I'm curious as to why Mikumo specifically had to attempt to take down the marmods that appeared in his school. (Other than for the plot) I know he said that there was no one around and there would be casualties but what about the other border agents. Where was Yoneya, Miwa, Midorikawa and Karasuma? Mikumo is 15 and his birthday is in June. This leads me to believe that he is in Grade 10, or high school as the Japanese put it. Then there is Chika in the same school, who is 13 and has just turned 14. Her birthday is in February so she could be in either Grade 8 or 9. This is still middle school in Japan. Therefore Chika and Mikumo shouldn't attend the same school. In the anime it is clearly shown that they attend the same school which leads me believe that everyone ranging from ages 12-18 could also attend that school. This age range includs Izumi, Yoneya, Midorikawa, Karasuma, Konami, Satori, Kitora etc. Therefore wouldn’t they have also been at that school during school hours? Even if Mikumo were in Grade 9 and therefore in middle school with Chika, Midorikawa also fits in that age group and should therefore attend the same school and henceforth be able to dispose of the marmods.I know Kitora was on duty with Arashiyama squad but not all of the agents would be on duty at the same time. Right? Also Izumi was on an expedition with Tachikawa squad so he would’ve also been invalid, but there still would be several agents able to dispose of the neighbours. Mikudo city is not a popular city due to its close proximity with gates. This leads me to believe that there is a lower population than there could be. As such, there would not be a need for other schools. Therefore Izumi, Yoneya, Midorikawa, Karasuma, Konami, Satori, Kitora etc would also attend that single school.So where the hell were all the border agents?
