Dante listened intently, tapping his foot rapidly with excitement. Truth be told, he never did like being taught, but this was a whole different situation. He knew from the first day that he would very much like his new teachers, not boring like the ones he was used to. For some reason, a teacher that wielded a great-sword was much more entertaining than an old nun that you could barely hear. His first few days were pretty interesting; he got paired up with a girl that seemed a bit older than him. Although they had a few days to get to know each other, he really didn’t know much about her. Although her weapon form seemed pretty awesome, so he was excited to be her partner. He figured all of the other stuff would come later; they did have quite a long school life ahead of them.

It was then that the teacher’s assistant started to talk. He seemed like another interesting character. Granted Dante didn’t know a thing about him really, but he had a feeling they would be fun to talk to if he ever got the chance. 

"Now, if you'll all follow us outside to the court yard, we'll start off by doing some partner exercises."

Dante quickly stood up and rushed down the stairs, pushing his way as quickly through the crowd as he could. He was pumped for his first day of actual exercises. The first taste of actual combat training he would ever experience. As he reached the courtyard, he looked around, marveling at the size of the Academy. He did wonder just how he ended up here after passing out, but he decided not to worry about the trivial things. It was then that he noticed his partner.

“Yo, Karin!” He said as he ran over to her. “You as excited as I am?” He said in a happy tone, unable to wipe the grin from his face. It seemed as though this was going to be a fun new experience.
