Excited to see what the duo would do next the children were watching closely. Dante throwing Tori into the air did get a few cheers but also a few laughs from her screaming state. After Tori’s time in the air the crowd continued to see what the two would do next. At the mention of weapon form the crowd became even more interested. Seeing a weapon wasn’t that unusual in the city but even so it wasn’t that often that someone their age got the chance to see a real demon weapon this close. At the light of the transformation an awed gasp went out from the majority of the students.
When Dante’s weapon form was revealed more applause and cheering went up for the team. This was quickly followed by the kids reaping the rewards of the bets they had made. Some debated how broad the bets could be and the wagered candy was exchanged. With the wagers out of the way the students now focused on the two to see what they would do next. Now that Dante was in his weapon form he couldn’t do his tricks so something new was bound to happen so their attention was focused on waiting for that.
Throwing the ball up and having it go down Dante’s blade did get an overwhelming response from the crowd. Some knew the ball was made by Shibusen and nearly impossible to break while others were in awe that the blade of the weapon didn’t destroy the ball. Watching as it traveled around Tori’s shoulders and back into the air another awed gasp went up when Dante was thrown. All the eyes followed him up and watched as he transformed back and grabbed the ball. Applause instantly went up and didn’t stop while he fell back to the earth and landed.
Still clapping the crowd was clearly pleased with the performance. Even those who had been unfortunate enough to guess incorrectly about Dante’s weapon form didn’t seem terribly bothered after the current events. Ms. Cobb was clapping as well and looked at the team to say they had done well. Giving a slight gesture to them to give a bow. After the last stunt the children were more than satisfied with the performance.

Tori waited for her weapon to come back to Earth after she threw him into the air and wasn’t the least bit shock to see him twist himself around to give the landing more flair. She glanced back at the crowed and saw Ms. Cobb’s give them the sing that they had done enough. Tori turned and caught the ball that was coming at her face with only a few second to spare. Oh that would have been embarrassing if she had let that hit her face right after the trick she just did. Tori waved for Dante to come over by her.
Placing the ball down in front of her and Dante Tori took her weapons hand as she gave a bow to the crowed. She was sure Dante would do the save and had no worries about that. She stood up right still holding Dante’s hand and even thought she looked composed Dante could feel her hand shaking and the slight death grip she was giving him now.
”Thank you boys and girls I hope you enjoyed your entertainment for this afternoon.”
Her voice sounded find but Dante could see from just standing next to her that it looked like she might have a small panic attack again. She couldn’t believe what she had just done a few second ago. She had never been able to get over her stage fright once it kicked in but it helped that her weapon was there and that the children also cheered her on as well. Tori turned her head now to Dante and gave his hand a little squeeze, nothing too much, as she smiled at him.
”Thanks Dante I couldn’t have done this without you.”
How true her statement was and with that she finely let go of her weapons hand looking a tad bit calmer then she had a few second ago. She was calming down again her heart rate dropping and her breathing slowing down again. This was just something silly she would have to get over but the mission over all was kind of fun. Tori had no idea she could perform like that.

Damn, were they ever impressed! Dante couldn’t blame them, after all that idea of Tori’s may not have been what he was expecting but it sure was amazing. At the moment he couldn’t have been more proud of his Meister. Seeing the teacher signal from them to take a bow, the blonde made sure Tori actually caught the ball again before drawing closer to her. That would’ve been embarrassing to pull off a stunt like that only to end the show by getting smacked in the face.
As Dante reached her, Tori took his hand. He bowed when she did, going for the effect of looking synchronized. Maybe then the crowd would be convinced that they’d actually had the know-how to plan this entire performance rather than just totally winging it. At least it turned out fantastic! Giving the onlookers the most charming smile her could muster as Tori bid them farewell, he waved to them with his free hand. Something he did notice, though, was that Tori was shaking. She also apparently may have been trying to pull his hand off. Okay, so maybe the stage fright wasn’t completely gone, but at least it looked like she had a handle on it for now.
All things considered, Dante was incredibly proud of Tori. When she’d told him she had stage fright before the mission had even started, he had pictured things going much worse. That one isolated incident hadn’t been too bad, plus she’d recovered from it expertly as far as he was concerned. She had the makings of a fantastic performer, but of course she’d still have to work on that stage fright of hers. Hopefully this mission would turn out to help her at least a little with that. Feeling that squeeze she gave his hand, Dante returned it with one of his own as he smiled right back at her,
“Hey, it wouldn’t have been a show without you either. I owe you my thanks as well. You did great, Tori. Absolutely fantastic.”
He meant it, too. Dante was beaming with pride that Tori had done so well; the grin on his face was proof enough of that. He could not have been more proud of his Meister at that moment. What’s more, this only went to show that they really could work together very well. That wasn’t to say that they hadn’t used teamwork before on their other mission, but this was different. Things had gone much better this time in his eyes. It was a confidence boost for sure, especially with the day they became One Stars drawing ever closer.

All around them the children were satisfied with the show they had just witnessed. Seeing the capabilities of a weapon and meister was what they wanted most out of the trip. With aspirations to discover any latent talents they may possess high along with the desire to enroll into Shibusen. Talking amongst themselves the kids commented about the best part of the performance as well as what they wanted to do when they were older and hopefully in the same position. This started small discussions about what the best weapon was and ascended into talk of resonances and missions. When the team went for their bow the side conversations ended and the kids returned to giving them their applause and cheers. For the team only being NOT class they had put on a wonderful show and everyone was certainly excited. If there was anything that could have made things better it was an awesome resonance used to keep the ball in the air. Now that would have been spectacular with explosions and flashes! While the children may have imagined this they did understand it was a NOT level team and didn’t hold them to such over the top standards. Ms. Cobb stood up and the students did as much as well. While the students remained clapping their teacher walked over to the team with a smile and gently put a hand on Tori’s shoulder. Giving a reassuring smile to them both before speaking. ”You two did a fantastic job. I’m sure all the kids are quite happy so you can go now while I take them back to school. I’ll be sure to notify Shibusen about your work so don’t worry about that.”Heading back to the children Ms. Cobb started to round them up so they could all return to the bus and eventually their school. As the children gathered she turned back to the Shibusen team one last time. ”And good luck on your future missions!”Giving them a final wave she returned her attention to her students and led them out of the park and back to their school.
