Volume 1 - Chapter 2
Third Person POV
____________________________________
Today was the day that initiation starts, some people were tired and some were full of energy. This was the day that will set the teams up, but a certain person would rather be solo than being on a team, that person is Y/N.
"Wake up lazy butt!"
A ginger-haired girl woke up someone who had a magenta strand in his hair, he groaned as he got up.
"It's morning! It's morning! It's morning! It's morning!" The girl was singing to the guy she woke up.
Y/N woke up feeling quite well, this is the most amount of sleep he has ever gotten.
"Man that was a great sleep, I feel refreshed! That's the most sleep I've ever gotten. I feel ready to go!"
He began stretching, Ruby and Yang woke up as well. Y/N walked over to them knowing that it was time to get ready to go.
"I wish you both luck on the initiation today." Y/N's voice was gruff again, he was a little more serious today.
"I hope you do well too. You seem serious today, is it because of the initiation?" Ruby looked a bit confused at Y/N.
"That's how I usually talk, but anyways you two should get ready. See you two later." Y/N walked away from the two sisters.
"Okay... See ya....." Ruby awkwardly waved to him.
"Well sis, let's get a move on." Yang tried to lighten the mood up.
"Okay, let's go."
Both of them went to go get ready for the initiation.
Locker Room
People were getting their gear from their lockers, the only person who didn't use a locker was Y/N. He overheard that girl and guy from earlier this morning.
"I know! We'll have some sort of signal! Like a distress signal!" She gasped. "A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest! Can you imitate a sloth?"
"Nora?"
"Yes, Ren?"
"I don't think sloths make a lot of noise." Ren sheathed his weapons in his sleeves.
"....That's why it's perfect! No one will suspect we're working together."
"Come on, Nora. Let's go"
Ren shut his locker then began walking.
"Not 'together-together'..." Nora giggled then began skipping with Ren as the two past Ruby and Yang.
Ruby and Yang were getting ready to head out when they noticed those two past them.
"Wonder what those two are so worked up about?" Ruby looked at them then she went back to looking at her locker.
"Oh, who knows... So! You seemed awfully chipper this morning." Yang looked at her younger sister.
"Yep! No more awkward small talk or 'getting-to-know-you' stuff. Today I get to let my sweetheart do the talking." Ruby stroke her weapon the Crescent Rose as she sighs happily.
Y/N closed his locker not like it had much in there. All he had was his redshirt and some jeans.
"Going back into the forest today, that seems pretty easy for me. Considering I've been traveling the forest in search of food for a while. But now that I've eaten something and drank some water, any Grimm that comes near me is already dead."
He cracked his knuckles then he began walking away from his locker. He was about to leave the locker room but he saw Yang and Ruby.
"Hey girls."
"Hey, there Y/N. Where's your weapon?" Ruby asked him.
"Don't need one, I fight with my fists!"
"Respect." Yang smirked at Y/N.
"What do you mean you don't fight with a weapon? You're telling me you've killed Grimm with your bare hands?!" Ruby was a little shocked.
"Yeah, it's called..."
Before Y/N could say the martial art he studied, Jaune walked past them while he was holding a map. He was looking rather lost.
"Ridiculous! There's no way I put my gear in locker 636 yesterday! I would've remembered having to count that high! Why does this have to happen today?"
Jaune was really frustrated, he passed by Weiss Schnee and a red-haired girl that was Pyrrha Nikos. The two girls were readying themselves for the initiation.
"So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to who's team you'd like to be on? I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well-known individual such as yourself!" Weiss was obviously trying to get Pyrrha to be on a team with her.
"Hmm... I'm not quite sure. I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may." Pyrrha sounding a little unsure about the subject.
"Well, I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together."
"Well, that sounds grand!"
"Great!"
Weiss began thinking to herself all while thundercloud was behind her that no one could see. She had a scheming pose and maniacal smile in her head.
"This is perfect! The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class! Together we will be unstoppable! I can see it now! We'll be popular! We'll be celebrities! We'll get perfect grades! Nothing can come between us now!"
Jaune went in between the two, interrupting Weiss' evil train of thought.
"You know what else is great? Me. Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you."
Weiss was irritated by this. "You again?"
Pyrrha let herself be seen by Jaune.
"Nice to meet you, Jaune!"
"Yeah, yeah." Jaune pushed Pyrrha and began posing to impress Weiss but it was not working. "So, Weiss, couldn't help but overhear your fondness of me the other day."
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" Weiss facepalmed out of frustration.
"Don't worry! No need to be embarrassed! So, been hearing rumors about teams! I was thinking you and me would make a good one! What do you say?" Jaune obviously didn't get the hint she was not interested.
Pyrrha got Jaune's attention.
"Actually, I think teams are comprised of four students each, so..."
"You don't say."
Jaune now advanced onto Pyrrha.
"Well, hot-stuff, play your cards right and maybe you could join up with the winning team."
Weiss got in between both of them separating them.
"Jaune, is it? Do you have any idea who you are talking to?"
"Not in the slightest, Snow Angel." Jaune was still trying to flirt, even though he didn't know who Pyrrha was.
"This is Pyrrha."
"Hello again!" Pyrrha waved to Jaune.
"Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum."
"Never heard of it."
Weiss was annoyed more by Jaune.
"Ah! She's won the Mistral Regional Tournament four years in a row... A new record!"
"The what?"
"She's also on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!" Weiss waved her arms rapidly in anger.
Jaune gasped. "That's you? They only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!"
Jaune pictured her face on the cereal box smiling.
"Yeah, it was pretty cool. Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you."
Jaune was out of his train of the thought, as the cereal box, he pictured with Pyrrha on it, crumbled behind Weiss and Pyrrha. Weiss was a little less stressed now that Jaune knew who Pyrrha was.
"So after hearing all of this, do you really think you're in a position to ask her to be on your team?"
Jaune looked down in disappointment.
"I guess not... Sorry."
Pyrrha walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Actually Jaune, I think you'd make a great leader."
This cheered Jaune right up.
"D'oh, stop it!"
"Seriously, please stop it. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged!"
"Sounds like Pyrrha's on board for Team Jaune. Spots are filling up quick! Now, I'm not supposed to do this, but, maybe I could pull some strings, find a place for you. What do you say?"
Jaune leaned in towards Weiss who backed away from being uncomfortable.
"Alright, that's a bit too close! Pyrrha, a little help please?"
Jaune looked to see Pyrrha's weapon Miló strike him, this knocked him away from the two girls.
"I'm sorry!"
Pyrrha yelled apologetically. Everyone began hearing the intercom as Ms. Goodwitch was doing the announcement.
"Would all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately."
Weiss passed Jaune as he was hanging to the wall of a locker. Pyrrha followed Weiss, she grabbed her spear which made Jaune drop to the floor.
"It was nice meeting you!"
Jaune was slumped up against the locker. He let out a sigh.
"Likewise..."
Y/N, Yang, and Ruby were walking out of the locker room.
"Yeah, the Beowolf's torso exploded, its because I struck it's hidden pressure points." Y/N causally talks about killing the Beowolf, while both Yang and Ruby were interested in his abilities.
Y/N notices Jaune on the ground.
"Hey, Jaune, better luck next time."
"Havin' some trouble there, Ladykiller?"
Ruby offered Jaune a hand up, but he was still disappointed in what happened.
"I don't understand... My dad said all look for is confidence. Where did I go wrong!?"
Ruby helps Jaune up to his feet.
"'Snow Angel' probably wasn't the best start."
Ruby began to lead Jaune out of the locker room.
"Come on, Jaune, let's go."
Y/N walked with Yang out of the locker room.
"Well then big guy, I want to see this martial art for myself." Yang lightly punched Y/N's shoulder.
"In due time Yang, let's just get out to the cliff."
Beacon Cliff
_____________________________________
Everyone was gathered at Beacon Cliff, below the cliff was a forest. Everyone was standing on sliver tiles except for Professor Ozpin and Glynda. Ozpin was holding his mug, while Glynda had a tablet in her hands.
"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin informed the students.
But as usual Y/N glared at Ozpin, he didn't care for what he had to say.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard the rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... Today."
"What? Ohhh..." Ruby was nervous about this.
"I work better on my own." Y/N folded his arms.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well."
Ruby groaned from hearing this.
"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."
Ruby had a shocked expression on her face simulating that her world cracked like glass and fell apart. "Whaaaat?!"
Y/N just rolled his eyes at Ozpin, the professor knew this bothered some of the students. Nora looked at Ren.
"See? I told you!"
"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die."
Ozpin was trying to scare some of the students, but Y/N just kept glaring at the professor cracking his fists. He began thinking as the words menacing were floating around Y/N.
"If anyone dies Ozpin, I will make sure you die as well. My master told me to be cautious around you."
Jaune began to laugh nervously then he gulps.
"You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation. But our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one, and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?"
"Yeah, um, sir..."
Jaune raised his hand but Ozpin ignored him.
"Good! Now take your positions."
Everyone was posing on their said tile as they ready themselves for the initiation. Nora was crouching, Ren was wielding his weapons, Yang raised her fists, Ruby was ready to go, and Jaune was still raising his hand. Y/N just kept his arms folded, with his eyes closed.
"Uh, sir? I've got, um... a question."
Slowly everyone was being launched up by the tile, that was a springboard. It went down the line slowly.
"So, this landing... strategy thing... Uh, wha-what is it? You're, like, dropping us off or something?"
"No. You will be falling."
More students were being launched while Jaune didn't notice at all.
"Oh, uh, I see... So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?" Jaune was hoping he would say yes.
"No. You will be using your own 'landing strategy.'"
Nora and Ren were launched out into the forest. Jaune still didn't notice that it was getting closer to him to be launched.
"Uh-huh... Yeah."
Y/N was launched into the forest next as he wasn't remotely scared of this. Yang was up next, she winked at her sister, then she puts on a pair of aviators, then she as launched.
"Woo...hoooooooo!" Yang yelled out in excitement as she was sent through the air.
Ruby was the next one to be launched.
"So, what exactly is a landing strateGYYY!"
Jaune was the finale one to be launched as all the students were descending to the forest below. Ozpin just takes a sip from his mug as he began to question why Y/N looked familiar.
"Y/N, he obviously doesn't trust me, but I have the strangest feeling I've seen him somewhere."
Glynda stands next to Ozpin, as they both think.
"There is a chance he could be his son, but considering the fact, he could be his son." Ozpin took another sip.
"You mean he could possibly be the son of..."
Glynda pulls up a picture of the man who could possibly be Y/N's father.
"No doubt about it, he did mention he did have a son, but they've probably never met. But since Y/N knows Hokuto Shinken, things will get more interesting when he finds out the truth."
