"Apartment 2A...2A..." Nana muttered, looking around. She was going to meet her assigned partner Hisao today. He was a weapon that could turn into a kunisagi and a whip.
She reached the door after a few minutes. Three knocks drew the boy out.
"Hello?"
"Hisao-right?"
"Yeah, that's me. Who're you?"
"Nana, your new partner." His face lit up.
"Right, right. Come in. Watch your feet," Hisao said, pointing to a big plant to his left. Nana cautiously steeped in, taking in the surroundings. Hisao really seemed to love gardening. Plants sat on practically every surface and even hung from the ceiling.
"So tell me about yourself." Nana rubbed her knee.
"Well, I'm a newbie to the DWMA. My dad insisted I attend classes there." Hisao wiped his nose and began to trip away at a small bonsai tree lying in a fruit bowl.
"Yeah, being a newbie is tough. I got egged on my first day. Man, kids can be pricks." He gave out a bitter laugh. "You don't seem mean, though." He jabbed his scissors in her direction. She flinched.
"Consider yourself ok, partner."
