Tomorrow morning, the meister and weapons left Ghost home by herself with food and water out in case she out hungry. Luz had a LOT to get for Ghost after school and she was happy to do all of it alone but Amity still had her doubts about the alley cat turned pet.

"Amity, you need to chill out about that." Vee said.

"You say that but I can't. I can't help but poke at this nagging feeling, that cat isn't as normal as it appears." Amity said as they walked to school. "And I'm not just talking about its unique color."

"What proof do you need that it's normal? It coughs up a hair ball in front of us?" Vee asked.

"No, not that but still." Amity denied.

"If you want, you can come with me after school when I take Ghost to the vet." Luz said.

"Sure."

That at least put some of her worries to bed as they arrived at school, greeted their friends, and went to class. Only Luz, Vee, and Amity knew about their sub today but didn't say anything to the rest of the class.

"Well... this should be good." Luz said.

"Yep. I wonder what Eda will have for us today." Amity said as they walked into the classroom, seeing Eda wasn't at the desk. "But being late isn't a good start."

"Nope." Vee said as they walked to their seats.

Everyone in the classroom talked and waited for their teacher to arrive, before Eda and King walked in as the bell rang.

"Alright, Kids, I'm your substitute." Eda said.

"And I am her teaching assistant!" King shouted as he jumped into the desk. "For those that don't know, I am the legendary king of swords, Calibern!"

No one looked interested in this, thinking it was some weird demon.

"Okay, King, let's show them." Eda said.

King chuckled before he jumped in the air, transforming with a bright light before becoming a black handled long sword with a double-edged silver shine and a blue steel cross guard.

"Do I have your attention now?" Eda asked, with a smirk, "Everyone partner up with your miester and weapon, we're going to have class outside today."

Everyone watched as Eda walked out of the room, slowly looking to each other before they got up and quickly followed after her. They followed her all the way out to the front courtyard and smirked with her weapon on her shoulder.

"Welcome to today's lesson, kiddies. It's combat class, I point you out and you duke it out so I can see how strong you are." Eda said.

"First, I want to see Willow Park and Boscha Triplet against Cat Mists and Amelia Green." Eda said, "And try not to kill each other, that's more of a second day type of thing."

The two teams mentioned groaned a bit at that joke but stepped forward on two different sides of the courtyard. Boscha held a handout and Willow grabbed it, transforming into her staff mode. On the other side, Amelia jumped in the air and transformed. Cat grabbed her and held her towards Boscha.

"No hard feeling when we win, okay?" Boscha asked with a smirk.

"Back at ya." Cat replied as she held Amelia with both hands. "Ready to do this?"

"Whenever you are." Amelia replied in odachi form.

"Alright kiddies, show us what you got!" Eda shouted with a grin, stabbing King into the ground. "Begin!"

Cat charged at Boscha, with Amelia ready to attack. Boscha smiled.

"Ready, Willow?"

"Ready but try not to show off." Willow said to her.

"I promise….to try." Boscha said as she spun Willow around and clashed with Cat.

The staff and sword clashed making sparks fly.

"Willow, Vajra Sword form!"

"Right!" Willow said as the top part of her form spins and glows, making Cat pull back as she changed form.

Boscha spun her weapon in a new form, an emerald short sword.

'So she wants a sword fight, huh?' Cat thought as she charged back. 'Challenge accepted!'

She stabbed in rapid speeds as Boscha deflected and dodged the attacks, not moving from her spot. Cat swung her sword and Boscha deflected it. Boscha closed the distance and swung hat Cat, making her duck and kick Boscha away to gain some distance.

'So she needs some distance to attack with that long blade.' Eda thought, observing the both of them. 'And the other one, she can change weapon forms. That's pretty rare.'

"Willow, Axe form!"

Boscha spun around as Willow changed form again, extending her handle back to normal length and changing the sword into a double headed battle axe! She raised it up and swung down, forcing Cat to block and force her to a knee!

"Ugh!" Amelia groaned a bit.

"You okay?" Cat asked.

"Yeah. I'm good!" Amelia replied.

Cat went on the defensive as Willow's new form allowed for stronger strikes.

"Is that all you've got, Cat? I know you can do better!" Boscha said to her friend.

"Cat, we need to try it!" Amelia said to her, talking about their special attack.

"We're not ready!" Cat said to her as she blocked another hit, being push back with a skid.

"Well, we will lose either way, so let's try it!" Amelia said.

Cat let out a groan but nodded in agreement, even if this was a sparring match, she didn't want to lose! So they would have to go all out!

"Alright, let's do this!" Cat said as she spun Amelia into a reverse grip and held her left hand out.

"Let's go, soul resonance!" They said, forming a sphere of energy around them!

Amelia's blade began to glow green and extend.

'They already know soul resonance, impressive.' Eda thought with a small smile.

Cat charged at Boscha and spun Amelia back into normal grip!

"Triple Phantom Slash!" Cat shouted as she swung from the left, to overhead, and from the right!

Each slash left a phantom copy, like an after image that looked as real as the next one! Nobody could tell the difference as all three moved closer to Boscha and Willow!

"Willow, shield!"

"Right!" Willow shouted as her form changed a third time, retracting the handle and forming curved handle bar as her blades retracted in!

She then produced a 4 leaf clover shaped shield! Boscha used Willow and blocked each attack from Cat.

"Urgh!" Willow groaned, feeling the power behind the attack. "I can't do this forever!"

"We won't need to." Boscha said, "We're ending this. Let's go, Soul Resonance!"

The power of their souls syncing pushed Cat and Amelia back, making everyone gasp as Boscha looked ready to finish this battle.

"Club mode!" Boscha said.

"Right!" Willow said.

Willow became a large club with spikes in it. Due to Soul Resonance, Willow became bigger and the spikes became longer.

"Bludgen Basher!" Boscha said running and jumping.

She came down and slammed Willow onto the ground, right in front of Cat. The force behinds it made Cat fly back, crashing into the edge of the courtyard. Everyone watched as the dust cleared, revealing Cat being held by Amelia as the weapon changed back to take most of the impact.

"Ugh. You okay?" Amelia asked with a small groan but held a smile.

"Amelia, you don't have to do that." Cat said, moving up from the ground.

"I do, a weapon protects their miester, they drill that into every weapons head." Amelia said, letting her head hit the ground, "I think we lost."

"Well, at least we got Soul Resonance down." Cat said.

"That you did." Eda said as she walked over to them, very impressed. "You fought well and bonded smoothly with your weapon partner. You two and the others will be great some day but you should work on your defense more if your opponent gets close to you with your long weapon."

"Yes, ma'am." Cat and Amelia said as they got up and walked back to the class.

"Nice job, you two." Boscha said as Willow turned back to normal, nodding in agreement.

"Alright, time for the next match. Amity Blight, Noceda Twins, you're up against Skara Melody and Gus Porter!" Eda said, pointing the students out.

"Alright, Gus, let's do this." Skara said.

"You got it." Gus said, transforming.

He jumped into the air and flipped before becoming a weapon, large blue edge cleaver blades with a chain connecting them. Skara caught him and held him in a crossed position.

"Ready, girls?" Amity asked.

"Oh yeah!" Luz said with a smile.

"Always." Vee said before they transformed, becoming two twin black and white swords.

Amity grabbed them both and held in a relaxed position at her sides. She pointed Luz at Skara and made a "Bring It" motion with her.

"Alright, let the second match BEGIN!" Eda shouted.

Skara charged at great speed, clashing with Amity as they deadlocked!

'Dead lock, not surprising since they both use dual blades.' Eda thought.

Skara broke the deadlock and swung at Amity, making Amity move back before the range extending!

'Shoot!' Amity thought before looking to see Skara holding Gus with her bare fingers on one of his blades!

She reacted quickly and swung Vee to knock it away as Skara pulled Gus back and swung him around her body. Skara swung Gus at her again, this time Amity used Luz to block. This repeated several times before Amity decided to try it herself.

"Are one of you okay with my throwing you?" Amity asked.

"No. Which one?" Vee asked.

"Luz, it's time to fly." Amity said, quietly, "Just need to wait for the right opening."

"Alright, let's do this!" Luz said, feeling pumped.

Amity went on the attack, slashing at Skara as she blocked each and every attack.

'She's planning something, I know that look.' Skara thought as she flew a wide kick, making Amity duck under.

Skara swung Gus at Amity, expecting the closer range to result in ending this. To her surprise, she threw Luz at Gus, making the two collide and get stuck as their blades hit the ground. Amity ran at Skara and rolled behind her. Amity wrapped her arm around Skara, pulling her close, and pressing Vee against Skara's neck.

"Ready to give up?"

Skara gulped at this but kept a strong face, gazing towards Gus as he and Luz were still in the ground.

"Give up? What makes you think I would give up?" Skara asked before elbowing Amity in the chest, making her back away with a groan! "A meister can fight without their weapon!"

To prove her point, Skara turns and begins punching or kicking at Amity as she dodging the attacks. Amity got fed up and caught Skara's next punch. She looked Skara in the eyes, with a brief glowing coming from Amity's eyes, as she slammed Vee's handle against Skara's shoulder, dislocating it. Eda smiled, that's exactly what she was looking for. Lord Belos' theory may be right. These kids were strong and could become stronger with a little help from her.

'I might just change my mind about becoming a teacher here just for the money.' Eda thought, 'Still going to have to tell the bonehead that he might be right, though. Guess I know what I'm doing after class.'

Back with the spar, Skara had jumped back with several flips as her limp right arm flapped in the air until she was next to Luz and Gus.

"I'm taking my partner back. Sorry." Skara said before kicking Luz towards Amity, who caught her, and removed Gus from the ground.

"So, are you going to quit, or do I have to SEVER your arm?" Amity asked.

"You think this is the first time my arm got broken or dislocated?" Skara asked as she skillfully twirled Gus around her.

"Cute." Amity said, before charging.

Skara spun and threw Gus into the air, quickly securing her dislocated arm into a better position before catching her and rushing to Amity! Skara used her good arm and threw Gus, which Amity blocked with Luz. As he was in the air, Skara flipped and kicked at Amity, who dodged, as she tumbled around and caught Gus.

'Was that capoeira?' Amity thought.

She wasn't surprise that Skara knew a Brazilian martial arts form, she was born in Brazil after all. She lived there for about eight years before her family moved to Nevada. Hence the reason she lost her accent. Amity remembers when she first met Skara when they were kids, she couldn't understand anything Skara said.

'She must've keep up her training and incorporated it into her fighting style.' Amity thought as she continued blocking and dodging Skara's attacks. 'If I can find out her rhythm, I can counter her!'

Eda watched with interest.

'Using a unique fighting style while using her weapon with one arm, impressive.'

Everyone began cheering as Amity tapped her foot, memorizing Skara's rhythm before she dodged the next attack, spinning her partners in her hands to block and push Skara back as she began using rookie ballet to fight back.

'This fight could go on for hours.' Eda thought, 'These two would be an unstoppable miester team.'

Thinking more about a team, Eda looked to Boscha, Willow, Cat and Amelia. A team of all of them, they really WOULD be unstoppable then.

'I should get a raise for this idea.' She thought before decided to end this battle.

"Alright, that's enough!" Eda shouted as she rushed in and deflected their attacks, making them both stumble back. "Let's call this match a draw. I don't need you destroying the school."

"That seems like a bit much, they're too weak to destroy this building." King commented, getting glared at by Amity and Skara.

"That was uncalled for." Amity said as Luz and Vee turned back to normal.

"Seriously." Skara added as Gus turned back and reset her dislocated arm. "Ow. Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"Alright you five, join the rest of your classmates and we'll move on to the next spar. We should have enough time for at least two more." Eda said to them.

Eda looked through the class, when she noticed something... Emira was coming back from her mission.

'Perfect, a battle against a three star meister will definitely bring out some fun.'

"Hey, Kid! Want to show some of these youngers how a strong Meister does it!?" Eda called out.

Emira smirked and held Edric in her hands.

"Sure."

Emira made her way to the class, making everyone but Amity gasp in awe. This was Emira Blight, the fastest rising three star meister in DWMA history, and she was right here before their class! The only ones not impressed by her was Amity. Amity had a bit of a problem with her siblings. Not that she didn't like them, but the fact that she was constantly expected to be like them annoyed her. Because of their parents, Emira and Edric had one of the strongest Soul Wave lengths in the world. Amity didn't and it made her bitter that she didn't get anything from her dad or... the one that shall not be named. Because of that, Amity had to work twice as hard to become as strong as she is today. Even having two weapon partners, who are her closest friends and would always support her, we're to help make up for her weaker soul wavelength.

'Ugh, why did she have to return today?' Amity mentally groaned as Emira stood before the class.

"Alright, everyone, who wants to test their metal against little old me?" Emira asked with a tiny smile.

Just as she said that, an arrow embedded itself into the ground in front of her.

"I do."

Everyone looked up to where the voice came from, gasping at the sight of not only another three star meister, but at the sight of Lord Belos's nephew and the next Grim Reaper, Hunter Belos standing on top of one of the school spikes. He pulled back Viney's string and fired it, knocking Edric out of Emira's hand, before disappearing in a cloud of smoke and reappearing in front of Emira.

"Think you can handle me?" Hunter asked.

"Hmm." Emira let out, looking over Hunter from top to bottom before giving her answer. "Maybe, maybe not. How about we find out?!"

Emira threw a high kick, which Hunter dodged and swung Viney, before Emira lowered her foot to block and rebound off! She backflipped three times before she picked up Edric and span him in her hands before pointing him at Hunter.

'Wow, she's even more amazing in person.' Viney thought in awe and blushing.

The two charged, with Emira swinging Edric, only for Hunter to block with Viney.

"So, you are good." Hunter commented.

"Yeah, and you haven't seen anything yet." Emira said as she looked over his weapon. "Nice looking weapon too, thought bows were just for long distance."

"She's good at long and short distance." Hunter said.

"Prove it." Emira said as she pushed him back.

Hunter shot more arrows at Emira as she deflected them with Edric and stabbed at Hunter, who quickly jumped with a spin to land on her left! He swung Viney at Emira, but she managed to block it with ease. She spun Edric around as Hunter backtracked, but she followed him, slicing up the ground in the process.

"She's good!" Viney said with a smile.

"True but let's see how she handles this!" Hunter said as he jumped, pulling the string back and launched an arrow that burst into dozens!

Emira spun Edric in front of her, deflecting every arrow. One arrow turned into a rope and caught Edric, making him fly out of Emira's hands and stand into the ground behind Hunter.

"Same tactic? Expect more!" Emira shouted as she charged, her fists giving off strange flames.

'Her soul wavelength control can be projected as flames?' Hunter thought as Emira began striking at him, making him dodge her attacks, 'She's good, stronger than her mother.'

'And NOTHING like her mother.' Viney thought as Emira made soul flames from her feet and launched herself over him!

She reclaimed Edric and smirked at Hunter.

"I think it's time to end this, don't you?" Emira asked with a smirk.

"Agreed." Edric said to his sister.

Emira positioned Edric in a reverse hold and looked at Hunter.

"Let's go, Soul Resonance!" They shouted.

Everyone, except Amity, watch in awe as Emira and Eda's soul wavelength expanded around them in a large orb with soul flames around it!

"Oh, so this is very impressive. I suppose I should return in kind." Hunter said as he pointed Viney at Emira. "Ready to impress, Viney?"

"Always." Viney replied.

"Soul Resonance!" They shouted as their souls connected and expanded into a large orb, covered in a golden light and stars floating around it.

"Uh, this... doesn't seem like it will end well." Luz said.

"No it doesn't." Vee said as she shook her head. "I think we should move away now."

"My thoughts exactly." Amity said as she grabbed her weapon partners and dragged them back.

Emira and Hunter charge.

"Soul Blaze!" Emira shouted as she slashed, unleashing a wave of flames!

"Golden Oblivion!" Hunter shouted as he fired a giant golden arrow!

Their attacks hit each other, making a massive explosion that shook the ground. The students watching were pushed back, some falling to the ground as the energy from the explosion was heading towards them! They screamed and prepared for the impact before Eda appeared in front of them and slashed King to block the energy!

"A powerful Miester and a Reaper fighting each other can cause massive destruction, together though, they could be unstoppable." Eda said.

"My thoughts exactly."

Surprising Eda and the students, everyone looked to see Lord Belos was standing next to the oldest meister with a smile on his face.

"I have been thinking for sometime of assigning Hunter and Viney a teammate or teammates to help them on certain missions. I think Emira and Edric Blight would perfect for that. Don't you?" Belos asked Eda.

"Yeah, they would." Eda said, overcoming her shock from his appearance.

"And you made sure to keep an eye on… the person I spoke about?"

"Yes."

"Good." Belos said with a nod as the explosion died down, revealing Hunter and Emira on the ground with injuries.

Their weapon partners turned back to normal and checked on their meisters.

"Alright, might be time to call it before they kill each other."

"Right." Eda said as she walked towards the two teams and smiled at them. "Alright, 3 stars, you've shown you metal. Now head to the school nurse and get fixed up."

Emira groaned in response and got up.

'Damn, he's as good as the rumors at.' Emira thought before she saw Viney, silently gasping with wide eyes. 'SHE is his weapon partner?! She's beautiful!'

Viney bent over and helped Hunter up, giving Emira a nice view. That white Tiger print jumpsuit was NOT hiding anything and Emira was loving every moment of it…until Edric came into her line of sight.

"Em? You okay? You got that blank look you get when you don't think." Edric said, ruining her thoughts. "You don't hit your head too hard, did you?"

'Damn it Edric!' Emira thought, 'I almost had that saved in my memory.'

Viney had gotten Hunter off the ground, patting some dust off him as he looked to the twins as Emira pushed her brother out of her line of sight.

'They're strong. Maybe even as strong as me, impressive.' He thought as he glanced at Viney. 'And she might have a shot if Emira's staring is a sign.'

"Come on, let's go." Hunter said.

The group made their way past the class, right as the bell rang.

"Alright kiddies, that's it for today." Eda said to the class, bringing them out of their awe, "Alright, boss, let's go talk in private about what I saw."

Belos nodded to Eda as they went towards her classroom, where they would be alone long enough before the next class came in.

Once Eda closed and locked the door she looked at Belos.

"That flash in the Blight Girls eyes... you know what that is?" Eda asked.

"That girl, just like her siblings, are the product of a powerful Meister and a Death Scythe." Belos said, "Her siblings were born conceived before Alador became a Death Scythe, they inherited their mothers powerful wave length... Amity though... she's different. She was conceived after her father became a Death Scythe... and while the twins inherited the Wavelength-"

"Amity took more after her father." Eda said, "But... if that's true... then how is she a Meister?"

"She's more than a Meister... she's also a weapon, more specifically... she's a Death Scythe." Belos said.
