A/N: This is my first published RWBY story, hope you like! Your weapon is a whip and your semblance is telekinesis. Don't pressure me to update pls and thank u

Qrow Branwen watched from the back of the crowd of astounded students as Y/N, known to them as Ms. L/N, drew her whip. The defiant student in her class, Cardin, had stupidly challenged her to a duel after she had given him a well-deserved detention. Cardin charged at her, but she sidestepped it as he fell to the floor. Y/N smoothly tossed the whip as it grabbed the fallen boy's ankles and dragged him back. Using her telekinesis, she lifted the tied-up kid until he was floating upside down in the air like a sleeping bat.

"And that's why you go to school, Cardin. You need education to win battles like this one." Y/N let Cardin down. "If I hear that you didn't serve that detention, there will be another duel like this one, but mandatory."

"Yes, ma'am." He ran off.

The students dispersed, going off with their friends and chatting about how Cardin got "totally roasted". Ms. L/N's brutal honesty and snark was known throughout Beacon Academy, and Qrow's niece Yang had once commented that it was impossible to get through her class without laughing.

"Y'know, you don't have to accept every challenge a student will give you." Qrow commented as he walked to her side.

Without turning to him, Y/N replied, "He challenged my dignity. I defended it."

"He's an inexperienced kid."

"I accept any challenge, and I win."

Qrow thought it would be funny if he challenged her right there. It would be a close match at best. But whips were dangerous weapons- one missed block and they could hit you in the side of the torso, ruining your day. Or week. Or month. And Qrow had work that he couldn't afford to miss.

"Well, see ya later I guess."

"Okay." Y/N was looking at the news feed on her scroll, not even looking at him as he left.

What a woman, Qrow thought.

Hiding behind bushes were another two people, listening to every shred of the conversation.

"That was... partially successful?" Whispered the elder.

"Yang, they didn't even look at each other!"

"Yeah, but Ruby, think about it- Uncle Qrow got to see Ms. L/N totally kick Cardin's butt without her even batting an eyelash! Doesn't he seem the perfect type for a strong lady like her?"

Ruby had to force down a laugh and whispered, "They're perfect for each other."
