Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Port's great lecture II
"Man I'm so falling asleep in Professor Port's class" Mitch yawned loudly as Ania sighed "Perhaps if someone had done his homework earlier like we did they wouldn't have spent the entire night staying up doing it". "Here get some of this into you" Alan said holding up a strange looking can that had various colours strewn everywhere.
Cracking it open Mitch took a sip as instantly a sweet bubbly sensation went down his throat while the all to familiar feeling of caffeine flowing into his body could be felt as well. "WOAH THIS IS AWESOME" he yelled taking another sip "Apparently it's an energy drink of some sort I found they were in the cafeteria so I grabbed a bundle". "Yeah, yeah just give me more" Mitch grabbed two more as he finished drinking his first can and crushed it in his hand "I may have done something terrible here…" Alan mentioned to Ania.
The group already found Tom sitting in their usual spot eagerly watching the Professor set up as Mitch slid into his seat and took another sip from his can. "Man what are you doing here early?" he asked kicking his feet up "I just couldn't wait to hear another enthralling tale from Professor Port so I arrived extra early to not miss a second" "Has anyone ever told you that you're a major nerd…" Mitch grumbled as Tom seemed confused to what this term 'nerd' meant.
"It means you're really smart and have no real social life" Ania clarified for him "Oh then yes I am a nerd!" Tom proudly said as Mitch sighed "I wouldn't exactly yell that out triumphantly" "But aren't you a nerd as well?" "Me I wouldn't say so while I may get the work done I don't do it early like you bunch so count me out from you guys".
As the last few members of the class filed in which included Ruby and her group who for once actually weren't late like their first class the Professor coughed into his hand to clear his throat "Ho and welcome back students to another enthralling class of mine, I hope you've all completed the homework which will be handed in at the end of the lesson now let's begin today's topic" and with that he started on one of his ever famous lectures.
"Awww man seriously another lecture" Mitch sighed as he tuned back in "Why I was staring down the face of a particularly fearsome Grimm and I thought to myself Peter what should do in this situation….." "Doesn't he ever get tired of talking" groaning Mitch leaned back in his chair while Tom and everyone else were busy writing notes down.
"…..Covering myself in mud to blend in I carefully hid away waiting for my chance to strike!..." glancing across he saw his fellow team mates turn a page to write down more notes as he looked down at his textbook to find all he had done was draw pictures of wolves and fire with big bold letters saying I'M BORED!
"…..the villagers mistook me for a mud monster and chased me away hurling rocks and yelling insults…." "I hope when I become a hunter my adventures are as great as the Professor's" Tom said in admiration as Mitch began daydreaming imagining Tom with a thick bushy moustache like the Professor crawling through mud muttering to himself "Why Tom you smart old dog this is the best idea you've come up with".
"What the hell have you drawn?" Ania hissed across as Mitch glanced down to see he had drawn the image inside his head with a mud covered Tom leaping up pointing a finger into the air yelling "HUZZAH" "Pay attention baka!" she hissed again whacking his hand. "…..despite smelling of mud and covered in grass I had felled the foul creature and returned back home triumphant even if the villagers didn't acknowledge my success"
Finally done with his lecture he brought up a giant picture of a Beowulf and pointed to the screen "So who can tell me what Grimm this is?" Straight away the usual raised their hands to answer so Weiss and Tom as "Ah Weiss let's hear if you can tell me" "Aww I missed out…" Tom grumbled. "That would be a Beowulf a lycanthrope type of Grimm that is renowned for it's superior speed and agility" "Excellent, excellent I couldn't have given a better answer myself that is indeed the qualities of the Beowulf but of course to a professional trained huntsmen it's bark will be worse than it's bite HA!"
The entire class was silent except for Tom who was also chuckling "I get it because it's a metaphor to how it's offense would be terrible and easily defeated" "….we got the joke genius" Mitch grumbled. "Now these are but only one of many Grimm and I'm sure your time in the forest you faced off against many different type but each one isn't the same as the other they all have various abilities".
"So for your homework this time I want you to give me a detailed analysis of the Grimm Ursa" as the bell rang for the end of class everyone leapt up to hand in their homework as Mitch passed by Yang and Ruby "So how'd you find the homework?" the blonde asked as Mitch shrugged his shoulders "Pretty easy once I actually bothered to start it" "Well we spent the entire night finishing it" Ruby yawned "Genius boy over here did the same" Ania mentioned tossing her paper onto the pile "Hey not my fault I'm not goody students like you three and finishing it all a day before".
"Man you're pretty knowledgeable on Grimm" Tom said walking alongside Weiss out of the classroom as she flicked her White hair back "Of course I would be" she scoffed "Were you going to answer what I told the Professor?" "I would've also mentioned that they are particularly bold and as opposed to regular wolves aren't afraid to attack by themselves instead of as a pack" "…huh you also knew that" Weiss said stopping suddenly as Tom smiled "But of course I'm sure you just decided to leave that detail out" "….yeah I decided to leave that part out" "Well I'll see you in the next class" as he walked off Sky sidled up next to him.
"So you got a thing for Weiss?" she blurted out straight away "I don't exactly know what having a thing means?" "You like her?" "Ohhhh no" he bluntly said as Sky breathed a sigh of relief that Tom being himself was oblivious to as they continued walking along. "How'd you find the homework?" Tom asked as Sky shrugged her shoulders "I found it fairly easy but considering it's the first lesson they wouldn't give us something to hard". "You know if ever you find the work difficult you could always come over to our dorm to you know…. Have like a study lesson?"
Sky seemed nervous which was the first time Tom had ever seen her like that as he looked confused "Well I don't think I'll ever struggle with the homework so that'd be rather rare" with that he walked ahead as Sky stopped walking and gently hit her head against the wall "You completely missed the point…." She mumbled to herself.
