You look up at the tall, imposing archways created by the white rod-like beams on the "skull" in front of the DWMA. This was it, you were finally going to learn how to control your abilities. Maybe, just maybe, you'd be good enough to join the EAT class one day.

However, that thought was for 'one day'. For now, you make your way into the academy, following the directions taped neatly on the walls. The oddly cartoonish drawing of death points you to a somewhat crowded room, the classroom in which orientation will take place. Students chatter amongst themselves excitedly.

"Are you excited to be DWMA students?..." "This school's hallways are like a maze, seriously..." "YAHOO! Of course a star like me would attend a school like this!!..."

...were just a few snippets of conversations that you picked up on. A few more students arrive and then a staff member with cornrows and tattooed kanji on either shoulder clears his throat. He gives a brief explanation on the dynamics of the DWMA, more specifically, weapon-meister relationships. Each weapon will be paired with a meister, who will guide them to better their abilities to transform. After his explanation, students from the EAT class come in to provide a demonstration on how meisters and weapons work together. They leave as quickly as they appear, after the staff member continues to explain how a partnership requires mutual respect and synchronization. Thus, the orientation class comes to an end.

You walk out of class, looking down at your little name tag. A partner, huh? You wonder how to find someone like that.

You ponder as you walk, not really watching where you're going. All of a sudden, you bump into some other kid with white hair -- a weapon by the name of Soul Eater Evans. Soul Eater?? He catches himself and then helps you up.

"Uh... sorry, my bad. I should've watched where I was going. Uh... what's your name?" He asks, trying to make conversation despite the fact that you're literally wearing your name.
