I woke up in the school's infirmary, my body aching with pain in every muscle. I looked around, hoping the students I met yesterday were here paying a visit, but they weren't there yet. I sighed, fiddling with the bedsheets, my eyes cloudy and half-closed from sleep. 

"Maybe I should sleep more... I'm tired..."

I yawned and tossed and turned, hoping to fall back asleep, but I couldn't. So I waited... and waited... and waited... When suddenly, the door burst open and was sent flying with a great force. I screamed a little. A lot.

"YAAAAAAAAAHOO!! The amazing Black⭐Star is here for his proper introduction!! Listen, young one! I am the assassin who will surpass God!" 

I held a hand to my chest, my eyes wide in surprise and a small amount of pure fear, my back up against the wall. I panted for a little, trying to catch my breath. The corners of my mouth turned up in a small smile as I remembered him from last night. But where was Tsubaki? Black⭐Star held a chain scythe in his hands, which then began to glow. My eyes widened as I saw the weapon warp into black smoke and start to form a woman's shape. Once the smoke had cleared, Tsubaki was suddenly standing there. Never, in all my years of knowing Twilight and researching magic had I ever heard of a spell that could turn people into weapons! I was absolutely dumbfounded. She bowed slightly and tried to find words.

"I'm so sorry, Milky Way... He's a bit wild..."

I laughed a little and shook my head.

"Don't be sorry! I was bored out of my mind until you two showed up!"

I continued to laugh and Black⭐Star and Tsubaki smiled. We started with introductory small talk, hobbies, stuff like that... Love interests... I kept my mouth shut on that one. Things started to get a little more personal as we talked and I brought up a question I don't think I should have.

"Why do you have a tattoo of a star?"

I felt the air grow thick with tension, but not really a negative energy. More like a positive one. Tsubaki placed a hand on Black⭐Star's shoulder and smiled at him. He smiled back and began to tell the story about the Star Clan, about Kishin, human souls, and this... Academy. He only referred to it as "the Academy" throughout the entire story, and I grew more confused and distracted by the second. Once the explanation of his story was finished, he sighed, then a big, goofy grin found its way to his face. His feet stood shoulder-length apart, a hand on his hip, and the other pointed towards the sky.

"But don't you worry your cute little head! I am the great, almighty Black⭐Star! The man who will surpass God! A star as big as me can't drag myself down with dumb little backstory! So cheer up!"

He held up his hand in a high five as a smile appears on my face and I take the high five gladly. As the pair looked around and talked to each other, my curiosity grew bigger and bigger. I knew we were in "The Academy", but I never asked or was explained as to what this place was or what it was for, or what it even studied. I furrowed my brow and looked downwards, pondering as to whether or not I should even ask. Eventually, I got the courage to inquire.

"Excuse me, but... What exactly is the Academy and what do you guys even study? And how can she turn into a chain scythe!? That far exceeds my magical ability! Who taught you?"

Black⭐Star and Tsubaki looked at me in slight shock, seeing as how I mentioned magic and how I asked something that is common knowledge to them. Tsubaki turned to me and began to speak.

"Well, you see, this Academy is known as the Death Weapon Meister Academy; or more commonly known as the DWMA. Here is where weapons, who are humans just like you and I, with the exception of weapon blood that allows us to turn into a specific weapon, and meisters, who are humans compatible and able to wield us weapons who match our soul wavelength, learn how to work together to become even more powerful and to rid the world of evil."

Black⭐Star continued the explanation once she stopped.

"The evil we're talking about is known as Kishin, as I mentioned earlier. Those are former humans who ate too many human souls and are on the brink of pure evil. Now, meisters can match wavelengths with almost any weapon as long as they are able to match their soul wavelength with them... But no weapon can be perfect for me other than my best fan, Tsubaki!"

He grinned and smacked her on the back, making her wince slightly, but she giggled and smiled along with him. Their whole friendship and partnership were incredibly precious to watch. Tsubaki's calm, gentle demeanor is able to perfectly balance and control Black⭐Star's obnoxious, loud behavior. I was snapped back to reality when the door began to open again. This time, the well-dressed Death the Kid strode in with Liz and Patty. Remembering them from last night was interesting, but one thing brought up one more question.

"Hey, how can he have two weapon partners?"

Kid smirked and gestured to his two partners.

"That's not completely uncommon here. My two weapons are perfect for me in their weapon form. Twin pistols, each with the same mechanics and design, absolutely symmetrical in every way."

Twin pistols, huh? That has to be useful in more aspects than one. He stood at my bedside, looking at me and observing. Liz and Patty were holding some things, a vase full of carnations, my personal favorite, and a little present. Liz began to speak.

"Hey! I hope you don't mind us invading. We didn't get to say a proper hello last night, and we wanted to drop off some things for you!"

She set the flowers on my headboard and Patty handed the box to me. I slowly began to undo the ribbons and wrapping paper. Set inside was the most adorable stuffed elephant toy I have ever seen. Perfectly plush, it was a pretty pastel pink fabric, soft to the touch. Its trunk curved at the end and it had a little tuft of canary yellow fluff at the end of its tail. I fell deeply in love with this toy and squeezed it tightly, grinning from ear to ear. I've always loved stuffed animals, I never grew out of them when I got out of my foalhood.

"Thank you so much! I mean it! Thank you, Kid! Thank you, Liz! Thank you, Patty!"

They all smiled and Patty had the biggest grin on her face, it was so lovable and adorable.

"I picked it out!"

Liz responded with a pat on her sister's back.

"I know, sis! Great job, she loves it!"

I really did, though it hadn't been 24 hours since arriving in this strange universe, I loved it here. Everyone I met was caring and thoughtful even though they barely knew me. We were all talking with each other almost as if we've known each other for years. Sure, this world might take forever to get used to. But I had wonderful new friends to help me out. I just wish...

That I could find a way home.
