Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: Lightning Lectures

"I don't think I can handle trying to keep up with one of Oobleck's lightning fast lectures" Mitch grumbled rubbing his eyes as the homework paper was clutched tightly in his hands finally completely only a few hours ago as he decided to forgo sleep since 1 hour was rather pointless. "I personally am looking forward to it I wonder what he'll be talking about this time around" Tom eager to get to class started walking further ahead as Mitch groaned "Teachers pet!"

As they arrived Tom was found standing outside the classroom tapping his foot impatiently "Ha looks like you had to wait anyway". "Ah Tom good to see you nice and early" Oobleck's voice could be heard as a blur darted in front of everyone and he stood there holding his favourite cup of coffee and taking a sip from it "I hope everyone has completely their homework, RIGHT let's get inside then".

Opening the door he darted straight down to his desk slamming his folder down and taking another sip of coffee before darting to the other side of the room while he watched the students slowly lumber in and take their seats. "Hey how come you guys always sit over there?" Yang asked Mitch before he ran off to the corner of the room to try and sleep "Well because it's the furthest away from people and the teacher" "Jeez try sitting with us for a change" with that she grabbed his arm and forcibly dragged him then pushed him down next to Blake.

Ania, Alan and Tom saw this and shrugged their shoulders sitting in front of Weiss and Ruby while Mitch was busy mumbling to himself about sitting near humans and how annoying it was. "Awww cheer up Mr anti social and get to know a few more people like Blake here" "Hey I'm Mitch" "Blake" "Alright that's great I've done my homework for the day of meeting a new person".

"NOW last lesson we were talking about the Faunus Wars and of course we shall be continuing it today going into more specific details" Professor Oobleck darted across to the other side of the room and took a sip from his coffee "NOW the Faunus War lasted 3 long years and during that bloody conflict both sides suffered heavy casualties".

"OF COURSE the problem with war is that despite who the victor is there is always heavy losses on both sides, NOW who can tell me through this conflict who the ultimate victor was". The usual suspects eager to answer questions being Tom and Weiss both threw their hands up eagerly as Professor Oobleck thought to himself for a moment "I'm eager to hear your answer Mr Sei Lei".

"Well considering the original point of the Faunus War was for humans to attempt to confine the Faunus to Menagerie" "Mhm, mhm" Oobleck muttered standing directly in front of Tom leaning more and more forward the more Tom spoke. "Now if we look to today we see that Faunus although discriminated slightly today they are still living amongst human population so it could be debated that the human's didn't fulfil what they desired".

"EXCELLENT, excellent, excellent a brilliant analysis of the situation at hand well done Mr Sei Lei well done indeed" sip from his coffee and then he appeared at the head of the class "NOW with your homework I shall mark them and hand you back the results next lesson but I think you can have a break from work BUT I do want you to continue doing the readings NOW"

For the rest of the class Oobleck mentioned various conflicts that happened during the Faunus War and how the results swayed the tides of the war while Tom eagerly sat at the edge of his seat eating up everything Oobleck was firing off as his hand raced across the paper almost as fast as Oobleck was speaking and moving. "Ughhh he's giving me a headache again with all that moving" Mitch groaned slamming his head on the table as Blake giggled "If you simply listen to his words and try not to follow his movements then it's much easier" "Even then he speaks a bit to fast for my hearing" "Really I find it rather easy". As Blake turned to look back Mitch stared at her for a few moments noticing something all to familiar on her that reminded him of someone from his past long ago as a memory came flooding back only for him to shake the thought aside "Focus on class… can't believe I said that".

As the bell rang Oobleck raced out of the classroom before any of his students had even stood up as Ania sat there staring at the front of the classroom for a few extra moments "I honestly don't think I'll ever get used to him moving like that" she said as Alan patted her shoulder "To be fair I don't think many of us will as well".

"Now the thing I love about our physical education class is that there is rarely any homework" Mitch stretched his arms out as he stood up content with the fact he could do nothing for the rest of the day. "I'd say catch up on the other homework we've been given but I don't think you'll do that" Alan suggested "Then you would be correct".

Walking out of the classroom Tom spotted Sky and her team about to head off and grab some food as he turned to face everyone "Say we should go get some food and get to know Sky's team more" "Is this one of your things you have to do as her future boyfriend?" Mitch raised an eyebrow looking towards Ania "I guess if this is part of your lessons I'll endure sitting near that man slut Adrian but if he comes near me I can't blame anyone if any fingers or body parts are broken".

"Hey Sky" Tom called across the dining room as he waved both hands, upon seeing him she went bright red which evoked a response from her team mates to which she glared at them before taking a deep breath to calm herself and looked back at Tom who was standing next to her now. "Oh so you've come to join us for some food" "Yeah I decided we should get to know everyone on your team" Tom took a seat next to Sky while Ania placed Mitch beside her so Adrian wouldn't get close.

"So my eternal rival we meet again" Adrian said glaring at Mitch "Yeah I guess we do" "Always playing the cold, dark and cool guy!". Adrian looked down to see Mitch was eating two hamburgers as he leapt up and raced away before arriving back with three hamburgers "HA I'LL EAT THREE WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT!" "Umm alright then?" "Bet I can eat it faster than you can as well" as Adrian attempted to devour the burger quickly Lena stared at Ania from across the table "I've kissed two guys today" "Well done?" "That's right guys like me more than you, you big breasted blonde bimbo" Lena yelled leaping up as she leaned across the table "Now I'll make it four!" She attempted to kiss Mitch who was more interested in his food as he held the burger up just as Lena leant in so she ended up kissing the burger instead.

"Didn't know you loved food that much?" he said as she leapt back and then turned to try and kiss Alan but saw he was to far away. "Don't even think about trying to kiss Tom!" Sky's voice flared up as she saw Lena staring at him "Hmph I've still kissed two more guys than you have" she said sitting back down and pouting as she glared at Ania. "HA 2 down and you haven't finished one yet!" Adrian yelled slamming his plate down and jumping up just before gagging slightly and holding his stomach "Umm I might be sick… YOU WIN THIS TIME RIVAL BUT NEXT TIME I SHALL BE VICTORIOUS" he roared racing off to the bathroom as Mitch stared at the burger he left behind "Well if he doesn't want it then I'll have it".
