Stein sighed. "Okay, fine... I can't believe you would put something like that over science... But, let's do some sparring... Partners team up and choose an opponent... We're taking this outside," he said.
Soul blinked. "Hey! Wait a minute! My partner isn't here. That's so uncool; Maka chose today of all days to ditch school... And I thought she was a goodie-goodie," he complained to Stein.
Black☆Star nodded. "Yeah! Tsubaki ain't here, either! Hey, Soul, d'you wanna partner up?" he asked.
Before Soul could agree, Stein interrupted them. "No. Two idiots like you make an even bigger idiot when combined. Choose a different partner, or try to train on your own," he told them sternly. "Does anyone else not have their partners present?" he asked the class.
★O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
★O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
★O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine!
★O Beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
