Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Fight or Flight. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.

(Vale.)

Maize continued to pick at his food, unsure of what to think. He hummed and looked at Raven as he twirled a strand of spaghetti around his fork.

"You know picking at your food isn't going to make it go away any faster." Raven joked as she shoveled more bread into her face. Maize was amused by how fast the Mistral warrior ate.

Then again? Considering how their team consisted of one member from each of the 4 kingdoms? It hardly surprised him that she ate differently than him.

"To be entirely fair? I'm just thinking about our next message. I mean, the first one is already going to be in the scrapbook." Sal rolled his eyes at his teammate with amusement.

"Yes, the team RUST scrapbook… I can see it now." Maize heard from the Atlesian and chuckled.

"I didn't think Atlesians had a sense of humor. You got my respect a little more every day." Maize stated as he continued to eat.

"He does have a point, does anyone know what today's mission is supposed to be? Professor Ozpin said he'd forward the messages to our scrolls at noon, I haven't gotten anything yet." Maize saw Tai take a bite of his sandwich as he shrugged and wiped his mouth off.

"We can ask him at the end of the day… we still haven't told him what happened on our missions." Maize stated as he put more parmesan cheese on his food and turned to get his scroll out of his pocket.

"Goodwitch already told him, I thought." Raven wiped her face off with amusement as Maize rolled his eyes.

"You're eating the bread like it's smoked ham, you want to relax, lady laido?" Raven ignored the jab at her ego and smiled.

"Yeah, like the cowboy has any room to talk." Raven got a small smirk from Maize as he pointed his fork at you.

"Careful, gentleman, she's adapting." Maize stated as Raven made a hand gesture that wouldn't sound pleasant.

Maize hummed and rolled his eyes before fanning with a smile pulling at his lips with enjoyment.

Maize also noticed his scroll ring before looking at it and noticing all the scrolls within the room were ringing. He blinked with confusion before looking at them as well.

Did Ozpin decide the end of lunch, the period before all students returned to their rooms to message them? Raven looked at her Scroll as well.

He blinked, it was official, their headmaster didn't make any sense at all… then again? He hadn't been at an academy before.

He cracked his neck and sighed as the bell rang and the group was dismissed to go back to their dorm.

Raven turned to look at Summer who waved at her, she smiled for a second before turning and walking away with the rest of her group.

Maize continued reading over the message, they were assigned to guard a politician from a group of White Fang soldiers. He blinked and turned to look at Sal.

Sal returned his look and hummed with annoyance. he cracked his knuckles and looked at the wall.

"Rave?" Maize asked, referring to the nickname he used for his leader whenever he was trying to be serious.

"Yeah?" Tai opened the door for her as Maize handed his scroll to the samurai, confused on why they had another super important message.

Seriously? He looked to Tai and rubbed at his temples before Raven blinked and turned the scroll back over to him.

"Ozpin and these super dangerous missions. He's either testing us, or he's crazy…. Or he just enjoys seeing us fight." Maize heard from Raven.

Maize shrugged and put his scroll back in his pocket as he sat on his bed.

Another serious mission meant a lot more than what they thought it would be. Still, after their fight with Tock? Maize was glad to have a more laid-back mission.

Yes, he considered fighting Faunus terrorists to be a more laid-back mission considering he had nearly died last mission.

Besides? He had fought worse, it would be time to bring a little justice back to Vale, this would help do that one way or another hopefully.

It also didn't help that Tock could and still probably was lurking around somewhere, waiting for them like a hungry Blind Worm in the sand, eager to feast on anything she could get her teeth on.

He leaned back on his bed as Raven went to go get changed into her pajamas and study the mission RUST had gotten.

Little did they know they weren't the only team going on the mission, something that Raven would have an issue with.

"I'm taking a shower if anyone is going to use it sooner or later." Maize heard from Raven as he waved it off and tried to get some sleep.

Author notes

The next chapter is going to be in a week and will end up showing RUST heading to bodyguard the politician and make sure things are fine. until then, Lighting Wolf out!
