Now that you are officially students at DWMA,
I hope we can all work together
to hold fast to what we believe to be right,
and foster pride in being students at DWMA.
Weapons and meisters such as yourselves--
we wanna be there even if we had to twist the world all around to get there
without you, i guess i couldn't even find the future here today
i was always trying to take nothing for granted
for the day i might lose them
but you just came in to my black and white monochrome destiny
and colored it all over
we won't be satisfied with the routine future
we were born to make a new history come true
there's absolutely no absolute thing in this world
this road goes on forever
as long as we won't give up
DWMA's cafeteria serves students from around the world,
and there's so many things here, I can't make up my mind.
Huh?
Meme, that was fast! And not very balanced.
Oh? Not as bad as Miss Anya.
Wow...
She goes wherever her heart leads her, even for breakfast.
Maybe we should cook for ourselves for supper.
For ourselves?
We're eating breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria already.
And we can save some of our work proceeds.
I'm sorry.
Oh! Ma'am? What's the matter?
Tsugumi, I'm sorry!
Huh?
As it happens, I saw you getting your money taken from you
by the witch of the girls' dorm, but I was too scared to stop her.
Oh...
It's my treat today.
The Witch of the Girls' Dorm!
So the witch of the girls' dorm isn't the housemaster,
it's that cute upperclassman, right?
Her name is Kim Diehl. She's in the same class as me.
When we first started school, she had long, shiny hair,
and the cutest appearance, and was quite the object of attention.
But due to her bad behavior, people soon steered clear of her.
What did she do that was so bad, for example?
All of you, go ahead and call me by my name.
--Enyakora-- --Eternal Feather.
What do you think?
I-It's a pretty name, isn't it?
It's embarrassing, huh?
Yes, it is.
Miss Kim is the one who gave me this name.
Huh?
DWMA is a unique school, so one can choose a stage name.
In fact, we even have a student who uses "Soul Eater,"
of all the ridiculous names there are.
This goes back to the time when we started school here, but...
You're so plain, you should take on a stage name.
Do you really think so?
This girl's name is Eternal Feather, everyone!
Huh? H-Hold on!
And so, she submitted a stage name form to the school for me,
which can't be changed again for two whole years.
And then...
Name change fee, please.
What a fiend.
Oh, speak of the devil...
She's talking to that boy about something.
Maybe she still maintains some of her popularity.
That's Ox Ford. He's in the same class as me.
He's an elite, with the top grades in our year.
Most of the boys keep clear of Miss Kim,
but apparently, Ox at least continues to be on the attack.
Oh, Sid-sensei,
It looks like that Traitor bunch has shown up again.
What? Again?
That's 16 times this month alone.
That's an awful lot.
Sid-sensei...
These Traitor guys just want to test their own strength, right?
We could just drive them off with an appropriate show of strength.
We have some free time before noon, so we could go.
Oh, yeah? Thanks.
Akane, Clay...
Originally being in the EAT class, you two should be fine,
but don't get careless.
Right.
Huh?
There are only two strawberry tarts that the teacher recommended.
I'll get one next time; you two have these.
Well, I think I'll refrain, as well.
Me, too.
Huh? It's okay for you to take them.
Oh, the chime.
All three of us will have one together next time.
Yes, indeed.
Tsugumi, class is starting.
Oh, mm-hmm!
Is that him?
Did you...
...sleep well last night?
Clay...
Yeah.
If you thrust my point at him to threaten him, he'll soon back down.
Yeah, all right.
This fight is over.
Give up and go home.
Hey!
What's with this guy?
DWMA is divided broadly into two kinds of courses.
You all, like 90 percent of the students here,
are attending the noncombatant classes--
"Normally Overcome Target," or "NOT" for short.
Some of you in the future will advance to use your abilities
in classes for those who fight against evil,
known as "Especially Advantaged Talent," or "EAT."
However, despite being called NOT, it will be extremely dangerous
if you are unable to control your weapon abilities.
You may end up injuring people in unexpected ways.
As such, being weapons, you will sometimes be feared,
sometimes avoided, and discriminated against.
Sorry we're so late.
He was playing around at the game center.
Again?!
The game center? That's outrageous!
Whoa...
How did it go?
This man was creepy, and acting weird somehow.
Normally, we would have just sent him home,
but just to be safe, he's in custody.
I see. Good work.
Sit down. I'll continue the class.
Clay looks so serious, but he's a little ditzy, huh?
You think so?
Oh, I'm sorry!
See?
You're right.
Hello!
Death Deliveries. I'm here to deliver some coffee beans.
Good work.
Oh? Ox--
--sir!
Ow!
Ox, sir, are you working, too?
That's surprising.
Yeah, I suppose. I see you two are hard at work, too.
He's an honor student and a big spender, huh?
I wonder if he is financing the witch of the girls' dorm, too.
Shh!
Shee? What does that mean?
Huh?
Business is slowing down; you can take your breaks now.
Okay.
I poured you some tea. You can drink it in back.
This is delicious.
I can't tell.
It smells so good.
Quite relaxing, huh?
Yes.
Excuse me, Master?
Hmm?
You said that the customers who come to this shop
are here to see DWMA students.
Mm-hmm.
I think they come here to drink the coffee you make, Master!
You mean, you've never cooked before?
I was never allowed into the kitchen.
High-class young lady!
I am not!
What about you, Tsugumi?
Huh?
What's your specialty dish?
Shee!
The kitchen belongs to everyone, so...
I didn't say anything, did I?
Pardon the intrusion.
Kim, ma'am...
Hmm?
Um... would you like to eat with us?
Huh?
Eh?
Why?
Oh, I just meant, we're sure to have leftover curry,
and I thought it would be better than eating alone.
I didn't mean to, um... I'm sorry.
If you want me to eat with you, pay me.
Then we're having curry today?
I goofed, and bought a pumpkin.
Huh? Then what about the potatoes?
We're going to have pumpkin curry today, huh?
Geez, Miss Meme...!
Remember, if you can control your abilities as a weapon,
then you don't have to just leave the attacking to the meister,
you can also make use of them in daily life, and even gain a means of locomotion.
Jacqueline, please begin.
Right.
Leave it to our seniors in the EAT class!
All right, split up into pairs. Meisters, you support the weapons.
Um...
In the last class, Miss Meme paired with you, Miss Tsugumi,
so today, it will be me, right?
Huh? Is that right?
Yes! Take turns. It's important to take turns.
Well, all right.
Haven't you gotten sorted out yet?
Anya, come over here.
There's an unpaired guy over here, so pair with him.
--But today... today, Miss Meme... Meme... --Gagantous.
Okay, let's begin.
Shall we get started, Meme?
Yes, let's.
If you wouldn't mind...
Yeah.
Hold on, Meme!
Don't touch me there before I transform! It tickles!
Oh, yeah? Tsugumi, you're ticklish, are you?
Stop! Not again!
Okay, let's begin.
Yeah.
If you laugh like that, we can't get started.
Come on, Meme!
Coochie-coochie-coochie!
Have a safe trip home.
Miss Anya!
Let's go home!
Huh?
Um, has Miss Anya already left?
Yeah.
That's unusual, huh?
And Miss Anya gets lonesome so easily, too.
It's fine, really. One of us has to be split off, anyway.
The two of them have started getting so familiar with each other.
It may be my own fault for still using "Miss" with both of them.
But...
I can't call them anything else!
If Miss Tsugumi wasn't so indecisive in the first place...
At some point, she has to choose either Miss Meme or myself.
You're... a DWMA student, huh?
Did you... sleep well last night?
What do you want?
I found you.
You're a creepy gentleman.
What is this?!
You don't appear to be joking around, huh?
I did flee from the castle all the way to DWMA,
so things would get dull without something like this, wouldn't it?
This is a good chance to test out the royal karate
that was drilled into me at the castle.
No fair!
Dastardly fiend!
Somebody, help me!
Miss Meme!
Miss Anya...
Is that man anyone that we know?
No, he is a stranger.
Then, I'll let him have it!
Wait, Miss Meme! He's no ordinary opponent!
This isn't a normal fight!
It's all right. I'm so scatterbrained, I fear nothing.
Meme, you're too fast...
Miss Tsugumi...
Tsugumi, turn into a weapon!
Huh?! I can't do it so suddenly!
Tsugumi!
Stay back!
Akane! Clay!
You all stay back.
Neither they nor we are DWMA agents.
I doubt we will prove much of a challenge to a Traitor.
Can I ask you to leave now?
He sure left without too much trouble, huh?
Miss Anya, are you all right?
Yeah.
Can you get up?
Yes.
We'll see her back to the dorm.
Then, we'll tell Master that you're taking off from work.
Please.
Thanks for everything this week.
Good work. Give my regards to the others, too.
Right.
Come on by, anytime.
Thank you very much.
That week went by in a flash, huh?
Or wait, was it a month?
It was a week.
Oh, hey, you two!
Which of you is Miss Tsugumi Harudori?
I am.
Here.
It's the week's allowance that Kim Diehl took from you the other day.
Huh? But Ox, sir, you worked for that.
It's okay.
After all, the whole reason I worked was to give this back.
Oh, wow.
In return, I hope you won't hold it against Kim.
Everyone is afraid of her, and calls her the witch of the girls' dorm,
but it looks to me like she intentionally avoids others.
I don't know why, though.
I know it's asking a lot from me, but can we call this even now?
Huh?
Okay, sorry about all of this.
Please use the money however you want; don't let it bother you!
What a dummy.
Please?
Ox has it bad for her, huh?
Still, I can kind of see why.
Kim may be scary, but I still sort of care about her.
And I don't believe that anyone who hums while making food can be a bad person.
I wouldn't be too sure.
I wonder if that fingertip claw was laced with poison or something.
We're home!
Miss Anya, that was awful today--
Hold on!
Miss Anya, you've been injured, haven't you?!
This isn't that big a deal.
Doesn't she look a little pale?
We should have the school nurse, Mendoza-sensei, look at her.
Right, Medusa-sensei.
You've got a fever, you know!
I said I'm fine!
What should we do?
Hey, newbie, stand aside.
Oh, Kim, ma'am...
Blondie, let me see your wound.
Why are you suddenly--
Hurry it up. My time's not free.
Ow!
N-No need to be rough!
Dom, ma'am!
That's "Kim."
You sure have silky smooth skin, huh?
What are you talking about?!
It was just a scratch. When you came in from outside,
you felt a little hot, right?
Huh? Suddenly, I feel better. Was it just my imagination?
Kim, ma'am, um, how much for the bandage?
It's okay. This one's on me.
Huh?
What, do you wanna pay?
No, that's okay.
Kim!
You just pulled something, didn't you?
Huh?
What did you do? Don't tell me you--
Jacqueline, isn't it?
Don't get too full of yourself, just because you're in EAT.
Just a moment!
If you wanna talk to me anymore, you'll have to pay for an appointment.
You straight-laced chick.
Wha--?!
Are you still in a quandary?
Mm-hmm. I'm not really sure I should accept this.
All you have to do is not blame Miss Kim, right?
You can blow it all at once, can't you?
You, too, Meme?
If you don't, then all of Ox's work will have been for nothing.
Mm-hmm, that's true. Okay, how about we throw a party?
We have tomorrow off, and everything!
I think we should do it at Master's shop!
Is this your treat, Tsugumi?
Of course it is!
Are you two partying again by yourselves?!
Hmm?
After all, Miss Tsugumi,
you and Miss Meme will just be paired up in class again.
I apologize for what happened in class today. I'm sorry!
I know!
I'll write it down on my arm, to make sure I don't forget.
Here! Now, not even I can forget!
Next time is Miss Anya
Right! Me, either!
Next time is Anya
Next time? For what, again?
You birdbrain!
With a big wave and a "See you,"
let's meet in the new day
Our shadows stretch along the pavement
coming together, then apart, then together
What do I say when the road home ends?
You are not alone. Nope, right nearby,
there are eyes looking back at you
And just like a miracle,
they can turn even failures into laughter
Thank you for a fun day
Let's do it again tomorrow
We'll open a brand-new door
chasing after dreams and love
and those nameless feelings, too
Things can get chaotic here at DWMA.
Each of us have our own feelings.
Tsugumi, what is bothering you?
As I watch on while quietly doing yoga--
These are our gym shorts?!
Miss Anya, how curvy!
Next time; Waver, Run!
What is bothering Miss Tsugumi?
