Chapter 2
The next morning, Kid got to the DWMA early. The students had missions to do and he wanted to be prepared for his. Kid's weapons, Liz and Patty, were standing right behind him. He felt confident about the mission but he turned to face Liz and Patty. "You two know what to do, right?" Liz looked at her younger sister and then back at Kid. "Of course we do. Relax."
Patty giggled and spoke up in her cheery voice. "Yeah, the mission doesn't even start until nine o' clock anyway!" Kid's eyes immediately widened when he heard the word "nine." He sighed and looked at the younger Thompson sister. "What did you say?" Patty smiled, "I said the-." Kid interrupted her. "I know what you said. W-Why can't the mission start at eight? Eight is a much better number than nine!" Liz rolled her eyes. "Here we go again."
Kid's favorite number was eight because of it's symmetry. Just thinking about the asymmetrical number nine made him nauseous. He dropped to his knees. "The number nine is a piece of asymmetrical garbage! Say it starts at eight! I beg of you, Patty, just say it!" Patty laughed and looked at Liz. "Kid, if I say it starts at eight, I would be lying!" Kid put his head in his hands. "Dammit, Patty!" Patty's laughter echoed in the hall of the DWMA and he was too busy freaking out to notice that someone was standing behind him.
Liz cleared her throat. "Uh...Kid? You're making a scene." Kid, who was still on the floor, spoke in a hushed tone. "Liz, Patty. Just go. Leave me here to be just a pile of asymmetrical trash." Patty tried to pull him up. "Kid! You're embarrassing us! Quit freaking out!" Kid sighed and waved her hands away. Then, he stood up and came face to face with Crona.
Kid almost screamed. How long had Crona been there?! Crona's face was bright red and the eyes were looking at the floor. "S-Sorry, Kid. I didn't mean to intrude. I, uh, saw everything. A-Are you okay? Oh, I don't know how to deal with this..." All of a sudden, Ragnarok appeared out of Crona's body. He hit his meister on the back of the head. "Oh, come on. There's no time for talking! Quit being stupid and let's go practice. We have to complete this mission correctly." Crona sighed. "Yes, Ragnarok."
Kid watched as Crona started to walk away. "Crona, wait! You didn't intrude on anything and I'm fine." He was so embarrassed that his romantic interest had witnessed his freak out. Crona stopped walking and turned around. The uneven hair was hard for Kid to look past, but he managed to. Crona gave a small smile. "O-Okay, Kid. I'm glad everything is fine." As if on cue, Liz walked up to her meister and rested her elbow on his shoulder. "Yeah, don't worry about what you saw. That's just how Kid is sometimes." Crona nodded awkwardly and continued to walk down the hall.
When the hallway was clear, Kid ran his hand through his hair. "Let's go, Liz and Patty. We have work to do."
