"I see," said Death. He thought for a moment. "There could be a way to make one of you into a Death Scythe right away." Blaze cocked an eyebrow. "I see I have your attention."

"Yes sir."

"Good. As you may have covered in your classes, Blaze, some Souls are more powerful than others, and are equivalent to multiple normal Souls."

"I do remember those lessons, Lord Death," said Blaze. He was listening intently.

"The owner of one of these Strong Souls has become the guardian of a witch named Angela. This particular individual is Mifune, a renowned swordsman. His particular Soul is equivalent to 99 Kishin Eggs."

"So, assuming we succeed," said Blaze, "we could make one of us a Death Scythe in one go!" His eyes shown with excitement.
