda obeyed;.slowly, Glynda was looking in the same direction with eyes full of shocks while still maintaining her composure,well..trying to maintain her composure, her footsteps were a bit shaky at first
Qrow had taken his flask and started drinking a bit, he stop and look at it
"this won't be enough," said Qrow as he start leaving, followed by Glynda
they both stand in the elevator and push a button to leave
Maos is pretty sure he heard Qrowe offers professor goodwitch a little bit of his flask , Maos never hears Glynda's answer
it was now Ozpin and Maos alone in the room
"is Maos your real name ?, don't you dare lie to me because I will know, "asks Ozpin as he moves a bit his cane
[is he using a spell ?]thought Maos
"yes,"said Maos
"no family name ?"Open
"no..." respond Maos as a bit of sweat appeared on his forehead [is he an enemy or an ally ?... can I even beat him, while not being as strong as Osiris, he's the legendary Ozma...the first student of Osiris,the man who defeated thousand of monsters and the evil king]
"is Maos your birth name ?"asks Ozpin
"...no"Maos hesitate a bit, but Ozpin clearly guesses maos can use magic
"my birth name is Corvidae.."admit maos
"From now, you are gonna use it as a family name,Maos Corvidea doesn't sound that bad,"said Ozpin
"How are you able to learn magic ?" asks Ozpin
"...you really get to the point..." said Maos
"you may not believe me,..it may sound really crazy to you...like a lot"
"you may be surprised by the amount of craziness I can handle,i have seen a lot of things; believe me" said Ozpin
"you're Ozma"
Ozpin's hand suddenly starts shaking a bit, after he breathes a little to remain calm
"How ?, were you sent by Salem,it would be a very strange idea to reveal yourself like that," asks Ozpin
"Because I'm from the same time as you,at least the same era..I'm also a member of ancient humanity..."
"Were you sent by the god ?!" suddenly asks Ozpin, it was strange to hear such desperation from someone who was so calm a second ago, seem like even Ozpin has a limit
maos was suddenly startled by that reaction, Ozpin was slowly calming, this was apparently really out of character for him to react like that
"no..."said Maos
"How then ?" asks Ozpin
[he's been living and dying over and over for thousands of years...the simplicity of seeing someone like..it must be a shock...plus with so much without any word from the god..he must be desperate]
[however...i don't know if he's my ally..he's clearly not my enemy at least]
"..i think you should calm down..before I keep going..." said Maos
Ozpin next to his desk...to calm himself, he sits on it
he breathes a little
"Please keep going.." said Ozpin
"you may as well hit me with everything right now..."
"I was not brought here by the gods...but by a powerful wizard...the most powerful magician in history,
Ozpin raises an eyebrow
"you are Ozma, the first student of Osiris"
"Meanwhile,I am Maos, the second student of Osiris"
"...which given each other circumstance on how Osiris treat us...make us adoptive brothers...which is a really weird thing to say when i think about it...just forgot that part..."
" is Osiris still alive ?" asks Ozpin, anyone could easily tell he was trying his best to hide emotion, he was doing pretty well, if it wasn't for the glass that was composing the desk slowly breaking
"Sadly no...he used the last of his power to protect me...he used the spell wish...to protect me from the gods...now I suddenly woke up in a cave in mistral...and then i find Qrow and you know the rest"
Ozpin start walking around after calming down, he seems to think a lot and tries to stay calm
Maos was impressed by how Ozpin was calm...sure Ozpin still had some sudden reaction, but his ability to suddenly go back to a calm state was impressive
while Moas can also go back to a calm state as Ozpin does,Maos still have struggled with it, his limit when it comes to patience (while being impressive for his age) is way lower than Opzin's
"Did...did Osiris give you something before sending you here ?" asks Ozpin
"a book"
[shit...he knows about it...wait...Osiris told he start to create the book of magic even before losing his ability to cast 12th spell...which means a less advanced version of the book existed during the time of Ozma]
"..."Maos hesitate a bit
"book of magic"
a book appears in front of Maos
Ozpin drops go next to Maos to look at it
"you actually have it ?!"
"Did he finish it?
"Well, not while this book would be finished?" start Maos as he seems to state the obvious
"This book was made to contain all the knowledge of mankind..."
"However the quest of knowledge is never-ending"finished Ozpin,Maos, and him said the same thing as the same time
Ozpin smiles a bit to Maos
"Osiris use to always say that, the quest of knowledge is never-ending" reacts Maos
"yes,I know,"said Ozpin
Ozpin start walking around again
"how..did Osirsi save you?
"he cast the spell wish...at 10th least..Maybe higher..this is was a too high-level casting for me to truly know...however i know what happened thanks to it...he froze me in time"said Maos
"I woke up yesterday..."
Ozpin end up look at the window, seeing his reflection
"how did you I am Ozma ?...my appearance as changed"...Ozpin became suspicious
[shit...]thought Maos
"well...while the gods aren't the ones who sent me here...I did have a talk with them"said Maos
"you...did ?"Ozpin's eyes widened again as he turn around
"yeah..however,they told me about you and Salem,the relics...your never-ending fight...to achieve something impossible"
"they still want me to make humanity united..."said Ozpin
"i live a long time..and I came to the conclusion that humanity cannot be united...at least not the way they want it"
"Exactly, which is what I told them...they didn't like it"said Maos
"did they punish you too ? are you immortal as well ?"asks Ozpin
"no...but they intend to punish me...and the punishment..is unknown..and i really don't want to find out what it is"said Maos
Maos took a really serious look as a silence install itself in the room
"Ozma..i have a question for you..before i say more"
"go on and asks,"said Ozpin,his calm tone was fully back
", I've not seen much of this world...however, given how the human had been doing so far...not having gods around doesn't change that much...so tell me...do you think humanity needs the gods' presence ?"
"if you asks me this question during my first 10 incarnations I would have said yes, that the god's presence is needed"
"and now ?" asks Maos
"Have you seen the cities ? asks Ozpin
"This technology...it's amazing, it truly represents humankind's desire to survive, humanity did not simply survive without the gods, it's even flourishing, they created communication in the entire world, all kingdom are in peace with each other...and while I had a big part in the establishment of that peace,it was maintained by the people of this world.
"so far...I would say that the only thing threatening mankind's existence is Salem and her desire to die...even if it means bringing Humanity down with her; which is why I sealed the relics away in several vaults so that nobody uses them...i still left a way to get them in case some happen and they are needed,the relic still holds great power"
"but i Have no intention of ever using them to summon the gods...regardless of Humanity being united or not
"Because a divided humanity would be destroyed by them...and a united humanity would not need the gods anyway"
"However, if Salem uses the relics, the gods will be summoned and the world will be destroyed," said Maos
"Not only that...but the god of darkness told me that even if they do destroy humanity and this world...she would not die, she would just be sent to another world.."
"you mean...that the gods won't free Salem of her curse regardless of this world ?"Ozpin wasn't that shocked by the concept
"Exactly...and the truth is that they have been trying to actively come back to this world"said Maos
"they..they are ?" asks Ozpin
"because of Osiris and his wish spell...our master wishes to send me to a world where gods cannot rule nor walk among mortal"
"because of that spell, when the gods left, they lost most of their influence on this world, they created the relics and made you immortal with what they had left, the relics contain their power, if they are gathered, they will regain enough influence and power to cancel Osiris's spell and come back on the remnant, right now, the gods are unable to achieve big things...however they still have a bit of power"
"before i knew that, they tried to conceive me to help you defeat Salem in exchange they would bring back Magic to humanity"
"However...I refuse"
"you refuse ?...I did too at first..." said Ozpin
"mostly because I intend to bring back magic myself, "said Maos
there a sudden silence as Ozpin gives a look at Maos,a question look
"How ?" asks Ozpin
"After that, they promised they would punish me once they get summoned to this world...so you understand
"by becoming strong enough to cast a 12th level spell at least,"said Maos
"that's impossible!" almost scream Ozpin suddenly losing his temper for a second,Maos back down a bit because of the sudden green aura around Ozpin
Ozpin took a few seconds to calm
"Sorry...please keep going..how could reach 12th levels spell casting?a mortal cannot reach such power, not even me or Salem..we would be able to destroy the curse of the gods if we could"said Ozpin
"Osiris use another wish at 10th or above to break this rules on me, I have the potential to reach it...and with the book of magic, I have all i need e to reach it"
"and I intend to use that power to bring magic back...and the gods can't actively stop me"
Ozpin almost look like he was about to pass out,at least it felt like it
"what about Salem ? and me ?" asks Ozpin
"if you reach 12th level spell casting..you could..."
Ozpin suddenly had the most distressful and hopeful eyes Maos saw in his life so far, despite Ozpin's position remaining calm and composed
"I could free you from your curse," said Maos
"However...there's more"
"there's more ?" react Ozpin
"while i refuse the deal of the gods...the God of darkness gave me a visit"
"he doesn't like Salem one bit...he wants me to destroy her because she took over his creation the Grimm...which is why he gave me silver eyes...I'm not born with it, he told me if I was to face her that silver eyes would make her fall apart...and that in that state she could seal or stop..with the staff of creation...he mentions you would know how to help me"
"and then he forces silver on me..and gave me this pendant which disguised my magic as aura"
"and now I am here"
"and...that's it;...I think I said everything..."
Ozpin took a deep breath...he grab his cane and go to his desk
"so...since I have nowhere to go and I have no money...I thought becoming a huntsman would be a good start, I'm also in research of knowledge about this world...so going to a school is the best place for it"
then there was a long silence,a very long one,Ozpin was staring at Maos the whole time
at some point,Ozpin takes a deep breath, he goes toward the window again
"you just go now"
Maos was a bit surprise
"like i...just leave the academy ?"
"just go outside and follow the student for the exam, a special room was reserved for the participant to sleep in, I'll ask that someone bring you something to sleep on as the entrance exam is tomorrow..."
"'I'll use a bit of my influence to get you an ID...a cover about your past and everything
"we will talk again after the exam and you better pass it"
"Now please leave... I'll need to think a bit, this was a lot of information...things I need to correctly process"
Maos stay silent as he goes toward the elevator and calls it
the elevator's door opens, and Maos goes inside
"before you go, do you know the spell identification ?" asks Ozpin
"...no..."said Maos
"you should learn it, it's an easy level 1 spell to learn...and it would fit your explanation about learning what is people's semblance by touching them, you have till tomorrow to learn," said Ozpin
"...Maos stay silent,but he did have a smile [Oz seem to be an ally..Plus at least i know i have some granted home...I just need to pass the entrance exam...i should be able to make it]
Maos arrive down the tower and was out of the elevator
"so kid how did he go ?" asks Qrow
glynda goodwitch was not here, strangely
"professor Goodwitch is not here ?" asks Maos
"nah, apparently like a tiny fight between participants happened she had to go" said Qrow
"so what did Ozpin tell you ?"
"He'll get me an ID and I will be able to pass the entrance exam..."said Maos
[i wonder how many spell Ozma know...maybe he even invented new spells that aren't simply in the book of magic]
[i wonder if i could ask him to be my teacher...]
"That's great!"said Qrow as he realise his flask is empty
"darn it..I need to refill it"
"anyways,I think I did my part,I have to go back to a mission, however, I will be watching the entrance exam tomorrow, so you better pass it and with flying color...but with a semblance like that, the chance of your failing it is close to Zero"
[you're just gonna leave like that ?...i guess you did just pick me up on the way...still, you did a lot for me]thought Maos
"that is..of course if you pass the regular exam...but maybe Ozpin may add a few things for you..i wouldn't be surprised...you have a greater potential than i thought...if you trained well and learn a shit tone of semblance.., you could become some kind of monster of power..."
Qrow start turning around
"hey Qrow,"said Maos
"yeah, kid ?"
"Thanks for everything,"said Maos
"thanks for helping me come here"
there a small silence
"nah, don't worry about it ,you would have found this place at some point, you're a smart kid after all"
"it thought my nieces were the weirdest person I've ever met..now after meeting you,i can say with confidence that they are pretty normal... compared to you..."
"you probably have the strongest semblance I've ever seen"
"but don't let that get over your head,i saw many strong people getting killed because they were being too cocky"
"don't worry i won't"said Maos
"yeah,you better"said Qrow as he finally leave
Maos look around...no one was outside
[where do i go now ?..i think there a dorm i need to go to"...but where ?]
suddenly Maos's stomach start growling...a lot,it even felt like a bit of pain
[i did not eat since almost an entire day !,all i did was drink soda...]
"hey!" call someone
Maos turn to see a tall and athletic-looking young man with shaved-short black hair and tanned skin, who wears mostly pale-green and brown 's seem around 18 like Maos
the man comes and stop next to Maos
"hey...you have any idea where the cafeteria is? apparently, everyone went there to eat,and this place is so big..i just don't know where to go"asks the man
"no...I'm as lost as you"said Maos
Maos and the man look around,they were alone
"wanna search together,we may end up on someone from the staff or even a teacher to show us they way" propose Maos
"yeah sure why not"said the man
the man raise his hand toward Maos to shake it
"I'm Yatsuhashi,nice to meet you"
"Maos,a pleasure as well"
[he's seem like a nice guy]thought Maos and Yatsuhashi at the same time
after that they both shakes hand
they both start walking,they will find the cafeteria eventually
