Shibusen. The most magnificent school of all times. In here, Meisters and Weapons would develop their skills and techniques to become something strong. Meisters would jump from level one users to level three. Demon Weapons would transform into the infamous Death Scythe, the personal weapons of Shinigami...
Minus Shinigami, though. He departed for something more important than the school. He left a close relative to this task. Vater Tod. He walked the stairs leading to the majestic building that his friend had built about 900 years ago. The danger that the Witches had created, along with the rise of a Kishin, a Demon God, lead to nothing but trouble. He had to call a Death Scythe from retirement, though. It was a tough decision, since most Weapons have actually lost their touch. They grew old. He could hardly call any of the glorious Kishin killers. Tsubaki had a family now. Soul Eater would hardly leave the Jazz bar. The Thompson sisters... Vater could not think about it.
"Ah, shall we clean up then?", Vater muttered to himself, walking the final steps of the entrance into the mouth of the building. The inside appeared cleaner than he expected. Someone was keeping this place intact. "Well, someone was helpful, ne?", Vater mumbled, his walk leading him further inside. If it weren't for the sudden voice next to him, he would have continued.
"I was always a helpful man. That was the man I was", Sid, the undead teacher and caretaker of the building, stood next to the Reaper. Not flinching a little, Vater looked at him. "Ah, Shiddo-kun. Great to see you. We've got work to do."
The grand opening night of Shibusen. Fireworks and smooth Jazz included. It was a perfect night. Vater stood on a podium, watching the students that have come from across the globe, more or less. There were other academies, Oceania and Europe. People just preferred Death City. That was the man they were... Scratch that. Nevertheless, Vater watched over these students. They were all young, of course. He already saw the potential in them.
But the party was disturbed. Amidst the students, a wicked laughter came, followed by the incantation "Terrier, Poodle, Dog, Carefree." This stirred the mood of the people, causing most students to flee, screaming "Witch". With the room clearing up, the Witch was revealed. She stood in the middle of a mass of Pomeranian dogs, who were all barking with tiny voices. "Woof... So Shibusen is really open for business... I see no Meister standing against me, aroo~", the witch stood in the room.
Vater sighed and finished his Schnaps, looking at Sid. "Did Goldman show up?", he asked the caretaker, who simply shook his head. "And Nygus?" Sid sighed "It appeared too unhygienic for an undead to be the nurse of a school."
The Witch laughed wickedly again, the dogs around her howling and barking in a chaos.
