Fabrication Pt2

(Knock) (Knock)

Glynda: Enter!

The door opens and Dolan enters the classroom.

Dolan: Hey aunty.

Glynda: Glad you came Dolan I appreciate your help with this.

Dolan: No problem, however...

He looks at the large stack of papers next to her.

Dolan: Why are there so many? I feel like this should have already been taken care of or am I just imagining things?

Glynda: You're most certainly correct this should have been taken care of however the one in charge of this had a minor stroke and needed to be taken to the hospital. This was around the time you were out dealing with the Enmity. So, the incident took some of the staff by surprise and left many things unfinished.

Dolan: I see I wasn't aware. And what of the person who had the stroke?

Glynda: They're fine but Ozpin has insisted they take some time off so in the meantime Peach and I have been finishing the leftover.

Dolan: Well alright then, in that case, let's get this finished shall we!

Glynda: Gladly, here you grab that pile.

Both Dolan and Glynda are making their way down the hall with loads of student files in tow. They spent the next few minutes in silence until Glynda broke it by asking Dolan the one thing he didn't want to hear left her lips.

Glynda: So, Dolan~

Glynda: Could you perhaps explain why Mr. Winchester was sent to the nurse's office...again?

Dolan: ...

Dolan: Um well...It wasn't me.

Glynda: Yes, I know it was Ms. Adel who was responsible however you and Ms. Yamaha let it happen?

Dolan: In my defense, I see what happened to Cardin as Irony. He was harassing and bullying Velvet so Coco steps in to harass and bullies the shit out of him. He gets what he deserves. And I know what you're going to say: That I should do what I'm tasked with and prevent altercations from happening, but I strongly believe that Cardin needs to learn the hard way.

Dolan: In Beacon the worst-case scenario he gets beat up and sent to the nurse. But if he tries that same shit outside Beacon like in places such as Mistral which is full of thieves and bandits or Vacuo, the only place they're sending his ass is the morgue. Best to take the licks here and learn to treat others with more respect while he still can.

Glynda: I won't deny that Mr. Winchester's actions towards some of his classmates have been less than acceptable...however violence should never be the first option when dealing with the matter, Dolan.

Dolan: *sigh* Fine, I under-

Before he could finish something large and metallic knocks him over causing him to drop the files he was carrying. When he looked to see what hit him it was none other than a robotic-looking dog. It was at this moment both he and Glynda knew who was responsible. Further down the hallway, a familiar visor-wearing student was scratching his head knowing full well... "He fucked up".

Glynda: MR. OCHRE!!!

Oliver: Sorry Professor... still working out the bugs! Um, you ok Dolan!?

Dolan: Fine, just wondering why the fuck some robotic S****y-D** looking ass ran me over?

Oliver: Eh well... I wanted to try out one of the functions but wasn't aware someone was coming this way.

Dolan: You didn't hear me speaking to my aunt as we were coming down the hall.

Oliver: Um... yeah, the only thing I could hear was the blaring sounds of "Error" over and over again in my ear... sorry.

Glynda: Mr. Ochre please just take that thing away and please for the love of gods, don't try this on the campus... again!

Oliver: Y-Yes ma'am! I'll just be taking this and then get out of your way!

He grabs his mechanical mut and bolts it down the hall Glynda and Dolan just came from. Once he is no longer able to be seen Dolan and his aunt begin picking up the files to try and get them neat. As he is shifting through the different papers, he stumbles upon a photo of a blonde whose face he recognizes. It was the file of Team JNPR's leader, Jaune Arc. Feeling a bit curious Dolan decides to take a bit of a peek at Jaune's file wondering how someone like him got accepted into Beacon in the first place when the guy just barely managed to make it past initiation with the help of Pyrrha. At first, everything seemed to check however it was only until Dolan started to read the further passages that he started to see some inconsistencies. While over the past four years working in Beacon Dolan rarely deals with this kind of paperwork, in the small instances that he did, however, he learned to pick up on false information with the help of the other faculty members.

Upon finishing analyzing the file Dolan decided to get his aunt's attention and have her take a look to see if what he noticed was correct.

Dolan: Uh... Aunty Glynda?

Glynda: Yes, what is it, Dear?

Dolan: I just took a peek at Jaune Arc's file out of curiosity and well... I'm not a hundred percent sure about this but could you perhaps take a look at this, please?

Glynda: Certainly, let me see.

Adjusting her glasses, she begins reading over Jaune's file as well. At first, all seems well until Dolan noticed the shift in her eyes as she read further. Considering that one of the staff members had a minor stroke as well as the appearance of the Enmity the day before initiations, no one would probably notice this until much later. But now that Glynda and Dolan have seen it there were no more doubts to be had. The leader of Team JNPR, and partner to Pyrrha Nikos, Jaune Arc... had faked his transcripts. Glynda may have given a pass on Ruby due to Ozpin, but she certainly wasn't about to let this one go.

Glynda: Dolan, please hold on to Mr. Arc's file. Once we deliver the other files you and I are going straight to see Ozpin!

Dolan: R-right. (She is not happy about this.)

-Later in Ozpin's Office-

After delivering the other files Glynda and Dolan make their way up to Ozpin's office. Ozpin seemed quite surprised by the unannounced visit yet remained unfazed by whatever had Glynda so upset.

Glynda: Ozpin do you see this!?

She dangles Jaune's file in Ozpin's face.

Ozpin: If I'm not mistaken this is Mr. Arc's file.

Glynda: Yes, and it is also fake! This explains Mr. Arc's poor performance these past few weeks. He's had zero training whatsoever. By all accounts, he should have never been accepted into Beacon!

Ozpin: Glynda...

Glynda: No, I was willing to excuse Ms. Rose but I am not letting this one slide. Mr. Arc cannot be allowed to continue to remain in Beacon. If he wants to be a Huntsman, then by all means he can try again. After he goes through the proper training and filing the proper transcripts then and only then will we accept him back!

Glynda: I'm sorry Ozpin but we can't risk our students or others with no training to go out and face the Grimm.

While she did not like this Glynda wasn't angry that Jaune cheated his way into Beacon, but what the risks would be if he stayed. If word got out that someone faked their transcripts and was allowed to attend Beacon this would no doubt cause others to probably try and do the same. Glynda simply wanted to protect Jaune from a worst-case scenario. As for Dolan...

Dolan: (If Jaune stays he'll only be putting himself and his team at risk. The best thing to do is simply give him the boot and find someone who can replace him.)

Dolan: (I've got nothing against him, and he doesn't seem all bad, but this is for his own good. As he currently won't be able to cut it, he's too weak.)

It was at this moment he remembers the dream of his mentor playing back the words she said to him in his head.

Satella (Flashback): You know Someday, you may find someone who had it similar to you Dolan. And if that day does come, it will be up to you whether or not you're willing to help nurture that person's potential or turn a blind eye to it.__

Dolan: ...

Ozpin: I suppose you are right Glynda in that case I'll-

Dolan: Give him a chance!

Both Ozpin and Glynda turned their heads towards Dolan's direction for confirmation.

Ozpin: Pardon me Dolan my hearing isn't what it used to be, but I could have sworn I heard you say to you want us to give Mr. Arc a chance?

Dolan: Yes, you did hear me say that!

Glynda: But why?

Dolan: ...

Dolan: It's true... Jaune has no training whatsoever and by all accounts, he should be booted out immediately. Unlike the Pipsqueak, he doesn't have Qrow as a mentor nor has he exhibited any progress.

Dolan: However, if we turn a blind eye to him now then we may never get to witness it!

Glynda: Witness what?

Dolan: The moment when he proves us wrong! Let me put him to my own test! I'll grade him by my own set of standards! If I think he's got what it takes then he can stay and if he doesn't... I'll throw his ass out of Beacon myself!

Ozpin: Hmm... and what of you Glynda? What do you say to this?

Glynda: One more question Dolan.

Dolan: Go on.

Glynda: What makes you think Jaune can hack it?

Dolan: As I said I won't know for certain unless I give him a chance. Everyone has the capacity to grow and be strong, not just in terms of being a Huntsman but also as a person.

Dolan: I'm sure Satella would have done the same thing if she were here.

Ozpin: ...

Glynda: ...

Glynda: I see... then if that is the case Mr. Arc better pass your test with flying colors if he knows what's good for him.

She couldn't help but smirk as she said that.

Glynda: (You certainly rubbed off on him haven't you...Satella.)

The headmaster gave a soft smile and looked Dolan in the eyes...

Ozpin: Well then Dolan how do you plan on going about your test for our dear Mr. Arc?

Dolan: Pfff, haha, not damn clue~

Both Ozpin and Glynda upon hearing what Dolan just said, facepalmed themselves.
