Jack and Ozpin walked towards their classes.
"So, which classes do you have? First I need to head to some teacher named Bringer." Ozpin checked his schedule. "Hey,same here. Looks like something is trying to make us friends."
Jack cocked his head. "How do you know that? It's not like you know the universe." Ozpin brought his glasses up. "I don't know the universe yet." Suddenly, Ozpin bumped into someone else, a girl wearing a red school uniform. "Watch it, nerd, or the next time I'm going to roast you on a spit." As she was saying this, her hand seemed to catch fire, but she quickly put it out.
As she was walking away, Ozpin was streching out his shoulder. "Wow. What were the chances of running into two jerks within 30 minutes?"
Jack was still confused by something. "Wait a minute, how was she able to make fire with her hand?" Ozpin sighed. "You really don't know much, do you? Some people are born with a natural power; to be able to control Dust at will. Unfortunately, these people are seen as evil and are shunned by the public. Especially her. She turned bitter because of it, and became what I like to call a jerk."
Jack and Ozpin walked towards their classroom, until they stopped looking at the map when a paper ball hit Jack in the face. They looked down the hallway and saw all sorts of activity; wedgies, people being smashed against lockers, wet willies, and most importantly; entire air forces of paper planes. "This is going to be an eventful year." Ozpin speculated.
As they entered Ms. Bringer's classroom, no one was moving. No one talked. No one did anything. They checked the teacher to see if something was wrong with her, but she actually seemed rather attractive. They took their seats calmly.
"Now that everyone is here, allow me to introduce myself! My name is Ms. Hell Bringer! Move a single inch without my permission, and one of you will be ending up in the Emergency Room."
Ozpin didn't even have the guts to speak after that, but one thought lingered in his head. Oh, boy. The thought in Jack's head was; Are teachers usually like this? Now I really know why I didn't attend academies before. Ms. Bringer began to speak.
"Now, this is a Grimm Elimination Tactic class, or the GET for short. Thus, I shall be teaching you all about the Grimm and make a quiz at the end of the week about the best strategies. I hope you remember them, otherwise you'll be dead pretty fast. This school's reputation is already ruined by you screw-ups, so don't make it worse. Otherwise I'm going to require a "special detention" with you. Now, there are textbooks under your desk. Take them out,read chapters 1-10. This will also be your homework assignment.
Tomorrow I will make a Pop quiz. Fail one question..."
She suddenly smacked the desk of a sleeping student, the fire girl, with a ruler, startling her awake.
"And I'm going to break something."
Jack opened the book. This can't be too hard, right?
Ozpin seemed to be able to read Jack's face. You have no idea, do you?
Jack opened to chapter 1 until he realized that every single page was about 3 essays long, and each chapter was... " 50 PAGES?!" yelled a student in a white cloak. "Ms. Bringer, I don't think I can-" Ms. Bringer suddenly stroked her hand across the ruler, extending it and adding a guillotine to it, and then chopping it right in the middle of the girl's desk with a thunk. "No talking, please."
After finishing chapter 1(finally) Jack's eyes were weary. There were a lot of words that he couldn't even fathom to process, let alone pronounce and know the definition of them. Ozpin yawned. "Well, I'm on chapter 7." Jack simply stared at him, wide-eyed. "What?"
This was when the class was excused. It seemed that Gary and Ozpin had the exact same classes, so they just followed each other around the entire day. However, as soon as they got outside of Ms. Bringer's room, Roman came back.
"Who's your boyfriend, nerd?"
This was when Jack decided to put his restraints away. He drew Frostbite. "Ooh, we got a tough guy here." Roman took out a cane and fired, the shot missing Jack by a long shot, as Jack was no longer standing there. "Wha-"
Suddenly, Roman was thrown across the hallway, and Jack fired a Railgun blast right into Roman's hat, making him shriek with fear.
"Don't worry, I didn't miss. But I'll probably re-adjust if you keep messing with me."
Roman ran away, causing some people in the hallway to clap, even the fire girl, who approached Jack.
"Thanks. I've been wanting to do something like that to him for ages. He's been a total stalker to me, and I'm seriously tempted to light him on fire."
Hey, that's what I thought. Jack holstered Frostbite, and put his hands to the back of his head. "You are welcome. And what's your name?" The girl chuckled a bit. "The name's Cinder. I heard you were named Jack. Keep your head on, Jack. I hear that teams are going to start being assigned, and the way they'll do it will be tough."
And just like that, she walked away. Ozpin nudged him. "You know, after watching countless movies and also going through various simulators and books, I can conclude one thing; she has the hots for you." Jack pushed Ozpin back a bit. "What? Nah, that's how girls are. Right?"
Ozpin walked back in a straight line, smiling. "Sure they are."
"Do you like anybody, Ozpin?" That question took Ozpin by surprise, and he instinctively answered. "GLY-" was all he could get out, before an annoucement started.
"Students, pack all of your needed essentials. You will be evaluated by professionals in the Forever Fall forest. Repeat, all first year students, pack all of your needed essentials and head to Forever Fall forest for evaluation." Jack and Ozpin had their mouths hanging open, along with many other students in the hallway.
"Evaluation already? Something's up." Ozpin was racking his mind, thinking of possible reasons why the evaluation would take place so soon. Jack spoke to him, knocking off his train of thought. "You don't have to think about it so much, you know. If things happen, things happen."
Ozpin was simply staring at him. "Things do happen, Jack. But smart individuals can control what does happen and what doesn't. And I don't want anything bad to happen to you, or me.
I've been through 3 psychiatrists, Jack. I think I know what to overthink."
Author's Notes: And that was this chapter. This starts off the first multi-part chapters, also known as the Winter Solstice Arc. Not much else to comment about, but I HAVE been playing Terraria and League of Legends for an unhealthy amount of hours per day.
