No Date Velvet Room Evening

*Aria of the Soul

"Welcome to the Velvet Room." Maragret greeted as Yu opened his eyes. He was sitting at a bar counter along with Margaret to the side, flipping pages of her compendium and notices that there were several blanks within the Grimoire that held Yu's collection of Personas he could summon. "As you can see, the strange occurrence appears to have stripped you of some of your Personas, mainly those of female deities." She explained, "That... Is odd?" Yu replied with a normal expression. "But that shouldn't affect me at any case, would it?" He asked, "Not at all. Simply continue to fuse Personas and you'll eventually regain their powers once more, with the required fee, if you would.." Margaret answered they over hear Ruby and Theo in their discussion, the same with Ragna and Sammie. "At any case, continue with your journey while you support your two junior, I look forward to the results. Until then, farewell." She replied. Yu looked over his shoulder at Ragna and Ruby as both Theo and Sammie bowed farewell to them. "I wonder how they'll fare in our situation?" Yu wondered as his sight faded to black.

4/31 Beacon Academy Afternoon

Class time and everyone was listening to the Teacher, Professor Oobleck as he zips across the room. "... This is prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution while also referred to as the Faunus War, human kind was quite, quite, adamant about centralizing the Faunus population in Menagerie." Professor explained, pointing the at continent on the map as he then zip to another side of the room a sipped his coffee, and continued on. "Now, while this must feel like ancient history to you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events. Why, the repercussions of the uprising can be still seen to this day. Now have any among you have been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?" The Teacher asked his students as he took more sips of his coffee, zipping across the room. Most of the students were all human, but Shirogane and other Faunus raised their hand, while Teddie, for no reason, did the same but as he slowly raised his hand, Rise brought it back down and gave him a cold stare. "Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!" He stated drinking his cup of coffee. "I mean, I mean, I mean just look what happened to the White Fang? Now which one of you young scholars tell me what many theorists believe to be the turning point of the war?" He asked. While the Professor continues his lecture, some students dozed off and fooled around. While Jaune was napping in class, Cardin tossed a paper football awakening him from his nap. "H-hey!" Jaune muttered, However, Prof. Oobleck zipped up to him in attention. "Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent. Excellent! What is the answer?" He asked him, "Uh... The answer..." Jaune stuttered as he starred behind the Professor as his friends wave him gestures of the answer. "... The advantage of... Uh... The Faunus... Had over that guys stuff... Uhh... Binoculars!" Jaune answered... which came out wrong as the students burst out laughing. "Very funny Mr. Arc." Prof. Oobleck sighed in disappointment. "Cardin, perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject?" He asked Cardin, "Well... I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than to a soldier." Cardin explained with a sarcastic insult. "So what? Your calling yourself an animal, is that it?" Saya retorted with a small smirk as the rest of her teammates giggled, "What? You calling me an animal, you brat!?" Cardin barked at her, "No, she's looking at one, you mutt!" Kanji retorted as the two males traded glares and growled, "Ms. Saya and Mr. Tatsumi! I'm glad you two are still with us!" Prof. Oobleck recalled them back to the subject. "Perhaps both of you can share y'all thoughts? What could you two possibly tell me about the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?" He asked. "Huh? Huh, oh... Well the Faunus can see in the dark, of course." Saya answered, "Indeed!" The Professor agreed as he then took another sip of his coffee. "Mr. Tatsumi, your turn please.", "What? Uh... Er... The... Some Faunus has somethin' called night vision. They're really useful when you hafta take punks down at night." Kanji guessed, "That is very true, Mr. Tatsumi, BUT! We're talking about how the Faunus receive the advantage over General Lagune and his forces." Prof. Oobleck repeated the topic, Kanji stuttered as he looked over his textbook. However, Pyrrha and Tsubaki stood up. "Um, me and Pyrrha have more to their answer, Professor. Many Faunus are known to have nearly perfect sight in the dark." Tsubaki answered the question while Cardin looked elsewhere in anger, "General Lagune was inexperienced and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep." Pyrrha added. "His massive army was outmatched and the General was captured." Blake also added, "Indeed so. Perhaps if you pay attention in class, he would of been remembered as such a failure." Saya told Cardin. The rest of the students took it in with "Ooooohhh" from the insult which made Cardin fume, attempt get up in front of the girls, yet Kanji barred himself in between them. "Hey, back off!" Kanji ordered him. Cardin clench his teeth as he gripped his fists, that's when Hibiki and Jin interfere, "Please Mr. Tatsumi and Mr. Winchester, both of you take y'all seats." Hibiki told them, "Right, we're in class at the moment. So this is no time to start a fight." Jin stated making the two sit in their seats, "We're truly sorry Professor Oobleck." Hibiki and Jin said, "No need, Mr. Kisaragi, and Mr. Kohaku. You two just stopped a fight in my class. Thank you both very much." Prof. Oobleck said and turn Kanji, Cardin, Jaune, and even Teddie, "You both and Mr. Arc, can me after class for additional reading, and I'm including you, too, Mr. Einherjar." He reminded Jaune as he groaned and Teddie blinked in confusion as he woke up with drool coming out of his mouth. "Now! Moving on!" He said.
