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

Aaron chuckled at Fuyoko, since she did not seem to understand his reference to the hand-wrap. He put it together that most Japanese martial arts did not feature fighter's tape, so she might not have understood its role in combat. It was most prevalent in American boxing and Muay Thai, where Thai boxers occasionally wrapped their hands with rope instead of cloth for a deadlier punch. Aaron was a huge martial arts enthusiast, so his knowledge of unarmed combat was extensive, even if he could not actually perform all of the moves that he had seen. Maybe with enough training at the DWMA, he could become a badass martial arts grandmaster. His thoughts of combat mastery subsided as his instructor entered the room. The main was of medium build and average height, standing at an average height of 6'2. His hair was gunmetal grey and wispy, settling lightly on his head. He wore a pristine black suit and had shoes so well-polished that they gleamed in the light. His eyes were solid black and had a hardness to them, but this was belied by the soft features of his face and the easy smile that curved his lips. His movement was natural and fluid, indicative of a natural athlete. Even though he didn't stand out, Aaron could tell that this guy was fit and could probably dish out some damage if he had to. Clearing his throat, their instructor then spoke in a soft voice that seemed to reverberate all the way around the room, so that even those in the highest row could hear him quite clearly. My name is Professor Amadeus Sigfried, and I will be your home room instructor. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. After picking up a stack of papers on his desk, he flung them out to each of his students with the expert speed and aim of a master card cutter. Each paper landed right side up with the relevant information being displayed as if the students themselves had set the paper there. It had not even been five minutes into the class, and Aaron was already awed by his professor! Read over the rules and make sure you understand them before we continue. As instructed, Aaron read over the sheet. It was a basic syllabus of what the class would cover and what they would be expected to do. It also listed things that were not allowed in the class, and what the punishments would be if the rules were broken. After he had read the rules, he waited to see what would happen next. In the next moment, his eyes were glued to his professor for a whole different reason. A tick seemed to happen in Professor Sigfried, with his head cricking over to his shoulder. In a flash, his whole features began to change. The look in his eyes became crazy, and his soft features became pointed and unpleasant. A fearful murmur went up amongst the students, and Aaron took Fuyoko's hand, ready to use her as a weapon if the situation became too dangerous. After the sudden and strange transformation, the professor spoke again, this time in a horrible, high-pitched voice laced heavily with insanity. Any questions about the rules?! The students quickly shook their heads, still puzzled by what was going on. The professor opened his mouthy and his tongue came lolling out. If you break any of my rules, I will break you! Are we clear?! The students quickly nodded. The professor seemed satisfied, and the strange transformation that had made him seem like a monster seemed to undo, making him look like himself again. The professor smiled a friendly grin. Now that we all understand the rules, he said in his regular voice, let's begin the lesson. He turned and began writing some words on the board. They read, A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and a sound body. Aaron recognized it as the school's official motto, though he was starting to wonder about the 'sound mind' part in the case of Professor Sigfried. He let of Fuyoka's hand and stared at the board, waiting for the next segment of this bizarre class.
