"Despite smelling of cabages," Port continued on with his story. In spite of that dramatic opening Port, as it turns out, was incredibly boring and full of himself. It has been several hours and he is still telling the same story. Everyone in the classroom is sick of it. Almost everyone. Our dear protagonist Y/n Armeria was positively enraptured by the story. Yes the young teen you'd expect most to end up playing with his semblance to pass the time was listening to every word. At the same time he was still sketching down the various Grimm shown on the tapestry.
Weiss on the other hand, she feigned interest but in all honesty she was more interested in glowering at Ruby as the girl did more and more annoying things in an attempt to stave off her own boredom. "The beast nearly done me in till I remembered something that my Grandfather had told me," Port prattled on in the middle of all this. Ruby shows off a stickman of Port with stinklines to her team and blows a rasberry. Yang and Blake laugh but Weiss glares in annoyance.
"The moral of the story," Port asks the class as he looks around. Ruby was balancing an apple on a pencil, Weiss looked like whe wanted to strangle her captain, and Y/n looked to be the only one actually interested in what he was talking about. Port was undetered, "A true huntsmen bust be honorable. A true huntsmen must be dependable," Somehow between those two sentances Ruby had fallen asleep, "A true huntsmen must be strategic, well educated, and wise!"
"So who amongst you," Port once more scans the room. Ruby was... picking her nose. Ew. Weiss was fully facing Ruby at this point and Y/n was at the edge of his seat. "Believes you embody these traits?"
Y/n's hand shot up. So did Weiss' as she glared at Ruby before looking to Port, "I do sir!"
Port smiled, "Well then let's find out!" The man walks back to his desk and presses a button under it that opens the floor beneath him. A cage holding an unknown Grimm surfaces, the beast snarling as the cage shakes. "Prepare your gear and return A.S.A.P." The teacher ordered Weiss, to which she quickly followed. Y/n, seeing as it was a chance to fight something, began to mope. Pyrrha consoled the boy in his time of grief.
Weiss returned swiftly in her combat dress and equipped with her rapier. Y/n whistled, "As beautiful as always Snowflake." A blush forms as she glares up at him for a moment before looking to Professor Port.
"Nice and snappy. Well done Miss Schnee. Now, please take up your combat stance and ready yourself for the trial to come," The professor requested as he brandished his blunderbuss axe.
'What the fuck is THAT abomination,' Y/n mentally screamed as he looked at the thing. 'Bro like actually... what the fuck...' He snapped out of his disgusted thoughts as Weiss readied herself.
Yang pumped her fist, "Goooo Weiss!"
Blake started waving a flag of Team RWBY, somehow having made one in less than a day. "Fight well," She shouted too, though her voice much softer.
"KNOCK EM DEAD SNOWFLAKE/YOU GOT THIS WEISS," Y/n and Ruby shouted in unison. Weiss dropped her stance and glared at Ruby angrily but only glared at Y/n in annoyance. She reassumed her stance as she faced the cage with poise and dignity. Y/n snickered at her response but Ruby fell back in her seat saddened. "Sorry..." Ruby apologized in a hushed tone.
"ALRIGHT," The Professor shouted, grabbing everyone's attention once more. He raised up his abomination, the blundaxe, and slammed it down on a chain behind the cage. "Let the challenge commence," He shouted once more as the cage's gate slung open and a Boarbatusk stepped out. The beast sniffed at the air before locking eyes with Weiss and grunting.
"Ooooh it's gorgeous... not as pretty as that Death Stalker but still... Man seeing new Grimm is always lovely," Y/n thought aloud as the boar dragged its hoof and huffed at Weiss. "Oh, is that a threat? I was fully expecting it to go on the offensive immediately," Y/n continued his outward thoughts as he began to add notes on the Boarbatusk. At the same time as that Grimm squealed and with surprising agility hopped into the air fell into a spin. It rotated in place for several seconds before spindashing towards Weiss. Y/n's eyes light up as Weiss then expertly deflects the attack and rolls away from it.
