Warning the bully.
The next class has begun, this time it was a history class with professor Bartholomew Oobleck. He was nice enough, but there was a slight problem.
"This is prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution, more popularly known as the Faunus War!" Oobleck talked unnaturally fast as he zooms up to the front of the class and the map covered in papers behind his desk "Humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie." He points at the map of said-area with his stick, then zooms off to the side for a sip of his coffee before appearing in front of the desk "Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day!"
'What the heck is in that man's coffee?' Laura thought as she struggled to keep up with what he was saying. Even Mr. Fantastic and Iron man would want him to slow down.
He zooms around the classroom more, sipping his coffee again before continuing to zoom and talk "Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?"
Some of the silhouetted students raise their hands. The rabbit girl, after a moment, does the same and Laura gave her a sympathetic look.
"Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!" Oobleck said before he takes another sip of his coffee "I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang! Now, which one of you young scallions can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year of the War?" A hand is raised "Yes?"
"The battle at Fort Castle!" Weiss said
"Precisely! And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?" Oobleck asked.
"Hey!" Jaune suddenly said.
Oobleck zoomed over into Jaune's face "Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?".
"Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... of the Faunus..." Jaune began as he looks behind Oobleck's focused face at Pyrrha, who coughs and motions to her lips as she gives him the answer "...had over that guy's stuff..." He sees Pyrrha cup her hands around her eyes and goes for the most obvious answer "Uhh... Binoculars!"
While Jaune looks pleased with his answer, the class laughs at him and Oobleck (back at the front of the class) sips his coffee. Pyrrha and Laura sighs and slaps a hand to their foreheads.
Oobleck zoomed back behind his desk "Very funny, Mr. Arc! Cardin! Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!"
"Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier." Cardin answered smugly causing Laura to glare at him as Oobleck shakes his head in disapproval.
"You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you, Cardin?" Pyrrha commented.
"What? You got a problem?" Cardin asked with a hint of anger.
"No, I have the answer! It's night vision. Many Faunus are known to have nearly-perfect sight in the dark." Pyrrha said making Cardin growl at the correct response.
"General Lagune was inexperienced, and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and the general was captured." Blake finished before she turns to Cardin "Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure."
Laura smirked and offered Blake a high five which she gladly accepted. Cardin however got up from his seat and looked like he was about to go and strangle the girls but was interrupted by Oobleck.
"Mr. Winchester! Please take your seat." When Jaune laughs at his tormentor's embarrassment, Oobleck zoomed up to him "You and Mr. Arc can both see me after class for additional readings." Then he takes yet another sip of his coffee "Now! Moving on!".
After class Laura went to one of the school balconies to relax. Admiring the view, she began to think about her old home. It had been weeks since she arrived in this world and though she has made some friends and had a pretty good life so far, she couldn't help but to miss her old home and was wondering what her friends there were doing right now.
"Whats the matter tuff girl? You look like you lost all of your milk money" Came a voice behind her, a voice that she was all too familiar with.
"What do you want Cardin?" Laura asked not turning to him.
"Hey, I'm just trying to be friendly here. You looked a little down so I figured I could take you out on a date to make you feel better" Cardin said as he walked up next to her.
This time Laura did look at him "And what makes you think that I would ever go out with a disgusting slob like you?".
Cardin only smirked and said "Believe me, there are a lot more of me you haven't seen yet".
Cardin may be a shortsighted jerk, but he is not so blind that he can't recognise beauty when he sees it and Laura did seeme like his type of girl.
"Not interested" Laura said with a disgusted sigh before turning to leave only for Cardin to grab her arm and pulled her against his chest.
"Don't be like that Laura. I can give you a really 'fun' time" Cardin said as his other hand went towards an area it was not allowed.
WHAM
Before Cardin knew it, he was on the floor with Laura's foot pinning him down. Laura's claws slowly came out of her hand, stopping inches away from Cardin's now terrified face.
"Listen carefully Cardin. Don't ever touch me again, or I will cut of limbs. And believe me, they are limbs you will be missing" Laura warned with a deadly glare before she got of him and stormed off.
'The nerves of that guy' Laura thought as she entered Team RWBLY's dorm and slammed the door behind her causing the rest of her team to jump.
"Are you alright Laura?" Ruby asked a little shaken up by Laura's entry.
"I'm fine" Laura said as she grabbed a towel "I just need a really long shower".
"But" Ruby began
"I SAID I'M FINE" Laura snapped before slamming the bathroom door shut.
The other girls were completely stunned by Laura's sudden outburst. Sure she has always been a little moody, but this is the first time time she had snapped at them like that.
During her shower, Laura felt guilty for snapping at her team like that. It wasn't them she was mad at. Cardin just really left her in a bad mood.
Putting on her pajamas, Laura went back to the room only to see her team getting ready for bed.
"Hey" Laura said, causing the other girls to look at her "I'm sorry for yelling at you all. I was a little frustrated and ended up taking it out on you. I'm sorry".
After a few moments of silence Ruby smiled at her and said "It's alright Laura. We forgive you".
"Still, why were you in such a bad mood anyway?" Weiss asked.
"Cardin" Laura answered simply.
That immediately made the other girls faces turn serious.
"What did he do?" Blake asked.
"I don't wa-" Laura was interrupted when Yang looked her dead in the eyes.
"What. Did. He. Do?" Yang demanded her eyes turning red for a moment.
"He… tried to touch me" Laura answered.
"HE WHAT?" The other girls shouted in rage.
"Girls calm down" Laura said.
"Calm down?" Weiss said in disbelief "Laura, that was sexual harassment!"
Laura held up her hands and said "Look I already put him in his place. I'm confident he wont try something like this again, so please, just drop it. I'm tired and need some sleep".
The girls didn't look convinced but then Ruby said "Fine. But you are sleeping with one of us".
"What? But I finally got my own mattress" Laura said only for Ruby to glare into her eyes.
"That's an order from your team leader Laura and also your punishment for snapping at us. Now stop complaining and do as I say" Ruby said with a look in her silver eyes that was almost daring Laura to try and argue.
Laura sighed in defeat and said "Alright, which one?".
Ruby and Yang smirked at each other, making Laura a little nervous. In the end she ended up sharing her own mattress with both Ruby and Yang. Both were hugging her from each side.
'Note to self: Don't snap at my team' Laura thought before falling asleep.
