Ch 19: History Class.
================
"Jarvis where to next?" Weiss asks
Everyone looks at her.
"What? I wanted to try it it seems cool." Weiss said
"She has a point." Ruby says
"True..." Kyra says
"Team Rubies has History with Professor Oobleck." The cherry British voice says.
=====================
"Hello class today we will be talking about the Faunus Rights Revolution." Oobleck
Kyra raises her hand.
"Yes?" Oobleck says
"Isn't that still going on?" Kyra asks
"Yes! However the war ended a few decades ago we still see the aftermath from it today." Oobleck says
"Prior to the Faunus rights revolution, more popularly known as the Faunus War, humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie." Oobleck says pointing at the map.
He suddenly zooms around the room and drinks more of his coffee.
'How is his heart still beating?' Kyra wonders
"Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that thes are relatively recent events! That is why the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day!" Oobleck says zooming around.
"Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?" Oobleck asks
Kyra doesn't raise her hand however every other Faunus student does well besides Blake who is hiding her heritage.
"Sapphire? You haven't been discriminated against mind sharing how?" Oobleck says
"Well I was not exactly honest, I hid my Faunus heritage, the only people who knew about it till I came to beacon was the human family that adopted me. But my company became big and fast I became too powerful, even government officials are afraid to touch me because of Stark industries and it's hold over Vale's economy. I do have assassins come after every now and then though. The number acts against my company has only grown since I revealed I was a Faunus." Kyra says
"Horrible truly horrible." Oobleck says drinking his coffee while all the other Faunus students look at Kyra with reverence.
"Remember students it is ignorance that breeds violence it's very likely the White Fang would not be what they are today if we treated the Faunus as people rather than animals." Oobleck says
"Now what was the turning point in the third year of the war." Oobleck asks
Weiss raises her hand.
"The battle at Fort Castle." Weiss answers
"Precisely. And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?" Oobleck asks
Kyra raises her hand.
"Yes."
"Well Faunus in general have better senses and instincts and some even superior physical strength. Like a Rabbit Faunus will have good hearing and leg strength. Or a cat Faunus having cat like reflexes, good hearing and, enhanced vision bordering perfect night vision. Or even monkey Faunus with their inherit advantage at martial arts and learning gymnastics combined with our reaction speed and instincts." Kyra says
"That is a really detailed answer. Well done!" Oobleck says
"So, class he ambushed an army at night where 1/3 of the troops had near perfect night vision and most of the army was able to hear them coming." Oobleck says drinking more coffee.
=============
"So Ruby something came up with the weapons modifications class... how about we go star gazing tonight?" Kyra asks Ruby.
"Awe... but okay. Why couldn't you come to the class with me?" Ruby asks
"Miss Stark you have 1 hour to prepare your lecture material for Weapons modifications class." Jarvis says
"I was planning on winging it." Kyra says
"Wait... you're teaching?" Ruby asks excitedly.
"Yep!" Kyra says
====================
Walking into the weapons modification lab.
"Hello." Kyra says walking right up to the desk that is used by the instructor.
"I'm a little new at this the original professor met and accident while protecting a village." Kyra says
"Since this is an elective and optional I am happy to see so many people turn out." Kyra says
"I have one question and depending on how you answer you may or may not receive my help with your weapons." Kyra says handing out a quiz.
"Velvet, I hope you answers correctly cause that's an impressive piece of equipment. Maybe we can work on efficiency and making it longer lasting." Kyra says
What's the question you may ask.
What are weapons designed and built for? That is the question, will you answer truthfully it may even be a heroic truth or the dark truth.? Lie? Or do you not know the answer yourself?
Most modern guns on earth were designed during times of war. To kill the enemy quickly and efficiently. However it still takes a human to pull that metaphorical trigger.
