It was the second week of the school year at the Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA), and the atmosphere in Professor Stein’s classroom was buzzing with chatter and curiosity. The eccentric teacher, spinning lazily in his chair with a grin that hinted at mischief, finally slammed his chair legs down with a loud thud.

Stein: “Alright, everyone, settle down. We’ve got a new addition to our little collection of weirdos.”

He gestured lazily to the person standing beside him at the front of the class.

“Try not to scare them off… too quickly.”

The classroom, filled with familiar faces like Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz, and Patty, along with a few other Meisters and Weapons, all turned their attention to the newcomer. The air was thick with anticipation.
