Thread: The Ties That Bind A Soul Eater (True Grave & ShyFoxie)

Aaron nodded as she explained her close ties to the main, Japanese branch of the school. Yeah, we come from two different cultures, that's for sure. The two then studied their textbooks quietly for awhile. Aaron had just finished the first chapter on the varieties of minor Kishin when he heard a knock at the door. I'll get it, he told Fuyoko as he set his book down and got off of the bed. He opened the door to find three people standing there, one male flanked by two females. The male was Hispanic-looking with medium skin-tone, a not uncommon sight in California. Are you Aaron Doherty? He asked, his voice bearing a faint Mexican accent. I am, and who are you? My name is Eddie Deguerro, and these are my weapons, Olive and Annie Granger. When he said the name of each girl, he gestured to her with one of his hands. The women were classic California girls, beautiful blonde hair with great figures and large breasts. Unlike many women, they wore no make-up and still managed to look beautiful. Aaron felt weak in the knees, but managed to keep his attention on Eddie and the purpose of his visit. Is there a reason for the visit, Eddie? I wanted to meet the man who scored the best on the physical and mental scores of all the American applicants to the DWMA. I figured that I would get the best scores in the physical category. Aaron could see that Eddie was built with layers of smooth muscle. His legs bulged out with muscle, indicating that he was some kind of leg striker. Aaron recognized him as a fellow martial artist. You do Muay Thai? he asked casually. You're very observant. I have a black sash in Muay Thai and a black belt in American Kickboxing. Aaron whistled appreciatively. He himself had a black belt in Okinawan Karate and was an expert boxer, so he could appreciate the dedication to the fighting arts that Eddie possessed. You're upset that I beat your score, right? A little, but most of me is happy to find some serious competition here. What say we see who the better martial artist is? Are you challenging me to a sparring match, or a fight? Neither. I want to see which one of us can collect more Kishin souls. The one who makes their weapon a Death Scythe first wins not only the contest but a place in history. This is the American DWMA's first year, so the first student to do it will be a real legend. Sounds fun. I wish you the best. I've got no problem with keeping it friendly. Just remember that I've got two weapons to your one. I can give Lord Death two Death Scythes. That's only if you can get them to one, and if you can do it before I can. Eddie smirked, but the two ultimately shook hands to seal their friendly rivalry. As Eddie and the Granger sisters began walking down the hall, Aaron closed the door and went back into Fuyoko's dorm. It seems we are not the only ambitious meisters around here. He picked up his book and began to read the chapter on witches. They would ultimately prove to be a more challenging fight than most Kishin. They had palpable magic, and many had more than one defender willing to cover their escape, be it through slavery to magic or otherwise. Aaron turned the pages until he learned most of what the chapter said on witches. He set the book down and waited for Fuyoko to be done with her reading before he suggested their next course of action.
