OKAY, GuffeyManipulation here, with another pre story note. Sry I haven't updated in a while, I have been very busy studying for exams next week(I'm totally gonna fail) and I have not gotten a chance to write a new chapter. I also have gotten no vision about this chapter too, and am just going to wing it, it'll still be good though. Also, on another note, I feel like my chapters are pretty short, so i might start to lengthen them a little farther. Anyways, I'll hold you guys up no longer, heres the chapter.

Chapter 9: Not Paying Attention

I ran back to the dorms to meet up with my friends, a thousand thoughts running through my head. How am I going to train with this power? I am supposed to do them alone so I do not hurt anyone, but my semblance isn't supposed to hurt people that do not intend to hurt me, Right? I was thinking so deeply that I ran straight into somebody. I trampled right into them and we landed in a piled heap on the floor. When I had finally gotten my bearings, I found out that I had ran into Maya. "Hey, sorry about that, I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going."

"Don't worry about it, I wasn't looking either." We stared at each other for a second before I realized that we were still on the ground. We both started to get up, I noticed that she had started to look around for something. I looked down and saw a book lying on the ground. Bending to pick it up I said "Hey, is this yours?"

"Yeah, I was reading it while I was walking back to the dorms. Thanks" She took it back and looked back at me. "Where were you headed in such a hurry?"

"I was heading back to the dorms, as well. I was talking to Ozpin and I had lost track of the time. My friends have been waiting for me for an hour. Do you mind if I walk back with you? I'm sure they can wait another couple of minutes."

"Yeah, sure." We both started to walk back to the dorms together. I noticed that she hadn't opened back up her book, so I decided to start a conversation after a while. "So, I need to ask you something."

"Ask away."

"Last night, when I had woken up in the Infirmary, why were you still waiting in the room, why didn't you go back to the dorms with the others?" She looked kinda shocked by the question, like she didn't know how to respond."Well, I- uh, ummm, I was w-worried about you, I guess. I mean you d-did go into surgery." That was a really shitty lie. I watched her for a second, but she wouldn't meet my eye, she was hiding behind her hair, so I couldn't see her face. I decided to let it go though, I already had a lot on my mind.

"Okay, that makes sense. I did get my back ripped open, I can see why you would be worried." I gingerly touched my shoulder, where the scar was from my wound. I looked up to see that we were at the doors to the dorms. "Well, I better head up to my friends, you have a goodnight."

"Yeah, you too." She started walking back to her dorm and I headed to mine. When I had finally opened the door, I found Ryon to be the only one awake, reading a book. The girls were fast asleep in their beds. I smiled and looked around the room, it was a pretty nice room for a dorm. It had enough room for four beds and desks, a small bathroom, and even a little kitchen. I found the others had left the bed in the back corner alone, so I assumed that that was mine. I walked over to Ryon. "Hey, dude, sorry I was late, how long have they been asleep?" He looked over to the two girls. "About thirty minutes now, Virgo said you were speaking with Ozpin, what about?"

"Nothing, just some extra lessons to help me out" He raised his eyebrows at this. "No, they are not remedial lessons or anything, just to help me get back on my feet after the trial." He then nodded and went back to his book. I decided to go to bed after that, considering it was already 10. I feel asleep almost instantly after my head hit the pillow.

I woke up to my Scroll ringing. I groggily looked up and picked up my scroll to see a message from Ozpin labeled "Special Lesson Schedule". I smiled grimly and looked at the times, pretty simple, three times a week for an hour in Goodwitch's Coliseum. I noticed the first time was this morning before school. I huffed and got up, getting ready for the day. When I left, my friends were all still asleep, so I left a note and went to the Coliseum. When I got there it was empty as I expected. I went to the middle of the Arena and shed my sleeveless jacket, throwing it with my book bag at the edge of the room near the door. I was about to start doing some smaller releases, to get me warmed up to start expanding further, when I heard a voice. "Do you really think it's a good idea to use your semblance without checking your surroundings?" I spun around quickly to find Professor Goodwitch standing at the edge of the Arena. "What are you doing here?! I thought that this was going to be a promised alone time, so I don't hurt anybody?" She smiled and walked over to me. "If nobody's here, then how are you supposed to train efficiently?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I am going to be your new Tutor from now on, I will be training you to use your semblance."

Hey guys, GuffeyManipulation back, just wanted to say that I would have made this longer, but I was restraining myself up to this point to stop myself from making any cliffhangers before this point! but, I am happy with the way it ended. Plz, Review, and/or read the next chapter when it comes out.
