The next day, Glynda came to Ryan's room and asked how he acquire such a large amount of weaponry.

"Oh. I found them." Ryan said with honestly.

Glynda blinked twice with bewildered expression, "You.....found them??"

She says as Ryan nods, "Even the Sea Mine?"

She says as she points at the Sea Mine behind him.

"Now THAT one I found in a river near my house four years ago. It may be deactivated, but it's still has enough BANG to take out a city block. So I brought here for only emergencies if a giant Grimm came." He said.

Glynda looked at Ryan with a mix of shock and concern. "Ryan, you do understand the severity of having such dangerous weapons on campus, right? And the risk it poses to yourself and others?" she asked.

Ryan nodded. "Yes, I understand. But I can assure you that these weapons are safe and secured. I have been trained to handle them and I have taken all necessary precautions to ensure their safety."

Glynda sighed. "I hope you know what you're doing, Ryan. But I must remind you that any unauthorized use of these weapons on campus will result in severe consequences."

"I understand, Glynda. And I appreciate your concern." Ryan said with a nod.

Glynda then left the room, leaving Ryan alone with his thoughts and his arsenal of weapons.

Later a knock came at his door. He opens it and sees Teams RWBY and JNPR. Both teams saw Glynda talking him and were concerned.

He told it was fine and it was about his weapons and the Sea Mine. Both teams understood the weapons, but the Sea Mine? Ryan points behind him and both teams enter his spacious dorm room with all the weapons and Ruby saw the literal mention Sea Mine.

Ruby's eyes widened as she saw the Sea Mine, "Is that really a Sea Mine?!" she exclaimed.

Ryan nodded, "Yeah, I found it in a river near my home a few years ago. It's deactivated, but it's still dangerous enough to take out a city block if it was armed."

Team JNPR and RWBY exchanged glances, clearly uneasy at the thought of having such a destructive weapon nearby.

Pyrrha was the first to speak, "Ryan, are you sure it's safe to keep something like that here?"

Ryan nodded, "I keep it as a last resort, in case of a major emergency like a Grimm invasion or something."

Jaune spoke up, "But what if it accidentally goes off or something?"

Ryan reassured him, "Don't worry, I've taken precautions to ensure that doesn't happen. It's safely stored in a reinforced crate with other explosives that I found. It's locked and secured with multiple layers of protection, including a biometric scanner that only responds to my fingerprints."

Ruby looked at Ryan with concern, "Are you sure you know what you're doing with all this?"

Ryan grinned, "Of course, I've been trained in handling explosives and firearms since I was a kid. My dad was a soldier, and he taught me everything he knew."

Team JNPR and RWBY were still uneasy, but they trusted Ryan and his judgment. They decided to drop the subject and focus on getting to know their new friend better.

Blake and Ren was looking at the many pistols he has. Including a working Flintlock pistol.

Ren's eyes widen at the sight of the Flintlock pistol, "Is that a real Flintlock pistol?"

Ryan nods, "Yep, it belonged to my great-grandfather who fought in the Great War."

Blake looks impressed, "That's quite the family heirloom."

Ryan nods, "Yeah, it's been passed down through the generations. It's still functional too."

Weiss walks over to the heavy machine guns, "And what about these?"

Ryan grins, "Ah, those are my babies. I have a soft spot for heavy firepower."

Nora nods eagerly, "Oh yeah, those babies can pack a punch!"

Ruby is still staring at the Sea Mine, "But why did you bring this here? I mean, it's deactivated, right?"

Ryan nods, "Yeah, but you never know when a giant Grimm or some other kind of threat might show up. It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it."

Jaune looks at Ryan with a mix of awe and concern, "You really do have a lot of firepower. Are you planning to take down an entire army or something?"

Ryan chuckles, "No, I just like being prepared for anything. Plus, it's a hobby of mine to collect and customize weapons."

Weiss looks at Ryan skeptically, "I don't think you should be treating weapons like a hobby, Ryan. They are tools meant for protection and defense, not something to be collected and customized for fun."

Ryan nods, "I understand that, Weiss. I take the responsibility of owning these weapons seriously. But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy them as well."

Yang then jokingly says, "What's next? You gonna tell us you also have a Tank and a Missile Launcher?" She chuckles as some of the others do.

Ryan with an honest face says, "Yeah I do. My mom and I made them."

Everyone's jaws dropped in shock. "You made a tank and missile launcher?" Weiss asked incredulously.

Ryan nods, "Yeah, my mom and I used to build stuff in our spare time. She's a retired Huntress turned weapons designer, so we had access to a lot of materials."

Yang whistled in admiration, "That's pretty impressive, Ryan. Maybe you can show us sometime?"

Ryan nods with a smile, "Sure, I'd love to."

Nora then saw a M32 Grenade Launcher.

Nora's eyes widen with excitement as she picked up the M32 Grenade Launcher. "Oh, this is so cool!" she exclaimed, looking at it with admiration. "Do you mind if I try it out sometime?" she asked Ryan with a grin.

Ryan chuckled, "Sure thing, Nora. Just make sure to use it in a safe and appropriate place," he replied.

Ren shook his head, "Nora, please don't encourage him," he said, but with a small smile.

Ruby, who had been quiet for a while, spoke up. "Ryan, why do you have all these weapons?" she asked curiously.

Ryan took a deep breath before answering, "Well, my family has a long history of military service. My great-grandfather fought in the Great War and my grandfather served in the Vale Army during the Faunus Rights Revolution. My father was a Huntsman and he taught me everything I know. He also taught me to be prepared for anything, and having access to these weapons gives me a sense of security," he explained.

The others nodded, understanding where he was coming from. They may not have agreed with his methods, but they respected his choices.

Ruby then saw the Sniper Rifles and then The M82A1 Barrett .50 BMG.

Ruby's eyes widened as she saw the M82A1 Barrett .50 BMG. "Whoa, that's a beast of a sniper rifle!" she exclaimed, looking at Ryan in awe. "I've always wanted to try using one of those!"

Ryan chuckled, "Well, you can't use that one, it's a little too powerful for you. But I do have some other sniper rifles you could try out on the shooting range."

Ruby nodded excitedly, "That would be awesome! Thanks, Ryan!"

Ryan took notice of Yang eyeing the shotguns. She then picked one up and it was the AA-12 and asked what it is.

Ryan replied, "That's the AA-12, or the Automatic Shotgun. It's a fully automatic shotgun capable of firing 300 rounds per minute. It's perfect for taking down groups of Grimm quickly." He then took out a similar shotgun and showed it to Yang. "I have another one too," he said with a small smile.

Weiss then saw one weapon that made everyone turn and look, "IS THAT A DAMN MINIGUN?!?!?!"

Ryan nodded, "Yep, M134 Minigun. It's a six-barreled rotary machine gun, firing up to 6,000 rounds per minute. It's a favorite of mine." He said with a grin. The others were stunned at the sheer size and power of the weapon.

Jaune then asked if he has a license and permits for both firearms and explosives.

Ryan went to his desk and pull out large documents of both licenses and permits for both the firearms and explosives.

All signed and stamped by Vale, Atlas, Vacuo and Mistral.

Jaune was surprised to see the amount of paperwork, "Wow, you really covered all your bases, didn't you?" he said, looking through the documents.

Ryan nodded, "I had to, considering the amount of firepower I have. I didn't want to run afoul of the law."

Weiss looked over his shoulder at the paperwork, "It looks like everything is in order. You certainly did your due diligence."

Ryan smiled, "Thank you. I take my responsibilities very seriously, especially when it comes to the safety of others."

The others nodded in agreement, impressed by Ryan's attention to detail and commitment to safety.

It was then that everyone notice that the only melee weapon Ryan has is a knife.

"Not to be rude, but why do not have any other melee weapons besides that knife?" Asked Pyrrha.

Ryan thought about it and said, "Required a lot of paperwork then the firearms and too much of a hassle. No offense."

Pyrrha nodded in understanding, "I see. Well, as long as you have some form of defense up close, that's what matters." Ryan smiled and thanked her for understanding.

Nora and Ruby saw the grenades even Weiss. Weiss picked one and accidentally pulls the safety pin. Ryan saw this and held Weiss' hand so she doesn't let go of the Safety Lever.

"Careful, Weiss," Ryan said as he carefully guided her to put the safety pin back in place. "Those are live grenades, and one wrong move could be disastrous."

Weiss nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed for her mistake. "Sorry about that," she said sheepishly.

"It's okay," Ryan reassured her. "Just be careful, okay?"

The group then continued to look at the various weapons and ammunition that Ryan had in his collection, each of them amazed by the sheer amount of firepower he had at his disposal.

Blake then notice a crate that says 'Non-Lethal'. And pulls out a TASER X26P.

Ryan nods and explains, "Yeah, I have a few non-lethal options in case we need to subdue someone without killing them." He then points to another crate labeled 'Tranquilizers' and adds, "I also have some tranquilizer darts and guns, though I hope we never have to use them."

Nora with a happy face mentions that her semblance allows electricity or lightning to make her stronger. Meaning if she gets hit with a taser it'll boost her strength.
