RWBY - A Wolf's Tale Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Flynn the Teacher

"Class now that we have finished covering the basics of Semblance I feel it's time we show some of them off, now remember if you can not use your semblance or don't know it yet there is nothing to be ashamed about. These things come easy for some but can be difficult for others." Flynn explained as he walked in front of his desk brushing his bangs out of his eyes. "Now my first victim will be...hmm oh I know Li...Kyle come on up."

Kyle grumbled as he stared daggers at Flynn, walking towards the stairs and down to the front of the room, "Flynn you of all people should know I can't really show my semblance off just like that." He spoke softly but was stern about it.

"Please, you think I wouldn't have thought of that? Nora, please stand you will find a box of balls below you, if you can land a single hit on Kyle you will win this." Flynn said stepping aside and lifting a stuffed animal that looked like an Ursa onto his desk.

Nora stood up and pulled a large box filled with balls, she stared at Kyle with a smile on her face and fire in her eyes. "I'm gonna win me a big old stuffed Ursa." she declared her voice was low and sounded evil as she began to rapidly throw the balls straight at him.

With his semblance allowing him to see where the balls would end up dodging the various balls was simple enough, it was only a matter of stepping and bending in various directions to avoid the onslaught. Nora, on the other hand, was shouting. "Hold still!" she ordered.

Flynn stepped back, "Sorry Nora looks like you lose, the stuffed Ursa stays with me." he stated as he pushed the stuffed animal back behind his desk. Nora looked at the stuffed animal like her heart had broken, she reached down into the box and it too was empty. "But I will give you another chance with whatever you have left up there...and I will make it fair." he smiled looking back at his little brother.

"No!" He shouts at him. Flynn just waved his hand the black smoke suddenly appeared around Kyle's head and began to cause pain in his eyes forcing him to shut them. He began to rub his eyes hoping to clear them but he couldn't see what was happening anymore. Luckily she was out of balls, that was until he hear her speak again.

"Ren! Use tackle!" Nora shouted as she grabbed Ren from his seat.

"Nora!" he shouted as she throws him down the room, even with his eyes now open all he could see was a blur in front of him. Ren collided with Kyle as the pair of them were now on the ground, Ren on top of Kyle as they both let out a groan.

The class erupted into laughter as the two of them sat up, Flynn helped both to their feet. "Now what did we learn here?"

Ren mumbled first, "Nora is stronger than most people."

"That you are a cheater," Kyle added.

"Well yes, but more about Kyle's semblance?" Flynn chuckled a little.

Pyrrha lifted her hand up, "His semblance is directly related to his field of vision, you were showing us that semblances have their own weaknesses."

"Correct, for those of you that don't know Kyle's semblance is quite simple, he can see where things would end up before they happen, and this allows him to dodge most attacks that he can see. So let's say I would strike at him, from the tiny movements my body naturally makes when I attack he is able to react and either counter or get out of the way. But even with a semblance like that, it has its own weakness, you cut off his vision there isn't much he can do about it. This also goes for if he was attacked from behind or ambushed." Flynn explained. "Now return to your seats, next up for victims is Weiss."

She didn't say a word as she walked down and just stared at him. Flynn was all smiles as he turned to the class, "Now I'm sure you are wondering why I have Weiss here, well because she is a good example of a hereditary semblance if you will Weiss." Weiss shockingly didn't try to fight him or call him anything rude she just did what she was told and created one of her glyphs. "The Schnee I have gotten to know have all had this same semblance with minor differences between them, thank you, Weiss. Now before you all leave I want you to focus on channeling your own semblance don't get flustered if you can't do it, like I said before it takes time. Now get going I'm sure you all have better things to do than bum in my classroom." He smiled as he looked to Jaune, "Mr. Arc could you spree sometime?" He held up the stuff Ursa as Nora passed by smiling a bit.

The class cleared out as Jaune stood before Flynn, "Please take a seat." he said motioning to the chair, and quietly he sat down. Normally Jaune would have at least tried in class, sure he wasn't the best student but even he would take part in the lessons. "Is everything alright Jaune?"

"Alright? Of course, everything is great." Jaune stated as he waved his hands dismissively.

"Really? You seem a lot quieter and I have also noticed you have been hanging around Cardin and his team over your own." Flynn reply leaning back as he kicked his feet on top of the desk.

"Yeah...Cardin, we've...become friends." the kid lied, Flynn, nodded knowing it would be best not to push him on the subject, "If there is nothing else Flynn I should get going."

"No there is one more thing I have to say to you, thank you."

"Thank...me?" he asked dumbfounded.

"Yeah, thanks for being there for my little brother. As a leader, you understand the struggle it takes to keep everyone willing and able, you're a source of strength whether you know it or not, and to Kyle, I know you're a great source of strength. One thing people miss for people like us is we don't normally have a team to watch our backs. To have someone there for us...to make sure we can keep on fighting for what we believe in. But I know that you and Ruby have been making him feel like he isn't alone despite the fact he isn't really a member of either of your teams. Even thou he is working with you. I ask you to keep lending your strength to him and thanks for being a good friend to him, now get going." Flynn laughed with a smile.

Jaune for the first time in days looked on with a smile as he got up, "That goes double for you Ruby." The older Coinin chuckled looking at the door as she poked her head around the corner before dashing off.

Even with a few people busy, what remained of Teams RWBY and JNPR sat down at their normal tables. Kyle was next to Yang and across from him was Weiss. He couldn't help but notice she was staring daggers at him the whole time after they left his brother's class. "Is...everything okay Weiss?"

"No, it's not, your brother doesn't know anything about my family." Weiss barked Kyle threw his hands up in defeat.

Yang elbowed him, "Don't worry about it Kyle, Weiss just didn't get her beauty sleep last night so she's a little grumpy, besides you know what Weiss does when she can't sleep?"

"Don't you dare you dunce," Weiss growled.

"I have no idea," He answered.

Yang just had a smirk on her face, "She counts Schneep."

Weiss' face was red now as she hides it behind her arms, "That pun is awful Yang!"

Kyle chuckled, "That was horrible Yang."

Ruby finally arrived and popped in next to Weiss, "YANG!" she cheered.

"RUBY!" Yang answered just as cheerfully

"WEISS!" Ruby said next as she focused on the Schnee.

"....." Weiss just mumbled.

"Is she okay?" Ruby asked.

"Yang was just being punny about Weiss," Kyle answered.

"Don't worry Weiss, Yang just loves her terrible jokes."

"Hey!" Yang smiled.

"Um, Kyle could I talk to you for a second, outside?" Ruby asked.

"Sure," He answers as he gets up and began to walk towards the door looking back he noticed Ruby getting flustered by something Yang was doing but she rushed up to him as they walked out.

The pair took a seat in front of the fountain, "So what did you want to say to me?

"I wanted to say I will be here for you, I know it can be hard being a solo hunter but Professor Ozpin has you working with my team and Jaune's. I want to be able to show you the same support I know you will show us." Ruby smiled softly with her silver eyes staring at him.

Kyle laughs out loud, "You've been talking to my brother haven't you." Ruby blushed and punched my arm playfully but he could tell she did mean what she said so Kyle place a hand on her shoulder, "Thanks Ruby I'm glad I can have a friend like you."

"Enough Cardin!" The pair both looked at each other hearing what sounded like Pyrrha shouting at Cardin. The two of them got up and walked over to the edge of the building, peeking around the corner they saw Cardin as well as his team on the ground, "I do not know what you are doing to Jaune but I want it to stop, he has been avoiding us and I know it is because of something you are doing to him. I would be fine if you were friends with him but I have seen what you have been doing to him since the first day!" She declared as she turned and walked back inside.

Ruby grabbed Kyle's hand and rushed away with her speed semblance, "What was all that about?" she asked looking at him.

"I honestly have no idea, but now that I think about it Jaune has been with Cardin and his team recently," He answered sitting down on the grass before they could talk about it Glynda walked up to them.

"Mister Coinin please follow me we have something for you," she spoke with a stern tone.

He got up and gave a shrug to Ruby as Professor Goodwitch lead him away, it was quiet until she opened the door to her office, "Kyle?" Weiss asked.

"Weiss, what is going on?" He ask looking at Flynn who was sitting on Glynda's desk.

"We have received more than a few complaints about the various arguments that you two have been having and all the times your little feud has disrupted your classes."

Weiss and Kyle stare at each other, both of them open their mouths more than likely about to say how it was the other person's fault, "We don't want to hear it from either of you, this kind of division cannot be happening. So that is why we are going to fix this...or you will both be expelled from Beacon." Flynn threatened.

They looked shocked as the two of them go from looking at each other to Glynda. "If the two of you work together on this mission we will see this as forward progress on you two coming closer together," Glynda explained.
