Tom was the first to arrive back at the dorm as Alan was lying on the bed, opening one eye he watched Tom storm into the room as he stared around trying to locate someone "Where is Ania-sensei?" he asked as Alan shrugged his shoulders "She hasn't come back since we first arrived", right after he had finished saying that the door flung open as Ania and Mitch both strolled in "Alright I have something to tell all of you so sit down and shut up" Ania roared at everyone.
"Umm I have something to ask as well but it can wait…" Tom mumbled taking a seat on the bed as Ania cleared her throat. "As you know the man we fought earlier was my father and I'll reveal some small details on my life with that man" "Wait isn't Mitch pissed about this all?" Alan mentioned as Mitch shrugged his shoulders "We sorted all that crap out".
"Alright to begin I was born to my father Kurnaz Zochwoski who is leader of the Red Fox crime syndicate that has been a thorn in veils side for many years now". "He wasn't the kindest of fathers as he always believed that strength was the key and wanted nothing more than a son to take over the family business so when I a female was born he decided to raise me as a son to become strong enough to inherit the family business. Now of course I wasn't strong enough at least in terms of his eyes so he experimented on me as he found there was a way to infuse dust into a persons body and used mine as the first experiment".
Everyone in the room was silent upon hearing this as Ania took another breath and continued "So after the surgery he threw me into the wilderness to face off against a horde of Grimm creatures even though I was only 5 years old. I managed to survive and come back alive but after that I realized he was a nut case and not worthy of being a father so I ran away." After she had finished talking everyone was quiet for a moment before Mitch stood up "Right I had no idea he was such a harsh bastard of a father" "He isn't worthy of being called a father at all" Tom chimed in as Alan placed a hand on Ania's shoulder "Look that's all in the past, you aren't part of the Red Fox clan you're a student at Beacon Academy and we oppose people like your father so you'll have your chance to prove your strength to him one day".
"Yeah I'll gladly help you get back at your old man" Mitch chimed in as Ania smiled happy that something she wanted to get off her chest for many years had finally been revealed. "Alright I have an announcement to make as well" Tom randomly burst in as everyone turned to face him "Ermm well I have a question, I want to know what love is and I want someone to show me". Everyone in the room was quiet and unable to speak as Tom stared at everyone "Ummm Ania-sensei do you know what love is" "Nope never experienced it" "Alan-sensei?" "Me neither".
"I guess I'll explain what love is like then" Mitch commented as everyone turned to listen to his wise words of advice. "Look love is when you're with a person and you feel calm and at ease hanging around them like you can be yourself no matter what with them. Also it's a feeling where when you're around them you get giddy and excited there's this pumping feeling in your chest like you want to be around them no matter what as they make you feel happy and safe".
Finally done with his explanation everyone in the room just stared at him "What? I've been in love before sheesh" he grumbled as Tom nodded his head as he realized he had been experiencing these phenomenon's around Sky before. "I must observe these findings over our break and report back with them to establish if I truly 'love' Sky" he thought to himself.
"Alright enough of the touchy feely subjects I have another thing to bring up, as of today we're on mid semester break so I want everyone to come up with idea's that we can do during the break as a team" "Why do I have a feeling that this will result in something bad" Mitch grumbled as Tom raised his hand high in the air "I PROPOSE WE HAVE ANOTHER DRINKING SESSION" he roared as Mitch sighed "I told you this won't end well…"
