A trip to Kuo Kuana, which is settlement here on Menagerie, was filled with utter silence. Hazel understand that Teacher doesn't wants to have a conversation with him, so he was silent. Teacher's mind was racing with confusion: apparently, he was stranded in the unknown land, which is not located on Earth. But he saved his questions to Hazel's boss, maybe she would be kind enough to answer them.

Teacher saw, that they are approaching the settlement, which is oddly looking like Japanese island's villages. As they entered, Teacher saw that he gain attention from the people around, who were just like mutants he killed earlier. All of them looked like a humans, but have an animal features, like dog ears, horns, tails and stuff like that. He heard whispers around him.

"What is that?"

"There is a human, but who is with him?"

"I can't sense human smell on him, and faunus smell as well. What is he? Some sort of bio-droid?"

As Teacher was gaining information, he understood that "Faunus" is a name of their kind, and humans isn't really welcomed here. Apparently, faunus can smell humans, because they have a unmistakable scent, just like dogs sniff other dog. Teacher didn't smell like any human, which is strange. Maybe he still has a part of Monolith member in his mind and body. Grimm, which were the black creatures he came across, are very aggressive towards any kind, and they drove to the negative emotions.

But Teacher still is a Monolith member. Back in the Zone, mutants weren't paying zealots any attention, they just ignored them. They weren't affected by emisions as well. This is the only one logical explanation. Hazel kept leading him to his bullhead, which was located near the port. Before he can took another step, he and Teacher heard an angry voice, coming from behind them:

"Humans! What are scumbags like you doing here!"

Teacher slowly turned around and saw a girl. She wears a Grimm Mask with chameleon horns on it to hide her identity. Her mask also points upward at the top and extends past her hairline; this resembles the crest of a veiled chameleon. She wears a black, gray and dark gray sleeveless stealth suit with short legs that resembles a playsuit with black trim around the legs. The color divide is at the center of her thighs. The stealth suit's zipper is gold, and over it, she wears gray belt straps with gold buckles. She wears simple black boots with a cuff and a black glove on her right hand.

"Well. I'm waiting. Speak, before I launch you in the ocean!"

Teacher hummed. He just met this girl, and she is already getting on his nerves. He grabbed his Vyclop and pointed it on her. She stopped, and her eyes widened in fear. She didn't felt any scent off this man, his scent wasn't human or faunus, she didn't know what to expect.

"Do you want to try it, little girl? Did you just hit puberty, and you want some adrenaline? Well, adrenaline won't help you, if you have a bullet hole in your brain. This gun is antimaterial, which means it can deal with the armored vehicles. So I'm asking again...Do you want to try it, little girl?"

Teacher said menacingly and slowly. She was trembling and shaking. Obvious reaction when you see death, who can kill you at any moment. She decided to do one thing, flee and alert the white fang. Teacher looked at her fleeing and said:

"Amateur"

Hazel nodded in thankful manner, for hesitating to turning this street in blood bath. He and Teacher walked to the bullhead, which was a VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) tiltjet aircraft, meaning that it is an aircraft that can hover, take off and land vertically. As a tiltjet aircraft, this is done using jet engines with thrust vectoring to achieve both forward flight and vertical ascent/descent. It also allows for the aircraft to tilt or turn sharply while still in the same airspace.

The vehicle has four small legs as landing gear.

It is possible that the Bullhead has a secondary propulsion system of some kind; it is seen having secondary air intakes on the wing roots. These may be helicopter-style turbines, although their exact nature and purpose are unknown at this time. They entered it. Hazel took a seat in the pilot seat, and Teacher sat in the passenger's seat. They lifted of the ground and started flying in the unknown for Teacher direction. He decided to catch some sleep, before he and Hazel arrive and closed his eyes.
