[Three Days later]
"Ruby, please tell me you didn't lose the book report that is due today?" Weiss pleaded with a small glare. Ruby pulled it out with a confident smile.
"See? I can be reliable." she had a proud grin on her face as she did so.
"...Ruby, where's the book?" Weiss asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Weiss, stop worryin! My grade will be fine."
"A team leader needs good grades, not OK grades, so find the book and hurry!" Weiss demanded before she left the room with crossed arms. She pouted as she humphed. Weiss has been on her about grades for a while now. It had something to do with her almost failing a test in Oobleck's class; thank goodness Drago was there to assist! Speaking of said boyfriend, he said he was gonna train alone for the next few weeks for the upcoming Vytal Tournament. They agreed to keep the secret about his kids, though that didn't stop her from calling them cute from time to time. She ruffled around her bed, which in all honesty, is pretty dang messy with many school supplies, binders and papers due to the lack of a backpack.
She finally found the book she was looking for and held it with a dramatic pose, but dropped it when she slipped on another book from Blake's collection. The book she found slid and knocked over Drago's bag, along with the journal that got knocked out. Ruby groaned in slight annoyance at the mess, before gasping at the clock: she only had seven minutes before class starts. In her rush she picked up the book she dropped, unknowingly grabbing Drago's journal as well that was under it.
[Ooblecks classroom]
"Ugh, where is Ruby!?" Weiss asked in a demanded tone as she tapped her foot. "It's almost time!"
"Hey Weiss, you've been on Ruby's case lately, what's up?" Yang asked, as the rest of team RWBY were sitting next to Drako and Topaz, still trying to get used to the uniforms.
"She almost failed a test two days ago!" Weiss said with crossed arms. "I will not allow that to happen again as her partner."
"This...dang thing." Drako mumbled as he adjusted the collar to his uniform.
"I don't like this." Topaz somewhat complained as she was also adjusting the collar of the uniform.
"You'll grow into it, we all had to." Yang assured. "School dress code can get a bit annoying at times, but what can ya do?"
"Beg to them to show mercy?" Topaz suggested.
"Sorry kiddo, school policy." Yang chuckled. Drako watched Velvet walk past with books in her hand with observing eyes. The first time he met her, was yesterday. He accidentally knocked into her when he was studying and had a hard time apologizing due to the books covering the floor. When he gazed at her though under all the books, he almost found it cute, especially with the Bunny ears. Though, as he did try to apologize after helping her up, while giving a shy type of nature, some guy that was just as tall as Drago in this world looked down upon him with the meanest glare, thinking he was a threat. It was like he was her bodyguard or something. He did apologize, but did get somewhat dragged away by a glaring Drago, who just glared harder at the other giant. He stopped looking at her as she sat down calmly as she placed her books down gently and waited patiently.
What interrupted the train of thought, was someone bursting into the room loudly as most students looked that way to Ruby panting heavily.
"I *pant* made it *pant*."
"Finally! Did you find your book report?" Weiss said as she leaned in towards Ruby. She nodded quickly as she presented the books to her...wait books?
'Why does she have two books?' Weiss thought confused with a tiny glare. The bell rang as Oobleck zoomed into the room.
"Alright class, settle down and take your seats!" he said quickly as he zoomed towards Weiss and Ruby. "Now!" then zoomed away again as they quickly got to their seats. Drako chuckled at this while Topaz was trying to follow Oobleck's speed. "Now! Other than the new students that just got here over the weekend and doesn't know much of our history, you have had a book report to finish up in two days, leave them up at the front desk after class, REMEMBERTHAT!" he then zoomed towards his chalk boards as he slid down, writing really fast.
"My brain hurts…" Topaz said laying her head down with comical swirling eyes.
"Deep breaths Topaz...deep breaths." Drako comforted her with a few pats on the back. The class was normal for the teams that have been there for a full semester, for the siblings not so much. Drako could catch up with what he is saying as he gave lessons and wrote down just fine, the only hard part was trying to keep his sister awake so she could get the notes. Every time Oobleck moved or talked too fast, Topaz would faint due to how she could not compute what he said. Ruby was kind of on the same boat as her, but got used to it in about a couple of days, so she patted her on the back too.
Finally, the bell rings causing Topaz to shoot up from her faint as she looked around quickly in panic, only to realize that it was time to leave and sighed. She silently cheered as she sped out of the room with a happy expression. Drako shook his head from his sister's eagerness to leave with a chuckle. As he got up to leave, he passed by Velvet who took a small glance at him. When he glanced back, she turned away quickly with a blush on her face that went unnoticed by him. All the students were stacking book reports on his desk as Ruby was last in line.
"Here you go Professor Oobleck."
"Ah, thank you Miss Ruby, glad to see you are doing work." Oobleck replied with a smile as he sipped his canister. "It wasn't too hard for you, right?"
"Oh, no...took me a few hours, but I think I got it!" she said with a whole lot of confidence.
"Fantastic, good job." Oobleck said quickly as he drank his coffee. He took the book report as Ruby exited out of the class with a smile. Oobleck looked at it until he felt another book as he motioned his fingers. He moved the book report on top as he studied this new book with a confused look. From what he could tell, it was old, very old. The worn out, dulled colored leather, and the slight yellowish coloring of the pages. The only thing that looked new, was the small dragon and winged unicorn locked in combat on the front cover, it didn't even look old, like it was just cleaned and polished.
"Fascinating…" with that word being said he quickly puts it in his jacket as he walked out of his classroom. 'Something about this book tells me it will give us some good information…'
[Cinder's dorms]
Cinder was currently petting a small black bird as she looked at it. She looked at the scroll next to her. What involved that scroll, was all the massacres Drago has created during his time here in Vale. For the past few months of her going on a date with him, training, or just hanging out, she has used this time to get to know him, understand his weaknesses, and give off these videos for the tournament at the worst possible time. She has already succeeded to show that Ozpin could not be considered worthy to protect the tournament, which was a big success, despite Roman doing it earlier than anticipated. She grabbed the scroll as she was about to give it to the parrot sized nevermore bird...but stopped midway. The nevermore cawed a bit in confusion, wondering why she stopped. Unlike most small Nevermores, this one was black with stripes all over its body, the mask had two claw marks on it as it tilted its head at Cinder.
She thought about the fun times she did have with the giant faunas individual. Their laughter, their talks, even that event on the fourth date, which was a complete accident in the first place, but still memorable.
For once in her life, she started to have second thoughts about all this, thinking maybe it shouldn't end like this and so on...but a voice was pulling her back towards the scheme in mind to bring her something more desirable. She quickly gave the parrot sized nevermore the scroll as she petted it with her finger. She then walked towards the open window, and sent it on its way.
She waited till she couldn't hear the wings flapping before she closed the window. She sat down on her bed for a while, in deep thought on what might happen when, she learned about him.
[Teacher's Lounge]
"Wrong...wrong...right...wrong." Port said checking an assignment that was turned in today. "Also wrong...right."
"Cardin's or Russell's?" Anthony asked as he pushed a paper aside.
"Russell." Port absentmindedly said before saying "wrong" or "right" on the paper. Glynda was getting more close with Anthony ever since the date three days ago. Port has been wondering what in god's name did he do at the date, since they are so close when he thought Glynda wasn't interested in anyone. He had a few ideas, but didn't know if any of them were true.
The door opened showing Oobleck walk in behind Ozpin, something in his hand.
"What'cha got there doc?" Anthony asked as he leaned in his chair.
"That is a pretty detailed book." Rodriguez commented.
"And something about it seems...troublesome." Glynda said with suspicion.
"I haven't opened it yet, I was waiting till all of us were present." Oobleck said as he set the old book down on the table. "From just looking at it, I can tell that it is very old. The worn out cover, the yellowing pages. The only thing that's looks new is this, symbol, on the front cover." Anthony lifted the book as he touched the symbol on it. To say the least, it was still smooth, shiny even. He was a bit intrigued by the dragon and the winged unicorn locked in combat, though he was confused why the dragon looked angry while the winged unicorn had a malicious, dark smile. He looks at Ozpin for the que to continue with his curiosity to open the book. He gave a slight nod as he stood next to him. He opened it slowly and went a little wide eyed.
"Doc….where did you get this?" he asked.
"From miss Rose, why?" Oobleck said slightly confused. Without saying a word, he sets the book down to reveal the name of the owner on the first page for every professor to see. Their, written in black ink, was the name: Drago Dragonheart.
"...Why does senorita Rose have Drago's book?" Rodriguez asked confused and shocked.
"Ah dunno, but this will be a problem if he finds out his personal belonging is missing." Anthony replied.
"He won't." Ozpin assured with an adjustment of his glasses. "He is off to practice for the tournament for a few weeks, I excused him for those weeks as Glynda, Port, and Oobleck already know."
"Hm…" Anthony said, a bit hesitant but complied to continue opening the book at a random page labeled "Enemies".
"Seems he has some unfavorable people." Glynda commented. Anthony flipped the first page of this labeled section; revealing a man in a dark blue full bodysuit with red boots, cape and an "S" symbol on the chest with pale skin and short black hair. Underneath him was a name labeled "Injustice Superman."
"The injustice universe involved the fall of the once Superman that fought for Justice and hope to all." Anthony read outloud to the professors. "An insane man known as the Joker tricked him into killing his wife and unborn son by drugging him, causing a bomb to be triggered and exploding in his city known as Metropolis."
Ozpin had an unreadable expression, but inside he was upset and angered at this "Joker" individual.
"Due to absolute grief, he confronted the captured criminal, and making him lose his control, killing him by piercing his hand through his heart." Anthony continued.
"By oum." Glynda said with widen eyes and shocked expression.
"The once humble and hopeful Superman, was lost for good when he killed that one man, telling himself and even his friends, that he killed one to save millions." Anthony that showed a somewhat sympathetic expression. "For what he didn't realize, was that not only was he hurting himself, but the friends around him as he started to execute Gotham City inmates from Arkham Asylum."
"Sounds like something Mr. Dragonheart would've done." Oobleck commented. "They have almost similar thoughts on their version of justice."
"He believed humans needed great leadership, creating the "One Earth" Government, eliminating all other parties that opposed, that included friends of his that tried to reason with him or stop him from doing any more radical moves towards inhumane actions, which lead to their deaths."
"He killed his own friends!?" Port said shocked and angered.
"It is the story of a man that has lost all hope, and wish to take control as he uses it as an excuse to "protect." Rodriguez said with a shake of his head.
"One man was able to live from Superman's Reign, named Bruce Wayne, AKA Batman, who opposed these senseless killings, creating his own formation to take down the Regime; known as the Insurgency."
"A rebellion, so to speak." Ozpin said with a light smile.
"Sadly enough, as said before, those who opposed or challenged Superman was executed, leaving only Batman, and secretly, Superman's best friend, Lex Luthor, funding the rebellion as much as he could." Anthony looked more down towards the pages. "Not everyone was against Superman however. There were few that follow him due to fear, or to those that think he is right and have lost their own perspective, believing what he is doing is the absolute way to have peace. Accompanied by villains he once fought, either bought them to fight on his side or created peace with."
"Kind of a hypocrite if he made allies with his once enemies. " Oobleck said shaking his head.
"That's what happens when you get blinded by grief." Ozpin replied to him. "No man should try to handle the situation into his own hands if they are gonna do horrendous things."
"Question." Port asked looking up. "How does Dragonheart know this person?"
"Considering it's his enemies…" Anthony started out. "He must of fought them himself...plus he has a "reason for killing" section."
"He does?"
"Yeah, every fighter is motivated to do what they believe is right….his must be that any threat should be eliminated...much like he did with the White Fang, but not like people like Roman Torchwick." Anthony explained. "He has a set of limits to killing humans."
"Sadly, once you start killing...there is no going back." Rodriguez added.
"Curiously speaking, what does it say on that section?" Glynda asked as Anthony went back to reading it.
"With the deaths of thousands, to potentially millions of lives taken, I saw him as a threat. I can not forgive him for these crimes, he may have been a hero once, but now, he's no better than Joker or even Darkseid. He's nothing, but a dictator who sees even his own friends as enemies."
"I do not fault him for his reasoning." Ozpin declared. "But killing them won't resolve anything." Glynda took the book away from Anthony as she flipped to the next page herself as she kept her glare. The next page almost made her jump at the picture. It showed Drago who was being swarmed by people with what looked like hero costumes. Their skin was sickly dark and their lips were missing, showing bloody teeth that were sharpened a bit. Some were trying to bite his neck, others tried to pry off his armor. He held one back in his left hand that wore a red and blue skin tight suit, and in his right hand was what looked like an armored man that was red and gold.
"My word…" Glynda said, sounding a bit frightened by this. Anthony was a tad bit surprised at this picture himself when seeing these heros, Rodriguez included. Port gave a small disgusted look from the image as Oobleck and Ozpin stared with curious eyes.
"What does it say, Glynda?" Ozpin asked. She shook her head a bit before she read the title below it.
"Marvel Zombies, a universe filled with once great heroes, now turned to cannibalistic monsters that eat everyone in sight due to a cosmic virus." She was almost sceptical about this "cosmic" virus, wondering about where it came from. "I had arrived here, expecting to see the proud city of New York, but all I saw were ruins and empty streets. No life, just empty streets, unless I counted the many corpses, or what was left of them as things on the streets."
"That is a very shameful and unexpecting visit to say the least." Anthony said with a shake of his head. The other professors agreed with nodding heads as Glynda continued.
"I searched for over three hours, and I haven't found any living things in sight. No people, no animals, just the corpses. From what I learned about these dead bodies, I saw they were torn open, their insides were missing, and the throats have been chewed out. These people were eaten, just about a few days old by my guess."
"Sounds like the deserted town from the southeast." Oobleck said in a thinking tone, remembering the history of it.
"I still feel for the people who died there." Port said in a solemn tone.
"I continued my search for any signs of life, and I found one, or so I thought. The first person I saw was the heroine, Wasp. She was crying in the middle if the streets, I couldn't see her face, so I walked over and made myself known… That was a bad idea. The next thing I know, she lunges at me screaming "feed me!", I was caught off guard by her face, it was decaying and her teeth were easy to see. I thought I ended her when I beheaded her, but she still kept screaming at me to feed her my flesh. So I granted her wish, by that, I mean I just crushed her head to bloody pieces with my hand."
"Zombies aren't the best things to exactly help, for their digestive is non existent as they constantly eat." Anthony said knowingly as he rubbed his chin.
"How do you know this?" Port asked somewhat intrigued.
"I use to read up a lot when I was a lad, while my brother worked more on the inside while we both worked for the law back in our village." Anthony hated half lying to people, but what else could he say? That he was actually a skeleton from a different world? Like anyone would believe something like that in the slightest. But they were reading a journal belonging to what they guess is a universal traveler, but that could be wrong… Maybe.
"I thought I was in the clear for now, until I heard a bunch of growls around me, so I looked up, and there they were, over hundreds of heroes and heroines, who were now zombies, surrounding me with hunger in their eyes, or for some of them, eye. I barely has enough time to completely vaporize three of them before they started to try and pull off my armor and bite into my skin. Luckily, my scales are tough, including my armor so they had no chance at biting anything off, but now I know how bigger bugs feel when they get swarmed by ants."
"Interesting...comparison." Oobleck commented with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, the lad is still rather taller than most of the students except for the other lad from Team CFVY." Port said shrugging.
"One of them, someone who used to be Wolverine, tried to stab my eyes out, all I did was flick him away with my tail, but it was kind if hard when you have a bunch of zombies swarming you and trying to fucking bite you. Seriously, I'm not a fucking Buffet!" Glynda paused for a moment to clear her throat after what she read. "It's what the book says not me."
"It's from Dragonheart, I expect nothing surprising from his mouth." Anthony said as he shrugged. Glynda sighed as she placed the book down and turned the page. The next person was a buff male with ash grey skin and red line tattoos. He had a scar over one of his eyes, and one near his stomach, He wielded a large glowing oversized sword in his hands. He was currently in the picture In a sword clash with Drago, having a power struggle. Underneath the picture was an arrow pointing at the ash grey warrior with the name: Kratos.
"Kratos the Slayer of Gods?" Rodriguez read out from the description with a furrowed eyebrow.
"Quite the title to claim." Port commented with furrowed brows.
"It's not an exaggeration either...there are pictures of Kratos slaying gods such as "Zeus"." Ozpin said pointing at it. Ozpin looked onto the description as he read it, showing a giant muscular man with long white hair and beard.
"Do you think these gods are from a different universe?" Oobleck asked.
"Possibly, but let's see what it has to say." Port declared.
'What does that make Drago?' Ozpin thought with a small glare he kept hidden behind his coffee.
"Kratos, one of the most powerful demigods I met in this universe. A true warrior who I could mistake as another me with his attitude. I met him at the top of Mount Olympus after he killed his father, Zeus."
"Why would he kill his father?" Glynda asked confused, until she read a small caption to the side about how he use to serve the gods so he could defeat Ares, the god of war, who made him kill his own wife and child. He succeeded, but the gods he served who gave them their word to remove the cursed memories, did not. He became the new god of war until he was tricked by his father and killed, and swore vengeance against the gods of Olympus. Glynda felt saddened for this demi god as Ozpin continued to read.
"He stood over the god as he held two unique looking blades as he turned his head towards me, with a look I am too familiar with: vengeance and anger. I originally came her to fight the other gods, but when you're presented with a mere mortal who has the powers of a God, you don't waste it if you're like me."
"So he fought him within warrior code…" Anthony said with a rub of his chin.
"Seems there is some honor in our young faunas." Port said intrigued.
"He then fully faced towards me as he was already in a fighting position, ready to attack no matter who it was. While I asked him to state his business, his exact words were: "To watch the death of Gods that lies, and watch them bleed for their selfishness." his voice sounded violent, and very vengeful for something I wasn't exactly sure off. Then again, it didn't exactly matter to me, for I was interested in this demi god. In my words, I asked him if he would be foolish enough to fight me. He merely glared at me, as he accepted this as a challenge from another god, claiming I will bleed like the rest of these so called "gods." I merely laughed when he said that, telling him though I may not be an Olympian, I would still grant him the warrior's death, on my Draconian God Honor."
"If this was chivalry years, I would say this is the most kindest thing he has ever done." Rodriguez declared.
"What did he mean by "Draconian God"?" Glynda asked somewhat confused at the title.
"Perhaps an ego trip?" Port suggested.
"I doubt Dragonheart is the egotistical type." Ozpin answered back.
"Our battle lasted for hours, the tower we were once on, was nothing but ruins of rubble. He has finally drawn out the one weapon that could've potentially kill me, the Sword of Olympus. The weapon that can kill even the strongest of gods. We clashed blades with each other for approximately forty minutes before we got into a struggle with our weapons, my family's sword, against his god killing sword."
"My oh my, this is a rather intense story than I thought it would be." Port said as he wiped some sweat of his brow.
"You are not wrong my friend, this would be the battle of all battles if it was here in remnant." Oobleck stated.
"This was the first I have ever underestimated, for something I wish I haven't, for he showed many skill to deserve a title for slaying Gods. After our clash, we both charged again and released one final attack of our weapons, slicing through one another. We stood there for about a few seconds, before I heard the sound of Krato's sword breaking, and the sound of flesh rippling loudly. My armor barely protected me from the slice, as it had a large going cut on it, my blood spilling out gently. I turned to see him on his knees, the sword of Olympus, broken in two on each side, as he bled from a large gaping wound near his heart. I walked towards the front of him and looked down at him, who gave off his usual glare. Suddenly, as we looked at each other, he spreaded his arms to his sides as he said these words: "I have lost this duel, for I could not surpass myself to defeat you, God. Give me the death of a true Warrior...a Spartan, For I have failed this challenge." I merely glared down at him with my own stoic look before I promised him what he wanted. I raised my sword up and was ready to deliver the final blow, and there I saw in his eyes, was a burning blue flame I knew of. My blade made contact with him, his body staying upright before he fell to the ground, releasing a powerful energy into the world, something I knew it would need: Hope."
"...At least he has some respect towards others, despite it involving death." Ozpin said as he analyzed the page.
"Must be a rare thing to happen for one such as him." Oobleck said drinking his coffee with a shrug. Port flipped the page this time to see another enemy of his that made him sort of jumped.
What was revealed was a large skeleton, wearing a darkish gray crown as he wore black robe with armor pieces on his torso, arms, and bracelets. His weapon was a long scythe as the blade itself was more than fifteen inches long. His eyes, were pure green as he gave off a death glare in the picture. What was labeled under him, was the name: "Liche King; Ruler of the Underworld".
"Good lord." Oobleck said as he put his canister on the table. "What a dastardly looking fellow." Rodriguez dragged the book to him as he started to read it himself, he looked...focused on the picture with a glare. Anthony had his arms crossed as he looked at the picture himself...with anger and resentment towards this one individual.
"Liche King, one of the worst enemies I have fought against that I am glad is gone. He is despicable, heartless, and above all, pure evil. He would torture souls as a daily routine, and force them to fight for him. Even to his own subjects he supposedly "took cared of."
"It's those with no soul I cannot stand." Anthony said bitterly as he covered his eyes with his hat.
'This one almost reminds me of her.' Ozpin thought with a glare at the picture.
"I was angered by his deeds for unforgivable crimes I could not stand. I went to go confront him in his castle, wanting to end him for good, which many have failed to do. If there was one thing to describe his castle, it would be gloomy and full of darkness. His castle many times has tried to break me, but my willpower is far stronger than anything his castle could throw at me. His dark curses and magic would not affect me, and he knew it."
"You clearly run out of options once your most dedicated strategy has no effect." Oobleck said with a small smirk.
"I am actually starting to understand why he kills." Glynda said sort of understanding. "However, I believe this individual is far worse than the White Fang."
"Once I finally made it to his throne room; he sat there with an evil like smirk, like he was amused and intrigued I managed to make it this far into his castle. He slowly stood up as he picked up his massive weapon as I glared him down menacingly. I told him he will rew the day he ever crossed paths with me, which to he merely laughed and told me to keep my speeches and not waste his breath."
"Straight to the point, he must be confident in his abilities." Port said with crossed arms.
"We have both fought skillfully, and I'll admit, he has almost bested me. However, in the end, it was he who fell due to him underestimating everyone that fell before him. He fell on on his knees as I walked up, clutching my stomach that a wound was created near there. He laughed as I raised my sword up, turning to his side as he corrupted a pile of bones with his dark magic, declaring that he will forever live on within the the now staging birth of a Liche King skeleton. The Liche King was slain, the tortured souls soon escaped the castle, ready to earn their long lost rest. My attention was now on the pile of bones he put his magic into."
"My first guess would be to destroy it." Ozpin guessed with a furrowed eyebrow.
"Most reasonable, wouldn't want another Liche King on the loose…" Port said.
"I debated whether or not to destroy them, and after ten to fifteen minutes of thinking, I didn't. They were not worth something to waste my power on. If he ever did come back, my powers will be beyond his. He would never reach my level of power no matter what he does. So I did the one thing I almost never do, I banished them to a random dimension. And that was the last I ever saw those bones. Whatever happened to them, I will not know, but if what he said was true, I will be happy to destroy his creation." And with that, the enemies list was finished as Glynda closed the book. It was quiet for a moment before Anthony took the book himself.
"Perhaps I should return this...wouldn't want a very pissed off Faunas Giant." he said.
"Hand it over to Miss Rose, I'm sure he trusts her with this than anyone else." Ozpin suggested with a sip of his coffee. Anthony nodded as he went towards the door, then stopped to look on Oobleck.
"Before I go, mind if I ask how Ruby did on her book report? Almost surprised me she almost failed a test in your class, Oobleck."
"Not to worry, she passed with a good B+."Oobleck said with a grin before he zoomed up the cupboards, looking for some coffee mix. Anthony shook his head with a smile as he walked out of the room, glad it was actually still daytime, though it was soon getting dark.
[Hallway]
He stopped in front of Team RWBY's door as he knocked three times, the book safely placed inside his jacket. He heard the comical sounds if someone falling and making an "oof" sound before the door opened, revealing a grinning Ruby who tried to act cool by leaning on the door frame.
"How can I help you teach?" She asked with a small worried grin as she chuckled. Anthony furrowed his brow but soon dismissed it.
"Well...I came to tell you that Oobleck is glad to see that you manage to get your grade to passing in history." Anthony started out. Which caused Ruby to fist bump in celebrations. "However, there is one thing he told me to tell you."
"W-what's that?" Ruby asked nervously. Anthony pulled out Drago's journal as he showed it to her.
"Make sure you be careful what you pick up." he grinned. Ruby gasped before she pulled the journal out of his hands quickly.
"Oh thank Oum, I thought I wouldn't find this!" She said with a relieved smile.
"Make sure you keep that safe yea? I bet your boyfriend wouldn't be real happy with you if he found out."
"I know...did… Did you read any of it?" Ruby asked with slight suspicion. Like he said, he hates lying to people, but he didn't know if it was a wise choice to tell Ruby that all the professors read through his enemies in any sort of way. So he avoided this question the simpliest way he can with Ruby Rose.
"Why did you read it?" Anthony asked with a chuckle and furrowed eyebrow.
"Well I- Uh!" Ruby stammered a bit with an embarrassed blush. "It was...an accident?" Anthony looked at her with a knowing grin as his yellow eyes met her silver eyes. "...Yang wanted to use it to find any embarrassing secrets a few months ago for payback… After Drago called Jaune a worthless warrior."
"...Didn't see you and your sister the bully type." he teased.
"I was against it!" she said with a glare before it turned to a slight sadden frown. "But after reading some of it...we didn't want him to know what we read." Anthony stared at her for a moment before rubbing her head like a father would do with a little child.
"Well kid, knowing you, you are the most understanding and kind one in the entire school. Yang must be glad to have you as a sister." he smiled at her. "And a good girlfriend material for Dragonheart." gave a wink towards her. She blushed as she smiled and looked away.
"T-thank you." she said happily with her smile.
"...See you class tomorrow, Ruby." Anthony then turned to leave as he waved his goodbye away from Ruby with one hand. She waved back before she went back into her dorm with the Journal in hand. Ruby looked at the book she was holding and sighed deeply as she held it to her chest.
"I'm so glad I've met you." she said as she got dreamy eyes as she closed the door. Without noticing Cinder was peeking around the corner as she smiled evilly, and walked away.
