Chapter Ten
I was woken up by Jaune shaking me rapidly.
"We're late! We're late!"
"For what?" I grumbled.
"Oh, the hunter parade, class you moron!"
"We have class?!"
"YES!"
"Bollocks!"
Jaune and I rapidly changed into our uniform, although I was still half asleep. I noticed that Ruby and Blake weren't here.
"They must've already gone." I concluded.
"We shouldn't hang around then, come on!"
Once we were changed we sprinted out the door to get to first class. It took about a minute to get there since we were quick, but we made it in the middle of a lecture by some lanky guy with green hair and a caffeine addiction. His eyes, along with the eyes of our classmates, snapped towards us.
"You two!" He snapped and zoomed to us. "What time do you call this?"
"Sorry sir." Jaune began. "We were just...er..."
"Could I have some of that?" I grumbled groggily while pointing at his mug.
I only realised what I'd just asked after asking it. Everyone in the room stared dumbfounded at the question, and the professor snarled angrily. Jaune looked terrified. But I was too tired to change my expression.
"No." He finally said, furiously. "Now sit down."
I slumped to my place and threw my head against the desk, only to snap back up due to the prodding of an annoyed looking Blake. She wasn't happy. The professor stared at me.
"Since you disrupted my lesson, would you mind telling me the advantage the Faunus had which eventually helped them to win the war?"
Was he serious? I learnt this when I was 6.
"Night vision." I slurred. "The generals of the human army overlooked the faunus abilities to see in the dark, and thought a night assault would suit their advantage. It didn't."
He stared at me, annoyed that he hadn't caught me out. He returned to the lecture, and I slowly lowered my head and waited for it to end. When it did, we all got up and left.
Once we got out, Blake snapped at me.
"Where were you?!"
"I overslept."
"Yeah, I noticed. Why?"
"Why does anyone oversleep?"
She death-glared me.
"Okay, I'm sorry. I'll try not to do it again."
She seemed more satisfied with that response.
"Good. Anyway, lunch is getting served. Come on."
We walked together in the lunch hall and sat with the rest of our team, plus team RWNS. I sat between Velvet and Jaune.
"How you feeling?" I asked Jaune.
He looked panicked. "Who told you?!"
I looked confused. "Told me what? I was asking because we were tired this morning."
"Oh, right. Yeah."
"What did you think I meant?"
He sighed. "Cardin..."
"Who?"
"Cardin Winchester." Ren explained. "He's sitting over there."
I looked where he was pointing, and saw a tall, built brunette with three other knobhead looking characters. They were sitting and laughing to themselves.
"He's the leader of team CRDL, and takes pleasure in bullying people."
"Why?" I asked.
"Who knows? Doesn't matter, really. He especially has a thing for faunus."
Velvet looked down shamefully. I looked to her.
"Hey. If he ever picks on you, you tell us, okay?"
She smiled a little at me.
"Thanks..."
