*Jerome's POV*

Mitch and I walked up to the stairs to the academy. "Ugggh. I don't wanna climb all of this." Mitch groans, placing one foot on the first step. I grab his shoulder "Who said we had to climb?" I say with a smirk. Mitch turns into a small mace. I pick him up and turn my feet into lanterns and begin to fly up the steps. *I'm getting concerned about how many time skips I'm putting in my stories as of late.* Mitch and I sat in chairs in the hall. "Mitch and Jerome please enter." says a lady wrapped in bandages. We step into a white room, that has torn up mats on the floor. Professor Stine is wheeling out a mirror. He breaths on it and writes down a number. We see lord death appear on the screen. "You must be the new students!" he says sound very pleased. We nod. "Well, this room is where you will be paired up with one NOT student and one EAT student. If you lose to, or tie with the NOT student, you will not get to spar with an EAT student, but if you beat the NOT student, you will move onto the EAT student. If you lose to the EAT student, you will be placed into the NOT class, but if you tie or beat the EAT student, you will be placed in the EAT class, am I understood?" he says. We nod again. "Okay, are you two ready?" he asks. Another nod. We hear foot steps, and then see a girl and a girl. One of them had red hair pulled into a pony tail, and was wearing a short jean skirt and a shirt that read "Rebel." she had red and black stockings one, with black convers. The other had curly ,long brown hair, and wore a big puffy white dress. The girl with red hair turned into a giant hammer. The girl with the dress picked it up. Mitch looked at me. I nodded and Mitch turned into a massive axe. The girl looked like she regretted something. "Lord Death, may I trade out with some else?" she asks. "Don't worry, they won't kill you." he said in response. She nodded and looked less worried. We bowed to each other, and she took a stance where the hammer was in front of her, straight up. "Mistake #1, when wielding a hammer a stance where the hammer is behind the person, facing sideways." I thought. I took a stance where Mitch was behind me, facing straight up. Professor Stine seemed shocked to see me take that stance. "Begin." said Stine. The girl took a step forward, an brought the hammer down on the mat in front of me. I jumped and landed on top of the hammer. She tried to lift the hammer, but failed. I ran up the handle and jumped into the air. I pointed the axe down with a blade facing at her. She looked scared. I landed behind her and hit a mat, cutting the end of her dress. She lifted the hammer upward, and attempted to bring it down on me. I ran out from under it, it hit the floor. I swung the axe and tripped her as soon as she held the hammer above her head, as she tripped, she let go of the hammer, sending it up into the air. The hammer fell and was about to squish her head, but I grabbed its handle before it could. I placed it handle up into the part of the mat I had cut earlier. I placed my foot on top of the girls stomach. "Mitch and Jerome win." Stine says.
