Ascending the multiple of stairs that led to his school, Marco looked up at the skull-themed building that he would be attending again. Looking around at the other students, he could see an array of personalities just by looking at their actions. While he did not have soul perception like some others, the training from his dad as well as the year he had spent at the school had helped hone his observation skills. Marco let his hands slide into the pockets of his light green sleeveless hoodie, as he watched the new students walk around and tour the school. He pondered if he could find a good partner among these new faces. Throughout the whole year he had been here, he couldn't find a single meister for a partner. Everyone else had found someone, but he had been left in the dust. He hoped to be able to find someone who he could get along well with.<br/><br/>He was pretty easy to get along with, and his soul was a mellow green, easily compatible with others. Even so, he did have a bit of a preference as to who he would fight with. Although he was able to work with a lot of people, he wasn't able to really connect with them. Since he didn't have a partner, he was stuck in lame classes learning about the history of the Academy and Lord Death. He didn't mind going to class, but he wished he could go out on missions with partners like the other Weapons. Now standing at the top of the stairs out front, he hoped that this year would be different. He would find a great partner, and become a Death Scythe, a weapon exclusively for Lord Death. He would surpass his great father, and best of all, travel the world, getting stronger. He could hardly wait.
