"Do you know how to train me to use my eyes?"

...

"Pardon?"

"My silver eyes? The Grimm killing kind?"

Ozpin sighs at that.

"Should've known you'd know about that. To answer your question, I can only teach the basics of how to unlock your power as I do not possess much knowledge beyond that."

Chris grins at that.

"Anything is better than nothing. These babies will come in reeeeeeeal handy when Cinder tries to invade the town with Grimm. Once I kill Cinder, Amber will probably wake up so don't try and offer anyone else her powers please Oz."

Ozpin just shakes his head at that with a hint of a smile.

"Once Amber has her full Maiden powers again, she will wake up. I'm sure of it."

Chris nods at that.

"If Cinder manages to get the full powers of a Maiden, please don't fight her alone like a dumbass. You'll die immediately, so call me in for backup."

"Noted." Ozpin chuckles.

"Now, can we get back to the silver eyes thing? All I know is that it's basically the power of friendship kills bad monsters." Chris deadpans.

Ozpin nearly spills his coffee from laughter.

"While it's not... quite as simplistic as that, you aren't far off. It relies heavily on focusing positive emotion, like love and happiness, in order to completely harness the power necessary to destroy a Grimm. Unfortunately, the primary method to unlocking the power of silver eyes is trauma. Seeing a loved one die or be severely injured is the most common." Ozpin sounds a little bit saddened at that, considering the cost of such power is the loss of innocence.

Chris nods at that, expecting it.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to the ones I care about, so that option is out the window. What's the second option?"

"Well, it's not exactly a reliable option but sheer willpower to protect others can possibly unlock them. It will take a while though, be warned."

"If that's what it takes. Is there anywhere I can practice without being disturbed or seen?"

"Hmm... I do believe the basement where Amber is being kept should suffice?" Ozpin looks towards Chris for approval.

"Yeah... that's not a good idea. At all. You seem to forget that Cinder's team is following me around sometimes." Chris looks at Ozpin like he's stupid.

Ozpin coughs and turns away in embarrassment.

"In my defense... I forgot about that. There really isn't a spot on campus which will serve your purpose then, I'm sorry to say. Maybe I can arrange for you to accompany Qrow on a mission? I'll give you that before the dance so you can still attend." offering that instead.

"That should be fine. It's been a while since I could check up on the dusty bird anyway. Make sure wherever you send us is between Vale and Vacuo though, I have something I need to check on." Chris chuckles.

...

"By the way, did I mention I can teleport any place I've been before now?"

...

"What."

What indeed Oz.
