Hunter in the Wild

Chapter 8

I woke up the next day by the sound of Noah's alarm going off. I sat up and groaned.

"Still not a morning person?" Noah asked.

"Not really," I replied rubbing my eyes. "What time even is it?"

"Six, we've got three hours till our first class."

"Who's the teacher and what's the class?"

"Professor Port, and something about Grimm."

"I could use that class," I said while getting dressed. We had these uniforms that were probably the worst uniform ever. Basically just a black suit trimmed with gold and a dark blue vest.

I looked over at the rest of the team to see Vlad and Ethan up and moving. They were already dressed and seemed to have been awake for a while. They kinda worked like computers. You put them in sleep mode and when you wake them up again they need time to turn back on fully.

"Is it just me, or does this uniform make me look fat?" Noah asked.

"It's just you," Ethan replied.

I laughed and nodded. "I've taught him well."

"Ha ha," I could feel the sarcasm in his fake laugh. Not hear, feel.

"Can I ask why we got up at six?"

"Breakfast and so we had time to get to class."

"Fair enough, what are you in the mood for?"

"Bacon?"

"Well duh, but what else?"

"Eggs and biscuits?"

"Sounds delicious."

"It does."

"I'm gonna go go a walk, Ethan, can you make some?"

"Yes sir," he replied and walked off to a kitchen.

"Noah, make sure he doesn't burn the dorm down."

"Already on it," he said.

I smirked and opened the door to our dorm. I grabbed my scroll before I left, then was on my way. I walked outside and felt a cool breeze brush against my face. I took a deep breath and walked to the outer section of the campus. I walked for at least forty-five minutes. While walking, I took notice of a few things. One was how nice it was out, the other was that someone else was outside. They were sitting on a bench under a tree a couple yards ahead of me. I slowed down to see who it was, and noticed it was Blake reading a book.

"Why is it whenever I'm alone," I said making her jump a little. "You always seem to be near?"

She scrambled a little searching for something, while I looked confused.

Then I saw what was different, she didn't have her bow on. I looked up and noticed she had... cat ears?

I looked under my foot and found her bow. I picked it up and handed it to her.

"I believe this is yours," I said with a smile.

Her face got red, snatched it, and stood up. She started to walk away when I spoke up.

"Your ears are nice."

She stopped and looked at me.

"E-excuse me?"

"Your ears, they're cute. Cat Faunus, right?"

She blushed like crazy and nodded. "You... don't mind?"
