Sid collected the quizzes, put them in a container on his desk. "Now," He said, "is the Madness Test." Most of the class looked at him weird. "As you know, a while back, the Kishin was killed. But madness still lingers in all of us, so it must be checked to make sure we don't raise another Asura. Emi, please come here. Emi has a special skill. She can detect madness levels by feeling someones soul. Her father can also detect madness, but he can do it without physical aid. So let us begin." Sid asked each student to stand up. He explained that if their level was above 13%, they had to go to the Death Room immediately. Emi put her hand under a girl's bust and felt her soul.

"6." Emi said. She moved on to the boy sitting next to the girl. She put her hand on the same place and waited a few seconds, closing her eyes. "4." It went like this for half the class. She got to Ginger. "9." Then Wes. "11." The class looked at him. Emi moved on to Blake. "10. And note the Sister Effect." A weird look went to the Star child. She went through the others till she got to the twins. Adenine first. "8." Then Addison. "8." Emi put her hand under her bust, closed her eyes. "13." The class stared at her. "I'm not above, I'm fine. My soul is balanced." She stated plainly. "Sid, I'm going to move on to Marie's class, as my schedule said." Sid nodded, holding the door open for her to leave.

"Now that that is over, you can talk until lunch. After lunch is private practice outside, and then come back for mission lessons." Emi heard Sid tell the class. She turned down a few halls until she got to Mrs. Marie's room. She knocked 4 times.

"Come in, Emi." Her mother chimed. The NOT class was standing up, and ogled Emi as she walked in. A few gasped at her stitch. "This is Emi Stein, my daughter. She is in the EAT program and she will be conducting your Madness test." Emi went up to the first person in line, a girl that looked very nervous. When Emi placed her hand under the girl's chest, she squirmed a little.

"Don't do that, your nerves aren't helping." The girl stopped moving. Emi closed her eyes and stood there. She stood there for more than a few seconds. "Let go of your soul protect, please. Witches are welcome here." Emi whispered. The girl took in a sharp breath, and then released. Emi read her soul. "6." She moved on. Eventually, she got to Delly, smiled at her as she rested her hand under the girl's decent sized bust. "5." Then Rebecca. "12. And take note of Brother's Syndrome." The NOTs gave her questioning looks. She moved on to Jasper. He was calm, unlike most of the other kids. Emi had her hand on his chest. After a long moment of having her eyes closed, she looked him in the eyes. "0." But she didn't move on. Emi and Jasper had an awkward staring contest. Emi tried to study his soul.

"Emi, the rest of the class, please." Marie said. Emi nodded, went to the next student. It went on, never going above what Rebecca got. Emi then went to Marie.

"7. And now I must be going. But mom," She added under her breath, "who is the first girl? And the boy next to Reb?"

"Cantette Larson, Jasper Tate." Marie whispered to her daughter. "See you after school, sweetie!" She said louder, waving her out of the room. Rebecca passed a note to Jasper.

how are you a 0? -Rebecca

How are you a 12? And what is Brother's Syndrome? -Jasper

let's talk at lunch. -Reb

Okay. -J

Can you pay attention, guys? -Delly

:P -R

Emi walked calmly and swiftly to the office. She nodded when she passed Tsubaki, and went to the room filled with filing cabinets. She searched and found the two files she was looking for. She laid the two files down on the floor, and she started to read.

'Cantette Larson, Witch, Weapon (Long staff), 14, no partner yet'' Emi wrote on her hand.

'Jasper Tate, Meister, 14, no partner yet, 0 mad. lvl, further study' Emi wrote under that.

She put the files back and walked out. The bell rang for lunch. She ran so she could walk with Adenine and Addison. "Hey guys." She whispered. "I have a project for us." The twins looked at her, confused. She showed them her hand.

"He had a 0?" Adenine asked.

"I remember reading their files. We should ask your father about their souls, see if they match up." Addison said.

"I thought that their madness wavelengths would work together well." The girls were huddled together, walking and talking secretively. They were bonked on the head.

"What are you discussing so quietly?" Wes asked, his partner standing beside him.

"Don't block the hallway." Ginger said, pushing everyone forward. "And it's none of our business, Wes. They probably have a new project or something. And we don't mess with their projects."

"Did you finish your last project?" Wes asked.

"Almost." The twins and Emi said together.

"It shouldn't be that much longer, right?" Emi looked at the twins, who nodded their heads.

"They're probably going to announce it soon. Then we'll see if we were correct on our observations." Adenine smiled. They entered the cafeteria.

"Their wedding was 4 months, 2 weeks, and 6 days ago. And their honeymoon ended 3 months, 3 weeks, and 4 days ago. It's about time, I say." Addison added.

"Are you talking about Aunt Patty and Uncle Crona?" Wes asked.

"Maybe." They three said together. Wes rolled his eyes and followed his partner into the lunch line. The girls sat down at a table, took food out of their satchels. A sandwich, a juice box, and 2 oreos for each twin. Emi took a Chewy bar out of her pocket. They ate in silence, too many people around that could hear about their project if they discussed it. Emi watched Rebecca, Delly, and Jasper sit down at a table. She saw Cantette standing alone in a corner, sipping a Capri Sun. Emi got up, pointed at Cantette for the twins to see her, and then walked over.

"Hi." Emi said. Cantette started shaking. "No need to worry, Cantette."

"How do you know my name?" The young witch asked. Emi shrugged, and grabbed Cantette's hand.

"You shouldn't be sitting alone." Cantette didn't struggle or resist. She followed Emi.

"Whenever my brother is around, my madness increases and I go partially insane. You understand?" Rebecca explained to Jasper, who nodded. "Now, about your 0 madness."

"I don't know how I have no madness." Jasper said.

"Its not that you don't have madness, its just so minute and decimal, it can't possibly affect you." Emi interrupted. "This is Cantette. She's going to sit with you. Play nice." Emi pushed the girl, who sat down and smiled small. Emi walked back to her table.

"Hi." Cantette said.

"Hello." Delly and Rebecca replied. Jasper just stared at her.
