"I feel sick. Can't you just leave me at home?" I ask.
"No." Was Askatel's reply.
"Why?"
"Because."
"You make no sense."
"Hey, I'm not the overly paranoid princess."
"Shut up. You know I gave up that title."
"Yeah, because that was the same time I gave up my title as well." The two of us sigh at the same time. As usual, almost always in perfect sync. Some say it's actually pretty creepy how we can do that.
"Urgh... Fine. But if I have another nervous breakdown, I'm blaming you." With that said, I grab my bag and coat. The two of us walk to the school in silence. Save for my music blaring through my headphones.
We get to class minutes before the bell rings. Which is unusual for us since Askatel has been making a point of getting to class on time the whole time we've been here. It's a pain sometimes. But, at least we're not stuck to a super strict schedule. Anymore.
"Alright class, today we'll be practicing new fighting techniques. Though, I would like to do another dissection, Lord Death says we have to do this." Stein sighs. "Now, we'll be splitting up meisters and their weapons. To get a feel on how the two will do without each other. First, Maka and Soul."
As the two walk to the front of the room, Sid walks in. "Oh, and each team will be fighting both me and Sid."
They didn't last five minutes. Sid got Maka in a head lock and Stein just sat there most of the time. Tapping Soul's shoulder when he wasn't paying attention.
As each team goes up, they aren't much better than the first. Which only makes me worry. Askatel and my plan was to stay under the radar. This assignment will definatly blow that for us.
"Corin. Askatel." Gulping, I squeeze Askatel's hand before walking up.
Askatel's POV
As Corin and I walk towards the teachers, I can feel Corin trying to relax. She can't ever stay tense during a battle. Or, rather, be tense going into a battle. We each face one of the teachers. Corin faces Stein and I got Sid.
"Alright, Corin." Stein drones before one of the other kids start a timer.
Stein attacks first.
Okay, so I am just going to leave you all there. Sorry for not updating and for having this as such a short chapter! But this chapter is not finished, I decided to place it into two parts. So, just wait about a week or two for the next one to be finished. Thank you!
