The morning sun was shining into Adam and Ruby's shared room as Adam began to stir first followed by Ruby herself as red amber met silver as always and the two met in a quick kiss that was not without its usual amount of fiery passion that the two shared for one another, "Class got cancelled this morning so we can go back to sleep if you're still tired Ruby." Adam said as he checked the Beacon scheduling app on his scroll, "Or..." Adam paused as he rolled over top of Ruby and stared long into her silver eyes that held only loving warmth for Adam, "We can fool around in bed until its time for Oobleck's history lesson." Adam said in a suggestive tone that had Ruby smiling at him, "You're insatiable, you know that right?" Ruby asked as Adam gave her a wolfish smirk in return, "You can't tell me you don't like it the way you're always moaning when we get started." Adam said as Ruby blushed beet red as she started hitting him on the chest with balled fists making Adam let out a chuckle as he planted a loving kiss on her forehead calming her down, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to upset you Ruby." Adam said as she leaned up and caught him in a fiery kiss that he returned with passion to match he would have gone farther were it not for sudden knocking on the door as Ruby heard Qrow speaking and quickly pulled the blankets over her undergarment clad body, "Clothed or not I'm coming in." Qrow said as he opened the door to find Ruby buried under the covers just over her nose while Adam was sitting over her with no shirt but thankfully still wearing his black pajama bottoms as Qrow raised an eyebrow in Adam's direction, "Am I interrupting something?" Qrow asked as Ruby blushed deeper than she was already as she started to glare at her Uncle with Adam following suit, "Gee you think Qrow?" Adam said sarcastically, "Plus there's the fact that I could swear we locked our door last night." Adam said in a firmer tone as he got out of his position over Ruby and stood up to match Qrow's height, "What do you want Qrow? I don't know if you noticed but your niece is practically naked under the blankets and from her expression alone im gonna wager a guess that she'd like for you to leave." Adam said as he clenched his fist tightly which caused his knuckles to crack, "It's not what I want, Oz wants to see you upstairs in his office just you and him." Qrow said firmly as Adam relaxed his hand and bid Qrow to leave so that he could get dressed.
Once he was remotely presentable he unlatched the lock and walked out of the dorm making sure he had his card key with him for the dorm's electromagnetic lock he boarded the elevator to Ozpin's office and as the elevator reached its destination Adam stepped off into the office to find an empty chair seated on the opposite side of Ozpin's desk and seated as always in his chair was Ozpin himself drinking from his coffee mug as he motioned for Adam to sit and make himself comfortable, "Now I'm sure you've been informed already but due to recent activity from your former comrades in the White Fang the Fall Vytal Festival has been held back until now and while you are a member of team RWBY and are therefore allowed to participate in the tournament I'm afraid I must ask you to refrain from utilizing your semblance during any fight in which you are involved as its lethality is not something that can go unchecked during the tournament... The risk of student fatalities are just too great." Ozpin said firmly as Adam nodded, "If that's all... Ruby and I were kind of in the middle of something seeing as Port's morning class got cancelled." Adam said as he stood up and saw himself out.
Returning to the dorm, Adam had been looking forward to picking up where he had left off with Ruby but was sad to find she had gotten dressed for the day in a solid black tank top that hugged her curves leaving little of her body's proportions to the imagination along with a corset on her waist that only served to further accentuated her B cup breasts, adorning her legs were a pair of black jeans with decorative flame patterns similar to the ones on Adam's mask that ran up the outer seams on the sides of the legs and adorning her right leg from the top of her thigh to just before her knee hung segmented plate armor with more crimson flame designs on the surface of each plate that further contributed to her already stunning beauty topping it all off was a black ankle length leather great coat of Mistralian design with a crimson red lining and a detachable hood that she had chosen to forego today and finally on a small magnetic holder on her belt was a crimson bladed balisong that Adam had custom ordered for her about three months before the two returned to Vale, "You look amazing as always Ruby." Adam said as he hugged his arms around her waist from behind as he planted several butterfly kisses on the crook of her neck the action making Ruby blush while the others in the dorm simply smiled at the two lovers before going about their day.
As Adam, team RWBY and team JNPR walked together to attend Oobleck's lesson in history that would more than likely include something that the faunus were involved in as it always did.
Being the one in the lead due to his long strides Adam was the first to walk into the classroom and was instantly met with glares from the members of tear CRDL, "Ah! Class you are in for a treat! Because the man standing before you is probably one of if not the deadliest person in this room for their semblance alone... Mr. Taurus here is also a-" Oobleck was about to reveal a detail best kept under wraps in Adam's opinion. As he skillfully elbowed Oobleck in the gut, "My apologies Doctor but that is a part of my personal history that I believe the students here are better off no knowing. If im going to be respected by the people here I want it to be genuine and not out of fear." Adam said as he nodded to the students as a gesture of respect before taking his seat next to Ruby, "Now class with the recent activity in Vale from the White fang how about we cover one of their historical fights from four years prior: The Battle of the Lethia Dust Refinery." Oobleck said as Adam outwardly groaned for hearing about one of the first major battles he was involved in when he had been a mere foot soldier in the White Fang, "Mr. Taurus your outward groan just now tells me you know something of this battle, what can you tell us? After all history does not lie and your name was listed among those that fought to free faunus workers that were kept against their willing in deplorable conditions." Oobleck said quickly earning a glare from Adam who sighed and stood up.
After telling the story team CRDL looked at Adam with much more interest than he would have liked he knew a bully when he saw one as he observed a rabbit faunus flinch when Cardin Winchester's eyes fell upon her when the bell rung signaling the end of the class as the students all headed for the cafeteria to have lunch.
In the cafeteria Adam had just sat down with his tray of food when he heard someone pleading with another person to stop what they were doing, looking over his shoulder Adam scowled at the sight of team CRDL picking on the rabbit faunus from Oobleck's class Cardin was pulling roughly on her ears which Adam knew from experience with his horns fucking hurt and with no warning whatsoever Adam reached into Ruby's coat and grabbed her folded balisong before standing up and walking over to the bullies, "I've been here all of two days and I'm already seeing discriminatory racist pieces of trash like you... If you think shit like this is gonna fly while I'm attending you're wrong... Adam said as he expertly twirled the balisong around his fingers and hand before stabbing the blade into the table between Cardin's middle and ring fingers without so much as a scratch to his aura making the teen scream in fear as Adam flared his aura around him giving him a demonic visage, "I see you pick on one more person here human or faunus and I promise you much pain and a trip to the infirmary." Adam said as he ripped the blade from the table before flicking it closed as team CRDL ran for their lives screaming about there being a demon on the grounds Adam didn't even have time to react as the faunus girl thanked Adam with a bow and ran off to join up with her teammates who all nodded their thanks to Adam who nodded back before returning to his seat.
Blake looked at him with an expression that said "You shouldn't have done that." while Weiss looked indifferent to the whole matter slightly irritating Adam, Ruby smiled at him for his good deed while Yang knocked the wind from his lungs with a hard pat on the back before Professor Goodwitch approached the table, "Mr. Taurus if you would please come with me the headmaster would like a word with you." she said as Adam let out a noise of sheer annoyance as he stood from his seat giving up on the idea of having a hot lunch after having pretty much taught Oobleck's history lesson for him and hosting a short Q&A session afterward boarding the elevator for the second time that day Adam let out a sigh as he stepped off the elevator and took a seat in the char across from Ozpin who looked up at him for only a moment before speaking, "Mr. Taurus, I understand that Miss Scarlatina was being bullied by the members of team CRDL but here at Beacon every student here, male and female, human and faunus must be left to solve their own problems by themselves it does no good to involve yourself the way you did v your actions may lead to those you care about being targeted as a form of revenge as is the nature of bullies." Ozpin said as Adam nodded, "If that's all I'll be going." Adam said as he stood, "Miss Rose and the rest of team RWBY have submitted you as their nomination for the tournament duos alongside Miss Rose and the solo finals round though as an attache member of Team RWBY you will have to sit out the team match." Ozpin said as Adam nodded and entered the elevator to join teams RWBY and JNPR in Goodwitch's combat class.
Arriving five minutes early Adam had already retrieved Wilt and Blush and was waiting with Miss Goodwitch for the rest of the students to arrive, "Today class we will be practicing team tactics against a single powerful foe, Mr. Taurus has agreed to play the part of that powerful foe. Be warned, he has been given permission to use his semblance so exercise caution when you engage him... Now, which team would like to face Mr. Taurus first?" Goodwitch asked as team CRDL stepped forward with wicked smirks on their faces, "Payback time freak." Cardin said with a malicious expression on his face.
