The opening ends to a uniformed. sleeping Jaune Arc with his head resting in his hands while a constantly-zooming and fast-talking Professor Oobleck is in the middle of his hyperactive lecture, educating Weiss. Blake. Pyrrha. Velvet Scarlatina, and a leaned-back Cardin directly behind Jaune
Oobleck: Yes! Yes. prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution--more popularly known as the Faunus War-- (zooms up to the front of the class and the map covered in papers behind his desk) --humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie. (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! (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 silhouetted students raise their hands. Velvet. after a moment. does the same. as jack and Calum are fast asleep
Oobleck: Dreadful. simply dreadful! Remember. students. it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence! (takes another sip of his coffee) I mean. I mean. I mean just look at what happened to White Fang! if it wasn't for team LJOC. Team RWBY would never had gotten saved! 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? (a hand is raised) Yes?
Weiss: The battle at Fort Castle!
Oobleck: 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
Jaune: Hey!
Oobleck: (zooming over into Jaune's face) Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?
Jaune: Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... that the Faunus... (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... (he sees Pyrrha cup her hands around her eyes and goes for the most obvious answer) Uhh... Binoculars!
While Jaune looks pleased with his answer the class laughs at him even jack and Calum who woke up for a laugh. and Oobleck (back at the front of the class) sips his coffee. Pyrrha sighs and slaps a hand to her forehead as Cardin pounds his fist on his desk while chortling
Oobleck: (zooming back behind his desk) 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 than a soldier
Pyrrha: (as Oobleck shakes his head) You're not the most open-minded of individuals. are you. Cardin?
Cardin: What? You got a problem?
Pyrrha: No, I have the answer! It's night vision. Many Faunus are known to have nearly-perfect sight in the dark. (Cardin growls at the correct response)
Blake: General Lagune 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. (turns to Cardin) Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class. he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure
Oobleck: (as Cardin gets up from his seat, fist clenched) Mr. Winchester! Please take your seat. (when Jaune laughs at his tormentor's embarrassment. zooming up to him) You and Mr. Arc can both see me after class for additional readings. (takes yet another sip of his coffee)
