Stein nodded and clapped his hands. "This duel ends in a draw. However, Alphonse, you and Edward passed the test. Congratulations."
Edward turned back into a human and lied on the ground next to Al, huffing from the power they released. "Heh... It's not exactly a win... but it's a start..." he said, taking a deep breath and held out his fist for Al to pound.
Tsubaki turned back into a human as well and bent down next to her meister. "Are you okay, Black Star?"
Maka smiled. "I think those two will do just fine at this school."

Al pounded his brother back and let out a weak laugh, "Yeah... that was good..."
"Heh... I guess you're right, Tsubaki... that form still takes a lot out of me..." Black Star replied to his weapon with a smirk.
"Yeah," Soul added, "They're cool enough."
"Well thank God that's over with," Roy sighed, putting his hands in his pockets, "Maybe now we can finally get to the lesson."
"AWW! But wasn't that enough?" Patty whined.

After one last sigh, Ed found the strength to get up and held his hand out to his brother. "Let's go back in," he said and smiled.
Stein nodded to Mustang. "Yes, I'm sorry, I kind of did take over your class. You're in charge now," he said and patted the man on the back.

Alphonse nodded and allowed Ed to help him up to his feet.
"No, no it's alright, you're better at this than me," Roy admitted to Stein sheepishly. He then cleared his throat, "Alright now, let's go back to the classroom. I still have-"
"OH MY GOD, SHE'S A BEAST!!" Came the screams of Ling Yao from inside the castle. Suddenly, a crash from a window and Ling gripped one of the protrusions of the castle like a koala on a branch. "M-Miss Curtis! I-I can't take your class anymore! I WANT OUT!"

Ed looked up at the Xingese prince hanging from the castle and sweat dropped. "Guess he's met Teacher..."
"Izumi Curtis...One of the other new teachers in this school..." Maka said, looking up at Ling and then a figure appearing in the window.
"YOU HARDLY DID ANYTHING!!! HOW CAN YOU BE A GOOD FIGHTER IF YOU CAN'T EVEN HANDLE A SIMPLE TASK???" Izumi yelled from the window. "You're PATHETIC!"
Lan Fan was about to lash out at Izumi for talking about her prince like that, but held back. For one, she was a teacher and two, she was fucking scary. She had never really encountered someone like her before. "Young Lord, please come back inside!" she called sheepishly from beside Izumi.

" 'Simple Task'!? You nearly took my head off!" Ling howled, "There's no chance in HELL I'm going back in there!"
Alphonse looked up to see Izumi and smiled, "Hi Teacher! I didn't know you taught here too!"
"I think we're going to have to call Lord Death for this one..." Roy sweatdropped.
Soul looked up at the terrified prince, "Was that guy just called 'young lord'?"

Ed shrugged. He wondered just what the hell Izumi did to him to make him so afraid.
Izumi glared. "The task was to dodge a simple wavelength attack! If you couldn't do that then what's the point of attending this school??" she then looked down from the window at the brothers. "Edward? Alphonse?" she then smiled. "Ah, that's right! You'll be my students later! Just like good old times"
Ed shrugged. "Greeeeeaaaat..." he muttered, shaking at the thought of Izumi teaching them at this academy. He then turned to look at Soul. "That wimpy guy hanging there is the prince of the country Xing in my world..."
Lan Fan sighed and jumped out onto the beam, walking over to Ling. "Let's just try it one more time..."
Kid gasped at the sight of Ling hanging from the castle. "HEY YOU! GET DOWN OFF MY FATHER'S CASTLE BEFORE YOU RUIN IT'S PERFECT SYMMETRY!!!"
"Again with the symmetry..." Maka muttered and sighed.
Stein nodded. "I'll get Lord Death then. You just continue on with you lesson, Mustang..." he said and rolled away.

"Come on, kids, let's just leave them alone for now..." Roy sighed as he headed back inside.
Al snickered as Ling furiously protested both Lan Fan and Izumi. "I feel bad for him, Brother. I know Teacher is harsh, but he's still a prince. Maybe she should go easy on him.
Liz and Patty tugged on Kid to get him back inside and forget about the castle. "It'll be fine! Let's just go, Kid!"
"A PRINCE!? Ha, no prince can stand against the mighty BLACK STAR!" cried the ninja as he raced inside. "That's it, he's my new rival!"
"He doesn't even know the guy and already wants to fight him..." Soul groaned as he shook his head, "Why am I friends with him?"

Ed sighed and started walking back inside. "If he could fight against a homunculus, then he could handle Teacher..." he said then shrugged. He wasn't looking forward to going to teacher's class either.
Maka patted Soul on the back. "You know Black Star. He wants to fight everyone," she said and laughed. "Let's just worry about Professor Mustang's class right now."
Kid fell to his knees as he let Liz drag him back inside. First Black Star destroyed the castle and now some new kid is going to destroy it.

"I guess so..." Al shrugged. He took his seat at his desk and everyone else filed in suit, ending with Mustang.
Roy cleared his throat and sifted through his papers. "Alright now... let's see... AH, here we go, my lesson plan for today." He looked at the page and chuckled before setting it down. "Okay, before we begin, who would like to tell the class by the demonstration held outside who would have won that battle based on the bond between the souls of meister and weapon?"

Maka raised her hand. "I think I can answer this one, Professor!" she said as Ed looked over at her in question. "Well, judging by their souls, Al most definitely would've won that battle. He and Ed's soul are strongly bonded. Much stronger than Black Star and Tsubaki's bond..." she said then shrugged, looking at Tsubaki in apology.
Tsubaki shook her head at Maka and smiled. She knew Black Star needed improvement in relying on others.
Ed blinked at Maka's answer. "Really?"

Roy nodded. "Very good Maka. Even though I can't see souls, the bond between Ed and Al was definately stronger. So then, why did the fight end in a draw?"
"Is it because Ed and I lack experience?" Al asked as he raised his hand.
Black Star laughed, "HA! It's 'cause I went easy on you!"
"You're both wrong," Soul said, shaking his head, "It's because even though Ed and Al's souls have strong bonds, they're weak compared to Black Star and Tsubaki's."
"Very good," Roy said happily, "So today, we're going to be working on strengthening our own individual souls instead of the bond. In order for a Resonance to be stable, the souls must be strong enough to maintain it until the attack is released."

Ed shrugged. "And just how do we do that?" he asked, leaning on his left hand. He remembered reading about it, but never really read it in full detail. 'Guess I shouldn't have skipped the basic stuff...' he muttered in his head.
"I'm surprised you two even accomplished Soul Resonance in the first place. Impressive work..." Kid muttered as he lined his pencils up in a particular order.

"Don't be such a downer," Liz snarked at her meister.
Roy nodded and placed a large rock on the desk in front of him. "I'll demonstrate the basic idea of the exercise." He closed his eyes and went into a deep meditative state. His aura began to take form and then it lashed out at the rock, breaking it in half. He looked up and smiled. "Do this perfectly and your soul is strong enough to maintain a perfect Resonance."
"That's easy!" Black Star cried, "It's just a dumb old rock!"
"But the point is to break it perfectly in half, not smash it..."
"Pfft~!" He got up out of his seat and took his rock and set it in front of him. "I'll do this in one try!" He too closed his eyes and the power that emitted from him was overwhelming, knocking the teacher down on his ass. Black Star then focused the energy on the rock and there was a loud BANG. When the smoke cleared...
"See? What did I tell you? You obliterated it! Control, Black Star, CONTROL!"

"Alright, It's my turn..." Kid said and stood up, walking to Mustang's desk and taking the rock. He then closed his eyes and concentrated. The rock then split straight in two halves. "There we are! Split in two perfect halves! PERFECT!" he said, presenting the rocks before Mustang.
