It's not that he disliked the Cobra Kai guys, he just didn't know how to approach you here. When Cobra Kai fell, several of the students sought to pursue their career in Karate with Miyagi-do, they were looking to follow the right path, which was to some extent uncomfortable for Miguel, not because he disliked the idea, but because he had fought against them several times, he didn't hold a grudge against them, but he couldn't find a way to approach them, much less you. You got along well with Robby and Tory for obvious reasons, while the four of them were having breakfast in the school cafeteria talking calmly, the couple was called to the principal's room to discuss some things about their new integration, leaving you and Miguel alone, he just smiled at you, his gaze wandering from side to side, his hands getting tangled in the pockets of his shirt.

—"And how you felt in Miyagi-do?, do you need a hand?"

He asks, giving you a nervous smile, his eyes fixed on you, he respected you as a fighter, even admired you in a certain way, not for nothing had it cost him to fight against you when Cobra Kai fell, which increased the interest in you, he already knew the fighter, now he wanted to know the person.
