The Guardian Rose

Chapter 4: Dealing With A Bully.

Later

Y/N watched as the green-haired man was speeding around the classroom.

Y/N: (Has that man ever heard of decaf?)

Oobleck: Yes! Yes, prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution--more popularly known as the Faunus War... humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie. Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day! Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?

Some of the silhouetted students raise their hands. Velvet, after a moment, does the same.

Y/N: (Still kicking Cardin's ass again for doing that.)

Oobleck: Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence! I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang! Now, which one of you young scholars can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year of the War? Yes?

Weiss: The battle at Fort Castle!

Oobleck: Precisely! And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?

Unseen by the professor, Cardin flicks a paper football at Jaune's head, causing him to wake up.

Jaune: Hey!

Oobleck: Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?

Jaune: Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... that the Faunus... had over that guy's stuff...

Y/N pulled out a small sign that read 'Night vision Doctor'.

Jaune: Night vision, Doctor?

Cardin grumbled as his plan had failed.

Oobleck: That is correct, Mr. Arc! Cardin! Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!

Cardin: Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier.

Pyrrha: You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you, Cardin?

Cardin: What? You got a problem?

Y/N: No, I just find it funny on how someone like you doesn't know anything. General Lagune was inexperienced, and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and the general was captured. Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure.

Oobleck: Mr. Winchester! Please take your seat. 

Y/N chuckles at this when Oobleck stared at him. You and Mr. L/N can both see me after class for additional readings.

Y/N: Whatever you say Doc.

Oobleck: Now! Moving on!

After Class

Oobleck: You two have been bickering in my class since day one! Now, I don't know if it's a lack of interest, or just your stubborn nature, but whatever it is... It stops now! You've worked hard to gain entrance to this school, and we only accept the best of the best, so I expect you to act like it. History is important, gentlemen! If you can't learn from it... you're destined to repeat it. Pages fifty-one to ninety-one! I want an essay on my desk by next class! Now! Run along.
