*Alarm sound…
A hand emerged from underneath the covers blindingly looking for the god forsaken thing that was making such a noise. Finally, after failing in turning it off a blade was released and cut the alarm clock in half.
"Imouto- chan you're going to be late!" called out Spirit
"Argh why did I take up on an offer knowing that I'm not a morning person!" Light managed to croak out
Light got up unwillingly and proceeded to take a shower, after 20minutes she came out half awake. Spirit had breakfast already for her.
"Good morning." he said as he kissed her forehead
"Hn" she responded with her eyes half open
"Does your head hurt?" Spirit asked concerned
"No, I'm just so sleepy. Why can't Shinigami- sama have evening classes instead of morning classes?"
"Because the students won't have time to study, maybe their parents will have them do chores before school. Once they arrive to school they will be tired and will not be able to focus on their studies."
"Hmmm good point."
Light ate her breakfast. She got her papers for today's lesson. Spirit and Light walked to school together, it was still early so the school was empty.
*School's Gym Lockers:
She had changed into her uniform and began to stretch.
"I'm glad to see your doing well."
Light turned to the person.
"Oh Medusa, I'm sorry I didn't see you there."
"It's ok, now I believe I told you to report to me today."
"I'm sorry I got caught up in today's lesson plans."
"It's fine. I just need a blood sample. You don't mind do you?"
Medusa had a syringe with her, she took out some blood. Light was quietly sitting down looking at the way her blood made its way to fill the tube. It was rather quiet so Light decided to ask a question.
"How long have you been a nurse?" Light asked,
"About 5 years now, all done, now don't overdo it." warned Medusa
"I won't."
"See you later Light."
"Right."
It was 10minutes before class began.
"Imouto- chan are you sure you don't want to rest, I don't mind teaching the class today."
"Please nii-san you forget about the mission we took in our final year, the one where we had to take on the three banshees, it was just you and me and if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be here."
"They sure were beautiful."
"See what I mean."
The bell rang signaling the beginning of class, the day carried out like the day before. But instead of handing out uniforms and passing out the class syllabus she had a lesson, so it was her first day of lesson. A bit nervous at first Light was having difficulty in explaining the training techniques since each class was a different level. Light had to make sure not to mix the techniques, but with Spirit by her side things went smoothly.
*Lunch time…
"Aaah why is it that today seems longer than yesterday?" Light asked as she sat with Spirit eating their lunch
"Because yesterday was the first day and the only thing you had to do was hand out the uniform and syllabus, but today you're actually teaching. How are you feeling? I was a bit concern because of your injury."
"I feel fine I just… I was never good at school, I don't even know what Shinigami-sama was thinking about when he made me a teacher."
"Bad at school… I agree, but you were good in the other fields. Especially when it came to combat." said Spirit ruffling Lights hair
"True."
"You and Stein where-"
"Don't."
Spirit saw how just with the mention of his name Light would response aggressively. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch, Spirit and Light cleaned up and waited for the students to arrive.
*6th period: Girls Gym Locker.
"Hey Maka-chan."
"What is it Tsubaki-chan?"
"What do you think Light-san will teach us today?"
"I don't know Tsubaki-chan, I never saw my aunt in combat. I did hear that she was deadly, her skills match those of an assassin."
"How long was she absent before her return?"
"About 5years."
"Was she on a world tour like your mom?"
"Yeah, she would send me postcards from time to time but a few months before she came back she stopped."
"Maybe she knew she was coming and wanted to surprise you." said Tsubaki with a smile
"Yeah." Maka smiled back
They all went into the classroom. Spirit was there but not Light.
"Ok class today we are going to have a little hand to hand combat, a meister has to have some combat skills for whenever your weapons become unable to assist. The same goes for the weapons, if their meister becomes unavailable."
Maka looked a bit down with the memory of Soul being injured but she was determined to train hard and make herself stronger for him.
"Alright the first technique I'm going to show you is an inward blocking technique for a punch that is coming straight at you. Spirit will advance me and I am going to bring my hand up to my ear and block straight across. Since the punch is coming straight towards me I need to make sure that I clear my whole face with my arm, if you do half then you're going to get punched in the nose so bring it up to your ear and you're going to block straight across, keep your forearm as much straight up and down as possible, you're going to bring the next one up and block, as you get better at this you can go faster and you want to pull your hand back as the other one comes across. Keep your fist leveled with your head. You don't ever want to dip underneath your chin because a punch coming to your face you would want to block that."
Light faced Spirit. Spirit took speed and aimed straight for Lights face. Lights feet parted a bit to be aligned to her shoulders, she raised her right hand to her ear and brought it up clearing her face from the incoming punch. As Spirit was going for another blow Light raised her left hand to her ear and pulled back bringing it with much force across clearing her break. The students watched in awe as Light and Spirit picked up speed, you couldn't really see her blocking just see Spirit trying to land a blow.
"She's fast!" thought Maka along with the rest of the kids
"And that students is an inward block, please get with a partner other than your weapon or meister and begin practicing, Spirit and myself will be going around supervising. If you need any help please let me or Spirit know."
*Death room:
"Oooh that was splendid!" said Shinigami as he stood in front of the mirror with Stein and Sid beside him.
"She's fast." acknowledged Sid
"Indeed she is. I have never seen her in combat. I wonder what she will teach next?" wondered Shinigami
"Her syllabus indicates that one move will be taught each day, at the end of the week she will test each student on the techniques learned in that week." stated Sid
"Of course each class learns differently due to their different levels. For example the first couple of periods are given more time to learn such techniques and the rest don't. Leave it to Light to put them to the test." said Stein
"Of course she has to Stein-Kun, the once that are advanced are those that get the most missions therefore need to be on their heels if they want to survive." said Shinigami
Back at the classroom:
"Imouto-chan?"
"Hm?"
"Seeing that each class is picking up the material pretty well, are you going to make some changes?" wondered Spirit
"Right now it's only the beginning and yes the students are picking up the material rather well, so I might change these upcoming lessons to be learned in a week. However when we start getting to the hard part I will take note if the students have difficulty or not learning the techniques. If they have difficulty I will give them a few days to learn the techniques but if it's the same, the due date will remain the same." said Light
"I see."
"Don't worry nii-san these students, from what I've observe, are bright. I don't think there will be much of a problem." Light said smiling at him
Maka had paired up with Tsubaki and Soul with Black Star. Kirikou Rung along with Pot of Fire and Pot of Thunder paired up with Death the Kid Patti and Liz.
"Alright Tsubaki-chan don't hold back." said Maka
"Right."
Tsubaki advanced Maka, they were doing pretty well unlike others. Soul and Black Star were… more like not doing much. Black Star kept rambling on how big and godly he was he didn't need any training.
"Is that so?"
Light was right behind Black Star, Black Star turned to her.
"Yes!" he said determined
"Well then, you don't mind sparring with me do you?" an evil smirk formed in her face
"No I don't mind. Let's do this!"
"Just you, no weapon." Light said more menacingly
"Alright students back to your seats!" cried Spirit
*Death Room:
"Black Star just dug his own grave." said Stein
"Uh?" both Shinigami and Sid said
"Watch the fight."
*Back at the classroom:
Light and Black Star faced each other.
"Whenever you're ready Black Star, I will give you the honor to advance me and try to bring me down." Light said enthusiastically
Black Star started to breathe.
I will end it quickly, the three steps of an assassin.
"You can't always rely on that you know, the assassins code." Light said
Black Star looked at her and suddenly disappeared.
"You're too slow." she stated
She stuck her left hand out and grabbed Black Star by his collar throwing him to the wall, Black Star regained his posture and advanced Light head on.
"You've got guts kid, I'll give you that much."
Just when you thought Black Star was going to punch her straight in the face, he dodged and tried to knock Light off balance with his kick. But Light was too fast, she cart wheeled by him and grabbed his right leg and arm and as she came to a stand swung him across the room. Black Star was getting mad.
"She's just toying with me!"
"What's the matter Black Star? Can't seem to bring me down? No more games, if you don't defeat me in the next 5min before class ends you will have to stay after class along with Soul and practice today's techniques until you get it."
"Five minutes is all I need." Said Black Star
He gained speed and ended up behind Light, he was about to perform soul menace when Light turned around and easily blocked him with the inward block she had taught earlier.
"You're open!"
Light pulled her right arm back and shot it out directly at Black Star's face hitting him straight in the nose, she didn't give him a chance to recover. She easily jabbed him in the space between his shoulder and chest, making him unable to move quickly. With one swift kick to the side of his head sent Black Star crashing to the wall.
"BLACK STAR!" cried Tsubaki
"Imouto-chan." said Spirit worriedly
The bell rang.
"Class is dismissed."
Everyone left quietly except Soul, Maka, Death the Kid, Patti, Liz and Tsubaki.
*Death Room:
"Light lost contro." said Sid
"She never learned how to control her strength." stated Stein
"Seems like Black Star got more than he bargained for but he won't grow to be strong if he is not put in place every once in a while." said Shinigami
*Back at the classroom:
"I underestimated you Light sensei." coughed Black Star
"Of course you did, that's why I am the teacher. I am stronger than you therefore must teach you how to become far stronger than me, but your arrogance gets the best of you." said Light offering him a hand
Black Star took her hand and got up.
"Yes sensei."
"Now go see Medusa sensei."
"I will go with him." said Tsubaki as she helped him out
Light saw as Tsubaki helped Black Star, he seemed alright. Light turned to see Maka and the rest, they seemed to be, uncertain.
"Questions?" Light asked a little serious
"No Light sensei." answered Maka shyly
*Sigh…. "I'm sorry that you had to see that but when it comes to the battlefield there is no time to act up. Things can change so quickly in a battlefield living you completely vulnerable." said Light
"We understand onee-chan." answered Kid
"Bravo!"
Everyone turned to see Shinigami, Sid and Stein coming inside the classroom. Light immediately stiffened, Maka could feel her aura becoming heavy. Maka followed Lights death glare towards Stein.
Onee-chan and Stein? What's going on? She looks… murderous.
"The lesson was splendid, they all were actually. Light- chan you're an excellent teacher." praised Shinigami
"Thanks." Lights answer was flat
Shinigami, Sid and Stein stood a few feet away from Light and the kids. She was in the middle of the kids and Spirit was the one who had put a few more feet of space between them.
"Light-chan you remember Sid-kun?" said Shinigami
Light looked at the blue man standing on the left side of Shinigami.
"Weren't you human?" she asked
"That was the kind of man I used to be until Stein turned me into a zombie." Sid said
"And you allowed this?" she said staring Shinigami down
Shinigami saw how her hands had bawled into fists and her body was beginning to shake, she closed her eyes trying to slow her breathing. Maka stood beside her looking at her with worry.
Why is she being like this?
"I need to plan tomorrows lecture so if you'll excuse me."
As soon as she had said 'excuse me' she was already heading to the back door.
"Must be important… oh well, children go and change. I'm pretty sure you all have plans for the weekend." said Shinigami
The kids left leaving Shinigami, Spirit, Sid and Stein behind.
"Why would you allow Stein near her Shinigami-sama?" asked Spirit a bit mad
"She did seemed angry, she is not the woman she used to be." said Sid
Shinigami and Stein remained quiet.
"If you don't grant her wishes you will bring out the worst in her Shinigami- sama." Spirit stated concerned
