"I never saw you as a fighter" yang said as our ship flew over the forest "I admit I always thought myself as more of an intellectual but I can assure you as a huntsman Ive had my fair share of tussles"
"Penelope" I said as I face palmed "It's an airship. You've ridden one before" Penelope was in the corner of the airship hugging herself "you don't know when the ship could crash!"
Poppy just pulled me away as she swapped places with me "what's wrong with Penelope?" Ruby asked "She has a fear of hights. When she was a kid her airship malfunctioned and crashed. Few people got injured but ultimately everyone was ok. Though now she gets scared to fly"
Ruby nodded "poor girl" I shrugged "she will be fine." I walked over to Weiss and put my hand on her shoulder "Neptune hasn't spoken to you right?" She sighed "(y/n) I've told you. We arnt kids anymore. Stop being so protective"
"Besides given my expertise in the field of history as well as my dabblings in the archeological surveys out dear headmaster saw fit to assign me to this particular assignment" Oobleck spoke fast. "What does history have to do with this?" Weiss asked
"Why such a rediculas question silly girl!" Oobleck said as he turned to Weiss "history is the backbone of our very society...and the liver!" He added.
"Teach. I gotta ask" I said as I raised my hand "yes (y/n)" "why exactly are we studying mountain Glenn? We know all about it. A failed expansion of Vale that was overun by Grimm and eventually...wiped out"
Oobleck.nodded "yes. You are correct. But!" He said as he raised his hand in the air with his index finger out "it's a likey place for a hideout" Blake said as I looked at her and Oobleck fixed his glasses "Precisely" he smirked
The bullhead hovered close to the ground as we all jumped out. Yang landing first. Then Blake. Then Weiss. Oobleck and Ruby. Then me, Penelope Rachel and poppy jumped out. Poppy and Penelope by Blake and yang and Rachel and me by Weiss and Ruby. We all had our weapons out and we're prepared
"I know your still students but ladies today your first mission as Huntresses has begun. From this point forward you will do exactly as I say." Oobleck said before panning over to Ruby
"Ruby! I thought I told you to leave your bag at beacon!" Ruby nodded "you did but you handy told us to listen to you yet...so I didn't" Oobleck thought for a moment before he whispered to himself "she's not wrong"
"Very well leave your bag here we shall pick it up upon our return" Ruby argued "but-" "young lady! What could you possibly have in that bag that must b-" Zwei peeked his head out and looked at Oobleck
All of us looked at Ruby and zwei before Ruby looked back and whispered "get back in the bag" "we are here to investigate a ruined forest teeming with death and hostility..
And you brought...a dog" Oobleck looked her in the eye.
"I uh-" he interupted Ruby again "GENIUS!!!!" Oobleck quite literally spun away before dashing last Ruby and grabbing zwei. He was so fast that the force made Ruby soon as she fell over "K9s are historical known for their sharp noses and excellent sense of sound! Making them perfect companions for Huntsmen and huntresses around!" He said quickly while spinning
"I'm a genius" Ruby said as she smirked we all sighed "so what are your orders Doctor?" Blake asked "ah yes! Straight to the chase! I like it!" Oobleck said as he dropped zwei but I dived and caught him
"As you've been informed the southeast area is a recent hot spot for Grimm activity there are several explanation for this behavior one of which being...Grimm" he stopped as he looked at us. "Nani" I said
"What?" Ruby asked "Grimm. A creature of Grimm approximately 100 meters away from us at this very moment" he said as we all turned to look "what?!" Weiss said as they all pointed their weapons at it "stop. There are a number of reasons why Grimm would cultivate in this spot" he said "most obvious being their attraction to negativity"
