“	The other 10% is the "EAT" (Especially Advanced Talent) Class, for agents who use their powers to battle evil.	”
—Sid Barrett, Soul Eater NOT!, Chapter 4

The Especially Advantaged Talent Class (a.k.a. E.A.T.) is the unique and advanced curriculum held within Death Weapon Meister Academy. They're the more powerful students within the school.

Overview

In this general advancement cirriculum, agents (teacher and student) in this class use their power to fight against evil. The last 10% of the student body make up and follow this curriculum.

Class Subjects

• Soul Studies (魂学, Tamashii Gaku; FUNimation "Phasmology"): The class lessons teaches students knowledge of souls itself.
• Battle Arts: Lessons that pertain to that of battle such as learning the capability of Teamwise Soul Resonance.
• Remedial Classes: Remedial Classes are lessons in which failing students take if they've have not collected any souls and/or haven't complete their quests. These lessons seem to be orchestrated by the headmaster of the school and some of the staff.

Student Life

Joining

Like the N.O.T. Class, there seems to be some sort of age requirement for joining the DWMA. Although the minimum age limit is unknown, middle school-aged students are eligible to join the DWMA and Prior to joining the academy, however, students must sign an academy agreement that specifies the rules each student must follow.

Testing

There's two special testing elusive to the DWMA in which students partake in:

• Ultimate Written Exam: Atest given to both meisters and weapons within the academy every year which focuses on the Soul Studies subject.
• Athletics Test: A test of physical fitness, which is much more intense then that of normal athletics tests. Required for E.A.T. and N.O.T. students alike.

Special Privileges & Roles

Those within the E.A.T Class enjoy more privileges such as being able to afford to live in actual custom apartments, enjoy special privileges like being able to ride on a moped illegally or without a license, Additionally, they can be occasionally called to help out the N.O.T Class as a mentor similar to that of the faculty upon an instructor's choosing.^{[citation needed]}

Quests

Maka and Soul fighting against the "Wolf Man with the Demon Eye" as part of their Quest.

Quests are missions undertaken exclusively by the E.A.T. Class student and faculty body outside the academy and are dangerous. Many of their missions revolves around the execution of those on Shinigami's List (Kishin Eggs in the anime) as well as investigations of supernatural occurrences and assassinations.

The quests are organized into different ranks; each student also has a rank. Depending on their corresponding rank, they're allowed to take on missions suited for them. These quests seem to be organized by the Receptionist as well as N.O.T Students in order by rank and posted on the mission board in the academy.

They're also special teams recognized at "elite units" of the EAT Class. Students may be put together specializing in dealing with specific situations by the staff members and headmaster.
