Professor port: Monsters, demons, prowlers of the night, yes the creatures of grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey, heh ha heh heh.

no one answers

Professor port: Umm and you shall too upon graduating from this prestigious academy, Now as I was saying, Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in our otherwise treacherous world, our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces, and that's where we come in. Huntsmen, huntresses.

Port winks to Yang, who is rather unamused.

Professor port: Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves, from what you ask? Why, the very world!

Random Student: Yep.

Professor port: That is what you're training to become, but first, a story, a tale of a young handsome man, me.

Isaac: I guess he likes to hear himself talk?

Leon: But don't you sometimes?

Isaac: Touche.

Kayla shushes them.

Professor port: Despite smelling of cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man, Peter he told me--

Nina: I bet he's joshing us with half of this.

Kayla: Now why would he teach us lies?

Professor port: In the end, the beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity, and my head held high, celebrated as a hero. The moral of the story, a true huntsmen must be honorable, a true huntsmen must be dependable, a true huntsmen must be strategic, well educated, and wise. So who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?

Weiss: *raises hand* I do sir.

Professor port: Well then, let's find out. *motions to a shaking cage* Step forward, and face your opponent.

Weiss pulls out her rapier and readies for battle.

Yang: Go Weiss.

Blake: Fight well.

Ruby: Yeah, represent team RWBY!

Weiss: Ruby, i'm trying to focus!

Ruby: Oh, sorry.

Leon: Oh man this is gonna be rich.

Isaac: And I forgot my popcorn.

Port: Alright, let the match begin!

Port opens the cage to reveal the boarbatusk inside, which grunts and charges at Weiss, who slashes the boarbatusk as it passes.

Port: Ha ha, wasn't expecting that were you.

Ruby: Hang in there Weiss!

Weiss lunges at the boarbatusk, but it catches her rapier with it's tusks

Port: Bold new approach, I like it.

Ruby: Come on Weiss, show it who's boss!

Boarbatusk disarms Weiss and knocks her over.

Port: Huh ho, now what will you do without your weapon?

The boarbatusk charges at Weiss, she sidesteps, runs, and retrieves her rapier.

Ruby: Weiss, go for it's belly, there is no armor underneath!

Weiss: Stop telling me what to do!

Boarbatusk prepares for a spinning dash attack.

Isaac: Now this is grade A entertainment!

Nina: You bet it is.

Boarbatusk dashes at Weiss, who stops it with her semblance, the boarbatusk falls over, Weiss impales it, and it dies.

Port: Bravo, Braa-vo, it appears we are indeed in the presence of a true huntress in training, i'm afraid that is all the time we have for today, be sure to cover the assigned readings and, stay vigilant, class dismissed.

Isaac: Can't believe she did it.

Leon: I was expecting her to lose after she got disarmed.

Kayla: Yeah whatever, let's get going.

The next couple weeks went on well, now it was sparring class, team NIKL watched as a chuckling Cardin approached a nearly defeated Jaune, Jaune tried to charge at Cardin, but he stepped aside and bashed him in the chest. Jaune tried again but Cardin parried him.

Cardin: This is the part where you lose.

Jaune: over my dead--.

Cardin knees Jaune, causing him to fall over, Cardin gets ready to smash Jaune's face in only to be stopped by a buzzer

Glynda: Cardin, that's enough, students, as you can see, Mr, Arc's aura has now dropped into the red, in a tournament style duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle and that the official may call the match. Mr, Arc it's been weeks now please try to refer to your scroll during combat, gauging your aura will help you to choose when it is appropriate to attack, or when it is better to move to a more. Defensive strategy, we wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a beowolf, now would we?

Cardin: Speak for yourself.

Glynda: Remember everyone, the vytal festival is only a few months away, it won't be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale, so keep practicing. Those the choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale.

Bell rings and everyone leaves and goes to lunch.

Nora: So there we were in the middle of the night.

Ren: It was day.

Nora: We were surrounded by ursai.

Ren: They were beowolves.

Nora: DOZENS OF THEM!!

Ren: Two of 'em.

Nora: but they were no match and in the end, Ren and I took them down and made a boatload of lien selling ursa skin rugs!

Ren: Ah.. She's been having this recurring dream for nearly a month now.

Leon: I don't know, I enjoyed listening to it.

Pyrrha: Jaune, are you okay?

Jaune: Huh, oh yeah, why.

Ruby: It's just that you seem a little... Not okay.

Kayla: Ruby's right, you haven't said a word since sparring class.

Jaune: Eh, guys, i'm fine... Seriously, look. *nervous chuckling*

Everyone sees team CRDL mocking Velvet.

Pyrrha: Jaune, Cardin's been picking on you since the first week of school.

Jaune: Who, Cardin Winchester? Nah... He just likes to mess around, you know? Practical jokes.

Ruby: He's a bully.

Nina: I should know, I've seen plenty of those back in the city.

Jaune: Oh please... Name one time he's "bullied" me.

Montage of Cardin bullying Jaune.

Jaune: I didn't land far from the school.

Pyrrha: Jaune, you know if you ever need help you can just ask.

Nora: Ooh, we'll break his legs!

Jaune: Guys, really it's fine, besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me; He's a jerk to everyone.

Velvet: Ooww, that hurts!

Cardin laughs as he tugs on Velvet's ear.

Velvet: Please stop.

Cardin: Heh heh, I told you it was real.

Russell: What a freak.

Velvet escapes and walks away.

Pyrrha: Atrocious, I can't stand people like him.

Blake: He's not the only one.

Isaac: People like him are the reason the White Fang are a thing.

Yang: It must be hard to be a faunus.

Kayla: Trust me, you don't know the half of it.

The next day

Professor Oobleck: This is prior to the faunus rights revolution, more popularly know as the faunus war. Humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing faunus population in Menagerie.

Oobleck sips coffee

Oobleck: 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.

Oobleck sips coffee again

Kayla: You think that's enough coffee?

Leon: Honestly.

Oobleck: Now, have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your faunus heritage?

Velvet, Kayla, and Isaac all raise their hands

Oobleck: Dreadful, simply dreadful, remember students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence.

Oobleck sips coffee yet again

Oobleck: I mean, I mean just look at what happened to the White Fang. Now, which one of you young scholars can tell me what many theorists believe to be the turning point in the third year of the war?

Weiss puts her hand up

Oobleck: Yes?

Weiss: The battle at fort castle.

Oobleck: Precisely, and, who can tell me the advantage the faunus had over general Lagoon's forces?

Cardin flicks a paper football at Jaune, who reacts in pain before Oobleck dashes in front of him.

Oobleck: Mr, Arc, finally contributing to class! This is excellent, excellent! What is the answer?

Jaune: Uhh... The answer... The advantage... Of the faunus... Had over that guy's stuff.

Pyrrha keeps gesturing to Jaune.

Jaune: Uhh... B-Binoculars?

Everyone laughs while Oobleck sips his coffee.

Oobleck: Very funny, Mr, Arc, Cardin, perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!

Cardin: Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal then a soldier.

Pyrrha: You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you Cardin?

Cardin: What, you got a problem?

Isaac: *stands up* You know Cardin, people like you are the reason the White Fang are a thing in the first place!

Cardin:*stands up too* You want me to come over there you little rat!?!

Isaac: Bring it on "Wingcheater", bring it on!

Pyrrha: Besides, I don't have a problem.

Isaac and Cardin: What!?!?

Pyrrha: I have the answer.

Isaac: Oh *He then sits back down*

Pyrrha: It's night vision, many faunus are known to have nearly perfect sight in the dark.

Cardin growls in frustration.

Blake: general Lagoon 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.

Isaac: We shouldn't spoil the ending, but needless to say Lagoon didn't see it through the night. *grins smugly*

Blake: Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure.

Isaac smiles while Cardin grunts and balls his fists.

Oobleck: Mr, Winchester, please take your seat.

Jaune chuckles at Cardin, causing Oobleck to dash in front of him again.

Oobleck: You and Mr, Arc can both see me after class for additional readings.

Oobleck sips coffee once again

Oobleck: Now, moving on.

Half an hour later, everyone leaves class.

Kayla: It truly breaks my heart to know of such horible plights.

Nina: Meh grandad was a mercenary in the war, did you know that?

Isaac: Yeah, really fascinating, i'm sure he-- *stops mid sentence and starts sniffing at the air* What's that smell? *he runs off*

Leon: Coonie, where you going?

Isaac takes off with his team following behind, he then turns a corner and finds a lemon pastry sitting in the middle of the hall.

Isaac: Lemon pastry? My favorite!

Nina catches up and stops him.

Nina: Isaac hold up, ya don't find it strange that there's a pastry in the middle of the hall?

Isaac: Well I--

Leon grabs the pastry and a net falls from the ceiling.

Dove: Dang, we missed him!

Russell: We'll try again tomorrow.

Leon: is this what you want?

Isaac swipes the pastry and eats it almost instantly.

Kayla: Slow down, you a racoon or a piggie?

Isaac: Hey I can't help it, I love these things.

Leon: At any rate, we have a field trip tomorrow so let's bed down.

Team NIKL makes for their dorm.
