Chapter 4: A lesson of ones body

00:00 hours

Capitol of Atlas

Iron Woods Office.

Ironwood: " You mean to tell me that this man" points to security footage of you and the two guards. "Killed two of my finest guardsmen in vale without even having to touch them?"

Ozpin: "what I tell you is true James... This man possesses power beyond anyone that has ever lived."

Ironwood: "what do you suggest we do then Ozpin? We cannot have this man ravaging about killing random people in the name of his so-called. Cure."

Ozpin: "Yes I am aware of that James. But that still doesn't excuse his abilities... Or what he calls burdens."

Ironwood: "Exactly! We cannot have someone like him doubt his own powers. That will only cause problems. If this man is what you say he is. I would like to meet him. Someone of his caliber needs to be met in person."

'5 hours later in your laboratory'

*BOOM*

Y/n: "Damned fool. That's the third time this night."

You look down to see a shattered jar with a heart smeared all over the floor. 

*Knock* *knock*

Y/n: "To whom may be disturbing me at such early hours?"

???: "It's me, Ruby"

Y/n: "Ah yes Miss Rose. You may let yourself in. I am a... A bit tangled up at the moment" she opens the door and walks in. "and do make sure you lock the door behind you. I do not want any unwelcomed guests barging their way in"

Ruby: " Oh, ok. Sorry heh," she locks the door. "What'd ya up to?" Leaning over your arm.

Y/n: looks over at Ruby " You certainly do not have a limit of one's personal space"

Ruby: Realises what she is doing " OOPS! Sorry... Again"

Y/n: "Do not worry. Miss Rose. No harm has been committed." Continues your work on attempting to study a organ before your hands go numb again." But to answer your previous question. Miss Rose. As usual, I am studying. Something that you should be doing as well? If I am correct? Miss Rose?" You look over to see and abnormally large book bag with a Gastly amount of paperwork along with it. You then look at Ruby, whom has a guilty expression on her face whilst pressing her index fingers together.

Ruby: "yyyeah about that. Um. Can I study with you? In here?

Y/n: " you do know my practice is in medicine and human and faunas physiology. Miss Rose. Not in hunting Grimm or stopping this so-called white fang you and others speak of constantly."

Ruby: "PPPPFFFTTT Duh! I knew that!"

you gaze in Ruby's direction. She can feel you giving her a death glare through your mask. Under pressure, she concedes and tells why she is there.

Ruby:*sighs* " I am here because I didn't listen in class and now I am behind and no one wants to help me."

Y/n: "And what class is this? Miss Rose?"

Ruby: "Anatomy"

Y/n: "What creatures anatomy?"

Ruby: "we learned a little bit of Grimms, but then we moved to human and Faunus Anatomy... Aaannnddd that's where the professor lost me."

Y/n: "Very well then. Ma'dam Rose. How would you like to study? Hands-on? Or on paper?"

Ruby: "Uuuhhhh. Hands on I suppose?"

Y/n: "Aahhh such a wise decision madam. Get ready. We are going to look for some... Studying material" you get your overcoat on and your cane and walk over to the door.

Ruby having no clue what was about to unfold as soon as you got into vale. Tailed you out of your lab door and to the landing pad.

Soon after you and Ruby left your laboratory. You and Ruby reached the landing pad and boarded a bullhead to vale.

Ruby: "Y/n? What is in vale that will help me?"

Y/n: "Do not worry. Ma'dam. You'll soon find out. There is PLENTY of material for you to study".

The bullhead soon touches down.

You B-line it out of the bullhead, with ruby struggling to keep up behind you.

Eventually, after 10 minutes of shouldering through a very tough crowd, you managed to reach an old antique shop.

Ruby: "Y/n. This is an Antique shop."

You then point to a row of glass cases full of bones. Both human and faunas.

Ruby: "Oh!? I see. sorry"

Y/n: "Observation is key. Ma'dam Rose. I suggest you get more inclined in that field."

You enter the store with you and Ruby  
going to the display.

Store owner: "Welcome to Vale Antiques! What may I-"

Y/n: "No thank you. Sir. What we have found... Is most adequate"

Ruby: "So Y/n. What is the bone on the forearm?"

*Quick footsteps*

*Opens a door*

Store owner: "HEY! You're not supposed to be back here!"

*Door closes*

*SNAP*

*THUD*

*Door Opens*

Y/n: "Miss Rose. Come hither. And do flip the open sign to closed please."

A/n: Greetings. It's been awhile. I hope you all are doing well. And yes this chapter is short compared to my latest ones, but do not worry. The next chapter will be longer( yeah whenever that is). Anyways you all stay safe and have a good one. Goodbye.
