"Why don't you come and join beacon academy?" I didn't know what to say, Professor Ozpin had asked me to join his academy. Maybe this just the thing I need to get back on my feet. Besides...my landlord was gonna kick me out in a few days because of Crystal, plus he didn't like faunus...Bastard. So I agreed to go to beacon but on one occasion and that was that Crystal came along with me, I wasn't expecting him to say okay right away, and here I thought he would at least ask why before coming to an answer. Oh well at least he agreed.

I asked where he would like us to meet him and he said the docks in 30 minutes...heh plenty of time. As he left, Crystal ad I started packing what we needed, I changed my shirt to orange and my jacket to blue and put my white one in my backpack then we headed out to the docks, well more Crystal started heading for the docks, I needed to get something before we left, I made sure one of my doves were watching over her while she made her way there.

Once I got what I needed I continued making my way to the docks, while on my way I couldn't help but to think what future lies for me at beacon.
_______________________________________

I walked to the docks only to see Ozpin and Crystal waiting by a bullhead "sorry I'm late, had to stop and get something." I said as the origami dove flew over to me and went into my arm.

"No worries Mr Reis," Ozpin said "though I am curious, what did you get?"

I took my backpack off my back and opened it to show him 4 spray cans that were black, light blue, white and red. Ozpin raised an eyebrow "spray paint? your not thinking of doing any graffiti at my academy are you Daniel?"

I zipped the bag back up and looked at him "no way in hell...especially at your academy Professor Ozpin."

"Ah...good to know, still why do you have spray paint?"

I jumped onto the bullhead "just want to add something to my clothes that involves them, that's all."

Ozpin and Crystal looked at each other and shrugged then they got onto the bullhead.

A few minutes later

I looked down on the city as we flew above it with Crystal hanging onto my leg for dear life "She doesn't seem to enjoy the view as much as you do." I heard Ozpin say.

"Yeah, she was brave enough to stay in the department, but she's not brave enough to face heights."

Ozpin raised his eyebrow "you left her in your apartment, all by herself?"

"I did leave her with a gun."

Ozpin then gave me a stare "I'm joking, yeah right like I'm going to leave a seven year old with a gun," An origami dove formed on my arm "nah I leave one of these guys with her, lets say someone tries to rob the place then next thing you know these little guys are paper cutting the heck out the poor bastard that's robbing the place. So basically think of them as like guardian angels...only paper birds."

Ozpin smiled "Well at least a part of you is still watching over her."

I chuckled "yeah."

"by the way Daniel, I still have some questions I'd like to ask you." He said grabbing out his scroll.

"O-kay shoot."

"Now I've gone through you record and what I've found so far is quite interesting and questionable at the same time."

My Record? wait a minute...does that mean he was looking for me before the little Cafe incident today? I thought but I shrugged it off "oh...and what's in my record that you find both interesting and questionable?"

"Well besides it saying that you control paper from you bare hands, It says here that you attended Shade academy in Vacuo."

"yeah and what's so-"

"but its also says here that you were born in Vale."

"YYYYYYeeeessssss that part is also true."

"so tell me, why did you move from Vale to Vacuo?"

"Well..." I looked down at the floor "ever since my Mum died, Dad was very distant from me and I mean very distant like he would always be travelling. It was rare that we would spend time with each other when he came back, But I mostly spent time with my friends. Then after it had just been my 16th birthday, he left me a note saying that he would begone for while. He just...just left me no goodbyes in person just...gone. After that day, Jack who was my friend told me that his Dad had gotten message from my Dad saying that when he had arrived to Vacuo he had gotten me into Shade academy early. I was happy because Jack, and Amelia and Kiel who were also my friends were getting into Shade early as well...that was the only thing Dad ever did that got me to be happy again," I then looked back up at Ozpin "My friends and I completed our first year there and moved onto the second year, but as that year started we were given a mission...I was the only one to come out of it alive, my friends were pronounced dead. After that I left Shade and came back to Vale, Dad heard about what happened and understood my decision to leave Shade."

"I'm sorry for your loss and also sorry if I bought back any bad memories."

I wiped away a tear that managed to escape from my eye "Nah...i-its fine."

Ozpin adjusted his glasses "Now tell me Daniel did your mother or your father posses this 'conduit gene' as well?"

"Nope just me, I was just born with it."

"I see...also before I forget to ask, did you build your own weapon in Signal before you left to Shade?"

"Yeah but it got destroyed on my last mission."

"I see...do you require a new one?"

"Ozpin, I'm basically a walking weapon, I'm pretty sure I can cope without a weapon."

"Mhm, tell me...does your power have any weakness."

"Yeah...I can't go anywhere near fire and water."

"What if you get thirsty?"

"Oh no that's okay I can still drink liquids just have to be careful that I don't spill it anywhere. Even if I did I could just absorb paper nearby to heal myself.

Ozpin nodded and stared out into the distance.

We stayed quiet for the rest of the trip to beacon until I heard the pilot say "We're here."

I then looked out and saw a tower surrounded by buildings above a waterfall, Beacon academy, this is going to be one interesting year.

On the landing pad.

As we touched down Crystal was the first to jump off and get on her knees and start kissing the ground. I shook my head at her.

I then turned to the edge of the cliff side and looked out into the distance "This is quite the view wouldn't you say Crystal?"

After I said that Crystal shot me a glare "Don't give me that look I was only playing."

Ozpin walked up to me "Now Daniel lets talk about your initiation." He said.

I turned to Ozpin "alright, what about my initiation."

"Well seeing that you were let into the academy late, so I have arranged something in the amphitheatre for your initiation."

"I see and when's the initiation?"

"Your initiation starts in 40 mins , so I suggest you use that time to show yourself around the academy."

"What about Crystal?"

"I'll look after her while you explore, we'll meet you in the amphitheatre."

"Alright," I then walked over to Crystal "Crystal go with Professor Ozpin to the amphitheatre, I'll catch up with you within an hour."

She smiles "*signs* okay Daniel." She hugs me.

"You know sign language?" Ozpin said.

"Yeah, guess you could say I'm full of surprises," Crystal then lets go and we fist-bump each other "see ya kid."

10 minutes later

I was on the roof of one of the buildings, this school is pretty neat.

"Right now lets get started." I sat down and put my backpack beside me, I took my jacket off and laid it flat in front of me, I opened my backpack and pulled out the spray paint and a piece of paper.

I placed the piece of paper on my jacket, I then got out my iPod and went into my playlist and hit shuffle "...and today's winner is.."

(Green Day-Nuclear family)

"Alright one of my favorites.

(Song Starts)

Daniel: I'll start with white first

Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round
Like a Ferris wheel, like it's breaking down
Drinking angels piss, gonna crash and burn
I just want some action so give me my turn
Like a Chinese company conspiracy
it's the death of the nuclear family staring up at you
It's looking like another bad comedy
Just as long as it comes in high-fidelity for me too
Can you hear the sound coming over the hill?
Gotta move my feet, it's coming in for the kill
B-baby, baby, it's a blow out! (Oh yeah)
Like a nuclear bomb and it wont be long 'til I detonate!

Like a Chinese company conspiracy
it's the death of the nuclear family staring up at you
It's looking like another bad comedy
Just as long as it comes in high-fidelity for me too

(Epic solo)

Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round
Like a Ferris wheel, like it's breaking down
Scream, scream, screaming bloody murder! (Wow yeah)
Like a nuclear bomb and it wont be long 'til I detonate
Like a Chinese company conspiracy
it's the death of the nuclear family staring up at you
It's looking like another bad comedy
Just as long as it comes in high-fidelity for me too

I said 10...9..8...7...6...5...4...3 ,5,4,3,2,1

(Song ends)

"Right now for the red and black."

3 minutes later bought to you by a Chibi Daniel spray painting his jacket.

I put down the red and black spray cans and held up my jacket "Beautiful." I said to myself.

Right now on my jacket was two wolves, a Beowulf (one of the ones from the 'red' trailer) on the right side with the left part of its face missing, and a normal wolf on the left side with the right side of its face missing connected to the Beowulf's. I put the jacket on and turned off my iPod and sat on the edge of the building with my legs hanging off, if I'm correct its been 16 minutes now so I still have 24 minutes till my initiation starts...speaking of which... WHERE THE HELLS THE AMPHITHEATRE?!

(Karma has now been set, Karma ranking :default)

Then I here the bell go off and see students pouring out of the buildings, then I saw the uniforms, damn its going to feel weird wearing uniform, I liked it when we could wear whatever back at Shade. I thought to myself.

I then heard the speaker go off "Attention, all students please make your way to the amphitheatre."

Just my luck, now all I have to do is follow the students and they'll lead me straight to the amphitheatre.

"Ow...please stop!" I heard a voice.

"Huh?"

I looked down to see a rabbit faunus being surrounded by 4 guys, 1 with orange hair, 1 with a green Mohawk, 1 with light-brown hair and 1 with Dark blue hair.

I saw the orange haired one approach the girl and knock her books out of her hands. I gritted my teeth, great another anti-faunus group. I would like to help her but I need to get to my initiation. Or at least I would of made my way to my initiation if the orange haired guy hadn't just knocked the girl over when she was trying to pick up her books, thus initiating my ass-kicking mode, initiation can wait. I thought as I jumped off the roof.

Velvet's P.O.V

I was on my way to the amphitheatre as Ozpin instructed, I was at the very back unfortunately Cardin and his friends were too and they took this opportunity and pulled me by the ears around a corner "Ow...please stop!" I yelped, no one heard me though. He then pushed me against the wall "Stop? you here that guy's the freak wants us to stop." Cardin said.

He then came up to me and knocked my books out of my hands "oops my bad." he laughed as did the other three. I knelt down and started to pick up my books only to have Cardin come up and push me to the ground "oops my bad again," i looked up at Cardin, terrified as he got closer to me rubbing his fist in his palm "I hate it when someone tells me to stop what I like doing best...especially if that person is involved with the thing I like to do best."

I closed my eyes and braced myself...

...

Wham

...I opened my eyes a bit then opened them completely and saw Cardin on the ground knocked out, I then looked at the figure on top of him. I couldn't see his face but had Black hair with white streaks and he wore black shoes, an orange shirt, red jeans and a blue jacket that had a picture of a white wolf and a Beowulf on the back "oops...my bad." I heard him say.

"Hey who do you think you are?!" Russel yelled.

The person put his finger up telling them to wait "Hold on," He said as he got off Cardin "I landed on a piece of shit on my way down." He then grabbed Cardin by the collar and what he did next had my mouth hanging wide open.

Paper started coming off his arms and wrapping around Cardin. When Cardin was completely covered in paper except for his head the guy holding him threw him at _RDL, Cardin attempted to get free but for some reason he found it difficult, it's just paper...right?

"Get me out of this," Cardin yelled and _RDL started tear the paper off of him. Cardin got up and approached the guy and held him by his shirt "Who do you think you are huh?!

The guy then grabbed Cardin's hand and removed it from his shirt with ease "Daniel Reis, that's who." the guy known as Daniel said.

Cardin got on one knee and held his arm "Ow...let go," he looked at his team mates "a little help?!"

Russel ran up with his fist raised while Daniel looked at him smiling "Here catch." Daniel threw a paper ball at Russel and it stuck to his chest. Russel looked down at the paper ball, then the ball grew 6 legs then a little head...a paper spider?

Russel screamed "GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!"

"Hold still." Dove tried to whack it off but it jumped off and landed on Sky's head "DOVE ITS GOT ME!" Sky yelled.

While _RDL were messing with the paper spider, Daniel looked at Cardin "You should join them." He said, Daniel grabbed Cardin by the collar and pushed him into Sky making the spider jump on Cardin's face. Cardin quickly whacked it off then looked at Daniel and backed off "l-lets get out of here." Team CRDL ran off.

"Yeah you better run!" Daniel shouted, he then turned to me so I could see his face, He had long black hair with a white streak on the left side and had white opal star shine eyes. He offered his hand to me "are you okay?" he asked. I was a bit hesitant at first but I took his hand and he helped me up.

He then bent down and grabbed all my books and gave them to me "t-thank you," I shyly responded.

"No problem. I'm Daniel, Daniel Reis."

"V-Velvet Scarlatina."

"That's a pretty name." He said and I felt myself blush.

"T-thanks." Then in the corner of my eye I saw the paper spider crawl on Daniel's shoulder. I backed away and pointed at it, he just looked at it and smiled "Don't worry it won't hurt you, little guy's with me," The paper spider then went into Daniels arm, He then looked in the direction that CRDL ran off "do those guys bother you everyday."

"Y-yeah but mostly when my team-mates aren't around." I said sadly.

Third person pov~

Daniel looked down as if he was thinking 'Velvet mustn't be the only Faunas that gets bullied by those guys, and she doesn't look like he type of person that shows self-defence (A/N: I've seen volume 3 and holy shit she is a cute bad ass...but not now) plus she said that they only pick on her when her team-mates aren't around, but with me around...that would be a different story." He looked back up at me and smiled. "Tell you what, if I pass my initiation and make it into the school, I'll b sure to watch out for you as well how does that sound." He gave a cheerful smile.

Velvet didn't know what to say, a guy she just met is willing to help her with CRDL. She smiled "That would mean a-a lot...thank you Daniel."

"No problem," Daniel replied. He then looked left and right "ssssssspeaking of initiation, you wouldn't happen to know where the amphitheatre is?"

Velvet smiled "I was just on my way there, you can follow me."

He smiled "Thanks."

They were about to leave when Daniel stopped "hold on Velvet," his whole body then turned into paper and went onto the roof. When he came back down he had a backpack on his shoulder "alright I'm good, let's go."

few minutes later~

"...wow so you can control paper?!" Velvet asked.

On their way to the amphitheatre, Daniel told Velvet what he is and what he can do and that he had been excepted into Beacon "yeah." he responded

"are there any others like you?"

"Yeah but they have different powers, and they go into hiding because they're afraid of being called a freak or a bio-terrorist."

"that's awful...Have you ever been called any of those."

"Yeah, but it doesn't bother me. I don't care what they call me, Even those I protect still call me those things but I'm used to it."

Velvet looked at him in disbelief "You still get called those things even if you protect them."

"Yep."

How can Daniel be so calm and collected even though people call him those things. Does he just block them out? Velvet thought.

They reached the amphitheatre and Daniel turned to Velvet "thanks Velvet."

"no problem Daniel, good luck with your initiation."

"Thank you." and Velvet entered the amphitheatre. Daniel closed his eyes and took a deep breath "lets do this." and he entered the amphitheatre as well.

Inside the amphitheatre~

"Why did the professor call us to the amphitheatre?" Ruby asked.

"Who knows." Yang said.

"Shhhh...he's about to talk." Weiss said.

Ozpin stepped up to the stage and tapped the microphone "May I have everyone's attention," He said and everyone went silent "thank you, now you all might be wondering why I have called you here, Well allow me to answer your question...we have a new student who will be attending the academy."

Everyone started to talk among themselves.

"a new student? this late in the year?"

"I bet he paid to get let in late."

Ozpin adjusted his glasses and called for silence "anyway, you may all be wondering why I let another person into the academy, well there is something special about him and you'll see why during his initiation which will be taking place right here. Now without further or do, its about time you met this student, Daniel You can come in now."

Everyone turned to the entrance to see a boy with black hair with white streak on the left side start walking to the middle of the amphitheatre.

While he was walking to the middle, people started to murmur

"He doesn't seem like much, what's so special about him?"

"He looks cute."

"I wonder what his weapon is?"

"What's with his jacket? is that a beowolf mixed with a normal wolf?!"

Daniel reached the middle "Would you like to introduce yourself?" Ozpin said.

Daniel nodded and looked to the crowd on the stands "my name is Daniel Reis, I hope we can all be friends." Daniel forced a smile 'yeah right, after I use my power they'll probably be afraid of me and then I won't have much friends except for Velvet.' Daniel thought.

The platform Ozpin stood on lowered to the floor and before he made his way into the bleachers, Daniel handed him his backpack "hold onto that for me." Ozpin nodded and took the bag with him ip to the bleachers and stood next to Ms Goodwitch and Crystal "Now Daniel...your initiation," when he said that cages started to rise from the ground that were full of grimm. 6 Beowolfs, 5 Ursai plus an ursa Major, a King Taijitu and a Deathstalker "for your initiation you must kill these creatures of grimm."

Everyone was shocked about the kinds of Grimm that Daniel was put up against even Ms Goodwitch was shocked "Professor Ozpin with all due respect, don't you think that putting all these grimm up against the new student is a bit extreme?!"

Ozpin just smiled "He'll be fine."

Daniel looked at the Grimm at the cages she isn't exactly wrong, it would be a little extreme for new students. Although, Ozpin knows I'm not your average student. Daniel thought as little pieces of paper started to peel off his hands. Thankfully no one noticed.

After all, wouldn't want to spoil the surprise early.
