Professor Qrow

Great! Ruby says. She leads the charge to run to the training room which ended up being Qrow's class. All five girls end up right at once. Andy hangs back wisely and steps around the group stopping only to help Ruby to her feet. Great you've made it. Andy turns around her hands on her cane and her eyes widen. It's alright he says I figured something like this would happen. Just listen and focus he says. As the other girls go to get their weapons. He hears Cinna saying something about how some people actually follow the rules instead of acting like a member of the white fang. Andy's hands grip her cane and he notices she is checking her dust levels but she doesn't show any other sign of frustration. Will those who did not just walk in to to the other side of the room to stretch? The students nod in understanding as the other new comers return form the weapons bay. You know my rule he says unresolved conflict gets solved before you step into this room. He says looking at Cinna. This is no place to take out your petty frustrations he says slowly. If I allowed that to happen. Well you all are budding teenagers he says. You can be worse than a pack of beo wulfs facing off against a pack of ursa. Andy let's out a chuckle. Was that funny? Yes sir it was. Good I'm glad you got the joke. Cinna scoffs. Humm he says. Ani and Ana you may go he says. They both nod and leave. Cinna goes to leave and he says Miss Goldwen I did not say you could leave. He says. She turns around to him and crosses his arms and he mimics her. Is there an issue here? Yes! She says. Enlighten me. He says. She waltzes in to this school halfway through the term carrying her weapon around and Ruby and yang act like her little slaves all because she is tricking them with that fake arm of hers. Qrow's eyes widen a bit. Well he says now that I know your side he says Andy do you have anything to counter that? Ruby and Yang helped me carry my things in. I..still have to rebuild muscle in what's left of my non dominant arm no less and as far as carrying my cane I had only intended on using it for balance ...it was she who forced me to go into the defensive. It was amazing! Ruby says I had never seen her semblance before and - Ruby looks down. Sorry Uncle Qrow. It's alright Ruby. Why don't you and yang go along with the others this seems to be between them. Sure. Yang says. But if it wasn't for Andy we could've gotten hurt. Qrow's eyes widen. You endangered other students?! He asks Cinna. It was her weapon! She says. Andy? Qrow says. Andy sighs. When I would not leave my weapon on the form of all places she tried to take it from me I had it in...my metal hand and - STOP FAKING Cinna says. She comes over and tries to pry her metal arm off of her Andy simply pushes her away. As I was saying Andy says gripping her cane. She grabbed my cane pushed the fire dust button pointing it up In the air which would've set the ceiling on fire but I sent up a force field in time containing the blast. Andy says. And that is what happened. Can't you see that she's a- miss Goldwen go to the headmasters office now he says. As he sends a lengthy message to said headmaster. You put other students in danger he says slowly also leave your weapon here he says. She huffs and tosses her weapon to the floor before stomping out of the room. Qrow sighs and says you ok kid? Andy smiles. I just want to learn Cinna was just another obstacle keeping me from learning. Right kid you know I will speak to the headmaster to moving you to Ruby's Team he says. He puts a hand on her shoulder. Come on kid you've got this. Andy nods and walks with him to the training area. Yang has already grouped off with other students who have similar weapons to her and Andy and a few other students have sword and or scythe like weapons. There's only five of them. Qrow smirks at his group and says class today I am proud to say we have a new member of our little group he says. This is Andy he says you may recognize her from when she made her weapon with the rest of you ...and yes she has changed. But I assure you she is as strong as ever so please give her some respect and kindness he says. She's been through a lot. Thanks Andy says. Now would you like to show the class the full range of your weapon? Qrow asks. Ohhh! Ruby says. Andy smiles at the others who looked at her with curiosity. As you all know my weapon has a secret. She pushes a button and it extends downward and then upward to create a full sized scythe. The class and Qrow give her a wife burth as she swigs it around easily and presses a second button which causes the blade to
mechanically transform and then to everyone's surprise she separates them into two broad blades. These can be wide or smaller she says. Then she puts them back together and sets her cane down the pointed end on the floor. I can also shoot various types of dust from my weapon. But I won't demonstrate that. What else is there? Qrow asks. Ohh! Ruby says. Qrow raises an eyebrow and then Andy sighs. My semblance is connected to my weapon she finally says. Ohh! Qrow says. That is interesting he says. Andy checks her aura levels before she says I'm not really sure if there's a name to it really I went to many schools and none had an answer. She presses her staff down and opens her eyes and in the palm of her left hand is a flickering flame. Woa...even Qrow's eyes widen at this. She flicks it out. I know what you all must be thinking it's powered by the dust! Nope. Andy takes the dust compartment from her weapon and holds it out to Qrow who gingerly takes it. She does the same motion with her staff and conjures this time a ball of air. What good will air be in a fight? Andy says not even winded. Grimm can suffocate too Andy says. Sniffing out the bit of air she takes the cartage back and bows. Right Qrow says. Everyone begin the basic forms he says. Everyone scrambles to get enough room to practice and Andy struggles to remember what that means. Don't worry Andy Qrow says. We're going to work one on one. He says. Andy turns from somehow studying the entirety of the class to her teacher. She nods once and then she follows him to another part of the room. Andy grips her weapon and he says ok kiddo. He turns on a Grimm simulation ...show me what you're made of. He says.


Everything else fades away and Andy is in the forest "scouting" keeping an eye out for Grimm. She smirks to herself. Thick headed jerk never saw through that- kid? Andy looks and sees a pack of Grimm coming towards her. Don't take them out all at once Qrow says. I'm looking at your blade work not your overall fighting skills. Andy shakes her head and she lets out her broad sword and separates them. She steps forward and slices the head off of the first beo wulf and she continues to weave in and out of the phantom wulfs the simulation goes off and then the bell rings just as Andy was about to slice the alpha in half. She clicks the button withdrawing her blade and she follows through with her cane. Whoa kid. Take it easy. Qrow says. He puts a hand on her shoulder. Good follow through kiddo he says. Keep your weapon discharged for the next few classes. He says. You should be fine he says. Andy nods and she looks around and Ruby runs over to her. ANDY! Ruby! Sorry Uncle Qrow! Just...take her to class.
