Currently, Ruby was sitting in a small dark room with a face full of shame looking at Glynda pacing around the table where Ruby and Mesa were sitting. Mesa had bored look.
Glynda broke the silence first with " I hope that you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly. You put yourselves and others in great danger".
"They started it!" Ruby replied
Glynda ignored Ruby and continued " If it were up to me, you'd be sent to home… With a pat on the back…" Ruby smiled but her smile didn't last as Glynda continued " and a slap on the wrist …." Before she could finish talking Mesa interrupted her.
" Says the one who acted in the most reckless manner".
Glynda gave Mesa an angry glare and said " Care to repeat ?"
Mesa laughed lightly and said " EWW, Scary, Scary, you know getting angry will make you look older. More importantly, you did a very poor job at the roof. With all honesty i truly wonder who allowed you to be a huntress "
Ruby looked at Glynda who was about to explode and Mesa who was smirking. She started to get worried for Mesa.
Glynda held back her anger and said " A little kid questioning my actions. You know this will only add to your punishment"
Mesa didn't care about her threat and said " Your first mistake was creating a barrier to block the explosion while you could have blocked the blast and stopped the explosion itself from occurring. Second, you attacked a flying jet in a reckless manner. What would you have done if it fall? We could have ended with many casualties. Not to mention, thanks to your professional handling, the collateral damage increased by many folds. If being a huntress means to have a bad decision making and cause unnecessary damage, Then congratulations, you are one of the best huntsmen out there hahaha"
Glynda looked a little bit ashamed before the anger consumed her again " I had to protect you. Besides, nothing would have happened if you didn't decide to play the huntsmen" retorted back
Mesa still smiling " I guarantee you, your protection was completely unneeded. As for nothing would have happened, That's true. If Ruby didn't decide to stop the robbery, then you wouldn't have caught some of the thieves and we would have ended with few kilograms of high quality dust stolen … Possibly a corpse of an old man. Well he the old man has a leg in the grave already , so nothing much compare to the destroyed roof"
Glynda was now speechless. She was very angry but she didn't have any good come back to what she heard.
A voice heard speaking " Now, now , everyone. Let's just calm down". Glynda stepped on the side letting a man in green with white hair coming through the door. The man was holding a mug and a plate of cookies.
He proceeded toward the table, then looked at the two sitting. He leaned toward Ruby and said " Ruby Rose… You have silver eyes. "
Ruby didn't know how respond "Uh, um ..."
The man then looked at Mesa who was looking back at him. The fact that Mesa eye's were rotating intrigued the man " Your eyes seem special, as if they can see more than what we see"
Mesa still smiling said " You know the way you look at us and the tone you speak with, makes you look like a gay and pedophile at the same time "
Mesa's sentence left different expressions on the three present. Ozpin eyes twitched clearly, Glynda was embarrassed and Ruby was confused.
Mesa continued " Look even the blonde over there, agrees"
Ozpin looked at Glynda, who looked away in return.
"Uumm, what do gay and pedophile mean?" Ruby asked innocently
Mesa's face didn't show any change as he explained " gay means a male that have an interest in other male sexually, while pedophile means an adult interest sexually in a minor regardless of the gender "
Ruby eyes widened and screamed " EEW… Disgusting, stay away from me"
Ozpin's eyes twitched again as he said " I would appreciate if you don't go around framing me mr. Uchiha"
[ As expected the old fox did his homework] But Mesa didn't say anything. Afterall he didn't care much about Ozpin.
Ozpin looked back at Ruby, who stopped fussing about Mesa's words, and asked " So! Where did you learn to do this ?" gesturing with his head at the tablet showing Ruby's fighting
" S-Signal Academy" Ruby answered
" They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed ?" Ozpin continued questioning
"Well, one teacher in particular"
Ozpin replied " I see ..."
Ozpin put the cookies on the table in front of Ruby. She tentatively picked one up, ate it in a single bit, and then, not seeing any rebuttal, shovels the rest into her mouth.
From the side Mesa whistled and said " you are just like a squirrel, hiding your food in your cheeks". Ruby blushed when she heard Mesa's word.
Ozpin didn't pay attention to Mesa's words and spoke " It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old crow..."
Ruby mumbled through her full mouth, when she realised her mistake she swallowed and wiped her mouth and said embarrassedly " Sorry. That's my uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now, I'm all like - hoowaah ! Witchaaa !" she said the last part while making some karate-style poses and noises
" hahahaha " Mesa laughed out loud at Ruby demonstrations, which made ruby blush again.
Ozpin yet again ignored Mesa and continued his conversation with Ruby " So I've notices. And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at school designed to train warriors?"
"Well… I want to be a huntress" Ruby answered
" You want to slay monsters ?" Ozpin asked
" Yeah! I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon! You see, my sister's starting there this year, and she's trying to become a huntress, and I'm trying to become a huntress because i want to help all those in need. My parent always taught us to help others, so I thought ' Hey, I might as well make a career out of it', I mean the police are alright, but huntsmen and huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really,gosh, you know'" Ruby was talking faster and faster with her enthusiasm.
Glynda and Ozpin studied her. But before they could say anything, Mesa talked again " You know, Ruby, you are mistaken. What you wish to do is not the work of huntsmen and huntresses "
Ruby and even Glynda looked confused, while Ozpin didn't ignore him this time and asked " Care to elaborate mr Uchiha"
Mesa said with serious face " What she want to be is a heroine like those in the stories. She wants to help everyone and be the good person saving the day and follow her ideals through to the end, while huntsmen and huntresses help and protect the people to an extent. They don't follow the same ideals as they have more realistic approach toward reality. In addition, there code of morale has less restrictions"
It was Glynda turns to talk " I didn't get it, what is your point ?"
Mesa answered " A hero would try to save everyone regardless to who they are or what they did, while a huntsman will protect the civilians but wouldn't protect criminals and the like as they deserve what happens to them. This is the first major difference, The second is their handling toward evil. A hero would try to bring back criminals from their evil path as it is helping them to be good again, while a huntsmen will make them drawn further in evil. You might say putting them behind the bars in a person is that for them to think over and redeem themselves, however last time i check, making them die slowly behind the bars didn't turn them into productive members of the society, some of them resent it even more. While others became even worse than before"
Glynda was silent, she didn't know what to say. On the other hand, Ozpin did" Even though you make a valid point, we can't possibly attempt to change everyone. Thus, we could only stop them from harming others as much as possible"
Mesa eyes return to Ozpin as he said " And that what i meant by a realistic approach"
Ozpin took a sip of coffee and spoke " From you tone, i feel like you dislike huntsmen and huntresses mr Uchiha "
Mesa shock his head " Not at all, as long as they don't cross my way, we are all good. However, if they do, then they are just unfortunate"The last few words came out with faint killing intent.
Both Ozpin and Glynda became wary of him as they thought [ He had killed huntsmen and huntresses before ]
