Joshua is now in Stacy's classroom holding a bag of ice on his left shoulder. Turns out that Stacy has a strong grip. She might have slightly dislocated his shoulder from dragging him across the academy to her classroom. She had finished teaching for the day and was able to use it without any interruptions.
She was not in a good mood.
Stacy: So... mind telling me what happened!?
Joshua: I defended someone.
Stacy: I know that! But slamming a guy's head repeatedly into a wall!?
Joshua: They were going to violate her.
Stacy: I understand, but the way you handled it was excessive!
Joshua: They attacked first, I acted in self defense. Now if you'll excuse me I need to remove these bandages and apply new ones.
He gets up and tries to leave but Stacy stops him and looks at him
Stacy: Graham, stop and sit down.
Joshua glares at Stacy but relents and sits down.
Joshua: Sorry.
Stacy: What happened back there?
He looks down ashamed
Joshua: It was a momentary lapse of control.
Stacy: It's fine. I was angry at you, but now I'm concerned.
Joshua: Why?
Stacy: It's just with everything that's been happening in Vale, I'm nervous about what might happen.
Joshua interrupts her
Joshua: Something will happen.
Stacy: Sorry?
Joshua: Something is coming to Vale. The White Fang are planning some attack and the Grimm have been more erratic lately. It's only a matter of time until it boils over and the chaos ensues.
Stacy: And when do you think this might happen?
Joshua looks to Stacy and Responds in a somber tone
Joshua: I fear it will be soon, most probably before the festival is over.
Stacy: Then we'll do what we can before then.
Joshua gets up and gives Stacy a hug.
Joshua: Your determination to do the right thing is one of the many things that made me fall in love with you.
Stacy: Oh! And what are the other things?
Joshua: We can discuss that at a later time.
Stacy: So any ideas on what we can do?
Joshua ponders for a moment.
Joshua: We remove Mercury from Cinder's "masterplan"
Stacy: Awesome, so what's the plan?
Timeskip
It was nearly the end of the school day and Mercury was trying to look like he was paying in Stacy's class but in reality he was not even paying attention to that. He was busy daydreaming.
His daydreaming was interrupted by a textbook hitting him square in the face, knocking him off his chair. Getting up from the floor he sees Stacy looking him. He scowls at her.
Stacy: Glad to see that I've got your attention now, Mr Black. I do apologize if you find my class boring.
Mercury: Eh, whatever Teach.
Stacy: Stay back after class, I want to have a word with you.
Mercury slumps back into his seat and crosses his arms.
