Far From Home Chapter 6

Afterwards, Classes went on and the day continued as Felix, in spite of his age, was allowed and required to attend these classes.
Felix continued to listen as he kept his black dagger on him as he gleaned at its ashen steel, feeling the weapon's...whispers, coming from the blade itself.

'Be still, spirit.' he muttered to it as he looked up to see what else the class had in store for him.

While he cared little for the students to an extent, he still kept their faces in mind, most particularly if they are important, required to be spoken to, or simply needed to remember.

A sigh escaped him as he kept the dagger close to his desk as he watched the rather porty teacher supposedly meant to give guidance to the students, and he's now simply going on about his own youthful stories.

And while yes, they annoyed the students to no end, Felix smiles as he pays attention to them, listening to what the enlarged man had to say, remembering some of the veterans he served with back in Gaul recall their tales...with some exaggerated claims.

Looking back and cross-referencing, he figured that a particular legionnaire in his mind would bond well with the portly man.

Said man began to go on about the important tenets of being a Huntsman or Huntress in this circumstance. Even if it weren't too much use initially, it will be something grand to be seen regardless of the actions as everyone continues to listen or drown out his mambo-jumbo with something.

As he thought of this, a certain snow-haired woman was gradually becoming annoyed with the red-tipped girl next to her. How dare she behave in such a childish manner!?

She gets to be in the finest academy for Huntsman, and she acts like a 3rd grader! Were the running thoughts that coursed through Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the SDC of Atlas.

She continued to become frustrated at this, and up until Port began to talk, asking who can be the icon of which these traits are exemplified, Weiss wasted no time in raising her hand.,

"I DO SIR!" She shouts, raising her hand as the professor laughs joyfully.

"HAHA! Excellent Ms. Schnee. I sure hope you can live up to them." The man says as he soon unveiled a sizable cage as Weiss had returned, now wearing the clothes that she wore during the Initiation battle.

Felix nods as he begins to observe ... .though frowned on the obvious lack of armor. Sure it was convenient to rely upon a shield made from one's spirit, but to rely upon it like a crutch would be foolish.

Felix flicked his tongue at his distaste, he as a soldier long knew the importance of armor, regardless of his world's lack of spirit armor.

And as he flicked his tongue, he began to ponder about the idea of Aura....wondering if he could receive such a gift. Surely it would be a worthwhile endeavor, especially if he were to unlock such magic.

If he indeed had earned this magic, he would surely rise in his strength and prowess as he made a mental note to go for books and those false-light books.

"It would be rather good to fight with such Auric protection." he says as he watches what the girl will do as she is ready to face her foe...

Which so happened to be a Boarbatusk...Felix placed a hand on his chin in curiosity as he hadn't quite gotten the opportunity to learn or see such a beast. More importantly, how in Jupiter's arse did he manage to cage a live one!?

If his interest wasn't present, it is now! As Port unsheathed a front-loading rifle with an axe blade attached down on the back. Felix, admittedly pondered if he could make his firearm in the same way, even though it was still standard issue and not in any way customizable.

"BEGIN!" Shouted Port as he cleaved the cage's lock with the axe head as the wild pig-like Grimm squeals and charges at Weiss, who stayed on the defensive as her female teammates and leader cheered her on.

"YOU GOT THIS!" Shouted Ruby with beaming eyes as Wiess sidestepped the beast as the two combatants began to circle one another.

Amazingly, they got miniature banners of their team's name...where did they get that? All the while Ruby continued to cheer her on, paired up with her two conterbernium members, who either cheered or waved similar flags that bore the same team name...Sometimes the Roman wonders on how these girls would've managed living under Rome's influence.

Nevertheless, he watched at how Weiss fought the animal as she lunged forward, levitating off the ground to achieve...whatever she was planning to do, but was stopped when her blade got ensnared by the Boar's long tusks as both engaged in a tug-of-war session with one another as the Professor let out a confident laugh, not at all worried about their student

"And when ensnared, what will you do?" Asks the professor as the students watch on, knowing full well that Port will intervene should Wiess' life be endangered. Both she and the beast continued to pull on the sword, struggling for it as the crowd watched on as Wiess attempted to use her acrobatic skills to release the saber, only to have the boar tug on it to get her back in place, with the sword thrown to the side of the arena as Weiss began to back away from the Boarbatusk.

With another jolly laugh, Port looked to Weiss, who was now defenseless, much to the disapproval of Felix.

'Foolish girl' He thought to himself.

Had he been in her position, he'd at the least rely on the boot knife he always carried for emergency situations, especially if he couldn't rely on his shield or his new firearm.

"Now, disarmed and without any more weapons., what shall you do now?" Port asked the white haired woman as Ruby tried to keep her spirits up. Only receiving a glare from Weiss as she channeled her Semblance.

Channeling her Semblance with Black Glyphs of snow, she used the momentum, though it would seem her Leader's comments are getting into her head.

"COME ON WEISS! YOU-" Ruby would've continued had Weiss not blew a fuse as she pointed her rapier and told her to simply shut up, her focus on her leader left her open to the boar as it leapt to her as she grunted in pain, her Aura protecting her from a painful bite.

All the while Ruby's attitude became solemn and she had a frown on her face that sold the mood. All the while the princess now struggled until at last, the teacher saved her from another barrage of attacks with a shot from his blunderbuss, slaying the creature as Port hacked its body for good measure, allowing it to fade completely as the teacher sighs.

"In conclusion class, one must never take their focus away from the fight, or get overwhelmed by 3rd party noises, or what happened to Ms. Schnee here, will happen to you," Port states as Felix gave a thumbs up, knowing the need to focus

As the Legionary began to jot down these notes, he glanced and noticed the silver haired woman gave Ruby an angry glare before leaving the trio.

Felix turned to see the blonde, Yang was her name be upset at her before consoling her sister as Felix began to leave, knowing that they'll sort this matter with each other soon enough, or that team won't ever blossom, he had seen such Contubernium, that despite the discipline of the Roman Army, he noticed a few in their ranks being...too much of a jester to have in their ranks, but as they had equally caused officers pain, they at times, gave the men much-needed morale boost.

As he leaves, he gives one more look at the cracked team as he leaves the auditorium, intent on finishing his day and returning to his chambers.

All the while, the dagger continues to sing to him. Calling to him as he ignored the Siren's call, but acknowledged that perhaps that this dagger has a will of its own, seeking out only those willing to use it to invoke be it a holy or or unholy power within its weapon.

But for now, more urgent situations would be needed, such as on ways to reunite that fractured team, knowing well of those who did naught but bicker amongst their comrades. Something that he had to critique about the School, especially when preparing this realm's newest and finest warriors out of mere boys and girls, better suited for life as senators or craftworkers.

But he digressed, all he knew is that he may have to step in provide the team the means to extrapolate a mutual understanding between both girls.

Right now, however. He'll need to rest his mind as he went towards the training arena. Intent on practicing.
