CHAPTER TWO - Jaune Arc in a infinite stratos

BEACON ACADEMY

POV

Woah.. .... the very Tower of Beacon looks very much amazing from afar, even as just a silhouettes, but up close... it was breathtaking! As she kept on looking at tower and as it's very surroundings area's as the very other department that was connected with it now and the very important that it very structure and material it was used in building this place was and as then might be massive now as she's thought to herself as Ruby still couldn't believe that's the Professor Ozpin had let her someone like her in and then into his Academy a whole two years early as it was a dream come true for the little red-hooded girl now as then the only thing as keeping her grounded in reality was the crushing form of her older sister Yang Xiao-Long - as who was quite literally crushing her by hugging her as with those big strong arms and her stupid boobs "I can't believe my little sister's coming to Beacon with me! Ohhhhh, I'm so proud…" As Yang told her and kept on hugging her.

"Erk… Yang, please stop…Yang !!!!!!!" As ruby just as kept on saying or in other words streaming toward her big sister as well no matter what she didn't want to as let her go " What ? Yo Is an older sister not allowed to show her dear youngest sister just how much she just loves her ? Everyone's here gonna think you're totally the bee's knees a genius !!!" As she just told her little sister as then she's just stopped hugging her as she's just was looking around in her very surroundings now

"She can, but I'd rather not you suffocate me as while you do... That !! "Ruby said, aptly ignoring the knees comments. At her words, the taller girl dropped Ruby from her tight embraced and placed her hands at her hips."Sorry Rubes," As Yang apologised. "Was that a little too tight for ya?" It was, but that wasn't the most pressing factor of the hug. Ruby drew her silver eyes to meet the very large twins boob her older sister had and was blessed with and that's caused her the pain. Fah, those were totally a pain to Yang, weren't they ? They had to be, being so… so… stupidly large... As Ruby wasn't jealous at all.....From it she is above that as she drinks milk as planned "As Whatcha looking at Ruby ? Ruby ?" A perplexed expression remained on Yang's face until she's followed the younger girl's line of sight, the expressions swapping to a mocking grin. "Oh… I see... I see" Yang kept her hands on her hips while leaning closer into her sisters. "I wouldn't worry too much, Rubes, you still got time." As she's told her

"I-I drink milk! Waaaaah!" As Yang was right she's had time to grow....In to a proper girl but she feels cheated but why!!!! god why !!!! So what her sister was just two years older than her after all Ruby Rose took off at the speed of sound and just leaving petals in her wake as It looked as though the Airship they were traveling on had long since touched down but before then a very tall and strange blonde boy just come before her and her sister before throwing up on her shoes as well she was panicking server her right as then just prompting Ruby to use her very semblance to just escape her as crippling insecurities about her but body as she's ran towards the very Airship to school entrances as Yang reached out her hand in an attempt to stop her sister, "Ruby, wait!" As Even though she did knew that Ruby was long gone, it didn't stop her from trying. "Okay, so maybe I took it little too far... heh, little." Shaking her head, the blonde made to catch up. "Rubes, wait up!" Stupid Yang, stupid boobs, stupid knees... stupid.... Stupid just stupid.... Stupid stupid.....Just Stupid just stupid.... Just Stupid stupid.... Stupid As she thought as she kepts on running forward not seeing every she was going now as then he hit her head just as then as she looked up " hoooo ..... This is not ... good at all"

As the world is a stranger places for strangers people as no matter what they think about there life's and as life and fate had plan for that very individual as whole existence as well that position and they people have a current and certain place that attraction people like they like magnets as that's place's know has beacon Academy as it was located in kingdom of vale as just it's one of the four most famously and very prestigous Hunter Academies in the world now has just only one of the best of the best of Academy in terms of values and student's from all around remnant come here as test there very skills as they are two sets of exams as one is the write exam and another one is the physical exams as they're all just have to earn theirs way in the academy with there very training they're have learned as over the year's now and then with there's very own determination will be there very success in theirs very test's in the end as it was one of the few things that he thought about with the story as we'll then very certain blonde young man just arounds the age of seventeen was walking down the ways path away of beacon and he was impressed by the interastructure of the place.

As he had heard from others about this place and it's very different story's and the very heroes that comes from here and that vale greatest heroes that build as this places and later bigger heroes rise from within it and jaune Arc was looking at the very fountain statue as along with the very main building's of the Beacon Academy as He was just looking at the building with a sad expression as he looked at the fountain statue as well he recognise the two peoples standing together as they are his very historically ancestor as who build the kingdom of vale and as fought against Grimm for centuries till the great war as then the very huntsman academy we're established by the last king of vale as it was marking of a new beginning of remnant as Arc just had an defeated face for the very most part as In all the shows he watched and all the comic's he read as jaune always just thought just runnings away from home would be a journey's filled with just very much excited and very adventure ahead of him and it's just did excitement, general badassery and a large harem of various women with impressive asset's as that he would meet along has the way in his very journey and that's just one of the things that just probably best the type of media he consumed remained unknown and but suffice to say - it's was a pretty big pain in the ass so far but then just Night's where he's couldn't put up his tent in the Academy but with him just vomiting on a girl very shoes as his first impression that's he can't afford to handle motion sickness as precious second time and the very first time he had his own pills and it was that moment he should have take the pills again but he's just problems towards it as he's just dropped them somewhere else and he can't remember where now as he started to remember the right way until the birds sang the next mornings and dwindling supplies of Pumpkin Pete cereal in his very backpack and very

the constant homesickness as that's just was started to plagued him just since he's started to hang around the hotels and then again he was attacked by the very Grimm in the forest and him being just life and as that was a miracle and then he was just life and well again and he started to doubt himself a bit as it all spelt for a pretty unpleasant experience and as then he's finally made it to his very destination and then he started to as realized about just something else in entirely now.

As he was in a combat school that's faced monsters in a daily routine and then he's didn't had any type of training or related types of skills in this field at all and he's managed to get here So imagine the teen's relief when he stumbled out of the bushes of the greenery and that's was next to the trash can and then he was throwing in it still as ' I shouldn't have lost theses very pill now' As he thought and counted more two time's that he had throw up by now and he knows about one thing as the sky's are not his friend as he's looked just around laid his eyes on a small crowd of people's and currently bustling with working people and then it was very happy moments in his life but well...here he was. Beacon he was finally he was here after so long now. As Jaune shuffled along with the rests of the students towards the very auditorium but was a big day for just everyone Today was the first day, meaning that's they were about to get their official orientation as He'd just read up about it on the pamphlet that he did received the other day as he was reading and studying about it and then as he later just realised that's he didn't have the skills that he needs to be a hero now Orientations and then Initiation, and then the assigning of teams. It was supposed to weed out those who passed the far more controlled entrance exams and as then combat schools and it was to just test how well they'd do in a relatively open-ended challenge As then After some time started to clean himself up from as after his little accident as then he struggled a little bit at first but just then jaune just get up started to straightened himself up now and then stood up straight and as then he just started to walk toward the school very entertains now

As Jaune know that he was just one of the very many students as Hundreds of hopefuls fighting to achieve theirs dream of becoming the protectors of mankind. They came from all walks of life. Rich and poor, inside the kingdoms or outside the walls and Beacon wasn't picky as So long as they could just prove themselves capable and then Beacon welcomed them all here as He had to remind himself of that as he tried to ignore the looks of the others students towards him as jaune was In a lot of ways was no one special not as he had just suddenly vomited on someone shoes and then a very much concerning silences for a moments now in the Airships as everyone's as just suddenly started to laugh towards him and make fun of him as jaune was beyond embarrassed himself at the moment as he is The only son of a big family, he'd always had dreams of becomings a hero like his grandfather's and great-grandfather but Life had other plans but he managed it still and still made it in time for the initiations and as then with his Family issues, some really bad years on the winery....with his uncle as jaune just had to pull up his bootstrap's and live in the real world like he's had promised his grandparents now as he's did wait just like that Days turned into weeks as weeks turned into months and into a year till now as he's finally had the chance to accomplished just...a bit later than normal.

As just then about as few minutes of patiently waiting and as then Shrugging his armour-plated shoulder to give his very backpack a better positions as jaune Arc began to meld into the very crowd of students but he then started to go around and just asked everyone as about where everyone's else and he should go for the entrance hall but everyone who he spoke to just point him to the another direction or flip him with a finger as that was just very rude but he didn't question them as they were pointing there weapon towards him or they were just glaring toward him for some reasons but he didn't care as he was in beacon academy and he just had made this far he can navigate some hall now and then he started to move around As then when he was walking around the area as then jaune saw a bunch of others students just beside as the very small building as then he walked towards them "Hey… sorry sir, but could you point me to the main hall for ceremony's ?"

Jaune Arc just held up his hand to a passerby as he's asked. He's expected tonight would be a good night's rest for a change and couldn't wait to feel the warmth of a bed's sheet's after the physical exam as what he didn't expected was for the boy he questioned to give him the stink eye pausing in his tracks to do so before continuing with a sour expression as the blond's boy very hand as still remained in the air as he's began to feel small droplets of water just form on his forehead as How embarrassing the thought of getting ignored in front of so many people made heat rush to his face.

Was it something he said ?But no matter! Jaune was to be an amazing and heroic huntsman, what's was a little social interaction to him ? As then he tried again "Could you tell me-" As they just glared at him "So Is there a-"Every. Single.Time Every single time he tried to get information from somebody, they would look at him like he was an insect before taking off and as just sure Jaune mostly stayed inside and as played video games so his social stats we're exactly up-to-par but even he knew this wasn't a problem with him. As The just only logical conclusion was this was a very good place but it was full of mean people and as they we're just everywheres in his cas but if he is just not careful enough he might be in trouble but then again but no.

As then he's did left home and just not telling his very parents and that might be one of his very issues but it will work out for everyone's in the very end as then his grandparent promise to tell themselves and as jaune trust his grandparents to do the right thing now and it was then he just can't let go of this very chance and it was the very reason and then as he just did internally contemplated his current situations and as externally sighed as he started to walk down the pathway taking a seat on an old bench as he thought about very just everything till as he remembers mostly broken crates on the side of the very cobbled pathway as it was just connected It's not like he couldn't just walk around it until he found a places as the Academy just wasn't all that big after all he hopes but it was just he thought he should make an effort to interact with people just a bit more after getting out of the very house and then just Gods knew about his sisters would always get on his case about not having any friends or being a general socially inept potato but then just out of nowhere but as he hoped that jaune can make good friends in the end and he can be a hero like his family and he's just sat there and just thinking about everything just now.

CHANGING LOCATION

POV

As things just had not been going well for Ruby Rose at the moment as she's was Two years younger than everyone's else's at Beacon and already abandoned by the one person as she thought she's could rely on the most as just From there's she's had caused some kind of introductions or something like that but just as today everything's was going to be normal has Today was supposed to be a great occasion as where Ruby Rose would start her journey on becoming a fantastic Huntress yet and it's was all ruined because her body refused to grow as The red-tinted brunette wondered if the cafeteria would serve milk at every meal but just then again Unfortunately for her and just this cost her precious few seconds of attention as that could have been used to avoid the figure clad in white inspecting her large array of suitcases as just Said figure looked up far too late to braces herself for the just oncoming projectile, "Hold on-!" As the individuals told her now.

CRAAAAASH

KABOOOM

"Ugh..." What's was left of the carnage was a crater in the floor and a red and as then white tangled mess on the floor. "Omigosh!!!! I am so sorry, I- I didn't see you there!" Ruby was up in an instant and offered her ash-covered hand to the pretty girl on the floor as Her light blue eyes looked at it before she's just grimaced and instead chose to stand up by herself and has dust her once pristinely dress now and just splotched in black. "I wouldn't expected you to..... As if you we're moving at the speed of a bullhead....now" She's said quietly and it was then Ruby lit up as she didn't expected her to be so understanding! Some people's just didn't get how hard it is to maneuver at the speed as she could reach with her Semblance as Luckily for her, this nice princess lady knows what's was up she's would have to ask her about her own Semblance later or she can be her new friend here as we can- "Which brings up the question on why you were moving at the speed of a bullhead on a public footpath now ! What were you thinking you dolt... ?!" As ruby was just interrupted by her unexpectedly as her very brain malfunctioned bit.

"Bwah ?"

"As Your conduct is highly inconsiderate and outright dangerous ! As Not to mention you just caused about two-thousand lien's worth of dust to explodes right on top of us! You're lucky that I'm not going to ask you for compensation or anything of the like" As she scolded ruby as she was processing everything that she was telling her 'Constipation ? Two-thousand liens ? As it was new to her as she didn't have that's kind of cash ! And why's did this girl turn from nice to nasty just like that she was making plans for the future with why's is this life so cruel ? As she's was just done internally as singing her praises too...As Ruby didn't think there was a way out of this eithers, her eyes darted around and met the alluring amber orbs of a girl clad in black and a cute little bow, but she's just quickly returned to whatever book she was reading and as slowly walked away from her and one thing to say to her"Nooooo..." As she was faithfully step to way from her but she's is started to walk toward's her "No? No !! As I think you should start off by saying `thank you` and as just then apologising, you clutz!" As she said to her Somebody save her.... please now as then her very saviour has aerived "Hah...hah... I finally caught up to you.....huh"

FEW MINUTES EARLY

POV

"Hah...hah... I finally found the entrance hall" As Due to his… very special circumstances of arrival as jaune had climbed up halfway along the very long pathways towards the Academy properly this time after some of the guy's just play some tricks or by prank by leading him in the wrong way twigs in his hair and scrapes on his skin as He's just prepared to take his first steps on the footpath before almost falling flat on his face due to a sudden burst of wind and.....wait rose petals ? As he saw something that's he couldn't understand at all and the only things saving his face getting a juicy kiss from the very ground was instead the highly tactically movement of his very forehead now as so it's just has would instead receive the blow, which - As despite his vast amount of Aura now - just was already forming a small, purple bump on his head. "Ow, whiskers !! !" As he hurt himself as It's still hurt like a charging bull too as " wait a minute what was that's ?" As he just spoke to himself now as he was pointing his finger up in just lucky had an idea or he has made a grand Discovery.

CRAAAAASH

KABOOOM

Maybe if I got my head off the floor I'd get my answer' as he thought now as then Following the instructions of his inner-self consciences, As jaune tore his head from its extremely comfortable spot on the ground to look at the unfolded chaos Infront of him now as what he saw was a young-looking girl as in an edgy looking outfit and the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life now "Nooooo…" the walking rose explosion complained just for whatevers reason now "No? No ! I think you should start off by saying `thank you` and then apologising, you clutz!" As The beautiful woman replied back to her and it so it's seems that's the very situation as might become quite ugly it's Too bad she seemed like a huge meanie but she is pretty but then meanie why god why's the pretty one as the younger girl's interestingly silver eyes we're wildly searchings for something's, possibly anything's, to get her out of as what Jaune assumed to be a highly uncomfortable conversation that's she would rather not be having at the moment but he was feeling something as his very meter was telling him something as what mother just always said " strangers are friends you haven't made yet" As she is right about that Maybe the first person he had to save at Beacon Academy didn't have to be in the jaws of a Beowolf or on the thin line of potential death like he imagine or how is grandfather explain as how he met his grandmother now but it's fine and has it not Beggars can't be choosers, I guess. Jaune had to start his very huntsman's journey somewhere after all Alright then it's time to be a hero now as strap's on his leather armour? Little loose as He reached over to his sides and has fastened each one trekking Forever Fall did that to you, he supposed and where is his ah yes Crocea Mors ! Jaune tapped the golden pommel. Where she belongs. Earring? He began to pat around his body and just steadily increasingly in speed once he couldn't feel the item anywhere as Someone may have thought he had strapped bongos onto his body and as just wouldn't have given him a second glance. Huntsmen these days and their very flashy weapons.

'Oh no worries is ho god. Had he really dropped them in Forever Fall again ? forget about killer robot's in the woods with tree logs for hands "Nope, not there... not there, either... come on really ?" As Trust his mentor's parting gift to go missing like that and as Opening the several pouches adorning the blond as multiple belts across his torso and pants - to no avail - Jaune let out a frustrated sigh just as only to notice the jingle under his left pocket "Oh," he said, "that's is where earrings go." As he let out a sight Still, forgot killer robots as In any case, jaune had a save the day and make friends Putting on a facade of exhaustion's coupled with the facts he dashed over to the scenes at commendable speeds brought upon a convincingly act to the two. A dirty, rugged blonde in leathers rags and a bird's nest for a head of hair ? Seems pretty severed for a friend chasing his very particularly fast companion now As Jaune put his hands on his knees he just panted out, "Hah… I finally caught up to you…huh" As he made to address the very girl in red but as came to the sudden realization that he had no idea what her name was. In a desperate attempt to both make him not look like an idiot and still save the girl he's said the first thing that came to mind, "Ho Rose….....?" As He squeaked out. As then Her very hood head just bounced as she just tilted her head towards him, "…Do I know you now ?"

As the other girl just raised an eyebrow, "Do you need help...sir ?" As she was scanning him from feet to his hair as she's was not impressed by him as he mighty be one of those very losers now "Me...How could you forget me its me your cousin luigi?" Jaune managed to look confused and as answered her as he turned to meet the very girl in red once more eyes wide and just begging her to answer her Take a hint, stupid ! This is your life and I'm trying to save here " As You shouldn't just take off like that....you had me and as your very sister just worried Sick about you !!" As he told her as

Jaune just ignored her instead silently pleading she's would help him out through grit teeth. "As Someone's could get hurt here as I can't save you all the time you know right ?" As he told her and she started to just as understand what he was doing he was saying that to help her look dad you can truly trust that bird nest hat boys now as she thought "Oh…" The girl appeared to understand something as putting a finger next to her mouth. "I am Sorry…... cousin luigi as It won't happen again I promise!" As she told him with a sad face now

Hmmm then from today's on I am luigi jaune arc now really now but one name belong to my twenties very cousin on my mother side or was it father sides now ? In any case, the last-ditch message seemed to have reached its target as taking her behind the shoulders, as Jaune started to push the girl away from the snow-white woman. She just wasn't making it any easier by standing ramrod straight with her heels in the ground. "Thanks a lot for taking care of her, she's a real clutz - I know." As he told and thank her at the sometime and then "Hey! I'm not that bad….... now.. but I don't think I am anyway….. I am sorry" As ruby told her His target widened her pretty sky-blue eyes, taken aback at the scene before they hardened into ice again. Suddenly, she started rummaging around her skirt pockets for something. "Hmph. At least take this and make sure that your friend or cousin over there takes good note of it." As she told them both as he's nodded "I'm right here, you know…."The woman harrumphed, sharply turning her head - leaving her destroyed luggage and a large crater in the ground before them both as then both of them looked at each other now before looking at her leave still as she does walk like a princess now.

…

...

... " So what next cousin luigi do next so we ball now"

...

... "No sister if we don't control our self she just might ... be suspicious of us if we both just faulter just now.

... But then I may I have some oats?

...no

...I am starving, brother.

... As am i, sister.

...The tall skinny figure has thrown the oats at me ME, ...BROTHER. i believethey have taken a liking to me.

...No brother, I have seen this before. I have observed ...many thing from the very roaring beaststhat the tall ...skinny figures crawl inside of to travel far beyond ... ...the horizon, to how the figureweeped and when the ...other had fallen into a deep sleep And from my very ...experiences I havelearned that they will give extra ...oats to one of us before taking them into the shed ...of noreturn. They will do terrible things in that shed, ... Sister of combat.

...LIES, THAT SHED IS WHERE THE CHOSEN ...ONES GO TO DINE WITH OUR TALLSKINNY ...GODS. YOU ARE A FOOL BROTHER AND YOU. ... SHALL BE LEFT BEHIND INTHE MUD WITH ...YOUR BACKWARDS IDEAS

...NO, SISTER. You must believe me. Share with me ...the oats and you shall not reach thedesired girth for ... the tall skinny ones. They will spare your life, ... sister.

...AHA. SO THIS WAS ALL A PLAN TO STEAL MY. ... OATS. You truly are dispicable, brother. I will not ... trust your lies.

...I am sorry for you, Sister Your eyes cannot take the ...blinding light of the truth and youscurry back into ...the cave. I shall take care of your spawn once they ...consume you, sister as they have consumed your ...lover, our father, our mother, and many more.

...

...Wait what !!??!?!

...

...Wait what !!??!?!

...

Hahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahahaha But then both of them started to laugh with other and like there were actually brother and sister and as they both don't care or know people looking towards them both in question as they have bunch of weirdos now.

...

As then for few moments later in internal silence with the emperors and then the space marines turn to his future sister of combat with the very imminent threat was finally gone, Jaune exhaled deeply and let go of the very gothic girl's shoulders and crossed his arms. "Seriously sister you should be careful ?" She pouted and held a light blush at her lack of creativity. "Look, it was in the heat of the moment okay? And it's not like you can talk anyway... like Rose really rose ? Doesn't take a genius to figure out how you got that one… in the garden now and where did you even know it's my real name are you spying at me ?" As she's told him with a blush on her face As jaune just looked towards her puzzled as why would he spy at her she is not that attractive or anything or not his type but why's will he even spy on a girl in the first place anyways it's just a waste of time and how's many comics he can read in that free time now or try to Train a bit later "The funny thing is that it was symbol and pattern on your back of your clock and badges at your belt now.... So that just what I thought..... I am sorry to offend you miss and it was then Ruby realised what he meant and she was then embarrassed in front of him as she accused him of being a stalker as while he is her saviour how dumb can she be " sorry I just overreacted just a bit as it is a pretty close to my actual name too." As she told him "Wait Rose is your name ?" As that new development that he don't see coming at all now "What ? No ,!! it's not just rose my full name is ruby, as ruby rose nice to met you." As she told him with blush and then with an smile on her face and her hand raised to shake hands with him "Wow, I didn't know I was that amazing… but alright, Rose, I'm just Jaune. Jaune Arc Short, sweet, rolls of the tongue, ladies love it." As he's told her and as he shaked her hand as then she rise her eyebrows at him "wait a minute an't your name luigi just now as that what you told her and me ?" As she asked him as then " No .. I-I actually made up on the spot and it was related to my member family name and it jaune DArc that ladies love it "Do they though ?" As Ruby asked skeptical and curious at the same time " actually.. No as not yet just Though maybe the way how he rolled around on the very floor, laughing, as wasn't the most reassuring sight as many would not like it as his very mother never approved of it and then the rests of the very family just thought of as joke but then again as it has been passed down for some reason now but just forget it I think about it later as he thinking about now.

As for ruby rose this was dramatics experiences and blessing from the above as Upon the very sight of her newfound friend silently staring at a shaking fist and then thinking's like a fishmen with barely constrained fury, Ruby asked, "Hey, are you alright jaune?" As she asked "Ho Never been better," As Jaune answered to her and just sporting a blush of his own under the full realisation of his very situation embarrassment of just having made himself look like an idiot. "Just peachy a bit ....So… you wanna start walking together ?" As he asked her They had to make it into the actual building to become official students, didn't they? And With no better option as she smiled and agreed with the little blonde vomit knight request. "Lead the ways, M,lord." As she bow towards him as she was a real lady of the court as so did jaune like a proper gentleman As then Ruby and Jaune giggled as with each others as both of them side by side as they walked together and just discussing there very hobbies as they walk to the hall

CHANGING LOCATION

FEW MINUTES LATER

POV

"Holy spaghetti As You.. mean you made that thing ?" Jaune was in absolute awe or terror, as he had yet to decide at the sight of a giant farming tool just made to instead cut the heads off Grimm. The duo had walked for around, ten minutes and detouring off of the main pathway inside of the very academy as ruby rose was showing off her weapon she had made and slammed her weapon into the very ground making Jaune flinch back slightly at how large it was and then how's small ruby was compared to its and she's can life it up like it was nothing "Yeah! And It's also a high impact sniper rifle." Ruby stated proudly towards him as her nose can grow as Pinocchio in pried of her creations and it was then Jaune Arc could only compute so much, he was a mere human after all, "So it's a scythe… that's a gun at the same time ?" As he asked to confirmed it

"Yes."

"That's crazy…cool" As this is a first experienced just even thinking a weapon made forming a farming tool and it trun out to be cool... Furthermore for the young blonde lad only knew of one other person to ever use something's as stupidly dangerously as a scythe as a weapon and he secretly hoped they both never met in person ever as he didn't want his first friend to have a cripplingly and unhealthy addiction with it like actually marry the weapon and that was weird for his standard and to any sort of substances because then just that would be way too much of a coincidence now "…as it one thing I don't know and I should.. but why a scythe I mean you have many... choices in weaponer but just why a scythe ?" As he asked her as she looked at him for a moment there's " because it's cool and unique " as then Jaune asked again "But it's ..A scythe ? .....A scythe?! Wait Are you planning on murdering fields of wheat?!" As he question her "What? Noooo…!!!" She didn't sound all too convinced by herself. "As Anyway, his name is Crescent Rose and he's super awesome! What's your weapon?" As jaune contemplated telling his new made friend more than she's needed to know ultimately going against the thought. You never know as when you're going to need to get the very jump on someone. Not that's he planned to give Ruby a nasty surprise or anything, she's seemed way too nice and kind-hearted and as the way she's lost herself talking about weapons was reminiscently of an old friend; he was sure they were going to get along just fine and as that weapon might be concerning matters as just how does it work exactly ?? "Hm…I got this sword." Jaune unsheathed Crocea Mors from her home behind his forearm has pointedly not revealing her shield-half or mecha-shifting any of the tool's on his crooked belt.

"That's… so cool!" As Hold up, what did she just say? Ruby had already holstered Crescent Rose and burst into a coagulations of petal's run a few Circus around as then appearing next to Jaune in less times than he had to blink for a moment. "It's looks like the weight is perfectly balanced across the blade and the edge still seems razor-sharp despite it looking so old! It doesn't even have any sorts of rust or just blemish across the steel! Can I examine it?" As she asked him politely as She could tell all of that from just looking at it ? It was incredible and also all true for him so jaune Arc had to wonder what she just would reveal to him if she's had to opportunity to hold it "Ok Go for it Ruby" As He just allowed and then offering the very hilt to her as Ruby just squealed in delight and as she just snatched the blade from his hands, running her fingers across the smooth metal. "It's so pretty… I swear, it's almost like it has a soul of its own!" As she's told him with star in her eyes as she was glossy "Hah… wouldn't that's be absolutely great, right?" As he told her now as jaune was creep out by that's comment but he appreciates her for respecting his family blade "Yeah, it's not even my precious Crescent Rose has a soul of its own… as unfortunately… that reminds me! What do you call it?" "Her yes Her name is Crocea Mors." As jaune told her very Respectfully as he remembers it correctly as his grandfather mentioned and explains to him about the blade and it little bit history with his family back in the back as she's was examining it as hunches are alright Ruby handed back Crocea Mors and just then swiftly sheathing her as Jaune just then nodded and as then her in thank "She's a family heirloom and it was used by my father and his father's father and as his father before him now it Somewheres along the line, it was used in the Great War to save loads of people and as it was told by my grandparents before give it to me."

"Then that's explains it then weigh and sharpness of the very edges and it's was crafted with rare and very strong metal material to begin with and it's very long and heavyweight but it also very light compare to my weapon and after few swings becomes as even more light now and gotta love the vintage ones eh?" Ruby nudged Jaune's side with her elbow playfully as from this looks of things as it's a very old blade and as it's has just not even sharp end or polish in the slitest as it was made by strong rare type metal material and if she knows where to find it she's might even try to get it herself if have to " but I have one question.. why just choose the sword as you can or just could choose as any others weapon if you want..... why this ?" As ruby asked him "I chose a sword as it the noblest weapon, Ruby You- seriously, I don't understand... We're you trapped in the gardening section?" As jaune Arc told her now "Yeah." As the girl next to him smiled brightly and as Jaune couldn't help but stare into those silver eyes of hers in disabelief "W-what? Wait why are you staering at me Do I have something on my face ?" As she asked him in a bit panic " No it's nothing" As then jaune unconsciously leaned inwards a little bit "As It's just your eyes." As he was unaware of how Ruby tried to lean away with her feet just as still firmly planted on the floor. "They're… interesting now." As jaune caught himself before as he's got any closer to the poor girl's face, as spluttering with red adorning his face. "Gah! Sorry…about that" As jaune replies back realising his mistake just now 'Great job, Jaune Fifteen minutes in and you're already looking like a massive creep !' As he thought and "Naw, we're good…this has happened before and everytime... Everyone said the some thing everytime now my eyes are uniquely and very special as that my dad tell me....It fine" As Jaune just couldn't help but disagree but as thanked ruby internally while simultaneously just has smashing his head against a metaphysical wall and then "So… do you know where we're going now ?" As she asked him and jaune was a bit puzzled a bit by this now a both of them stopped.

"No."

"Wait a minute I was following you!"

As just Surprised at his very new friend's bold word's ruby was offended, "How could you have followed me if I told you to lead the ways?!" As she's just gestured himself tipping an imaginary hat as linking back to his funny line earlier, "Remembers?" As trying to explain to eachother "I don't knows!" As jaune just waved his hands frantically. "W-w-w-wheres are we supposed to go? What if we're late!?" Grabbing her by the hand as Jaune took off at speeds rivalling Ruby's semblance, "Less talk, more run!" The awkward mood didn't last long as which Jaune and ruby was thankful for at the moment now as two pairs of eyes watched them both as he was casually sipping his coffee mug just now.

"Would all new students please report to the central auditorium's!" the voice of Glynda Goodwitch called out from the speakers as it seems like a strict type of teacher and we better get going "Oh, guess we gotta go." Ruby and Jaune stopped for a moment started towards the auditorium in the others side and as he was just amused by the two struggling students now.

POV

But Meanwhile back with Yang as she was just taking pictures with Alice and a couple of her other friends in front of the CCT and discussions some things about motorcycles and others like make-up or boy's in any case when the announcement interrupted. "Oh right, must be orientation." she's scratched the back of her head as everyone started nodded and understand as it was a pain "Right, we should get going then." Alice affirmed as with everyone "Yeah." As Yang started off with her. "I'd hate to be Dis-oriented." Yang snarked. "Yeah, it'd just be a real bummer if we couldn't orient ourselves properly." As Alice added as the two just as has snickered immaturely at their own bad puns now. "But in all seriousness though as I hope you've been training buddy and You're gonna need it for initiation. I hear it's gonna be a sorta field training." Yang warned. "Well, it's a good thing I've just practiced and as have improved my weapon's stability." As she then took a dagger out and spun it around in her hand. "As By the way, are you gonna... check in on your little sister just now ?" As she asked her "Oh? - Yeah of course ! I'm sure she hasn't gotten herself into too much trouble. She claims to not be good in environment's like this, but honestly when she puts her foot forward she can make some good friends." Yang chuckled before the two entered the very auditorium as Yang then saw her little sister with someone that's she just haven't seen before Yang split off from Alix and quickly found Ruby. "Hey!" Yang just then started ran up to her sister now.

"Oh Yang!" Ruby waved as she then turned to Jaune. "Sis, this is jaune my new friend I made." she pointed to him. "Wait a minute Aren't you that's guy that threw up on my shoes ?" Yang asked him now as she's just rise her eyebrows towards him "Why does everyone only talk about that?!..... wait wasthat you!?" As jaune complained and then realised that very moment that he was in trouble deep trouble and like that time as he was trapped in the chicken coup as he had to fight his way through them all and then he was tackled by the family bull eugen the nineteenth as he was chased by it for two days straight without rest and just somehow manage to survived it's warth and this might be a just similar case "Thanks for being a friend to Ruby." Yang smiled towords him as jaune simply was confused as well he just nodded towards " yes- it's my pleasure!!" As he told her and then before as Ruby was suddenly dragged ahead with her big sister so they could get a little closer to the stage now "Hey wait a minute!" As then jaune just groaned. "As Where am I gonna meet another quirky girl ?" he hung his head as he walked by and a red haired girl wearing some armor looked to him curiously and he just started to walke away from them and towards the stage but he was in the corner.

"Ugh, Yang what I'm trying to say is that I exploded !" Ruby stated as both of them discussings "Whoa, got mad already?!" Yang chuckled to herself "No, I mean I literally blew up in an explosion!" As she told her and as Yang didn't believer her "As Are you joking with me sis ?" Yang wasn't taking this too seriously till Weiss stepped forward towards them "YOU !" As this made Ruby jump into her sister's arms now "You why's are you here and you be with your cousin luvi ji ver what ever his name was now as You nearly killed us both!" she scolded her and looked around trying to spot the very boy and instead she's saw was a tall girl with the same colour as the boy but she's had good assets in that department as she wasn't jealous by them and it was then "Oh my God, you really did explode." Yang dropped her sister as the white girl was interrupted by her as then ruby started to wave her hand around in a panic now "I-I apologized! What's your problems with me?!" Ruby argued As then the girl held a pamphlets in front of ruby face now "The Schnee Dust company is not responsible for any injuries sustained As while operating a Schnee Dust company product Although, not the very mandatory a the Schnee Dust Company recommends all users familiarize themselves as with this guide as to how to correctly handle dust." Weiss just held a pamphlets in front of Ruby's face and also seemed has if she's was talking at a million miles per hour or ruby was in dept from the S.D.C now and then it was "Um... What?" Ruby could barely follow. "If you want to start making things up to me now and as then just you read this and pretend like we never met." she tossed the pamphlet at Ruby and as just stormed off to the other side of the very auditorium far away from them as possible Ruby whimpered sadly as Yang put a hand on her shoulder just then as Ozpin just started to stepped onto the stage as with Glynda Goodwitch besides him He cleared his throat, which made every student turn their attention to him."Let me keep this short everyone hello and welcome to beacon" As he started his grand speeches for everyone's here today.

"You all came to this very Academy just in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills and when you finish you wish to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But when I look across this room, I see nothing but wasted energy." he just said as looked towards Ruby specifically. "In need of direction," his eyes glanced up at Weiss. "Purpose." now he looked back to Yang. "As You all just assume knowledge will take you that far, but as in reality you have to be the one to make the first step." he's then looked towards jaune " is the path you choose and it very actions are your consequences but hope is not easily foltered or termination and hard work as In the end will pay off with patience thank you" As then he stepped away from the stage as Glynda stepped up. "As from today You all will rest in the ballroom tonight, tomorrow your initiation will begin." she instructed as the Amphitheater began to clear out as Ruby stopped and looked at Ozpin, whom stood by one of the exits, sipping from his mug before she left with the others.

BALLROOM OF BEACON ACADEMY

POV

In the very ballroom as Ruby was just laid on her very own sleeping bag that given to her by the school now writings in her journal that bought with her from home just before she left for work Yang laughed and jumped onto the sleeping bag next to her sister. "It's like a big slumber party!" As she's told her with excitement just now "I don't think Dad would just approve of the boys though." As Ruby remarked as she was seeing more then several guys were without shirts and flexing their muscles to as which Yang and as then rest of the girls around her responded to with a playful purr. Jaune in his onsie stepped out making as Yang and rest of the girls look away in disgust now and then faced toward her sister direction. "What're ya writing sis ?" As Yang asked her "Just a letter to all my old friends at Signal." she sighed as continue writing "Dawww.....That's just so cuuute give me a hug!" As Yang was about to hug a sister but was stopped as when Ruby threw a corgi pillow in her face now "I didn't get to take my friend's with me like you did, sis!" Ruby pouted. "It's weird not knowing anyone here!" As she explained to her as in the end Yang understand that's but she can't do just anything about it "Well aren't some of my friends like your friends? What about Jaune ?" Yang asked. "He would be an increase to your friend count!" As she's was trying to raise her sister options now "For starters your friends treat me like a child still. So I'd hardly call them normal friends." Ruby scoffed at the thought as he was fine but he can be a friend in a from now and it was then it wouldn't last long "Ouch." Yang frowned.

"And Jaune is fine... As well Weiss doesn't like me, so I'm pretty certain she's a negative friend. Back to 0." Ruby laid on her back and just looking up at the roof. "You can't have Negative friends, Ruby." As Yang just chuckled. "As You made a friend and an enemy!" She was hit with the pillow again. "Look, sis. It's just been a day I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends They're all around you You just haven't met them yet !" As she's told her and then just Nearby the very ballroom black haired girl from earlier approached and a wearing her pajamas which appeared to be a short kimono. She's had a book in hand and a candle in her other. She sat down and started reading a book. " Wait That girl right there." Ruby noted as she stopped doing what's she was doing looked towards her "wait a minute Do you know her ? She's kinda cute." Yang remarked with as Snickers. "Yang bad yang control yourself now !" As then Ruby rosé just then smacked her head. "Ow ok ok sorry, sorry!" Yang whined. "Seriously though, do you know her?" As she's asked her little sister and it was then "I met her this morning after the time I met Weiss and jaune She wasn't mean to me and in fact kinda defended me and jaune against some boy's a little " Ruby explained the most light way as possible now "Well then let's give her a chat!" As that was the very moment she was asking about ' thank you god' As yang started to get up and has then approached her now and dragging Ruby along with her now ruby not wanting to bother her at the moment "ho Hello!~" Yang called out to the girl in black."Yes? Can I help you?" she asked looking up at her direction just now.

"Heh. Hi um..." Ruby seemed nervous and was now glancing back at Yang. "Yang just help me!" As Ruby mouthed to her sister just now as she's just frozen up as Yang grunted. "Um Hi! What's your name?!" Yang asked "Blake." she deadpanned and flipped a page of her book now as she figured out where this is coming now "Um, I just wanted to thank you for sticking up for my sister, Ruby !" As she shoved Ruby in front of her

"It's nothing really." As then Blake just looked back to her book and a dead silence lingered in the air. "Yeah, she's a total lost cause." Yang whispered to her sister before looking at her. "I like your bow and as it's goes great with your.....Pajamas!" As she told her "Thank you." she sounded irritated now for some reason and then "Today just wasn't a bad first day, right ?" As she Yang and just asked as she was feeling something's was a miss now "Yes, today was almost has good as this book. Which I'm enjoying that I'd like to continue reading." As she's focused on her book once again.

"What's it about ?" As Ruby asked her about it as well she was curious about it herself "Oh?" Blake seemed a little interested in ruby as her very little bow would a notably twitch slightly and something's Yang saw but decided to keep to herself for the moment " As just for Your book what are you reading ?" Ruby pressed now "Oh, it's about a man with two souls and fighting for control over his body." As Blake just explained to her as she then continued reading her book "Gee if that's doesn't remind me of anything." Yang rolled her eyes, a slight glanced in Alice's very direction as she's was chuckling at a video on his scroll. She's just mouthed the word 'The Rusted knight' in his general direction as everyone knows about his obsession over him as and then that story another time "That sounds cool. I like to read a lot too as A lot of fairy tales and stories." Ruby smiled as was remembering her two of his very favourite tales now "The Warrior in the Woods" or the one " The girl fall from world" as she remembers just what her parents always told her those stories before going to bed time every night till mom never did come back from her mission and as Dad still holder and told both the stories to her and Yang before going to bed.

"Why? Are you so hoping.. to live happily ever after ?" Blake asked her in a strange way has Yang picked up but decided to let it go "Well.. I'm hoping we all will at some point As a little girl I've always wanted to be like those heroes in the books and fight for as what's right from the beginning And also fight to help those who's can't help themselves." Ruby explained her dream as even her very desire to achieve has a Huntress when she officially becomes one day "But life just isn't like a fairy tale." As Blake told her try to convince her that it is not as simple to begin with"wait isn't that....just well that's why we're here, isn't it ? To make the very world a better place for everyone." As another voice just as interupted as all of the three girls locked behind them and saw jaune as well he was on the ground and that he was being try to way by some boys by his legs has then they dumped him Nearby the toilets and as then started to laugh towards him and before returning for there very beds as three girls watch his Miss fortune and then "Oh I'm so happy you made a friend !" Yang hugged Ruby, picking her up, which resulted in Ruby punching Yang to make her let go. The two got into a bit of a scuffle now, with Ruby grabbing a large pillow from as someone else's sleeping bag and smacking Yang over the face with it repeatly like a M2 Yang on the other hand kept trying to hug Ruby, but Ruby kept resisting. Blake could only stifle a slight laugh at this interaction between the two sisters as all and she just that's smile at the blonde boy comment before as he was dragged away from them but he was right and as with this girl ruby yes this is why reason they are here to make a difference that's what a huntsman is about.

"Ruby and Yang was it has it's a nice to have met you two." Blake smiled towards them both Yang smirked. "The pleasure is all-" Yang was cut short when Weiss, wearing a nightgown stormed over, her face looking redder by the moment like she was about to explode in anger. "Are you two hooligans the ones making all this noise again?!" As she asked them and then she started to scold them As she's was really was started to stomped her foot on the ground in frustration while they all looked towards her "NOT YOU AGAIN!" Yang and Weiss glared at each other now "Shh guys as we should try and keep it down!" Ruby insisted and then someone else just walked by them " true guys just as reminder that everyone's is trying to sleep here" As it was jaune as he somehow managed to escape toilet and made it back without a stench or anything of it as well it was quite good thinking's on his part now " hey that my/ her line !!!!" As she's was glaring toward him now and it was then towards ruby again "On my side now, are we?" Weiss crossed her arms "I was always on your side, Ice Queen." Ruby glared at her " wait I would prefer calling her snow angel " As he's told and then all three of the girls glared towards her " not the time cousin" As ruby told him " so I will- then have fun then bye!!" As he run away from them all towards the edge of the ballroom now where's his bed was "Yeah, what's your problem with My sister ?! she just wants to make a friend!" As Yang argued towards Weiss as then "She's a hazard to everyone's health and with her cousin of your !" As Weiss glared at Ruby again.

As Blake sighed and as doing one last favor, blew her candle out, leaving the room in total darkness now as the only thing that was shining was screen of a scroll

As Alice just snickered a little at a dumb video as she was watching, Jaune was glancing over his shoulder and trying to hold back laughter as well. It's was from earlier with Ruby and Weiss's ridiculous argument in the courtyard, someone had recorded it. "I gotta send this to Yang tomorrow..." he closed his scroll to going to bed and so did jaune as it's been a haptic long day and can't wait for the exam to begin now and start his little journey but he never realise that it already have.

NEXT MORNING

POV

The next morning came to the Academy hall and the first thing one student would see upon waking up is a girl with short orange hair and bright green eyes and a generally bubbly disposition "GOOD MORNING !" As then as she just transported herself somehow on the very academy very own balcony and she's then clear her throat and as then she started to look towards the sun and the people that were walking around the area "GOOD MORNING MY NEIGHBOURS !!!! ! " As she announced herself as she excitedly exclaimed as the student she was talking to in question had long black hair, pink eyes and had a seemingly more composed demeanors about himself. "It's Morning, it's Morning, it's Morning ITS MORNING!!!" As the hyperactive girl exclaimed as while going around the boy whom was merely goings about his very morning routines which included brushing his teeth and eating breakfast and doing weapon maintenance before the day starts as then she came"We've been together for so long! But not together together!!!" As then the girl just laughed.

"Oh so do you think ...we'll be on the very same team together?! I hope we will! I hear the teams are chosen during initiation!" As the girl explained in excitements "We should have a special call to ensure we become teammates! What if...What if...We made sloth noises together to find each other ?!" As she said "Nora." the boy interjected. "I don't think sloths just make a lot of noise." As he told her "Exactly, Ren ! That's why's it's perfect! We'll be on the same team together! But not 'Together Together'." Nora laughed while followings behind Ren as for Jaune himself was panicking while fumbling around the halls. "Oh what am I gonna do?! I don't know which locker has my stuff in it now ?!" he panicked before stumbling into another student. "Oh sorry!" As he apologized to the imposing male before him. He had brown hair and looked pretty well built for someone that was a first year." As just Watch where's you're going." he threatened him as he's was just bit tall for jaune and mean looking "I am S-Sorry!" Jaune just apologized as stumbling backwards, accidentally bumpings into Alice as whom was just about to open his locker. "Seriously dude ?" Alice just groaned and stood himself up before Jaune got himself up off the ground as both of the men just started to look toward him as nuisance "Finally I can show them what I can do!" Ruby took her weapon out of her locker eagerly.

"Someone's eager to get into the field." Yang smiled towords her little sister "I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends here !" As she told her as ruby had other ideas for her life "Ugh, sis I just wanna fight monsters I don't need friends." Ruby rolled her eyes as she was taking out her equipment form her locker now "Well.... you're gonna wind up on a team with someone so you better hope you find someone who you can get along with." As Yang chuckled to herself as she'd was now doing the same taking out her equipments form her locker as tested them on her Ember Celica as They're are a pair of Dual Ranged Shotgun Gauntlets (DRSG) has just in name "Well why don't I just be on your team?" the younger sister stated as she straighten up her red clock "Um.... How about no? As you can try being on someone else's team? Maybe Jaune's team?" Yang offered her sister for once now "Yang Xiao Long, are you telling me that's you just don't want to be on my teams ?!" Ruby gasped as pretending to be offended.

"Well I mean, I'm not, but like it could be a just better growing experience for you to not be around your big sister 24/7 ya know?" Ruby grumbled in annoyance. But then Down the halls Weiss was talking with a red haired girl, she's seemed to be built like an athlete at that now ."So.. Pyrrha are you looking for any kind of potential members of your team now ?" Weiss asked eagerly towards her "None as far as I'm aware. Also I do believe we're not getting much a say in the matter of team selection." she explained to her as she's was really feeling awkward around her now as It was then that Jaune as whom had the locker next to Pyrrha's closed his locker and interjected. "Well, how's about you be on my team Snow Angel now ?" he's winked towards her and ignored the other girl presence now

Weiss scoffed. "As if I'd ever be on a team with you !" she turned away in disgust from him "I wouldn't mind being in your team!" Pyrrha smiled in a friendly tone. "Oh? And who might you be?" Jaune asked her as he saw a tall and another pretty girl and as she's was red head on top of that's " wait a minute do You mean you don't knows me at all ?" As Pyrrha was just genuinely surprised she wasn't recognized at all and that's was new for her "Wait You just.... !!! ?You really don't know who she is?!" Weiss interjected now. "Pyrrha Nikos, a young and upcoming prodigy now ? She's won over 4 tournaments in Mistral and as she's made a name for herself as a public figure for women!" Weiss stomped her foot down "Um..... Does not ring much of a bell to me." Jaune just looked at them like fish as shook his head. "As There's a lot of tournaments in Anima and Arcade as I don't really watch them...or like them " as he told them both honestly as possible As she's was really was started to stomped her foot on the ground in frustration while Pyrrha was more surprised by this development now "She on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Cereal box you dunce!" she stomped her foot on the ground for the last time now "Wait.....A minute That's you ?!" Jaune finally put two and two together. "They only do that's just sort of thing for mascots and athletes!" As jaune started to remember that and the day his mother brought it home for the first time now "Yeah, it's a shame the cereal isn't that good for you." Pyrrha shook her head in shame "Well the offer to join my team still stands." he's held his hand out towards her as well "Well I for one don't encourage this type of behavior." Weiss stated herself as she didn't like the idea of him with her at all that thought makes her just sick now "I'd love to !" As Pyrrha smiled to his offer as just seemingly playing along with him for the moment

"Are you kidding me?! You shouldn't be encouraging him!" As she started stomped her foot on the ground and thought of her "Oh stop it..." Jaune blushed and looked away like he's was embarrassed by this and it was "Seriously stop." As Weiss's eye twitched before a javelin fly through the air suddenly hit jaune and just pin him just down on the wall now "SORRY!" Pyrrha apologized towards him "Would all students please report to Beacon Cliff for Initiation." As Glynda voice announced beamed through the speakers in the hall

"Ow..." Jaune groaned, trying to get the javelin out of his hood. "I don't get it? Dad says all women look for is confidence...." As he question himself at the very moment "Snow angel probably wasn't a good start." Yang snickered herself as she's loves looking at the comedy scene in front of her as he was a idiot at that

"Yeah buddy, you know there's more to it than that." Alice added as she walked ahead of the two sisters while Pyrrha took the Javelin from where it was stuck and then Jaune was able to get up as he's tired to as he was going to fall down again but ruby stayed back and grabbed him and helped him up and both of them started to move toward the prime location of the very examines as at least as both of both have each other.

EMERALD FOREST

POV

Everyone from students from teachers now stood at Beacon cliff, as which stood tall and overlooking the entire Emerald Forest till it's edges as it was just has connected to the wall "Everyone's please Step onto the platforms." Ozpin instructed as all the students, a few reluctant and stepped onto the platform that had Beacon's logo. "Today you will be tested for skill. You will be thrown into a forest with an objective as Now I can assure you that there are no Grimms out in these woods as we had several Huntsman's clear them out just for this has There's will however still be obstacles around the forest such as traps left around from long ago and then it normal wildlife It's is up to you to find the temple where's the very relics will be held now as then please remember as Make no mistake, there is a viable chance for you to die in theses woods but then as you all have signed the agreement that just comes with your Beacon Scholarship.... And as We are not accountable for any injuries that may incur during this initiation. As we trust that you've trained enough took the entrance exam and are just prepared for what this work entails." As Ozpin told as explain to everyone as here the dangerous of being a Huntsman as ruby just rolled her eyes a little. "Now then and just on to other matters to end one final misconception as You will be paired with a partners here." Ozpin started Ruby and jaune just eyes went wide. "Wait ....W-What?!" As that was surprise "The first person you make eye contact with upon landing will be your allotted partner for the next four years of your time at Beacon And don't think you can cheat the system by picking someone's else. We have ways of knowings." Ozpin sipped his coffee.

"WHAT?!" Ruby didn't want to believe this at all."I told you!" Nora chuckled to Ren as he sighed at this and it was not over yet "Now that's we are all done here with your very briefing it is time to start We trust's that you are all prepared with your landing strategies." As then Ozpin informs the students "Landing what now ?" As Jaune was confused by that treatment "You all will be falling fast and hard." Ozpin explained as he sips his coffee mug "Oh... Uh..." As Jaune saw a few students start to get launched from theirs platforms. "Are we.... gonna get a parachute ?" As then trying understand situation better "No... you have to use your very own methods." Ozpin stated as Yang smirked to her sister before turning to Alice and as then putting on a pair of aviators before she was launched off the cliff now has well "Showoff." Alice just rolled her eye before getting launched as well after her Ruby smirked to Jaune and was launched as well now "W-What do you mean? As Professor Ozpin what's a landing Strategeeeeeeee-!" Jaune was launched from the cliff last Ozpin smirked with as smug look of satisfaction that just would only scream 'Damn, I love this job sometimes' before he took a sip from his mug and then he realised and just remember something else 'wait a minute was that..... Richards grandson just now..' As he siped his mug as 'well who cares I will send a letter ' As he told himself.

A small bird flew over the Emerald forest before a red blur suddenly hit it. "BIRDIE NO!" As Ruby exclaimed before transforming her weapons into it's sniper form and firing shots off, downward in an attempts to slow her momentum. As She's eventually transformed her weapon into as it's scythe form and hooked it onto a large tree branch that's she's was able to spin around the area as Weiss on the others hand was gracefully landing on glyphs and as moving from glyph to glyph before descending into the forest, near as where she assumed was the temple. The roof of the forest made it hard to see anything below it, likely on purposes so students like her just couldn't aim for the temple right away as Yang laughed and cheered while launching herself through the air, using her gauntlets. As When suddenly Alice breezed past her as yawning a little at her, and while riding on his daggers in their combined form like they were a skateboard, using Wind dust to keep his speed up She's glared a little and then flung herself even further ahead as while Alice let up on his dust usage as he still needed some for as what's was to come and started to slow himself down as landing quite a ways back from where Yang landed as sliding into the ground on his daggers as before hopping off them as kicking them up into the air which separated them and it has then catching as just them both now walking forward as Yang landed on the ground with a roll. "Nailed it!" As she laughed before starting to look around, wondering if she maybe outran Alice by now but then she's just heard Jaune screamed and flailing around before a Javelin suddenly hit him out of the air and impaled his hoodie on a tree "Thank you!" As he exclaimed as then Pyrrha on the other hand had dove through several trees, landing onto a branch and then aiming her javelin at the falling Jaune as She's threw it right at him and hit her mark. "SORRY!" she called out towards him but then in other places Ruby landed on the ground and as looked around before frantically sprinting forward. "Gotta find Yang, gotta find Yang!" she panicked now as she's started to run in the forest as she was searching for her sister as that's might be safe bet "Okay, okay Ruby Think about your backups. Well there's always Jaune, he's nice. But I don't think he'd fare that good in a fight...What about Alice?! She knows you and your sister! Oh but he'll patronize me too much like Yang does and it's even worse because she is her sister best friend" Ruby grumbled internally at the thought "Blake maybe? As Nah... I doubt I'd be able to hold a chat with her. Who else have I met..." it was then that Ruby suddenly found her answer and not a moment too soon as a then feral wolf leaped at Weiss from behind just as she had stabbed through one of them with Myrtenaster. Ruby fired a shot at it and the two made eye contact while the wolf dropped to the ground and then another one comes to instead

As Weiss just then scoffed at Ruby and turned aways walking off. "You're not even gonna thank me?!" Ruby stomped her foot down. "Wait We're just supposed to be partners!" she followed her as she kept on walking down the road as then she heard something as Weiss looked up and saw Jaune who's was pinned down on to the tree. "Oh! Hey! Help me out here!" Jaune held his hand out towards her...As his Saviour in a way but in reality she had other plans in her mind and choices

"..."

Are you... going to help me or.... not snow angel ?"

As then Weiss just turned away and grabbed Ruby by the hood. "By no means does this make us friend's." As she started to dragger her away from that thing in mind "You came back!" As ruby exclaimed happily as she's was dragged off by weiss as she's can deal with her and not that's unacractive creature As the two left Pyrrha walked up and looked up at Jaune as crossing her arms with a smirk. "So Need a hand now ?" she's asked him as then both of them smiled towards each other now as it was starting of something new and as then honestly and great story for the future just now.

CHANGING LOCATION

POV

As Alice walked for what felt like forever"Yang ?!" She called out as hoping to find her, but had no such luck. "Dammit. i shouldn't have egged her on. Now What's am I gonna do?" It was then that she heard the roar of a vicious animal in the distance as then she's started

sprinted forward and saw an unexpectedly sight A girl hanging by her foot from a tree. Her hair was blue her eyes a deep yellow and her skin was fairly pale. It was hard to tell because the fact as she was upside down. But her hair was done up in a short ponytail She wore a bulky blue turtleneck jacket along with a short black skirt that was worn over a pair of black shorts as She seemed to be stuck to the tree by her foot as Her boot notably had a blade coming out of it that's Alice could only assume was a weapon and Without a moment's hesitation Alice was up at the tree and offered a hand.

As She's took his hand and corrected herself. "I could have landed myself neater." the girl groaned, looking down and noticing as that the large feral badger bear she's just had attracted was growling. "So You got a name then ?" Alice asked her."Erika's." she's stated. "I'm Alice" she smiled to her now before the two then leaped off the tree and at the badger bear as well then Back with Ruby and Weiss the two didn't seem to be hitting thing's off too well. "i know we didn't get along at first." As Ruby frowned. "But I can assure you, I'm a totally different person out in the field!" As she's just zipped around her in a flash "I can hardly tell the very difference." weiss rolled her eyes " As Look you're not exactly speeding this up." As she's told her "You want me to go fast?! I can go fast!" Ruby vanished in a blur of rose petals and then repear again Infront of her and then "You might be fast but then you're still excelling at wasting time!" she's just sighed as she's continued through, her rapier still in hand and as not noticing the shadow looming behind her. "Ruby?" she asked. The eyes of this shadow glowed red as Weiss was turning to face it now. They notably just had odd markings on them as Weiss's eyes went wide. "RUBY!" she called out now as the Shadows snarled and moved from the bush it was hiding in as Weiss blocked a swipe from a Beowulf's as she's just ran right into a clearing before turning around and steadying herself She hadn't ever encountered a real creature of Grimm like this before, and just from that one hit she blocked as she felt that this was far more vicious than anything she's had ran into before. But then she's wasn't about to back down because of this oversight has In fact, this would be an excellent chance for her to prove herself as worthy of being a team leader. If she were to slay a creature of Grimm that had invaded the initiation she'd no doubt be recognized for that's achievement alone just now.

"Left foot forward.... No..... Not that's forward." Weiss muttered under her very breath... "As Just wait for an opening... NOW!" As Weiss just charged forward, but unfortunately was cut off in her attack has when ruby appeared in front of her suddenly and as reared up to swing as the two just crashed into each other and the Beowolf snarled before swiping at them as Ruby just thinking fast, grabbed Weiss and the two sped away in a blur of white and as red while the Beowolf merely howled but then smelled some others potential prey off in a different directions. "What was that's?!" Ruby whined at weiss who's merely huffed and walked off ahead of her. "What's was that?! As You nearly got us killed with your stupid antics!" Weiss stomped as she glared at Ruby. "What's a child like you doing at very Beacon anyways now ?!" As she said to her " Well in the first place just maybe if your sense of directions is was better as we wouldn't be lost right now!" As Ruby snapped back at Weiss and cuttings down a tree with Crescent Rose in rage as she followed behind Weiss before the very pair stopped just suddenly. I-Is that a Nevermore nest?" As weiss asked "it would seem like it." Ruby now brandished her scythe" As weve clearly gone the wrong way. Let's leave before it wakes up. I would not want to end up on the wrong side of that's giant Nevermore's beak" As Weiss slowly took a step back as it's eye opened from dust that flew towards it from the tree as Ruby had previously chopped down.

"Uh oh..." Ruby just then glanced at weiss just who's was just looked as alarmed as her. As Yang started to look around the Forest. "Ruby!" she called out for her sister. "Alice?!" she's just also didn't mind the idea of partnering up with him. "Ruby?" Yang peered over a bush but a Badger bear just lunged at her instead as it was minding it own business "Nope." As She's then chuckled as while dodging a couples of more swipes from it now "Jeez !!, is that all ya got ? As You couldn't hit the broadside of a-" everything suddenly went red for Yang as it would feel as though all time stopped for the girl as a single strand of her hair fell to the ground. "YOU MONSTER!" As Yang just screamed as before unleashing a flurry of punches at it very direction now. ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORAA!" Yang yelled out as the last one sent the badger bear flying through the foliage and as Just as another one appeared right behind her. "YOU WANNA GO TOO HUH?!" however, a stab would be heard behinds it's back as it fell down and as kusarigama attached to a ribbon flew from it's back and into the hands of Blake Belladonna who offered a bit of a smirk towards Yang, who's eyes turned from red to theirs normal lilac now

"Partners ?" Yang asked her"Yep." Blake nodded and continued ahead of Yang quietly behind her just now.

CHANGING LOCATION

POV

One rough landing or being pinned to the followed by catching his breath from his jewels getting battered by foliage later as he's wasn't like didn't have a plan in mind but he felt as ready as he's could be now but He looked around as he was still pinned to the tree but it was for not long as he did saw that snow angel before but she straight up abandoned him in a heartbeat and then he was there for the moments until as he heard a voice and it was that girl from earlier that red head as what was her name again I will ask her later as there's were no landmarks just visible through the trees. But Jaune didn't worry, if there was one thing he got good at over the few months by now and as it was surviving in unknowns locations by now with his elders training in mind A forest filled with Grimm and Huntsman and Huntress hopefuls sounded like a holiday. Compared to some of the places he's just had the displeasure of exploring as Atlas during winter was a really bad idea.

But then after his partner just left him all of suddenly as she's heard something's in the forest area and left him for a while now but he not going to stay here and be Grimm food not again First things first. He needed to find his partner and a two sets of eye's had a better chances of spotting Grimm after all as That's when a pack of Beowolves very quickly put the kibosh on that particular plan. As there weren't many, maybe 8 to 10 if jaune counted correctly and nothing to worry about. With a level of calm unseen at his age as he's knows that he needs to calm to achieve his goals as he just pull out the javelin from his hoodie and then dropped down from his tree now and he just looked around his very own surroundings area as jaune Arc unsheathed Crocea Mors and held it firmly in his right hand as the tip of the blade angled towards the ground at his side. The shield just remained in its sheath form. Beowulf's were better dealt with speed and strength, rather than a solid defense and As at least in jaune's experienced opinion and as Hiding behind a shield simply allowed the pack monsters to surround you. Attacking swiftly prevented that's as then Something's jaune began to demonstrate with confidence, he darted towards the closest Grimm and just cleaved its head off before it could react and it's Crocea Mors spraying the tar like substance of the Grimm as across the nearby foliage. He's managed to decapitate another Beowolf before the pack could act as Two down, keep up the attack!

He's charged the third one, his head ducked a deadly claw as he shoulder charged as the attacking Grimm. The distance he's pushed it away, allowed for Crocea Mors to bifurcate it at the waist and The two separate halves dissolved into black mists and as The hopeful knight dodged back as another Grimm attempted to cut his throat jaune responded in kind as the gasping wounds on the Grimm's neck a signal of it's demised and that's just made four, and in less than a minute's. He could clearly see four more Beowolfs as The fifth Grimm just then pounced at him as Jaune stepped to the side and just watched as the beast smacked into a tree and he just helped the tree finish the Grimm by skewering it through the head. The sixth and seventh tried to double-team him a sound very strategy for the Grimm Especially for Beowolfs; strength in numbers. Unfortunately for them as jaune just then knew more about Grimm's very actions than most people's as he taught by his family inspectors how to survives in the wild and many different types of things from different Grimm's that's he should and shouldn't encounter in wild and many things that's are related towards them and charged at the pouncing pair and slid underneath them he swinging Crocea Mors violently as he's went Two dying Grimm bodies tumbled onto the ground as theirs a undersides carved like slaughterhouse meat as jaune pushed out of the slide into a dash toward as the final Grimm he ducked a reflexive claw swipe, and simply slashed diagonally through the Beowolf. And the ninth Grimm faded into mists and The blond teen analysed his impromptu arena, he had yet to sheathe his blade and as Something was not right in his mind.

Did I imagine a tenth…

The Beowolf that leapt from the trees was very much not imaginary. Nor was the bullet that snapped as it's head to the side as it fell to the grounds; dead. Jaune whirled around to see the smoking barrel of a rifle as held by the Spartan-like Redhead and as She wore a brownish over-bust corset with gold trimmings and a mini-skirt with black trimmings and as sash wrapped around her waist as lower down were bronze greaves with breathable boots on her feets and jaune couldn't decide what the combat practicality of bare shoulders allowed. But his clothes couldn't really be classed as armour themselves and He's sheathed his sword and walked over. "Thanks for the assist! I knew there was a tenth one" As girl justsmiled brightly as she hopped over a fallen tree, she's holstered the rifle against her shoulder and extended a hand as he finally found his partner or she found him again but in the end as they both just have each other as that just was more than enough "I was glad to help again !" Jaune clasped the hand, "I guess that means we're partners now ?" The redhead smiled widely as a twinkle in her green eyes.

"It definitely does!" Pyrrha watched as the handsome teen shook her hand, and couldn't help the feeling of giddy relief from welling inside her and She had been simultaneously a frustrated and just impressed when the boy hold out long enough without her presence's and impression was definitely wasted but she just did pen him to the tree but then he's later manage to pull out her Miló and Akoúo̱ Without her Polarity and it is a bit confirmed that's he is quite strong for himself and he was agile she would've been worried about finding her weapons if he had throw it But she's was a brave girl and readjusted her plans as landed on the ground and made a dead sprint towards his directions She's had just arrived to watch Jaune absolutely decimate the pack of Beowolfs in less than a minute as she just wants to dispose of them before she's lets him down as She had been impressed by how little excess very energy Jaune wasted in his attacks. A commonly trait in inexperienced fighters as Pyrrha had seen it a lot in her time But it just wasn't as the teens combat skill or handsomeness that's made him her needed partner. No it's was when she's introduced herself." As we did not have a chance to introduce ourselves properly as before." As she's just took a deep breath and took the proverbial plunge. "My name is Pyrrha Nikos, it's nice to meet you!" And as when the teen didn't react to her name at all, and as merely introduced himself in kind. "Hi Pyrrha and name is Jaune Arc Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it." As she's then started to laugh at him " do they" As she asked him " no.....but it a worth the short" As he told her with a smile "I'm glad we can talk without another person screaming at me", he joked. Pyrrha knew she had hit the jackpot, Jaune did not recognise her, not at all. No fake not knowings her name or to pretending to act cool in her presence. As her partner is just genuinely had no clue who she's was! Best day ever! As she cheered internally herself.

"So uh… we just should probably go find one of these Relics Yeah?" As Jaune's voice broke her reverie and she nodded vigorously to hide her blush. "Yes let's do you have any idea which way we should go?" As She watched as Jaune glanced around " Well, the Grimm came from there". As He pointed towards a section of the forests. "And I'd guess any relic's would be closer to the Grimm then away from them?" Pyrrha nodded along with his reasoning, there would be little point of the test and if the Relics were far away from potential dangers Would really defeat the point of a Huntsman/Huntress initiation exam. "So I did figure we just head that way, and I'll hopefully be able to spot as anything out of place in a forest like this." Pyrrha tilted her head in curiosity, "do you have much experience in forests, Jaune ?" He just smiled at her, his facial scar, curving upwards due to his lips." Yes actually I've got nothing but experience in forests like this". And wasn't that a curious statement in itself as his family had sure that he knows very things about the very location and that it's very habitat that inabitated that place and how to just survive on his own now as He walked off, Pyrrha strode next to him. She hadn't stopped smiling since they met as she's had really hit the jackpot it seemed.

Elsewhere in the Forest it seemed as though Ren just had found himself caught by a large constrictor snake that had disarmed him of his weapon's. "Aura is very essentially our souls made visible. It protects us with a barrier. All living things have it." As the constrictors snake moved to bite at Ren's head, but it's teeth were halted by his free hand as his very aura as seemingly was repelling it back forcing it to let go of him allowing him to catch his breath. "All living things" "Yes, that's would include the animals we've been encountering in this forest and it However, that doesn't include the Grimm. For they lack souls. They are the darkness to our light." Ren just picked up his bladed pistols off the ground and ran at the constrictor snake and while it's hissed at him firing at it. "It's a little more complicated then that I'd be glad to tell you more after initiations." Pyrrha chuckled a little. "But for now." she's took his hand and held one of her very hands to his chest now. "For it is in passing that's we just achieve immortality Through this as we become a paragons of virtue and glory to rise above all and it very Infinitely in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee" As Lie Ren took a deep breath as the snake was dead now before just suddenly he's heard something's from right above him in the trees. "PEERAW! PEERAW!" called out what's would seem to be a strange animal as till Nora descended from a tree now hanging upside down in front of Ren as with her usual goofy smile. "I still.... don't think that's what Sloths sounds like." Ren just smiled back to her now. "Boop." Nora poked his nose with a giggle together.

FLASHBACK

As sixteen old boy as took a deep breath as the cold and with firm wooden hilt of his very practices sword as pressed against his palm as he's brought it before his eyes as he's started to swing in front of him as he just kept on repeating and preparing his very strikes in a porticolor manner "Now, just as I taught you." As his grandfather stood in the corners or side of the tree as he just watched over his grandchild progress and it's was then Jaune brought his hand to the flat of the blade, closing his eyes as he tried to feel for his Aura. He found it – as it was always there – and as let it flow through his fingertip the way she had described now.

"You're doing it!" As Opening his eyes, there was dull white glow surrounding his hand as jaune smiled has he ran it down the very flat of the wooden edge and it then further as He then pulled his hand away, and the shape remained"Quickly now before it fades !" As the voice urged on and the young blond turned, swinging the sword in a broad sweep. The white glow faded as the edge cut through the air, and the practices sword met the tree with a loud, jarring thump Jaune scowled as he rubbed his sore shoulder, looking at the tiny cut he'd managed to make with the practice sword As He brushed his fingers against the wooden blade again, but this time there was no dull glow…not even a flicker of light. As the boy as shoved the point of the wooden sword into the dirt with a scoff. "This is very hard." As he told them as he was tired by now "It is," the boy felt a hand on his shoulder, "but as you're so close. If you can learn how to do this as you'll be able to fight off at least a few Beowolf" As his very grandfather told him.

"A few Beowolves won't get me into beacon or to my very goals in the end ." He turned, looking up into the his grandfather eyes. "I'll catch up to you all, just you watch and I just need your blessings grandfather." As he told him as he then continued doing his training as well not knowing as what is future holds for him now.
