The Legend of Team NDGO

Episode 19: Debreif

Olive flicks her pencil over her desk, bored out of her mind as Professor Peach drones on and on about the different flora of Mistral. She closes her eyes and rests her forehead on her arm before a loud beep comes from the classroom P.A System. Grau's eyes flick from his sketchbook to the speaker, listening to Dean Goodwitch through the announcements.

"Team NDGO please report to Headmaster Ozpin's office immediately." She repeats herself a couple of times before the P.A system cuts. Scarlett's brow shifts in confusion and she stands up from the booth, Grau grabs his sketchbook and slips it into a pouch on his belt, Dez shoves himself out of the booth, he was almost too big to fit in the damn things and it visibly pissed him off. Olive tamely follows behind Grau as they make their way to the headmaster's office.

The reception area just outside the headmaster's was decorated rather modestly, despite it being multiple miles above ground. Before any of them get the opportunity to sit down, the doors to the office open and the students can see Headmaster Ozpin looking down onto the city from the window surrounding his office.

"Please, do come in." he states, slowly turning around to look at the team. An instruction the team follows, as they all walk inside. Olive looks around the office, seeing countless exposed gears whirring in the ceiling, she looks to the window by Ozpin and sees that he was looking through a massive clock face overlooking the city. She continues to spot clock motifs throughout the room, rather interested in the decor. Grau nudges Olive's shoulder once they get to Ozpin's desk, they all fold their hands behind their backs. Ozpin looks among the students and takes a sip of his coffee.

"So, would the four of you like to tell me what you were up to last night?" The headmaster asks, stirring the coffee in his mug. Scarlett curses under her breath, Dez's brow shifts slightly and Olive is visibly panicking. Grau's eyes didn't change.

"It was my fault, sir. I was chasing a string of dust store robberies, they led to a warehouse in the docks. Scarlett opted to come along with me, once we arrived, things got complicated. So Scarlett called for backup." Ozpin's brow shifts slightly at Grau's honesty.

"And here I thought I would have to interrogate you." He places a file onto the table. Grau narrows his eyes on the beige folder, noting the SOR LLC logo on the face. He looks back up at Ozpin, before hearing the clicking of heels behind himself and his team.

"Sneaking out after curfew," The familiar voice of Goodwitch almost shouts behind them. "Breaking into and entering the docks, illegal acts of vigilantism, and causing almost 4 MILLION LIEN OF DAMAGES! Not to mention the dust you rendered unsellable!" Goodwitch lists as she smacks her riding crop on Ozpin's table.

"Please list me one SINGULAR reason we shouldn't expel you for this complete and utter slap in the face to the rules and values we hold at Beacon!" she demands

Grau turns to look Goodwitch in her eyes.

"We liberated over 50 hostages under the servitude of Roman Torchwick. They will be able to tell the proper authorities the ins and outs of his operation here in Vale, as well as in the other three kingdoms if we are lucky." He states.

"We also stopped known White Fang militants from receiving a large stash of arms from Torchwick's gang." Scarlett chips in.

"I also knocked a Fang assassin on his ass." Dez contributes, crossing his arms and maintaining unflinching eye contact with Goodwitch.

"We also saved a LOT of dust which can be given back to the stores they were taken from and sold to people who need it." Olive finishes. Goodwitch opens her mouth to respond but she couldn't find the words to respond with. She simply closes her mouth and steps back. Olive can swear she sees steam billowing from her nostrils as she stares bullets at Grau. Ozpin sits in his chair, resting his mug on the table and folds his fingers in front of his face.
