So here’s the thing about scheduling, sometimes things get screwed up. So grandma’s first class was pushed to the next day. So the two of us spent the day together, grandma gave a mock class to practice to be a teacher. It was hard to judge her since she was teaching me since I was little.

When the next day came around I saw it was her class first so we both went to the classroom and I went to get seated. I saw a number of other students were there already, talking and laughing. One thing stood out was that they were all grouped up in their teams and I was sitting by myself. It didn’t bother me that much, it just means I had more elbow room. As the bell went off Headmaster Ozpin walked out up front and got everyone's attention.

“Now settle down everyone, I have some important news to tell you all.” He announced and got everyone's attention. “As you all could tell, the last period of your first day was a little shaky, that because today we welcome a new student and a new professor to Beacon Academy.” His attention was moved towards and nodded at me. “As you all saw from your scrolls, the one student is here with us, please let Miss Warren feel welcomed.”

This drew some mutters from some students and some stares. I shrank a bit and simply waved at them as the Headmaster continued. “And now, for the Professor. From what I’ve been told she’s one of the best in her field. Please welcome Professor Mavis Mal Kun.” The Headmaster announced as grandma walked up beside him. There were a few claps from other students and more muttering. “Miss Mal Kun, you wish to say anything to your class?” Headmaster Ozpin asked.

“I simply wish to say that it will be honour to teach today's youth in the ways of the Huntsmen,” Grandma said all with a gentle smile, the mutterings, however, have yet to seize and I could hear almost all of them and they ranged from simple conversation while others simply muttered how hot she looked. I giggled at this as the Headmaster left and we started the class as grandma asked each of us to say their names. There were some men down near the middle of the room whispered something about this sounds something that kindergarten kids would do. Grandma arched a brow at the quietly laughing men before grabbing a ruler and smacking it on the nearest one’s desk.

“Names. Now.” She said to them, her demeanour changing drastically. This made everyone jump in surprise, making me wince a little at her demeanour change. Soon we went around and said each of our names and what team they’re on. Those are team RWBY, JNPR, CRDL, and one other that I kinda missed over some talking from said team. When it came to me I told them my named and I was on team V, since I wasn’t on a team at the moment. This got a few laughs before grandma got everyone's attention.

“Now then, I've taken the liberty in going through each and everyone's files here,” Grandma said out loud as she sat down on her desk before continuing. “Your semblances, weapons and aura strength.” She said, rolling her hand around in an etc motion before adding. “The majority of you are quite adept in fighting but there is always room for improvements I always say.” She said before snapping her fingers, changing the classroom around us into a small fighting arena… Wait do all classroom do this? I heard a small groan coming from the blonde haired guy from team JNPR, I think his name was Jaune. There was some more muttering, now interest became known for what grandma has planned. “Now then, what I have planned is simple. One team will come down here and face me, I will evaluate your skills in teamwork and combat.”

This was surprised to all but me, some looked at one another with odd and worried looks, one team seemed a bit smug as they looked like they can handle it.

“Now hold on.” One of the students, a white-haired woman with her hair in a ponytail that’s offset, her name was Weiss. “This is the first day of school, some of us barely know our teammates and haven’t gotten much time to work on our teamwork.”

“Hey, I believe we can do good.” The girl next to Weiss said she had black hair with some red highlights, pale skin and silver eyes. She had a smile on her face that screamed ‘Everything is Great!’ Weiss frowned at her teammate before grandma spoke up.

“If you wish to go first, come on down,” Grandma said, motioning them down to her with a smile. Weiss’ eyes widen, seemed to have gotten her and her team in a bit of a pickle for speaking out. The one beside her, a long-haired blonde woman named Yang, seemed to smile at this.

“Yeah! Bring it on!” She said happily, making some of the students chuckle a bit. Weiss put her head into her hand and groaned a bit. It was at this point that the four of them stood up and went over to where grandma was. They all had their weapons in hand or in the blondes case, hands. Yang looked at grandma and smiled at her, even winking at her. Grandma had a small blush before she placed down the ruler on her desk and stood up.

“Now don't be afraid to hold back,” Grandma said, an arm on her back while the other was at the ready. The four of them looked at one another but didn’t question it as the first one to throw the first punch, literary, was Yang. She ran up to grandma with her arms up in like a boxer and threw a jab at grandma. The latter was quick to grab the jab and simply move it aside like nothing, which nearly made Yang stumble down with the force Grandma used. Yang blinked a few times before turning back as Ruby, the youngest of the four, heck I think she’s the youngest out of everyone in the room, bolted forward leaving behind petals behind her. Her weapon extended to its full size and I saw it was a large scythe. I couldn’t help but ‘awed’ at the sight of it as she took a swing at grandma, only for her to dodge it effortlessly. Just before Ruby could try again, Grandma grabbed the blade of the scythe before pushing her away with the same force used against Yang. Now Grandma held the scythe in hand and by the look on her face, she was intrigued by its design.

Taking the chance, since grandma was distracted the woman with long black hair and a black bow in said hair threw her weapon off and used the ribbon rope, I think, to send it towards grandma as she was looking at Ruby’s scythe. Grandma glanced at this before quickly grabbing the ribbon, wrapping it around her hand before sending Blake out of the ring as well. All was left was Weiss, who was standing there with her rapier. She just watched three of her teammates got thrown out without breaking a sweat as grandma looked at her with the scythe in hand.

“Uhh, no.” She stated, stepping out of the ring. I chuckled a little as Yang jumped up.

“I’ll take her spot! I got to try again!” Yang said, looking like she was ready for round two. Grandma smiled at this before she handed Ruby her scythe back. The latter hugged the dangerously large scythe-like it was a lost child.

“Only this one Miss Xiao Long.” Said Grandma with a chuckle as she stepped into the middle of the ring, her regaining her earlier battle stance. Yang went around and got into the ring as Weiss went back to her seat with the other two, Ruby was still holding her weapon, now a bit smaller than before, as Yang bolted forward, this time a bit more alert as she threw a jab to grandma, only for it to be a feint as she tried to sweep grandma's legs. This actually caught Grandma by surprise but she quickly reacted before she hit the ground, simply pushing herself up with one hand. Now back on her feet, Grandma was impressed over how Yang was quick to deceive her and catch her off guard. Yang continued to throw punches, quick ones and throw some kicks in as well. This was the first time I met someone that was actually putting up a good fight against grandma. I even saw some of her punches get close to hitting grandma.

As this went on I notice one thing about this, grandma was smiling. She was having fun with this spar. It wasn't until Grandma noticed that this was dragging on and she still had a class to evaluate so with an open palm shove, Yang was sent flying back up her seat, nearly breaking the desk from the crash.

“Oops,” Grandma said, realizing that she put a little too much oomph into it. “My apologies Miss Xiao Long, I didn't mean for that to occur,” Grandma said apologetically.

“That… was… AWESOME!” Yang cheered, a big smile on her face as she chuckled to herself. “And it’s fine, I can take a few hits.” She added with a bright smile. Most of the students were quietly laughing at this, while others were quietly making fun of the team's performance against, and I quote, ‘An Old Hag.’ Grandma paid them no mind, not caring for her their insults but that didn't mean I did the same. I felt furious over their words and had half a mind to smack them against the wall.

The next group came up, team JNPR and as they started they all charged at grandma at once, something team RWBY didn't do when they went. Sure they lasted a little longer but they we all knocked out as well, Jaune was the first one out and he seemed like he knew it from the beginning.

“Should’ve stepped out.” He muttered as the rest of team stood by him, trying to cheer him up.

“Hey teach.” One of the guys from team CRDL spoke up, he had short brown hair and looked big. “You said everyone in their team gets to fight, but what about her.” He asked, pointing up at me. “She has no team.” Grandma looked at the man that said this, arching a brow before closing her eyes.

“Miss Warren, if you'd be so kind.” She said to me simply and I quickly stood up before heading down towards her. She stood on one side of the ring while I stood opposite of her. We both entered our battle stances before we dashed towards one another, attempting to trade blows but all we did was block the each other’s attack perfectly and without faltering.

I narrow my eyes a bit and as I threw a punch a trail of fire followed behind. This pushed grandma back a bit as I pushed forward, trying to leave her no real chance to recover… that is until my leg was kicked under me. I was quick to recover and landed on my feet albeit shakingly. Seeing as this was enough of a demonstration, she nodded at me and I was free to go back to my seat.

Everyone stared at me as I walked back up, in shock that, other than Yang and the Red haired girl from team JNRP was able to put up a good fight. I sat back down in my seat and looked back down to listen. Mutterings of shock and awe were mostly heard until heard before the guy that outed me out stood up, looking like he didn't want to be outdone by someone else. His pals looked at one another, silently questioning their supposed leader.

“Yes, Mister Winchester?” Grandma asked, crossing her arms as she did. He looked back at me before looking at grandma.

“I'm calling bull on that, there's no way a Faunus girl like her can put up a fight like that.” He stated, earning some frowns from me and some others. Grandma kept a straight face even after he said that before saying.

“Then prove it if you would.” She said, taking what is most definitely another easy win for her. The man frowned before marching down to her despite his teammates telling him not to.

“Shut up! I got this.” He said as he pulled out his weapon, a large mace. He stood on the other side of the ring. Grandma gestured for him to start and he was quick to do so, readying his mace for what would normally be a devastating blow as he charged towards her. When he swung his mace, Grandma only held out a pointer finger and stopped it, causing mace to ring as if it were a bell and shake violently. The shaking travelled down the weapon before greeting the dickhead and he was quick to make his uneasiness known as he dropped his mace and stumbled backwards. He shook his head before looking back at grandma, shocked at how she did that.

“You lack patience, Mister Winchester but go on, feel free to try again as much as you'd like,” Grandma said to the shocked burly man. I could've sworn I heard a whine behind me but I didn't know from who. After the man shook his head he picked up his mace he got ready to attack.

This went on for some time, ending up the same as the others soon started to do other things. I looked back to see team RWBY either reading, watching or, in Ruby's case, sleeping. I shook my head before the guy was knocked out of the ring, panting and gasping as he looked up at grandma.

“That's enough, Mister Winchester,” Grandma said to him as he stood back up, panting and using the mace as support to keep him up. He wanted to say something but was too out of breath before he went back to his seat. Grandma looked to the third team but they all shook their heads, not wanting to get beaten so easily. It was then that a bell rang, signalling everyone to move to the next class. Grandma said her goodbyes as almost everyone left.

All the was left was me and team RWBY, the latter was trying to wake their young leader from her nap. I walked over to grandma as the room turned back into a classroom.

“That was interesting.” I said to her with a smile. Grandma smiled at me and said.

“Thank you, dear and I must say that I enjoyed our little demonstration.” She said to me, chuckling while she did. I chuckled as well as we looked over at the other team, Yang was shaking Ruby awake, which earned a chuckle from Blake and a groan from Weiss. It wasn't until Grandma walked up to help them that Ruby finally woke up, though when she did she clung onto her weapon once more.

“You four should go along now, you don't want to miss your next class,” Grandma said with her calming smile at the four of them. The four of them nodded and they left, Weiss was scolding Ruby for falling asleep which the latter simply smiled at her friend. Right before they leave Yang looked back at us and smiled at grandma warmly before leaving. Grandma chuckled to herself before sitting down.

“You know, she reminds me so much of your grandfather.” Grandma said to me, surprising me when she did.

“Really?” I asked before arching a brow. “Was that the reason for that blush before?”

“She simply surprised me, I hadn't expected someone to find me attractive in my current form as I am, how mortals call… old.” She said to me, looking down at herself as she did.

“Well, some did say you look hot, Yang is just the only one to show interest…” I said before thinking about it. I know that having interested to say older or younger of you isn't a good idea but grandma is older than this place five times over so… I didn't know what to think. This got her to chuckle a bit.

“To be young and in love.” She said with a little chuckle, though I could sense some sadness from her voice. After all, if Yang, the blonde boxer of team RWBY, reminded Grandma of Grandpa, then it would be understandable. She looked over at me and arch a brow before I realized that I was going to be late for my class. I turned and ran off to my next class.

A few months later

It been a few months of school and so far its been enjoyable. Grandma continued to teach her classes, becoming a well-respected professor. It was funny how her classes mirrored Indigos as he mostly focused on combat while grandma focused education. Speaking of Indigo, some of his teaching methods were questionable and it doesn't help for the fact that he drinks… like a lot. I haven't really seen him sober once and I've even asked him, his only answer was that sobering up is nothing but bad memories.

I felt bad for him when he said that and there were times that I tried to cheer him up which led to no success. I did know that he did cheer up when talking to Blake. I raised a brow at this but didn't press it any further.

I became good friends with team RWBY, having some good fun with them though Weiss was somewhat cold towards me. The others say she's like that to everyone but I don't know… she seemed colder to me.

At the moment I didn't think about it as I was in the middle of a test grandma made for us. Rumours say that her tests were the worse as how hard they are, though if you studied they weren't that bad. Sometimes her tests are regular on paper tests while other times she pits one team against the other and whoever showed the most team cooperation has passed the test. It could lead with both sides passing the test or in the case of CRDL, only one as they have shown to lack coordination and it's not even the teams fault it's mostly Cardin. Luckily for everyone, today's test was on paper, so to whoever took the time to study can ace the test with no problem.

Grandma was simply sitting by her desk, reading up on some news articles in through her scroll while everyone did their test. I scratched my head as I was having a tough time with a few questions as I felt like grandma made my test a bit harder as she knew me and taught me all I knew.

I glanced around to see the others working on theirs, Weiss and Blake were doing alright while Ruby and Yang… not so well. Yang was so focused on hers and Ruby… well she looked like she was going to pull her hair out.

Before long there was a buzzer went off and grandma turned the timer off. She placed her scroll down and stood up from her chair.

“Pencils down everyone.” She said out loud and everyone did with some groaning for not having finished it. She went by from row to row and picked up each test paper while I tried to finish mine before she got to me. I was fortunate enough to finish just before she picked mine up and I could only sigh in relief when she did. She picked up Weiss and Blake's soon after me, both of whom looked confident with their answers. She then came up to Yang, seeing the boxer of the team sitting patiently with a smile, her smile brightened once Grandma picked up her test before coming up to Ruby. The latter looked to have given up beforehand. Grandma saw her test and arched a brow before speaking with Ruby silently, so no one else would hear. Whatever it was she said, Ruby, nodded and a little smile.

She went around to the others and picked up theirs before returning to her desk and looked through all of the tests before putting them into piles of each team. I knew were mine was as it was the one pile with only one test in it. Just as she sat down, the bell rang and Grandma quickly.

“Class dismissed, I will see you all tomorrow.” She said to all of us and upon hearing her words most of the students got up from their seats and moved along towards the next class. As I got my stuff packed so I could move on I heard someone walk up to me.

“Umm, Viri can I asked you something.” Ruby asked me. I turned to her and blinked.

“Sure, what do you need?” I asked.

“Umm, can you… help me study during lunch?” She asked before adding. “Professor Mavis said I could retake the test and I really need help. So please~!” I again blinked at her before smiling.

“Sure, I don't mind helping- whoa!” I yelped as Ruby hugged me.

“Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!” she said before letting me go and bolting out of the room. Grandma must've seen this happen because I heard her holding back a laugh, letting a few chuckles out instead.

“You are being a big help for her, she really needs it.” Grandma said to me, chuckling still. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her.

“Yeah… sometimes I wish she doesn't hug me every time out of the blue. Sometimes they freak me out.” I said to her as I finish packing. “So… did I do good on your test?” I asked. Grandma chuckled and said.

“Viri, you know I can't answer that. You'll need to wait just like everyone else.” She said to me, her words have yet to change since the last time I asked her this. I let out a sigh before chuckling.

“I know grandma, thought maybe you give in this time.” I said earning a chuckle from her. She was about to say something but there was a small intake of air. We both turned and saw Yang there, surprised to hear this.

“You two… are family?” She asked the both of us. I blinked a few times before realizing that most people didn't know that I was related to grandma.

“Yes, Yang. Viri is my granddaughter.” Grandma said to the surprised blonde. Yang looked between the two of us.

“Huh… I can kinda see it…” She said before looking like she realized something. Her face and stance slumped a bit and looked a little sad. “I… see you two tomorrow.” She stated before leaving the room. Grandma watched as Yang disappeared, her own taking a sadder one.

“Have… have I done something wrong?” Grandma asked as she looked back at me. I thought about it before figuring it out.

“She thinks you're married.” I answered, making grandma blink. Although she had known about Yang's interest in her, Grandma thought it was just an odd phase she was going through but I knew better than that. Yang had actually fallen for her but why is my only question. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like Yang having the hots for Grandma, it's just I'm curious as to why.

“O-oh my.” She said to herself, finally realizing that it was no phase. It even brought a blush to her cheeks.

“Yeah, I figured it was that after seeing her look at you. It's also why she is putting more effort into your classes than others… though it did leak over to other classes. I'm surprised that she fell for you hard.” I explained to grandma.

“I don't… I don't know what to say really. I mean I'm flattered and all but… shouldn't she find companionship in someone her age?” She said with a little confusion. She placed a hand over her chest as if to feel her heartbeat. I arch a brow at this, did she… also have feelings?

“I'll go talk to her.” I said to grandma before leaving her alone. After walking around I found Yang banging her head on a wall.

“Stupid… stupid… stupid…” She said over and over again. I walked up to her.

“Hey, you okay?” I asked Yang, after she bang her head on the wall for the last time she looked over at me.

“...No…” She said before signing. “Just did a dumb thing… again.” I blinked at this, again?

“What do you mean?” I asked. Yang sighed at this before looking at me.

“I do like to flirt with other people… but there are times when I flirt with people a bit older than me… and don't think it in a bad way, it's a weird thing that never really left.” Yang explained before looking worried at me. “She's not mad at me?”

“No… no more surprised and flattered really. She wonders why your not interested in others around your age?” I asked her. She simply shrugged at me.

“Just a feeling that's she different. Somehow special… I feel happy when I'm in her class… is that weird?” Yang asked.

“I… don't know… maybe not…” I said, scratching my head a bit before she sighed.

“Right… I guess her husband is really something huh.” she said with a chuckle. I shrugged.

“I guess, I haven't seen him since he died when I was young.” I said before realizing what i said and looked at her.

“Ohhh… that sucks.” Yang said as she scratched her head. I notice she Demeter changed a bit, a bit more brighter than before. It was odd that she would brighten up at the mention of Grandma’s deceased husband but I guess I could understand why, still didn't fix that it was a little creepy though.

The both of us headed to our next class and after a few hours it was lunch and I was in the library waiting for Ruby to study. I was reading a good book when my scroll that I got from my aunt buzzed as I got a call. I answered it and saw it was grandma.

“Hi grandma.” I greeted her.

“Hello dear, I'm sorry if this sounds selfish but I called to ask if Yang is alright.” She said, her voice concerned over the blonde boxer.

“She's fine, says she's used to this sort of thing since she does flirt with people who are older.” I paused a bit and looked away. “and uhh… might have slipped that you're single… sorry.” I said guilty to her. This only got a chuckle before she said.

“Oh it's alright, dear though I suppose I now know who left a bouquet of roses on my doorstep. It even came with a card.” She said with a little laugh, an excited one at that.

“You seem happier than before.” I pointed out to her, seeing her chuckle like this.

“Viri, you don't know how happy this makes me feel. It makes me feel countless younger.” She said to me, her smile growing before she said. “I have never felt this way since Jericho and while I'll always keep him close to my heart, I know he wouldn't want me mourn forever and not move on.” She said to me as she grasped the necklace around her neck. She looked down at it, smiling as she did. I giggled at this.

“Someone has a crush~” I teased her with a laugh.

“Perhaps I do.” She said, holding up a single rose flower. She smiled at it, spinning it between her fingers before she said. “I'll leave you to your business, I'm going to put these roses in a vase.” She said before waving goodbye and hanging up.

Just as she did Ruby came over and greeted me. The two of us spent the next while studying, Ruby also said that this was much easier and after the bell rang for our next class and was more than ready to retake that test.

When the school day was done and I went back to my dorm to study a bit and hang around. When I was reading I got a message from Ruby, showing me that she got a B- and was really happy. I smiled and sent a good job to her before going back to my book.

Author's Note

Now, normally I don’t condone romances between two people that their ages are way far apart, as in Yang is eighteen and Mavis looks Fourty... but Mavis is a goddess who’s older than everyone three times over... Don’t know how to make that more clear.

But anyway Team RWBY! Yay!
