"All right, everyone," Dr. Stein announced, "It's time to start training with your partners. Let's head out to the grounds so you can work on Soul Resonance."
The class rushed out the door, eager for a chance to use their skills instead of learn about them. Just as she was about to join her classmates, a short, honey blonde girl was stopped by the professor.
"Miss North," he said, "You're going to need a partner before you can train."
"I know, Doc. And trust me, I'm trying. But everyone comes to this school in pairs. Already got their partners. What's a meister to do?"
"I may have an idea."
"And...?"
"I got news from Lord Death that we have a new student enrolling. A weapon."
"Great! No meister?"
"None. But he also said that this weapon doesn't need one."
"Please," she said, rolling her eyes. "How many weapons brag that they don't need a meister?" "Quite a lot of them."
"And how many can hold up on that promise?"
"Good point."
"When are they coming in?"
"Beginning of next week."
"Perfect. I'll be ready. Just you wait, Doc, I'm gonna make the best meister this school has ever seen."
"Uh huh," he said sarcastically, "I'm sure you will."
