Rock looked around at his mostly empty room with a single bed and a table along with a small dresser with a mirror and a step stool

He looked over his armor and skin suit which had Ben set up on the table for cleaning

It wasn't dirty he just liked the idea of his stuff being clean

He had woken up a few minutes ago and had gotten dressed for class which was grimm studys, the class started at nine so he had time to kill since it was eight fifteen

Rock walked over to the mirror and looked at himself

It wasn't his best work but he didn't care and since he didn't have any other shoes he just kept his large blue boots on

It wasn't his best work but he didn't care and since he didn't have any other shoes he just kept his large blue boots on

He was sure having the boots wasn't breaking any rules so he had decided to wear them, they stood out from his black uniform that was about all he could say about them

It was still pretty early but rock had decided it was a good time to head to class since he didn't have to do anything at the moment

Rock made his way towards the classroom and waited for the teacher to start his lesson

It was about eight fifty nine when team rwby and jnpr burst through the classroom door with ruby yelling out "we made it!" before they all made their way towards the seats

Suddenly a large man with a red jacket introduced himself as "professor port" before starting his lesson

"Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!" port laughed at what appeared to be a joke

"Uhhhh... 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 teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses..."
Port winked at yang "Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves! From what, you ask? Why, the very world!"

"Ayyyy-yep!" a student in the background yells standing for a moment as everyone looks at him strangely before sitting down, embarrassed

" "That is what you are training to become. But first: A story. A tale of a young, handsome man... Me! When I was a boy..."

The professor's words faded as rock looked around the classroom reading the small papers filled with information about the grimm

"In the end, the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high, celebrated as a hero!" port takes a bow "The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable! A true Huntsman must be dependable! A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise! So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?" port asked the class

Rock was about to raise his hand but was beaten by weiss saying "I do sir!" as she held up her hand

"Well, then, let's find out!" port turns to gesture at the glowing red eyes surrounded by shadow shaking the cage that traps it "Step forward, and face your opponent!"
