At a combat class.
Hermione was the one who would be teaching for today instead of Glinda because she had a meeting with the headmaster right now.
Yoda was also not there to teach everyone about the force because there's a certain group of people Sullivan didn't want him to teach.
No one talked about the force too because it would be their advantage when they fought the opponent who came from the other academies in the tournament.
Cinder and her lackey had made their way to the Beacon with Leonardo's help. Emerald and Mercury had a bag under their eyes. Something very annoying happened to them lately.
The duo was very stressful. Roman didn't take them seriously anymore and always messed with them.
They hated the man to their very bone and to add salt to the injuries. Neo who should be with them now was nowhere to be found. When they came inside the academy.
She just went to do what she wanted and didn't give a flying fuck with them.
They wanted to give the little girl a lesson but Cinder prohibited them. She only told them that if they fight with her.
They'd die. She could feel that the young girl wasn't the same as before anymore. And she didn't like it one bit.
'So that's why Roman was so confident. Some people with a very strong semblance are helping him'
She was now looking at the combat class and didn't care whether Neo was there or not. She could do whatever she wanted, as long as she did her job well.
Cinder was surprised by how big the class was. It had a very large stadium in the middle.
And then she looked at Hermione. She now had information about her. She was related to her target that could threaten her queen's existence.
She had gathered enough information about her target through the big boss of the biggest underground gang. She was someone Cinder thought that she would never want to fight face to face.
She shook the thought out of her mind then focused on the matter at hand. When the time comes she just kills her with the grimm.
Now she will test the water first to determine how dangerous this combat instructor can be. And then she will inform her mistress after this.
At the same time in the same class.
Team RPWBY.
Ruby was feeling sad right now. Sullivan and Ai weren't in the class with them.
"I want to go with her too."
Pyrrha looked at Ruby who was feeling down right now. She couldn't help but want to cheer her up.
"Don't be sad, Ruby. They will come back after the class. Sullivan messaged me that he had a surprise for you, Oh, and Yang too."
Hearing that Ruby was happy. And Yang was surprised.
"He'll give us a surprise! I like surprises!"
"Me too? Really."
"Yes he told me that it was the greatest gift for you two."
Ruby and Yang looked at each other and really wanted to know what surprise Sullivan had for them.
They knew a surprise coming from a wizard would be a thousand times better than normal.
So they couldn't wait.
As the class went on Hermione taught them about battle awareness and about how to fight against the horde of grimm.
"Today I'll teach you how to deal with a horde of grimm that might break out into the city. You have to survive first before thinking of helping anyone. Even though a huntsman and huntress's duty is to help the weak, if you die because you have to help someone that means you are the weak one too. So help yourself first."
Everyone heard that there were some students who took offense to her word and wanted to argue but before they had a chance something happened to the classroom. It changed from a stadium into an open area in the middle of Vale City.
They were intrigued by the change in scenario. They didn't think that Beacon Academy would have such terrain changing technology. Even atlas didn't have that.
The one who was the most surprised of them all was Cinder. She, who had the power of the fall maiden, could feel the magic all over the place!
