RWBY - New Horizon

Chapter 16- And the burden

Towards the end of the day with the last class now beginning a slightly overweight male appearing in the early stages of old age begins his introduction to the class on what they will be learning. The room itself features multiple detailed sketches of various creatures of Grimm and a blunderbuss with axe blades extending from the stock mounted on the wall.

The older man has short grey hair combed to both sides, thick grey eyebrows and an equally thick and hearty moustache.

He wears a double-breasted burgundy suit with gold piping and buttons and black suit trousers that are tucked into olive boots, similar in appearance and construction to cavalry boots.

"Monsters! Demons... Prowlers of the night. Yes, the creatures have Grimm have many names But I merely refer to them as prey. Hu-hah! Haha."

Professor Port's joke falls to dead silence as the sound of cricket chirps is the only sound to pierce the room. Seeing this Port hastily continues his lesson,

"Uhh, and you shall too upon graduating from this prestigious academy. Now as I was saying, Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world. Our world is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces. And that is we come in... Huntsmans! Huntresses..."

With this Port clicks his tongue at Yang while raising his eyes much to the brawler's disgust as Port then continues his lecture slowly falling into remembrance at the tales of his youth.

"Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves. From what you ask well the very world."

To Port's statement, a single student towards the back calls out in excitement before immediately quieting down and returning within himself clearly in the minority for his enthusiasm within the class.

Before Port returns to his speech a hatch to the side of his classroom opens before a large cage with a cloth covering it is wheeled out into the classroom being pushed by a certain crimson eyed individual recognized by teams RWBY.

"Special delivery, fresh from the forest one large Grimm with extra cheese."

"Ah young mister Ozpin certainly good to see you back so soon, I trust you were successful and that this little devil did not give you too much trouble?"

As Port refers to the creature inside the cage, he bangs his hand on the top of it, causing a frustrated grunt and then a snort to escape from the cage.

"Oh him, Nah. He and his friends were a little hesitant to come, but a little convincing and my animal magnetism and I managed to persuade them."

With that Talon simply bowed and left before RWBY could even question where he had been or what creature was in the cage before Port then resumed his lecture seeming completely unfazed by the banging and grunts being released by the creature in the cage.

"This is what you are training to become but first a story, a tale of a young, handsome man... Me aha when I was a boy..." and with that Port faded into a story from his earlier days regaling the class with tales of his youth however as she attempted to listen in detail to the story Wiess could not help but notice the lack of attention being given by her apparent team leader Ruby and this was frustrating the young heiress to no end with her resolve slowly crumbling.

Port continued his lecture slowly coming towards the end of his Tale as Weiss diligently listened; however, her attention was drawn to her left as she saw Ruby quickly scribbling something down in her notebook.

"Despite smelling of cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man. 'Peter' he told me..."

However, Weiss's attention was once again snatched to her right as she now heard giggling coming from her supposed team leader before Ruby presented what she had been scribbling. A crude doodle of her teacher with stink lines bringing chuckles from her older sister but only causing Weiss's frown to deepen.
