"This is not going to be fun." I said to Silara as we walked down the hall.

"Oh, I dunno. It might be…" she replied back.

"I don't think so. Weapons' Training is supposed to be for little kids. We're going to be the only ones our age."

"Yeah, probably. Hey, what class is it in?"

I checked the scrap of paper Stein had given me a few days ago. "Um… Room 201."

We both glanced at the numbers above the doors. "That's Room 213. I think we passed it." Silara said. I stopped and walked backwards until I found Room 201. I let out a long, exasperated breath as we walked through the door. We both stared dumbly at what we saw. A group of kids our age, sitting around on the floor waiting for Stein. Silara and I sat in the back, away from everyone else. After a few minutes of complete and utter silence, we heard squeaky wheels in the hallway and knew Stein was here. He rolled into the classroom slowly and stopped right before he ran into the teacher's desk. Stein scanned the room and found me and Silara. He gave us a look that said 'I told you so' but I ignored him.

"Hello class. Let's begin, shall we?" he asked. There was a bunch of noise from the others, who seemed to be very excited about this. I rolled my eyes and went down with the rest of the kids, Silara following behind me. Looking closer at the faces, I recognized a few kids from class. There was a girl whose name I remember to be Cupid Aijou, she was a battle-ax and her blade was shaped like a heart (not a surprise considering her last name meant 'love' in Japanese) and her partner, Kanari. Cupid and Kanari both had pink hair; Kanari's hair was more of a fuchsia color, whereas Cupid's was fluorescent-pink. They looked like they could've been sisters, despite the fact that Cupid was paler and has magenta eyes, Kanari having blue eyes. She reminded me of cotton candy. She wore a white blouse with blue buttons and cuffs, a matching blue cheerleader-style skirt, and pink flats. Cupid was wearing a purple baseball cap, a red tank-top that matched the heart on her hat, green camouflage capris, and purple sneakers. I decided to sit next Cupid and Kanari. Stein clapped his hands to get our attention.

"Okay, as you all know, this is Weapons' Training. Most of you aren't really familiar with actually fighting with your partner, which is why you're here." Stein told us. He was right, we did know this. "You may begin training." There was another roar of excitement as everyone but me and Silara stood up and began fighting fake Kishins. We were a little nervous about this, seeing as I've never held her before, let alone the fact that I don't even know what kind of weapon she is.

"Silara, Angel. Why aren't you fighting?" Stein asked us.

"Just a little nervous…" Silara told him. I nodded my head in agreement.

"Well, don't be. Silara, transform. Angel, be ready to catch her." he said, a little harshly. We stood up and there was a small glow coming from Silara as she got smaller until she was in weapon form.

"Katana, nice." I said as I caught Silara in my hands. She appeared in the blade, naked. If I hadn't had a weapon before, this would've weirded me out. A lot.

"Thank you. Everyone in my family from my father's side is a type of sword." Silara told me cheerfully. I saw a corner full of training equipment and went over there, not wanting to fight in front of others. I found out the Kishin dummies actually moved, making it harder to kill them. But it wasn't hard at all for me. I managed to slice up four 'Kishins' in the time it took everyone else to do two.

Soon after my sixth 'kill', Stein called break. I sighed and threw Silara up in the air. She glowed again and got bigger until she was back to human form.

"Great job everyone. You're really making progress." Stein told us. We all had a drink of water and went back to training.

After another hour, Stein came over and I almost lopped his head off.

"Sorry, Stein. Need something?" I asked him casually.

"Well, actually, yes."

"And that would be?"

"I have an assignment for you."

I stopped what I was doing and let Silara go back to human form. "Already? B-but Stein, we're hardly qualified. This is only our first day of Weapons' Training." Silara said. Stein nodded his head understandingly.

"I know. But you two show quality that I don't see from many students until their second year at the academy. You are qualified."

Silara and I looked at each for a moment. I nodded my head. "Alright, Stein. What's your assignment?" I asked him cautiously. He smiled at me and his eyes shone with satisfaction behind his glasses.

"There's a Kishin report up in the mountains, a little ways away from Death City. You girls and another group will go up there and battle him."

"If it's just one Kishin, why not send a regular team to kill 'im?"

"Because, this Kishin is very strong and powerful. It requires a full team to execute him."

"Why add us to the team?"

"This is a good time for you to show your skills to other students and get used to killing Kishins."

"Whatever. When is this mission going to happen?"

"Tomorrow. The Kishin hasn't been active for a couple days, but that's probably because nobody's been up there since the last attack."

"Okay. So does this mean we're done with weapons' training?"

Stein laughed at my question. "No. you still need to learn how to handle Silara a little more."

I stomped my foot like a child. "Then why the hell are you sending us on damn mission?"

"I already told you. Anyway, you should train more with your weapon."

I sighed impatiently. "Fine. Who are we working with tomorrow?"

"You'll find out then. Now, get back to training."

I rolled my eyes at him and waved him away. Once again, Silara glowed lightly and transformed back into a katana and we went back to slicing up fake Kishins.
