Chapter 15 - Class

Shallot landed with Blake in his hands and placed her down and walked into the classroom next to her and went to sit down. Shallot and Blake sat down in the middle in the first row at the front of the class. A couple of minutes after they had sat down Team JNPR and the rest of Team RWBYS came through the door and quickly got to their seats.

The class had started and the teacher Peter Port appears to be a man in early old age. He wears a double-breasted burgundy suit with gold piping and buttons. His pants he wears tucked into olive boots, similar in appearance and construction to cavalry boots.

Peter Port: "Monsters!, Demons ... Prowlers of the night. Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names. But I, merely refer to them as prey. Hu-Hah! Haha ... Uhh, and you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy. Now as I was saying, Vale as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world. Our planet is absolutely teaming with creatures that love nothing more than to tear you to pieces. And that's where we come in. Huntsman! Huntresses... *clicks tongue while looking at Yang*"

Shallot: 'Oh come on man. You're too old for this. Just get back to teaching.'

Peter: "Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves. From what you ask? Why... The very world! That is what you are training to become. But first a story."

Shallot: 'Ok I'm done listening. I haven't heard one thing that was useful.'

Shallot pulled out a notebook from his bag and started writing names in it and putting them into columns.

Shallot: 'Ok, Pyrrha has her semblance which is polarity based on my usual notes. She's a close quarter combat type and doesn't have any long-range attacks. We can fix that by having her keep metal daggers on her to use as a range type of attack. In Naruto, Gaara has a Kekkai Genkai for magnet release and would use iron sand, maybe Pyrrha can do the same thing and she could use her semblance to cover her weakness of long-range attacks.

Jaune has a clear aura and I think his semblance was related to aura boosting. I don't know the specifics of his semblance so I'll have to come up with something that could help him later.

Nora has a pretty great semblance where she can discharge electricity and become stronger by using electricity from an outside source to give herself a power amp.

Ren has a semblance that allows him to erase his presence. Maybe if he works on his semblance he can learn to spread his semblance to those close to him to hide their presence. His ability would be good for reconnaissance and espionage so that we could gather information on a Grimm that we may not have information on.

Ruby semblance is related to speed and she is capable of going hypersonic which is good for fast strikes but I've noticed that she seems to rely heavily on her scythe. I'm going to have to teach her hand to hand combat and can have her spar with Blake since she is nimble and also falls under the speed category.

Yang's Semblance is the ability to absorb kinetic energy from the damage she's taken and redirects it twice as hard at her opponent, effectively making her faster and stronger with each hit. It seems that it's similar to the reject dials of one piece with the only drawback being the damage taken to her. Her aura will protect her from any major harm but if I can teach her how to use ki, it will be another way to strengthen her body.

The aura itself seems to negate any type of damage a person takes until it crumbles and it can't be used again until it's recharged. It's one of the reasons why I didn't want to have my aura unlocked at first because it seems a little unreliable once it shatters. However, I wanted to find out if you can protect yourself with Ki and Aura and after some tests, it has proven true.

Weiss semblance is Glyphs. I think her strength is fine but her cocky personality is going to do her in one day and that will have to be fixed. The only thing that matters on the battlefield is strength. As long as Weiss can become more proficient in using her glyphs while also being able to use them in a more versatile manner than she can increase her strength greatly.'

Shallot looked up from his notes he was writing and noticed Weiss down at the bottom fighting a Boarbatusk eventually taking down after yelling at Ruby.

Peter: "Bravo! Braa-vo! It appears that we are indeed in the presence of a true huntress in training. I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings and, stay vigilant. Class dismissed."

Weiss stormed out of the room and Ruby followed behind her while Shallot just put everything back in his bag and got up to leave with Yang and Blake. As they were walking out of the class Yang elbowed Blake lightly to get her attention. Blake turned towards her and lifted an eyebrow trying to see what she wanted.

Yang: "So I've noticed Shallot carrying you while flying to class and you two seem pretty close."

Yang said with a teasing smile on her face.

Blake: "We grew up together. We've been together since we were kids until a couple of years ago when he left ..."

Before Blake could finish what she was saying Shallot interrupted them.

Shallot: "We still need to decide how we are all going to fit in the room since it seems pretty small."

Yang: "Oh, we decided to turn the other beds into bunk beds and where did you get the backpack from. You usually carry around that duffle bag with you."

Shallot: "The duffle bag is in the room. It has everything I need while traveling and I bought this backpack yesterday night before going to our room."

Shallot, Yang, and Blake headed back to the room and Blake and Shallot saw what the others did to the room. One bad was attached to some rope while hanging from the ceiling and the other bed was underneath it.

Shallot: "That seems like a safety hazard but I'll do something about that later."

Yang: "That's my bed and Blakes's bed. didn't have anything to place in between them earlier and was planning on using some glue to try to keep them from moving.

The other two beds just stacked on top of each other by the edge post without keeping anything steady. Shallot walked to his bag and pulled out a hammock with a breakaway stand for the edges and started setting it up in between the two beds that were a hazard. After finishing setting up his hammock he went back into his duffle bag grabbing some metal slabs from the inside.

Yang: "You just keep metal in your bag carrying that everywhere you go."

Shallot: "Everything can be used when your traveling in the wilderness."

Shallot lifted the top bed and lifted it with one hand placing the metal between the legs then placed the bed back down on top of them. He then started slowly putting ki into his hands and having it travel through the metal to make it hot. He then shaped the metal slab into a braced to connect everything so it would fail and be sturdy enough.

He then had Blake get a cold bucket of water and poured it onto the metal the cool it and kept watch over it to make sure nothing went up in flames. He had used his Ki as a mini barrier around the metal to keep the heat from spreading onto the rest of the wood and instead onto the Ki barrier to him.

Yang: "You're really good at this. Were you a carpenter while traveling because you nailed it."

Shallot: "Wood you believe me this is the first time I've done this."

Yang: "That was a great pun. I think we're going to be great friends."

Shallot: "Really, I thought we could be more in a couple of months. I wanted you to be my Yang to my Yin."

Yang looked towards Blake. Wondering if they aren't dating.

Blake: "He's already decided that he's going to have more than one girlfriend and I'm fine with it as long as I can get along with them but just to let you know I'm already his first wife."

Yang looked surprised at this then looked at Shallot checking out his body and thinking about it for a second then looked at Shallot.

Yang: "Well I'll think about it hot stuff but weren't you already hitting on my sister. I can't allow her to be with someone that's just going after girls.

Shallot giggled slightly.

Shallot: "I'm not just going after girls. I'm pursuing you and Ruby because I made a promise to someone and they would tell me stories about you all when you were small."

Yang was surprised about this thinking of only 4 people that would talk about them who she knew. Her uncle Qrow, her dad, her mom but she doubted she would talk about them since she never even came back to them and just abandoned them, and Summer, Ruby's mom who went missing 10 years ago. Everyone has said that she has most likely died though so it couldn't be her.

Yang: "Only if Ruby is okay with it will I allow you to date her and I'll think about your persuing me."

Shallot smiled while looking at Yang.

[AN: Thank you Croopazlo for bringing this to my attention. I usually write this after getting home from work at 9 P.M. Your due diligence will forever be remembered in these author notes.]

Shallot: "Don't worry I'm very charming don't you think."

Shallot said while walking closer to Yang's ear and blowing it.

Shallot:(Whisper) "I think if we had kids in the future they would be far stronger than we are now by the time they are 10."

Yang pushed Shallot back while a slight blush was on her face while looking towards Blake and she just shrugged.

Yang: "Why are you ok with it. People only usually have one parent."

Blake: "I'm fine with you Yang so I don't see anything wrong with it. Shallot comes from a clan of warriors who take multiple wives. He said that once they feel attracted to them there body will heat up and they can feel it in their blood if they should go after the person. He said that anyone he goes after would after his blood in his body and would feel attracted to them. Only the stronger ones are usually capable of having multiple wives but Shallot is considered weak in his clan and was kicked out."

Blake: 'That's what Shallot said anyway but I don't think a group like that exists or the Grimm would have been wiped out a long time ago but I don't think he's lying either. It's more that he's not saying the entire reason of how he ended up in Menagerie. My dad said there were no ships traveling that day due to an accident at sea with a Kraken but told me that he'll tell me on his own. I can understand if he has some secrets since I'm hiding from everyone that I'm a Faunus.'

Yang was processing everything that she was being told and looking at Shallot.

Yang: 'He's considered weak to his clan? What type of monsters birthed him if what he can do is considered weak?'

Yang's heart started beating faster thinking about how he just bluntly told her that he liked her and her sister and didn't know how to react fully to it.

Yang: 'Is he going to do the same thing with Weiss since she's staying in the same room with us.'

Yang: "Are you going to ask Weiss out also?"

Shallot: "Currently no. I don't feel a strong attraction to her like I do for you, Ruby, and Blake."

Yang: "Your pretty open about who you like huh ... well, I think we should get to know each other first. Can you even support three girls by yourself?"

Shallot: "I have acquired quite the amount of funds over the years so that's not an issue if your concerns are about money if you choose to become mine."

Yang: "Yours?

Shallot: "And I'll be yours just like Blake."

Yang looked at Blake to understand what he is talking about.

Blake: "He means to say that all the knowledge that he has and all of his fighting experience can be used by you to make yourself stronger. He will also use all his knowledge to help you learn techniques that he has which will make you far stronger than you were previously."

Shallot: "It sounds like you're trying to sell me or something. We also need to consolidate our relationship."

Shallot looked Blake up and down while licking his lips. Blake started blushing and nodded her head slowly. She had fantasized about it while reading one of her favorite books she had found called Ninja Gaiden and the romance between the main character and the cat Faunus which oddly had a body type similar to Shallot.

Yang was looking at both of them.

Yang: "Are you really flirting with each while also trying to get me."

Shallot extended his hand to Yang.

Shallot: "Hi, my name is Shallot, and would you go on a date with me later. I would like you to be my Yang to my Yin."

Yang thought about it some more and decided that she could go on a date with him to see if they would match but she would also used this as an opportunity to see what he is really like since he never seems to take anything seriously.

Yang: "Ok, I'll go on a date with you since you seem to have a pear."

Shallot: "I'll make sure we have a blast."

Shallot, Blake, and Yang talked and Yang asked Shallot how did he get so strong before coming to Beacon since he didn't go to a hunters school and about his training methods. They eventually got tired and got in their beds while Shallot got in his Hammock to go to sleep.
