Volume 1 {Chapter 4: Classes}
Waking up in the morning is a blessing and a curse, especially to those who are tired. It's a blessing because you can feel your body getting ready to move those bones and feel reinvigorated for the day. And a curse because after that, you feel drowsy and immediately go back to sleep and dwell at the moment longer.
Truly, a curse. "I hate mornings." And a blessing.
Y/N had already walked to the bathroom to get ready for the day, eyes to the ground and slouched. He wanted to go back to sleep, to feel so comfy and warm but when he checked his clock, things were already in motion. It was 6 in the morning already and Y/N was too tired to deal with it.
His plan for the day is simple enough; go to classes, use the lunch to get a new weapon by Peach and effortlessly wreck anyone who wants to challenge him in combat classes.
Opening the door, Y/N got his change of clothes and went inside. The sound of water gushing out of an outlet filled his spacious room and he bathed in silence.

15 minutes have passed as Y/N got out of the restroom, wearing a white shirt and black slacks, putting a towel around his shoulders Y/N went to his computer to do a check on his {Inventory}.
Last night, Y/N was too tired to check on his personal computer by Ozpin so now he wanted to see every feature it has. He was surprised when he saw the {Menu} and {System} on it so maybe it decided to familiarize itself with the machine for the user. One question on his mind was, 'Can someone intentionally see it?' The {Gamer} ability may let him see the pop-ups and are mostly mental so what if someone saw these pop-ups? No one knows what they mean and Y/N is the only one who can access them but that doesn't mean they can see what are on the monitors so Y/N will have to be careful when using it.
{INVENTORY}
$100,000
{[Charge]}, {[Focus]}, {[Heat Riser}]
16 Skill Point
(Blueprint)
[Soma x2], [Bead x3], {Life Stone x4}, {Balm of Life x2}

<Megidola>, <Primal Force>, <Deathbound>, <Tempest Slash>
{Maragi x2}, {Mazio x2}, {Mabufu x4}
Z-Target, Enduring Soul, Apt Pupil
Steel Armour, Wooden Armor
Y/N sometimes wonder why he has such good loot from the various battles he did but let it slide, if it lets him become stronger then he will take all the help he can get. Seeing the skill card {Megidola}, Y/N instantly learned it so that he can see the {Grimoire} that was in his {Inventory} for quite some time. He could just use it but found he can't since he was still weak and not to mention it takes about 85% of his Mana to cast {Megido} so he can't really complain. The {Grimoire} to Y/N, was a mysterious existence that suddenly appeared in his arsenal. Y/N thought it was something he collected along the way but he had suspicioned it was the God of- You know what, we'll just call them GOD (God of Darkness) and GOL (God of Light)- GOD's doing.
Y/N checked at his clock, 6:45, and nodded at the early morning. Closing the window, Y/N checked around the features of his new computer before going to classes. So far, he has found out he had not 1, not 2 but 4 holographic monitors at the same time. This would be good for multitasking on various projects or assignments Y/N may encounter or that Ozpin really wanted Y/N to forgive him. Y/N found an uppercase 'V' on the lower left side and clicked on it when it opened to the web. He thought it was the icon for the internet and scrolled around the various news article.
"White Fang attacks, New Weapon designs, Atlas Politicians whining... Huntsman-In-Training defeated an Elder Grimm singlehandedly?" When he clicked on the lick, he was then brought to a website for viewing videos online. A Remnant version of YouTube.
The screen came to life as it showed him a 3rd POV of him battling the Elder Beringal alone with tones of Grimm at its side. It even showed him where he finished the battle where he killed the Grimm in a dramatic pose. When he checked who uploaded the video, it showed to be the official account of Beacon. Groaning, Y/N thought this was the Council's doing for showing others the superiority of Vale and its students while also keeping in power.
Fuc**ng Beurocrats...
Turning to the left, he saw his desk and the uniform all neatly folded and a tie on top of it. "Better get used to seeing that."
Putting on the tie, Y/N checked himself at a nearby mirror. "Not the worst... still, I wonder where does all the laundry go?" Y/N can guess either at the Common Room or a specific location in Beacon.
Adjusting his tie, Y/N glanced at Creed beside the computer. Y/N didn't even do maintenance on it and felt awful about it. He knew Creed was useful and needed for the fight and after the fight, he never thought about it.
{OBSERVE}
NAME: Adept-Dust Gaunlet {Creed}
DURABILITY: 1968/10000
Cringing at the low numbers, Y/N got his Scroll and called a certain professor.
-Hello?
-Professor Peach?
-Who is this? And how did you get this number?
-It's me, Y/N.
A few crashes were heard and a couple of screaming later...
-Y-Y/N-N, Wh-Why are you c-c-calling me at this time? Don't you have classes?
-I do so I'm going to make this quick.
-O-Oh, I-I didn't you were so eager.
-That is not what I'm talking about. Look, Creed is heavily damaged so I'm coming by the Workshop to fix it. I also need new weapons since my old ones were destroyed.
-... I see... I'll get the forge up and running.
-Thanks, Professor Peach. I owe you.
And with that, Y/N ended the call. He put Creed in his {Inventory} for safekeeping and decided to get to class early.
Just as he opened the door, Y/N heard a very loud screeching on the other side of his door. When it stopped, Y/N locked his dorm with his Scroll. He took a step forward to the dorm and knocked on it a few times.
A few shuffling and whispers, the door opened. "Morning neigh- Y/N?"
"Ruby?"
Both teens asked as Y/N looked over at Ruby and her team.
"Uh, morning." Y/N said. "So, you are my neighbor." He awkwardly shuffled his feet since Y/N had yet to do something like this back then,
"Y-Yeah..." Ruby replied with a faint blush on your face.
"Hey there, handsome," Yang interjected. She eyed Y/N and a grin was sprouting on her face. "You definitely pull off that uniform."
"You think so, It may be a bit tight." Rolling his shoulder, Y/N faked his concern to RWBY. The uniform was snug and fit good on Y/N.
"Excuse me..." Weiss interrupted their conversation since she is tapping her feet. "But others have to start organizing their stuff." Then she grabbed her bag and went to a closet near her.
"Oh, right. I'll see you, girls, later then,"
"Sure thing."
"Bye, Y/N."
When Ruby closed her door, Y/N saw another door opening to the side of RWBY. Out came the faces of Team JNPR. "Y/N?"
"Jaune?"
"NORA!"
The members of the team were now wearing their respective uniforms. "Good Morning." Pyrrha happily greeted him.
"Good morning neighbor." Y/N replied.
"Oh, Y/N. Meet my friends." Jaune said happily. He pointed at the boy with a magenta streak on his hair. "That's Ren."
"Hello."
"This is Nora."
"HI!!! Are you Jaune's brother?" Nora asked out of the blue on the teen who was confused.
"No, no I don't think so. Why?"
Ren answered that question. "Well, from what Jaune said about you, we thought you were a Second Year as well as his sibling."
"Really? Well, I'm not. My name is Y/N L/N, call me Y/N." He replied as he eyed Pyrrha looking at him. "Who's she?"
"And she's Pyrrha. She's my partner." Jaune grinned like a kid at a candy shop since he owes it to her for activating his Aura. She blushed at the attention her crush was giving her.
"H-Hello again."
"A pleasure. Now..." Y/N clapped his hands to get everyone to look at him. Looking at his watch, 8:30, he looked at everyone. "Shall we go to class?"
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Arriving at Port's Classes, early for once, Y/N and JNPR were sitting near each other. Y/N was at the side of Jaune, Pyrrha was at his other side then Ren and Nora. The team chatted with the teen about a few topics; where he learned to fight "Self-Taught", what's his Semblance "Let's me buff my attacks, defense and speed, as well as projecting ephereal blades and making certain forms of attack" and his connection to Jaune "Saw him at the entrance, he needed some help adjusting."
They also saw the video that came up suddenly, much to Y/N's despair, and applauded him for his skill in wiping out a strong Elder Grimm.
Pyrrha smiled at Y/N's kindness and giggled lightly at how Jaune has already warmed up to him. Ren nodded along with how well the teens' sense of justice and Nora was practically gushing about his Semblance. Something about, making her attacks stronger and more destructive but Ren stopped the bomber before she does something drastic.
Jaune asked Y/N to see if he can train him to become a better fighter since he saw his fighting style but Y/N refused because he has a job that takes most of his free time and he needed a way to earn money. The blonde knight was a bit saddened by it but Pyrrha came to the rescue.
"Don't worry Jaune, I'll train you."
"Y-You will? I-I don't wanna-"
"Remember Jaune." Y/N cut out his words. "If it ain't showing, it ain't worth it. It also means if someone wants to help, you should accept the offer."
"PRECISELY!" A bold voice boomed in the room as the teacher came into view. "Good day, Class. My name is Professor Port."
{OBSERVE}
NAME: Peter Port
TITLES: Teacher at Beacon Academy, Former Huntsman, The Great Warrior, Muscled Axe, Has Best Moustache, Grimm Specialist, etc...
WEAPON: Axe-Blunderbuss {Blowhard}
SEMBLANCE: Scope {Allows him to have a reticle on his eyes to ensure whatever weapon he holds, it will give the appropriate sight of fire or drop
FIGHTING STYLE: Battle-Experienced
INFO: A former Huntsman, Peter Port is a graduate of Beacon and a teacher to it. Ever since his graduation, Port has been on many expeditions, battling Grimm and saving the people from it. A better figure for a Hunstman that of Port.
Y/N was a bit surprised when he saw the many {Titles} on the man himself so it must show how much he did to earn them all. "Ah, Y/N. Good to see you." The gaze he felt from everyone made him sweatdrop a bit.
"Professor Port." Y/N answered smoothly. "So, what tales of your youth will you tell us now?" Y/N asked as he put his hand on his cheek.
"Tales?" Jaune asked Y/N with a bit of confusion.
"That is a good question, lad. Let's see..." Port looked deep in thought as the class silently talked to themselves.
"Oh, yeah. Professor Port was a former Huntsman before coming to teach here at Beacon. He always tells people like us about his adventures so that we can know the Grimm better."
"Seems like a good topic," Pyrrha said. "All I ever know about the Grimm were their names and appearance." Her parents wanted a warrior, not a Huntress. So they only told her about basic and Elder Grimm.
"Yeah! What if there was one that looks like a sloth? We'd so, keep it as a pet. And have its babies!"
"Nora... I highly doubt we can just 'tame' a Grimm. Also, we don't know if Grimm can have babies."
"You don't know that. Besides, babies are cute so Grimm babies have to be cute."
"That is the universal law here."
"Umm... maybe we just haven't seen it yet."
"That is true..."
"So?! When we graduate, our first mission is to find a Sloth Grimm. Fearless Leader will lead the way."
"M-Me?!"
"AHEM!" Port stopped the group from talking too much and too loud.. "Just so you know, yes, Grimm can reproduce." A sudden silent 'yes' was heard before shutting up. "The best example is the Echidna-"
BANG!!!
A sudden 'bang' got everyone to turn their heads to the front door. Four individuals were sprawled on it, each with their own respective colors. Red, White, Black, and Yellow.
"Owie..."
"Get off me, you dunce."
"We made it..."
"You OK, Rubes?"
"Ah, Team RWBY," Port announced. "I see you were late. I shall excuse you since it is your first day, though please come in time the next day." Port scolded the group.
The team walked up to the seats below JNPR and hand their heads down. Port cleared his throat to get everyone to look at him once more as he continued. "Ahem, continuing. Grimm can, in fact, produce offsprings but it has only happened to a select number of them and they are not even considered children. One of them is..." Port's voice droned on about Grimm.
Y/N leaned down in front of him to Team RWBY. "Why were you girls so late?" Even though he knows, his identity doesn't.
"Ummm... Room Decorating?" Yang answered back to the excuse which made Y/N question whether he should surprised or deadpan. "We totally were, right guys?"
"Yeah."
"Pretty much."
"Of course."
Nodding along, Y/N tried to focus on Port and his lesson. "We shall discuss that topic at another time. Once again, My name is Professor Peter Port but you shall call me Prof. Port during your time here at Beacon. My role is to teach you what is a Grimm and the different shapes and sizes you shall likely encounter when you graduate. But first, let me tell you a story-" While it sounds interesting, not the topic everyone wanted to hear right now.
Y/N always wondered why nobody pays attention to Port, sure you can just look it up but experience-wise, he is the man who has seen them all. Looking at JNPR, Jaune is trying his best to stay awake from Port's endless story, Pyrrha is taking notes as well as Ren and Nora was... sleeping.
So he looked at RWBY to see what they were doing, but they all were the same. Ruby is drawing on a piece of paper, Yang was looking bored, Blake is reading a book while Weiss is the only student here being attentive. Other than Pyrrha and Ren, no one in the class is seen taking notes or even listening. Well, can you blame them? If you were an adolescent teen with superpowers and a weapon, would you still go to school?
Anyway, Y/N was also taking a few notes of a reminder about certain Grimm. A trick he learned during Junior High was to only write down keywords of reminders to study instead of just copying it all. Too much strain on his hands.
While he was doing so, he heard a couple of snickers in front and saw Yang and Ruby laughing. Knowing what was gonna happen, he dredged on.
"A Huntsman has to be strategic in order to make the best decisions, Well-Educated of the Grimm he faces and Wise to know which battles to fight. Which among you is the best example of these traits?"
"I DO!" Weiss suddenly shot up from her seat with a hand raised. Everyone was now paying attention to her as they all woke up from a trance of sleeping or about to.
Port grunted in approval. "Very well, please change into Combat Gear and get ready." Weiss left the room hurriedly, with her head down. "While Ms.Schnee changes, I will collect the challenge." Port also left.
With room teacherless, many students began to talk to a friend or other people. Yang saw it as an opportunity to ask Y/N something. "Hey, Y/N."
Looking at Yang, Y/N answered. "Yes?"
"Where did you learn how to fight like that?" She was pertaining to his fight with the Berigal that was the hot topic in Vale.
Sighing, he rubbed his temples from the headache that was the council of Vale. "Like I told JNPR, I was mostly self-taught. I never held a weapon and had my instincts there to help me so I didn't have a style."
A few gawks from the students but kept their mouths shut. If anyone can fight that good without training, it's best not to anger him too much.
Blake asked the next question. "I've never seen anyone that handles {Light} as a weapon. How did you do that?"
"Simple." Using his Aura, he made a small {Kouha} appear. A small ball of light was formed in front of Y/N. "Using the sun or any light source, I can condense it into a small form."
"Pretty..." Nora and Ruby thoughtlessly said as they eyed the small ray of light.
Yang was a bit taken back at how well Y/N can control the light. "Now that is cool."
Pyrrha was also the same. "In all of my battles, I have never seen such a beautiful display of light."
"Wow... can I touch it?" Jaune asked.
"Absolutely not." Y/N stated with seriousness in his voice to ensure his point. "While it may look harmless, it certainly packs a punch to the untrained individual. If I attacked you with it, you would likely go to the other side of the room." The speed of a {Kouha} was that of a bullet. Like getting hit with a very powerful rubber bullet.
"Agreed," Ren didn't want to know what it was like to get hit by one, he trusts Y/N on the regard of information. "What else can you do?"
Hearing Ren's question, he made the ball disappear, much to some of the girl's disappointment. "Hmm... any of you guys got any Dust?"
"Oh." Ruby went deep into her pocket as she fished out a small yellow Dust. "Will this do?"
"Perfect, red." Y/N grabbed the Dust, while also touching Ruby's hand. "This is will do nicely."
Ruby blushed a bit when Y/N grabbed the dust but shook it away.
"Now then..." As Y/N was about to show off, Port came in with a cage. "Sorry, but the teacher is back."
A couple of groans and pleads from RWBY and JNPR were heard around but neither didn't intrude on Port and his lesson.
At the same time, Weiss came back in her combat gear and Myrtenaster at her hip. "Ahh, Ms. Schnee. In time as well, perfect." Port praised the heiress as she delved at the moment. "Now..." Weiss immediately went into a combat stance as she drew her rapier. "Ready yourself."
Feeling a bit of pride, the other members of team RWBY cheered Weiss on.
Yang was excited. "Goooo, Weiss. Kick its butt."
Blake was impassive but held a makeshift banner of her team. "Fight Well!"
And Ruby wanted to say something a leader would. "Yeah, represent teeeeeeeeeeaam RWBY!"
Weiss has had enough of her childish shenanigans which made her lose focus. "Ruby, I am trying to focus."
During her time changing into her appropriate wear, she deeply wondered why she wasn't made a leader. Her skills rival that to Ruby, a mere child in the elite school. This frustrated her, it made a fool on her image and her dream of becoming the best Huntress in Vale- nay, in Remnant.
She will not have her dream broken by a mere child.
"Allllright." Port loudly announced to the class. He walked to the cage he brought in as it tumbled and shook violently. Port brought Blowhard above his head and went into position. "Let the match... begin!." And in one fell swoop, he destroyed the lock and the cage was left open.
Out came a small Grimm, a Boarbatusk, and charged immediately at Weiss. She was almost caught off-guard but re-directed the attack to the side as she jumped at the other end. "Impressive reflexes, but your opponent will not be swayed so easily." Port loudly said to the Huntress.
With her feet in position- "Hang in there, Weiss."-, Weiss blindly charged to the Grimm with Myrtenaster ready.
"A bold approach? Unthinkable." Port grimaced at the tactic but wanted to see if she notices it or not.
When it made contact the Grimm side smash its tusk against the weapon, making it stuck on its appendages. When Weiss felt the sudden weight shift, she still held to her weapon as she skillfully twisted her body to get a foothold. When her feet touched the ground, the tug between Weiss and the Grimm began with the rope as Myrtenaster.
As the fight ensues, Weiss quickly tried to come up with a plan to get Myternaster back while also- "Come on, Weiss. Show it who's boss!" A sudden distraction made her lose focus as the Grimm took the advantage.
It moved to the left, right, back and forward mostly in any direction possible but managed to get the weapon and hurls it across the room. With no weapon, Weiss was powerless against the Grimm. It chucked Weiss away from it as far as possible, to the other side of the room, as it tried to get its bearings straight.
"What will you do now without a weapon?" Port said to the heiress as he readied his weapon against the Grimm. Should it prove too dangerous, he will make the shot and tell Weiss to get better.
Weiss shortly looked at Port with anger and focused on her opponent, which tried to ram against her but she dodged out of the way and left the Grimm to try and stop its attack by going backward. She ran to the other side of the room to try and get her weapon until she heard a sound from behind her.
The Grimm recovered from its attack and curled into a wheel. It spun very fast against the tiles of the room which indicated Weiss of what was going to happen. Without a second to spare, she retrieved Myrtenaster from the ground and went into a stance. "Weiss, go for its belly! There's no armor underneath-"
Now she had enough. "STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO!-" She was cut short when the Grimm attacked her side.
"Gah!" Weiss was rolling on the hard tile, not yet registering the pain on her side. Aura helped her to recover but it won't be fast enough for the Grimm. It rolled up again, preparing to finish the young Huntress.
Port saw it and aimed Blowhard at the Grimm. Weiss saw what it's about to do. Ruby was about to help. Yang tensed. Blake watched carefully. Pyrrha was about to jump. Jaune looked ready to gun it. Ren was focused while Nora doesn't know what was happening.
And Y/N. "{ZIO!}". A singled lightning bolt emerged from his palm as it shot through the air and sailed towards the side of the Grimm. Its energy was powerful enough to go through the Grimm without effort. It fell to the side, dead.
Everyone looked at Y/N with an open palm and a burnt Dust crystal. He looked around from the many gazes of his friends and peer. "Uh... I'm not in trouble for disrupting classes, am I?"
