POV - Flynt
"This is so weird," I whispered.
"What," Ilia asked.
"Huh," I asked.
"You said this is weird, why," she asked.
"Well let's take a look at our team. We have Whitley Schnee, youngest child, the luckiest kid on Remnant, who survived two years in the unforgiving Solitas mountain ranges. You're a… well… y'know, who is getting along surprisingly well with Whitley, who comes from a family notorious for oppressing your people. Neon, a rave loving tabby cat faunus who loves nothing more than a good time, who is getting along with Whitley and giving some weird looks to boot. Then me, a Jazz loving son of a man whose store was shut down by Jacques Schnee because he was considered competition somehow," I answered.
"Well we've got it better than his sister," Ilia said.
"What," I asked.
"Well I may or may not have a more selfish reason for volunteering for this… operation," Ilia answered.
"Being," I asked.
"I'll explain later," Ilia answered.
"Alright," I said.
We rounded the last corner leading us to the hall that led to Professor Zeus's class.
"He gets a hallway," Whitley said.
"Apparently," I said.
We walked into Professor Zeus's class and took our seats.
"Hello students my name is Zeus Olympus, you will refer to me as Professor Zeus, I will be teaching you everything you need to know about basic Grimm," Professor Zeus said.
"Wait, why is his last name Olympus but we're supposed to call him Professor Zeus," Ilia asked me.
"To put it simply I don't wish to be referred to as Professor Olympus," Professor Zeus answered.
"Why not," Ilia asked.
"Because there would be three Professor Olympus's in the Academy, well four," Professor Zeus said.
"That makes sense," Ilia said.
"Now, next question, that isn't about my name," Professor Zeus said.
"Why did you decide you wanted to teach the next generation of huntsmen," a kid in the back asked.
"Well my wife and the rest of my team decided that they wanted to help you youngins, so I followed," Professor Zeus answered.
"Who's your wife," Neon asked.
"Hera," Professor Zeus answered.
"We just had her, she's nice, mean, but still nice," Whitley said.
"Sounds like Hera alright," Professor Zeus said.
"Why Grimm," the oddball Penny asked.
"Because I think the only way any of us are going to be the best huntsman we can be is if we understand the strengths and weaknesses of our enemies," Professor Zeus answered.
"That seems a bit extreme sir," Whitley said.
Ilia raised an eyebrow at that.
"Much like fighting a person, if you even have a fundamental understanding of how to use the weapon they are fighting with then you have already won the match," Professor Zeus said.
"Makes sense," Whitley said.
"Any more questions," Professor Zeus asked.
A few students raised their hands. Professor Zeus pointed to a student in the front row that I couldn't quite see.
"What is your semblance sir," a female voice asked.
"I have complete control of lightning," Professor Zeus answered.
"To what extent," the girl asked.
"Complete means complete," Professor Zeus answered.
"Oh," the girl said.
"Next," Professor Zeus asked.
"What weapon do you use," a boy with gray hair to my left asked.
"I use a buster sword that mechashifts into a railgun," Professor Zeus answered.
"Cool," the gray haired boy said.
"Very, any other questions," Professor Zeus asked.
"You said there would be four Professor Olympus's, why," a girl with red hair asked.
"Well you have me, Professor Hera, as well as my two brothers, Professor Hades and Poseidon," Professor Zeus answered, "Anything else?"
"What type of work should we expect," a boy with hair as white as a cloud asked.
"Well I always hated essays so you won't have any super long ones," Professor Zeus answered.
"How long," the boy asked.
(That's what she said)
"At most 750 words at least 500," Professor Zeus answered.
This answer was followed up by a grateful sigh coming from a few people in the room.
"Though if you do extra and I think what you wrote is worth it, I am allowed to give extra credit," Professor Zeus said.
"What type of Grimm will we learn about this year," a girl with brown hair asked.
"You will learn about simple Grimm like the Beowolf, all the way too big Grimm like Nevermore," Professor Zeus answered.
"How are the tests," I asked.
"Compared to your other classes, probably easy," Professor Zeus answered, "Anything else?"
No one raised their hand.
"Cool, now the first Grimm we will be talking about is the Beowolf," Professor Zeus said as he walked over to a detailed chalk drawn image of a Beowulf, "Beowolf are an interesting type of Grimm in my opinion because of how they act."
"Beowolf are so simple though," Ilia said.
"Ah-ha that statement right there is famous among Huntsmen because it is both true and so very wrong, because you are right, Beowulf are simple, but they are dangerous to even the greatest Huntsman. Now who can tell me why Beowolf can be dangerous," Professor Zeus asked.
"They travel in packs that can range from 10 to a few hundred in rare cases," Whitley answered.
"Correct Mister Schnee, the largest recorded pack of Beowolf was around 743 strong," Professor Zeus said.
This statement elicited a range of responses from our fellow students.
"The two ways a Beowolf can inflict damage is by cutting with its claws and biting with its powerful jaws," Professor Zeus said, "But there is a third way that a Beowolf can kill you, falling on you."
A few students giggled at the prospect.
"Now I know this is silly, but it is true. Now it mostly happens to civilians, but it can happen if a huntsman or huntress gets sloppy," Professor Zeus said.
"How could someone miss a giant black mass falling on them," a girl asked.
"Because even the greatest hunters can get overwhelmed," Professor Zeus answered.
"But isn't awareness a big part of our training," the girl asked.
"Yes, but there is a thing called too many Grimm," Professor Zeus said, "Now who can tell me when we first discovered the Beowolf?"
"Not really sir, though some theorize that they walked Remnant before man's creation," Whitley answered.
"Correct, that answer is common among almost every species of Grimm until you start talking about experiments," Professor Zeus said.
"Experiments," I asked.
"It means exactly what you think it means, some people have tried running experiments on Grimm, which is part of the reason Mount Glenn fell," Professor Zeus said.
"Who in their right mind would experiment on Grimm sir," a girl with green hair asked.
'That's some weird hair'
"That's just it, he was a brilliant man, but he was also insane," Professor Zeus answered.
"Why do Beowolf travel in packs," a boy with black hair asked.
"We don't truly know, but there are some theories you can look up that are pretty good," Professor Zeus answered, "Now on to how to kill them. You can do so many things if they are not Alpha's such stabbing, cutting, shooting as long as it does damage it works, but the best way is to shoot them."
"Why is that," a girl in the back asked.
"Because it is the most efficient," Professor Zeus answered.

"Have a good day, no homework for today," Professor Zeus said.
"One last class," I said.
"That is so strange," Professor Zeus said.
"What is sir," I asked.
"You have five classes but only go to three of them a day," Professor Zeus answered.
"That is weird isn't it," Whitley said.
"Well each class is two and a half hours long," Neon said.
"Good point," Whitley said.
"Alright off to your next class you four," Professor Zeus told us.
We made our way out of his class and started walking towards our last class of the day.
"So what now boss man," Ilia asked.
"History with Professor Chronos," I answered.
