Arthur cleared his throat upon being asked, read as: forced to, introduce himself to the class. It was then that others began talking, briefly moving the attention away from the weapon and meister at the front of the classroom. Normally he'd take this opportunity to slink away, but he doubted Muzai and Lord Death would allow that. When the commotion finally died down he stepped forward to do as he had been asked.

"I am Arthur Andrew Atlas Archer, yes my name is ridiculous, and yes I am a member of the Archer family that has been serving as Lord Death's greatest and most trusted servants since time immemorial. I tell you this not to boast, but to clear up as soon as possible that I will not be doing the same. I will not be a great meister. I am here only to appease my parents, and to help out a friend." At the end of that last statement, the blue-haired boy gave his weapon a smile, before turning back to the class and finishing his little speech. "Thank you for your time. That is all."

Arthur's confidant defiance seemed to evaporate entirely with these last words, and he returned to Muzai's side as soon as they had left his mouth. "Muzai, can we please return to our seats now? I'm extremely uncomfortable up here."

Muzai


returning to her side Arthur looked up at her "Muzai, can we please return to our seats now? I'm extremely uncomfortable up here."

she looked at him the way a mother would but smiled kindly "sure"nodding as she lead the way back to their original seats. Muzai plopped down in her chair laying her arms straight across the tables surface her chin resting on the hard wood as she continued watching Lord Death instruct the class. "when does the boredom end"she grumbled quietly making sure that Lord Death didnt hear here.

Lord Death was full of joy to see how this school year was starting, and also admiring the different variety of people attending the Academy, or in this case in his class. Looking around the room he could sense only strong souls, therefore there would only be hard quests.

"I see that a lot of you have potential in this room, and I am honored to tell you all that you are in the Top-A class of the entire school, that is why you are all here." Death said clapping his bones.

Looking around the room he also noticed rookies.
"And for the rookies of this classroom, yes I acknowledged your presence in this classroom. You are only here because your spirits are high, and I see full potential in you! So don't let me down." He said wiggling his finger towards Arthur and Muzai.

"Now let me remind you all why you are all here. Now all weapons I want you to turn your heads towards your Meisters, yes they are the key to you for becoming one of my Death Scythes. Remember when you look at your trustful Mesiter, that they are your key to success! Now Meisters take a look at your weapon, you see how strong you made them so that they can become one of my Death Scythe's one day?" Total silence entered the room, letting the students settle in the information he just made them acknowledge.

Muzai


listening to Lord Death Muzai turned her head to look at Arthur, a kind and loving smile on her face as she really looked at him for who and what he was. 'my key to success and also my way of finding out who I am' her smile widened. just thinking of what they would be capable of doing together, it made her happy knowing she has a new friend that she can put all her trust in. Muzai then remembered what Arthur had said before when they were up front ' "I will not be a great meister. I am here only to appease my parents, and to help out a friend" no you will be the best meister ever, I just know it you just need to see the color you have' she closed her left eye and looked at Arthurs colors which had a light tint of purple, but it was being suppressed by heavy tones of red and black. "don't worry Arthur I know you will surprise yourself one of these days"

"Now Meisters take a look at your weapon, you see how strong you made them so that they can become one of my Death Scythe's one day?"

Arthur felt a twinge of guilt at that last part. Just because he wasn't aiming to be a great meister, didn't mean Muzai didn't want to be a Death Scythe. While he still didn't want to know if he had what it took to be great, Arthur knew that he owed it to her to at least try to be a good enough partner to achieve this. Turning to Muzai, he was surprised to see that she had her right eye open and aimed in his direction, presumably seeing his "colors". Whispering so he wouldn't disturb the rest of the class' quiet contemplation, Arthur said "Muzai, while I won't be a great meister, I promise you that I will be the best partner I possibly can. I will help you regain your memory and become the greatest Death Scythe ever." These words were not spoken idly either. Instead the youngest Archer's voice was filled with an uncharacteristic conviction and determination, and he truly believed every word of what he had just said.

Muzai

she smiled at his words and was happy to see the colors shift to show determination and conviction. "i know you will Arthur and you wanna know why because your a lot stronger than you think you are"her grin widened with joy patting the top of his head messing up his hair even more.

Lord Death looked around the room humming a song to himself.
"Have any of you practiced soul resonance yet?" He asked demanding to know.
"And if so please share with the class how the experience was like." Death gestured the peace sign towards the class.
--
Ace was the first to raise her hand.
"Yes Lord Death sir, me and Matthew have done soul resonance..but only once. It's when you and your partner connect souls and then somehow your partner's weapon form changes, and gains an enormous amount of power yet it takes away a lot of your energy." Ace said quickly, patting Matthew's shoulder.

"That is right miss Ace, it can be a little bit over powering. That's why it's suggested not to be used a lot. When weapons become Death Scythe's though they won't need to put in so much power into it though." Lord Death said with a big smile on his face.

"O-OH look at the time! Class is dismissed everyone, I will see you all here again tomorrow. And please don't pull a Akira/Asuna move!" He said with a small laugh at the end.

Arthur knew full well what soul resonance was, but didn't really have any experience in the matter, other than watching his parents practice. He looked over at Muzai, wondering what their soul resonance would be. When class was dismissed, Arthur led the way up to the front of the room, stopping before Lord Death and gesturing to Muzai. "Excuse me sir, if I might have a moment of your time? My weapon partner Muzai Rey, seems to have amnesia, though she said she remembered the phrase DWMA. I was hoping that you might know more about her, or if not, that you might be able to give us access to the records. She might already have been registered before."

Arthur never broke a promise, and he did promise to help her regain her memory. This was just the first logical step in doing so, even if asking Lord Death himself for permission to access the records did seem a bit extreme, hadn't he suggested the very same course of action earlier? Besides, if there was one thing Arthur knew the Grim Reaper understood,it was helping out a friend.

Muzai

putting her arms out she followed Arthur jumping down the stairs one at a time like she was a plane pretending she was flying. she was well aware that she looked childish but then again what do you expect a person who forgot everything about themselves to act.

she was heading to the door when she realized Arthur had gone over to Lord Death and explained to the shinigami about her perdicament. "wait you think i was already enrolled here before but that was 7 years ago along with last year too" a look of excitment and some doubt flashed across her face.

Matthew leaned back in his seat, looking at the ceiling. His thoughts wandered off as he began to reminisce about the day. This was probably not the best way to start the school year, but he had to make the best of it. Matthew finally got up and packed his stuff. He looked at his partner and asked, "So, what do you want to do now?"

Ace pondered for a while, debating on what to do next. She pounded her fist into her hand once an idea came in mind.
"Let's have a party Matthew! You know so that everyone gets a chance to getting to know each other." Ace said with a slight smile.
"What do you think about that?" She asked curiously wondering what Matthew thought about the idea.
If they did have the party it probably would of been at their apartment, nothing to special just a small get together.
"So..what do you think Matthew?" That slight smile turned brighter.
