A/N: This is really short and really bad but it sets the ground for the story. I swear to Shinigami-Sama that the next chapter will be better ;3 BTW this takes place after season 1's ending

"Ahahahaha~! Look, Kid! I made a giraffe out of those homework stacks from last week!" Patti sang.

Death The Kid did not listen, however, for he was doing his weekly routine of writing his name perfectly at the top of the paper. He normally failed, however, because Patti or Black Star would distract him. He could never obtain perfect symmetry... What a sad thought. And he oh so loved symmetry too.

All of the students looked up from their desks as the teacher, Stein, walked into the room. Today he didn't have anything to dissect, which was either good news or bad news.

"Okay, class. We've gotten information that a potentially dangerous enemy could be attacking us in the future, so I've been ordered for all of you to have extra training," He announced.

A round of disappointed 'awws' and 'oh mans' were heard as soon as he said the word 'extra training.' Whenever Stein said that word they knew it meant group resonance, fighting practice, and flexibility training for the whole period which was exhausting for most. Black Star was the only person who wasn't disappointed about this.

All eyes in the room turned to a student in the corner of the room raising their hand.

"Yes,"

"Who is this enemy?" She asked. "Like, what the heck are they? We can't just practice without knowing..."

"Ah, yes. They're a witch."

A few people were excited to fight a witch, and a few were scared. Crona was shivering and murmuring about how he doesn't know how to deal with witches. Ragnarok soon appeared and started to hit him like usual.

"Wait a second," A student spoke up. "When is she expected to arrive or whatever anyways, and how do we even know that she will?"

"Good question. We found out that she might arrive soon because of Blair. We won't wait for her to come to us, we'll come to her. It'd be easier because she wouldn't expect it and might be shocked." Stein said. "And that's why we need to start training now. Everyone get with your partners with your weapon in weapon form and go outside."

"I can't believe he gave us extra homework today," Soul said.

"Well, we are going to fight a witch..." Maka said.

"Doesn't mean that he has to give us more homework..." He commented. "And right after making us do extra training too... Tch."

"I think I'll make a bird this time!" Patti thought out loud.

"Have you ever considered doing your homework, Patti?" Death The Kid asked, facepalming.

"That's just the boring way!" Patti said.

Patti rarely actually did her homework, not that it affected her. Despite how she acted, she was actually smart and already knew a lot of the homework from when she was living on the streets with Liz. They learned so many techniques together back then, and thanks to Death The Kid finding them, now they knew even more.

"I agree with Patti! The boring way is to be like Kid and write every answer lamely! I'm so awesome that I do my push-ups while doing my homework - if I'm actually doing it," Black Star said, putting his hands behind his head as he walked down the hall. "An awesome guy like me doesn't need homework!"

Tsubaki giggled, knowing fully well that Black Star studies and does his homework just like anyone else most of the time unless he's particularly hyper that day.

The group made it to the dormitory area and said goodbye to each other before going into their dorm rooms and relaxing. (except for DTK who found a lopsided painting in his room. RIP DTK)
