Kilik couldn’t help but let out a chuckle when he heard the amazement in her voice. ”well yeah,” he said, “don’t you know who I am?” This was quite a surprise to him that she didn’t know he had thought that he’s ability was well known around the school. After all it is quite odd to see a meister using vastly different weapons every single day. Though he had to admit, the anonymity did feel good, instead of being hounded by despirate first years just for them to leave him just before they get promoted to the EAT class.
He let out a sigh when he heard that she couldn’t feel him. “That’s normal,” he explained sadly, actually talking this time, “if you didn’t know, I’m what the teachers and Lord Death call a utility meister. It’s a title given to a meister who can either use more than one weapon at a time or whose soul is able to resonate with any soul. I’m able to do both. And the way my soul does it is by copying the wavelength of my partner. It’s like what happens when siblings try to use soul resonance. It’s a seamless and almost perfect resonance. So it’s normal not to be able to feel my soul. It’s practically become part of yours. With that said, that’s the reason I’ve been held back. The longest I’ve been with a single weapon was a three days. So don’t be embarrassed okay?”
He smiled and gently took her hand. “Yeah I guess we should,” he said using his soul to talk this time, “after all this is the first time using a Lantern. I am actually a little excited to see your weapon form. Though I hope you don’t mind teaching me how to use you properly first. You ready Miss Dupre?”
A utility wielder... Now that he mentioned it, Jackie was certain she’d heard of this boy before, if not by name then by reputation. Although not as well known as Black*Star who made sure everyone knew when he was around, the meister in front of her was definitely a force to be reckoned with if the whispers held any weight. This made Jackie hesitate slightly, because what if she couldn’t compare to the many weapons he’d used before? She didn’t want him to toss her away in disgust or be disappointed once he’d seen her transformation.
“I’m ready,” she declared finally, and soundlessly shifted into a lantern. The hand that had been holding hers now grasped her handle, and she let out a sigh of relief when she was finally settled into her weapon form. A reflection of sorts appeared on the side of her lantern, showing her from her bare shoulders and up. She looked uncertain, perhaps nervous, but her eyes showed a steady resolve. They were going to do this, and do it right.
“Kilik?” Jackie called out soundlessly as her soul once more reached out, searching for a place alongside his. Jackie had always longed for the comfort that was supposed to be conveyed along the connection between weapon and meister, and the closeness and intimacy of giving her entire soul to one person. She was looking for the perfect partner, and although she didn’t think it would be Kilik, she was open to giving him a try, if only for the learning experience and to maintain her spot in the EAT class.
“There’s a lever on my side. If you flick your thumb over it, you can create bursts of flame, long or short depending on how much you open the lower chamber. Just be careful not to point me at anyone until you have the hang of it,” Jackie instructed. “I can also extend for transporting a meister, and I can fly on my own, too.”
