Weiss POV:
I sat in Professor Port's class trying my best to pay attention while Ruby is sitting next to me barely paying attention like always. But it was hard to pay attention to Port when all he does is seem to talk about his tales from when he was younger.
"And that class was how I managed to kill an Ursa Major and return a hero," boomed Professor Port, waking everyone up. "Now here I have a caged Boarbatusk and I want to test you all to see if you've been paying attention in class." Just then everyone raised their hands to volunteer, including me. "And the person I pick will be random." He said to the disappointment of everyone.
"This sucks, I really been itching for a fight," Yang told me excitingly, punching the air a couple of times.
"Oh be quiet," I hushed to Yang.
"And the person I pick to fight is," Port boomed again trying to build as much tension as possible, "Is Zander Zane."
Just then someone in the back of the room walked down the stairs, already having his weapon with him. His weapon is a bow with a quiver on his side. The shaft of his bow is made up a shining metal sharp enough to cut someone with the exception of the handle of the bow. He dressed in what looked like Special Forces outfit except in all black. And I thought Blake needed to add color. The one thing that seemed off about him was the small scar that ran down the left side of face on his cheek. He had black hair with blue eyes.
I leaned to Ruby and asked her, "Do you know who he is? I've never seen him before today."
"Yeah I think he was at initiation with us but I didn't pay much attention to him before." She told me.
Just at that moment Yang decided to put in her useless opinion. "Shame, he's a bit cute." Yang grrred as the guy walked passed us. Luckily for us he didn't hear us. He was handsome I'll give her that.
"Now quiet you before you get us in trouble like last time," I told her, threatening to giving her a piece of my mind.
"Weiss you need to loosen up," Blake said finally contributing to the conversation finally, taking a break from her book.
"I won't have any more of this," I said, tired of our conversation.
Just then Professor Port asked Zander if he was ready and he nodded yes. Port used his blunder-axe to release the Grimm. This reminded me of the first day of class when I went up against the same creature. As the Boarbatusk was released from its cage it turned to face Zander. Before the Boarbatusk could even charge though, Zander quickly fired an arrow at it. The arrow embedded itself into the armor on its back. Just a second later though the arrow exploded, causing it to move back. Zander shot two more arrows at it causing it back up considerable.
"Alright let's go Zander," was what I heard from the back of the room. I turned around to see what I presumed was his team cheering him on.
The Boarbatusk charged at Zander head first. Instead of ducking to the sides or backing up, he ran towards it. Everyone gasped as the two came close to colliding with each other, but at the last possible second Zander slide underneath it to be behind it. While Boarbatusk tried to stop to turn around Zander split his bow in halve, creating two slightly curved swords out of it. I was shocked to see that and turned to see Ruby absolutely amazed by the design of it. I have a feeling that she's going to be asking him questions later about it.
He threw one of his swords towards Boarbatusk as it turned its head around. The sword got stuck in the tusks. For a second I thought that he lost one of his swords but he just grinned. A line that I guess was the cord that formed his bow string shot out to connect both of his swords together at the hilts. He tucked at the cord to bring the Grimm off balance and the mechanisms inside the swords shortened the string at a fast pace, the other sword bringing the Boarbatusk towards it. When the Grimm got within a couple feet of him he disconnected the string between the swords and stabbed the Boarbatusk straight through the head of it, killing it instantly.
"Wow that was quite impressive Zander." Port congratulated him, making him look a bit awkward.
"Thank you sir, will that be it?" Zander asked him.
"Yes that'll do," Zander walked backed up to where he was sitting at before with his team. "Now that'll be all for today and remember everyone, be vigilant." Then class was dismissed and everyone left for lunch.
"That was impressive. I think he killed it faster than you killed yours," Blake told me as we were about to leave the class.
"Well of course he did, he didn't have people interrupting him every second of the match," I explained to her while staring down Ruby, who tried her best to look away without guilt. "Besides he obviously learned from when I did it."
"Sure he did Weiss," Blake said sarcastically as we left the class.
While we were eating at the cafeteria for lunch some of us were listening to one of Nora's crazy dreams she seems to have every night and Ren debunking her as always. I never really paid attention to her stories and focused on other things.
I noticed Zander at another table with his team. They were all wearing their different attire. One seemed to be more of a gladiator with armor pieces on his shoulders, arms, and a chest piece with a silver theme. Another guy had a more of a casual look wearing simple blue jeans and a plain black long sleeve shirt with blue highlights in his hair. His last teammate was a mismatch of gear, seeming to have something of everything with him. He had armor on his forearms and a chest piece and he seemed to be a mix between a night and a marine with green colored camo.
"Hey Weiss, watcha lookin at?" Yang asked me, interrupting my thoughts.
"Gah, don't startle me," I told her. "And I was looking at nothing." I knew that she wouldn't believe me but I was trying to save face.
"Ok sure fine," Yang said not believing me but not asking more about it. Just then Ruby moved from here she was and sat down to the front of me.
"Weiss, can you please come with me? I want to ask Zander about his weapon."
"Now why would I want to do that?"
"Because I don't want to go alone and also please," Ruby begged and giving me her puppy eyes. Soon I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Ok fine you dolt, just please stop giving me the stare," I asked her wanting her to stop. Ruby had a mini celebration and we both got up and walked to where Zander was.
