No one's POV
The next day

Y/n was standing in front of Ozpin in the headmaster's office. Ozpin was sitting in his chair as y/n was trying to activate his semblance. He's spent the pass few hours trying but hasn't had any luck. Y/n had his right arm out as his eyes were closed and his face was covered in sweat.

"Concentrate, y/n." Ozpin spoke softly and calm. "Visualize the weapon you want to summon and make it happen."

Y/n tries to do what Ozpin said, but nothing happens. Y/n growls in annoyance before he opens his eyes and stomps his foot on the ground.

"Why isn't this working?!"

"Calm down, y/n." Y/n turns to Ozpin with an annoyed look. "Unlocking a semblance isn't easy for everyone."

Y/n scoffs. "Obviously. Otherwise I wouldn't be here right now."

"I know, I know. Give it a few more tries. Hopefully you can activate your semblance before the initiation."

Y/n rolled his eyes. He lets out an annoyed and stressed sigh before giving it another go. He lifts his right hand out as he closed his eyes and concentrates. At first, nothing happened. But soon, y/n's hand began to illuminate in a bright light. He scrunches his face as he puts all of his concentration into this. The light extends and grew brighter and within seconds, almost becoming blinding to the eyes. Even Ozpin had to cover his eyes due to the brightness by covering his face with his arms. A few seconds the light dies down. Ozpin lowers his arms and noticed something was in y/n's hand.

Y/n smirks as he opens his eyes. Ozpin was beyond impressed as he watched y/n lower his arm.

"You did it." Ozpin congratulates with a smile.

"Hell yeah I did!" Y/n stares at his weapon in hand, thinking of something. He smirks as he began to play around with it.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(^Like so^)

After he was done, Ozpin simply smirks at his excitement and clapped his hands, as if y/n was a performer of some kind.

"Impressive, but you don't need to show off."

Y/n lets out an embarrassed chuckle in response. Just as he didn't know what to do with his weapon, the nunchucks glow again before disappearing from y/n's hands. Ozpin seems a little surprised by this for some reason.

"Looks like you can make your weapons disappear as well."

"I guess. I'm also guessing I'll have to practice a bit after the initiation to get better at controlling my semblance, right?"

Ozpin nods. "Correct. A person's semblance is like a muscle; in order for it to become stronger, you have to work on it. And most people unlock theirs at a young age, but given your situation, it might take time."

"Yeah, alright. What now?"

Ozpin checks his scroll for the time. Seeing it's almost time for the initiation to start, he stands up and grabs his cane before he made his way to the elevator.

"We should head to the cliff for the initiation. It's about to start."

Y/n nods as he follows Ozpin to the elevator. The two made small talk as they made their way to the cliff.

Meanwhile...

In the auditorium, the future team STRQ slowly began to wake up. Raven was already up and ready to go. She woke up about an hour ago and was currently sharpening her sword. Qrow slowly got up, groaning from sleeping on the uncomfortable floor all night. Tai however woke up all energetic and excited for the initiation. Summer was already awake and was in the restroom getting changed. Tai got up from his sleeping bag and began to stretch, feeling satisfied when he heard multiple pops from his back.

Tai lets out a relieved sigh. "Today's the initiation! It's going to be awesome!"

"You seriously are excited for it?" Qrow asks exhausted before yawning. "And why are you so energetic this early in the morning?"

"I don't know! I'm always like this!"

As they continued to chat, Raven began to fell annoyed at their loud chatter. She stops sharpening her sword as she grits her teeth.

"Will you two just shut up already?!" Raven barks.

Tai and Qrow stops talking after hearing her yell. They slowly stare at her and noticed how pissed off she looks. The two began to sweat nervously as they felt scared.

"S-sorry, sis..." Qrow apologizes.

Raven just rolled her eyes before she got up and storms off. Qrow and Tai nervously watched her leave. When she was out of sight, the two let out a relieved sigh.

"Geez, she's one scary lady." Tai states.

"No kidding." Qrow agrees.

The two began to get ready for the day after what just happened.

Meanwhile...

Raven heads for the restroom. As she did, she bumps into Summer. The two fall on the floor together.

"Ow!" Summer recovers from the fall quickly and realizes who she bumped into. "I'm sorry, Raven. I-!" She tries to apologize but stops talking when she sees how mad Raven looks. "Hey....Are you okay?" She asks nervously yet was obviously concerned.

She got up and offered a hand to Raven, who just slaps it away and got up before storming away. "I'm fine."

Summer just stares at Raven as she leaves. When she's out of sight, Summer felt guilty for bumping into her. "Was it my fault?" She mumbles. She felt guilty for maker Raven mad and decided to try and apologize to her later when she has the time. But she forced herself to focus on getting ready for the initiation right now.

Time skip

Ozpin was standing in front of several first year students on a cliff in the Emerald Forest. Y/n was on the far right as the future team STRQ was on the far left.

"I'm going to keep this simple." Ozpin began. "In order for you to get into Beacon today you must retrieve a relic on the other side of the forest. There are Grimm roaming all around so you will have to fight for your lives. Otherwise you will die. Any questions?"

No one said anything. Y/n smirks as he crosses his arms. 'This is going to be one helluva party!' He thought to himself.

"Good. You're initiation begins now."

Everyone except for y/n looks at each other, confused. They didn't know what to do, until y/n was catapulted into the air first. Then, one by one, everyone else was as well.

Time skip

After being catapulted a while ago, y/n was thinking about landing soon. He looks around to find a good place to land, but doesn't have any luck. He rolled his eyes before he spots an area with a few Beowulfs and Ursas. He smirks when coming up with an idea. He pulls out his sword from behind and waits for the right moment to strike.

Once he thought the time was right, he began executing his plan. "Heads up!" He yells above the Grimm.

Y/n does a downward slash on a Beowulf, slicing it in half when the blade made contact with the Grimm before it disappears. The other Grimm face y/n to find him smirking as he points his blade to the Grimm.

"Alright...hope you guys can give me a challenge!"

Two Beowulfs charge at him. Y/n does a vertical slash against one, killing the Grimm instantly, before thrusting his sword forward towards the other Grimm. After, he turns around just in time to do a horizontal swing again an Ursa. Then he charged at a Beowulf and stabs it in the chest several times before he kicks it away.

Just as the last few Ursas and Beowulfs were about to jump on y/n, he pulls out his two pistols from behind and jumps into the air.

A gray circle was summoned underneath him. Y/n used it as a boost and jumps higher into the air. Y/n backflips midair and began to rain bullets on the Grimm while spinning. When he lands, he was on one knee as the sky began to rain used bullets as the Grimm drop dead. Y/n stands up looking behind him, feeling disappointed with the fight he just had.

Y/n growls in frustration. "Damnit...I said to give me a challenge!" He puts his pistols away before he made his way to the relics.

Y/n's POV

I've been walking in silence for the past several minutes. I haven't run into anymore Grimm so far so I was simply enjoying the scenery around me. That was until I heard a growl coming from my left.

'?'

Becoming curious by the sound, I decided to investigate it. I walk through a few bushes and saw a few rocks lying around a small clearing. I walk closer to them and could see a gap between the rocks becoming bigger and bigger with each step I took. When I was at the edge I look down and saw it was an entrance to some sort of cave. Unfortunately I couldn't see too far into it as everything was covered in darkness.

'Probably nothing serious.' I thought to myself. I shrug off the idea of exploring it and began walking away. That was until I heard more growling coming from the hole. There were sounds of Grimm but also something else that I recognized.

'I know that sound...'

I look over my shoulder at the entrance and stare at it for a moment.

"..."

I walk back to the entrance and stare a little more. I open my right hand and wait for a weapon to be summoned. Nothing happens. I turn to my hand and still saw nothing summon. I roll my eyes before I decided to go with what I have on me right now. I pull out my sword from by back. I leap into the hole and land on the ground a few seconds later. I look up and could barely see a faint red glow deeper in the cave. I let my eyes adjust to the darkness before heading to the light. I rest my blade on my shoulder as I walk. The cave was relatively narrow, so it wasn't too difficult to find.

A minute or two later I found the source of the light. It was something called a Gore Nest. Blood was spewed all over the ground around it. The Nests appear to actually be a sessile animal organism of some kind like a coral reef, appearing to consist of a dinosaur-like head with a large open mouth lined with teeth in which lies a large spherical glowing red portal. Skulls and other body parts provide the underlying material for the "reef". On the right side of the gore nest "head" is a large yellow pustule which looks like it might be the creature's eye. This pustule encases the gore nest's heart, which keeps the organism alive.

'So they're already here...' I thought to myself as I was right in front of the Nest. I study the cave around me. Luckily the light coming from the Nest illuminates the most of the cave. The place was kinda big, probably big enough to fit a few buses in it.

"Welp..." I say out loud. I press my right foot on the Nest as I lift my sword over my head. "Can't let demons kill a few people...at least not on my first day of the job." I stab my blade into the yellow thing that was basically the heart of the Gore Nest. "Let's get this taken care of."

I stab the eye of the Nest. It lets out an ear-piercing demonic cry of agony before exploding. I smirk as I heard demonic roars all around me. I turn around and saw several demons spawn throughout the cave. From what I can tell they were a mix of Imps, Prowlers, and Pinkies.

I pull up my sword to my face as I smirk, feeling excited about this fight. "Come on!"

The Imps leap onto the walls and began throwing fireballs at me. I jump back behind me as the Prowlers and Pinkies charge at me. I pull out one of my pistols and started blasting the Imps. I took down two of them before I duck as a Prowler tried to smack me. I roll back before thrusting myself at the demon in front of me. My sword impales the demon's chest, killing it. I yank my sword out of it and block an attack from another incoming Prowler. I saw sparks flying in the air as my sword and its claws made contact together. I blasts its face off with my pistol before jumping over a charging Pinky. It ran face first into a wall, staggering itself. I took this opportunity to give a barrage of deep stabs into its soft back, killing it eventually. I turn around and was met with a fireball to my stomach. "Argh!"

I stumbled back as I was hit by another Pinky. My back was slammed into a wall, causing me to loose my breath. I quickly recovered and rolled away from another incoming Pinky. I threw my sword at an Imp's stomach across the room, killing it. I turn around and used both of my pistols to blast the Pinky's thick armor. Another Prowler charged at me so I leaped on its head and land behind it. I spun kicked it's back and sent it staggering. I shot the back of its head several times before it drops to the ground dead.

I look around and saw only two more Pinkies and three Imps left. I saw two Imps and a Pinky guarding my sword. I tried to summon another weapon but still no luck.

"Work, damnit!" I mumble under my breath.

I ran to my sword as another Pinky charges at me. I double jumped over the demons guarding my sword and was about to grab it when I was suddenly hit with another fireball. I was sent back several feet from my sword as I accidentally let go of my pistols. I quickly got up and saw my pistols were underneath a Pinky. I sneer as I glare at the demons.

I was tackled to the ground by an Imp. It tried to bite my face off, but I kicked it in the guts with enough force to get it off me. I opened my hand one last time in hopes of my semblance actually working. It took a moment but eventually a gun was summoned into my hand.

I look at it and smile. "Finally!" I aimed my shotgun at one of the Imps and shot the hook from underneath my shotgun. It impales the Imp and I was reeled to it. I grabbed my sword as I continued to be reeled in and used it to stab the Imp's face. I turn around and blasts an incoming Imp, blowing its upper body into nothing. I look to my right and fired the hook again at a Pinky. When I was close enough I leap over the demon and shot its back twice, blowing some of its body off in the process. I stabbed my sword into it to finish it off.

All that was left was an Imp and a Pinky. I heard the Pinky charging me from behind as a fireball was coming at my front. I decided to try teleporting behind the Pinky but was instead behind the Imp. It turns around as I cut it in half.

'Not what I was planning...' I thought as I jump over the Pinky. 'But this will do!'

I land on top of the Pinky's back. It tried to shake me off as I held onto its armor. I stab my sword in its back over and over again. I didn't stop until the demon lets out a roar and crashed into the ground. I got off of it and look around the cave. I saw no more demons left.

"That's all, I think..." I said as I took a moment to catch my breath. I wasn't fully exhausted, just needed a moment to breath. 'I'm sure Vergil or Dante wouldn't have trouble-.' I stop thinking when I realized what I said. "..." I growl in frustration as I squeeze my hands into fists, gripping my shotgun harder. 'Stop comparing yourself to them, damnit!' I lecture myself whilst slapping myself in the face. 'You're acting like everyone else!'

A few moments pass. I eventually let out a stresses out sigh before putting my sword on my back. I grabbed my pistols and placed them back in their holsters. Just as I was about to head out I heard one last demonic growl. I turn around and saw a floating demon charging at me.

"You want some too?" I say to the demon.

It roars as I blast the hook of my shotgun at it, staggering it as it was impaled. I was reeled in and drew my sword. Just as I was about to kill it, everything freezes. The sounds of gunshots were heard. Five bullets shot the screen before it cracks and shatters into nothing.
