My RWBY AU

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)
"Hello class and welcome to your first Spirit Energy class." Ruby said professionally as she calmly stood up from her desk once all the students were here, although they looked surprised to see mats and beanbags instead of desks and chairs.
"I'm sure you all know but in case you don't my name is Ruby Rose, normally that would be Professor Rose to you all but since you're all older than me just call me either Ruby or Rose… as long as the other teachers aren't around." Ruby said giving them an easy going smile that made a few of the more nervous students relax.
"Now everyone please pick a seat anywhere and get comfortable, today I'm going to be testing to see who among you all has Spirit Energy inside of them. I can already sense that a few of you have it already unlocked but aren't aware of it, others have it partially unlocked, and some have it but it's not unlocked at all." Ruby said causing the students to exchange curious looks as everyone finally sat down either near their partners or teammates. The only one who was alone was Weiss who humphed slightly as she primly sat down on a mat.
"This class will be smaller before the lesson is over, because I can't teach you how to use Spirit Energy if you don't have any. A few of you I can tell have absolutely zero spirit energy or not enough spirit energy to unlock or utilize. You'll find this class to be a bit… different than your other ones. Now I want everyone to relax, go into a meditation pose as if you're trying to touch your Aura. Mr. Winchester if you even think of firing that spitball you'll see exactly how much damage spiritual energy can do to the human body." Ruby said, her calm voice turning sharp on the last sentence but she didn't even look at the boy to see him holding a straw in one hand. The boy quickly put it away but scowled at Ruby who didn't pay him any mind. Everyone was soon in a meditative pose and reaching deep inside of themselves while Ruby watched.
"Okay now don't lose focus but I will go around and tap you on the shoulder. If I don't tap you it's okay, and if I do tap you that's fine too." Ruby said as she began walking amongst the crowd and tapping their shoulders.
"Good now slowly come back to awareness and open your eyes." Ruby coaxed them softly, causing a few people to open their eyes immediately.
"Good job. Now everyone who I tapped raise your hands." Ruby instructed causing most of the class to raise their hands, only a handful or two of people didn't. Cardin looked really smug when he saw that his whole team had their hands raised.
"That's a majority of the class…alright…you all can leave. Go train, go to study hall, or get whatever the other teachers assigned you for homework done. I don't really care as long as you're not in here and not causing trouble." Ruby said pointing at the door and causing several people to look at her confused.
"What?! Why? You tapped us?" Weiss demanded looking confused and angry.
"Exactly. I tapped everyone who didn't have Spirit energy or the ability to use it at all. There's no use for you to stay here when you can't keep up with the class. You'd just end up disrupting the class. So you can leave." Ruby said smirking and causing a lot of passed off grumbles to be heard.
"But that's not fair! Why have a class about some stupid energy that no one can use!?" Weiss demanded stomping her foot like a spoiled child.
"Ah but see? Some of you classmates, and even one of your teammates can use spirit energy. Given how destructive it is when it's not trained of course we would have classes to teach you how to safely use it." Ruby said calmly as she motioned to Blake who was sitting there surprised.
"However because you don't have spirit energy I'm afraid you'd only be a distraction to the rest of the class that does. With spirit energy…distractions can be very dangerous, even deadly. So please leave so I can continue with the class." Ruby instructed casing Weiss to glare and plant herself on the mat very firmly.
"Don't worry Ruby I got her." Yang said smirking as she stepped over, picked her white haired teammate up easily, and threw the girl over her shoulder in a fireman's carry much to the others amusement.
"Thank you Yang. You're being much gentler with her then I would be. Miss Schnee, if you act like that in one of my classes again I will give you a week of detention. I am being lenient since today is the first day of classes but I will not be lenient next time." Ruby said smiling briefly at her sister before regaining her formal air as she talked to the white haired girl who was slamming her fists into Yang's back to try and get the tall blond girl to let go of her.
"By the way you might want to stop hitting Yang. The more hits and damage she takes the stronger she gets since her semblance allows her to absorb the damage and turn it into her own energy." Ruby advised the white haired girl who growled but stopped hitting the tall girl as she was literally carried out of the room.
"Okay now that all of the ones who can't use the Spirit Energy is gone let's get started. Like I said, because I'm younger than all of you just call me Ruby or Rose, whichever one you feel more comfortable with, and when I learn your names I'll call you by your first names as well. I may be a teacher but I'm still a fifteen year old girl so I don't do formal very well for a long time." Ruby said grinning at her much smaller class, there was now only about ten to twelve students at the most. All of Team JNPR was there, so was Blake and several others from older years…and all of them chuckled or laughed at the younger girls sentence.
"Now then, since I can tell that you all have Spirit Energy and unlocked it who wants to start with a fun and practical lesson?" Ruby asked causing all the students to raise their hands high, some of them bouncing eagerly. They were going to like this new young teacher…and more than a few of them grinned wider when Ruby told them what the lesson was going to be.
"Alright we'll start off by focusing our spirit energy into our hands and feet and then we'll start blowing things up with simple punches and kicks. Sound good?" Ruby asked causing everyone to nod.
Oh yes they were definitely liking their new teacher and her special class.
