Silver Lining (A STRQ Reader Story)

Beacon's Pseudo Police Force

I awoke the next morning to sound of my scroll going off.

Sil: 'I could have sworn I turned my alarm off last night'

I checked to see why my scroll had gone off.

Summer: Sillllll are you awake yet

Sil: 'Oh it's 10 already. STRQ's already in class'

Sil: I guess I am now, thanks by the way

Summer: Oh sorry I thought you'd be awake by now

Sil: I never really had to wake up early if I didn't want to back home so I'm kind of used to sleeping in

Summer: Oh yeah you were homeschooled

Sil: So did you need something or can I go back to bed now

Summer: Don't you have class in a couple of hours

Sil: Yeah?

Summer: So then don't go back to sleep you'll be more tired when you actually have to get up

Sil: I'll keep that in mind now back on topic what did you need

Summer: Can't I just be checking up on you to see if you're ok?

Sil: You're bored in class aren't you

Summer: Was it that obvious......

Sil: Bye Summer

Summer: WAIT, PLEASE IM BORED OUT OF MY MIND AND I HAVE NO ONE ELSE TO TALK TO

Sil: You have a whole team....

Summer: Tai's asleep , Qrow's staring off into space and Raven's actually paying attention

Sil: Did the teacher actually give a lesson? I thought they were taking it easy this week

Summer: She said that this is her version of easy. This is my worst subject too

Sil: Great now I have to actually do school work today, Who would of thought I'd be doing school work at a school

Summer: Yeah why can't we just swing our weapons around all day, OH THE TEACHERS COMING I'LL SEE YOU AT LUNCH

Sil: 'I guess I should get up now'

I got out of bed and did my morning routine consisting of brushing my teeth , showering and getting dressed into the Beacon uniform. After that I made my bed before sitting on it again.

Sil: 'I have some time to kill before lunch. I should practice my semblance'

While training under Maria I had discovered what my semblance was. At first it would kick in randomly at random projectiles. Maria had shown me a method to get better at focusing it. She gave me a small ball the size of a typical ping pong ball and told me to position myself in a room with no open exits. Then I would be asked to chuck the small ball at a random wall or surface. I would then have to catch the ball wherever it bounced. The ball wasn't a regular ball though. It was made to be extremely bouncy so once it hit a surface it would bounce bunch of times making it difficult to catch for a regular person. This helped me to not only predict trajectory quickly but to catch moving objects. I made it into a game. I would try to catch it on a specific bounce that I had picked before hand. There was an alternative version of the game that father showed me. This time I would throw the ball moderately hard in which it would be literally bouncing off the walls. This time however instead of attempting to catch it, I would be using my semblance to dodge the ball. This helped my endurance , speed and reaction time.
