The halls were filled with idle chatter and students going about their day at Beacon. Students at their lockers gathering their needed supplies and books or talking with their friends. Others were polishing their intricately made weapons that seemed like they came out of a story book. They looked and acted so surreal that Torvi would of laughed at the idea of these weapons if she didn't see them in person. Seeing the weapons made her feel a bit envious. She lost her dagger and hatchet in her last battle and was only relying on her hands. Oh how she missed the feel of a weapon in her hands.
She looked ahead at team RWBY who were leading her to their first class. They and she too hadn't talked since leaving the dorms. The tension was still there, especially between Blake and Torvi. Why is she still mad? She already said sorry. She should have forgiven her now. Isn't that how things work?
Blake looks over her shoulder to look at Torvi behind her. She had her hands in the pockets of her jacket and looking around at the other students. She thought back to what happened earlier.
'That was so patronizing' thought the faunus. The first time she could forgive. She probably didn't have an understanding of faunus and could understand her wonderment, but the second time...
It felt like she was being looked down on like she was a house cat. She was treated like a creature of wonder and not a person.
She shakes her head and looked back in front of her. Torvi notices the head movement and narrows her eyes at the cat faunus. By the gods, did she not like how she spoke to her.
They all come to a classroom door and go through it. In the front was the white board with a teacher desk by it with many books and papers stacked upon it. In front of the board were the student desks. There were stairs in between them leading to the upper desk behind the front bunch of desks. There were already students sitting, waiting for class to start and for the teacher to arrive.
Team RWBY took their seats to the second row behind the first. Torvi followed and sat next to Ruby.
It took a few minutes for the rest of the class to gather and then the bell rung, indicating the start of the school day. The door of the classroom suddenly blast opens after a green blur comes through it. The blur stops in the middle of the floor at the front. Torvi looks at the blur to find a man with unruly green hair and large glasses perched on him. His attire consisted of a white dress shirt with yellow tie around his neck and dark green dress pants.
"Good morning to you all my students!" said the man. He sounded high or hyper. Maybe both.
"Today we have a new student joining us for the school!" he then turns to Torvi. "Introduce yourself young lady!"
Torvi looks around the classroom and notices all eyes on her. She stands up and waves at them before sitting back down.
There was silence. Everyone but team RWBY wanted to know her name so that class can proceed.
"Ummm... young lady, can you say your name!" The man, clearly the teacher said to the shaman. Torvi let out a long 'oh' before standing back up.
She coughs a few times before saying her name.
"My... na-name... is Torvi Birgerdottir" She said with her broken speech.
Most of the class started whispering after Torvi introduced herself in her broken English but shrugged it off, concluding that the fact was-for the most part-irrelevant. Some did question her being at the school.
One of them was sitting away from the group of girls. The student was male and was large and tall. He had brown hair in a clean cut and a look in his eye that spoke trouble. This was Cardin Winchester.
The leader of team CRDL observed the new girl and narrowed his eyes. Everything about her screamed that she didn't belong here, down from her speech, the way she slumped on her desk, and how she stared at her lap playing on her scroll.
Cardin was by no means a perfect student. Hell, one might consider him a terrible student but at the very least, he gives a little damn about school. This girl, Torvi? She's acting like she isn't even in a classroom.
He shakes his head and sighs aggravated.
Torvi played with her scroll while Oobleck gave a speedy and lengthy lecture/lesson. She was currently exploring a whole new territory: the internet! She found that there are A LOT of stuff in the internet like online shopping, news articles, and funny videos of cats.
Ha!
HaHa!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
"HAHAHAHAH!" she laughed aloud. Everyone turned their heads to her but she was still watching to care. That changed when Oobleck took her scroll and told her she'll get it back after class. She pouted and they all go back to the lesson. Cardin grinds his teeth and looks at her disapprovingly.
The class continued on with no more interruptions and as usually, the students are overwhelmed by the mountain of info and classwork Oobleck gave them. But not Torvi.
She listened little and was given little. Only to read chapter one of the history book for homework.
Cardin and everyone sees this and starts protesting and complaining about the SEVERE lack and severity of work that was given to the new girl. The only ones that weren't complaining were team RWBY and JNPR though they were just questioning in their heads.
"What the hell Teach?!"
"Why is she let off easy?"
"I get she's the new girl, but that work is SO little!"
"Children, calm yourselves right now!" Oobleck suddenly burst out.
All quiet and await their teacher's answer. Oobleck then points his hand towards Torvi who was looking around the room, confused.
"Ms. Birgerdottir here is getting less work because 1). she is new and 2). she is... mentally challenged"
The class seemingly took Oobleck's answer well enough. They were the most part content with it, only questioning how she got into Beacon slightly, but Cardin only became pissed. Oobleck walks up to Torvi and gives her back her phone. "Please do make sure to not use it during class again Ms. Birgerdottir" and with that, he speeds back to his desk and begins working on papers and grades.
"Lucky" Yang muttered. Ruby heard her and saw her gaze was in Torvi's direction. She was on her scroll again was going to walk into the wall next to the door. Ruby used her semblance to stop her before she collided.
"Hey there Torvi!" she says next to her with her hand on her shoulder. Torvi snaps to her before looking back to see rose petals on the ground.
'Strange' she thought. 'How is she doing that?'
"Hey, our next class up next. Come with us" Ruby offered with a friendly smile.
The shaman returns the smile and nods. Ruby nods at her team to follow and they do albeit a little slowly.
They are walking to their next class, Grimm studies with Professor Port and Ruby thought it would be a good idea to learn more about Torvi, seeing that they don't know much and hoped it would calm the tensions between Torvi and Blake.
"Soooo... where you from Torvi?" asked Ruby.
Torvi turns off the scroll and looks down at its compact form in thinking.
We shouldn't tell her. She would think of us as CRAZIER
Well... this world is big. We can saw we come from a town called Valkenheim.
What if she should research?
...Fuck
"Um...in the forest" she said. It wasn't really a lie. She did live in the woods, far off from her village.
Team RWBY were not surprised by her answer.
"Okay, but where?" Ruby added.
"Here" Torvi said simply.
Ruby frown. She felt like she was hiding things from her and she didn't like that feeling.
"Ruby. Look, it's clear she doesn't want to talk about her place of origins. Though I wonder why.." Weiss said muttering the last part, suspiciously.
Ruby sighs in disappointment. "Okay"
Yang and Blake walked behind them, hearing the encounter and also finding her insistent of not talking about herself suspicious.
Torvi looks at Ruby and the group and felt bad about keeping her secret a secret. They have been patient with her so far so... it won't hurt to share one thing about herself to them.
"I ...am shaman" she said to them. They look to her confused and surprised.
"A shaman? You mean like a person of healing?" Blake said in disbelief. This girl is in charge of healing people? That is very, very strange and hard to believe.
"Rituals too" Torvi added.
"Ironic if you think back to last night. You're one epic shaman Torvi" Yang said.
Torvi looks back at her with a proud smirk on her face.
They arrive at Professor Port's room and enter. They take their seats at their usual spots with the exception of Torvi sitting by team RWBY. Port enters shortly before the bells rings and the class begins.
"Good morning students!" He says cheerfully. "Before we begin, I'd like to introduce our new student here, Torvi Birgerdottir!"
Torvi stands and waves. She recognizes some familiar faces like those of team JNPR but there were more new faces than old.
"You know Torvi, you remind me of an old compatriot back when I was a young lad. I..." He started telling a tale. He talked. And talked. And talked some more. By the gods...
He
is
so
BORINGGGGGGG
Torvi put her elbow on the desk and fest her head on it. This was going to be a long one.
After Port finished his tale, he began to teach. He taught about the Grimm, the different variants of Grimm, their features, nature, etc. Torvi actually found the information really engaging as she prides herself on being a great hunter. And great hunters know their prey.
Torvi thought the Grimm to be interesting prey since the first time she saw them. They were different than normal animals and were much stronger. She will enjoy killing such strong prey. Though... her favorite prey would be and always be other humans. They fight back in ways animals don't and can prove much slippery and clever, making them much more interesting.
After Grimm studies, the next few classes were... interesting.
Next came English class where she was severely lacking. She spoke basic English but it was broken and filled with gapes. She also didn't know how to read or write anything but her name, something she was never taught as a shaman. When her teacher heard this, the poor woman almost came close to fainting.
Math was next and the hardest of all. All those numbers and equations...
Next was surprising-cooking. She was actually pretty good at cooking, surprising everyone but mostly team RWBY. Weiss was shocked when she found that her cookies paled in comparison to Torvi's.
The last class came and it immediately looked like that it would be her favorite.
Combat class with Ms. Glynda Goodwitch.
She saw the ring and jumped in but Glynda caught her, stopping her.
"Ms. Birgerdottir, Before entering the ring, you have to go to the locker rooms, and prepare your combat gear and weapons"
'Oh. Makes sense' thought Torvi. She looked at herself and saw that she was far from combat ready in her school girl uniform.
Glynda float her to the lady's changing room and then floated her leather gear from last night. She takes it and enters to find female students changing. She did not bat an eye at this. She started to strip in the middle of the room but then was stopped by Glynda once again. She floated her to her locker that was already open next to Ruby's locker.
She saw the metal box that was the locker and stared in confusion and awe. Ruby saw this and decided to help her out.
"Looks complicated, I know, but just put your stuff in there and lock it with the keypad here. You can make your own combo too"
The shaman nods at the red reaper and starts to strip down. There was one thing though...
Torvi always went commando.
As soon as her clothes were off, there was no bra and panties underneath to cover the shaman's assets. Just bare skin. Ruby looked back to her to check up and gave a short surprised scream.
"T-Torvi! Where is your underwear?! Where is your decency?!"
The girl in question simply just looked at her in confusion before looking down on her. After accessing that nothing was wrong, she started unfolding her gear.
"Don't ignore this!" Ruby exclaimed blushing. Without thinking, she took out one of her spares and put it on her and hooking the back.
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Decency, achie-"
A ripping noise was then heard and when Ruby looked she saw that the bra she put on Torvi ripped at the cleavage.
"Oh"
Torvi gave Ruby an annoyed look before saying two word to her, shattering her female pride.
"Too...small"
"Here. I got this". Yang stepped in, half way dress with her underwear in hand. She puts it on and then realizes her error. It was too big.
Torvi cups the breast cups and giggles. "hehe...Busty"
"You both are dunces. She clearly my size" Weiss says removing Yang's bra and replaces it with her own. Torvi moves around but found that the heiress's garment was tight as well.
"Too...small" she bluntly said. Weiss just stood there flustered and stuttering.
"I-I-I am n-not..." the heiress sounded so defeated.
Blake gave a sideways glance toward them and sighed before taking out her only spare pair of panties and bra: the white kitten set.
She moves past her teammates and dresses the shaman in the set and stepped back.
Torvi stared at the underwear before giving Blake a humorous smirk. Blake maintains her stoic expression with the exception of a faint blush on her face. Torvi moves around and find that she can move comfortably. Though she like the freedom and feeling of no underwear, this pair might change her mind.
"There. Done. Now all of you get finished changing" Blake said simply. They nod but not before looking at her questioningly.
Torvi moves over to the cat faunus and pats her back. Blake looks at her to see a smile on her face.
"Thank-". She then coughs a few times. "Thank...you".
Blake just nods at her before Torvi whispers in her ear. "Can... Can I...t-touch...your ears?"
The cat faunus blushes intensely. "L-Later!" she whispers back.
Torvi nods happily and returns back to changing. Blake does so too but also thinks back to Torvi. She appreciated that she asked before touching and that she did it in a respectful way. She looks at Torvi and thinks only one thing.
'She is so strange'
