*Bottom of the stairs*

A cloaked figure looked up at the intimidating stair cases and the building that sat a top of those stairs. They smirked knowing that their target was at the top of those stairs.

"And so, it begins"

*On the field*

The students of Class Crescent Moon were spread along the green grass of the outdoor field. They were going to have an observation class with the staff. This included the teachers, the death scythes, and the Reaper.

Everyone's focus, for some unknown reason, was on Kid today. Maka especially felt the need to keep an eye on her smaller friend. She had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, but she didn't know what.

Sid stood in front of the students with his whistle. He blew it to gain their attention. The students stopped and went to stand in front of their zombie teacher.

"Ok class. Today we're going to do some jumping exercises"

"Huh?"

The class looked at the zombie and collectively jumped up.

"How Cute. But not like that. As people who fight the Kishin egg souls, you must be adaptable with your surroundings and must be flexible as well. Here just watch"

Sid gave his clipboard to Kid and turned around to face the trees. He jumped up and started to jump from branch to branch. He even did a few acrobatic moves in the air. He even jumped up well above the trees and landed on a branch and jumped one last time to land on the ground in front of them.

The students looked at the zombie in awe before clapping in acknowledgement.

"Heh. I see that I still got it. Being able to adjust in your surroundings and being that flexible"

He dusted himself off and took the clipboard from Kid.

"Now then, it's your turn. Be sure to watch out for each other since there's a lot of kids in this class. Making sure that the students understood safety that's the kind of man I was. Now go"

"Right!"

Kid nodded and took a running start before hopping up and landing on a branch gracefully. The other students followed and they all began practicing their jumps. The teachers watched the students with a strong sense of pride. They loved watching the students have fun while getting stronger. But, they still couldn't get over the uneasiness that they feel.

*Somewhere in the forest*

The cloaked figure sat upon on the branches. They had a clear view of the sky. They opened up a bag and brought out a black orb. They also created a magic circle and out came a wild tiger. (A/N: I don't know I just needed something with claws)

The tiger growled and bared its claws. The figure held the orb and petted the tiger.

"Heh heh. Now all we need is the baby Reaper and then the experiment can begin"

*Somewhere in the forest again*

The students had gone a good ways away from the teachers. They were having fun jumping from branch to branch and discovering more about themselves and their body. Black*Star turned to look at Kid, who was casually jumping from every other branch.

"Oi Kid lets race"

Kid looked at Black*Star and sighed. He stopped jumping and composed himself.

"We can't Black*Star. This is only an exercise where we get used to jumping at this kind of height. This isn't the time for a race"

Without waiting for a retort, he continued jumping. He looked up at the sky and leaped up. He saw the entire forest from that height. He saw something shining in the distance and saw a tiger jump out at him. He wasn't able to dodge at that height and felt the tiger's claws get him on the chest and side. The blood covered his vision as he looked down and saw a black orb enter his body.

He semi lost conscious for a bit as he felt himself falling backwards. His eyes popped open and he let out a scream before feeling a sharp pain on his back as his vision grew dark again.
