Chapter 4

Classes Begin!

Nion slowly woke up from Dusk shaking her slightly. She yawned lightly and rubbed her eyes. Once her eyes adjusted to the light, she saw her teammates bustling around, getting dressed or fixing their hair. Nion swung off her bed and stretched before starting to get ready for the day.

"Alright, so we have breakfast then...three classes, Grimm Theory, History, and then the Combat class. Then lunch, after that we have weapons and dust classes. Then we are free to do whatever we want." Peridot said, talking about their class schedule. "Except...I have another class after dust class. Apparently, leaders get a leadership class."

After hearing about this, Dusk started to laugh, "OH you are gonna have a hell of a fun time in that class!"

Peridot tilted her head, "What do you mean by that?"

Dusk grinned as she shook her head, looking down. "Just don't make her scream, if she looks like she is about to scream, cover your ears."

Peridot raised an eyebrow, "Ok..?"

Nion dressed in front of them all, not seeing any problem with it as they were arguing. No one was paying attention to Nion as she turned around.

"Um...how do I look?" Nion was wearing the normal Beacon outfit for females.

Lilac shrugged, "like normal."

Dusk smiled softly, "You look really cute in a skirt, Ni."

Peridot nods, "You can say that again Dusk."

Nion blushed a little and spun around a little bit. She liked the feeling of having breathability in her legs. Maybe I should wear skirts more often? That is something I should think about at least. Nion tried to do a kick but just ended up flashing Dusk as she was the only one paying attention. Dusk blushed lightly and giggled. She spoke nothing of it as she yawned out.

"Come on Ni. Peri and Lilac are still getting ready. Let's go get breakfast." Dusk told Nion as she walked out

Nion nods and ran up to catch up to her, "Sorry about the height thing. Normally, I would have been fine, but I dunno what happened."

Dusk pats her head, receiving a light murr from Nion, "Don't sweat it, kid. We are still alive and not hurt."

Nion smiled and giggled a bit, "Thanks, Dusky."

They arrived at the cafeteria and went to go get a tray of food. Nion getting much more than Dusk, due to her loving to eat, and they sat down next to each other. They both started to eat at the same time and Nion devoured her food. Dusk looked on in awe as she didn't think a girl so small could eat that much food in such a short time. Nion giggled and burped, causing Dusk to roll her eyes and eat her food. Soon, Peridot and Lilac came in, bickering at each other as it seems that something was wrong between the two. Once they sat down, they looked away from each other.

"You two alright?" Nion spoke, breaking the silence, between them.

"No! She decided to pull my ear!"

"After you pulled mine!"

"That was an acci-"

Dusk looked at them both, "Will you two shut up?! You two are partners, work it out being civil!"

Peridot and Lilac grumbled and they looked at each other, "I'm sorry for accidentally pulling your ear when I was helping you..."

Lilac growled lowly, "and I'm sorry for purposely pulling your ear."

Dusk sighed softly and went back to eating. The team ate in silence as other teams resumed their normal business. Nion spotted a guy with spikey hair somewhat like hers. They locked eyes for a moment and the boy blushed a little bit, causing Nion to blush as well. She nods to him and looked away from him. I hope I have a class with him... She shook that thought out of her mind and stood up.

"We have Grimm Theory first right?" Nion asked Peridot

Peridot nods, "Apparently it's the same teach-"

Dusk groans, "Not him! Mom said he always talks about his stories!"

Peridot sighed, "Dusk...Is that true...?"

Dusk thought for a moment, "I may have been thinking about another professor..." She scratched her head sheepishly and giggled.

"Oum you are a lost cause already..." Lilac mumbled under her breath.

"Be nice, Lilac." Peridot looked at her then whispered, "Even though I agree as well."

They both giggled and Dusk and Nion shrugged. Then, they all got up and made their way to their class.


The Grimm Theory and History classes both ended with Nion almost falling asleep three times in each class. Finally, they arrive in a class that Nion would stay up for. Combat class. She could feel her blood boil in her body as she looks around, looking at the other people that she could fight. As she was looking at the other first years, she saw the boy from the cafeteria. She didn't have her first two classes with him and she was excited to have him in this class. Nion didn't know why she was excited, but she felt like she made a new friend just by locking eyes with him. Her team sat behind the boy's team as the looked at the combat teacher.

"My name is Professor Litwick." A man with purple hair on the top with white hair. He also wore a white and purple suit with pale skin. "I will be your combat teacher for your time at school. We would normally be doing team fights, but for the next couple days, we will be doing 1 on 1 fights for now." He pointed at Nion and the boy in front of her. "You two will fight first as you both fight without a weapon and have a...strange semblance...in which only one race would have that, but they are extinct."

Nion and the boy look at each other and nods before heading down to the arena floor. Once on the floor, they stepped on either side of the grounds and got into their fighting stances.

"This is a match between Gohan and Nion Birnan." Professor Litwick stated and they both got ready.

Nion smirked as Gohan looked focus and the match started. Nion started the fight by launching herself at Gohan with a punch. Gohan caught the punch and threw a punch back at her. Nion caught his fist as they both stared down at each other. They both smirked as Nion kicked Gohan's chest, sending him back and freeing their fists from the grasp of their opponent. Gohan chuckled and charged at her, both of them just a flurry of punches, some hitting, some missing. Gohan landed a punch to her face which caused her to stumble back. Nion grinned and gained her balance back. Gohan breathed out and looked up at her.

"If you are really like me, want to take it to the next level?" Gohan asked, standing up straight.

Nion chuckled, "If you want to, Gohan!"

They both stood up straight and their hair slowly starts to turn a golden yellow. Their eyes turned into a bright green as their hair stuck up a little bit and then looked more focus and ready. Dusk looked up at their Aura and saw that Nion was a bit lower and both of their Aura was draining after they transformed. The room fell silent as the students stared in awe of the two fighters. They don't know what they witnessed just then, but they knew that they were a force to reckon with. They stared down at each other before they went back to a flurry of attacks. The flurry of attacks consisting of hooks, jabs, and roundhouse kicks, left and right, from their both. This time, Nion landing more hits more often than Gohan. Gohan disengaged Nion and was met with a spinning right kick to his chest as he got sent backward. They laughed a little bit and they got back to where they used to be. From the looks of things, both of the fighters were tired out. Sweat beading down their cheeks as they were breathing heavily. They both glanced up at their aura quickly. One hit. That thought rang between all minds in the arena as Gohan and Nion stared each other down. Both resumed their fighting stances as they got ready for their final attack. Nion was the first one to "pounce" from her stance as she reared back a punch. Gohan did the same as they slammed both of their fists across their jaws. This caused their hair to turn back to black as they got sent away from each other. Professor Litwick coughed and looked at their auras.

"It's a draw! Both fighters have reached red aura!" He announced from his stand.

Gohan's and Nion's teammates ran down to help them get up to their feet. They slowly moved them to each other, where they shook hands.

"Good fight, Gohan."

"Good fight to you too, Nion Birnan..." They smirked as they took out their scrolls.

They exchanged scroll numbers as they went back up to the stands. Nion leant on Dusk as she was out of energy as she yawned out. She felt her eyelids closing as she slowly fell asleep, leaning onto Dusk.
