Mike Zacharias (Junior High Manga)

Mike Zacharias (ミケ・ザカリアス) is a Attack Junior High School student.

Appearance
Mike is a fairly tall third year student with small eyes and has his hair parted down the middle. A notable distinction is that Mike sports both a slight beard and mustache. He usually is seen wearing either a dark tracksuit or a dark shirt and pants.

Personality
Mike is a quiet and calm young man. He has a very sensitive nose, which allows him to pick up distinct smells and is very good at tracking. It has been noted that he is afraid of germs, to the point that he cannot eat food not prepared by his parents or a relative. However, he is able to partially overcome this fear in some cases, like when tasting Nanaba's cooking.

Despite being a student just like his friends and fellow Survey Club members, Mike is almost exclusively seen and treated like an adult, being referred to as 'Mr. Mike'.

Story
At about roughly the same time Mike joined the Survey Club at school, he also became a member of the school's cooking club. Due to his germophobia, he does not partake in any of the food prepared in the club but still manages to be a valued member due to his heightened sense of smell.

Eventually, a 2nd year student named Nanaba joins the club. Mike takes a liking to her and notes that she is extremely skilled as a chef. Eventually, the club dwindles to three members: Mike, Nanaba and new member Gelgar. One day, Nanaba brings Mike a rice ball and asks him to taste it; Mike pauses and then immediately leaves. When asked why, he doesn't mention his germophobia and merely states that he can't eat any food prepared by the other remaining club members.
