Sorry for my bad English.
I wish to see some of Glynda in the rescent volume, even knowing that will take some time before she is introduced again in the show. I saying this because I want to see some more of her character besides what was show.
With only what was presented, the authors have to make their own description about how she would deal with the problems around her. Some times they make her be way more compreesible than I think she would normally be, which bothers me a little, specially if it involves Jaune's transcription. Some also uses her as a counselour, which I find hard to believe, and makes her solve some problems her students have regarding their lives as teenagers. It is a little hard to work with so little of her true character, making me work with what I have and improvise a little.
Enough said, to the fic!
Vale
Public Swimming Pool
Glynda did not remember the last time she was not working.
She was known to be a workaholic woman, never stopping her work no matter what, and for good reason. She is a huntress, and she must be always prepared for battle and this was something she decides to do during her suspension. Unfortunately, she did not find the will to do so.
With not wanting to leave Vale for a job, she decides to try clean her mind, and the best way she knew how to do it is by swimming. Yet she went under the water for a couple of minutes before leave and sit down in the nearest bench. Every time she thought about get a job as a huntress, Unicorn's words popped in her mind, remembering her about the problems in her teaching, and from her co-workers.
Her brilliant solution was not so brilliant as she thought.
Instead of making her feel powerless, Unicorn makes Glynda feel angry and use more force in her semblance than she meant to, resulting with her, a teacher, knocking down Unicorn, her student. The guilty of her actions was plaguing her mind since the day she was suspended from work. The worst of all is that Unicorn's reason to act like a rebel girl was not for arrogance.
This makes Glynda wonder, if arrogance is not her problem so what is?
She has some quarrel with the professors? No, she doubts that Unicorn was in some moment in good terms with any teacher in Beacon.
Was her teammates? No, she may have Koro as a teammate and he can be quite difficult to deal with it but just one teammate would not make someone act like Unicorn.
May is Beacon? Would she rather be studying in Atlas? No, if she was in Atlas the situation with the professors would be worst.
Every time she thought about it, she could not find the answer for that.
Without the mood for swim, she went to the locker room and changes back to her casual attire, a sleeveless button shirt, a black skirt and brown boots. As she left the place, her eyes immediately focused in Beacon.
It was impossible to be in Vale without notices the school. This made Glynda wonder how her co-workers are doing with Unicorn, after everything she spoke without knowing they were near.
Thinking in Beacon and her co-workers makes Glynda remember about an certainly day, the only day she spoke with Unicorn and she not ended with an headache.
Beacon
Courtyard
The morning in the academy was surprisingly calm, yet did not stop Glynda from take a walk and look for any type of troublemaker. While walking she notices a familiar figure with sunglasses and a cane in his hand.
-Good morning Fernando. –She greeted her co-worker.
-Good morning.
-What are you doing here so early?
-Just cleaning my mind a little. Going on patrols?
-Yes. You would be surprise with how much… -Glynda's words were cut by the sound of a guitar being played. The blonde looks to the direction where the music was coming and sees Unicorn playing her weapon while sitting below a tree. –Ms. Unicorn. –Glynda called making the young girl stop playing and looks at her. –It is a little early for music. Could you please do it later?
Unicorn looks at her teacher for a moment before get up and put her guitar in her back, and left the place. Glynda was confused for a moment, expecting a sarcastic comment or disobedience.
-Strange. –Fernando spoke. –She usually doesn't obey this easily.
-So you notice too. –Glynda said before let a long sigh.-I wish she was more like that.
-We can, we just need to figure out why is she like that.
-But her sister was so behaved. Why she must be so different?
-We can't force her to be what she not wants to.
-I don't remember asking for one of your advice. –Glynda said sounding a little bothered.
-I give advices to anyone. Be a teacher or a student.
-So give me an advice when I ask for, which I assume to you, will not happen.
And with that, Glynda left the blind man alone.
She did not wanted any advice, neither his help simple because not matter what was the problem, Glynda could solve by herself. The idea of receive the idea of someone else regarding her competence as a teacher makes her feel a bit inadequate.
But anything she tried failed miserably. She did not know anymore what to do. With her hand heavier than usual, she tapped her scroll to contact professor Peach, asking her to give to one of her co-workers a message.
Ice tea was Glynda's favorite drink.
Almost all days since she discovered this bar, she went there after work for some ice tea, being the second thing what helped her calm her nerves. While drinking the drink through a straw, she heard the familiar sound of a cane hitting the floor alerting her about the blind teacher of Beacon.
Fernando was hired to teach about laws involving weapons, giving his history in the military he was quite expert in the subject. A couple of weeks after he was hired as a teacher, Glynda found herself enjoying the samurai's company. She was surprised to see the man in the same bar and drinking the same drink which was her favorite. Since then, time from time they went together to the bar for some ice tea.
This made Glynda be often teased by the other teachers, and even Ozpin, about her relationship with the blind man, making her always says, with a faint blush in her cheeks, they relationship was just professional and they were nothing more than co-workers.
Fernando sits by her side and without say a word he got an ice tea from the bartender.
-I was surprise with what Peach told me. –Fernando spoke.
-How is Unicorn? -Glynda asked.
-She still is not allowed in the combat class, which Port replacing you for the time being. –Fernando went silent for a moment before ask. –So what you want to talk with me?
-I… put some thought about your offer for… advice. –Glynda didn't need to look to Fernando to see that he was actually surprised. –After my… last attempt to deal with Unicorn proved to be fruitless, I hit a dead end in what to do.
-And you want my help to see if can help you deal with her.
-It is not only me. Port and Oobleck are almost losing their minds. –Glynda said and finally looks to Fernando. –I asking you this not as your friend, your co-worker, not you as a professor, but as a counselor. Fernando, what do I do?
Fernando thought for a moment before speak.
-You will have to do everything I say, I am clear?
-Yes. –Glynda answers without wait a second.
-Good. I hope this time away from the school was able to chill out your nerves, because you will have to have some words with Unicorn tomorrow.
At the moment, Glynda's eyes widened in surprise. She will have to talk with Unicorn? She knew she would have to do it soon or later once she is back to work, but why so soon?
End of the chapter.
I still putting some thoughts about if I going to end this story after the trouble is solved or keep going with a different plot. This will depend in how I will end of course.
See you next time.
