Sorry for my bad English.
Damn you mental block.
I really wanted to upload this sooner, but it came to a part where my mind did not know how to continue. This is happening a lot and I am worrying about that every fanficiton I am writing may take too much time to upload. I will try overcome this mental block but for know, stay with his chapter.
To the fic!
Beacon
Courtyard
With her suspension finally over, Glynda could finally go back to her job.
After a month doing almost nothing related to her work, she would be eager to go back to her duties, but was not the case this time.
This time, she wanted to see the fruits of her conversation with Unicorn a week ago. But first, she still needs to take care of something. Remembering about her talk with Unicorn in the infirmary, the first thing she did once in Beacon was go to Ozpin's office to make a demand, something she wanted to do once it happened.
And the headmaster knew with just one look to her face that she would not accept 'no' for an answer.
Corridors
Teams RWBY and JNPR were not having a good day.
The moment Glynda returned to her duties, they relieved to have their original combat teacher back, and see Port back to his own class, especially Nora who could snore again during class time.
But it was not like that.
The blonde teacher kicked the door of both teams and put them in the same type of detention she gave to Unicorn a month ago. Meaning they would have to exchange their weapons for brooms, mops, brushes, buckets, and water with soap.
-Why are we doing this again? -Yang asked as she cleaned the floor with a brush.
-Because of the mass both teams caused by playing with food. –Glynda answered.
-But the headmaster… -Ruby tried to speak.
-Let you all have your fun. Now it is time for you all pay for your actions!
-B-but the combat class… -Nora tried to speak but Glynda interrupted her again.
-It seems that today I will not have the pleasure to see both teams in the arena.
RWBY and JNPR groaned, thinking in what has got in Glynda to throw a punishment for their food fight after weeks later. Now they may still be children, but as such once they did something wrong, they need to be punished. For the destruction, for all the food they wasted, the destroyed tables, everything.
She watched both teams until professor Peach appeared to take Glynda's place in watching the teenagers. She needed to go to the combat class.
She was a bit hesitant. Even after talk with Unicorn about what she had against the professors, she felt a bit strange to meet with her rebellious student again. It was because Glynda was going to meet her not as just a woman but as her teacher, so Unicorn would meet her as her student.
But she was just nervous, not afraid. She had meets worse things in her career as both a huntress and a teacher. So there she was, in the middle of the arena, watching her students appearing one by one with exception of RWBY and JNPR, who probably were cleaning the entire cafeteria by now.
She scanned the crowd of teenagers, looking for the familiar pair of uninterested violet eyes of Unicorn. Her teammates appeared in the arena and she was the last one to enter.
The moment Unicorn look to the arena, her violet eyes immediately meet with Glynda's green eyes. The two of them didn't break eye contact for a couple of seconds and both ladies were surprised to not see any anger or bitterness in each other's eyes.
But Glynda knew that this would change after one single wrong word spoke. She remembers her agreement with Unicorn, and not only that but the other members of the staff would have to do the same.
After her talk she immediately contacted her co-workers in Beacon and spoke about her agreement with her student. Both Port and Oobleck still did not know what she meant by listening Unicorn, but if would end their problems with her, they would try.
And they did. Glynda discovered that before she went to the headmaster's office.
Opening the door slightly so no one can notice, Glynda gave a little peek in Port's class.
As usual, the mustachioed professor was in front of everyone, speaking as if was in front of an audience.
-Just look at those big teeth! –Port spoke showing the draw of an alligator grimm.-Those jaws can easily break someone's bone. I remember when I almost lose one limb when I meet one of those. It was a night darker than usual and the only noises I was able to hear were… -For some reason, he stopped his tale and coughed before talk back to the matter in hand. –It is better to let this tale to another day. Where I was? Oh yes, his sharp teeth…
Glynda was surprised, because once Port started with one of his tales was hard for him to stop, especially himself stops talking.
Glynda was about to open the door of Oobleck's class when suddenly, the green haired doctor pushed the doors open, running in high speed to an unknown direction. Glynda didn't have a door slammed in her face thanks to her semblance.
Seeing the students leaving, she was about to ask what got in Oobleck when she heard them talk.
- Geez, if he wanted to run so badly, why he didn't? –A male student asked.
- He's been like this for a while now. –A female student spoke. – Do you realize that he also stopped talking at high speed too?
-Well, now I can keep up with his lectures. –The male student stated while walking towards his next class.
From what Glynda saw, they understood what Glynda mean when she said "listen to her".
While what Unicorn said in the infirmary sounded harsh, it held some truth behind her words. How come the students of Beacon will learn how to deal with grimms if their teacher is more interested in speak his own tales than the class itself? Or understand what is teaching with their professor speaking a thousand words per minute?
She saw them changing their ways of teaching, so it was her time to show that she is capable to do her work. If this will improve their methods, time will tell them.
Looking around the class, she notices that she was receiving some strange stares from her students, some even seemed afraid, and she knew what could be the reason, considering the reason of her suspension from the work.
But how they knew?
Unicorn told about what happened to her?
It is possible. She did not know what Unicorn was doing during her time away from Beacon.
At a second thought, Unicorn is a girl who likes to be alone. With exception of her teammates, she rarely talks with anyone, also not sharing her personal experiences with her classmates. The most she would share would be a word or two, without much detail.
She would only say words like: training accident and sparring gone wrong.
It doesn't matter at the moment. The class was about to begin.
From the first fight, she chooses one student with average combat skills against someone who needed some improvement. The fight was over in half minute and remembering about what Unicorn said about her methods, she remember to tell about the loser student where he did wrong and how improve.
Legs too much closer while fighting.
Not paying attention on his back.
Trying to use speed against a student who is clearly faster than him, meaning that he should have changed his strategy.
During the class, the students around notices that Glynda had become more talkative, point some problems that normally she would not comment. She even scolded Jaune Arc for not use his shield to block the attacks, and actually stopped the fight when in a two against two match, one student end up attacking his own partner, and tried to keep with the fight.
After what seemed a longer session in the combat class, the bell rang and everyone start to leave, some feeling relief from what Glynda thought, leave without felt her wrath. She could hear some of them talking of how she was paying more attention to them than she normally does.
One of her students, one who uses daggers, was swinging his hands from left to right after Glynda said to him try a different way to use his fighting style.
And finally, she notices Unicorn leaving with her teammates, without spare a glance at Glynda. It is not like her student has something to tell her. It is just the first day from her return and she still needed to see more of Glynda's methods of teaching.
With every single student away from the arena, the blonde woman makes her way towards the staff office.
Staff Room
Opening the door she finds only three of her co-workers, Peach, Port and Oobleck, and not sign of Fernando.
-Can someone tell me where Fernando is? –She asked getting the attention of the others.
-I heard that the general wanted his help with something. –Peach answered. –So he went to Atlas and will be back in next week.
The news surprised Glynda. If there is someone with a relationship worst than Glynda had with Unicorn would be Fernando with Ironwood.
But is not the reason you are thinking, and I know what you are thinking.
Since she could not speak with the blind samurai, she decides to have a word with her co-workers.
-So, who's gonna tell me how things are going with Unicorn?
-They are going absolutely perfect. –Port was the first to answer. –And to think all we needed to do is have a talk with her. If only I knew this sooner.
-Are you serious? –Glynda asked, surprised.
-To be honest, it is hard to believe, but since her talk with you, and us as well, her behavior suffered a drastic change. –Oobleck explained. –Her sarcastic answer stopped, she arrives in classes on the schedule, her constant fights with Ms. Valkyrie have ceased, her violent behavior toward her classmates just disappeared, and she no longer sleeps in classes.
-I even had a quickly talk with her teammates, and her behavior toward them also changed a bit.
-And what exactly you both talked with her? –Glynda asked.
-We talked about her time here in school, and like you told us, we closed our mouths but let our ears open for her. –Port explained.
-We heard about her complains and even a thing or two she likes here in Beacon.
And all they needed to do to discover that is just listen to their student, something a teacher also should do. Teaching is the job for both mentor and student. With the mentor not only teaching but hearing whoever they are mentoring and the students following the instructions of their mentor, give a chance to what they are trying to teach them.
If one side not cooperates, the other will just have problems, no matter who is.
Fernando probably knew that, something she needed to ask him once he returns.
If everything keeps going like that, then would mean the end of their problems.
-Do you guys spoke something else with Unicorn? –Glynda asked.
-A lot actually. –Oobleck said.
-And surprisingly, she did not interrupt me by shoving something in my mouth. –Port said.
Like they agree, listen to them and Glynda that they will listen to Unicorn.
End of the chapter.
While I enjoy writing about this series, I'm thinking about expand my horizons with something a really love.
Games.
So I've decide that the next fictions I will write will be about some of my favorite games. I will wait until one of my fics is complete before start one based in a game as for RWBY, I will wait for future volumes to see if I want to make more stories based on the series. I will still continue with my current stories of course, just the next ones will not be based on RWBY.
That's all folks! See you next time.
