Snippet #2331645

Ryner sat down before Asuna stood up and introduce herself. He expected a simple little introduction, but instead, he was surprised by a strange sort of confidence. "My name is Asuna Yamagata, I am 18 years of age and I am a scythe Meister and I will make Ryner a death Scythe even if it kills me." She seemed too willing to sacrifice herself. Ryner was about to say something, but decided not to. "I am an Orphan. My mother and father are dead." She said this. He wondered why she would bother with telling the rest of the students about her parents' death. He defintely wouldn't have. He absolutely hated being pitied. He didn't like when people cried, but, he decided not to do anything about the tear that slid down Asuna's face. If all she needed was comfort, then it wouldn't be a serious problem. "So practice. What do you want to do for it?" She wiped her own tear away. "Perhaps training in Soul Resonance would be a good idea." Ryner suggested this, since most Weapon Meister pairs had their own technique unique to them.

"Alright, now that introductions are over, it's time for the first lesson." Oh god, this was probably going to be the hardest lesson of the year. Ryner would be unprepared for this class's methods for teaching; therefore the first day would be the hardest and most lenient. "Who wants to duel me first?" Was Gray crazy? Probably. "Do I have any volunteers? Or should I choose who goes first?" Ryner had a calm and competitive smile on his face. He motioned for Asuna to not volunteer. "I'll give you thirty seconds before I choose the partners who will duel me." Gray said. Ryner hoped that he wouldn't be picked, but it was highly probable, since his father was a teacher here. "Professor!" Tetsuko shouted. The girl seemed interesting. Ryner was relieved that he probably wouldn't be picked.

Ryner was slightly startled by the sudden entrance of the new student(Atomsk), but he didn't show any signs of it. He calmly turned his attention back towards Gray. He would have volunteered, but, he had only a bit of knowledge upon Gray's fighting ability. "Let's wait a bit, I'm going to study our teacher's fighting ability." Ryner told this to Asuna, hoping to temporarily dissuade any idea of fighting. He decided it would be easier to figure out Gray's fighting style. Ryner's soul had a bit of Madness infection Distortion in it, appearing to have a giant clockwork gear on it. He was even further relieved when he learned that someone else would be second. He wouldn't have minded being third, but, he still wasn't going to volunteer.
