The next morning...

Shadow wakes up way earlier than his 7:00 alarm by half hour, he looks outside to see the sun was halfway over the horizon.

Shadow: Well, no point in going back to sleep.

Shadow gets out of bed and heads to the closet, seeing that it has not only the clothes he packed was in their, school uniforms for him were in there. He grabs the school uniform and heads to the bathroom to take a shower, then gets dressed into the school uniform.

He then picks up his mask and puts it on, the reaches for his scroll and headphones

He then picks up his mask and puts it on, the reaches for his scroll and headphones. He plugs in his headphones and starts listening to music, humming to the song as he picks up his schedule.

Shadow: [Hmm...First class is with Professor Port...but that's like *checks scroll for time* in two and a half hours...]

Shadow then looks towards his family photo, specifically his father, as his fathers words of advice echo in his head.

Shadow's Father: If you've got the time, do what you need to do before what you want to do. If you don't, you won't get far.

Shadow looks back to his schedule, then puts it into his school bag, which is a black shoulder bag, puts its on, and heads out of his dorm, yet as he walks to his class, he can't seem to get someone out of his head, Weiss Schnee.

Shadow: [Weiss...There's something about her...demeanor that seems wrong, almost like she's wearing a mask to hide her true feelings...like me.]

Shadow walked to a school balcony and looked at Vale, then thought back to a friend he knew, Yusuke Morana. Yusuke was an upcoming artist, but hide his emotion due to his master, as Yusuke was being used for his artistic style. That is, until Shadow saved Yusuke and gave him a purpose to fight back. Yusuke's master eventually was defeated, and confessed everything that he did and was put into custody. Yusuke did thank Shadow for his help, and though he returned to becoming an artist, he always remembered who he true self was.

Shadow: *sigh* I'll figure out who Weiss is, but it'll take time to find out.

Shadow then turns to head back into the school and pulls out his headphones and stops his music. Then he checks the time seeing that he lost track of time, as it was now 7:45!

Shadow: Shoot! I've gotta head to Port's Class!

Shadow then activates Assassin's Dash, and speeds his way to Port's classroom. He quickly arrives to the classroom, and opens the door into Port's classroom. Port is at the whiteboard, drawing a Boarbatusk and it's anatomy. He turns as Shadow enters the classroom, who is looking around the room.
