AN: So in honor of New Years and the fireworks keeping me up I dedicate this omake introducing the Hellstorm Rocket Battery from Warhammer Fantasy. Dubbed so when a rocket nearly hit the head of state and the litany of curses used to reprimand the crew.
Ophelia Feathertally is a Profesor of the Imperial University of the Crystal Protectorate. Her job is to mold the young and inquisitive minds of her students into sharp and productive members of society.
The University provides a variety of courses, from an Officer and Diplomat Course, to a Medicine and Engineering Course. Each course have different ways to graduate. The Officer course given a war game where they have to work in teams and win the scenario through planning and indirect feedback by couriers which are the examiners who also give them situations for them to overcome. The Diplomats are given a variety of diplomatic situations and told to solve them. For the Engineering Course, the students must make a proof of concept prototype of an invention that can benefit society.
Since she is a Professor in the Engineering department, she is now inspecting what looks like a Fireworks rack.
"So this is your final term invention, Mr. Blackclaw?"
"Yes, ma'am. I still need to figure out a name, but I think this will revolutionize how we can protect our home."
"And how would your invention do that exactly?"
"Well, with the introduction of the cannon and explosives, the Empire is able to punch above its weight class. Without them, we would not have won the Winter Wars and defeated Sombra like we did. Thus I have designed a weapon that combined the range of a cannon with the explosive power of a mine, but wait there is more. With multiple rockets this invention can launch the equivalent to 6 cannons simultaneously and can be reloaded at the fraction of the time as all that is needed, is to attach the premade rockets to their racks."
"Interesting, So how did this invention came to be?"
"My family operates a fireworks business, thus I have an intimate understanding of fireworks and explosives. Over the years, I experimented with miniature rockets and I feel confident enough today to present this as my research invention."
"Then by all means, show me a demonstration."
"Alright the first step would be to make the rocket itself. I made these with my family's equipment and permission, I have included the process in my research paper. Once the rockets are made you simply slot it in the rack, tie their fuses together, aim the rack in the general direction of the enemy and then you light the fuse."
As he did the motions, Mr. Blackclaw pointed his weapon at a field of scarecrows. With the fuses lit, it didn't take long for the rockets to ignite and launch itself into the air. 4 hit the general area of the scarecrows and explode catching a few of them on fire and a few are blown away by the blast resulting in a small crater. But one corkscrew in the air and flew to the left before threading itself through an open window in the Military department wing and exploded inside.
"... isn't that Sergeant Earlybird's classroom?"
"... I am sooo dead."
"WHO BLEW UP MY CLASSROOM!? WHEN I GET MY CLAWS ON THE SORRY EXCUSE OF A LIFEFORM WHO DID THIS I WILL RIP THEIR SKULL FROM THEIR SPINE AND MOUNT THEM ON MY WALL!"
"What are you doing standing around?! FLY! FLY YOU FOOL!" at my command Mr. Blackclaw beats a hasty retreat just as the livid sergeant emerged from the window and flew down to me.
"Ms. Feathertally, if you would be so kind as to tell me the identity of the bird who blew up my classroom I promise when I get my claws on him I will not Strangle him with his own living guts!"
Before I could reply another Griffon, Captain Steeltalon arrived to the scene. "Settle down Sarge, I need a sitrep, what is the situation?"
Begrudgingly, the Sergeant took a deep breath, calmed down, and saluted."Sir, my students and I were just returning from a War Game before I heard the sound of fireworks and explosion from outside my classroom window. When I looked through, I saw a firework corkscrew outside before straightening itself directly towards the window. I quickly push my students out into the hall and closed the door. Once the firework exploded inside the classroom, I opened the door to see my classroom is a burning warzone. I looked outside and saw Ms. Feathertally standing next to the cause of the damage and a griffin flying to the hills. I was just questioning the Ms. before you arrived sir. That conclude my report."
The Captain nodded before saying. "At ease sergeant, return to your class and continue your session in one of the spare rooms I'll take it from here and have this sorted out."
"Sir yes sir." With that Sergeant Earlybird flew back to attend to his flock.
"So Ms. Feathertally can you please explain to me what happened?"
After a thorough explanation, finding Mr. Blackclaw, and the Captain convincing him that he will not be expelled and is infact willing to fund his research into turning his invention into a more reliable weapon for the Empire. However his invention nearly cause a lot of injuries so as punishment Mr. Blackclaw will get join Sergeant Earlybird's class in PT for a week with the instructor taking extra care to find much more imaginative ways to 'motivate' him through the course.
I heard that he had found a name for his invention, said it was inspired by the volatile sergeant who is now his worst nightmare.

@Questor, hope you enjoy this omake. Sergeant Earlybird was based off of R.Lee Ermey, originally was supposed to be Earlybirdie but I'll assume he shortened it to be more professional. His lines are inspired by Sergeant Johnson in Halo Combat Evolved. Snuck in a Lord of the Rings references with Ms. Feathertally. Captain Steeltalon's name was based off GDI Steel Talons division of Command and Conquer 3. The university's different tests is something I made up that makes some sense for their future line of work, but if you feel it isn't right you can tell me what it is and the reason so I can correct it. We had fireworks for years, someone is bound to say "What happens when I point it at a wall?"
