The students at the Death Weapon Meister Academy got along well with one another, except Maka Albarn. The trouble with Maka was that she was perfect. At least that is how it seemed to the other students. She was always friendly and always cheerful. Nothing ever upset her, except sometimes she gets annoyed by her roommate Soul, who sometimes do stupid things only for him to receive a Maka Chop. She's always seen frequently studying. Her School assignments were always on time, and always perfect. Maka was like an example of a hard working student.
Many of the student resented Maka. They would have liked to see her fail at something-- become frightened, or cry, or do something that showed she had weaknesses like they did. One night several students try to frighten Maka with a practical joke. They borrowed the hand of a corpse they had been studying in anatomy.The corpse used to be a former teacher at DeathWeapon Meister Academy name Sid Barret.
They went to Maka's room and tied the dead hand to the light cord in her closet. When she try to turn on the light, she would find herself holding a dead man's hand. "That would scare anybody," said one of the students. "If it doesn't scare her, nothing would."
After tying the hand in place, they went to the movies. When they got back, Maka was asleep. But when they didn't see her the next morning, they decided to find out what had happened. There was no sign of Maka in her room. But they soon found her. She was sitting on the floor in her closet staring at the dead man's hand and mumbling to herself. Maka didn't even look up. The "joke" had worked, but nobody was laughing. Since then the students stop resenting Maka after what they did to her.
