"Phew well that was something" Mitch said wiping a trickle of sweat that had formed on his forehead before opening up his flask for a drink as Professor Glynda leapt out of nowhere landing directly in the middle as he quickly stashed the silver flask away. "I noticed that a large swarm of Grimm had been alerted to your position and came as quickly as I could to help" she glanced around the forest to see the scattered corpses of the insects "….but it seems you didn't need my help after all".
"MITCH!" Yang's voice came from the distance as he saw the remainder of the students all frantically running over as Sky bolted past everyone and leapt forward grabbing Tom by the shoulders "Are you alright did those things hurt you" her voice rattled the questions off like a machine gun as frantically shook his body. "Umm slow down I can't understand you" he said as she suddenly realised everyone was staring at her and went bright red before taking a deep breath and calming down.
"Ahem I mean it's good to see that you aren't hurt at all" "Right well that was a complete 180 on her personality" Mitch said as Yang nudged him in the ribs "So how many of these things did you manage to take out by yourself" "I don't know I lost count around 14 or so" "I'm impressed you guys managed to hold them all off by yourself" "Hey we aren't that weak and pathetic" "Clearly".
"Oh my beautacious beauty are you hurt in any way or form" Adrian fluttered over towards Ania leaning against the tree as she sighed "No but if you keep talking to me you will be in a second" growling she lumbered over towards Mitch and Yang positioning herself between the two of them "Keep me away from that philanderer" "Ha I think it's cute he has a crush on you" "Keep talking and I'll crush you in a minute".
"I wonder why the Grimm decided to attack your group" Weiss spoke to Alan as he glared over at Team PWND standing off in the background glaring at him while they were covered in burn marks. "I have a pretty good idea who did but there's no real proof" he whispered to himself before smiling like his usual cheery self "Who knows but the main thing is we got out unharmed and managed to keep all the jars of jelly in tact".
"Right get all of these back to the train we're heading back" Professor Glynda called to everyone as Ania thrust her pile into Mitch's hand "Wait why am I carrying all these crates" "Think of it as physical exercise" as she ran off he grumbled to himself "Son of a bitch".
Sky walked alongside Tom as they headed back towards the train as he noticed she was constantly staring at him and yet every time he glanced across to her she would look away like it didn't happen. "Did Team PWND do this to you" she finally said as Tom nodded his head staring at Patrick who was glaring back at Mitch while his fists were clenched tightly together "They seriously under estimated our strength" "Those bastards and you can't prove it was them so they'll get away with it all" "I wouldn't say they got away completely unharmed" he chuckled recalling Ania kicking the flaming hive into them.
"I thought you said they wouldn't be able to defeat all of those insects" Nigel whispered to Patrick who grit his teeth together "They're far more stronger than I thought…" "No matter I'm sure when one of us faces them in a combat class we'll give them the beating down they deserve" Wesley said slamming his fist into his palm while Dano stared back at Alan hatred radiating from the both of them before Weiss ducked in front blocking the view as he stared back "If I ever fight Alan in a combat match I'll make sure he won't be fit to be a huntsmen anymore".
On the train ride back everyone was eagerly chatting between each other about how fun this little errand was while Mitch sat quietly by himself taking a nap and enjoying the peace and quiet as he heard a body sit down next to him. Opening one eye he saw Ania staring out the window as he sat up "So what's on your mind then" "Nothing I'd really want to talk about" "Fair enough that's fine by me" laying back he shut his eyes as Ania continued to watch the scenery flash past.
A memory buried deep away came flaring to life as she recalled being lost in a deep dank forest by herself when she was 6 in the freezing bitter winds while pairs of red eyes glared at her while she cowered behind a rock. "Daddy why are we here" she looked up at the tall muscular man his face hidden in the shadows. "Because if you want to grow up to be strong you have to learn to fend for yourself" as he turned to walk away Ania went to latch onto his leg only for him to spin around and lash out a violent kick that knocked her back into the snow.
"I'm scared Daddy" "Psh no daughter of mine should be scared now when I come back to collect you in the morning I expect you to be alive and have all traces of fear eliminated".
"Hey Ania everyone leaving, ummmm earth to Ania?" Mitch called out to her as he placed a hand on her shoulder only for her to spin around and glare at him while the temperature in the carriage rapidly dropped and her eyes glowed a bright blue colour. "LEAVE ME ALONE" she roared as ice erupted all around her and slowly crept up Mitch's arm as he leapt back opening his lighter and manipulating the flames to all of the ice melted away before Ania snapped back to reality.
"Alright what the fuck was that?" was all he said as she glanced down at her hands which were trembling while the room began to shake and sway as she collapsed onto the ground exhausted. "Honestly the things I have to do" Mitch grumbled picking her up and slinging the unmoving body over his shoulder as he exited the train and started walking back towards the dorm hoping no one would appear and force him to try and explain the situation at hand.
