Chapter 3 - Team EASY

Dorm room, 6:00 AM.

The first noises emitted into the room. Grunts and moans arose as the team alarm clock set itself off. The first member to click the snooze button was Ezeckiel, who was nearest to the buzz. Arising from bed, he took out his binder full of all the schedules that content their member's doings. Sore from last night, he stretched out as he read the papers, unclipping four sheets for every one of them.

"Damn." Ezeckiel cussed at himself. "Three classes, all in the morning, and i'm the earliest out of you four."

"MMffpph-" Silver let out a muffled moan as he growled into the pillow, stretching himself out. It wasn't long that Yi and Alice groaned upward. Unsurprisingly, Alice was immediately up and going, bundling up her clothes to take a shower.

"'Mornin." Ezeckiel greeted.

"Yo." Alice replied as she bit onto a hair tie, bundling her hair to wrap the hairtie around.

Silver's ears perked up from the bed, "God damn it."

"Same." Ezeckiel replied as I handed out a paper to Alice. "By the way, that's your schedule."

"Wha- Oh." Alice blanked out as she tied her hair up, reading the paper. "You said you have three morning classes, right?"

Ezeckiel nodded in Alices mirror as he fixed his own hair up. "I'm going early just incase something goes wrong."

"No breakfast?" Yi asked as she munched on a snack bar.

"I've lost my appetite after yesterday." He replied as he started to change.

Alice grunted, "Can you change clothes somewhere else?"

"I thought you were going to use the bathroom?" Ezeckiel replied as he continued on. Yi and Silver glanced away.

"Fuck you too." Alice sighed.

"Haha." Ezeckiel laughed as he entered the bathroom. "I'm using this before you do."

Alice dropped all her contents and dashed for the door. "Wait- Oh god damn it Ezeckiel."

Silver finally ejected himself from the bed, walking to the paper Ezeckiel left behind. He scanned the paper for anything offset. Luckily, he had afternoon classes. "4:00, 6:00, and 8:00, all in the afternoon."

"Holy-" Yi dashed up next to Silver. "No way you can have that late of classes."

Silver shrugged. He definitely liked his schedule, not minding the position he was in. "Might as well huddle back in bed."

"Lucky." Yi spat. She read her paper. Her face lit up, satisfied. "For me!"

"How's your classes?" Silver asked as he flung himself onto the bed.

"All afternoon." Yi said. "Not as late as yours though, but I do have four classes I'm taking."

"Damn." Alice leaned against the wall as she flung her paper up to her face. "Looks like I'm going to be in a class with Ezeckiel."

"Cool" His muffled voice heard through the bathroom. He opened the bathroom. "I'm guessing I have the earliest classes, right?"

"Yep." The three of them said.

"Oof." He readjusted his suit. "I tell you what, these uniforms look pretty sleek."

"Mine may be too big." Yi chimed as she held hers up to her body.

"You'll probably grow into it."

"You seriously sound like my dad."

"Haha." Ezeckiel giggled as he ran through the content of his backpack. Nothing too mysterious inside. Snack bars, Papers, Folders, and a laptop.

"Alright guys, I'm heading out. See you in the afternoon." Ezeckiel said as he exited the door.

Ezeckiel's POV

I closed the door behind me softly. Looking both ways, I walked left. A couple were dashing through the hallways, catching me off guard. What were they doing? They were all in their school uniforms, so i'm assuming they're late.

Mazing my way through. I followed a couple students into the hallways. Taking out my schedule, I read in my head. First class, Professor Ports lecturing of Grimm. Interesting subject. I'm usually taught the basic four subjects of Math, English, Science, and History. This time, they're more specified to hunters and huntresses liking.

I looked at the glass flooring as I walked along as I watched my feet go from step to step all the way to class. The academy was separated by section, and fate had to decide my classes were all the way at the other end of the school.

I lifted my head to gaze through the corridors of the large hallways. The hallways gradually got bigger, all emptying into the main commons room, where everyone was meeting up for breakfast. A vending machine caught my eye, full of small snacks.

Damn, i'm lying to myself. I said I lost my appitite, but… those snackbars that Yi was eating looked pretty good.

Patting myself down for spare change, I pulled out a couple of lein paper bills, inserted them into the machine, and pressed the letter and number A3. The machine unwinded itself a small snackbar that looked familiar to what Yi was eating. Taking it out of the machine, I read the label, "Niko's bar.", which had a red label identical to her hair. It was the girl on team JNPR, who was very well known throughout Remnant due to her abilities to fight.

Continuing on walking, I slipped the bar onto my backpack, accidentally bumping into a couple students along the way. "Sorry!" I apologized.

The students didn't reply, going along with their business. Rude, but well played. Looking left, I saw the overhead sign listing class numbers. 121 was my first class, veering me right. I glanced at most of the students, who had their own personalities shown throughout the commons. Statements of opinion were heard all over the commons sadly, unknowing that people were sadly eavesdropping.

"She's definitely a bitch." I heard from the left.

"Odd, since I was 1 room down of her." Another chatted.

"What's your first class?" The others talked.

I weaved through the crowds into the hallway. Counting along the signs, I stumbled upon my class fast. No one was standing outside the door. The room lights were off, giving a sense of awkwardness into the air.

"H-Hello?" I asked scarcely. No answer.

Looking to the side, I saw a pair of light switches. Flicking them on, the room filled with brightness. Unfolding my schedule, I noticed I was standing in room 120. Immediately, I flicked off the switch in a state of panic, looking both ways making sure no one saw me, and walked out.

"Oh god." I said to myself, finding room 121. There, stood about a couple of students inside the room, which was huge. It could fit about 50 inside the room, which about… zero we're filled up. Looks like i'm the first one to sit down.

Sitting my bookbag down, the students outside took a seat, pulling out their scrolls in boredom waiting for class to ring.

Minutes went by in a hurry as I waited impatiently for a teacher to come along. Professor Port should be coming in soon hopefully.

More and more students filled the seats of the room. Observing each one of them closely, none of them looked to any suspense. Good thing, because I don't want to be stuck with a room full of talk-

Footsteps ran up the hallway in a hurry, vanishing my train of thought. Four students in a panic entered the room on time as the bell rang.

"Wake us up earlier next time Blake." The pale girl held her knees as she regained her breath. She followed her team into the final four seats in a row.

"Welcome to Grimm Studies, 121." Professor called out as he entered the room. The room died down to a silence. "We'll get started with a small statement, with rules."

He blabbered upon how a leader is a leader. Don't have late assignments, don't screw up. Pay attention, all the basic rules. The last rule caught my attention. Sparring in class. No headshots, and if you're knocked down with 50% of aura left, you loose.

A lot of students glanced at each other as Professor talked about. We then deepened into our first lesson of the day, talking about the basic grimm.

The hours ticked by, students fell asleep. To their luck, the bell rang at the right time before Professor rang in another story. One by one, everyone evacuated the room of boredom.

"Thank you Professor." I thanked him even though the lecture was boring.

"You're welcome!" He waved back.

Onto my next class, which will start in 5 minutes. The room across, room 123. Tactics and assembly.

The room had a steam-punk theme, displaying extravagant weapons on the walls. I'm hoping to have experienced students here because i'll be stumped unless I catch on early.

The room was roughly big though having such a small amount of tables to sit at. Students were assigned two to a desk by the looks of the layout, but had a lot of table room to work off of.

The bell rang, and out came a young man with a unique personality. "Welcome, to 123. Please look at your schedule to check if this is the right room you're sitting in, because it'll be awkward to have you here."

Two students panicked, and ran out, cursing at themselves. "Oh jeez. Anyway, My name is professor Zen, one of the only 3 mechanic teachers. We will be teaching Tactics and Assembly, a class where you have to design your own weapon or remodel your own.

My face lit up as i flashed myself backwards to referencing how my team had transforming weapons other than me. "May I all see your weapons…?"

Pulling out the longsword and pistol, I layed them out. The person infront of me had silver darts.

"Sorry to put everyone on the spotlight, but I'm going to have to ask everyone to do a show and tell here in a moment. But for now, examine your weapons and take a description of them."

Mr. Zen walked around silently as he looked closely at our weapons. He pulled out a magnifying glass to examine closer.

He pulled up a chair for everyone to showcase their weapon to everyone. Somehow, everyone had something simular to another student. I was called up third to last, luckily learning off other students descriptions to find the best one for me. Sitting up onto the showcase chair, I layed the weapons on my lap.

"Hello, I'm Ezeckiel Reyes. My weapons are as simple as it gets. Pistol and Longsword. My longsword is plated from the guard down to the handle gold, but used with a base of Tungsten. It's heavy at the base, allowing easy handling." I gave the blade a small twirl around my hand for a description. "The blade wears out easily though because of it, so I'm having to go back to the nearest blacksmith to get it repaired bi-yearly."

Picking up my gun and pinning the longsword, I pulled out the clip to display everyone. "This is the pistol that I have. 17 rounds of 9mm, standard Atlas clips. The bullets themselves aren't really special. They were handcrafted due to the weird clip angle, so the gun won't easily jam."

Mr Zen nodded, "Any specalties to the weapon?"

I shook my head. "Nothing crazy, like a transformation. Basic sheath and holder. That's all."

"Alright, thanks for your time!" Professor clapped.

The class went on to their first lesson of joints. There were about only twelve students in the class overall, but the atmosphere was really high since Professor Zen was really open. He even made a joke about an actual joint.

Class was fun and short, which gave us a lot of time to screw around. Pulling up my scroll, I looked at my notify to see that I've gotten a text from Yi. Pulling it up, she was apparently having an awkward conversation with Silver.

Snapping my phone off, the bell run for lunchtime. I pulled myself out of class and darted right into the commons. Already, the commons were shoulder to shoulder packed to leave the academy to go out to the lunch area, which looked like a church.

Finding an area on where to sit, the only seats available were the ones on the edge of the outer wall. Taking a seat and sliding out the snack bar I got earlier. I started to chomp down what I had.

"You don't mind if i we sit here, don't you?" A girl asked. It was Ruby, from team… RWBY.

I took a gulp. "I don't mind. Go ahead."

The four sat down in a sporadic pace. "How's your day, Rubes?" Yang asked, the blonde.

"Meh." She replied. "Could've been better."

"Were you in Professor Ports class?" I asked.

The four of them groaned all at the same time, making me laugh a bit. "Oh jeez."

The next few days consisted of stale movement. No one was really communicating with each other, deep inside their studies. I probably had the most consistent schedule, while everyone else had something crazy. Silver was pounded with homework the next day, picking up even more books as he went along his business. He would probably be busy with homework for the next couple of days, so i didn't want to bother him.

A few days later, Vale Festival, 2:00 PM

The next days went on, and suddenly The Vale Festival came around in a hurry. Energetic, smooth, and-

*BANG* "MPFH!" I stumble to the floor, running into someone on accident. I looked up, but he was gone in an instant. Silver's eyes grew wide as he darted left. Blake suddenly blew by towards his direction in a hurry, along side her team.

Without futher thought, I grabbed Yi and Alice's attention, "We gotta follow Silver, NOW." They nodded as they trailed behind me. Suddenly, RWBY's team ran into a person, but we kept darting. Eventually, we lost him, and Silver returned. He was panting hard as he went behind an ally to remove his arctic hat.

Wiping his forehead, he cursed. "Damn."

"What happened?" I asked him as I offered him my bottle of water. He chugged half of the bottle, wiped his mouth, and finally spoke.

"Some faunus guy ran down towards…" Silver took another deep breath. "The back alleyways so he could get away from some guards. I ended up losing him though since he flung up building to building."

"Damn, know what he looks like?" Yi asked.

"Blonde hair, jeans, monkey faunus." Silver replied, putting his hat back in place.

"At least we have a profile of him." Alice added. We nodded, waiting for Silver to catch his breath.

"Sorry I darted without warning, As soon as I saw his tail, I went to follow since he was on the run." Silver smirked.

I sighed, "Just don't give us any more scares."
