She revealed that she had been a student at Signal Academy, which explained a lot from what he could tell about her so far. She was highly intelligent, he didn't feel any shame in exploiting it.<br/><br/>Sigurd took the device she offered to him and turned it left and right, inspecting it as she elaborated on "functionality" and "efficiency." Handing the device back to her, he watched her hit a button and the baton unfurled into a fan. It was just like Erdbeben. Was the design based on Atlesian tech?<br/><br/><strong>It needs a little tweaking, but it's just a...bit of a hobby.</strong><br/><br/>Sigurd smiled at her. "Your hobby is amazing. If my hammer ever breaks down, then I know who to go to. I can also help you out by giving you some projects if you want? I've been trying to come up with a way to concentrate the dust that is released when my hammer falls. If I could make it stronger, then my hammer might be able to shatter a Grimm's skull."<br/><br/><strong>...That's what we're here for, isn't it? To learn to face Grimm and protect the kingdom?</strong><br/><br/>Sigurd added absently, "From the Faunus..."<br/><br/>The crowd shifted as it parted like the sea, making a path for Headmaster Ozpin to reach the stage. His speech was to the point and by the end of it, Sigurd's red brows were raised on his forehead.<br/><br/>"Emerald Forest? Now?" He looked so caught off guard and confused. "...It's now or never I guess."<br/><br/>The academy was testing everyone already, separating those prepared from those unprepared. Sigurd didn't look like someone who was dressed for combat. With his open vest, his tie, and pants, he looked just like any teenager rather than a warrior--an obviously fit one. He had to be fit to wield his hammer effectively.<br/><br/>"Whatever..." He smiled confidently and glanced over to Aurelia. "Good luck out there. I'm sure we'll both do fine. If you get in trouble, and if I happen to be in the area, just give me a call. I'm not the greatest fighter, but I'll fight to the teeth to protect a friend. See you around."<br/><br/>Sigurd then left Aurelia to join the crowd of students that were flooding toward the doors.
