Nexus: Nexus never felt that Professor Port taught his class in the traditional sense of teaching, he told them stories of his youth as a huntsman and those would usually take up the classes time instead of teaching them the curriculum, yet as Vanir had pointed out "The lesson is in the story somehow, you just have to be able to see it." Though usually the lesson was in fact something that the three of them already knew, it didn't help them to be experienced in combat like they were at times like that.
Port was once again going through a story about his youth and how he had hunted a beowolf, Rennic Arcadius and Torque Rouge, two of his teammates were sitting next to Nexus, and they like him had largely given up on paying attention to Port and were instead working on assignments from other classes, Port would always assume the three of the were taking notes, in fact out of the seven third years in his class only Vanir was really paying attention to the man.
Nexus felt someone poke his side and noticed Torque handing him a piece of paper before moving his head towards the person who passed it to him, a young girl in a red hood, Ruby Rose. Nexus looked at the note and saw a drawing of Vanir, whose ears were up as Port kept talking, most other students didn't have his attention span when it came to these things so Nexus knew he wouldn't have to worry about him noticing some notes being passed about him.
"Let's have our teams get together after class, Mithril is coming back today right?" The note read, Nexus smiled before quickly writing a response to her. "Yeah, though she may want some time alone with Vanir first." He folded his note up and had it quickly sent to Ruby, a moment later the small girl smiled and nodded to him. Before anymore notes could be passed Port finally turned his attention back to his students and motioned to the cage that was shaking violently, Nexus knew what was inside of it and was more than a little concerned about how the hell Port captured it and kept it alive long enough to have someone crazy enough to fight it.
"Is there anyone brave enough to show us the skill required to hunt the creatures of Grimm?" Port asked in his usual over the top fashion, no one raised their hands, even Nexus felt himself to be concerned about fighting a Grimm of that size in such a small area. "Seems like no one else will so why not?" Vanir said suddenly, catching Nexus by surprise, he was about to raise his hand and volunteer before Vanir beat him to it, and to be honest he didn't really want to fight right now.
Vanir Argent: Vanir had left the room to get his gear and returned only to find the other students were all crammed into the two three rows of the room, clearly concerned that they may get hurt, the only ones who hadn't gone up where his team and the rest of MNTR.
Vanir turned his attention from the students to the cage, he knew from the size alone that this one was bigger than normal and from the smell he could tell it was pissed, most likely at the fat man who smelled of cabbage and pride. "Damn, I'm already feeling the adrenalin." He thought to himself as he unsheathed Gram and nodded to Port, who raised his axe to cut the lock Vanir knew that trying to use a stance would result in injury so he only made ready to dodge the Grimms first attack.
Vanir slowed his breathing, feeling his heartbeat slow and even being able to hear his blood flowing from his veins, time seemed to slow as his semblance activated on it's own, he knew his eyes had turned yellow and he was going along with it for now, a few moments passed and Port cut the lock, the Grimm charged out of the cage and Vanir dodged to the right, using the Hades to quickly regain his footing before swinging his weapon at the Beowolf, only to bounce off the thickened bone plates.
"Damn, gonna have to find a way to get past them then." Vanir thought as he and the Grimm began to circle each other, time had begun to flow normally for him again and now he was looking for a way past the armor, the Grimm knew that rushing him would result in it's own weight being used against it apparently as it hadn't charged him yet, and Vanir couldn't slice through it's plates just yet, not until he was able to get back to one hundred percent strength anyway.
The Beowolf lunged forward, aiming to bite Vanir in the arm, Vanir jumped to the side and aimed a slash for the Grimms right arm, he had noticed a small gap in the armor, it was all he had to work with for now but it would work, a moment later the Beowolf was howling in pain as it watched it's arm fall to the floor and turn to smoke. "That's right you bastard, hows that steel?" Vanir said out loud, trying to keep its attention firmly on him, and piss it off enough for it to charge him again.
The Beowolf launched a flurry of attacks with it's single arm and both legs, forcing Vanir back for a few seconds before he noticed another gap in the armor, on the same spot of the other arm, as well as two on the legs. "Small gaps meant to allow for movement while keeping a fair amount of protection, interesting." Vanir thought to himself before rolling out of the way and quickly jumping up before cutting the other arm off and then aiming for a leg, the Beowolf fell to the ground since it could no longer support it's weight, Vanir walked up to it and ran Gram through it's skull, leaving several fractures in the floor after.
"Well done Mr. Argent, once again you've shown the skill required to be a huntsman." Port said to Vanir, drawing him out the high that he felt from killing a tough opponent, sure killing a couple hundred Grimm made him feel good, but killing something that was bigger and harder to kill made him feel like he just took a highly addictive drug, or a shot of deathstalker venom. "Thank you sir, is it alright if I go get a drink? Wash the taste of metal from my mouth?" Vanir replied, that wasn't a lie, the fight had also left him somewhat parched and tasting metal, most Grimm didn't give him so much trouble, aside from a Nucklavee or a Goliath.
"Of course, Mr. Argent, you may do so, the rest of you may talk quietly or focus on homework from other classes for the remainder of the hour." Port said, he was happy to see one of his prized students again today, Vanir sheathed Gram and walked to the door, licking the inside of his mouth all the while as well. He noticed a girl in a red hood waving at him, and saw Ruby sitting with the other members of her team, strange that they had all met members of each other's teams last night, but not the full groups at once. Vanir smiled and waved back before turning and leaving the room, perfectly aware of the four others getting up to follow him.
