POV- Faith

That was enjoyable. Is what he thought when he fought his opponents. It was an opportunity for him to let off some steam. He didn't have a good day yesterday with all the arguing. And worse he didn't get much sleep so when he woke up he decided to train himself. Not necessarily the best moments in his life.

But the worse thing was when he was sleeping. It was the first time for over 3 years. He saw the being who gave him power. The powerful eyes that can see through everything. The Sharingan. The being did nothing new. It told him the same lines he was given the first day he came to this world.

But this time he figured out something. It told him to get power at all costs. But yesterday was the day he teamed up with Yatsuhachi, Coco and Velvet. Did it mean something? Was it trying to tell him that the key to growing stronger was them? But he came to a realization. If what drove him to evolve his eye powers were strong emotions like sadness, loneliness and anger, then what would he need to do.

Did the eyes tell him that they would soon die and he would gain his new power? That he would have to let them die? Or that he would have to kill them himself. He shook of the thought immediately. He wanted power but at what cost. Did he really want to kill these people?

For now, he put that thought off his head at all cost. When the time comes, his future self would decide. It was not his problem. His future self would be smarter so he would do it. He walked to class as it was starting. People began looking at him and whispering. Professor Port with his non-existing eyes looked at him with a sigh.

He probably heard what happened. Although he didn't know Port that well, he still knew a bit about him. Professor Port is someone who is prideful but also gentle. Arrogant but not in a bad way. He doesn't put himself above others just because he's stronger. Instead, he put his arrogance in his experiences. Showing his prowess on stories about how strong he is and was.

Although some say he is fat, I don't think he is. He's just a bit... uhhh, obese? Just a bit. His flamboyant moustache covers up his obesity. Makes up for his manliness.

The class began and he sat down next to his team. They began looking at him with mixed emotions. But he didn't explain himself and sat down to listen to Port. At least, that was what it looked like but he was thinking about his dream while at the same time not thinking about it. It kept bugging him but he was trying to avoid the topic.

Meanwhile, Port was explaining Grimms and their power. He was most of time talking about how great he was and how everyone should follow his lead and be someone with power by telling his 'heroic tales' about his younger days.

Faith attention was then brought to Port. "Who amongst you would demonstrate your prowess as a Huntsman and Huntress in training." Port looked at everyone but no one raised their hand. Surprisingly, one hand was up. It was Velvet.

I guess she wants to prove her prowess through actions like I did this morning. "Ah yes

Miss. Scarlatina, please come up on stage." Professor Port then went and brought out a giant cage. The giant cage kept making metallic sound and constantly shake.

Port then placed it at the other side of where Velvet was standing. He took out his weapon which was a double-sided battle axe and a gun. "Are your ready Miss. Scarlatina?" She was about to go barehanded and fight the Grimm. But I stop her and stand up getting everyone's attention.

I walk on stage and hand over my weapon to her. She had to ability to copy ones movement from watching. And she watched me fight this morning so she should be able to easily defeat this Grimm. I don't say anything and walk back to my seat and sit down. She looked at me but I only nod.

She got the message and looked back at the cage. "I'm ready." With that Port cut off the lock holding the cell and a boar type Grimm charged at her. She jumped to the side and slashed at it only for it to have minimal effect. I knew it's weakness was it's underbelly but I didn't say anything. She would have to figure out how to get out of this circumstance by herself.

Velvet used the gun and shot at it. It only proved to annoy the Grimm as it rolled and charged at her. She stood her ground and timed at the right moment hitting the boar in the head stopping its charge. She then used her strength to flip it and it fell on its back. She threw the spear with a powered shot hitting it in the belly killing it. Black smoke began appearing as it faded away.

"Bravo! Bravo! Seems like we are in the presence of a future Huntress. Well done Miss. Scarlatina your form was perfect." The bell rang before he could continue.

"I'm afraid that we have no more time. Be sure to finish the assigned readings. And remember, stay vigilant. Class dismissed!" Everyone began walking away from class and Velvet came back with us.

"That was a good move Velvet." Coco complemented her.

"Oh, thank you. I still can't compare to you." She replied bashfully.

Yatsu nodded. "Yeah if you make your weapon then you would be invincible."

"That's not true." She cut them off. "I'm not good at having long drawn out fights like you Coco. My semblance uses up a lot of my energy and the weapon that I made a blueprint of is going to take up a lot of dust. I'd at most be able to make 10 weapons before running out dust."

He looked at her. "So you're stamina is the problem. I mean, yes you can only make 10 weapons but you should still be able to handle yourself in a fight even if it's just one weapon. The problem is your semblance. It drains you too much."

"You should try to make your weapon as fast as possible but you should also have some endurance training."
