3rd Pov

We open up to a uniformed, sleeping June Arc with her head resting in her hands while a constantly-zooming and fast-talking Doctor Bartholomew Oobleck is in the middle of his hyperactive lecture, educating Weiss, Blake, Pyrrha, Velvet, Zure, Y/n and a leaned-back DB/n directly behind June.

Oobleck: Yes! Yes, prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution--more popularly known as the Faunus War--*zooms up to the front of the class and the map covered in papers behind his desk* --humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie.*points at the map of said-area with his stick, then zooms off to the side for a sip of his coffee before appearing in front of the desk* Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day!*zooms around the classroom more, sipping his coffee again before continuing to zoom and talk* Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?

Some of the silhouetted students raise their hands. Zure also raised her hand. Velvet, after a moment, does the same.

Oobleck: Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!

Y/n: Ain't that the truth.

Oobleck:*takes another sip of his coffee* I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang! Now, which one of you young scholars can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year of the War?*sees a hand is raised* Yes?

Weiss: The battle at Fort Castle!

Y/n:*whispers to Weiss* Who named that place?

Weiss:*whispers to Y/n* General Lagune.

Oobleck: Precisely! And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?

Unseen by the doc, DB/n flicks a paper football at June's head, causing her to wake up.

June: Hey!

Oobleck:*zooming over into June's face* Ms. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?

June: Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... that the Faunus...*looks behind Oobleck's focused face at Pyrrha, who coughs and motions to her lips as she gives her the answer*...had over that guy's stuff...*she sees Y/n cup his hands around his eyes, mouths "Night-Vision" and goes for the most obvious answer* Uhh... Binoculars!

While June looks pleased with her answer, the class laughs at her and Oobleck(back at the front of the class) sips his coffee. Both Y/n & Pyrrha sighs and facepalmed as DB/n pounds his fist on his desk while chortling.

Oobleck:*zooming back behind his desk* Very funny, Ms. Arc! DB/n! Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!

DB/n: Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier.

Y/n: Should I ask Neo for that 1 free?

Pyrrha:*as Oobleck shakes his head* You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you, DB/n?

DB/n: What? You got a problem?

Pyrrha: No, I have the answer! It's night vision. Many Faunus are known to have nearly-perfect sight in the dark.

Y/n:*quietly* Ha! Dumbass.

DB/n growls at the correct response.

Blake: General Lagune was inexperienced, and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and the general was captured.

Zure:*turns to DB/n* Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure.

DB/n gets up from his seat, fist clenched.

Y/n:*stands up and points at DB/n* You best sit down or would you like a new hole in your other hand.

Oobleck: Mr. DBL/n! Please take your seat and thank you, Mr. L/n.*when June laughs at her tormentor's embarrassment, zooming up to her* You and Ms. Arc can both see me after class for additional readings.*takes yet another sip of his coffee*

June:*shoulders slumping* Oohhhh...

Y/n: Shit...

Oobleck:*zooming away* Now! Moving on!

When the lesson ends, Pyrrha, Nora, and Rin come out of the classroom, only for Pyrrha to stop near the doorway.

Pyrrha: You go on ahead. I'll wait for June.

They look back inside as the after-class talk occurs to the two.

Oobleck:*sips his coffee* You two have been struggling in my class since day one! Now, I don't know if it's a lack of interest, or just your stubborn nature, but whatever it is....*takes a long sip of his crack-I mean coffee* It stops now! You've worked hard to gain entrance to this school and we only accept the best of the best, so I expect you to act like it. History is important, lady and gentleman! If you can't learn from it... you're destined to repeat it. Pages fifty-one to ninety-one! I want an essay on my desk by next class! Now! Run along.

With that, he zooms out of the classroom and past a waiting Pyrrha in a green and white blur. June comes out first, and DB/n emerges behind her, pushing her to the ground an emitting an "Owie!" from her that makes the bully laugh before walking away.

Pyrrha:*pulling June back on her feet* You know, I really will break his legs. And arms.*June sighs, and Pyrrha looks like she is struck by inspiration* I have an idea! Here, come with me!*she grabs a confused June by the arm and drags her along as she turns down the corridor*

A dejected June and Pyrrha come onto a rooftop of one of the buildings, with a clear view of the glowing green orbs in the central tower of Beacon.

June: Pyrrha, I know I'm going through a hard time right now, but I'm not that depressed.*looks over the edge of the roof, to the confusion of Pyrrha* I can always be a housekeeper or something...

Pyrrha:*realization hitting her with horror* N-n-no! I didn't mean that! *dashes to push June away from the edge* That's not why I brought you up here!*the camera pans out to show the two on the roof as they talk with DB/n leaning in his windowsill right below them* June, I know you're having a difficult time in class and that you're still not the strongest of fighters, so... I want to help you! Including two other people.

June: Wh-what?

Pyrrha: We can train up here after class where no one can bother us!

June: You think I need help?

Pyrrha: N-no! No, that's not what I meant. Yes you do need help.

June: But you just said it.

Pyrrha: June, everybody needs a little push from time to time. It doesn't make you any different from the rest of us. You made it to Beacon! That speaks volumes of what you're capable of!

June:*turning away from her, lowering her head and voice* You're wrong. I-I don't belong here.

Pyrrha: That's a terrible thing to say! Of course you do!

June:*turning back around, now angry* No, I don't!*sighs as Pyrrha looks bewildered and she reveals the truth* I wasn't really accepted into Beacon...*turns her back to her so he doesn't have to face her*

Pyrrha: Wh-what do you mean?

June:*voice going higher and higher as she confesses* I mean I didn't go to any combat school, I didn't pass any tests. I didn't earn my spot at this Academy at all!*looks at her again* I lied! I got my hands on some fake transcripts, and I lied!

Pyrrha: What? But... why?

June: 'Cause this is always what I've wanted to be!*turns away again* My mother, my grandmother, and her mother before her were all warriors! They were all heroes! I wanted to be one, too. I was just.....never good enough.

Pyrrha:*approaching her, placing a hand on her shoulder* Then let me help you.

June:*suddenly turning on her with mad frustration* I don't want help, dammit! I don't want to be the damsel in distress! I want to be the hero!

Pyrrha: June, I-

June: I'm tired of being the lovable idiot, stuck in the tree while her friends fight for their lives! Don't you understand? If I can't do this on my own... then what good am I?

Pyrrha attempts to reach out for her arm and console her, but she leans back from her touch.

June: Just... leave me alone. Okay?

Pyrrha:*head bowed, sad* If that's what you think is best...

She walks away, her footsteps getting softer and softer until she leaves the roof. June paces a little until she hears a mocking laugh and DB/n appears on the roof from his window.

DB/n: Oh, June...

June:*looking behind her at her bully* DB/n!

DB/n: I couldn't help but overhear you two from my dorm room. So, you snuck into Beacon, huh? I gotta say, June, I never expected you to be such a rebel girl!

June:*taking on a begging tone* Please, DB/n, please, don't tell anyone! Not even Ozpina, Goodwitch or Y/n!

A/N: Y/n is on great terms with the teachers and staff.

DB/n: June, come on! I'd never rat on a friend like that!

June:*approaching* A... a friend?

DB/n: Of course!*traps June in a headlock under his arm despite her struggling* We're friends now, Juney girl! And the way I see it, as long as you're there for me when I need you, we'll be friends for a long time.*finally releases June, who gasps as she leans on the ground* That being said, I really don't have time to do those extra readings Dr. Oobleck gave us today. Think you could take care of that for me, buddy?*leans down to rub June's hair and gets up with a grin* That's what I thought.*heads back to hang onto the edge* Don't worry, June; your secret's safe with me.

DB/n drops back down to his room as June rubs her neck in pain and worry.

Meanwhile by the rooftop door we see a pissed off Y/n.

Y/n:*pissed* As much as I want to kick that asshole's ass.*sad* It will just get worse if I interfere.

Y/n walks away as the scene fades to black.

Y/n (off-screen): Stay strong. Fearless leader.
