So today, Shinigami was talking to the student, and was preparing to give him his first assignment.
"So uh...Walt you said your name was?"
"Yes."
"I am going to assign you a weapon partner...but there seems to be a bit of a problem...you see I happen to be, right now, all out of available subjects..."
"Well okay. I tell you what, how about you assign me a weapon partner, who is paired up with the worst student in the acadamy, and has failed more assignments than anyone else."
"Hmmm well it doesn't take much thought to say that Black star would definitely fall under that category...well...hmmm...I suppose just this once I could give it a try and see what happens.
Shinigami opened up a portal, and Tsubaki walked out.
"Hello sir. What can me and Black star do for you today?" she asked.
"Well, Actually Tsubaki, there will be a change in plans today. I am pairing you up with the new student. Tsubaki, meet Walt.
Tsubaki turned to Walt. He was a young man, about in his early twenties or so, wearing a dark suit and dress pants, white dress shirt, a black tie, and black dress shoes and socks. He was wearing a dark fedora, and dark, perfectly symmetrical glasses. They were dark and you couldn't see his eyes. He also had perfactly cut brown hair. His face seemed emotionless. As strange and mysterious as he looked, he was quite handsome.
"Hello." Walt said.
"Oh uh...hi..." Tsubaki said shyly. Walt shook her hand.
"It's nice to meet you."
"Uh...nice to meet you too...wait...did you say you're pairing me up with him?"
"Indeed."
"Uhh...I don't hink Black star will take this very well..."
"You want me to tell him?" asked Shinigami.
"No...I think it's best I break him the news."
Tsubaki went on her way.
"Now Walt, You go wait for her outside.
"Yes sir."
"Hmmm say Albarn...does something seem...odd to you about that young man?"
"I would say yes! I don't want that creep haing around my Maka!"
Meanwhile outside, Tsubaki met up with Black star.
"Hey Tsubaki! So, what our next assignment? Who ever I have to kill, they will be no match for the power of black star!"
"Uh...listen Black star...there's something I need to tell you..."
"Oh don't tell me! You found a witch, huh? I hope she's powerful! I've been in the mood for a challenge."
"Well...thine thing is...I'm not going to be paired up with you...for now.."
"Ah ha ha ha. Good one." said Black star.
"I'm not joking...I have been paired up with the new student."
"Please tell me you're kidding."
"I'm sorry Black star...I must."
Tsubaki walked away to meet Walt. Black star stood there, dumbfounded.
Walt waited until Tsubaki showed up.
"Hello Walt." Tsubaki greeted with a smile.
"Hello."
"So, shall we be on our way?"
"Of course."
They started walking.
"So, our goal is-"
"That's not nessesary." Interupted Walt. "I am well aware of the task of collecting souls."
"Yes...when I was paired up with Black star...I didn't collect any."
"I'm sure it's not your fault."
"Huh...thanks. Sometimes people make fun of me for pairing up with him...but I would like to see what it's like to actually collect souls."
"Count on this, I will make you a death scythe."
"How can you be so sure?" Tsubaki asked with a smile.
"You'll see."
They kept walking until they came across a grotesque looking creature in the distance.
"Okay Walt, be alert! I'll morph into a weapon to be ready."
"That's not nessesary."
"What? Walt! You can't take him with your bare hands!"
"Of course not."
A solid gold looking Katana popped into Walt's right hand. It almost looked like it came out of his sleeve. In a flash, he ran to the creature, and cut it down in one slice, much to Tsubaki's surprise. Walt came walking back with a soul.
"Here."
"Walt...that was amazing!" said Tsubaki taking the soul.
"It was nothing."
Tsubaki ate the soul.
Shinigami observed this whole thing. The dude was impressive, he had to give him that much. At this rate, making tsubaki into a death scythe would be a sinch.
And so, as the day went by, Walt had collected a total of twenty souls. It was late afternoon.
"Wow Walt! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to collect so much as one soul!" said Tsubaki was Walt walked her back to the acadamy.
"I am a man of my word."
"So uh...can I hope to see you tomorrow?"
"Count on it." Walt said smiling for the first time since he arrived.
Tsubaki gave Walt a quick hug.
"Hey!"
They turned to see Black star.
"Yeah you, monkey suit!"
"Black star?" asked Tsubaki.
"How dare you steal my partner!"
"Shinigami put this together, not me."
"I don't care! I have a bone to pick with you! Let's settle this man to man. An old fahioned Fist fight!"
"Black star, no!"
Walt snickered.
"Alright, come at me."
"Grrrrraaaahhh!" Black star yelled running toward Walt.
"NOOO!"
SLASH!
"BLACK STAAAR!"
