Episode: Epilogue

After the actual announcement, a lot of male students cheered, "Hurray!"

"Finally! A beautiful girl is actually enrolled here!" shouted Hiro.

"You said it!" rejoiced Ox, who was subsequently hit on the head by Kim.

As the male student body celebrated with the new addition, elsewhere, those who really knew of the threat have immediately confronted the Shinigami.

"Honorable father," Kid had already entered the Death Room, "please, I would like to know what is going on? Why has that person become a Shibusen student?"

"Hmmm," he seemed to be thinking of an answer.

"Please, Shinigami-sama, tell us why you have made her a student." Azusa pleaded.

"Why? Is that bad?" he asked.

"OF COURSE IT IS!!!" everyone shouted.

"Oh come on, guys. Can't we just forgive and forget? You know, 'bury the hatchet' or something?" muttered Blair from the background.

"Oh yeah? Well, I know where I can bury the hatchet," Spirit's arm turned into a giant scythe blade.

"Why? You think you can actually take me on, old man?"

"Why you," he sneered, "don't think that you being a student will change anything!"

"Actually," the Shinigami spoke, "as a student of the school, anyone who tries to kill her will be deemed as an enemy of the school. This is a rule which applies to all of our students."

"But why?" asked Kid.

To elaborate further, the Shinigami presented them with a written contract which shows that the Shinigami has agreed to admit Blair as a student of Shibusen under the pretext that she divulges vital information that is crucial to the welfare of said school. She must be treated as a student and is herby permitted to enjoy all of the benefits that the status entails.

"If this is all too much for your minds to process, let me put it simply," Blair approached them with impunity, "I have just betrayed Mabaa-san. If she finds out, do you think she'd allow me to live after that?"

"And why, exactly, would you do such a thing?" Kid asked her.

"Need you ask? I did this because of you, Kid-kun," she was about to caress his cheek when Liz slapped her hand away and got between them.

"Ouch! Jealous much?" she smirked and left for the exit.

"Before you go," the Shinigami called out, "as a student, you'll also have to obey the rules and regulations of the school or else you'll be kicked out immediately, got it?" Blair looked back; she didn't seem happy at all with those words.

"As long as your little puppets know their place, I'll know mine." She disappears shortly. Meanwhile, Maka turns her attention back to the Shinigami and inquires on how they should handle the situation.

"Maybe it's best if we leave her alone for a while," said Marie. Stein agreed, "It's better this way, at least we'll be able to keep an eye on her movements." Unfortunately, the students didn't share her opinion and abruptly exited the room.

At the same time along the hallway, Blair found herself to be quite the celebrity. The students were all staring at her, some in awe, and others in envy. She gave them a sweet and innocent smile before continuing on her way out.

"Wow, she's so cool!" a group of girls were already becoming avid fans.

As she reached the front steps, Blair was amazed at the grand scenery of Death City. Since Shibusen was located on top of a high hill at the heart of town, the view was to be expected. Nevertheless, it invoked a feeling of nostalgia. Blair could see everything from the people, and the buildings planted below to the endless expanse of desert that surrounded them. The Laughing Sun was kind enough to hide behind some clouds so as not to make the day too hot. The lukewarm temperature felt great after being chained in a dark cold dungeon. With the cool breeze gently blowing about, she took a deep breath of fresh clean air.

"I think I'm going to like it here," she smiled to herself.

Author's Notes: To my valued readers, I would like to thank you all for being with me up to this point. I'm not really sure if this story is really going end here or go somewhere. Anyway, please let me know if I should continue writing the 2nd book/series-of-chapters of Soul Eater Chronicles. Thank you for your time.
