As the students slowly shuffled into the Language classroom, they would notice the class' professor leaning against his desk, reading a medium-sized book. The cover of the book was falling apart with several clumps of pages missing as well. Prof. Albion continued reading the book, gingerly turning the pages, waiting for the bell to signal the beginning of class. As soon as it did, the professor immediately started the day's class.

"A fox faunus, a donkey faunus, and a lion faunus go on a hunt together," his voice booms. The shape of the classroom was similar to that of an amphitheater, allow his already loud voice to be easily heard over the noise of the students' conversations. "When the day comes to a close and the three decide to divide their spoils, the donkey decides to divide their catch into three equal portions. The lion kills the donkey and turns to the fox, telling her to now divide the food in front of them. The fox puts everything into one pile, except for a small scrap of meat, and asks the lion to choose one of the two piles. As the lion faunus begins to walk away with the larger of the two piles, he turns to ask the fox faunus where she had learned to share things in such a way. The fox faunus responds, "From the donkey’s misfortune." As Prof. Albion finishes reading the excerpt from the book in his hand, he slowly and carefully sets it down on his desk, and turns to his students. "You," he says, pointing to a random student. "What is the theme of the story?"

The student, who had been too busy talking to their classmates to have fully heard the entire story, looked confused at Albion's question. "Uh, don't be an ass?" they respond, coercing a few laughs and chuckles from the other students.

Albion ignored the student and looked around to choose another student to answer his question. "What about you? Do you know the theme of this fable?"

Robert listened to Prof. Albion's story with full attention. No way was he going to get on a teacher's bad side on the first day. Well, not another teacher's bad side that is. At least he hoped he wasn't on Ms. Vanhomrigh's bad side. "Oh well. Can't do anything about it now," he thought aloud. Albion asked a student that Robert didn't recognize what the theme of the fable was. Robert knew of course, it was basically said by the fox faunus at the end, so he was glad that he was the second student chosen to answer the question. "Basically, learn from the mistakes of others," he responded.

"Good job, Mr. Fallson," Albion congratulated. It made Robert feel a little uncomfortable that the professor called him by his last name. Albion then continued speaking to Robert, glaring at the student from before while doing so, "Something I'm glad you have taken to heart." Albion turned back to his desk and grabbed a stack of papers, placing them in front of the nearest student. "Take one then pass the rest to the next student," he instructed. "These will give me an idea of how well you all know basic grammar and spelling. Please try your best, unless you want me to treat you as if you have a learning disability for the rest of the year."

Robert looked at the paper he was given. Nothing too hard, only two pages of fill-in-the-blank questions, multiple choice, etc. Someone would basically have to actually try to fail to get a bad grade on the paper. Robert hoped the class would be like this for the rest of the year, then Practice and Math would be the only difficult classes.
