Soul Eater: The Old Witch Mabaa
Chapter 1: Enrollment
"Arrived," A boy said as he got to the top of the extremely long staircase that led up to a magnificent building.
The building was called the Demon Weapon Meister Academy, a.k.a. DWMA. A school dedicated to training Meisters and making Death Scythes, the personal weapon of Lord Death. This boy that had just arrived was a Meister by the name of Takumi Watanabe; this would mark his first day at DWMA, but somehow, he didn't feel like it would be a pleasant day.
Takumi had brown hair and brown eyes, his clothes were casual, his shirt was deep black, with just a large white line going down the left side, and his pants were a light brown and just a bit too short for him. As he approached DWMA's front doors, he saw many Meisters and Weapons conversing with each other over fighting strategies, techniques, or just about daily life.
When Takumi entered the school, he saw a sign that pointed freshmen where to go. After following the signs placed all around the school, he found a room with a 'welcome freshmen' sign above it, and he entered the room to find a bunch of other new student waiting for instructions from the teacher in the room.
The teacher walked up to Takumi. "Are you a Meister or Weapon?" he asked.
"Meister," Takumi replied.
"Then put this on your shirt," The teacher told Takumi, handing him a tag that read 'Meister'. "Alright everyone listen up, I'm one of the instructors here; my name is Diego. The reason you all are here today is so that you can get to know everyone. From here on out the Meisters will need to find Weapons and Weapons will need to find Meisters. Don't rush into anything though; it'll take time for you to find someone you want as your partner. For those that can't find their own partner, you can try out the bingo tournament in the feeling partner game, A lot of people have found their partners using this method, so don't go and shrug it off without any consideration. Now I would like you all to take this approximate plans printed here." Diego said handing out some fliers to everyone. "That will be all for today, you are dismissed." Diego told them and some began to leave the room while others stayed awhile longer.
Takumi sat down in a chair without so much as glancing at the other students. "Not me." He said to himself.
"U-um," A girl said to Takumi, who looked up at her. She had short blonde hair and was wearing a simple white dress. "M-my name is Mignon, I'm a W-Weapon. I, I don't suppose you would be willing to partner up with me?" She asked, and Takumi held out his hand as if to receive something.
"Change," Takumi said, but Mignon didn't understand what he meant. "Transform," he said, and Mignon realized he wanted her to transform into her weapon form.
"R-right." She replied and transformed into long staff in Takumi's hand, but when Takumi tried to grasp it, it slid strait from his hand onto the floor. "I-I'm so sorry." Mignon said and transformed back. "I must have done something wrong, p-please give/"
"You didn't do anything wrong," Diego said to Mignon. "What just happened was a classic example of your soul wavelengths not matching. You see when a Weapon and a Meister fight together, they have to feel each others wavelength and link them so that the Meister is able to wield the Weapon in battle, if the wavelengths don't match, then the Meister cannot wield the Weapon, just as you two." Diego explained.
"O-oh, I see, w-well, I guess I'll se you later, um..." Mignon said, not having learned Takumi's name in the first place.
"Takumi," Takumi told Mignon.
"R-right, b-bye," Mignon said, and scurried away.
Takumi sighed and left the room, not caring enough about this to stay any longer. While Takumi was walking down the hall, he saw a couple of people who already found their partners. Takumi was paying such little attention to his surroundings that he bumped into one of the other freshmen while walking past him.
"Hey!" the guy shouted at Takumi.
"Hm?" Takumi turned to the guy.
"You don't just walk into people like that!" The boy yelled at Takumi.
"Not watching," Takumi replied.
"Huh, not watching, what's that supposed to mean?" The boy asked, not understanding Takumi's vague response.
"Attention," Takumi said, but this only confused and aggravated the boy more.
"You making fun of me or something? What's your name anyways?" The boy asked.
"Takumi," Takumi said.
"I see, well then Takumi, prepare to have your butt whooped by me: Nolan Tupper. Dalibor, transform!" Nolan told the person behind him.
"Dalibor Nitzel is here! Wailing on this guy should be pretty fun." Dalibor replied, changing into his weapon form; a large battle axe. "Let's cut him in half!" Dalibor screamed, just wanting to fight.
"So then, get your partner, I want this to be a fair fight." Nolan told Takumi
"He doesn't have a partner yet," Diego said, suddenly appearing on the scene.
"Oh, no partner, well I guess he'll just have to take my trashing head on!" Nolan said, and jumped at Takumi, swinging his partner down on him, but Takumi slid to the side to dodge with a look that only made Nolan even angrier.
"U-um, is it alright to just let them fight like this, Mr. Diego?" Mignon asked.
"This is how DWMA has always been," Diego replied and watch the fight.
"Stand still," Nolan shouted at Takumi, who was doing nothing but dodging Nolan's attacks with ease.
Nolan swung his ax at Takumi from the right, and Takumi ducked to avoid it then punched Nolan in his gut, making him let go of his weapon. He then delivered two more punches to his face to knock him down.
"Nolan!" Dalibor shouted as he transformed back and ran over to his partner.
"It's pointless." Takumi said, referring not to the battle with Nolan and Dalibor as it seemed, but rather to the need of a partner. Takumi did not need a partner; he didn't really even want one, which he suspected was why his and Mignon's wavelengths didn't match.
"A-amazing, he didn't even need a w-weapon," Mignon said to herself out loud.
"Congratulations on winning your first DWMA fight Takumi Watanabe." Diego told Takumi.
"Don't care," Takumi replied.
