Welcome to the DWMA!
New students enrolling?
~Airi~
"Riley...?" I forced myself to speak to my meister. "Where are we going?"
"To school. We are going to the Death Weapon Meister Academy." He didn't bother to look at me.
I looked down at the stone road we were walking up. The school was easily seen from our new apartment. Everything was so much brighter here. So much more lively. This was the beginning.
We climbed the steps of the school. I looked up at the massive building in awe. It was gigantic. It looked so important. Riley led me inside past groups of students. We ended up in some sort of classroom where we found a place to sit in the benches. Other students came and decided to take their seats.
I watched as two girls came into the room. The first was a stuck up girl with dark brown hair. The second was a girl much like me. She avoided all eye contact with everything. Her black hair covered some of her face. I watched as both of them sat a step beneath us.
"This should be easy enough." The stuck up girl commented while the other looked down.
Suddenly a boy with light blue spiked hair jumped onto the teachers desk. "EVERYONE LOOK AT ME! Iiiiiii'm BLACK STAR!"
A blond haired girl with pony tails smashed his head with a large book. "Do it again I dare ya!"
A tall black haired girl proceeded to apologize while a white haired boy laughed. They all found their seats.
"They're all weak." I heard the stuck up whisper to the black haired girl.
I looked down at my desk.
"You're weak."
Riley's voice entered my head again. I shook my head.
"C'mon kid! Wake up!" A tall brunette yelled at the black haired kid on her back.
"Kiiiid!" A matching blond giggled and smacked his back a few times.
The three walked over to the other weirdoes from before and sat down.
"What happened to Kid?" The white haired boy asked.
"Ugh Kid wouldn't stop staring at how asymmetrical the hallways were." The brunette explained.
I tuned the rest out. Those were some weird people.
"Pathetic." She commented again.
I put my elbows on the wooden desk on front of me and pressed my fists into my head.
"You're pathetic, you know that? You're worthless, pathetic, and you're weak."
The words bore into my head again. I squeezed my eyes shut as the feeling creeped up on me again. I can't. Can't do that now.
I looked up as a man with a gigantic screw in his head rolled in on a chair. The students quieted down.
"Is that freak with the screw in his head our teacher?" She spoke again.
He crossed his arms on the back of his chair. "Class. For those of you that don't know me I am Professor Stein." The light shown off his glasses. "Since we have new students this semester we should take this class time to introduce ourselves."
"No introduction is needed. They'll learn my name soon enough."
"Heh." Riley said. "He only said that because he has nothing planned for today."
"How can you tell?" I looked into Riley's red eyes.
"Its obvious."
The class began introducing each other.
"Hey you." Riley called down to the stuck up.
~Cleopatra~
"Who are you talking to boy?" I turned around, annoyed.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm staring straight at you." The neat looking black haired boy shot back at me.
"What is it you want?" I rolled my eyes. "I don't have time for you."
He smiled, amused. "I'm guessing you're the meister. My name is Riley."
His weapon leaned forward to mine and smiled. "Who are you? I'm-"
"Airi!" Riley pulled his weapon back into her seat. "Don't talk to her."
I laughed. "Your control of your weapon amuses me. I'm Cleopatra. Remember it, or never talk to me again."
Airi stared at Amunet, my shy weapon. Amunet kept her eyes down and didn't look up. Airi looked down and sighed.
"What kind of weapon do you have?" Riley inquired.
"A stealthy knife. Easy to hide. She's temperamental occasionally, however."
Riley smirked. "Mine is a curved sword. A better weapon than yours."
I crossed my arms. "Hmph. I'll believe it when I see it."
Riley smiled amusingly. "Let's hope it doesn't come to that."
This guy thinks he's better than me? Hah! I chuckled. "For your sake, hopefully not."
"You think your weapon is better?" He doubted.
I smirked. "I know it is."
"You've got too much confidence for being a meister of a weak weapon like that."
"Ha! At least mine knows when she's allowed to talk."
"True. Your weapon is more obedient." He gave in.
"Hmph! I don't need to be told that, boy." I rolled my eyes and turned around.
"It's Riley. Remember it or never speak to me again." He repeated what I had said earlier.
I smiled, amused. "Cute."
The freak of a professor wheeled himself behind his desk where books were stacked. "Everyone line up to receive your books!"
I rolled my eyes again. "What do we need books for?"
~Airi~
"Go get ours." Riley ordered me.
I stood up and walked over to the long line of students. The shy girl walked up behind me, looking at the floor. I turned around and smiled at her.
"So i'm Airi!"
She quickly looked over at her meister before turning back to me. She smiled shyly. "Amunet."
I smiled unsure of what I was supposed to say now.
"Um, are you from here?"
"No..." I looked down. "We just moved here yesterday though.."
"I just moved here with Cleopatra." She avoided eye contact. " We came all the way from Egypt."
I thought for a while. I've never heard of a place called Egypt. "What's it like there?"
"Well there's a lot of sand... And it's hotter..."
I made a face. "I wouldn't like it much there."
"I guess most people wouldn't."
It was my turn to get books. The professor stared at me from behind his glasses. He looked bored. I took two books off the stack.
"Why two?" He asked, tapping his pen on the desk.
"One for me and my meister."
He wrote down the numbers of the books. "Your names?"
"Airi and Riley." I watched as he wrote it down before I left.
I set the books on my desk and sat down.
"Class is dismissed." Stein finally announced.
The class began to leave. I watched as Cleopatra and Amunet stood and left. I followed Riley outside. We then proceeded to walk home.
~Cleopatra~
"Hmph. Now what?" I thought out loud. Thats right. "We need to finish unpacking."
Amunet followed me down the steps of the school. We followed Riley and his weapon at a distance down the road to our house. They stopped and went inside their apartment while we kept walking to the next building. I unlocked the door.
"They have an apartment near us..." Amunet pointed out.
"So what?" I said annoyed as I went inside.
~Airi~
"I saw you talking to that girl in line." Riley pointed out making my heart beat faster. "After I told you not to."
I looked down. "I'm sorry..."
Riley ignored me and pulled out a black notebook. He sat down on the couch. "Well, tell me about them." He ordered as if I should have already told him.
He began to read whatever was written in the notebook.
"The meister is Cleopatra..." I fumbled with my fingers. "She seems like she might be a problem..."
"But you're much stronger than she is."
I nodded slowly looking at the floor. "There's something off about her soul though..."
"Ignore it. Everyone has their problems and it's not your business."
I slowly nodded again. "The weapon is Amunet... She's... Like me."
"Oh really?" Riley dared. "It seems to me that she is more disciplined than you are. She actually tries while you're pathetic and useless."
I closed my eyes. He's right. I should be better than this...
"If you don't say anything then you'll be sleeping outside again." He pushed me to answer.
I looked up at him. "I don't wanna sleep outside! It's creepy and dark and things make noises that scare me!" I closed my eyes. "You're right. I should be better than this. I should be better than everyone like you want me to be.." I looked down.
"Very well then." He shut his notebook and stood, smirking. "Let's go get you something to eat."
