The view opens to a uniformed, sleeping Jaune Arc with his head resting in his hands while a constantly-zooming and fast-talking Professor Bartholomew Oobleck is in the middle of his hyperactive lecture, educating Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Pyrrha Nikos, Velvet Scarlatina, the whole of Team STLL, and a leaned-back Cardin Winchester directly behind Jaune.

"Yes! Yes, prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution--more popularly known as the Faunus War--" Using his ridiculous speed he zooms up to the front of the class and the map covered in papers behind his desk.

"--humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie." He points at the map of said-area with his stick, then zooms off to the side for a sip of his coffee before appearing in front of the desk.

"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!" Again he zooms freakishly fast around the classroom more, sipping his coffee again before continuing to zoom and talk.

"Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated against because of your Faunus heritage?"

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

"Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!" He takes another sip of his secret recipe coffee.

"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?" A hand is raised.

"Yes?" Weiss is excited to blurt out the answer.

"The battle at Fort Castle!"

"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 and shout.

"Hey!"

Oobleck does his signature zoom over into Jaune's face.

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

Jaune panics.

"Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... that the Faunus..." He looks behind Oobleck's focused face at Pyrrha, who coughs and motions to her lips as she gives him the answer.

"...had over that guy's stuff..." He sees Pyrrha cup her hands around her eyes and goes for the most obvious answer.

"Uhh... Binoculars!"

While Jaune looks pleased with his answer, the class laughs at him and Oobleck (somehow immediately back at the front of the class) sips his coffee. Pyrrha sighs and slaps a hand to her forehead as Cardin pounds his fist on his desk while laughing. Oobleck is suddenly back at Jaune's desk.

"Very funny, 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."

Tobias growls and speaks up.

"So if I give you a plate of chilli cheese fries, does that mean I can make you jump through a hoop no worries?" The class laughs as Y/N joins in.

"Maybe I should carry some Cardin Snacks in a bag around with me. That should give you the courage to kill a Beowolf or two." Again the whole class laughs and even Oobleck gives a small smirk behind his mug. Cardin however isn't as amused.
