Chapter 6: Forming Allies

Thoroughly Impressed with his two assigned teams Cal attempted to head back to his room after the challenge in Emerald Forest to begin planning his ideas for earning their trust before strengthening the bonds between them all. Instead he was intercepted by Glynda Goodwitch.

"Hi, Cal,Glynda I'm not sure we've been properly introduced."

"Well it's nice to meet you." She offered her hand which I grabbed and gave a warm kiss my eyes locked to hers. Glynda was in her mid thirties but dressed like an older librarian. Her light blonde hair in a tight bun with thin glasses. Her skin looked painfully taut on her face and her shirt left no button unbuttoned. She wore a black skirt that was business professional.

She seemed unimpressed by my swagger. "Follow me please." She led me to a hallway with several doors. Several were labeled, Oobleck, Goodwitch, Port… To my surprise she led me to a blank door. She pulled out her weapon. A 12" wand, though it looked to Cal more like a switch, and waved it in front of the blank name plate of the door. It wavered with mystical energy before coalescing into his own name. Without saying a word she entered Cal's new office.

I followed and closed the door behind.

"I don't approve of you being here," she began.

I went to stammer a response but she held up a hand.

"I don't approve but I trust Ozbin. I trust him with my life and the lives of every student and citizen of Vale, therefore as long as he believes in your unusual… talents. I will do anything to assist you." She paused let that sink in.

After a moment, "So tell me of your semblance."

Cal thought wondering how much to say. "I don't like to use it very often...it feels like cheating."

"I assure you Mr. Rikter that if it will help prepare these students to face what's coming and the people that want to hurt them there is no such thing."

"Well I can come about this close to reading people's minds," I say holding my fingers slightly apart. "When they are in an extreme emotional state I swear I can pick out words. I can easily see their auras and their emotions. It appears as different colors to me and I've gotten better at reading nuances over the years."

"Interesting, read me...honestly, and in detail." she responds still frowning.

I gulp and close my eyes which impedes my ability to read Glynda not at all. It's just easier without her piercing emerald eyes boring into me. "Nervousness, excitement, a hefty bit of annoyance, jealousy, and overwhelming love. I look up at her. She sighs and lets the stress flow out of her. She undoes her hair and takes off her glasses nervously biting one of the arms. The tightness in her face loosens and I can see her features are quite pretty when not pulled back.

"I guess your the real deal huh?"

"I'm trying," I say honestly. I decide to confide in her, trust her and test my own opinions of why I was here.

"I'm a good fighter, a good hunter, and have a plethora of experience that I can teach the students here. I don't think that's why I'm here though."

She nods.

"I'm here to help create unbreakable bonds between the students. Stronger than friends, stronger than lovers. At my old school I slept with the majority of the students and several of the teachers. Whether it's an unknown factor of my semblance, my faunus heritage, or my physical...gifts, I have been drawn and had others be drawn to me. Every person that created a bond with me became one of the top performing students at my school. Not to mention they now have a network of support spread all over Remnant. I never had an encounter that ended poorly with jealousy or hatred. With emotional teenagers that seems hard to believe. I think that's why I'm here. To encourage and grow these same bonds between the students here particularly Team RWBY and JNPR as they were personally assigned to me. Breaking the students down to their core personalities and then letting them show each other their true selves seems to be my mission and the only way I know how to do that is with sex. With myself and with each other."

There it was said out in the open in the simplest way I knew how. I prepare myself to the shock and outrage. A teacher having sex and encouraging sex between other students. It was more than unorthodox.

"Ozbin agrees...and so I agree with you too. I wanted to give you some advice though...be careful. Each of the students have families, a few words to their families and you might be in more than you bargained for. Weiss is heiress to the richest company in the world, Blake has connections to the White Fang and has an influential father in Mystral. They wouldn't take too kindly to their daughters being manipulated in this way. "

I nod.

"I'll help you if I can," she says nervously.

I smile, "thank you." I think for a minute, "The other teachers?" I ask. "What happens if they find out? Who has Ozbin trusted?"

"The teachers for the older students aren't involved. Oobleck and Port don't know the explicit details but know you're going to be focusing more on personal issues than classroom lessons."

"And if they did?"

"I'm not sure...They're older they might not accept such unorthodox methods."

"They need to. This is what I need your help with," I said realizing it. I step closer to her and grab her hand.

"We all need to trust each other, we all need to stand together as one. They've known you for years. There's no one else that can do this. Earn their trust and love."

Her lip quivers and she grabs onto my hand. "I don't how to do that.I don't know if i can do that."

Seeing the glow of her aura I know exactly what she needs to hear. "Do it for Ozbin." I can see her stabilize and emotions turn to determination. Then I lean forward and passionately kiss her on the lips. Her aura melts and I know I've found an ally.

I left my office leaving Glynda to take her time. I could have easily taken her for sex then and there but felt better to let her simmer. I return to my bed exhausted but still spend several hours going over the information I have on my students.

The teachers scrolls can view every aspect of the students. I can see exactly what they search type or send. It was clear team RWBY had a late night and no one set an alarm. I thought about switching one on for them but decided a little uncertainty would be good for them. Looking over at JNPR Pyrrha had set an alarm. I decided to turn it off and then set up for my first memo to be set out team wide at 8:15am. Class started at 8:30am so it would be a scramble for them to all show up on time.

I sent them all invites to my office at various times throughout the it would be 30 minute 1 on 1 study sessions once class ended but i hoped it would be so much more.

I turned in for the night and looked forward to the next day.
