Just like always, Oobleck fill his lesson with a super-fast and hyperactive lecture, utilizing every second with how fast he is talking. Some of the student already ignore Oobleck with his blabbering, focusing on something else entirely like their scroll or just day dream. Some even already fall asleep and honestly I also want to do the same. There is also second and third year here, including Velvet and one of her teammate, probably repeating this class to get better grade.
"Yes! Yes, prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution - more popularly known as the Faunus War. Humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie." He points at the map of said-area with his stick while sipping his coffee with the other hand. I like coffee, but instead of enjoying it this guy is obviously overdose by coffee. "Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day! Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?"
Some of the students raise their hands. Velvet, after a moment, does the same.
"Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence! I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang!" He drink, more like snort, his coffee in his hand before continuing. "Now, which one of you young scholars can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year of the War? Yes?"
"The battle at Fort Castle!" The heiress said with confidence, she really are the best in term of academic in her years.
"Precisely! And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?" Oobleck frantically looking around the room. Cardin flicks a paper football at Jaune's head, causing him to wake up and instinctively raise his hand. Quite the smart ruse. Oobleck notice Jaune raised hand. "Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?"
"Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... that the Faunus..." Jaune answer really slowly trying to find the answer. He even looks behind Oobleck to Pyrrha, who understand her partner struggling. She move her lips as she gives him the answer. She even cup her hands around her eyes to give him the answer. "...had over that guy's stuff... uhh... Binoculars!"
While Jaune looks pleased with his answer, the class laughs at him and Oobleck who already back at the front of the class sips his coffee. Pyrrha sighs and slaps a hand to her forehead as Cardin pounds his fist on his desk while chortling.
"Very funny, Mr. Arc! Cardin!" Oobleck doesn't miss the shitty boy act and point at him now. "Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!"
"Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier." Oobleck shakes his head in disappointment, not because how he jokes but because how he really reluctant of the topic of discrimination. I must give it to Oobleck thou, he is one of the few people who really against the discrimination and loudly announce it. I at least respect him for that, even though his coffee overdose really take much of them.
"You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you, Cardin?" The red head actually yell at Cardin answer, look really offended.
"What? You got a problem?" Cardin shout back, taking it as a challenge.
"No, I have the answer! It's night vision. Many Faunus are known to have nearly-perfect sight in the dark." The red head continue with her answer, Oobleck nod at her answer even smile a little.
"General Lagune was inexperienced and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and the general was captured." Blake continue the answer and explain as best as she can. She then look at Cardin with a sharp gaze. "Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure."
"Why you! Animal should stay be animal! They are inf-"
"Did you know why Faunus is being discriminate?" I cut Cardin before he even finish his sentence from the back of the class. Realizing who cut him off, he fell silent and just wait for me. I look around if there is someone who want to answer, but realizing how serious I'm they keep silent. "Because Human is afraid of Faunus. Not because of they are dangerous, but because they are superior in any way than a Human. Think about it, there are Faunus who can fly, there are Faunus who can climb cliff easily, there are Faunus who can live underwater. Simply put, you human are inferior life form compared to those Faunus. Before long, human will extinct and replaced by those so called animal. Not because uprising and war, but because natural selection."
"Maybe, but they are still dumb animal that are inferior th-" Cardin try to argue with me, but before he could finish I cut him again. I rather not hear his nonsense.
"Then, have any of you heard about Mesopotamia before?"
"Sir?" White raise her hand and I give her a sign to continue. "It is said that Mesopotamia is an advanced civilization on the Dragon Continent, North of the Main Continent. It was said to have an advance technologies even compared to ours now, but it was destroyed around 1000 – 2000 years ago."
"Correct, Miss Schnee. They have technologies that was more advance than anything they have at that time. Only few people know about this fact but it was actually Faunus who play an active role to develop their technology. And that is also the reason Human there fear of being replaced by Faunus and commit massacre at them." There is an inch of anger and hatred boiled in my guts as I talk about it. Suddenly I hear a laugh from Cardin and it only boil my anger some more.
"Serve them right! Maybe we should also do that! Hahahahaha!"
"Cardin, didn't you hear what Weiss just said!? They fall into ruin after that!" Blake yell at Cardin shit talk, she doesn't even hold her voice anymore.
"No, she didn't and it doesn't mean the massacre cause it!"
"It actually is." Before I can say anything, Oobleck actually start speaking. Unlike usual where he talk fast, really fast. Now he is calm and talk with weight in them. "There is a journal from a sailor of that time. They were visiting Mesopotamia at that time, but have to left early after they hear the rumor about the massacre and afraid their Faunus crew will be targeted as well. When they are sailing back to the main continent, they hear a deafening roar from the said civilization. They are already a few hundred kilometer from the dragon continent and even swear in his name that the roar their heard is not of men. Worried by what may happen to the people there, they decide to turn back and check. After another day of sailing back, the sight they find frighten them."
Oobleck take a deep breath instead of a sip of his coffee in his hand. His expression is heavy, contrast of how he used to be, unlike how he was few seconds ago. The students notice this and a heavy atmosphere fill the class.
"It was a sight of death. Not because the massacre they did to the Faunus but something else entirely. The Faunus that they presumed as the victims of the massacre were all dead but the human that caused the massacred also found dead." Oobleck take a sip of his coffee, not because of addict but because how dry his throat was. "The most advanced society in Remnant disappear in a single day. Destroyed to a reason unknown. Some say it was mother nature angry at them for what they did. Some say it Grimm or some beast we know nothing of."
The room keep it sient as Oobleck take a sip of his coffee, regaining his vigor.
"We know nothing for sure, bu-bu-but from this story we can learn to be kind to other that even the world will be kind to you." Oobleck once again take a few sip his coffee and came back to the man he is. Frantic talking and moving, because of his coffee overdose. "I-if you're interested, the journal is called 'The Lost City' and i-i-it is provided in our library. You can borrow them if you're curious. That is all for today class. Mr. Winchester, Mr. Arc, may I have a word with the both of you?"
And with that, every students left the class except the two, with heavy thought in their small head.
When the lesson ends, Pyrrha Nikos decide to wait for her partner who is stuck in the class with Oobleck and Cardin. There was no other people around her, they already back to their own activity. Her other teammates, Nora and Ren was first decided to wait with her. But after she convinced otherwise, they agree and left.
After a few more minutes of waiting, Oobleck is the first one who walk out from there followed by both Cardin and Jaune. The two don't seems happy at all, everyone could guess that Oobleck have gave them an extra homework. Pyrrha goes to greet Jaune, but when her partner stop in front of her, Cardin emerges behind him, pushing him to the ground. The bully laugh happily before walking away.
"You know, I really will break his legs." Pyrrha immediately help her partner back to his feet while a determination form in her eyes. Jaune only sighs at what happen. His partner look at him for a seconds and suddenly struck by inspiration. "I have an idea! Here, come with me!"
Before her partner can say anything about it, Pyrrha grabs a confused Jaune by the arm and drags him along as she turns down the corridor. After a few moment of running, both Pyrrha and adejected Jaune come onto a rooftop of one of the buildings, with a clear view of the glowing green orbs in the central tower of Beacon.
"Pyrrha, I know I'm going through a hard time right now, but I'm not that depressed." Jaune looks over the edge of the roof, to the confusion of his partner. "I can always be a farmer or something..."
A sudden realization hitting Pyrrha with horror, pulling back Jaune from the edge.
"N-n-no! That's not why I brought you up here!" Pyrrha squeeze her partner hand tightly, trying her best to show him how sincere she is to want to help him. Jaune was kind of hard to help with, his low self esteem stop him from receiving others helps. "Jaune, I know you're having a difficult time in class and that you're still not the strongest of fighters, so... I want to help you!"
"Wh-what?"
"We can train up here after class where no one can bother us!"
"You think I need help?"
"N-no! No, that's not what I-"
"Yes you do, you little shit!" I suddenly cut the two lovebird before the situation getting murky between the two. The two seem startled by my sudden appearance, leaning on the frame of the door to the stair.
"Sir, what are yo-"
"Miss Nikos, can you left us both for a few minutes?" I sternly said to the girl, trying to scare her away.
"I'm sorry sir, but I'm not leaving Jaune." The red head step forward, standing between the two of us. Without giving another word, I shift my attention to the subject that will be discussed.
"I should have known the reason of the lack of improvement in your abilities is due to your own stupidity." I walk closer to them, I keep my expression as flat as ever. "I already entrust you to Pyrrha, I shouldn't have think that she would fail to teach you because in fact you are the one who fail yourself. Its seems like even my talk before haven't even able to penetrate that thick skull of yours."
"Sir, it's not like that! It was I wh-" The female student try to protect her partner, I don't let her and continue.
"To tell you the truth, from the start of the examination, few teacher here in Beacon think that we shouldn't accept you. But Ozpin say the otherwise, that you have potential, that you have strategic mind to help." I glare at him, making his expression became more grim with every word I spok, understanding where this conversation is going. "Because of that we let you slip, but after a month of no progress whatsoever, I think you know where this is going. But not only that, you have the guts to forged your transcript."
And with that sentence, all color left Jaune face, his face is white as sheet, he is frighten. But his partner is also the same.
"What... do you mean, sir?" The girl asked in disbelief, staring at me instead of questioning her partner.
"Don't ask me, ask your partner here!' I just disregard Pyrrha question and throw it to Jaune instead. He stay silent, still looking down to the till under him. Realizing all attention fall on him and there is no way to dodge the question, so we wait. After a second, Jaune look at us, still with the same frighten expression.
"I-I didn't go to combat school before, I didn't pass any tests. I didn't earn my spot at this Academy!" The blonde shift his gaze and focus at his partner completely, shouting every words out of fear and anger. "I lied! I got my hands on some fake transcripts, and I lied!"
"I praise your action at first, who else crazy enough to forged their transcript followed by the fact that you are the descendant of the Jeanu D'Arc. That's why I hide the forged transcript from another teacher." This is not completely true of course, Ozpin and Glynda already know, but keep silent of Ozpins behalf. I also was told not to tell anyone, but it was the perfect bullet to use after all. "But I was wrong, you make no progress and even having hard time following the class. I was wrong, you are weak and unworthy to be here. Do you know why?"
"Because I don't have any talent at all!"
"No! Your ancestor wa- In one of the journal wrote about him, he was describe as weak at first just like you! Have no skill! Have no prowess! He can't even hold his weapon properly." I look at Jaune seriously, making him just stand there, afraid. "The difference between you two is that he is not a piece of shit who easily affected by other opinion. Not a piece of shit who so meek that he let another pick on him. Not a piece of shit who is so arrogant that he doesn't want to be helped. Jeanu D'Arc was a simple man who understand the importance of other, have a will stronger than everyone and a clear few of his dream. Unlike you!"
I know I was so harsh that if the other know about this they will nag to me about it, especially Glynda with how many swear I use. But this is necessary, people will become serious when they found their passion, purposes, or threat. For now, this is what will move Jaune Arc to be better, even if he didn't like it. Now, what I need is a reason.
"That is why I had enough, I will tell the other teachers and when they do, not even Ozpin can protect you anymore. Just like that, you'll be kicked from Beacon and disappear from my sight!" I glare right at him, watching his weak and desperate reaction.
"Sir, please, is there no other way for Jaune to stay!? Please!" The girl continue to beg, trying to argue in her partner stead.
"Why would I do that? Look at him, even when his partner is begging for him, all he could do is just stand there and do nothing." Jaune shiver at the comment, confused by what he should do.
"Jaune..."
"PLEASE SIR!" Jaune suddenly drop to the ground, doing dogeza in front of me, even banging his forehead to the ground. "I STILL WANT TO STAY AT BEACON! I'LL DO ANYTHING, SIR!"
"And why is that? Why do you want to stay at Beacon? What do you want to accomplice?" I need to make it hard, he need to find his resolve not simply words.
"BEACAUSE, I WANT TO BECOME A HUNTER! JUST LIKE MY FATHER AND MY ANCESTOR BEFORE ME! SO, I CAN HELP THOSE WHO IN NEED!"
"Is that really what you want? Helps other?"
"YES SIR, I HAVE SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO IN NEED BUT CAN'T GET ANY HELP! AND I WISH TO ATLESST HELP THEM! EVEN A LITTLE!"
"Please sir!" His partner also does a dogeza beside him, bringing it to the extreme. I was hoping for them to just bow or something but this should work… I guess. After a few seconds of silent, trying to have an impression that I'm serious here and really think it through. Showing that if he messes up, he is over.
"Huhhh…" I let a heavy sigh, signaling that I'm ready to decide. "Fine, I give another 2 months for you to prove yourself. Prove that you're fit here in Beacon. No more sleeping in class and not doing your homework. In the end of that two month, I'll asses your performance in combat. If I deem you worthy, I'll let you keep studying here in Beacon. But if not, I kick you out myself. You understand?"
"YES SIR! I SWEAR IN MY FAMILY NAME THAT I WILL DO MY BEST AND PROVE MYSELF!"
"Thank you, sir!" The pair express their thought with happiness and gratitude.
For now, it seems like the cloud of doubt and conviction have left him. Let's hope it will last. I can't help but a smile a little, how naive and innocent this kids are. Well, now that's over, what time is it again? I look at the watch at my wrist and froze.
"Sir, are you alright?" I can hear the red head ask me out of concern but my mind is already goes crazy. Shit, I have no time to spare.
"I have to get going! There a new menu in one of the restaurant in Vale at 4.00 pm and its already 3.55 pm! Remember this is your last chance!" I point at Jaune who already stand up with his partner. He shows a determined expression and nod when I pointed. I then shift to his partner who wore the same expression. "I'll leave it to you. He is an idiot, but he is your idiot."
A red streak on her cheek appears at my remark, but before she could say anything, I already said my good bye and jump from the rooftop.
"Good morning, sir!" It is another morning in Beacon, I sit down on one of the chair in the library that face the open window that show the morning sight. The part is still empty since how early it is but the redhead appear an walk out of the jogging course and toward me. After a few more step, she arrives in front of me. Behind her is the other first years both from team JNPR and RWBY.
"Sup, kid, I must say I surprise you guys is jogging. I though only the red head is a morning person?" The kids shy bashfully at my comment.
"Hehehe," The leader of RWBY shyly laughs and answer. "I just accidentally wake up and when I see Pyrrha having a jog. So I though, why not?"
"That good but did you really need to drag us into this, Rubes?" Her big sister doesn't share her enthusiasm, yawning profusely.
"That's right! While morning practice is important but also is enough sleep." The Heiress also voice her complaint between yawn. From their sleepy expression, I guess their hyperactive leader drag them into this.
"But it would be more fun if we do it as a team, right?" Ruby try to reason, ever so cheerful and energetic.
"That's right!" Instead her teammate, it was Nora who answer Ruby's question. The similar ball of energy that I swear never found tired, outside of class…. and homework. Wait now that I look closely...
"Wait, where is that kid?" I scan the group, searching for the blonde boy. Understanding my question, Pyrrha try to explain but immediately cut before she could start by a shout behind them. Far behind them.
"GOOD MORNING, SIR!" Shout the blonde, making sure he was heard and noticed. After accelerate his pace, Jaune finally arrive beside his teammates. His breath is heavy, soaking of his sweat.
"Having a hard time, ey?" I tease the boy, enjoying the tired expression on his red as a tomato face.
"Yes sir, but I'm not going to give up." He said undettered.
"Good," I nod in agreement. "Just focus on improving your stamina for now."
"May I ask, sir?" To surprise of everyone, it was the black haired girl was the one to ask. She always keep her distance but also the one who ask question. Guess she has trauma of putting trust on the wrong person.
"Like I said, outside of class and formal event, just call me Yussuf." For the second time, she ask me the same way and this is the second time I answer her the same way.
"Alright, Yussuf..." She said awkwardly. "What brought you here in the morning? And what's wrong?"
"Is it about something yesterday?" Jaune also ask, concern could be heard in his voice. I let go of a long sigh before answering.
"Did you know Laure Sabias?" I ask them instead of answering.
"Aren't that the new restaurant who open when we first in arrive in Beacon?" The blonde girl was the one who answer, clearly the one who know place around the city.
"Yeah, yesterday the added a new food to their menu but when I get there, the food is already out of stock..." Silent, I look at them from the corner of my eyes. Their expression varies, most of them look at me weirdly like looking at a weirdo, Ruby and Nora nods as they agree with the sentiment, while Pyrrha just awkwardly laugh.
"I'm sorry, Yussuf..." Pyrrha said showing her concern toward me.
"It's alright, today I already promise myself that I will buy all stock they have! I don't care what people say about it!" I ignore her apologize, this is not her fault at all.
"Isn't that a little extreme for food?" The Heiress was the one who bold enough to comment, not that I mind.
"Hey when I want something, I want something." I proudly said, thumping on my chest. "I also love food, so yeah..."
"Agree! Food are the best!" Nora said, completely agree with me. I see this kid is not just weird but also awesome.
"Right! I really like cupcake, especially if it strawberry flavor." Ruby join in to the conversation.
"Sweet is great but don't forget about the main dishes, the chicken fillet I have at Leraases, North of Beacon is also great! You kids should try sometime!" I don't want to lose, even providing some culinary knowledge I collected over the year.
"For me it was the homemade my parent cook, it is the best!" Ruby said, only for me and Nora nod in agreement.
"Is that so… I honestly thought you just here for spending time for reading." The black-haired girl voice her opinion, rather disappointed.
"Well, you are not wrong. I just remember something by Oobleck lecture yesterday." I honestly said, pointing at the book in my hand.
"About Mesopotamia?" The Heiress asked, sounding curious.
"Yup, about the lost city. The Captain's report is actually more detailed than what Oobleck told yesterday and more grim at that. It just always intrige me, this kind of story." I close the book and show the page toward the kids.
"I never expect you would interested in history, Teach." The big sister comment causing me to shrug.
"You'd be surprised by how amazing the history is. Its an event of the past that always repeat itself as if predicting the future."
It was the last period before launch time, it was Ozpin class today. A special lesson that he personally taught, now and then. But I don't join them today, I have another agenda for today before noon, that is to buy King Crab Roll. It was a variant of sushi, the dishes from the east. I have eat a lot of sushi in my life, a King Crab? I never have it as a sushi before. That's why I want it so bad. That's why, today when the show just open, I bought 15 plates of them. I want to buy them all, but the shop said that is all they have for now.
After I carry the 15 King Crab Rolls, I walk down the hall toward Ozpin's special class. When I arrive, the class is already over. Some of the students already left and walk down the hall, ready for their next activities.
"Hello, Yussuf!" The leader of RWBY said as she left the room, her teammates right behind her, also said their greeting.
"Sup kids, how your days going?" I greet them back, with the plastic bag full of King Crab Rolls in my hand.
"It was awesome, Prof. Ozpin lesson different from others!" The leader said with excitement, just as active as ever.
"Indeed, it was a topic I never think to study before, but surprisingly really interesting." Her partner agree,
"Know right? I was actually listening!" The blonde even looks enthusiastic.
"I think you should do that more often with the other lesson." The black-haired girl retort back, causing the blonde to only smile back at her.
"What is the lesson about, anyway?" I asked the group of kid, rather curious where their enthusiastic come from.
"It was about the fairy tale, Yussuf." Instead the four, it was the leader of JNPR who answer my question. He with his teammates say their greeting when walking out the class. "Prof. Ozpin explain about the fairy tale of The Infinite Man."
"Apparently there is a fact in that legend!" The red-headed give her though as well to the topic.
"Well, every legend has fact in them, some even considered to be truth." I said, completely agree with them while also how rather self-centered he is with his choice of fairy tale.
"Even…. The Evil Dragon?" The red head asked, sounding rather fearful.
"Indeed, while there is no strong evidence, some expert of the topic believe it was true." Instead of me, it was Ozpin who answer the question, startling the kids even more. Just like always, he wore his calm and wise image around him. "Good afternoon, Yussuf, its seems like you miss my class."
"I just though you could handle it on your own." I said towards his sassy remark. "But enough of that, here's your wallet and yours and Glynda's share."
I walk toward him and handled his wallet and one portion of the King Crab Roll.
"Only one, Glynda would be sad." Ozpin said flatly while receiving his wallet and his share.
"Well, tell Glynda I only got 15 of them." And just like that Ozpin left with the food in his hand without any further protest. I am kind enough to share with them, so I bet even Glynda couldn't say much. After Ozpin disappear on one corner of the hall, I turn back toward the kid.
"I'm surprised that you actually do it." The heiress said, still looking at me in disbelieve. "And did you just use Prof. Ozpin money?"
"Hey, I'm a man of his word and yeah, he has some debt to me." No one said anything, the kids only looking at me with disbelieve and tiredness. "What? Why you kids looking at me like that? You want some?"
"Can we?"
"Well, I only have 14 left so I can only gave 4 to you all." I then proceed to hand their portion, one for two people. I hand them to Weiss, Blake, Ren, and Pyrrha, the more responsible one of each pairs. "Remember to share with your partner alright? Don't be greedy!"
"I don't think you have any right to say that, handsome."
"Hey, I use my money that means I can do whatever I want."
"Yeayyyy, let's go to the cafeteria then! Will you join us Yussuf?"
"Hmm, alright lets go, I had enough of Ann nagging about me eating in the library anyway."
"Wait, you eat in the library?"
"Well, I always eat outside, but when I'm not, it's either library or Ozpin's office.
"Hmm, this King Crab Roll is so good! Thank goodness I buy all of their stock." I continue to munch on the meal in my hand. We already move to the cafeteria after Ozpin's class since the kids said they want to have some lunch beside the food I gave them.
"I know! This is the best food I ever tasted for a while now!" Ruby said in excitement as she eat the King Crab Roll and ignore her own meal that she ordered from the cafeteria.
"I hope the cafeteria provide something like this!" Nora innocently said, there are crumbs around her mouth because of how messy she it.
"I doubt they will do that." Weiss simply said, eating the Roll with knife and work, grossing me out. Is that how she eat? I thought you eat this kind of food either with some chopstick or your hands.
"Nevertheless, thank you for the food, Yussuf." Pyrrha said, already finishing her part.
"Don't mention it, it's fine for once in a while." I said while keep chewing the food while hearing team RWBY discussion. This is my second portion and I really enjoy them. And just like me, team JNPR is just focus in front of them, seemingly really enjoy the food. Even Ren who always show a flat expression now beaming with excitement, at least compared to his usual self.
"Good afternoon, Yussuf!" Suddenly I hear someone call me from behind, when I look back it was the leader of CFVY, Coco Adel, and her teammates, a second years students.
"Sup kids, just back from class?" I turn to face them with a mouthful.
"Yes, Prof. Peter have been through with his lesson today, that's why we just got out of class." It was Yatsuhashi Daichi who answer my question.
"Well, just keep up the good job, okay? Oh, and this some for you." I handed them 2 portion of the King Crab Roll. They eyes are beaming with happiness. "Share them with your partner alright?"
"Hey, Yussuf, where ours portion?" Suddenly another kid call me from the corner of the cafeteria. It was Arlock, leader of ASHU, sitting with his other teammates, the third years students.
"You always gift the girls some stuff, but not us!" His friend, Roland, who seats beside him also complains.
"Oh, shut it! You are third years already; you technically already have your own income!" I answer by shouting back the loudest I can while making I chew and swallow my food first.
"Nah, you only want to smooth your move towards the girls, you pervert!" Arlock try to argue, trying to embarrass me in front of the kids.
"You are just jealous because you guys couldn't even talk to girls!" I banter back, drawing a chuckle from his friends.
"Then, I challenge you into a fight! To prove who between us is the manliest!" He finally said, the same sentence every single times.
"You kids never give up, ey? Fine, same time same place?"
"That's right! You better prepare, Yussuf! Because now, you're going to lose!"
"As you wish! Just prepare the bets before you cry after I beat you kids!" I agreed, feeling relieve I'll get another supply of snack.
"Well, see you later then, Yussuf!" Arlock and his friends said as they leave the cafeteria walk toward the hall, laughing among themselves.
After they left, I proceed to the rest of my food. I already ate four of the plate I have, leaving four more. I realize that the first year's kids are completely looking at me.
"What?" I asked with a mouthful.
"What is that all about?" It was the leader of JNPR who ask first, his portion of King Crab Role already empty and now eating the meal he ordered from the cafeteria.
"Just the third kids, they always challenge me into a duel with a bet on the line." I said while keep chewing the food.
"A bet? Is that... okay?" The Heiress asked, worried about the legality of what I said.
"It's fine, the bet is not money anyway, its food." I assure her.
"You really like food huh, handsome?" The blonde start to tease, but I ignore her absurd word.
"Of course, food is the best, right Yussuf?" Ruby stated and I nod, completely agree.
"You know if you eat too much, you'll be fat Rubes and boys don't like fat girls." Her older sister teas her little sister, causing her to blush and pout at her big sister.
"So, when will the duel happen? And where?" The red head ask from beside her partner, already empty her bowl of meal. This kid is fast, not like I can complain. Now I only have 2 portion of King Crab Roll left.
"Just like always, Wednesday at 4 in the training areas. You are welcome if you kids want to watch."
"Of course, I won't miss a chance to study how professional hunter move." The red head excitedly said.
"But is it alright to use the training area outside of lesson?" The Heiress once again asks, questioning the legality of the subject. From her personality, it is understandable, she is the model student after all.
"It's fine, the worst that could happen is me being yelled by Glynda." I said, causing White to only laugh nervously. That's the truth, I have done this several time and have receive Glynda nag at the process. What I need to do is just disappear for a few hours or stay near Ozpin. It's not like they can fire anyway.
"Yussuf, Yussuf, can I ask you something?" The leader of RWBY said, her early embarrass because of her big sister is gone. I give her signal to continue. "Can you teach me how to use a scythe?"
"Aren't you already good at it?" Blake asked from beside her partner.
"There is something that Uncle Qrow haven't teach me yet, and since the both of you have the same technique, you can teach me what he hasn't yet."
"That is a good idea actually we better perfect our techniques before learning something else." The Heiress agrees.
"It's only the second month princess, chill!" The blonde said, keep teasing everyone around her.
"I don't mind, but just tell me when your schedule is free and if I can, then let's do it." I said after finishing all the food I have, causing the youngest to shout happily.
"How Thursday afternoon then?" The girl happily offer.
"Tuesday, ey? Sure, let's start next week then." I simply nod at her excitement, she is so similar to her.
