Chapter 21: Chapter 21: The long night
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU GIVE HIM COFFEE" Mitch yelled as he sat back on his bed watching Tom darting across the room talking in a machine gun fashion exactly like Professor Oobleck would do during class. "This stuff is amazing, amazing, AMAZING I SAY. Just imagine all the work I could get done with this why in just one sitting I could have every piece of homework and required reading all up to date".
Racing back to his desk he sat down violently flipping through the pages as his team tried to figure out if he was actually reading that fast or just so hyper active he needed to keep his fingers and hands busy. "I didn't think it would have this bad of an effect on him" Alan mumbled as Ania rolled around on her bed "Look I normally don't get much sleep but I would enjoy SOME sleep" with that she grabbed her pillow and started storming out "Err where the hell are you going?" Mitch called out as she stopped at the door "I'm crashing at the RWBY's place maybe I'll get peace and quiet there for sleep".
"WE SHOULD GO VISIT OTHER DORMS AND TELL THEM THE WONDERS OF COFFEE, YEAH COFFEE, YEAH COFFEE" Tom started yelling chanting Yeah coffee as he walked around the room holding the mug up "Man I'd hate to see how he acts when drunk if he's this bad with coffee" Mitch said as Alan shut his book "Well it's time for me to hit the hay" "You can actually sleep with him rambling on?" "I'm a pretty heavy sleeper once I fall asleep it takes a lot to wake me up" "So I'm stuck watching him then?" "Well you don't sleep soooo basically yes" and the second Alan's head hit the pillow he was immediately snoring.
Pulling out his flask Mitch laid back on his bed taking a sip as he sighed "I'll need this if I'm to get through any of this" he grumbled as Tom was busy zipping around the room rambling nonsense to do with the Faunus war and something he assumed was to do with the required readings.
The door to RWBY's room opened up as Ruby poked her head out to see Ania standing there with a blanket and pillow "Oh Ania what's the problem?" "Tom ingested some coffee and has gone completely hyper can I crash here for the night to get some sleep" "Of course come on in" opening the door she saw Blake, Weiss and Yang all sitting on the edge of their bed talking as they glanced up confused. "She needs to crash here tonight apparently Tom and coffee don't mix well together" looking up Ania noticed their beds had been transformed into bunk beds as Yang spotted where her eyes were going and grinned "Pretty awesome isn't it?" "Oh yeah totally" "You guys should do it in your cabin" "Ehe I think our room is pretty good the way it is".
"Man how the hell can you sleep through this" Mitch glanced over to Alan who had been out cold for 2 hours now and during that entire time Tom hadn't calmed down at all. "Tonight is the perfect time for a midnight run" he said suddenly racing towards the door to find it was locked "Ha good thing I locked the door now he'll never get o…" just before he finished his sentence Tom had leapt out the window and was now racing off towards the oval.
Alright that's it I call it quits there" Mitch said as he finished the last of his flask off "Besides I'm out of this stuff so this is where I actually sleep" rolling onto his side he closed his eyes as the sound of Tom yelling something was filtered off into the distance "Now he's the problem of the academy security or whoever else finds him".
"Why does my bed taste like dirt" Tom grumbled as he groggily sat up and rubbed his eyes "Man what the heck happened last night I recall having all this abundance of energy and stamina but after leaping out the window my mind went blank". As he finally came to he glanced around realising he was on the oval and wearing only a pair of boxers as students were beginning to walk over for their physical education lesson. "Crap I'm going to be late for class!" "That's not the only thing I'd be worried about" Sky's voice came from behind as he looked to see her standing there grinning at the half naked Tom who was oblivious to that fact.
"Do I even want to know?" she asked "Well I had coffee and let's just say it gave me a little bit more energy than I thought" "Ah you had a caffeine crash then it happens all the time to me" "Ohhhh so that's why my memory went blank and I just crumpled" "While I'd love to continue this riveting conversation with you it's rather distracting having you stand there nearly stark naked" "Huh?" for the first time Tom realised he was actually nearly naked but still failed to really care "Ahh I should go back and change then" "I'd hurry to since class is about to begin in Ohhhh I would say 30 seconds".
Rubbing his eyes Mitch yawned as he causally strolled next to Ania and Alan who appeared to be well rested. "Well I'm glad you two got a good nights sleep but did you have to wake me up!" "Awww did you not get enough sleep last night" Ania said grinning as he rolled his eyes "And I suppose you girls sat around gossiping about girly things" "No we had a pillow fight in our underwear" she sarcastically said as Mitch stared off in the distance before Ania whacked him over the head "Stop imagining things perv!"
"Umm guys is that Tom" Alan said interrupting their bickering as the two of them looked up to see him trudging along in nothing but his boxers as Mitch fell over from laughter "Oh god this almost makes it worth staying up watching his hyper active ass" "Greetings and good morning" Tom said cheerily smiling as Ania could only stare "What's with the nude attire?" "Well I went for a midnight run and apparently past out from exhaustion after my coffee high ran out, anyway I should probably go and get changed otherwise I'll miss class".
As he raced off Alan turned back to face Mitch "I thought you said you would watch him?" "Yeah well when he jumped out the window I figured it was someone else's job I was only watching him while he was inside the room". Unscrewing his flask he took a sip "Besides there was no way in hell I was going after him when this baby was empty". His two team mates could only shake their head as they arrived at the giant oval where everyone had gathered in front of their physical education teacher.
It could easily be seen she was a physical education by her incredibly slim and athletic figure and yet despite that she had a substantial bust. She wore a green jersey with track pants and a white shirt underneath while her long blue hair was tied back in a ponytail. "Alright I'm your teacher Miss Aiho and I'll be teaching you everything to do with physical education besides learning we'll also have practical classes doing various physical activities and will help to monitor your fitness and other categories essential to being a hunter."
"Wohoo finally another class I can enjoy" Mitch grinned excited to finally get to the practical parts of his lessons as Ania rolled her eyes "Of course anything that is hands on you enjoy but when it comes to using brain power it's boring".
"Now to get things kicked off let's say everyone does 10 laps around the oval and no walking otherwise I'll make you do an extra one for each time you stop" Miss Aiho said clapping her hands as everyone started jogging off beginning the long trek around the oval. Alan spotted Tom off in the distance frantically tugging his PE uniform on as he leapt up through the air landing on the ground and quickly joined the group sidling up next to his team mate "Glad to see you weren't to late" "I haven't had to get dressed that quickly in a long time" "So we're doing 10 laps around the oval as a warm up" "Ohhhh physical endurance one of the core for being a great hunter".
"Man who the hell starts the first lesson off with 10 laps around the oval" Ania groaned as she jogged alongside Mitch who seemed to have a smile on his face. "YOU'RE ACTUALLY ENJOYING THIS" she yelled "Of course I told you anything that is physical is my sort of thing" as he went to increase his pace he felt Ania drag him back "Ohhhh no you don't, we're doing this together and if I can't complete it you'll be carrying my ass the rest of the way".
