Port made no mention of there being homework (thankfully - Ashe didn't even have a dorm yet, so homework would completely crush her), then yammered on about how well the class had done, but Ashe didn't see it that way. There were several ways they could have killed the Dionaea in a matter of seconds, and nobody had done any of them - probably because everybody was expecting everybody else to do it, or because everybody was too focused on teamwork and protecting one another to mow the creature down early. On the bright side, Ashe now knew what weak points looked like on plantlike Grimm, and that there were actually weak points to begin with. The plantlike Grimm didn't seem to be any different from animalistic Grimm except in shape and limb count. There was still a central point necessary for their survival, which meant... [color=708090][i]Fuck. Lightning kills them. And I hate using Lightning.[/i][/color]

Before Ashe could come up with any proper strategies on how to kill Dionaea in the future, the bell rang, signaling the end of the class. So she turned to leave and spotted Skye on the way out of the room. With a quick jog, Ashe caught up to the fox and tapped her on the back. [color=708090]"So, uh... Thanks for earlier, I guess. Didn't think I'd do so badly against that thing."[/color]

[b]"No need to thank me, I should have noticed you were alone far sooner than I did. Maybe then you wouldn't have been hurt so badly..."[/b], Skye replied. The taller Fox Faunus was visibly exhausted and favoring her right shoulder. [color=708090][i]Bit hypocritical to talk like that, given your condition...[/i][/color], Ashe thought to herself. With a flash, Skye's expression shifted slightly as though remembering something. Ashe suddenly remembered too: they'd made plans to go to the gym later. Skye wasn't exactly in good shape and they needed to fix that.

[b]"I'm heading to Physical Education now, so as for the gym later... well I should be healed up by then. More importantly thanks for helping to get those tentacles off me. I had hoped that part would go... better than it did."[/b]

[color=708090]"Yeah, didn't expect them to throw something that big at us on our first day, but... You did pretty well. And I'm fine. Yue patched me up nicely. Guess I'll see you in Dust Apps later, right? Hopefully that'll be a bit calmer than Grimm Studies was."[/color]

Skye tried to shrug and winced at the sharp sting in her left shoulder. [b]"But it can happen just like that out there, and with even less warning. Normally I'd suggest running, but it's going to be our job to kill them as Hunters. But thank you. If Dust Apps is half as bad as fighting a Riesen..."[/b]

[color=708090]"Heh, yeah, running's always an option. The thought [i]did[/i] cross my mind a couple times. And... Hm. There's no way the Dust Apps teacher is as bad as Port, right? ...Right?"[/color]

[b]"I-I don't know. I've never met her..."[/b]

[color=708090]"How 'bout this. If it's half as bad as Treezilla back there, I'll try to find a way to pay you back for dragging me into your group."[/color]

[b]"Fair. Consider it a deal."[/b]

Ashe smiled and nodded in response. [color=708090]"Well, guess this is bye for now. Hope you enjoy your next class, Skye!"[/color]

Ashe found herself staring at her Scroll map. It wasn't very detailed, and the room number listed on her class schedule wasn't anywhere on the old map program she had. One by one, she went down the list of every single building on the map. SB212 wasn't anywhere. Hell, the prefix "SB" wasn't on any of the buildings, so she assumed it simply wasn't anywhere on the grounds. She turned around and stared at the central tower for a moment, then glanced about for the best vantage points. The top of the amphitheater seemed decent enough, and within a few minutes and with an impressive display of climbing skill, she made her way to the top of the structure. The hooflike shoes she was wearing were coming in handy sooner than she'd expected - she'd have to thank her family for them when she had time to check out the CCT.

From the top of the building, she could see a fair bit more of the surrounding campus. Beacon was [i]enormous[/i] - far larger than she'd imagined, and she couldn't help but wonder why there were so few professors teaching at a school with so many dormitory buildings. Presumably Beacon also handled post-graduate classes. Even though some of the buildings blocked her view, with her scroll in hand she could roughly map out which buildings were where -- and far off in the distance, she saw something beyond the borders of her map. Something square and grey, about the height of a small tree and much wider, with a flickering light coming out of it. Ashe assumed this was where she needed to go, and made her way in that general direction, with a solid 'Clack!' as her keratin rimmed shoes crashed into the pavement below.

Several more minutes passed and she came to the building in question, entered, and searched for the classroom. Most of the place was broken down and fairly eerie, but all abandoned buildings were like that. After checking each room, she went upstairs and eventually found the classroom in question, where she took a seat in the far back corner of the room and waited for class to start.
