Diane stormed into Ozpin’s office with a scowl “Professor Port brought a Grimm into the classroom! Do you realise how crazy that is?!”

Ozpin raised an eyebrow “How else are huntresses in training supposed to fight Grimm if they don’t face them at the school?”

Diane frowned “Ozpin, he pointed his Blunderbuss at the students. He needs to be more careful, as for the Grimm it should have be done in a way didn’t threaten the students who weren’t fighting.”

Ozpin nodded “That is a valid concern, you are very smart for your age. Yet again you have been taught by Ironwood, he takes safety as a very serious concern.” He then sighed “Sometimes he worries too much.”

Diane bowed “I wish you luck, Headmaster Ozpin.” Diane stepped out only to see Sunset, Cardin, Weiss and Blake outside. Diane nodded “We better go over some of the books before the next class.”

Sunset nodded with a smile “I agree, my, mentor Swordmaster Celestia always taught me the importance of studying hard. We should head to the our dorm.”

Blake nodded “Maybe we can study with Team LNTVO, Lie Ren seems to be a studious type. I doubt Team RPJRY will be so keen, Rainbow doesn’t seem to be one for studying.”

Cardin rubbed the back of his head “I’ll be fine as long as you keep Octavia away from me, we didn’t exactly get along on the way here. I’m confident she is still holding a grudge.” Meanwhile Rainbow Dash was snoring as Ruby and Yang were throwing pillows at one another. Pyrrha and Jaune were training together on the roof.

Back in Team DSBUC’s room, Vinyl was frowning as she concentrated on the book she was reading alongside Cardin. Octavia whispered to Blake as they were working through some combat problems “How can you handle such a Faunus Hater being in your team?”

Blake frowned “He’s learning, right now he is acting as a fellow soldier but with time we can help him overcome his prejudice.”

Weiss walked over from working with Tempest and sat down “How are you two doing?”

Blake nodded whispering “Good Weiss, we just discussing Cardin. Octavia wanted to know how I could trust a ‘Faunus Hater’.”

Weiss rolled her eyes “I am the heir to the Schnee Dust Company and Blake is a former member of the White Fang. By all reasons we should be the most hated of enemies but as you can see that is not the case. We have chose a different path, a different way. It’s why we trust Diane above all else, she has proven in just one day to be a capable leader.”

Octavia looked at Lie Ren who was frowning as Nora complained “Do we really have to study? It’s so boring.”

Vinyl rolled her eyes “I’m all for fun Nora but you get nowhere without some hard work. One doesn’t become a skilled DJ in a rural Faunus village without some serious know-how. You are never too cool for school.”

Diane was solving problems a remarkable speed, her mind running quickly. She had been solving combat problems all her life and many of these were simple compared to what she was used to. Tempest growled “I don’t get this, what kind of operations are they running in these problems!”

Diane frowned s she looked over her notes “These are not large scale battles, these are often Grimm hunts. Grimm are much more instinct driven than people, it was one of the reason Faunus were hated as we often closely associated with the Grimm for some reason.”

Cardin nodded “Those two Grimm mentioned that Faunus were descended from Grimm. That does explain the animal features but that doesn’t explain how they can use aura while Grimm can’t.”

Sunset frowned “Can I trust you to all keep a secret, it wouldn’t be good if anyone new about this.” Everyone nodded, Sunset’s body began turning black as white Grimm plates and red markings began forming on her body.

Everyone watched in shock except Diane and Tempest, Cardin shook himself out of his stupor and touched the plates on her arm “Hard like steel but flexible enough to absorb impacts.”

Sunset returned to normal with a sigh “I was a little worried you would all hate me. Grimm are our enemies and the fact I can turn into one partially…”

Cardin was the first to respond “No, I must admit I have been firmly in the anti-Faunus camp for sometime. Yet watching Diane’s ability to inspire change, to see Weiss and Blake getting along. Trust has to begin somewhere.”

Diane smiled “I’m glad your starting to see Cardin” she then turned to Sunset “I’m glad you have trusted us with this. We will not say a word.”

Lie Ren nodded “I agree with Diane, we will keep this silent.” he then turned to Nora “I understand how you get excited but this needs to be kept secret.”

Nora nodded at him with a smile, she then grinned “After this how about we have a slumber party!”

Diane paused as she heard a voice shout from far away (Party!) She shook her head brushing away the thought “As long as you are okay getting up early, my team does training early in the mornings. It helps keep us in shape, maybe you can join us.”

Tempest turned to them “That would be a good idea, we should never let ourselves get rusty. We seem live in a time of relative peace where the biggest threat are small groups but that can change. War can emerge at any time.”

Octavia frowned “No-one would start a war with all the Grimm around, they would be attracted by the immense pool of negative emotions.”

Vinyl shook her head “War had befallen the world before, eighty years ago so many lives were lost. That could so easily happen again, we must be ready to step in and protect the world from the Grimm.”

Diane nodded “Indeed but we must work together to succeed at that task. We also must do our best to prevent a war from breaking out.” They all nodded before returning to their studies.
