A sound soul…dwells within a sound mind…and a sound body.
These were the words that Maka had always remembered from her teachings of Dr. Stein. She was one day headed to class at the DWMA with her partner Soul. They both had vanquished the Kishin from existence a week earlier, and felt like they both had accomplished one of the biggest jobs the Grim Reaper could have vested onto them. Beside them were two other small groups of people, the arrogant Black Star and his weapon partner Tsubaki, and Death the Kid, along with his two weapon partners Liz and Patty. They were all headed along to their class with Dr. Stein as their teacher, their own respective thoughts in mind, as well as having a conversation amongst themselves. "What a huge star I am! I still can't believe I managed to vanquish the Kishin!" Boasted Black Star while walking down the hall, only earning a retort back from Soul who irritatingly stated, "We killed the Kishin you moron." Black Star was annoyed that Soul had said anything back to him to prove him wrong, giving a sulking look as he sadly said, "You don't have to remind me you know. Maka took almost all the spotlight. But she still isn't a big a star as I am!" After that last remark, Black Star then gave a proud look, still in his same arrogant way.
"Right" was the usual response Tsubaki gave to Black Star, while the group of them reached the door. Death the Kid had stayed nearly silent the whole time, his thoughts focusing on one thing that occurred during the fight with the Kishin, the vastly improved death cannon technique that had reduced the Kishin down immensely. Patty and Liz had told him about it a short while after the fight, to which Kid responded that he had no memory of it occurring.
Patty was in her usual childish daze that she would have, her silly kid-like thoughts going through her mind, and Liz's thoughts of how to make herself look nicer and if her nails were done correctly that morning. Soul had thoughts of his own, on how he would try and earn more souls to become a death scythe for the Grim Reaper, and Maka's thoughts were close to Soul's own thoughts, with part of her mind going back to thoughts of the Kishin Hunter technique as well as a few others. Tsubaki focused on her usual thoughts of how arrogant Black Star was in his usual way of acting, but thinking of the enchanted sword mode as well.
Soul opened the door and all of them headed towards their seat, waiting for Dr. Stein to show up for the lessons that Stein had for them today. When Stein arrived, he came in his usual way, rolling along on a mobile chair and coming through the door. "Ok class, sit down, we have a lot to cover today." Came the words from his mouth, and then when he rolled to the front of the room on his chair, something seemed out of the ordinary, he had a more serious expression on than usual. Then Stein said a little loudly to get the attention of the class, "Ok now before we start class, Black Star and Tsubaki, and Death the Kid and his weapons, all of you need to see me outside. You'll be missing class today for certain reasons." The aforementioned people gave a bit of surprised looks; this was an unusual occurrence, getting called out of class. Soul then gave a surprised look, and shouted to Stein, "Hey! Why do they get to miss class?" Stein gave a very serious look to Soul, which then made him shrink back in his seat out of being startled.
The group of people Stein mentioned then nodded and walked down to follow Stein out of the room. Stein showed them to the death room, which Lord Death usually worked from. When they all arrived, the Grim Reaper gave them his usual greeting, "Hey everybody! How's it going?" his very silly tone and happy way he said it being a normalcy for anyone who knew him. "Dad, why did Stein call us out of class? He looked extremely serious, and normally that means something is wrong." They all paid attention to Kid's father as he then said, a little more serious now, "You all, I have a mission for you. This mission is not to be taken lightly. This is not the reporting of a kishin appearance or any issue along those lines. This is the issue, of a couple new people arriving in this world…"
