Mugen exits the Shunpo Test room and into the hallway. He travels past several doors before he stops and reaches into his kimono. From it, he pulls a folded piece of paper and a pen. He opens the paper and crosses the first two tests of his list. He scans the page with his pen and finds the info on his next test: Kidou. "Alrighty then... let's get this finished with so I can go eat, haha."

He reaches the room just in time to witness a student beginning his test. The student fails to perform the first spell but does quite well with the second. "Impressive." Mugen says to himself. He enters the line-up but gets pulled out immediately by the instructor. "Why me?" Mugen says. "Because, you are late." Responds the instructor. Mugen groans and approaches the instructor and Soul Reaper. "What is your name, kid?" Asks the Soul Reaper. "I am Mugen Tsukiakari, sir." Mugen answers proudly. "Hmm... I heard your name around today quite a lot." Mugen was about when the instructor interjected. "Enough chit-chat. Let's get started." Mugen faces the Soul Reaper face-to-face. "Here are your instructions: You will be performing two low-level spells on my friend here," He points to the Soul Reaper. "You are required to do the Binding Spell number 1 and the Destructive Spell number 4. Don't be too rough on him, I still got all do to administer this test to the other students. Begin when you are ready."

Mugen locks eyes with the Soul Reaper. Despite his gentle eyes Rei is so fond of, the Soul Reaper sees something within Mugen that causes him to look down. Mugen streches his arm out in front of him and extends his pointer and middle finger out to touch the Soul Reaper. Spirit energy wells up inside Mugen as he focuses it. Mugen repeats the enchantment (is there one?) and swings his arm out to his right. He says: "Binding Spell No. 1! Restrain!" The Soul Reaper's arms involuntarily lock behind his back, it takes a moment for him to break free but he easily dispels the enchantment. "Good, now for the second spell." Barks the instructor.

Mugen takes a step back so that he and the Soul Reaper are a meter apart. He raises his arm to point at the Soul Reaper with his pointer and middle finger. A bead of sweat drips down the side of Mugen as he tries to focus the remainder of his spiritual energy to his finger tips. "It's a lot harder than the first time." He thinks to himself. Mugen repeats the enchantment(is there one?). Energy crackles as he performs the spell. "Destructive Arts No. 4! White Lightning!" A focused beam of weak lightning shoots from his finger tips. The Soul Reaper staggers back from the blow but only sustains a small burn.

"Good work, Mr. Tsukiakari." Applaudes the instructor. Mugen laughs weakly. "Not as well, as wanted but good enough. I will give you a "B" as a grade. Good luck on your remaining tests. You are dismissed." Mugen bows to the instructor and Soul Reaper. He turns to exit, keeping the Soul Reaper in the corner of his eye. He finally exits the room and continues to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was buzzing with conversation, students chatter about all sorts of topics. Mugen makes a feeble attempt to find Rei. He eventually gives up and picks up some rice balls, his favorite food when he was alive, and finds a place to sit. He is in the middle of eating when the chatter in the cafeteria dulls down to a whisper. He looks up to see what was going on when he saw the same Soul Reaper enter as before. He minds his own business and continues to munch into his meal. He stops again when he notices a pair of black kimono pant legs opposite of him. He looks up to see the Soul Reaper. "May I sit?" He asks. Mugen nods and the Soul Reaper sits. "What did you mean by you "heard my name quite often today?" Asks Mugen. The Soul Reaper grins and leans forward, resting his head in his hands. "It's not often that a, Academy student asks his lover to marry him on Test Day, y'know." Mugen had a bedazzled look in his face. "How-" His words were caught in his throat. Others around him leaned in to listen in on the conversation. "How did I know? Well, I'm aquaintances with your girl's roommate who I just happened to run into first thing this morning. Rei told her everything. That's how I know. Oh, and then my friend to another one of her friends and so on..." Mugen now lost the bedazzled look and put on a surprised look. "Wow," Mugen said. "Stuff like that spreads like a wildfire, huh?" The Soul Reaper chuckled and stood up. "Enjoy your meal, Mr. Tsukiakari." The Soul Reaper left Mugen with several curious students asking Mugen all sorts of questions he didn't really know the answer to.

Mr. Tsukiakari... I've been hearing that a lot lately...
