Who is Lincoln

I had a suspicion that Jaune was either Lincoln himself or simply his son. Lincoln would've died before me and I was working for the purple godly creature. While I assume Lincoln was working for the guys brother. He may not even be named Lincoln anymore. Jaune seemingly was the guys embodiment, when I looked at the kid. All I was reminded of was Lincoln.

I moved through the halls. The first day for the students was a one big slumber party. Now however they had dorms. Meaning I could break into Jaune's dorm and look through his stuff. Hopefully I could find a family photo or something.

I tried the door handle and the thing was locked. I rolled my eyes, "Enchant: unlock." I then opened the door. I noticed though that the lock was still activated. It seemed I needed more experimentation. The enchantment unlock seemingly didn't actually unlock said item. It just let me open it while it was locked.

Just a minor note, I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the room. Neatly sorted, impressive really.

Ren and Nora were homeless so they had few items. That made it easier to identify Pyrrha and Jaune's stuff. Pyrrha had all her clothes sorted under her bed within a chest. She had some personal items on a desk. A picture of her mother and a silver coin. 

I looked at Jaune's stuff. His clothes were not many. He owned three shirts, three pants and three jackets. They all looked the same. Thankfully it seemed he didn't reuse underwear on socks. Ignoring his poor hygiene I looked through his personal items.

Looking through his stuff I can conclude Jaune isn't Lincoln. Jaune had a bunch of action figures, comic books of hunters, and a single porno magazine. I wasn't gonna touch that last one, but... something was sticking out of the pages as a book mark. I slipped bookmark out and found it was family picture.

Apparently he had 7 sisters. I almost wanted to say 8, but one was his mother. She just looked young, I stared at the picture though. Jaune wasn't the only one that looked like Lincoln. It wasn't all of the kids in the picture, but in at least 4 of them had clearly resembled the man I considered my rival.

I was glad I wasn't crazy with my thought about Jaune. I had a strong feeling Jaune's father was Lincoln. I turned the picture over. Someone left a note for Jaune. "Stay strong, and may you learn from your mistakes.- Love Dad."

I raised an eyebrow, now was Lincoln dead, or just missing. Was Lincoln actually Jaune's father or was it some ancestor of his. It would annoy me if Lincoln arrived on Remnant before me when I died before him. 

I got up and buried my feelings and put away Jaune's things. I wouldn't get any answers from this. Best on focus on my goals. I smirked, and left the dorms. I would have a class to teach in a bit. From what I knew I would have a classroom all to myself or I can use the practice arena.

After my class the students would immediately start sparring practice. I had to wonder, sure people are as dangerous as Grim if not more. However shouldn't there be a class where the students fight Grim?

I smiled, perhaps I could do a little lessons with the grim. Though I likely would need to catch the damn Grim myself. The teachers make their own curriculum so it was on me to collect any additional things.

I turned the corner and bumped into someone. "Oh, sorry."

The man scoffed, "You are the new educator?"

I looked at the man, realizing who it was I smiled. "Ah, you must be Mr. Hendick."

His eyebrows made a frown in his anger. "It's Sir Hendrick, I'm knighted by the roy-"

II nodded, "That's what II said, Ms. Hen's Dick."

The man's face reddened, he now clearly knew I mispronounced his name on purpose. Be fore he spoke again I waved, "Welp, bye!"

I heard him mutter, "Dirty Faunus."

I turned and gave a vague look of confusion. "I just recently took a shower, how am I dirty?"

His expression soured more. Eventually he turned and marched away. He seemed fun, maybe I'll slowly turn him into a pet that worships Faunus. Maybe, I smiled walking on.
