"Yeah... perfect..." Roy sweatdropped seeing that it was better than his. Not only that, but it was cut cleaner too. Goddammit...
"I guess I'll try now," Al said with a smile as he jumped down next. He took his and studied it for a bit. "Okay... just like alchemy... right..." Unlike the others, he didn't close his eyes as he focused on it. "Cut!" He cried to try and focus even harder... but insead he cut it diagonally and it was only a third of it. "Oooh..."
"It's alright Alphonse, I didn't expect you to get it on the first day. The fact that Kid could get it was impressive to say the least... Black Star still needs more work too on that matter..."

Kid went to go sit back down, smiling to himself.
Ed stood up and sighed. "Well...I guess it's my turn," he said and took one of the rocks. He stared at it for awhile, trying to figure out what the heck to do. He then glanced at his brother, sweat beading down his head. "Cut! Cut dammit!!" he muttered. Just then the rock exploded into tiny pieces and Ed had to close his eyes to shield from the flying debris. "Shit..." he muttered and shrugged.

Roy stifled a snicker. "G-Go take your seat now, Ed... G-Good try..." He snorted again and motioned for the next student to come forward.
"I guess I'll go now," Soul shugged as he took his turn. He set it on the table and turned his arm into the blade of his scythe form.
"Oooh! How clever!" Al said in awe. He was more amazed at Soul's partial transformation than what he was doing with it.
Soul appeared to measuring the cut with the blade and made a small nick where he was to focus. He turned his arm back to normal and then closed his eyes. Roy watched as he began to cut slowly and precisely. Halfway through, he decided to go faster and ended up drifting the cut to one side. He panicked slightly and then it split in two, leaving three cut pieces on Mustang's desk instead of two.
"Well... you had the right idea until you got too hasty. Good start though, Soul."
"Thanks. I think it looks pretty cool like this though."
"But the point was to cut it in half... not in threes. Still, I'm impressed that you were able to divide it like that."

He shrugged and bit his lip, ready to try again when Maka stepped up to the table. "It's my turn now!" she said and took one of the rocks. She then stared at it for a minute before closing her eyes and concentrated on cutting the rock. When she finally succeeded in doing something, the rock was a bit jagged, but in two halves non the less.
After watching Maka's display, Ed took another rock and looked to Mustang. "Let me try again!"

Roy smiled at Maka and then turned to Edward. "You sure you want to embarrass yourself again?"
"He can have mine, I'm not interested," Liz said as she began to paint her nails.
Roy sweatdropped. "F-Fine... Ed come back up here..."

"You won't pass this class like that..." Kid muttered to Liz, as if he was glaring at her nails.
Ed grinned and went back up to the front, concentrating on the rock again. He closed his eyes this time, blocking out everything else around him. 'Just pretend you're doing a simple transmutation...' he thought to himself. Just then, a blue aura formed around himself and the rock split into two halves in his hands. He then opened his eyes and turned to Mustang. "How's that?" he asked and smirked.

"Whatever..." Liz sighed.
Mustang half glared and half looked at awe at Ed's sudden improvement. "I-Impressive."
"ME NEXT ME NEXT ME NEXT!" Patty said, raising her hand and bouncing up and down in her seat. She raced up and took the rock. She did her scary face at it and...
"LOOK IT! IT'S A FLOWER!"
"Yeah..." Roy shook his head, "A daisy... not the point of the exercise, Patty..."

"I guess I'm the only one who hasn't gone yet..." Tsubaki said and went up to the front, taking her rock. She then closed her eyes and furrowed her eyebrows, thinking about cutting the rock like a loaf of bread. When she opened her eyes, the cut in the rock made a sort of zig zag shape. "Heh...oops..."

"Well," Mustang said as he clapped his hands together, "That's all I have for my session today. We'll see if you've improved next week. Class dismissed."
Soul yawned and stretched, "Man, I'm hungry."
"I'm tired," Al sighed as he looked to his brother, "What now Ed?"
"YAHOO! I'm gonna go find that Ling kid and challenge him to a duel! Come on, Tsubaki!" Black Star cried as he barreled out the classroom.

Tsubaki sighed. "Coming Black Star..." she said and chased after him.
Ed grinned. "Well, I am hungry, but I'm more interested in seeing Ling get his ass kicked," he said and turned to Al. "What do you say?"
Kid sighed. "I'm done observing Black Star for today. I'm going home until next period... See you all later," he said and walked away.

"We could pop in and say hi to Teacher." Al agreed, "Yeah, let's go see them!"
"Mind if I come?" Soul asked with a smile, "I mean, I want to see why this Teacher of yours is so brutal it makes someone cry."
"We're going home too. Come on Patty," Liz said after she and her sister went after Kid.
Roy slumped back in his chair and sighed. "Man... and I thought commanding for the military was hard... teaching sucks..."

"I'd like to come too!" Maka said and smiled. "Mind if we tag alog?"
Ed shook his head. "Not at all," he said then shrugged. 'Though, going to see teacher was not really my plan...' he thought and shuttered.
Stein rolled into Mustang's classroom on his chair, the sun hitting his glasses, making a glare as he smiled. "So how'd it go?"

"Well... as good as it's gonna get," Roy sighed, "Was the whole Ling problem taken care of?"
Soul grinned and shoved his hands in his pockets. "So, where are you guys from?"
"Resembool, it's in East Amestris," Al replied, "Though you've probably never heard of it, our country's pretty far from here."
"Yeah, I heard you guys had to travel pretty far west to get here to Death City."

Stein nodded. "I had Lord Death send Sid to handle it. So how are the new students progressing?"
~~~
Ed nodded. "Yeah, we're pretty far from home. Winry was not happy when we told her we were leaving and going pretty far away too. Which means I'll have to be careful with my automail here..." he said as they got closer to Izumi's classroom.
"Automail? What's that?" Maka asked, tilting her head.
"Oh..." Ed said blinking. He forgot that people here weren't familiar with automail. He then slid off his glove to show her his right hand. "This. It's a prosthetic limb. My left leg is one too."
"Oh I see..." Maka said as she stared. 'So that's why his hand felt weird earlier when I shook it.'

"How'd you get that!? It looks cool!" Soul said in excitement.
Al looked down at his feet. "We... we'd rather not talk about it if you don't mind..."
"Oh... I see. Yeah, I can respect that."
~~~
"I see," Roy nodded, "Well I hope everything's all right. As for Ed and Al, I'm quite impressed with what I saw today. I mean, I never expected them to be able to preform a full Soul Resonance, even if the kickback was pretty extreme."
