Tsugumi Harudori, a newly discovered weapon, enrolls at the Death Weapon Meister Academy in Death City to master her abilities. While climbing the academy steps, she receives encouragement from student Maka Albarn. At the freshman reception for the NOT class, Tsugumi befriends the absent-minded meister Meme Tatane. During a demonstration by Maka and her partner Soul Eater, Tsugumi observes the importance of partnership. When delinquents harass Meme, Tsugumi initially hesitates but gains confidence through the support of her teacher, Sid. She transforms into a halberd to assist Anya Hepburn in defeating the attackers. Following the confrontation, both Meme and Anya express their interest in becoming Tsugumi's partner.
