6:00 am

"Aaaaa!" woke Summer up.

"Aaaaa my hair!" brought Summer's attention onto the bathroom door.

"Raven," slowly turning the doorknob.

Entering, she saw a pissed off redheaded Raven.

"My hair turned red! I'm suing. No, this is Tai's doing. Him and Qrow…"

"Raven," brought Raven's attention Summer reading the label on the shampoo bottle, "did you use this bottle?"

"Yes!"

"This is my hair dye."

"You dye your hair?"

"Yes. I'm naturally dark headed. Black tends to be a boring color," noticing the fire burning red eyes of Raven focusing on her, "Would you like me to leave?"

"Yes."

Exiting the bathroom, a knock at gained Summer's attention.

Opening the door, "Guys, can you go ahead to breakfast without us?"

"What was that screaming?" asked Tai.

"Raven's having a crisis right now."

"Can we help?" asked Qrow.

"No. Just go ahead without us, "closing the door.

"Women think everything is a crisis," remarked Qrow.

"And they wonder why we ignore them," replied Tai.

They headed towards the cafeteria.

8:00 am - Glynda Goodwitch - Refresher Course

Sitting beside Raven, "That hunting cap clashes with your class uniform," remarked Tai.

She just stared at him.

"Yeah, sis," said Qrow, "It does."

"Miss Branwen, you're a first year student," brought their attention onto Glynda staring over the rim of her glasses, "Take that hat off."

"Yes, Miss Goodwitch," taking the hat off.

Noticing Raven's red hair, "Qrow, your sister found a color that matches her temperament."

"Shut up, Tai," remarked Raven, "Miss Goodwitch, is waiting for you two clowns to pay attention."

Tapping her scroll, "The Cross Continental Transmit System or simply CCTS, the communication technology that allows instantaneous multimedia wireless communication over large distances in Remnant.

Before the CCTS, long-distance communication relied on physical delivery which was at risk from Grimm and bandits. Communication between separate Kingdoms was difficult due to the constant threat of the Grimm and bandits since messages were delivered through physical means, such as railroad couriers.

Radio technology was used for short-range communications within the boundaries of the Kingdoms. In some cases, it's still used.

Numerous attempts to create a worldwide communication system were made like a network of space-based relay satellites, however this effort failed do to Dust losing its power when it leaves the atmosphere.

Atlas developed CCTS after the Great War giving the kingdoms the means to remain in contact. It functions wirelessly and transmitting to a wide variety of media like texts, visuals and audio evolving into an online web of information at one's fingertips.

In certain homes, public libraries and CCT centers use the CCTS to communicate with the other Kingdoms. The CCT center here in Beacon has dozens of computer terminals with holographic AI assistants.

Smaller devices like scrolls use the CCT to communicate instantaneously within kingdoms, however the signals become less reliable the farther one is from a CCT tower.

Four primary relay towers are located in each of the four Kingdoms. The first and largest of these towers is located in Atlas.

Should any one of them be taken offline for maintenance or fail for other reasons the entire system goes to smaller support towers located outside of the main cities of the Kingdoms like the one in Argus however they are often at risk from marauding Grimm. Their signal isn't as strong due to obstacles like trees and mountains being in the way.

Haven Academy features two identical CCT Towers that are shorter and stockier than the one here at Beacon.

Vacuo's support tower is situated in the settlement of Feldspar.

The settlement of Gossan had a tower until Grimm invaded the settlement."

9:45 am - Bartholomew Oobleck - History

"King Meng Huo of Xuthal, Queen Belit of Askalon, and King Bran Mak Morn of Caledon were the three rulers during the Three Kingdom Era of Remnant. They were at peace believing if they went war that would leave them weak for the remaining kingdom to pick up the pieces.

The trouble begin when a witch known as Salome visited King Meng Huo. Claiming to be immortality, she used an axe on herself. She promised him the hand of a Queen Belit. A lust filled king wanting a lust filled queen."

"Add fire," mumbled Raven.

"Salome gives him a magic tea kettle with a spider emblem. She then went to Queen Belit telling about King Meng Huo's plan. Belit had it stolen by three demon warriors given to her by Salome."

"Did it work?" asked Qrow, "The tea kettle."

"Belit used on an overweight female slave that got raped by one of the demon warriors. Salome went to Bran Mak Morn warning him about the two rulers forming an alliance to fight. The War of the Three Kingdoms began.

Three warriors, Zardoz, Jubei Hanzo, and the red headed Sonja Rogatino led a game of cat and mouse with the demon warriors over the tea kettle.

The war finally ended when the Brothers of Light and Darkness destroyed the warring kingdoms.

Yes, there were survivors.

Fairy tales, myths, and legends are based on some type of truth. Ignoring that doesn't make one smart just arrogant combined with ignorant."

11:15 am Peter Port - Grimm Studies

"Most of Remnant is unaware of the origins of Grimm," said Professor Port, "Ancient cultures believed the Grimm were animals possessed by evil spirits or even the tortured spirits of animals themselves. Urasi and beowulves are the common Grimm. Are they abominations of King Beowulf, the reason some Grimm are called beowulf or the clone of some creature that fell into a black goo to be absorbed.

There are records of human Grimm like the slayers that used by the Beast that brought the Great War to an end.

Further study has disproved this theory over time, however, due in part to the discovery of even more species of Grimm which have no animal counterparts, such as Creeps. With the discovery of new types of Grimm every day, scientists are left with more questions than answers. You will learn more in history class.

What is learned is Grimm come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The size does appear to be a factor of age along with thickness of the bone. Grimm may be born with less size, armor, spikes, etc. If grimm survives, bone covers the wound.

The longer a Grimm lives the larger it becomes with species like the beowolves growing from just over the size of an average man to massive behemoths that dwarf AK- 200s. The Grimm are more reckless and aggressive during their youth. Older Grimm who have managed to survive their battles have the tendency to learn from their experiences. While sometimes requiring hundreds of years, the Grimm's accumulated experiences over the course of surviving their battles with man can cause them to begin exercising caution.

This perverse form of self-preservation can even lead them to avoid unnecessary conflicts altogether. Yet, despite this ability to learn, their instinctual hostility still remains, as shown by their preference to patrol the borders of Kingdoms for any weaknesses they might someday exploit. This demonstrates that for all their apparent intelligence, older Grimm simply use it as a means to become more effective in their singular drive and purpose of killing.

It seems they have no souls, thus being deprived of the use of Aura. They do make up for this with strength, durability and savagery.

Some Grimm proved to have special abilities such as possession or usage of lightning and fire. Grimm are attracted to negative feelings such as sadness, hostility, anger and fear, and even congregate in areas that humans has long since abandoned that still hold residual traces of these feelings.

This behavior will even lead to them to join in on an attack in progress if the humans being attacked begin to panic. Grimm typically form packs or other types of large groupings with other members of their own specific species. While some lone Grimm may stray from the pack for hours or even months, they will inevitably rejoin their group to continue their instinctive drive to hunt the people of Remnant and destroy any artificial creations associated with them.

Grimm displayed no enmity towards normal animals, and they only clash during territorial disputes. Humans and Faunus are the only races they attack on sight. Grimm can also choose not to eat, and it is commonly believed that they do not require sustenance. When a Grimm dies, they evaporate preventing detailed anatomical or biological studies. This also means that Huntsmen that kill for sport cannot stuff and mount Grimm bodies as trophies, making replicas instead.

An interesting note is that Grimm usually die off when in captivity if they cannot kill their captors or escape first implying that they cannot be kept alive by normal means which been proven wrong. It seems red sap can prolong their life for several days enough for Professors like me to use them in class.

The cold climate in Solitas proved to be inhospitable for the Grimm for a very long time. Over time, it seems the Creatures of Grimm have adapted to the cold of Solitas. The Grimm are adapting at a supernaturally faster rate, leading many to wonder what caused this change.

Grimm has a tar-like interior underneath their skin, which can splash into things as if it were blood before dissipating into smoke."

12:30 pm – Lunch dining hall

"That's worrisome," said Tai twisting his fork to gather spaghetti noodles.

"What's worrisome?" asked Raven chewing on her grilled chicken salad.

"Team MSTR, not seen them in awhile."

"Heard they got assigned to the piss and poop patrol," said Summer stuffing chili fires into her mouth.

"Then someone," leaning forward, "needs to talk with Miss Goodwitch," staring in Summer's direction.

Noticing both Raven and Tai were staring in her direction, "I don't know her every well."

"They're not staring at you," replied Qrow staring at his coffee.

"Exactly what have you been doing after hours with her."

"Summer, it's not what you think."

"And what do I think?"

"Summer," said Raven, "we're asking Qrow to ask Miss Goodwitch what's her connection with Team MSTER especially Molay."

"If that's only what he is asking about," replied Summer, "then I don't have a problem."

1:30 pm - Thumbelina Peach - Plant Science. Instructed First Year students to fill a jar of red sap from the trees of Forever Fall.

"Mr. Branwen," remarked Professor Peach, "you're my next victim."

Shrugging his shoulders, Qrow joined with Professor Peach at the display table.

"What sap will you torment with me?" asked Qrow.

Smiling, "The yellow sap."

"What does it do?"

"Don't know," placing spoonful of yellow sap near Qrow's mouth.

Slapping Qrow's stomach allowed Peach to shove the spoon into his mouth.

Wincing, Qrow relaxed.

"I feel fine."

His fingers began shaking. His feet rapidly pounded against the floor. He sped out of the room with Summer chasing after him.

"A little too much," remarked Peach.

2:15 pm - Ann Greene - Stealth and Security

Leaning close to Tai, "She's up to something," whispered Raven.

"You think," whispered Tai.

"Key to security is expected the unexpected," said Professor Greene, "Your enemy will time on their side," slapping her desk.

Up went the students then they turned upside. Couple students landed on their desk.

Staring at those that landed on their feet, "Nice reflexes," she replied with a grin.

4 pm - Class - Harold Mulberry - Weapon Crafting and Upkeep

"Today, the importance of armor. Yes, with aura you may feel invincible until it gets depleted. Armor should be your second option. Those with skill wear less armor. Although those wanting attention will properly wear as little armor as possible. Heavy armor will train your body to carry heavy loads," noticing Raven's metal sword, "Miss Branwen, join me."

Raven did.

Checking her sword, "It's dull."

"I understand that's only way I can carry it as long it doesn't slice."

"True," handing the sword back, "Now, I'll put this armor now," which he did, "Now hit me as hard as you can."

Shrugging her shoulders, she swung sending him across the room.

5 pm - Courtyard

"Miss Goodwitch," said Qrow catching up with Glynda, "can I ask you a question?"

Stopping, "You can ask," said Glynda turning to face Qrow, "doesn't mean I have to answer."

"What's your connection with Team MSTR, namely Molay Imbert?"

"Just because we share Mantle as a place of birth doesn't mean there's a deeper connection."

"What did they mean about your reputation?"

"So you did witness more of the events leading to your rescue," sighing, "Molay is an Imbert. That should lead to some answers."

She continued her walk.

Hanging upside down from a lamp post, "She's plays her card to her chest," said Tai.

Appearing beside Tai, "Qrow likes to be those cards," said the upside down Raven.

Shifting his eyes upwards, "Least she knows to wear a combat skirt."

Realizing her skirt was covering her stomach not her thighs, she slammed the flat side of her sword against Tai's stomach. Slipping off the lamp post, Tai's hand caught the waist band of Raven's skirt causing her to fall on top of Tai.

Discovering her head between Tai's legs, she peeked over her shoulder to notice Tai's head between her legs. Trying to slam her knees against Tai's skull only for his hands to catch her knees, he pushed upwards sending her over onto her back.

Her back rested on Tai's chest. Sending her elbows against Tai's ribs, Tai's hands slapped her breasts. Scrambling off Tai, Raven swung her sword at the prone Tai only for him to block her attempts.

Leaving Tai and Raven to their flirting, Qrow found Summer sitting on a bench practicing her yoyo tricks.

"You're mad at me," said Qrow sitting beside Summer.

"No, trying to understand why Miss Goodwitch holds your attention."

Staring at his feet, "I'm still a young man."

"Thinking with his brain between his legs not the one on his neck."

"You're trying to make this difficult, aren't you?"

"I'm starting to understand your sister."

Getting up, she headed towards the dorm.

Sighing, Qrow witnessed Tai using the lamp post as stepping stones.

"See you at the library!" yelled Tai.

Chasing after Tai was an enlarged Raven.

Some guys have all the luck.

6 pm – Library

Sitting at a table in the library, Qrow sat beside Raven with Tai across from them staring at their scrolls.

"It seems Glynda was in the Altas military," said Qrow, "She made it to Captain."

"The Imbert family was ruined by the Dust War," said Raven, "and the stealing of Balnibarbi Island that became Altas," looking at Tai, "so what's the connection?"

"Miss Goodwitch's legs are better than yours," remarked Tai.

Blocking Raven's kick, Tai's foot struck her shin.

7 pm - Dorms

Rubbing lotion on her shins, "Damn, Tai's foot," mumbled Raven.

Doing a gyroscopic flop, "Should've been wearing shin guards," said Summer.

"A sword woman doesn't need shin guards."

"Then you've not been paying attention in Mulberry's class, or your research into your outfit or weapon."

"You've been reading my scroll."

"Yes, that section on Tai was interesting. Oh, the muscles of his back. How my fingers would trace the contours of his back. His fingers to 'what was that word you used?'"

Getting hit with a pillow, Summer tried hiding under the sheets only to get pulled onto the floor by her ankles. Pouncing, Raven gripped Summer's neck.

Shaking Summer, "I'll teach you going through my scroll," slapping Summer with a pillow.

"Help me. Help me," laughed Summer, "My roommate went crazy,"

Sulking away, Raven rested her back against the bed frame while hugging the pillow.

"Raven," crawling towards her, "don't be that way," hugging her, "For someone who swings a sword, you got glass feelings."

"I don't have glass feelings," avoiding Summer's eye contact, "I don't like being teased."

"Is it Qrow's fault? I will tie him to my bed and torture him for his transgresses against you."

"And this planned torture is?"

"Feeding him pizza."

Holding an imagined slice of pizza above her mouth, Summer's hand pulled it away before she could get a bite.

"See," looking at Raven, "You and Tai?"

"I'm not ready for a romance. We're just sparring partners."

"Whose back do you fantasize about?"

There went the pillow against Summer's face.
