Chapter 8: Field Trip (Ep8 V2)

(No ones pov)

Ironwood: "They were here! I'm telling you it's Athena, she's the reason they're doing all this now of all times." He accused, slamming his fist onto the table.

Glynda: "We are all aware, but please refrain from accusing one of our students please. She was enjoying the dance just like every other child there." She defended.

Ironwood: "Oh great! You're aware, so why don't we do something about it or are we going to continue to ignore what's in front of us?"

Beep beep!

Ozpin: "Come in.."

Ruby' and Thanatos' walked in. Both of them a little worried about the situation and the thick atmosphere.

Ruby': "Sorry we took so long! Someone accidentally hit all the buttons on the way here... it wasn't me." She defended herself.

Thanatos' mouthed to the three of them. 'It was her..'

Ozpin gave a slight chuckle before clearing his throat. "How are you feeling you two?"

Ruby': "Okay, I guess. I'd feel better if my bad guy catching record wasn't 0 for 3." She gave a small chuckle but no one laughed. "Okay so that's the tone we're going for got it.." she said meekly

Thanatos': "Feeling fine, just a bit shook after what Ironwood saw us..."

Ironwood: "While the situation was not clear at the time, the two of you have what it takes to become great hunters and huntresses. You both recognized a threat, you took action, and did the very best you could." He reassured.

Ozpin: "Now, the general here has already informed us of the events that transpired last night. But we have a few question we would like to ask."

Glynda: "Did she look familiar? Was anyone else with her at all?" She asked.

Thanatos': "I'm not sure, she had worn a mask, and she didn't say a word. But I swore she fought with glass." He said, getting a nod from Ruby.

Ruby': "Her clothing also lit up whenever she attacked."

The three of them pondered, Glynda remembering the time a woman also fought a glass back when she first met Ruby.

Ironwood': "Dust embodied clothing is an age old technique. I doubt that it could have just been someone special."

Ruby': "Do you think this girl is connected to the White fang and Roman?" She said. "I think I remembered her talking about some hideout just outside of Vale."

Thanatos': "Y-Yeah I think I remembered something like that as well. She was really quiet about it though." He scratched his head almost worried.

Glynda: "But I thought you said-" she was cut off from Ozpin. "Thank you for your cooperation Ruby, Thanatos. Why don't you two head back to your teams, you have a big day ahead. But please, do be discreet of the matter."

Thanatos' and Ruby' nodded, heading back inside the elevator.

Ironwood: "So it's settled, we send troops to the southeast and destroy anything that gets in our way." He said, infuriating Glynda.

Glynda: "Why must you always treat every single thing with violence? I swear you make every situation like it's a contest of measuring d-"

Ozpin: "Glynda! Well he does. She's right. as much as I too would want to end this situation once and for all. And if this is truly something of some master plan for which we know not of the final move, we cannot risk the spread of panic."

Ironwood: "I served you faithfully for years." He walked towards Ozpin, voice grim. "But if you mean to tell me that your plan is to really hold the defenses and wait-"
