Blades Of A Rose

Chapter 6: Jaunedice Part 2

[3rd POV Oobleck's lesson]

"This is 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?" Said Doctor Oobleck, very fast and speeding around

A few Faunus raised their hands including, Velvet. Some, didn't raise their hands because they didn't want to get bullied. You felt sad for them being treated differently just because of a few additional parts. This made you think of Slavery in the US and around the world. Working hard labor until death. 

"Dreadful! Simply dreadful!" said Oobleck, speaking very fast. 'What is in that mug of his? You thought

"Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence! I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to the White Fang! Now, which one of you young scallions can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year of the War?" Oobleck says while sipping her mug every once in awhile

Weiss raises her hand

"Yes?" Oobleck said

"The battle at Fort Castle!" said Weiss 

"Precisely! And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?" Oobleck said, still going very fast

Cardin flicked a table football at Jaune

"Hey!" Jaune yells

Oobleck sped over to Jaune and said "Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?"

"Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... of the Faunus...had over that guy's stuff..." 

Jaune noticed Pyrrha cupped her eyes and gave the most obvious answer

 "Uhh... Binoculars!"

Jaune looks pleased with his answer, the class laughs at him and Oobleck sips his coffee. Pyrrha sighs and slaps a hand to her forehead as Cardin pounds his fist on his desk while chortling.

"Very funny, Mr. Arc! Cardin! Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!" Oobleck said and zoomed back to his desk

"Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier." Cardin said acting like a big shot

Oobleck shook his head

"You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you, Cardin?" You said

"What? You got a problem?" Cardin said still acting like a big shot

"I have the answer! Eli yelled

It's night vision. Many Faunus are known to have nearly-perfect sight in the dark." Eli said

"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. Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure." Blake said as she was turning towards Cardin

Cardin got up from his seat and clenched his fist

"Hey Cardin! Remember what happened last time?" You yelled
