Inside the rooms of a lecture hall, desks surround the center stage in a university-like setting. Amongst those seated in the hall, a uniformed and sleeping Jaune can be seen, with his head resting on his hands. Lecturing them from the center stage is Professor Bartholomew Oobleck, who is constantly talking and zooming about the stage as if he has drunk 10 cups of coffee-
Scratch that, make that 11 cups of coffee that he might have consumed.
Seated around him are most of the students from the cafeteria, most notably Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Cardin's team, Velvet's team and Task Force 101.
"Yes! Yes, prior to the Faunes Rights Revolution - more popularly known as the Faunas War-"
(Volt thought, now there's a f***en WAR about them too? Glad we took the pacifist way)
"-humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie," Prof. Oobleck said as he points at the map of said-area with his stick, then zooms off to the side for a sip of his coffee before appearing in front of the desk.
"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!"
He zooms around the classroom more, sipping his coffee again before continuing to zoom and talk.
"Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?"
Some of the students seated had raised their hands. Velvet, after some hesitation, does the same. Volt was almost inclined to do it as well, since his kind were discriminated in the past.
"Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!" Oobleck says as he takes another sip of his coffee, turning to write something on the board behind him. Stryker leans over to Eagle.
"How many cups of coffee do you think the kerl had?" he whispered.
"Dunno. I'm surprised he didn't get the usual side effects of Nausea," Eagle whispered back.
Back on the stage, Prof. Oobleck whirled around and addressed the crowd of students.
"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?" he asked.
Weiss raises her hand.
"Yes?"
"The battle at Fort Castle,"
"Precisely! And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?"
Unseen by the professor, Cardin flicks a paper football at Jaune's head, causing him to wake up.
"Hey!" he shouts.
"Mr. Arc!" Oobleck exclaims, zooming up to his face. "Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?"
"Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... that the Faunus..."
Jaune looks behind Oobleck's focused face at Pyrrha, who coughs and motions to her lips as she gives him the answer.
"...had over that guy's stuff..."
Before Pyrrha could do anything else, Hunter (who just so happened to sit behind her) motioned Jaune to look at him. He donned his goggles and subtly tapped the sides of them. Almost immediately, a greenish tint had covered over the monotonous black tint the goggles had. Jaune, thanks to some movies and tv shows he had watched in his lifetime, picked up on what he was hinting on.
