A nice afternoon. Faris combed his hair neatly to the right before he headed toward the academy's. His muscle was still stiff, and a his usually clear eyes had a hint of red on them. One look at him and one thing would be clear; he had just woke up. The reason being that right after finishing the pop quiz given by a professor, he took a nap. An exceedingly long and blissful one that he had to be shaken awake by his friend so that he wouldn't miss the afternoon announcement. The reason he napped was that he didn't sleep much on the previous night.

How could he? The feat of creating an entire net large and strong enough to hold a Burgek still, although amazing, put a heavy burden on his body. Not to mention that he was already stained by the backlash from the broken chain previously. It was too much for his mind that Faris fell unconscious not long after he dissolved the net. All he could remember was the orange light, green flowing strands... and that was it. He blacked out afterward, only to wake up one day later on his bed. Someone must have carried him. Maybe Nuadha?

Speaking of Nuadha, he was one of the three reasons he didn't get much sleep last night. Eager to start his drawing, Faris spent half of the night creating sketches of the scene when Nuadha took off his jacket, which was very cool! If life is a story, the scene would be right after the hero performed a secret training and comes into the battlefield with newfound power, Faris thought to himself.

The second reason was that he spent one day unconscious. Right after, he rushed after his classmates to copy their notes on the classes he missed.

The third reason was the unfinished scarf. It got all tangled up after it accompanied him through the battle and he refused to waste perfectly good wool. That was expensive! The other half of the night was spent unraveling the tangled wool, cutting the damaged part, and using the intact threads to remade the scarf.

As he approached the academy entrance with heavy eyes, Faris drowsily looked around. Spying Seong's sitting down nearby, he started to walk to his side, but instead, Seong stood up and approached him. With a question. Just after he woke up.

"Maybe they're bored?" he said mindlessly as he slumped down and hugged his knees.

"Can it be another practical test like two days ago? If it's a pop quiz or lecture we would be told to gather in the lecture room... maybe we get a field trip."

Faris went on murmuring as he closed his eyes and hoped the professor would be late like usual. The chain necklace pressed on his chest, but he didn't care.

He wished he could be in bed.

  Worry was the first thing that came into Seong’s mind. Even after a whole day unconscious it seemed Faris was still not looking one hundred percent yet. He wasn’t expecting him to be really, not after the power he’d shown, but that didn’t change the fact that they sort of needed to be ready at all times.
  
  “Shit... Man you don’t look to good... Are you still wiped out?”
  
  He squatted down to look over Faris to check him over. His hood still got in the way a bit so eventually he was looking eye to eye with the taller man. Part of him got annoyed that Grand let Faris use this much energy, hell it’s not like the man didn’t already wind up stepping in splitting the already dysfunctional group up more. Though he wasn’t really all that pale, he was actually looking much better than Monday afternoon so that was something.
  
  Still he couldn’t quite be comfortable with the sluggish posture of his friend. Was he really going to be okay? Seong eventually dropped out of the squat to sit with his legs crossed next to Faris. He occasionally took glances at the man making sure that he didn’t fall if he did knock out.
  
  “Are you sure you’re ready for another practical? They split us up into three teams before so they’re probably going to do so again. Don’t be afraid to lean on us if things get dicey okay. Even out in the field Paladins support each other, so there’s no shame in moving back if you struggle okay.”
  
  He could feel he was rambling but honestly hiding his concern was hard, it was much easier to just admit to it. Part of him wanted to push Faris back into bed and keep him from doing whatever the teachers had planned for them but not only was that a bit insulting to Faris but it was also highly unlikely to work even if he did have the ability to get him back there on his own. After all it wasn’t quite like they could ignore whatever the teachers had planned. Unfortunately.

Things didn't go exactly as he hoped that day, from relying on his fellow Rasporian with the trees and to having Grand's clone step in. As angry as he was about the outcome, he knew that it couldn't have been helped. They had taken far too long, even to the point of having a second phase of the fight since their enemies had been able to retreat with backup. This was something he couldn't get over, and afterward, he found himself replaying the events in his head on a loop, taking notes on how they could have done better. Even now he was still replaying the events when the corner of his eye caught Larisa's wave.
There was a slight hesitation from him as he paused, almost ignoring her completely as he glanced away from her location. He was kind of embarrassed about how much he relied on her in that fight. Not only did she have to carry him up and down from the tree, he also called out to her specifically. While he did try to excuse it as Larisa being the best choice in that situation, he still didn't feel right about specifically relying on her so heavily. If he depended on her too much, he'd never be able to expand his connections . . .
Caving in, he returned her wave with his two fingers and walked over to her with his hands in his pockets as usual. He couldn't help himself, plus she was a Razodorian and from what he read, she would probably get pissed off. Which was worse than him depending on her too much.
"Not as ready as I would like to be." Nic sighed as he allowed himself to be summoned by her. He glanced over his back dully, his skateboard being in its quiver like form on his back and annoyingly not stocked with as much Dust as he would have preferred. If it wasn't for the fact Larisa had also called Bunbun over, he would have liked to apologize about the whole tree incident but he didn't exactly feel comfortable discussing it in front of anyone like her. Actually, he would have liked it if the tree incident stayed in their group.​

Qwin Song

Qwin hated how his last encounter went with his group. He was sure if Crimson didn't take control he could have dealt with the situation better. Plus, with the fact that the teacher's clone had to step in just bothered him more. They should have been able to take care of those creatures easily. But they didn't and he couldn't change that. He would just have to redeem himself on a future mission.

Though before he could do that he had to bring his other sides in line. The fact that Crimson stole control and Nova helped him put a bitter taste in his mouth. They were always so reckless and emotional. Though he did keep them on a loose leash in the past that would have to change. He couldn't have them messing anything up in the future. So over the past two days, he had to deal with them. Which basically involved a weird mental battle for control. It wasn't an easy process but it had to be done. He couldn't afford any missteps in the future. Though he wasn't able to block them completely he was able to make it harder for them to take control without his permission just in time for the next class meeting.

So after leaving his room, he headed down to the school's Gate and as he arrived he found Larisa was calling him over. He was a little surprised by this as their last interaction wasn't the best thanks to Crimson. Though he was glad she did because he could try and fix any negative view that might be present. "Actually yes I am. I am hoping that whatever this is will go better than last time." He replied trying to be as nice as he could. Though his statement did come out with little emotion present.

Well ... it could have been worse Terra decided after everything was finally over. So maybe she wasn't as good as combat as she hoped, and maybe Ivan stabbed at the ground like a madman for a second there and maybe Able froze in the middle of things ... but hey, it could have been worse! At lest Ramona didn't accidentally shoot her or anything ... teamwork wasn't quite as dreadful as she had imagined it after all.

Terra scrunched her nose as she finally felt a jolt of pain course through her leg from where a Ruzzler had bit her - thankfully, the girl had a high pain endurance and the wound did not seem too deep - it was more of an annoyance rather than something else. Giving Team A one last look, Terra turned on her heel and -without saying another word- started heading back.

+++

The sight of Larisa waving her over made a feeling of relief wash over Terra - the brunette hesitated for only one second before making a beeline towards her bubblegum haired roomate. Nicolai was alredy there, but she supposed he was an ok guy. Nova on the other hand ... well, she didn't know him so she was neutral about his presence.

"... you can say it again." Terra sighed as she moved her eyes from Nicolai to Larisa. "It could have been worse, I guess." She finally shrugged, not really wanting to talk about what had happened.

The afternoon’s fresh breeze was a nice change of pace. Ramona took a deep breath of it, relieved that that simple action no longer caused a sharp pain inside her chest. The victory two days ago against the Grimm wasn’t a perfect one, but a victory nonetheless. A hard earned one from a life and death situation, even if she had known beforehand that their supervisor was always ready to jump in, the feeling was still real, as real as every similar fight for survival she had experienced. At the ordeal’s end, you appreciate the life you still get to live, and a victory counts no more than a nice bonus. Still, a triumph gave the victors a more than adequate pride and bragging right afterwards, addictive things that people like Ramona kept coming back for more.

Ramona didn’t come out unscathed. The fall broke one of her ribs, which she cursed every breath she took on the way back, leaning on Ivan. Thinking back now, she felt a little bad for him, considering that he spent more time in contact range with the Grimm and most likely had suffered some injuries himself, Ramona, of course, was too occupied with her damn injury to notice if he did.

Fortunately, the Academy’s medical facility Angel’s Peak was very competent. Which shouldn’t come off as a surprise considering what this school teaches. She was up and around with a fixed rib in no time with only some pain remained. Since then she had holed up in her room, absented from class with permission, partly to tend to her weapon and partly because she wasn’t a masochist enough to jog around with the pain aching in her chest.

Her break had come to an end just after two days. She was summoned to the gates of Haven Academy, fully armed with her rifle and the side arms she wasn’t able to bring along last time. Some of the faces there confirmed what she heard about the other groups: Grand had to interfere with their fight since they took too long to finish their preys. Ramona can’t help but feel somewhat superior to them, her group had finished the task nicely after all.

She noticed her teammate back then and decided to come over, she wouldn’t count on Grand to show up on time anyway. Terra was standing with a small group of her friend when Ramona approached. With a friendly wave, Ramona planted her rifle onto the ground and leaned lazily on it, she said to them.

“Let’s see if we could do well again this time around? I heard some were kicked out of the class last time, so it could be worse.”
She added the last part, in case they didn’t think their performance last time could qualify as “doing well”.

“You were splendid though, Terra.” Said Ramona, which was a polite thing to say since she didn’t pay that much attention to what the girl was really doing last time. She did think of Terra as a good teammate though, the girl didn’t endanger her and was still alive, those things alone mark her as good in Ramona’s book.

Faris stared back at Seong with tender eyes. To have someone being concerned of your well being was very touching. Despite his acidic tongue, Seong was a good friend, Faris thought to himself. He didn't want him to be too concerned, so he looked up and showed a weak smile to Seong. His eyes was only half open, so it might had the opposite effect.

"I'm good. Just a bit sleepy from last night. I'll be all right after moving about for a bit."

Not that he wanted to. Faris rather went to bed, but he knew he couldn't. Worst case scenario, he would need to drink coffee. Which he didn't like at all. He wasn't even a paladin yet. Building a caffeine immunity too early in life... he shuddered at the thought. Some people drink coffee like water. He didn't want to end up like that. He wiped his face and rubbed his eyes to raise his alertness of his surrounding. Now that he was more awake, he noticed that Seong was sitting cross-legged in front of him. He let go off his knee and copied him. From his eyes, Seong looked really concerned. Faris continued to eased his anxiety.

"Don't worry. I'll be sure not to extend myself. Not that I can make the chain net again."

That was the truth. The creation of net was a technique that require his utmost concentration and full power. His use of it was still immature, and the execution of the technique two days ago was still premature. If he was to try and make another net in his sleepy condition, the net would probably collapse half way, he would receive another fatigue backlash and became bedridden.

"That doesn't really sound bad?" He murmured to himself, still with half asleep tone.

Bedridden... sleep! Well, it will make other worried, so it wouldn't be too much of a good idea. But sleep sounds more beautiful than the singing of a siren right now... maybe it's not too much of a problem if it's only for a week? Maybe a few days? Before his thought went further down to La-la Land, Faris snapped out of his imagination.

"Ah, sorry. I'm fine. Just thinking to myself aloud," he said again with what he thought as a reassuring smile. He went back to fantasize about sleeping.

...no matter how one look at him, Faris was not fine.

  She wasn’t missing how Nicolai had almost chosen to ignore her instead. She raised an eyebrow but let the matter drop as he instead approached her after the hesitation. Strangely enough it seemed Terra had hesitated as well, what did she look like she was going to eat someone? Either that or she’d somehow offended the people she talked to the most recently. She didn’t remember being any different since, in all reality she was actually looking quieter in comparison since Glarey seemed to make it his personal mission to play cat and mouse with Grand.At least Qwin seemed ready to hang out.
  
  “Oh yeah I get that. I’m just hoping that we’ll actually be left to handle our own fights next time. Grand seemed to want to wait until we were finally working nicely as a unit to barge in and destroy our opportunity. Though I have no idea what went down in team three but it made Glarey willing to actually talk so he could grumble about Grand being Sexist or something so I’m guess it went pretty bad.”
  
  Larisa kicked off the ground leaving her weapon on the floor for now since it seemed none of her group was feeling chilling on the floor. She brought her arms up and stretched out before bringing them back down and rolling her neck. Though she’d managed to avoid injury she still had a muscle or two that she’d near pulled in the days after trying to train and reduce the time she used to zip around and land a hit. After all if you mess up then you gotta make sure that it doesn’t happen again. If it was speed they were lacking then it’s speed she’d build up.
  
  “A few got Sent away didn’t they? Ried and Emi. Well Ried at the least I know why. The dude freezed up something fierce. It’s probably for the best though he’s less likely to be hurt that way.”
  
  She let out a yawn as the mixture of the cool breeze and the warmth of the sunlight made her want to just take a nap until the teacher decided to show their face. Oh well it wasn’t like all the students were here yet either. Though she wondered if they would be leaving behind anyone who didn’t get here on time again. It’d be a problem if people started to make it a trend of being late. Heck it was a problem the first time they were late.
  
  “What do you think the teams will shuffle to this time? Anyone you guys wanna pair up with?”

  Eva was up in the tree watching it all happen. With a few final blows the fight was ended and Second started to walk back towards the gates. Eva sighed and jumped down from the tree to follow back to the academy. She had done nearly jack shit the entire time and had to be saved, which was bad considering her goal here. Why being kicked out of the school for bad performance was counter productive. Alas she had done what she had done and there was nothing to prevent that so now all she was left with was a silent walk back to the academy with Eva choosing to forgo any sort of conversation. Instead focusing on shifting her form back into her dirty blonde haired, brown skinned and short stacked self. Making sure she looked at the very least presentable attempting to wrangle her hair which had flown in just about every direction possible and then some during the fighting.
  
  By the time she reached the gates she was looking about back to normal when she realized that she forgot about something very valuable and important to her. 'My goddamn jacket. . .' She thought back to when this fighting began and she just left it on the ground, confident at the time that she would come back to return it. 'Should I go back to get it? no-' In that moment Eva cursed herself many times going so far as to insult herself. Because now some Grimm or god forbid another sentry was going to get their hands on that hand-sewn gift from the gods themselves.
  
  Alas she knew that there was not a thing she could do about it now. With a irritated frown Eva continued her walk slightly behind her group, now discontented with the entire situation she decided to stay silent as they got back to the academy.
  
  
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Timeskip ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Two days later and Eva found herself walking to the Haven Academy front gates with a small frown. She went through the thoughts in her mind today, she tried to get a new coat yesterday but it would take a very long time for the order to be custom made then delivered half-way across the continent. Not to mention it would be very expensive. Then her mind floated back to a few days ago to boot, her failure as a fighter.
  
  Eva was too proud to admit the obvious that she never admitted that day, and her failure was more than likely recorded in the minds of everyone has their first impression. Eva does not want to socialize with people who are already having negative opinions of her. The simplest way to her to avoid this was to cut herself off from most social contact. Seeing everyone else at the gate Eva simply stayed a couple feet away and kept herself away in her thoughts. Studying each person and wondering if they notice her, weather the answer was yes or no was not important but it was something to think about. She focused on her squad from two days ago the closest. It's worth noting she wasn't staring at them but was just thinking about them. Because no one likes a girl staring at them for minutes on end. . . ok almost no one.
  
  The most notable thing was her previous teammate Faris. . . the guy that kneecapped her a few days ago (Which Eva was still furious about but held her tongue) seemed to be exhausted. With his teammates offering him extensive help. The better question was why was he here if he could barely function without tipping over. A question Evaline answered with 'Can't miss a day' and continued with her observations that were lacking to say the least. She expanded her horizons to other groups, she was looking for someone. Someone that seemed to be the only person not here. Eva repeating the name in her head and associating it with a face just so she would not forget it, not because it was complex mind you but more because the name is common.
  
  After Eva's spell of thoughts that did nothing for the task at hand she decided to work out what they were doing here. Which after a solid few seconds of deep though staring into 'space' Eva came to the conclusion that this was going to be a practical examination. . . which was terrible. She couldn't imagine things would go any better if she was put with that group she was wedged into last time. Whom all had the coordination of a group of lemmings on a cliff-side who had just been exposed to a dose of high explosives. Eva's face scrunching up at the thought she started to worry about the whole thing way more than was mentally healthy. Most of the time she had a carefree attitude but who she was paired up with was important this time. If the 'who' in question would get here!

'Damn it, stop complimenting me people - I have no idea how to respond to that stuff.' Terra mentally cried as her lime green eyes darted in Ramona's direction. The other girl was probably just being polite ... wait, she wasn't being sarcastic, right? ... right. Terra bit her lip as she regarded Ramon with a confused look - she had no idea how to respond to the compliment, and just stayed silent for a few second before settling on: "Uh ... thanks. But it was Ivan and you who struck the final blow. If anyone from team A deserves praise, it's you two." She added in a somewhat akward manner.

"New team ..." Terra muttered as she subconsciously took a few steps to the side, so she would be closer to Gummy. Terra knew very well who she would like to have for teammates - but chances were they wouldn't end up on her team. With Terra's luck, she would probably end up paired with people she never spoke to on her team - well, she hadn't really spoken with anyone from Team A neither before nor after it was formed, except Ivan. So things were probably going to end up well this time around too ... hopefully ... maybe ... or not.

"As long as they don't end up kicking me out mid-mission because they got sick of me - I guess anyone is fine." Terra only half-joked. And there she was again - a marvelous example of pessimism at its finest.

Ivan Sablich
Haven's Gates

For some odd reasons, Ivan for the first time in a long time considered skipping class. It had been odd really. Two days ago he'd had the chance to kill one of many monstrosities and with the help of his team at the time everything had gone somewhat smoothly.

But if that was the case and he'd gotten a small fraction of his revenge why did it feel like he hadn't actually done anything except stab around blindly in a state of self-induced rage till something eventually died?

Rubbing his chin, Ivan couldn't figure out why he felt so empty after accomplishing something splendor. Surely he had more common sense than simply allowing rage to blind him the way it didn't right? What was wrong? Why wasn't he happy? This was a great thing to have happened but he didn't feel that great at all.

Ramona, if he recalled right, had been injured and he himself had suffered minor cuts and many bruises that had required healing. He was glad Terra and Able had managed little to no harm, but he wasn't stupidly happy about hearing how all the others had required intervention near the end.

It was somewhat odd also. He thought everyone else was wrapping up while they'd been (at least in his eyes) struggling briefly to get a hold of that underground monster.

Unsure of why he felt so empty despite the brief recollection of satisfaction he'd had at killing that horror, Ivan caught sight of the others still gathering around and with no sight of Grand he expected another delay in what was going to be most likely another practical lesson.

Looking around he spotted Seong and Faris first, then Larisa, Nic, Qwin, Terra, and Ramona's ensemble next before he turned and then somewhere not too far away, the new girl that had joined their class just a few days ago.

What was her name again? he squinted while staring at her and tried to recollect her name. His mother had told him it was very rude to forget people's names so he made it a habit to remember a person's name when they said it. In all honesty, he couldn't remember too much from two days back after Team A killed Menyerap. Everything more or less became a blur and if anything his memories were at their clearest from only the past thirty-four to forty-two hours.

Deciding it was best to wave instead of looking like he was intentionally eyeing Eva for no apparent reason (or a reason that could be quickly misconstrued and resulting in unwanted teasing), Ivan gave her a small, friendly smile, before turning his attention back to the others ahead of him- then patting his chest to make certain the necklace was where it should be under his black shirt. Once content with that he swung his hammer over his shoulder and gave Ramona and Terra both a friendly smile and nod. "Glad to see you're doing better Ramona." He'd wondered where she'd holed up in but at least she didn't seem to be struggling with breathing anymore.

"Always nice to see you Terra", Ivan nodded at the bunbun lass with a polite bob of his head, and then glancing to Nic and finally Larisa (whom he had no longer recalled sharing that rather odd embarrassing moment in class two days prior) he gave the two Rasporians his brightest grin and then said: "Anyone have a clue how long we'll be waiting here?"

  Yeah Faris was not alright despite what he was saying. Honestly the man’s claims weren’t surprising to him, Faris had always seemed more dedicated than Seong in his own mind. Still it was these moments that really stretched his patience, he couldn’t help but get angry when he felt that people were refusing to properly take care of themselves. After all this class couldn’t be too important, and anything that was could easily be copied from his notes, hell he even offered to write the set himself. Still he wasn’t going to force his friend back home, even if he could, but he’d be damned if he wasn’t going to do all he could to help him. He made sure that Faris was sitting and not going to fall over at any point before making a meaningful gesture to their other friends to watch over him, making sure that Faris didn’t see, while he walked away for a moment.
  
  “I’m going to be right back okay Faris. Don’t push yourself too much just rest up while you can.”
  
  When it came down to it that meant one thing, as much as he didn’t want to do it. For Faris he’d deal with it. When it came down to it he only really knew one other creator. If this was a Qin related thing then obviously he’d need someone who was used to it. He marched up to Ivan with purpose, without meaning to he found himself being aggressively loud with his footfalls. He nearly asked then and there if not for the fact that it seemed the golden boy was mister popularity right now. He barely waited for Ivan to be done with his sentence before he grabbed at his wrist. He hesistated after grabbing it looking directly into Ivan’s eyes still unable to get rid of his natural glare.
  
  “... I need to talk to you…”
  
  He stared back at the group of their classmates who seemed to be staring. He felt his scowl deepen as he started to pull at Ivan’s wrist suddenly far too aware of their presence. He couldn’t do it, not in front of some people that he’d been actively avoiding even talking near. He could feel his hands shake a bit even as he continued trying to drag him off.

Just as Nic was going to answer Larisa's question about who he would have liked to end up paired with, Vanilla boy had joined in with a big ass grin. Most people wouldn't feel uneasy by such a smile, but this was Vanilla boy grinning at the two Rasporians-- one of them he proposed to a few days ago. The Cat Faunus shifted his blue eyes over at Larisa then back at Ivan before tilting his head slightly to ask in a whisper that was both audible to her and Ivan if he cared. Possibly anyone else close enough to hear him.
"Did you two do it?"
He asked rather bluntly, a part of him joking without expression, another part of him actually considering it, then the last part of him that just found him to be oddly suspicious today. His ears perked up slightly at the sound of another student arriving and doing a quick headcount of who was here already. He spared nothing more than half second to glance over at the newer student who was added in Team C last second. How fitting of her to be one of the last few people at the gate as well . . . Speaking of Team C, his ears picked up on some more movement, except these steps was unnecessarily loud coming towards them.
On cue, Nic concentrated his aura into a fist inside of his jacket, turning to the source prepared for whatever was coming. He never thought he would be getting ready for the walking definition of angst. His fist relaxed, the aura returning to its natural flow as he raised an eyebrow at Seong. Even with his quiet tone, Nic's ears could pick up on his words to Ivan and the Peanut Gallery comment didn't sit right with him.
"He's far too boring to be treated as a toy," Nic stepped placing his left hand over on Ivan's arm just centimeters away from touching Seong's hold on him, "Surely there's enough decency in you to ask your classmate politely in place of you just dragging him around willy-nilly."
He removed his hand once his intention of halting him was fulfilled, letting his hand drop back into his pocket as he eyed Seong. Personally, Nic didn't care about why Seong wanted to talk to Ivan, nor did he care if Ivan was pulled away. He only wanted Ivan here because Seong didn't want him here, and he only wanted to hear why because Seong was not making it known why. Basically the fact that someone else was trying to hog Vanilla boy and whisper things made him want to take it in the same way a child only wants the toy when another child plays with it. There was also the fact he was bored just waiting around, and this seemed like a fun game to play.
"Why do you insist on pulling Vanilla away privately? Don’t tell me you’re planning on getting in between Larisa and his wedding vows.“ The last bit was a joke (mostly), he was mostly interested in unnerving Seong while also trying to get some information out of him. The information probably wasn’t dire, but it was still fun to collect it.​

  Larisa was semi curious as to how Terra could have such a low opinion of herself, the girl needed more confidence. A trip back to Razdor would do her good. She could already imagine Ambrosia taking the girl under her wing and turning up the heat until she was a fully fledged warrior carrying themselves with pride. Actually now that she was thinking about it she’d rather hoped she’d get to bring a few of her friends, and her hopeful suitor, to visit home. She gave the gal a playful knock to the shoulder. Terry had to relax while she could, heck the fact that she did well enough to stay while running on so little sleep was already a medal in its own right.
  
  “C’mon you’re way to hard on yourself Ter, Listen I bet you went out there and rocked it. And even so you’re only gonna get better since you’re trying. Its way more than some.”
  
  She’d turned as she heard the approaching steps of Ivan as he came to approach them. While part of her wished to throw down a solid challenge to the man she perked up as she was given a rather bright smile. So then he was flirting, and it wasn’t some insult the previous days. That was good to know, after all she’d heard that customs didn’t quite roll over well in different countries. Hell the Krugian customs didn’t always go well with their southern neighbors even. Though she did flush as Nicolai’s implications, she was by no means moving that fast. She did turn to whisper to him though a bit worried.
  
  “Is that typical already? Honestly he’s yet to even challenge me properly I thought it was just a cultural difference.”
  
  While she honestly was just as curious on just how long they were expected to wait before they were going to know what they were here for she was far more interested in the fact that Ivan was apparently becoming the center of a tug of war fast. Part of her wanted to kick back and see how he’d handle the situation, especially since there were less obvious roles for the Paladins, but another part of her was full on Nicolai’s side wondering just what he was being needed for. After all the boy hardly talked in the presence of others before. Even now she could hardly hear what he’d been saying.
  
  “Didn’t the two of you have a fight recently? Hey did you ever even talk to him before that are you… what’s that word... apologizing?”
  
  Oh nope definitely not that. She could see the boy stop from his light shaking and go stone cold. Well I suppose that got a reaction even if he just got ... upset? He was honestly such a weird case. She'd barely expected it when he started yelling.
  
  “I’m not apologizing, if anything he’s still in the wrong for that! … Wait no Shut up its not with any of you! Just stay out of it okay.”

Terra Ursula

Location: Outside Haven| Interactions: Gummy/Larisa & Seong ( BriiAngelic ) Ivan/the Knight in shining armour ( The Regal Rper )|Mentions: Nic ( August )

Honestly, Terra wanted nothing more than to pull Gummy in a giant bear hug - it was incredible how a few words from her could make Terra could raise her self-confidence in little to no time. However, Terra wasn't exactly comfortable with showing affection in public, - no matter if talking about friendship or romance - at least not yet. So, the brunette settled for throwing her roomate a bright smile, along with a quiet "Thank you" instead of the hug.

As they chatted, the group seemed to only grow - thankfully, seeing that their newest addition was Ivan, the girl was able to relax a bit more. "Likewise." she replied in a similar polite fashion. 'At least it's not a person I've never talked too.' She thought.

Her faunik ears were able to catch Nicolai's whispers - but she chose not to comment the matter. She didn't have the heart to tease Gummy about her possible crush, especially after she gave her such a confidence boost.

Soon enough, another pair of approaching footsteps made Terra's faunus ears twitch ever so slightly from underneath her double buns. The girl turned around quickly, only to find Seong - a person she had never had the chance to talk to. It seems he was her for the Knight in shining armour.

Terra couldn't help but raise a curios brow as she watched the tug of war between Nic and Seong over Ivan - it was like watching two small kids fight over a toy: amusing and annoying at the same time. She probably wouldn't have said anything and simply watched the scene go by, if it wasn't for Seong's next comment.

In the spur of the moment, she mistook his yelling toward the group as being exclusively for Larisa. A strange feeling of anger washed over her, making Terra take a bold step forward without even realizing it.

"Seong-Jin Kim." She called in an uncharacteristically cold and confident voice. For a few second she just stared at him with a neutral, somewhat intimidating stare ... before she finally realized what she had done. Terra blinked several times, her expression going from confident to the exact opposite in two seconds flat. "Uh ... umm ..." she muttered, an sheepish smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she raised her hands, as if to show she held no hostile intention. The sudden spur of anger and bravery had vanished as soon as it had came, and Terra was left in an extremely awkward and embarrassing situation. Why was dealing with people so hard?!

"Uhh ... I mean - let's not fight ... ok?" She asked in a small voice, feeling a sweat drop appear on the side of her forehead as her eyes moved from Seong to Ivan to Nicolai. "We should save our energy for whatever Professor Grand. has in store for us. I'm sure Seong has a good reason for coming here? We can talk this out nicely?" By the time she had finished her sentences the girl had already walked several steps backwards and hid behind Larisa.

'Oh dear, what have I done? Why did I have to open my mouth? Stupid.'

  She wasn't surprised in the least with the rather rude remarks that she got back. Honestly she felt the same way in that regard, apologies were for chumps that regretted their actions. What did surprise her was the volume he gained. Seems the kid did have vocal cords. She’d only heard him get loud like that twice prior, one of which was a mere two days ago. She put up a cocky grin near immediately about to throw back her own snappy remarks when Terra jumped in. She put a hand over her chest in a dramatic gesture of shock. Her smile immediately became more genuine.
  
  Though it only lasted an instant and then her hand flew back up to her mouth as she watched Terra have no clue what to do next trying not to audibly laugh. Realistically she’d jump back in but she rather wanted to see how Terra continued. After all she wasn’t just talking out of her ass when she said that the woman had this, Terra was just genuinely better than she thought. Still it wasn’t like Seong was all that logical, and Nicolai was actively teasing him. She gave Terra a pat on her back as she turned to shout to Faris and co. At the very least his own group should talk some sense into him
  
  “Hey Smiley, Nerd, and Lanky! Any of you guys wanna come deal with your boytoy?”
  
  She heard some sputters from the Boy in question but choose to ignore it as she went to approach them. She dodged out of the path of Seong as she heard a quick, “Don’t bother him he’s tired!”. She could clearly tell that one of them looked ready to pass out at any point, which while worrying was perfect for the situation at hand. She squatted down in front of him making sure to gain his attention.
  
  “No really though do you know why he’s decided to randomly grab Ivan? He’s usually super mousey to most of us, how do you guys even get him to talk?”

  Eva continued to examine her surroundings closely. Her eyes darting across the yard to each person. She was mentally trying to match a face with the one she had tried to learn earlier. Ivan A bunch of faces, yet none were the one Eva was looking for. She was starting to think she would miss her chance, that he might of skipped the class. Which would put a damper in her plans. The thought of having to find another time made her palms sweaty with stress.
  
  Then she found a face that matched with the one in her head. She only noticed it at first from the pair of eyes squinting at her. Much like she was to him. It was actually pretty awkward if it wasn't necessary to her. She not that far away but he waved instead of approaching. Waving back would have been the right move, but Eva had not had a good recent history of right moves. So why break that streak of bad decisions she thought with a cocky grin. A few steps to follow Ivan, she quickly merged into the mass of people surrounding Ivan. She had a more withdrawn posture, not too withdrawn. It was not exactly inviting to talk to her but she didn't seem like that she was overwhelmed. Her smirk was turned into neutral face the closer she got to the crowd.
  
  Inside her head Eva knew that Ivan was naturally not a social bug, much like her. Unlike her Ivan seemed to have a charm that she lacked. The fact he was about to be dragged off by someone was proof enough that somebody liked him a little too much at the moment. She was about to approach Ivan from behind but it seems like everyone was busy to just about to tear somebody near him. The person in question was. . . er- him. It is worth mentioning they were about to tear the guy who grabbed Ivan apart verbally. Eva seriously doubted anyone here had the heart to tear apart a human being in more a more literal sense.
  
  Now that everyone was focused on. . .Song? Shong? Saong? She wished that she paid attention to names a bit more but atleast she knew one. She tapped Ivan on the shoulder from behind and realized the massive height difference between the two. Being only 5'3" she was caught off guard by how high she had to reach just to touch his shoulders. Alas atleast she wasn't as short as that kitsune from earlier. That would be torture.
  
  Her mind clear of tangents Eva tapped Ivan's left shoulder twice from behind with her index and middle finger. Then returned to her neutral position. When he did she would introduce herself politely. Trying to ignore all of the ambient noise and have a nice conversation.
  "Hey- Ivan is it? I'm L-Eva."
  It may have taken a second for him to turn around though. There was a ton going on and Ivan could be simply overwhelmed. Eva took the wise decision for once and decided to be patient. Hopefully someone wouldn't drag him off before he could even get a word in.

"Hm?"

Faris had been staring at the ground for a while now. Well, staring wouldn't be the correct word since he closed his eyes. It wasn't exactly sleeping either since he was very aware of what happened around him, thank you very much. Half sleeping, then? Yes, that would be an apt way to describe it. His own dreams had been mixing with auditory stimulation from his environment for a while, so he was both awake and sleep!

Congratulating himself for drawing a conclusion of his own situation, Faris let a lazy smile appeared on his face. Larisa, was it? Ah, to have her face so close. He wished he brought his drawing of her with him. That would be a nice reference. Oh, wait. She asked him a question. Something about Seong and why sodium's symbol is Na.

"I don't really know? Seong told me to stay here and sleep so I did. have no idea about the sodium, though. Maybe it's a scientific name? Like aurum for gold, but I can't really remember now." Faris tilted his head a bit to the right and closed his eyes as he let his smile became wider slightly. Ah, the person is beautiful. His drawing can't picture reality perfectly. What a shame. Oh wait-

"Do you think you can ask Ivan to hold you in a princess carry again?"

That was it! If he could get a better look, he could draw better! What a perfect plan.

"Maybe put your faces a bit closer? It's a shame he only holds you for several seconds. A picture will be nice, too. Or is that too much?"

Of course it's too much!

The retort was made by the voice of reason in Faris' mind. Unfortunately, the voice of reason was drowned in the irregular steam of daydreams and idle thoughts. Faris wandered happily down the path to Wonderland.

  It was inevitable that he was going to get this kind of reaction really. He knew this but he still was rather hoping that he have Ivan willingly just come along with him. After all it wasn’t like he was even taking him far! He just wanted to ask few quick questions in private but like always it seemed that people just couldn’t mind their own business. The accusations! Well actually those were deserved in a way… But it wasn’t his fault that the teacher’s pet had somehow become popular! Heck weren’t they just making fun of him the other day? Or were they… People were too complicated and this is why he stuck to his group. Nua was the brightest ray of sunshine and always was the easiest to understand, Able may have been impossible to follow but he made his intentions clear. And Faris? Faris was easily the biggest hidden mom friend. He’d already did so much for them so he was not gonna let these idiots stop him from getting Faris some possible help.
  
  He’d fully intended to just bolt out some lie to throw Nicolai off and and direct Ivan back with him. So naturally that didn’t happen. He took offense to the idea that he would apologize for supporting his friends. Even knowing that Larisa had no idea what they’d been fighting about since she was too busy with fake grimm at the time didn’t cool his annoyance. Before he knew it he was shouting at them all. “I’m not apologizing, if anything he’s still in the wrong for that! … Wait no Shut up its not with any of you! Just stay out of it okay.” He knew it wasn’t a smart idea from the time he said it but it was too late to take it back anyways.
  
  When Terra hopped in he’d known he fucked up. The girl was constantly doing the nice person thing. He was half upset at himself for making her angry especially since she’d reminded him of his sister belting out the full name stop. Heck even the pacification and mediation was similar, only difference was that these guys were not his brother which meant he was already on edge. This wasn’t a friendly jab, he just wanted to talk to a classmate. While he’d been admittedly bad with the approach he didn’t need every classmate jumping down his throat.
  
  It wasn’t until the useless woman from the team the other day came up attempting to chat up his target that he really flipped. Are you actually kidding right now? The nuscience was one of the reasons Faris was so bad right now and she wanted to get in the way of him trying to get him help. Nope not gonna happen that wasn’t going to fly in his books. He let go of Ivan’s wrist and turned to the woman.
  
  “Okay no, nope none of that fuck right the fuck off right now.”
  
  He turned back to his other classmates who he’d gotten far more acquainted with in the previous months. He did his best to let the annoyance with the woman drop from his face as he turned and addressed the group. Even with his natural scowl he lightened his tone enough that it was clear he was being more friendly.
  
  “Sorry about… Sorry about that but I really do need him and I’ll explain later but Faris isn’t doing well and it’s that damn imp of a woman’s fault. So bother her okay?”
  
  After he said his piece he’d yanked on Ivan hard lifting him half over his back as he used his qin to stick the man to his side. He pulled Ivan away the best he could and left them behind as he went back to Faris, Nua, Able and Larisa now he supposed.

  Hmmm actually yes this explained a bit. Sort of maybe. She still wondered just what exactly Seong was planning with Ivan but at least now she knew why he was willing to speak with them at all. If Faris was in this kind of shape then realistically he should probably be asleep right now and not getting ready for another practical. After all she barely knew Faris heck he was only remarkable in that he was one of the few taller than her and even she was ready to send him packing. She’d not seen someone this tired from their qin since seeing Lady Margarita defend them from the swarm of Grimm back when she’d been younger and reckless.
  
  She couldn’t even take him too seriously even with the princess carry comment when he’d started babbling about the science of sodium? Or scientific names? She found it ridiculous a thing needed only one name, anything more was an unnecessary add on. She tilted her head to the side as the man made more suggestions. Was he… what was the word? A voyeur? Hmmm he would have got along well with her Grandmother. She knelt down to get at eye level with the man. Yup that was definitely an unfocused gaze. She placed her hand on his forehead doing some of the most basic things she could remember from her first aid class.
  
  He wasn’t overheating and while he was daydreaming it didn’t show any of the typical signs she’d been shown for a concussion. While it wasn’t smart that he go and do heavy physical activity he was by no means going to have permanent damage. She bet at least part of it was due to not getting enough sleep, though maybe that’s why the boy told him to nap? She kinda wondered why no one excused him after Monday’s practical. In reality he’d likely be on his way to being better if the teachers had just taken care of him immediately.
  
  “Wow you’re really out of it. I wonder if our teachers are sadistic enough to send you out again. Dude just what went down in group three?”
  
  “The stupid shits gave us two dead-weight girls to take care of that’s what. Faris and Nua had to carry them along and were hindered because of it. He’s tired like this from saving their asses.”
  
  Oh that was interesting now. She turned to see that seong had managed to get his objective done and was now half dragging half carrying Ivan along. Now this was going to be an fun day. She wished she had a camera to capture the look on his face, not to mention the rest of their classmates as well. She burst out in a hearty giggle as they approached.
  
  "Oh man you guys look hilarious! Ter come look!"

Things didn't exactly go as he had imagined it, he was slightly peeved about everyone else stepping in but at the same time, he was amused by this whole thing. Even Terra had spoken up-- she backed down immediately after due to her personal flaws but it was nonetheless adorable and not even Nic could think of something to say in response to it. Not that he would have with everyone suddenly jumping in on the bandwagon.
This wasn't fun, if anything it annoyed him because he just wanted to poke fun at Seong as payback for being called a Peanut Gallery and now the toys he brought to the playground have been nabbed by other children. He did get to see something interesting from it though. Seong had spoken up and even tried to apologize, but more importantly, there was a clear disdain for Eva.

The girl who had just shown up, the same girl who joined last second in the team exercise had weaseled her way in to try to get a share of Vanilla Boy. Who knew he'd be such a popular flavor all of a sudden? First Larisa, then Seong, and now this girl? Something must be in the water . . .
Nic had an idea for why Seong wanted Ivan after Larisa had walked over to take a look at Faris and the bits he heard from Seong complaining after pulling Ivan away. He didn't know why Evtra wanted him, and if she wasn't suspicious already this would have put her on the list. It probably wasn't any of his business and the girl could just have a crush on Ivan but he still couldn't help but want to look into it.

Since no one was really paying attention to him, Nic spared a glance off in the distance, holding his gaze for a few seconds before turning away with a sigh. If only he had more than just Larisa as a classmate to whisper stuff too he could probably figure out things quicker since it'd be more than one head processing it. It was probably just Evtra wanting a taste of Vanilla, but there was no harm in looking into it. He'd be entertaining his curiosity and maybe expand his circle, two birds with one stone as some would say.
With the man of the hour whisked away, Nic turned his attention to Eva;
"Trying to make friends with Vanilla over there?" He asked dully, his shoulders slouching. "Looks like he's been pulled out of your reach, maybe next time right?"

  Eva couldn't imagine this went how Seong imagined it. Every seemed to be dog-pilling on him. She could see Faris talking none sense behind the crowd but people seemed to already be helping more than she could with her knowledge. She had to worry more about talking to Ivan, she had a reason beyond petty things such as romance. Eva watched in amusement until Seong's tirade turned it's sights on her. Eva felt the rage bubble up inside her. She wanted to say something in anger to Seong. A novel of insults and things to say started to fly into her had and just as fast as those flew into her head the novel closed.
  
  She wouldn't let her emotions control her in this situation. Eva just watched with uncaring eyes. He could yell at her as much as he wants. People don't get irritated for no reason and chances are he has his own reasons. She had her own goals in mind and if one person didn't like her so be it. Her thoughts still dwelled on it but it was nothing a couple seconds could take away. In those few seconds of dwelling she got her thoughts sorted. It took her a few second of standing still and making sure everybody was categorized in her mind about how they feel about her.
  
  After some collection of her thoughts she came to the conclusion that all she had to do was keep in mind that Seong disliked her. Now that he was done directing fury at her she could continue doing what she wanted to do. For the moment she could loosen her posture. Her shoulders slumping into a less tense posture from her posture while being yelled at. Her body still tensed up with the loud noises. Despite how hard she tried to override her bodies natural fear, that made her tense. Looking so tense and letting it effect her posture made her look weak. Being 5'3" didn't help this fact. She had gone off on a tangent mentally though. She had to get to the point, she had things that she needed to do instead of standing still and looking into the distance again. Faris was in need and while she did kneecap her earlier that was no reason to just not help him.
  
  On her way to help Faris Eva started to plan what she would do in her head when she heard the boy next to her talk to her directly. She stopped, curious why he was talking to her. She didn't recognize the catboy at all. She shouldn't turn down the chance to make a friend, besides he looked like a interesting and enjoyable sort to be around. Not to mention she is her right. Who knows, maybe they can be short buddies!
  
  Eva replied to him in a happy tone. Her hands moving as she talked to emphasize that she was 'dissapointed' though her ton and body language said it was more of a 'oh well' moment. "I guess. They just literally dragged him off" Eva looked over to the catboy with a grin. Happy that someone here would be a little more hospitable. The whole situation was funny to her, maybe the catboy could relate. First things first she needed a name to match the face with. "So names Eva. How about you?"

Location: Outside Haven| Interactions: Gummy/Larisa ( BriiAngelic ) A zombie/Faris ( Damafaud )|Near: many people

'Well ... that could have gone wayyy worse' Terra thought, letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding in. At least Seong didn't choose to direct his anger at her - he didn't seem like such a bad guy; after all, he was only trying to help his friend ... Then again, if she hadn't hid behind Larisa and if a certain blonde girl hadn't made her appearance, things would have probably ended up very differently. Oh well, as someone once said, "All is well when it ends well."

Speaking of well, Faris -if Terra remembered the name correctly- didn't look well at all. The brunette could sympathize with his zombie-like state - she was exactly like this during her first few weeks at the academy. Now that she though about it, the two of them were quite alike: they both transformed in zombies when they were tired and they both had a troublemaker friend who helped them cope with their situation.

'Huh, maybe we could be friends ... that is if I ever work up the nerve to initiate conversation'

Looking at him, the protective 'mother bear' side of Terra wanted to go and help Faris, but her pessimistic and asocial side didn't dare approach a man she had never spoke too. The fact that Faris stated sprouting nonsense the second he opened his mouth didn't help either. Despite all this, Terra still took a chance and tried to talk to the other - Faris was probably too tired to even properly understand what she was saying anyway - how bad could it end up?

"Sleep is the best medicine - although I don't think you'll have time for that. You might want to try cinnamon coffee." She said, giving Faris and sympathetic look, before her asocial side took over again. "I mean, only if you want to - I know not everyone likes coffee and cinnamon and where would you even get it from so fast ... yeah, uhhh ... you know what, forget it." OK, so the conversation could end up being an awkward kind of bad. Got it.

Luckily, before she could embarrass herself any further, Gummy saved her - yet again.

Terra quickly took several steps towards Lary and examined the scene in front of her closely - it was pretty funny, but the ones causing said scene probably found the situation less amusing. The girl shook her head, letting a small chuckle escape her lips. "I will never get you people." She muttered, shaking her head in an amused manner. "On the other hand - looks like several people ship you and Ivan. Congrats - invite me to the wedding if Seong doesn't steal him from you again?" She joked as she watched Ivan being dragged away by Seong.

'Maybe I could get used to this. This mess ... is surprisingly pleasant to watch.'

• 
  The sound of metal shifting rang loudly in the air as tumblers turned and Haven's gates were pulled to the side by unseen forces.
  
  A single navy blue limousine and one truck that carried four vehicles drove into the ash colored road. The truck, a behemoth, contained a single mechanical compartment on its side and it drove straight towards the distant group of students for several feet before veering off onto a open, empty parking lot where one of its four passengers opened the door and hopped out of the back seat and began moving around to the compartment to fiddle with its levers in the distance.
  
  While Axle Corps employees worked to free three lengthy cars and one motorbike, the limo drove up to the gathered class and parked.
  
  When the doors opened, only three people came out. Grand, a man of greenish complexion with two very visible lower fangs poking out of his mouth, barely hidden by his bottom lip, and a Faunus. But not just any Faunus, this was a bear Faunus. And the rich, light brown woman strode forward in polished boots, shoulder to shoulder with Prof. Grand and the other unique looking man as they walked up the road towards the class. Meanwhile the limousine they had exited from took off towards a different street that led somewhere else in the school. In the distance the sound of metal screeching could be heard as the mechanics and tinkerers worked with the compartment device to free the vehicles from their bonds.
  
  Prof. Grand stayed beside both the Faunus woman of pure white hair and the unique, most likely Mystic fellow. It took them but a few minutes or two to get to the class and the whole time the three moved they talked, but in hushed tones.
  
  The whole time they talked Ursa's bright teal blue eyes, never once left the class. She looked from Terra to Ramona. Qwin to Faris, Seong who stood nearby with Ivan. Then to Eva and Larisa, before her mystic crystal pools fell on Nic. And they looked at each and everyone of them for only a second before she gave the class her warmest, sun bathing smile.
  
  "I see Sir Augustus has his work cut out for him. Augustus here tells me you all had quite a hectic time for your first official lesson. I'm glad to see most of you were able to make it today." The headmistress said in the kindest of tones and then for a second paused.
  
  "Allow me to introduce myself again", both hands -one natural, the other robotic and made of various metals and alloys- moved from her back and the Faunus took a gentle bow with her arms stretched out at the sides and her palms facing forwards, "my name is Ursa Callista. Perhaps it's unnecessary given I introduced myself in your inauguration into the Academy, but I thought it be best to introduce myself again." She rose back up and then brushed a forelocl from her eyes. "It is a pleasure to meet the Grand class of Sir Augustus."
  
  If anyone had noticed- Prof. Grand's neutral mask of impassiveness, shattered for one brief second when his lips briefly twitched down to a frown when he heard that pun.
  
  "Tim", the bear ears perked as the Faunus turned to the burly looking fanged man, "the floor is yours."
  
  Taking a step back, Tim took a step forward as he and the Headmaster switched places.
  
  "Pleasure ta meetcha." The green man said with a curt nod. "Name's Tim. Tim Berkin of Burmak. Now let's get down to business- Grand?"
  
  "Today", Prof. Grand began, "you all begin your patrols. And just like before I will be putting you into your new teams. In your patrols you all will switch teammates now and again to get familiar with each other's fighting styles and get used to the concept of fighting alongside people you hardly know and adapting to those circumstances."
  
  "For the record", Tim spoke up, his 'for' sounding like 'fur', "I'll be yer instructor but this time I'm goin to have assistants."
  
  Ursa smiled. "You'll be under the guide of your seniors. It's not something we usually do but recent events require we make changes this year."
  
  "Right." The Mystic nodded then turned his natural glare towards the class, "This year we'll be havin ya work under yer seniors. In this case you'll be working with three 3rd years."
  
  "Speaking of which- where are they?" a white brow of Grand's rose as he spoke.
  
  "Kids will be kids" was Ursa's simple reply.
  
  "Well we don't have time to wait." And with that said Tim pinched his thumb and index finger together and blew a loud whistle that echoed across the courtyard.
  
  "Oi! Get your asses down here now!"
  
  For a moment there was silence. Then there was a distant image that glittered from the sky above.
  
  It was hard to see at first but as it got closer and closer there was only one thing the figure seemed to be, and that was a giant, water dragon.
  
  A water dragon that flew straight towards the group in a phenomenal speed till all of a sudden the dragon disappeared in an explosive burst of light that came from its back.
  
  The dragon, exploding with that light- turned into glittering raindrops that fell softly to the ground.
  
  And with those glittering raindrops there were three people at the center- three people who collapsed into lightning with a thunderclap and went rushing towards the glittering center before they too exploded, scorching the ashen middle ground and bringing with them glittering precipitation.
  
  For a moment everyone was blinded by the light. But soon that passed. And when it did glittering sprinkles of rainbow color fell in the air as three people stood in the center
  
  A Mystic, a chimera, and a human stood on scorched ground. And they all walked towards the group in quiet, nonchalant calm. As if they'd done that many times before.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  She waited until The headmaster had arrived before taking the opportunity to circle around the students knowing full well that only her colleagues would notice. She waited until the third years had arrived before dropping the cloaking. She let out a slow clap as she walked closer to the group a glare on her face as some of the students had turned to her.
  
  “Your first mistake of the day is assuming that you would be met here and thus relaxing far more than you had any right to do. Had I been scoring you based on your defenses or logic you’d have all failed. Your failures the other day may not have fully sunk in did they? For one you have someone who can barely stand and yet somehow you start petty squabbles?”
  
  And thus the final piece had made it's entrance.
  
  "Glad you decided to join us Miss Kim." Was Grand's only reply.
  
  "Miss Min-Seo Kim", Ursa began and as she said the name her eyes moved to Seong and there was a twinkle of mischief thst could barely be seen, "is your training instructor. And she will be attending with Himiko to ensure everything goes smoothly." Ursa explained with a welcomed bow of her head at Min before turning back to the class.
  
  "Now then, how about we get this briefing out of the way?"
  
  
  
  
  
  The idea was simple. The third years would lead their designated groups into particular jobs they had picked up prior to meeting the class this morning. Prof. Grand had introduced the three, the Kitsune was Himiko, the Hellhound was Shulg, and the human was Terrance.
  
  The initial plan had been to split the groups in three but things didn't exactly go as planned with how odd the numbers looked. Some were missing, and a few had ended up coming in late. It was Ursa and Tim who stated that they should just move on and let the late ones sit this session out.
  
  Tardiness wasn't appreciated. And Min was very much inclined to agree as she studied thrle class with narrowed scrupulous eyes. Meanwhile,Tim grumbled quite a bit as he watched Grand sort everything out.
  
  It was his class after all and he wanted to organize the teams but Grand having taught the class once, was undoubtedly more suited for arranging them.
  
  Didn't mean he had to like it.
  
  Himiko and Min were to supervise Nic, Ivan, Faris, Rivor, Qwin, and Seong.
  
  While Terrance and Shulg were to supervise Larisa, Terra, Eva, Ramona, and Nua.
  
  The groups were made. The teams were set
  And everyone began getting arranged to leave Haven and tackle the big world beyond it's gates.
  
• 
  The trip to Kishin District, located in Kuchinashi city had taken a total of ninety-three minutes. From Haven there had been a long car ride where both groups had split up, and then from Mantle Metro Station there had been a long rail ride to the Kuku Rail Station. But before that, there had been arguing.
  
  Arguing between Shulg and Terrance on which one of them, would get the motorbike and which would get the car.
  
  In the end neither had gotten the motorbike as Tim had gotten tired of their bickering and both ended up in the same car with their group.
  
  Nua, Terra, Ramona, Larisa, and Eva were in for a treat. At least from what Terrance had said their group would be getting to participate in something usually only reserved for the Wards. Coincidentally enough, Shulg happened to be on the path to becoming a Ward himself, a comment Terrance made that had earned the ash haired young man a smack in the back of the head from Shulg which was returned by a punch from Terrance to the jaw and ended with a painful smacking sound coming from the contact Shulg's tail made with his comrade's back.
  
  Kishin District, as Terrance had explained -after some wheezing and a moment of recovery- on the car ride, was a place often known for having odd paranormal activity in the throes of the late afternoon and night. The residents of the area, as a result, tended to avoid venturing around much anywhere in the neighborhood from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. going. It was almost a city curfew. It was a place where weird things happened and had to be seen to be believed and thus was a place of much folklore and tale. Rumors rarely left the city itself because the kind of stories you'd hear didn't even make sense in a world where demons perpetually popped up to harass the inhabitants of the world-- and if the Kishin District was a place that could weird out a weird world like Sigma, then it was perhaps a good thing most of the folklore in the area stayed in the area.
  
  The PSA, otherwise known as the Paranormal Surveillance Agency handled most paranormal issues in the area (among other places). And the times the 'ghost busters' couldn't then they would call a Paladin in to handle the tough cases their agents didn't have the chance of coming back alive from.
  
  This case as Shulg had explained, involved spiders. Big spiders. Man-eating spiders. Spiders that were in no shape or form normal and in every shape and form sapient. Interestingly enougj the Chimera had winked thst every thing would be just fine.
  
  Maybe.
  
  But their first stop- was Sam Robbins Fine & Dine cellar. Where a body had been discovered in the cellar where all the alcohol was stored.
  
  Shulg, Terrance and co had been led into the dining area which was closed off by yellow tape and many people wearing black and brilliant yellow suits and masks. There had been a issue with allowing the first years in as they were not cleared.
  
  The issue was solved when Shulg and Terrance reached into their pockets and whipped out their badges for all to see.
  
  Clearance had never gone so smooth.
  
  The body howeber was another story. Shulg took a step towards the underground vellar and was rewarded with a powerful stench that made one of the PSA agents accompanying them gag despite the filtered mask and made Terrance make a face of disgust.
  
  As a Ward only Shulg was allowed to go in. The agents refused anyone else entry and no amount of badge flashing seemed to change their mind. Protocols has to be followed, and so Shulg went in and didn't come out for awhile. Leaving Terrance and the rest upstairs till eventually they were all herded back outside.
  
  Sam Robbins Fine & Dine had once been a polished establishment. Now the building sat almost lopsided- with one giant hole appearing from it's side and many cracked holes pounded into the ground.

  Aragon District was a tidy place and for a city know for being a hub of industrialism it wasn't as busy as you'd expect. There were people walking by here and there but most were in a hurry. A rush to get from one place to the next- such was the life of a captalist environment.
  
  Walking the open streets- Himiko explained while everyone listened.
  
  "Aragon District is divided into sections. Three particularly with each section being the turf of gangs. The Valieres hold the most and they have a few members that visit here now and then to ensure their territory isn't touched and they maintain their control. Gangs in this district are like the police. The handle most of the crimea activity here and also aide us Paladins in handling Grimm activities from time to time.
  
  "Recently though there's been odd activity between the Phoenix Ring and the Valiere's. Some say members of the Phoenix Ring were paid a heavy fee and given multiple supplies to launch an attack on the Valieres and for a long while the small group has been butting heads with the Valiere's since they kicked them out of their territory and took control of the District's west region."
  
  "Our job is to watch out for any casualties. The fights between them have been getting heated recently and dangerous for the civil folk." Min picked up. "So keep your eyes and ears open. And try not to mess things up."
  
  Just as soon as he said that gunshots rang in the distance

Location: Outside Sam Robbins Fine & Dine| Team: BriiAngelic (Gummy/Larisa) Elenion Aura (Too good to be true/Nua) The Regal Rper (Call the police and a fireman/Shulg & Terrance) Lappi (Eva) Mqueserasera (Ramona)

'If I was born a guy, my parents would have probably named me Terrance ...' Were the first words to pass through her head.

Terra felt the need to mentally face-palm. From all the things her brain could have come up with - this was the one thought which kept buzzing at the back of her head for the past ninety-three minutes, in an annoying manner, like a mosquito you couldn't kill even with the power to one-punch any villain.

'Seriously-' Terra mentally scolded herself '-I should be more worried about whether or not we will be able to work as a team, about what creatures we are going to face, about how I will be forced to spend my time near hot guys ... Wait, what?'

Terra felt the need to double face-palm this time around. As if she wasn't having a enough of a hard time socializing as it was - now the hell that was teenage hormones decided to suddenly add to her pile of worries. Great. Just freaking perfect. Couldn't she have simply mulled over the name resemblance for a while longer?

Luckily, all of those petty worries were pushed to the back of Terra's head when they arrived at Sam Robbins Fine & Dine.

For the first time in months, Terra felt the urge to do one of the things she was secretely best at: sneak around. She really wanted to follow Shulg in order to see the scene of the crime ... Being cooped up in Nuxvar for 18 years had made Terra into an extremely curious person when it came to seeing new locations - even disturbing, gut-wrenching ones.

However, the possibility of being caught - which could lead to something even worse - expelled, kept the faunus at bay. If Terra ever did something bad enough to ger herself kicked out of the academy she would have nowhere left to go - even she had enough pride not to run back home with her tail between her legs. So the girl simply waited for Shulg to come back.

"I always knew the spiders would one day come to get revenge." Terra couldn't help but mutter under her breath as her lime green orbs examined the holes around the building. "So what now?" she asked aloud, but didn't dare to meet neither Shulg's nor Terrence's eyes. She was still lowkey intimidated by them.
