Lazaro placed the cigar in his mouth and lit it with a match. He pocketed the box and inhaled. He scowled as he scanned the students. They don't even know what they're getting themselves into, Lazaro thought with every intention to break them and weed out the weaklings. He was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts when Lord Death abruptly ended his speech. That's it?! Lazaro huffed, letting out a whiff of smoke. He inspected his suit and adjusted it, visibly uncomfortable.

"I can't believe he made me wear this thing," he grumbled. As he watched the students begin to get up after Lord Death's speech, he did the same. Suddenly, he spotted a pair of rowdy students in the crowd and frowned dejectedly. So, this is what I'm in for, huh? he thought as he started to make his way towards his classroom. He took out a crumbled sheet of paper from his jacket and read it again. It was his introductory speech to his students and he hoped it would make a good impression. He pulled an all-nighter, writing, erasing, writing, erasing again. Lazaro let out a puff of smoke and tapped his cigar to drop some of the ashes.

He turned at his door and walked in. Luckily, he had a desk and a board to work with. The only downside was that there wasn't much room for training. It seemed like there would have to be some days where the class was moved over to the gym. That wasn't too much of a problem. He could let them know beforehand where class would be, assuming he didn't forget. Lazaro walked over to his chair and sat down. His posture was atrocious. He was sitting too far back in his chair so that he looked slouched, had his feet stretched out and to add more, his hair was poorly combed. Even his suit looked to be a little too small on him. He furrowed his eyebrows with deep concentration as he worked to memorize his speech for the class. He huffed out some smoke and mumbled grumpily as he remained intensely focus on the scrunched up paper. When the first few students began to walk in, he looked up briefly, before promptly ignoring them and continuing to read his script.

"Come in, come in, uh... just take a seat.. wherever," he said, waving his hand without any effort or enthusiasm. He yawned and rubbed one of his eyes. Maybe that all-nighter wasn't worth it, he thought. Lazaro let out another puff of smoke. The good thing about cigars was that they smelled good. He would spit on the moron who said cigarettes were better. It was a musty, old scent. Like burning wood, mixed with coffee, is how he would describe it. Speaking of which, Lazaro forgot to get a cup for himself before coming here. He groaned, frustrated, and let his hand fall on his desk, creating a loud thump as he threw his head back and stared at the ceiling.

"Today's the first day and I'm just about ready to jump off the roof," Lazaro grumbled as he pinched his nose. Then, he froze. Did the bell ring already? Lazaro looked around. The class was full, the door was closed, and the students were staring at him, rather shocked at the statement he just let slip from his tongue. A moment of awkward silence and realization came over him and he sat up straight. He closed his eyes and composed himself before clearing his throat. Then, he stood. Lazaro opened his eyes again to get another look at his students, this time, his expression was stern, judgmental, and sturdy. He took his suit jacket off and placed it on his chair. Lazaro walked around his desk, then stood in front of them. He took a look at the crumbled piece of paper in his hands before turning again to the students.

"Welcome," he began.

@all students attending Lazaro's class

Clementine smiled as she watched the birds bathing in a small puddle, she had been going to the large school earlier than she was supposed to but their singing and went to that instead. She lost track of time watching them speak to each other and shake out their feathers, Someone walked past her and she finally focused again, "oh right, I needed to go somewhere." Clem knew she was going somewhere important and that it was crucial she make it there on time, yet the name or where it was drifted off with the birds that began their flight. Deciding to follow the person that looked around her age she followed them up the steps and blinked at the impressive building before her, the large figure with a mask stood before the crowd and gave his speech. When he ended with a clap Clementine gave a small applause, she knew that was what you did after a speech and it would be rude not to do so even if she wasn't sure what he was.

Following the crowd into the school she stopped suddenly, "oh that's right." She pulled out a piece of paper from her bag and nodded at the class number, keeping the paper in her hand she mostly followed similarly aged kids as the piled into the wide classroom. As she sat down she realized that she hadn't checked the room number before entering, Clem hoped she entered the right one. Any worry she felt ebbed away as she looked around and seeing Lazaro she wondered if he was the teacher or instead a very old student. His comment about jumping off the roof made her gasp lightly, "that would be terrible." She wondered if she should talk to him after class but when his gaze became hard and he stood straighter she felt her back straighten in response.

Her countless tutors had gotten the same expression before they started their lectures and Clem knew that bad posture was a good way to get the switch. She hadn't seen any yet, but perhaps he had one hiding. Clem tried to look as serious as she could, it would be bad to anger him so soon after meeting him.

Anyone ?

Kai Takeshi

After a long night of battling Kai and Ren were exhausted beyond belief, it was testing their skills to the next level for sure. Kai and Ren were both one star meister and weapon and pretty known throughout the school to be known as the "Pinky and the Brain". Kai's alarm started ringing making annoying tunes to wake the boy out of his mighty slumber. Opening his eyes Kai was starring at the ceiling and smiled as it was another day of him living, releasing a yawn from his lips he sat up stretching touching his cheek to feel the cut still there.

"Last night was sure real." He said with a smirk on his face feeling accomplished. Looking towards the window he seen that it was light out and the birds were chirping happily, it gave off a peaceful vibe in a sense as the birds enjoying their seldom time. Looking at the time on the skeletal looking clock it was just the right time, nice and early as he liked it. Slowly slipping out of bed Kai put on his house slippers walking to his closet grabbing his outfit and towels, then headed towards the bathroom. Stepping into the normal size bathroom he closed the door behind him, looking at his reflection on the mirror he sighed rubbing his face with his fist. Walking over to the hybrid bath shower he used his free hand to twist the nob making the faucet eject warm water in a rain effect.

After some time showering he came out drying off and putting on his underwear. Looking back at the mirror he seen himself again and made a weak smile. Kai was tired which was unusual even today. Multitasking getting dressed, deodorant, brushing his teeth, and fixing his hair took about 10 minutes in total. Finally stepping out the bathroom feeling fresh he traveled down the hall back to his room this time he looked at the door across from his room and knocked on it.

“Yo Ren it’s time to get up bro. Its 6:50 right now you still got 30 minutes but get up.” He kept knocking till his sentence finished then walked further down the hall entering the living room. Hitting a left from the living room was the kitchen where he spent the rest of his morning till time to leave. Getting the stove on Kai got ready to make Ren's and him self's meal.

Ren Kurosaki

After some time has passed his alarm been jumping off the walls ringing in attempt to awake Ren though he just couldn't wake up. What was it that woke Ren up was the smell of cooking food being made in the kitchen, nose poking up sniffing the tasting air his eyes shot right open. Jumping out of bed Ren had a smirked on his face, but his alarm was still ringing. Annoyed with it he grabbed his pillow launching it at the clock making it fall off the dresser to the floor and break.

"Damn thing always ringing in my freakin ear! Not cool..."

Ren stepped out of his room and jetted straight to the kitchen seeing that Kai was putting the food on the plates. His eyes shined bright when Kai looked at his partner and nodded of acknowledgment.

"I'll be right back!"

Turning around he ran to his room grabbing his clothes and a dry/wash towel and jumping into the bathroom doing his normal morning "stuff". Scrubbing down Ren remembered something that Lord Death had mentioned to him before they went on the mission last night.

"Make sure you pay attention closely to your partner for me. Something's been bothering me and a couple faculty members. I think his soul is tainted by something and it could possibly taint you next. Other then that goodluck!"

Ren looked at the wall stopping his scrubbing as the water splashed on his hair he was petrified from what Lord Death was talking about. Was it something that Kai could have done in the past that made him bring it up now? No matter Ren continued scrubbing until it was time to get out and he brushed his teeth as well as getting dressed. Finally stepping out of the bathroom Ren stretched and yawned still exhausted walking over to the kitchen he sat at the table with Kai and looked at his food.

"Thank you for the good food."
"Thank you for the good food."

They both said at the same time head down, eyes closed, and their hands clapped together. Once finishing the statement they put their hands down opening their eyes and looking at their food to begin eating.

"Yo Kai you ready for today? It's the first day of school and we're going to get new students. We should've enrolled last year, if it wasn't me hahaha..." He said awkwardly.

Kai Takeshi

Kai ate his food slowly with his partner and taking small sips of his orange juice after they thanked for a another good meal to eat. The silence was broke again by Ren mentioning today was the first day of school which they should've enrolled in last year, but due to complications they had to stay out until this year still partaking missions for lord death.

"Yo Kai you ready for today? It's the first day of school and we're going to get new students. We should've enrolled last year, if it wasn't me hahaha..."

Kai looked at Ren and let off a smile to him shaking his head in refusal.

"Nah it's not your fault at all if anything it's mine, but I won't take all the weight on myself it was both of our faults. We just weren't ready that year, but this year is different. We're stronger and smarter then the last. I thank Lord death for taking us in, even teaching us on the low after all those years it's best we show him we can reach even higher limits by attending DWMA and learning from the other teachers. Though don't forget we have to start over on the souls again."

Ren Kurosaki

Ren listened to Kai speak even frowning at the mentioned of their progress having to restart. Ren was bummed out because that was technically training and not very official missions, just missions Lord Death put them on to see if they were making progress in their training. Ren made a smirk beside that fact feeling triumph looking at his partner with his shark like teeth showing.

"It's all good because remember we're the strongest weapon meister duo ever to be created! We'll reach soul resonance sooner or later too! When we do we'll be super strong, like probably even stronger then Lord Death! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ren laughed tilting his seat till he fell backwards, and still laughed even though him and his chair both fell backwards on the floor. Ren's energy was what put Kai at ease with his worries about certain things, his laugh is what brought life to Kai in a sense.

"Even if we do restart, we'll just keep getting stronger like I said! I can meet some cute girls too!" Ren sat his chair back up and sat down continuing his meal this time speeding through it, even going so far to pick up the plate and letting the food slide down his throat.

"Done! Now lets go!" Ren said standing up grabbing his bag clicking the straps together and putting it over his right shoulder. It was a one strapped back that rested diagonal across his body.

Kai Takeshi

Kai smiled at Ren seeing him confident as ever even to the fact making himself burst out laughing. Kai picked his plate up which he finished his food and reached for Ren's taking both to the sink placing them in it and started to clean them off before putting them in the tray to dry off. He had a smirk on his face as well growing and looked at Ren.

"You're damn right we're going to be the best," Kai stated walking over to Ren giving him a high five and they began walking to the entrance door. "You didn't forget anything right? Got our pencils, paper, etcetera?" Kai looked back at Ren before opening the door, his hand was on the handle ready to twist and push the door open, but before he did he made sure Ren had everything. Watching Ren check through his bag to make sure he had everything he gave Kai a thumbs up of all good to go. Kai nodded and opened the door as the light rushed into the room as they both stepped out into the world.

"Death city looks better everyday." He said closing the door once Ren came out as well he locked it. Hearing the sun laughing to itself up early morning Kai gave off a stare of determination. They were going to be the best duo DWMA has ever had.

"Let's go!"

"YAHOOO!"

Finally reaching the stairway to DWMA Kai and Ren looked at each other and giving a nod before walking up the steps. Once they reached the top of the stairs they seen it was a big crowd standing in front of the entrance listening to someone speak. The voice sounded familiar as he squeezed threw the crowds to get to a point they can at least see who was speaking. It was no other then Lord Death welcoming the new students into the school. Once the speech was over he heard everyone clapping so he clapped also, although Ren didn't clap he was to busy digging his nose.

"Come on dude get out your nose before someone see's you."

Ren took his finger out his nose and finally felt as if he could breath clear now. It was time for everyone to enter the building now and so they did follow, but the interesting part was they made "eye contact" with Lord Death, he even gave the two a nod before turning and walking another way.

"The death room." Kai said under his breath then took his attention off of lord death to the building as they walked into the room. Pulling out the paper he folded in his pocket Kai seen the class they had to enter, which wasn't that far down the hall. Entering the room he seen there was a few seats open so he took the seat in the middle of the rows that stacked going upward. He sat next to a girl he didn't recognize, well of course he didn't it was completely new faces all around him. Ren sat next to him as they looked at the teacher. Lazaro was practically seeming like a bum for a moment until he sat up straight giving a stern look to all the students. It didn't budge Kai at all he still sat normally, back straight and head looking forward to the teacher. Ren on the other hand was slouched in his chair waiting for the teacher to speak.

"Welcome," This was the first day of school for sure and Kai was truly excited.

Lazaro looked at his sheet of paper for a brief moment. My name is Lazaro Del Rosal, he thought.

"My name is Lazaro Del Rosal," he said, "and I'll be your teacher for Combat Arts... or at least one of them. I don't really know much about how this works," Lazaro looked back at his paper to help him stay on track. "It's a dangerous world out there. It's full of kishin, werewolves, witches, and all sorts of creatures that don't like you very much," Lazaro let out of puff of smoke. He tapped his cigar lightly to get rid of some of the ashes before continuing. "So in this class, I'll be teaching you defend to yourself and protect others," he said. His voice was bland, hoarse, and completely devoid of enthusiasm. In all honesty, Lazaro wasn't even sure what he was doing or what he even wanted to get out of this speech. He began to grow more and more unhappy with the words on the crumbled piece of paper he spent all night writing up but he continued anyway. "I'll be expecting your absolute best in this class. You are being taught by a Death Weapon who was once the next in line to be held by Lord Death, himself," a bitter taste began to settle in his mouth and his expression soured visibly. Then, he sighed. A huff of smoke rose up from his mouth, obscuring his face slightly and he furrowed his eyebrows in disappointment.

Suddenly, he crumbled up his speech and tossed it away. "This speech is useless. I'm not much of a writer, and I'm not exactly much of a teacher either. The only reason I'm here is because Lord Death wanted me to teach you sorry suckers so that you're worth a damn out there," Lazaro looked at the students with a harsh, wooden glare. His eyes flared with a cold, squinting intensity and the wrinkles on his face only made him look like some grumpy geezer. Not that he much cared. His good-looking days were long gone anyway. "First lesson. You're walking down the street and you see a Kishin, what do you do?" Lazaro looked at the class. A student's hand rose and he asked for his name. "Georgio, sir," he told him.

"Right. Georgio, what would you do if you saw a Kishin terrorizing a town while you were out delivering cookies to your granny?" Lazaro asked, staring hard at the student for his answer. "I would kill it," he replied, adjusting his glasses.

"Wrong!" Lazaro's voice boomed, causing the student to flinch. "You don't just 'kill it'. You don't know what kind of kishin it is, how strong it is, what powers it has, and if you run in there like the brainless maggot you are, you're dead, and if you're dead, you can't protect anybody, and your granny won't be able to enjoy your cookies," Lazaro proclaimed harshly.

"The first thing you do when you see a kishin, witch, werewolf, or anything that is making a mess of things, is assess their abilities. Right now, an overgrown squirrel could defeat you in combat if it really thought you stole its nuts. I plan on changing that because the good of the world depends on it. And if you lose, we all die," Lazaro gave one last, hard look at the students with every intentions of making eye contact with every single one before he spoke again. He glared at a dark haired boy, another blonde one who seemed close to him, a girl next to them, before going along down the rows.

Then, he smiled, letting out another puff of smoke. "So try not to die. My paycheck depends on it."

Kai Takeshi

Kai listened to the teacher spoke he even introduced himself giving a clear statement to the students that he also didn't like his written speech. He seemed like a gritty old man as he spoke on and on. Then he asked a student a question which made Kai look over to the guy who introduced himself. The boy spoke with a little confidence and was soon shot down by the teacher. Mentioning the fact that he would outright kill the kishin. Of course that would be any normal person who thought they were strong and never seen the real world yet. Just cause you hear or see pictures of them you don't really know what the world as in store for you. Kai kept his blank but excited face still while looking back to the teacher who spoke about the "real" or "ideal" answer. He was right though, all of the students in this room could not deal with a kishin at this level because if they could then what would be the point of being here.

"The first thing you do when you see a kishin, witch, werewolf, or anything that is making a mess of things, is assess their abilities. Right now, an overgrown squirrel could defeat you in combat if it really thought you stole its nuts. I plan on changing that because the good of the world depends on it. And if you lose, we all die,"

Kai was tempted to raise his hand, but he didn't so he wouldn't attract attention on the first day. He objected against that answer as he felt if you were to spot a kishin the best bet you got is to call lord death and immediately try your best to rally up nearby meisters to defeat the threat. At least that was one of the easiest possibility. There was three star ranking meisters all over the world working for companies keeping the area somewhat peaceful. Kai liked this class already the teacher although seemed gloomy and old he had a old fire burning inside of him that's waiting to be sparked again. Kai focused his eyes on the teacher and got to see his soul, which made Kai's eyes open wide. What he saw was the soul had some type of grief, a bit of anger, and disappointment. A meister who learned the ability to see souls and master it can tell the characteristic of the person which he did in a sense. Kai didn't say anything but turned his head to Ren who seemed to be bored already. Kai then turned his head to his other side and looked at the girl holding his hand out to her.

"Hi my name is Kai nice to meet you." He whispered to her.

Clementine tried hard to pay attention to what the teacher was saying, but the longer he talked the more her mind began to wander. She still looked at him, and mused briefly that he looked somewhat sad. Maybe something bad had happened to him before? Her mind drifted from that to wondering about squirrels, they were so cute with their fluffy tails and small chirps. When she was younger she had found a baby squirrel and taken it home, she had kept it in her room slipping it food for nearly a week before a servant had discovered it. The servant had claimed that he had opened the door to clean Clem's room when the creature escaped, when the girl had begun to sob he had gone further to say that he followed the baby for a while until he found it join with it's mother. This had made the tears stop and after that Clem had always looked around the grounds hoping to catch a glimpse of her runaway friend, she had even taken to keeping small bits of food in her bag to feed any wandering squirrels. Though as she drifted back to the present she couldn't remember why she had started thinking about squirrels in the first place.

When she saw something move in the corner of her eye she turned to look at the boy sitting next to her, she hadn't even noticed him before and Clem wondered he had sat down. However now that she was looking at him she felt bad for not noticing him before, he seemed nice and had a handsome face, it was rude to not have greeted him before now. When he stretched out his hand she politely took it and gave a small shake, "hello Kai, my name is Clementine. But please call me Clem, it's a pleasure to meet you." She made sure to keep her voice low so as not to disturb anyone else, and gave Kai a warm smile.

Throughout the entire speech Sofia looked absolutely terrified, bound to cry any second. And yet, she didn't. By some stroke of self-control she managed to keep it in. Or perhaps it was fear? Regardless, Sofia sat as stiff as a statue in her seat, face drained of color.

'Please don't pick me. Please..' she silently prayed to any and every deity out there, eyes determinedly cast downwards at her notebook. The page was blank, save for the date neatly printed in pink pen at the top left corner. Should she add what he had just said? The point about the Kishin? It seemed like common sense, but if she didn't take notes he may think she was slacking off. What if he called her out on it?

As if it were made of dynamite, Sofia carefully lifted up her pen. Her hand felt like it was made of rubber as she pressed the tip onto the page. A pool slowly spread from it, leaching into the once crisp paper. She willed her hand to move but it didn't budge. What if she made too much noise? The class was so quiet it felt like the very act of breathing was a disruption. Would her pen scratches be too loud?

While she was stuck on this life-or-death decision, Lazaro began stalking down the rows of students. HE WAS WALKING CLOSER! In an instant Sofia went into full panic mode. Blood roared in her ears, in rhythm with the frantic hammering of her heart. It was everything she could do to keep the rising 'eep' in her throat from escaping.

She flicked her eyes nervously towards him. It was only for a heartbeat, but she instantly regretted it. Oh no. He looked angry. Did she do something wrong? What was she going to do? Oh god, why was she sent here?

It was only the first day and she already wanted to go home.

"Goal = don't die" she finally wrote with a shaky hand. Incidentally, that was also her main goal.

Jesper ran his hand through his hair as he sat at the back of the class. He didn't really care for this whole introduction thing, he wasn't here for pleasantries, he was here to fight. He hoped that this whole class wouldn't be wasted on stupid conversation and they would be able to at least do something useful. Not to mention by the looks of this guy, and the way he is acting, he is new to this whole teaching thing.

Even if he was a good weapon, if he has no experience in teaching, he is no use to the students. Plus the weapon doesn't even do anything in battle. It is all the Meister. They fight, they take the hits, all the weapon does is be a tool for the Meister, Jesper doubted that this man would even have anything of use to him anyway. Jesper almost let out a sigh, but decided not to in risk of disturbing the class. It looked a lot like this year was going to be wasted in this class. Maybe it ins't to late to switch to another class with a more useful teacher.

Jesper resting bitch face scowled more as the teacher gave the wrong answer to a question. Any faith in the man that he had, even if it was extremely small, slithered away in disgust. This had to be a joke. How could he, the Heir of the Zviads, be stuck in this class? His family was renowned for their skills in Meistering, how in hell did he get stuck in here. This had to be some sort of joke or dream. All the other Heirs had been put into classes that developed them into what they were today. He was a Heir just like them... they wouldn't have done this just because he wasn't the actual...

Pushing his glasses up with the back of his hand he rubbed his eyes, trying to calm the annoyance that was beginning to grow inside him. Moving his hand off of his eyes he adjusted his glasses back to their comfortable position and put his gaze back on the teacher. As he did so his gaze couldn't help but catch the bright pink colour near the front. His teeth clenched as he saw this, know exactly who it was.

Sofia. Nothing made his stomach churn as much as she did, and it wasn't in a good way. She was supposed to be the Heir to the family of one of the best weapons that have been paired with his families for many generations and she was the absolute opposite of what they were supposed to be. She could barely function at the times he needed her and it pissed him off to no end. She was supposed to be perfect like him and she was far from it. Of course he was not only stuck in this shitty class but also had the worst weapon in history.

Jesper fixed his gaze back on the sorry excuse of a teacher as he waited for him to speak again. The smoke from his cigar was starting to make it's way over to him and it was revolting. This was a school not a bar, he had no right to do that in a place like this. Not to mention smoking effects the lungs, and as a fighting teacher that would not only decrease his endurance, but will also begin to effect that of his students if they are to have long exposure to it. God, this day was already shit and it had just began.

Just when it was getting good

Mao closed her book as the attention of everyone in the classroom shifted to the person speaking in front of them, that person was the classroom's teacher, so by default he was Mao's teacher as well.

"Self defense?" *chuckle* I wouldn't deny it is a necessary skill these days, after all I have been on situations where I have been almost mauled to death

Silently she paid attention to everything he said, but there is something that caught her interest the most

"The first thing you do when you see a kishin, witch, werewolf, or anything that is making a mess of things, is assess their abilities."

"Oh I definitely agree" she said that in low tone, most likely to herself After all, It would be a waste of data just to kill them

Lazaro stepped back and realized that there was still time left in class. He cleared his throat and exhaled, letting the smoke from his cigar rise from his mouth. "Second lesson," Lazaro said. He walked up to a pair of students turned towards each other in quiet conversation. Suddenly, he slammed his hands on their desks.

"Since you two are so eager to get to know each other, why don't the both of you step up in front of the class," Lazaro nodded his head as indication for them to follow him to the front. He opened a drawer in his desk and shuffled around the mess of papers inside until he found a roster of the students in his class. "Let's see... Clementine and Kai. Oh, this is a pleasant surprise. One of you is a maester, and the other is a weapon," Lazaro said. He put the paper back into the drawer and slammed it shut. He then shuffled back to the front where the two of them would be standing and looked at them with a rugged glare. Suddenly, he spread his arms out, exposing his chest and said, "I don't care if you're a pair or not. Kai, I want you to take Clementine, and kill me."

Gohan510 · May 10, 2019

Kai gently shook her hand with his nod and a kind smile. Listening to her introduce her name to him made him nod again, he would have to remember that name of a kind person. Without giving warning he could see a blue soul in the middle of her chest which slowly changed to a pale pinkish soul. He looked away once he heard footsteps and his partner Ren tapping his arm with the back of his own hand. Kai’s attention diverted from Clementine to the teacher who walked up and slammed his hand on his desk. Kai didn’t jump from it nor did he budge. Simply starring at the teacher Kai didn’t have anything to say, but standing up to follow him down the steps to the front of the class.

Once reaching the front of the class Kai waited for a instruction until his teacher told him to grab the weapon and kill him. Kai looked over to Clementine and shook his head no.

“My soul wavelength is too dangerous to just be grabbing any weapon sir. If you want something bad happening to one of your students then this isn’t the right class for me to be in.”

Taking a sigh and slight pause in his sentence before opening it up again.

“Wouldn’t it be better we go to the gymnasium even if i could wield her?” Kai reached in his right pocket and pulled a notice from lord death which stated Kai was to not hold another Death Weapon only strictly Ren Kurosaki.

“Yo this is a signed document by yours truly! Uh the main point of this is uh well Kai’s soul wavelength isn’t lemme say.... “stable” just to be wielding any weapon so i suggest if no one to be hurt to keep him using his own partner or a prop weapon for safety measures.” Signed: Lord Death!

Clem couldn't help that this Kai was very friendly, she hoped her own meister was also nice. Or at least someone focused, it would be bad if the both just always got lost or sidetracked. When hands slammed on her desk she jumped slightly, turning back to look at a now stern Lazaro. She felt guilty for ignoring him but the apology at her lips was cut off when he ordered them to the front of the class. Awkwardly she stood up, the teacher had given her an assignment and although she didn't understand what exactly was happening it was clear she should just go with it. When she went to the front she looked to Kai expectantly, this was perhaps the only thing Clementine could do properly. When he refused a flash of hurt went through Clem, she knew she made a mess of everything but to be dismissed so quickly still stung. However when Kai explained his reason she felt confusion bubble up, that sounded serious. She didn't know that a persons soul wavelength could be that dangerous, she hoped that Kai was ok.

When he handed the teacher a piece of paper Clem stared at it in confusion, wondering what could be on it to confirm what Kai had just said. She stared at Lazaro and tilted her head, "do you still want me to...attack you?" She was pretty sure that's why she had been called up with Kai, but maybe Lazaro wanted her to do something else instead.

A.I.S.H.A. · May 10, 2019

Lázaro’s eyes flared up when Kai turned him away. He looked at the note and read it. Then, he sighed. “Well, I suppose if Lord Death says so, it can’t be helped,” Lazaro said, turning around and exhaling a puff of smoke. Suddenly, his arm shifted into a blade and in a flash of movements, lunged directly at Clementine. His blade sliced the air and a few strands of Clementine’s hair before slicing a portion of the desk behind her as if running through butter. A rush of wind followed his thrust indicating the power behind his strike. Lazaro’s eyes were a few inches away from Clementine’s. His expression turned from one of ferocity and fury to one of weariness. He relaxed, transforming his blade arm back to normal. He crumbled up Lord Death’s note and tossed it to the side. “If I were a Kishin, Clementine would be dead,” Lazaro said. He looked at Clementine and nodded at her, allowing her to sit back down but allowed Kai no such privilege yet. Lazaro looked at Kai with harsh scorn. “I was under the impression that meisters in this school actually knew as much as picking up a demon weapon when he needs to. Unfortunately, I was disappointed,” Lazaro said. He dismissed him. “Take notes. You’ll need them,” and with that, Lazaro turned back to the class with the poise of a drill instructor. If he wasn’t in a good mood before, he was certainly in a worse one now. “Out there, Lord Death won’t be giving you notes to hand over to the kishins, werewolves, and witches that want to tear you apart, and sometimes, your partner won’t be there. Sometimes, you make do with what you’ve got,” Lazaro proclaimed, tossing another glare at Kai before continuing. “If you rush in without knowing your enemy first, you’re a fool. But if you’re not willing to fight knowing that the world is depending on you, then you’re a coward,” Lazaro took a moment to let out some smoke from his mouth. “Lesson Three. What is the most dangerous enemy to behold?” Lazaro said, looking around the class for anyone to raise their hand. No one did. He waited a moment before raising an eyebrow. “No one, eh?” Lazaro scanned the class again until his eyes settled on a nervous looking girl avoiding eye contact with him. “You, girl. What’s your name? And can you tell me what the most dangerous enemy is?” (At Sofia)

Ren Kurosaki

Ren’s eyes opened wide seeing the teacher cut a student’s desk in half with ease. Ren never seen anything move that fast before, and how did he move that fast exactly? He knew that Three star meisters and weapons were exceptionally strong, but that’s just crazy.

Ren’s teeth grinder together as Kai was being made a fool of in front of the class, he even heard some students giggling from Kai not being able to wield other weapons. Ren stood up from his chair with annoyance.

“You gotta be kidding me, please tell me your are? You were hired as a teacher?! If he can’t wield any other weapon without having the chance of hurting him he gets judged for it?! Sorry mister but when a kishin, witch, relc, or anything attackd Kai I’ll be right there to help my friend out! I don’t care what any of you guys think!” Ren stated completely cutting the teacher off from his question to one of the students Ren’s arm felt tugged so he looked down and seen Kai sitting down in his desk shaking his head it wasn’t worth stressing.

“Nah man stop being so nice to these people, Lord Death wrote you a note to notify this prick of safety hazards he can’t even follow.”

“Stop it Ren.”

With the serious voice of Kai Ren sat back down with his arms crossed annoyed. Looking over to the girl who stood up in front with Kai he wondered if she was okay.

“Stupid ass teacher.” Ren thought.

Ian

Ian stood in the death room with five others and lord death. They all stood in the room looking at one another then to Lord Death. Realizing it was something important for all three members of a ex squad to be together. Standing with his white haired partner Ian stepped forward to speak. Ian placed his hand on the top of his hat and gave a small smirk.

“What happened now?”

Akami

Akami looked towards Ian and nodded from his question to lord death. There had to be something that happened for all of them to be called or at least he had some info to give. It was always fun for all of them to be together in the death room it brought her back many memories.

“I have something to report to you too though Lord Death, somethin’ you might be interested in,” Akami gave off her usual serious face looking over to Ian and Din then back to Lord Death.

Din

Din stood there with his arms crossed looking at the two speak. His mask was still on. Covering half of his face. Standing with his weapon partner Din listened to possible interactions.

Lord Death

Lord death was starring at his window waiting for his most trusted group to appear, since most of his others were teaching atm. Once they arrived he stopped looking at the reflection of Sydney being attacked by multiple relcs and the reflection turned off upon their arrival. Death turned and looked at the six of them and took a deep breath.

His voice was deep, serious, and slightly scary. It was his real voice that he talked to trusted three star meisters and not in front of the kids to not scare them.

“So as you know due to a certain group a number of Relc sittings have been more frequent then ever before. Sadly it’s gotten worse then we could imagine. There’s a slight issue though.”

Lord death turned around and let them come closer to the mirror the see the destruction and horror of the attack. There was never before seen relcs in the sitting as well. Huge monster Relcs at least 2-6 stories tall, easily dwarfing even the largest standard Relc. They all have a white mask with an elongated nose. Their bodies are covered from their head to their feet with a black covering reminiscent of a cloak. Around their neck is a row of thin white spikes. They have large, pointed feet wrapped in white bandages. They have large white hands with long, sharp, white nails, but they are commonly hidden within their cloak, rarely revealed even in combat. They have long tongues capable of breaking a fellow Relc’s mask.

Death starred at the vision being portrayed in disappointment and let out a deep sigh. Looking over to the group he turned the reflection off. The girls looked more shocked then the guys but even still he can tell they all felt what he felt. “Grief” knowingly unable to help those people.

“I tried contacting some meisters and weapons out there, but no response hopefully they are still defending the people. Though it looks pretty awful, but thats not all that I have to show or say. Apparently the artifact that was deep in Africa’s jungle has been notified as missing. Yes some group of bandits seem to have found the location of the right leg, though i hope it isn’t Sinless. They reported to their nation leader that it was a group of taliban members with paint on their face reassembling a skeletal mask.”

Sorano

Sorano had her hand covering her face from the scene she just witnessed. Grabbing onto Ian’s arm she looked at him worried, very worried.

“If that’s happening right now we need to help, right?”

The meister and weapons in the room nodded at her mentioning they should be helping sydney defend themselves against the hordes.

Ian

Ian had a serious look under his hat and released a sigh from a bit of disappointment in himself.

“How long has this been going on? Please don’t tell me this was an occurring event for a couple days now and you never said anything?”

No response from anyone it was completely quiet in the room for a moment. Ian let out another sigh holding onto his hat on his head again.

“Damn.”

Lord Death

“Of course it wasn’t an occurring event. This all happened just right now, well at least the Sydney attack.”

Looking at everyone their faces looked completely shocked from the response he gave. He knew they’d reacted this way of course that’s what he reacted the first time he heard of the news.

“Thanks to Cherryl I got this message asap. Of course I wanted to do something or send people out there, but that’ll startle the kids. That I showed you was a clip an hour ago Sydney is fine now, I wanted to see your reactions so you all can see I don’t play when i say the world is going in chaos. The meisters secured Sydney back over the giant ones disappeared in a black hole.” He showed them the reflection in the mirror showing all the Relcs retreating. Then he looked at the group and they seemed less tense then before seeing Sydney was okay. “That doesn’t mean I’m not worried I contacted a few meisters near Sydney to help them. There’s something those mindless creatures were looking for, they weren’t just having a plan attack for no reason, there was something they wanted to either find or prove to the world.”

Misaki Ayuzawa

Misaki put a hand on her chest and took a deep breath in relief of Sydney being better. She looked at everyone who seem to have the same reaction as she did.

“Thankfully you started taking action and it’s not overlooked, but since we’re in serious topic we’d like to talk about that artifact in Africa we got lead of it’s current location. Apparently those bandits are going to be selling it to Sinless for a pretty heavy price scheduled for next month. Our friend from out there notified us about it today telling us to intercept with them before the scheduled day.” She stated looking at everyone. “Maybe we can get ahold of “another” artifact meaning the more under our care the safer right?”

Lord Death

“Oh so you guys figured the location safely, Thats good i knew i could rely on all of you. Though the reason i called you all here is simply need you all to keep watch and tabs on other fellow meisters and weapons for me.”

His voice turned goofy and casual again clapping his hands together to the information Akami and Misaki brought to the table.

After painful minutes of keeping her head down, Sofia couldn't help but look up in shock when the teacher challenged two students to 'kill him'. They won't stand a chance, she thought, gazing wide-eyed between Lázaro and the two students. Are they going to accept?

Her question was soon answered when the raven-haired student fished a note from his pocket, claiming it to be written by Lord Death himself. Lazaro looked pissed, so that must mean it wasn't a fake. That couldn't be good. Why was he so unstable? She found herself staring at him and quickly averted her eyes back down to her desk.

She visibly jumped when a streak of silver flashed in her peripheral vision, ending with a loud 'shink' as a desk was cleaved in two. Holy frick, holy frick... She swore she could feel a faint wind from the strike. He was so strong, just as any Death's weapon should be. She grew up hearing stories about them, had to weather the endless chatter of her brothers and sisters about how much they wanted to be one -- like her grandfather had been. It was the greatest honor, she heard, but one that this man didn't get. But he is so skilled...how?

The lecture continued before she realized she was daydreaming. Fear cut through her like a hot knife, spurring her pen to fly wildly across the page in an effort to keep up. He told them to take notes, but she couldn't write as fast as he could talk. This was a nightmare! Or at least she thought it was, until it got worse.

Much, much worse.

Once again Lázaro paused his teachings to pose a question to the class. Needless to say the last answer didn't inspire any replies. Someone, please. Come on! His eyes scanned over the rows of students like a butcher in the hen house, until finally they stopped.

Sofia looked to her left and right, hoping he wasn't meaning her. Slowly, she raised her eyes to look at Lazaro. He was staring straight at her. Oh no. Please no! Heat rose up in her face, her body beginning to shiver. Her stomach turned.

"I...I...S-sofia, sir." she stammered, feeling light headed. The eyes of her class bore into her flesh to the point she could swear she'd have singe marks on her by the end. Her breathing came out short and wispy as her gaze sunk to the floor. What was the most dangerous enemy to behold? Her mind was racing almost as fast as her heart. Wouldn't it be Kishins? But it seemed too obvious. It felt like something more subtle. Yourself? Fear? She thought, instinctively. No, that was a stupid answer. She was stupid.

She shook her head. "I dont know..." she muttered, voice cracking slightly

seasonedcat (and anyone else uwu)

A.I.S.H.A. · May 11, 2019

Lazaro waited for Sofia to give her answer but he was interrupted before she could speak. He looked over at the hot-headed student as he made his grand stand against him. “Very admirable. You must be his weapon then. I hope that takes you far in life. But for now, stay after class. Alone. I can’t run a class, like I was hired to, as you so kindly pointed out, when short tempered ruffians like you spend all of it declaring your friendship,” Lazaro left it at that and turned back to Sofia. After she replied with a timid ‘I don’t know’ he sighed. This class is all over the place, he thought. “When you don’t have the answer, an educated guess wouldn’t hurt. The most dangerous enemy is the one you ignore. The enemies we ignore the most are the ones within ourselves,” Lazaro said. His thoughts came together in a frame of clarity in that moment and his gaze drifted.

He shook himself from his thoughts and turned back to the class. “As I’m sure you’re all aware, SINLESS has been growing almost exponentially,” Lazaro’s face grew stern. “SINLESS isn’t made from witches or werewolves or relcs. They’re made from humans and they look just like the people we’re meant to protect,” Lazaro glared dangerously at the students as he gave his final, cold words. “If you think for one second, that you’re not capable of becoming monsters like them, or like the Weapon Mass Murderer they killed years ago, then nothing I can teach you is going to save your soul from being swallowed up by the world.” He let out a puff of smoke as he walked back to his desk and sat down. It seemed his cigar was at its end. He searched around him for a trashcan given that there was no ashtray in sight but he couldn’t find one either. How annoying... he thought. Lazaro turned back the students. “Class dismissed. You’re free to go from this boring, uninspiring lecture. Except you,” he said glancing over at the student who spoke out of turn earlier. Things to do: Get an ashtray, get some coffee. But this kid hero comes first.

Lord Death

“So I guess you can all leave, but do be careful out there. Ian I need help from you if you don’t mind staying. A request to help students know how of threats. None of the students seen you three yet so it could possibly work,” He was sure of himself. Lord death seen the other four preparing to walk out the death room while they still have time to be unseen from the students.

“Cya guys!” He waved at them as they disappeared into the halls of DWMA.

Ian

Ian waves at them walking out and still stood with Sorano by his side. He knew she wouldn’t tell anyone what they spoke of in the room so he didn’t dismiss her with the others. Ian turned his head back straight to look at Lord Death. His face was serious under the hat he knew something more had to be going on.

“I’m sure like the others, I want to know what’s really goin on. You wouldn’t just show us a before and after and expect us to “forget” right?”

Lord Death

Lord death turned to look at Ian starring with his emotionless mask. This was a serious topic he had to share and discuss it with someone. Ian was DWMA’s strongest meister in his generation which was the one before this current one. Lord death let out a sigh before speaking in his goofy voice still.

“Tell me Ian, when you saw those Relcs what was the first thing that came to mind?”

Ian

“They know more about us then we do them. The hell, Relcs we know are all human sized or animal looking creatures with skeletal mask resembling their hate for the world. Yet that thing comes out of no where showing us these things we classified “Relc” are more dangerous then we thought. A little bit of my heart trembled seeing that thing.”

Lord Death

Lord Death turned around back to the mirror and played the clip back the “Sydney Attack” and all three watched it again this time something seemed different watching it a second time.

“Did you see it?” Lord Death looked to Ian and Sorano then back to the mirror making the image zoom in and they could see a tall, muscular man with light blue spiky hair and light blue eyes, the latter including green lines below them, similar to the eye markings on the Panthera genus of cats. His attire consists of a white hokama black sash and a ragged white jacket with an upturned collar. The inner lining of his jacket is black and the man wore it with the sleeves rolled up and leaving it open to expose his muscular chest. The remains of his mask consist of the right jawbone. The man was about to devour two innocent souls. Lord Death soon turned around and looked at the two once more.

“Please tell me you have the thoughts as me.”

Sorano & Ian

Sorano looked at the mirror with terror in her eyes. If that’s what she thought it was then the Relc race may have more in surprise then they thought. The “sport” to hunt them down may have been an illusion from the real terror they possessed amongst themselves. She glanced at Lord Death once he spoke she placed her hand over her heart and took a deep breath.

“You’re telling us there’s more from the generic Relc that you don’t even know about?! That guy is he one of them anymore? Who was that?!”

She felt Ian’s arm shaking her up to calm down and that’s what she did taking more deep breaths. It was shocking information to even think there was more, of course the back of everyone’s mind was if they could evolve to fight meister and weapons back, and this is exactly what proved that theory positive.

“Look at his face though the right side of it. The remains of his mask is a piece of the Jaw. Does that mean when Relcs masks break they turn into that?” Ian questioned Death.

Lord Death

“Of course not if you completely break the mask or rip a piece of they die. You know that their mask is their weakest part of the body.” Lord Death ensured the man, but still looking at the image.

“Though we might need some answers and that’s for sure. Who would’ve thought it get this bad after so long. You’re guys school years wasn’t that bad... right?”

Ian

Ian looked and listened to Lord Death give his response which reassured Ian that wasn’t what the cause.

“You’re right they do instantly die if we break the mask even a tiny piece. Though what do you think is going on out there? Nah our year wasn’t nearly close to this awful. These kids might be exposed to combat a lot sooner then us.”

Ian grabbed his hat and had a small smile under it. He looked at Sorano and smiled at her.

“Looks like we’ll take that vacation you wanted. Sydney it is for us.” Ian said which made Lord Death to turn around and refuse the option.

“I see you want us to stay put till further notice huh. Well actually I wanted to know what was that favor you wanted me to do?”

Ren Kurosaki

Ren looked at the teacher with annoyance then the lil girl from earlier finally spoke up but of course she had nothing to say. Though that made the teacher slightly upset but Ren knew the attention was on him from earlier. Then the class ended and he was asked to stay so he did with his partner by his side.

Lázaro’s eyes moved between the two students before him. He waited... waited some more... but his partner didn’t leave. “What do you want, a cookie? My business is with..” Lázaro fished the student roster again so that he could learn their names. “Ren. Not with you,” he dismissed Kai and waited for him to leave the classroom. “If you’ve got something to say to me, say it after I’ve spoken with him.”

Kai Takeshi

“Sorry sir if you have anything to discuss with him or me we’re going to be together. That’ll be all I’m saying nothing more.” He stayed seated still back straight and all

Ren Kurosaki

“What he said, plus what is it you have to speak with me about anyway? Ignorance? Stupidity?”

A.I.S.H.A. · May 11, 2019

Lázaro looked at the two of them for a moment before letting out a sigh. “Honestly, probably both at one point or another. But since you two are so hellbent on bouncing around together like tweedle dee and tweedle dum, I’ll treat you that way. Disrupt the class again, either one of you, and I’ll kick you both out. I’m talking about Ren. Kai understands how to learn a hard lesson but the both of you walk around like you know it all and if you keep it up, I’m going to start treating you like know it alls and stop inviting you to my class,” Lazaro gave both of them one more hard look before relaxing his shoulders and making a shoo motion with his hand. “Dismissed. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Gohan510 · May 11, 2019

Kai Takeshi

Kai nodded listening to the teacher give his little burst of annoyance towards Ren's reckless behavior in standing up for Kai. Kai didn't budge or move at all nor did he let it bother him too much. It was natural for Ren to be like that, he'll do it for someone he just met if he really had to. Kai stood up once being dismissed looking at Ren who followed after him out of the room. Stepping into the hallway with many students chatting and looking around or looking at the mission board Kai smiled as they were people even establishing partnership.

"This is what we-" He cut himself off looking at Ren who looked annoyed and agitated.

"The teacher isn't it? You shouldn't let it bother you so much it's alright. Really we'll be alright. If we get kicked out we'll just enroll into another class no biggie. I get what your feeling though, old man been through something to talk so disrespectfully. Though I don't know his deal I do know he's sad over something. Not really sure exactly what it was."

Ren Kurosaki

"Dude I hate that guy like genuinely and I never really hated someone so much before. I don't care what he's been through no one talks to others like that at all. Dude has a serious issue. I won't be going to class if you don't enroll us in another class. Like really dude what the hell is his damn problem?!" He said walking down the hall with Kai not paying attention and he bumped into a little girl with pink hair.

"Oh shit! Sorry sorry sorry!" Ren said holding his hand out for her to grab it in assist.

Kai Takeshi

Kai face palmed from Ren causing yet another scene. Looking around he spotted the girl that he was called out with and he waved to her.

"Hey Clem!" He shouted towards her waving so she could see who was calling for her.

Lord Death

Lord Death finished explaining his request for Ian and giving him a thumbs up. Turning to his mirror Lord death sighed.

"I think I'm going to head home for the day and figure out what I'm going to do next. You gonna come with me to the secret exit?" Lord death pulled both his hands out from the cloth and cracked his knuckles in front of the mirror as it opened a portal to Lazaro's class. "Before we go let's pay a visit to our friend and see how's he doing so far." Death, Ian, and Sorano stepped through the mirror and ended on the other side which was Lazaro's classroom. Looking around he noticed the class was quite empty. A sweat drop went down his face out of confusion.

"Howdy! How was it sir? You know you're first day? You weren't to rough right?"

Ian

bleach_accessories_12th_division_kisuke_urahara_hat_ver_01-2-06.jpg

Ian followed Death into the mirror and ended up in a classroom looking around he made sure his hat was still on his head in which it was. Looking back at Sorano he prompted her to close the door and which she did. He looked over to Lazaro and laughed a bit pulling his fan out to cover his mask.

"Damn man you look rougher and way older then me! Hehehe!" He kindly joked to his former colleague.

"Say how did the kids do you today?"

Sorano

Sorano waved at Lazaro giving him a small bow after closing his door and locking it so no student could walk in or see them. She then jumped on the desk gently and swiftly she kept moving around even going to the top of the class looking out the window seeing the kids outside of DWMA acknowledging each other.

"Look at them! It reminds me of the old days don't you think Ian?" She said like a happy little girl who just got her candy.

Lazaro watched the pair leave before closing his eyes for a second. He set his cigar down on his desk. All that was left was a stub of tobacco and some simmering ashes at the end of it. He'll clean up the desk after he got an ashtray in here. He thought back on his first class. Maybe I was too harsh on them for a first day? he thought for a moment. ...Nah. Lazaro opened his eyes to find Lord Death and two others walking into the classroom. He stretched as Ian made a comment about his looks. "I'm not that old yet. I can still walk without complaining about a bad back," he snarked casually.

He graduated from the DWMA before Ian did but he's heard all about him. The prodigious Meister. It didn't surprise Lazaro in the least to see him as Lord Death's right hand man. He couldn't forget about Sorano either, who was one hell of a demon weapon in her own right. He'd only known them briefly but they weren't strangers by any stretch of the imagination. He's known them ever since the days of him and Lisa. If things didn't turn out the way they did, Lazaro was sure they would've been the two deadliest duos Death City has ever known. But as it turned out, they were just one of the deadliest duos. That said, he hasn't seen either of them since leaving DWMA.

"It's good to see you two are doing well," he said, chuckling at Sorano's fascination with the students. His eyes drooped with exhaustion. That all-nighter was definitely not worth it. "As for the kids... well, I think I scared em enough on their first day," he began to say. "I read the note you gave to that Kai fellow. I have my doubts about him. I don't think I can teach to stabilize his soul," Lazaro pointed out. "If he gets caught in any sort of situation without his partner, he's a sitting duck waiting to get gobbled up." He crossed his arms. "As for the rest of them, they look promising. But on to more important things," Lazaro suddenly sat up straight, deathly serious, and eyed all three of them with a stone cold glare. He allowed a moment of silence to make sure he had their undivided attention, then spoke. "Where is the coffee maker?" he glanced at his cigar, picked it up and blew the ashes off the desk. "And.. can I get an ashtray in here?" Lazaro leaned back on his chair again to listen to their response.

Clem could barely track the blade as it swung past her, clipping off a few strands of her hair and she stared at the desk in shock. Awe trickled in, that was perhaps one of the coolest things she had witnessed before and the fact that a weapon had done it only made it better. When Lazaro gave her a nod to sit down she smiled and thanked him before doing so. As asked a question she didn’t hear and called on a girl in the class, Clem felt bad for her when she saw how flustered the other became. She didn’t hear the answer, to busy staring at the pink hair and marveling at the color. Once she had died the tips of her hair pink, or to be more exact a servant had taken pity and done it for her. Clem wondered if she should do it again, her musing was interrupted by class being dismissed.

She gathered her things and left the class, but when she looked back she found her new friend talking with the teacher. Hopefully he wasn’t in trouble but she was a little sad they couldn’t talk more. One last look and she shuffled out with the rest of the class, she got distracted by a nearby painting and moved closer to look. A familiar voice drew her out of it and she looked around before seeing Kai waving. She waved back with a smile and closed the distance. “Hello again.”
