The last few days have been hell for Soul, not only had he found out that Dagger was one of the jocks of the school along with being the bully, but he was now marked as the lone wolf. Soul could care less about that, he already had friends back home, he didn't need other friends, the problem was that Dagger kept getting him into trouble.
"At your old school, did you keep getting into this sort of trouble?" Mr. Law asked as he filled out Soul's detention papers with a frown.
"No." Soul grumbled looking down at his clasped hands that were set on his lap.
"Then why are you getting into trouble here?" Mr. Law asked him, putting down the paper work and looking at Soul. "You've only been here a week, and I haven't seen you once turn into your weapon form." Mr. Law said, disappointment filling his voice.
Soul stayed quiet.
"If this keeps up, I'll have to send you back to your old school." Mr. Law said, shaking his head.
Soul's head snapped up. "No… I have to stay here."
Mr. Law blinked at him and then a smiled appeared. "You know… The reason Dagger hates you so much is because he hasn't beaten you in weapon to weapon combat…" Mr. Law said to himself as he sat back in his chair. A few seconds later a smile erupted on his face. "I got it!" He said, standing up quickly, his hands slapping down on the desk, causing Soul to jump out of his seat from the sudden action and lose his balance tipping to the side and falling to the ground landing on his side.
"Ow." Soul mumbled to himself sitting up.
Mr. Law peered over the desk to smile down at Soul. "As your punishment, you have to battle with Dagger Nelson."
"Me? Why?" Soul exclaimed, outraged.
"No one has ever beaten him before, plus, he's the one always getting you into trouble." Mr. Law said crossing his arms in front of his chest, his smile growing even larger as the seconds ticked by. "That boy needs someone to shoot him down; he's getting way too cocky for his own good." Mr. Law said shrugging.
Soul blinked up at him. "What kind of principle are you?" he asked.
Mr. Law's smile vanished as he glared down at Soul. "Mr. Evans, I'm your principle and you shall respect me." He growled.
Soul shot up and dusted himself as he nodded at his principle. "Alright, when is this battle going to be?" he asked sitting back down in his chair.
Mr. Law sat back down and smirked at him. "Today, in fact let me call him down and gather the whole school in the gym." He said, reaching for his phone.
"Wait, what? Right now? And in front of the whole school? I have never fought alone!" Soul said, going into complete panic mode.
Mr. Law smirked at him again. "Soul, it'll give you that much inspiration to beat him. You have to, and to give you more inspiration… if you don't beat him, you will be expelled, it's only been a week and already, you have been in here way too many times. You have to put a stop to that, and make him respect you. Soul… this is your chance to redeem yourself." Mr. Law said reaching over the desk and patting Soul's head before grabbing his phone and dialing the classroom where Dagger was studying and called him down to the office.
Soul just sat there, shocked, and let his head hit the desk in front of him with a loud smack.
A few minutes later there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Mr. Law said standing up.
Dagger walked in with his usual cocky smile but it vanished when he saw Soul sitting there. "What did he drag me into this time?" Dagger groaned as he rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"You two will have a battle in the gym in front of the whole school in five minutes." Mr. Law said and grabbed a microphone from his desk. "Attention all staff and students, please file into the gymnasium, there will be a battle between Soul Evans and Dagger Nelson." Mr. Law announced, his voice ringing though the hallways and class rooms. "Now you two. Tell each other what weapons you are and I'll meet you there." Mr. Law said as he set down the microphone and walked out of the room, leaving behind the two teens.
Soul stood up with a sigh.
Dagger smirked at him. "You're going down." He said chuckling.
"What weapon are you?" he asked Dagger, ignoring his comment.
"A Chinese Nest of Bees and an Aztec Macuahuitl." Dagger said smirking.
"Wait, those are two weapons… and what the heck are they?" Soul asked.
"Of course, that's how awesome I am, two in one, and don't worry, you'll see what they are." Dagger said. "What about you?" he asked him.
"A scythe." Soul said, his head held high, that is until Dagger let out a laugh. "What?" he asked.
"This is going to be easy!" Dagger said laughing as he walked out the door, his head thrown back, tears in his eyes because of how hard he was laughing.
Soul frowned at the door as it closed behind Dagger. "Ass." He grumbled and his fingers went to comb back his hair. "Why did Mr. Law get me into this mess? I haven't even practiced being a lone weapon yet. Not cool." Soul grumbled to himself as he walked out the door and headed for the gym. "I'll still try though, even though I'm certain I'll get my ass handed to me on a silver platter." He growled to himself as he walked down the crowded hallways.
