( I have a feeling this will be a long one.)

The last week of the month ended in a flash with some nothing new happening. Y/N got acquainted with the rest of Beacon Staff, primarily, Doctor Oobleck, Professor Port and Professor Peach. Y/N knew what each subject the professors was teaching at, Oobleck will handle history and geography, a bit of Math and Science. Port is Grimm Studies, Social Studies, and Herbalist, and Peach is Weapon and Engineering. While he may not have 'seen' Professor Peach and was only mentioned once, he was very thankful he can communicate her.

When he first met Peach, he was speechless about her existence and wondered deeply about her appearance, at all. A person like her deserves more than just a mention in one episode only, makes him wonder what the writers in RoosterTeeth were thinking. Peach held a serious air around her, like Glynda, but when it comes to her job and profession she shined her brightest. It seems she's the Head Mechanic of Beacon Tower and manages all technical problems it has.

Her Semblance {Zoom}, allows her to see details too small for the naked eye, making her the perfect mechanic.

Y/N is seen walking towards Ozpin's Office up the top of Beacon Academy when he met the engineer fixing the elevator's control button. "Professor Peach."

Peach stopped her tinkering as she looked behind her to see Y/N. "Ah, Mr. L/N. How are you doing?" Her British accent sounded through the lobby as it goes well with her overall outfit of a scientist.

"Doing great Professor. Its that time of the year again."

"Yearly stocking? But that's not until June. Are you sure you ain't losing more than your past?" Peach lightly teased as she finished her fixing and closed the panel.

Laughing at the light joke, Y/N shook his head. "Not what I meant. The new students are gonna come soon, it's time for you to shine."

During Y/N's 1 month stay at Beacon, he has already become good friends with most of the teachers. Ozpin had already told them about his condition so there were no hard feelings about it. Peach was the most intrigued about it since not only did the young man just suddenly appear one day, he somehow created a magnificent piece of work.

The moment she saw Creed, Peach had asked Y/N about it. From his idea and his level of proficiency to craft such intricate design. Y/N gave his answer to 'Got it from a video game. It always looked so cool.' and Peach backed off of him. But that didn't stop her. Anytime Y/N wanted a new weapon, he was to go to Peach to see him work.

"Oh, yes. New faces, same weapons. But aren't you exaggerating a bit?" Peach crossed her arms as she leaned to the side of the panel. "You forget that I handle situations like these all the time."

"Alright, if you say so. I'll get your paper bag ready." Y/N laughed a bit when she blushed heavily about that. "Well, see you later, Professor."

Y/N walked in the elevator and pushed the button to the top floor, leaving Peach to herself. "You better..."

Y/N had equipped himself with Anubis and Icaros as well as Creed since all students have to bring their weapon at Initiation. It may look weird to see a student geared to the teeth but when attending a combat school like Beacon, it was the norm here.

The dinging of the elevator reminded Y/N where he was and walked out. On the far side of the room were Ozpin and Glynda looking stern as always, Y/N noticed and put his own as well by crossing his arms. "You called, Headmaster."

Ozpin seemed to notice Y/N's presence and eased his nerves. "Yes. This is a grave matter for you."

That seemed to add nervousness to the tense atmosphere. "Wh-Why? I'm not going to Beacon?" He was this close to initiating his plan and he wasn't going to let it burn now.

Shaking his head very fast, Ozpin stopped the wild mind from assuming more. "No, no. It's not that, you are still going to Beacon, there is no problem there." That seemed to calm Y/N down but Ozpin held a 'but' there. "Glynda, if you would."

She nodded as she took her Scroll and pressed on it. The windows on Ozpin's office closed with shutters and the door to the elevator dinged red, implicating a shutdown.

"When we were monitoring the Emerald Forest for tomorrow, something caught our eye," Glynda explained as she pressed on her Scroll again and, from the floor projected a holographic topography of Emerald Forest. "A Beringel made its territory off the west and is expanding at an alarming rate." A red circle appeared at the left of the forest and started expanding to the ruins shown. "By the next morning, during Initiation, it would have made its way to the ruins and thus endangering the students."

"Can't you send professional Huntsmen to kill it? Why would you tell me this?" Y/N asked as he would've figured Ozpin could have sent a team of Huntsmen and Huntresses to neutralize the threat.

"Because the Council will revoke your student ID and thus, expelling you from Beacon," Ozpin said with regret in his voice. Y/N turned his head to Ozpin and expected an answer. "It seems someone overheard your situation and told it to the Council of Vale. They confronted me about it and I defended your point by showing them the video." Y/N's eyes widen at the betrayal Ozpin did but nodded along. "I hope you can forgive me, Y/N."

'So, they decided to act now.' Y/N knew who the Council was, a bunch of stuck ups who think they can make any decision and claim it 'For the Better of Vale' but they were just a bunch of crooks. Sighing to himself, he faced Ozpin. "I do." Ozpin looked at Y/N with surprise and he continued. "I don't know who the Council is but if they managed to corner you Oz, then I'm sure you had your reasons. Just tell me next time."

That put a smile on Ozpin's face. "Thank you, I'll be sure to repay you. Anyway, the Council wanted to test your strength alone so they decided this." He pointed at the red circle and Y/N knew what he was getting at.

"Kill the Beringel to get accepted to Beacon during Initiation." Glynda and Ozpin wore a grave expression on their faces as they can't do anything about it.

"And if I fail?"

"..."

A tense silence washed over that room as Y/N got the message. He will be terminated either from the Council or the Grimm. A sigh escaped from his mouth when he saw his options.

Thinking it about more, Y/N knew his choice. "I'll do it." Ozpin and Glynda looked at Y/N like he had grown a second head. "There's no other choice for me. I'm pretty sure that if I decline, they would just throw a tantrum and pressure you guys next."

"WHAT!?" Glynda screamed with surprise. "Do you know what you just said? If you take on this mission, you will be fighting the Grimm without help."

"Then it's a good thing I'm prepared." Gesturing to his weapons, he turned to Ozpin. "I need to earn everyone's approval other than just a recommendation. Let me take care of this, Ozpin. Please." During the 1 month time, Y/N felt mostly guilty of what made him enroll here. Sure, he did fight to near-death against a sizable horde of Grimm and won but he couldn't help his heart, telling him to do more than that and earn his place.

Ozpin closed his eyes and sighed loudly, he took off his glasses and opened his eyes to Y/N with a serious expression. "Know this, if we attempt to help at all, then the Council will consider that as a fail.  Will you still accept?" Were it not for that specific rule, Ozpin can just assign a team of Huntsmen to help Y/N.

Seeing Y/N nod to it, he gave a small smile. "I promise to make this up to you." And with that, Ozpin deactivated all the shutters and opened the elevator. "Now then..." Ozpin stood from his seat and walked to the elevator, along with Glynda. Y/N walked by his side as well when they went to the door. "I shall start preparing my speech, do come to listen."

"Sure thing Ozpin." Even if he accepted the job, Y/N couldn't help but feel a bit anxious about dealing with a massive Grimm like that. He just hopes it all goes well.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Exiting the elevator, Y/N bid Ozpin and Glynda farewell. Walking to the loading docks, he saw the sillohoute of a red and a white figure, his eyes widen as he remembered of what will happen next and ran towards them. Sure, they were unharmed from it and did not explode to the clliff and plunging them to the eternal depth, he wanted his first impressions a good one.

When he went there, Y/N saw the white figure shaking Fire Dust on Ruby's nose. Running towards her, Ruby almost sneezed an explosion that day were it not for Y/N.

Putting a finger below her nostrils, Ruby stopped sneezing and looked to see what stopped her. "Y-Y/N?" Smiling at her, Y/N stared at the figure before Ruby.

Her oldest sister, Winter couldn't inherit the name since she decided to enroll in the Atlas Academy and become a Specialist and her brother is too young to be able to do anything. Weiss felt her whole life in a cage and so she went to Beacon to escape it, training from a young age from her sister, Weiss is quick to the draw and expertly uses her Glyphs to overturn the battlefield.

"What seems to the problem here?" Y/N asked Weiss as she sealed the Fire dust and put it away. His voice seemed deeper to sound more intimidating.

"Well, this dunce here, tried to blow us away from her crash earlier." Y/N glanced to the side and saw butlers picking up her luggage by the dozen. "If it weren't for you, we would be well on our way to our deaths right now."

"I see. Well, I am sorry for my friends' mistake. Can you please forgive her, you stuck up princess?" Y/N remarked on her attitude which made Weiss blush in anger.

"How dare you-"

"It's Heiress, actually." Another voice came in from the side and out came a black-themed girl. "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company and one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." Saying all that, Weiss looked smug as she felt someone finally noticed her. While doing that, Y/N gave a quick glance at the girl to use {Observe} on her.

NAME: Blake Belladonna

TITLES: Feline Ninja, Former WF, Daughter of the Chief

WEAPON: Variant Ballistic Chain Scythe {Gambol Shroud}

SEMBLANCE: Shadow

FIGHTING STYLE: Experienced

INFO: Daughter of the Chieftain, Blake Belladonna always wanted to change the humans perspective of the Faunus, a type of people with animal characteristics. From an early age, she participated in all of the White Fang rallies to give them a chance to be treated equally among all humans. But when the White Fang had a change of leaders, they started to become dangerous. Heist takings and target killings, Blake had done them all at the thought it was working but it worked the opposite end. Blake left the White Fang to become a Huntress as an image for all Faunus like her, wanting a change.

"Thank you for that." Weiss smugly said as she huffed her chest in ignorance. But Blake wasn't done yet.

"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partner." That made Weiss stutter in embarrassment and red in the face.

"Wha- How dare you- The nerve of such...URGHH!!!" She stomped on her foot in annoyance and left from the group, her helpers following close by.

'Where did those guys go to? Best guess, back to the Manor.' Y/N thought as he glanced at Blake since she was already on the move.

"I promise I'll make this up to you," Ruby shouted at Weiss but acted as though she didn't hear it. "I guess I'm not the only one having a rough day..." But then she glanced at Blake. "So, what's..." Only for her words to die out since she already left. "Welcome to Beacon."

"Oh, it ain't so bad." She then snapped her head to Y/N as he was standing there the whole time. "Spend enough time in a place like this and you're bound to become friends." Ruby felt better thanks to Y/N. She didn't know why but whenever she talked to Y/N, he could make her feel better. "Hello, Ruby."

"H-Hi, Y/N." Ruby looked away from Y/N as she said it, her heart thumping a million times a minute. "I didn't know you were gonna attend Beacon."

"Yep. Surprised you, didn't I?" Y/N replied as he looked to see someone approaching them.

"Hey, you guys alright?" A blonde teen asked as he came towards them.

NAME: Jaune Arc

TITLES: The Arcadian Prince, Vomit Boy

WEAPON: Classic Sword W/ Shield {Crocea Mors}

SEMBLANCE: None

FIGHTING STYLE: None

INFO: Descendant and only brother of the Arc family, Jaune Arc is an aspiring Huntsman like his ancestry tree. Wanting to be a better Arc, he took off with his family heirloom to Beacon in order to be a hero. His weapon, Crocea Mors, was descended from his great grandfather from the Great War and was passed to him as next in line.

"Aren't you the one who puked on my sister's shoes?" Ruby accidentally mocked Jaune. Y/N silently laughed at the expression Jaune wore.

"H-Hey, motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on." Jaune retorted with a blush on his face. Shaking his head, the blonde decided to change the topic. "Anyway, the name is Jaune Arc, short, sweet and rolls of the tongue, ladies love it."

"Do they?" Y/N and Ruby simultaneously, both looking at each other and looking at the other way, blushing.

"W-Well, yeah. I mean, my mom always said... Never mind." Sighing dejectedly, Y/N went over and patted his shoulder.

"Hey, it's alright. Like your mom said, all you need is confidence. And a brain." Y/N smiled at the blonde knight as Jaune looked like his spirits went up.

"Thanks, I need that."

"No problem."

Ruby awkwardly shuffled her feet as she looked at Y/N walking towards her. "Now with that embarrassment cleared up, I believe we should head to the auditorium. Headmaster Ozpin should give his speech right now." Jabbing his thumb behind him, Jaun and Ruby nodded and walked alongside Y/N.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"So, uh, what kind of weapons do you guys have?" Jaune asked the two he became aquainted with as the walk there was awkward, especially since the girl is constantly staring at Y/N.

"Well, I have this." Ruby grabbed a metal box behind her and mecha-shifted it into her weapon.

"Whoa!" Jaune stepped back in fear as the point stabbed itself into the pavement. "Is that a scythe?"

Ruby smugged in revealing her weapon as she cocked the bolt-actioned sniper built-in. "Its also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle."

"A what?"

"Its also a gun." Y/N summarized what Ruby said. Knowing full well that Jaune doesn't speak nerd. "What's yours, Jaune?"

That seemed to trigger Jaune's memory and brought out his. "Oh, I've got this sword." He drew a blade from his sheath at his hip. Its blade shimmering in the sun. "Oh, and this shield." He then grabbed his sheath and it mecha-shifted into a small heater shield.

"Woah...!" Ruby sped towards Jaune as she fiddled with the shield. "So, what do they do?" After she said that, the shield mecha-shifted back into its sheath, making Jaune drop it.

"The shield gets smaller so when I get tired of carrying it, I can just... put it away." Jaune lamely explained since it was pretty obvious about it.

"And it would weigh the same, right?" Y/N asked, which just made Jaune sadder. "Don't feel bad Jaune, look." Y/N then drew his own sword from behind and lightly stabbed it on the ground. The gold shimmer glistened on the sun and as it shone brightly. "This is Anubis."

"Wow..." Ruby and Jaune were shocked at how beautiful the gold blade looked. "Wow, an ancient one-handed sword. Where did you find this?" Ruby asked as she looked at every side of the blade from tip to pommel.

"Well, you could say it was a fight of the ages." Y/N half-answered which made Ruby whine. Y/N laughed at the tease he gave and decided to give her a good one. "I based the design from one of the books I read a while back and decided to base is it around that."  Y/N then grabbed Icaros off his back and held it on his left hand, where Creed locked it in place. "This here is Icaros. I found this in an antique shop, the design looked cool so decided to give it a go. Reinforced it with iron and nickel to give a good kick and I got it magnetized on Creed."

"Whoa." Jaune was amazed and thankful for Y/N for he had a cool weapon and that he's the same as him with a taste for the classics. "Wait, Creed?"

"Uh-huh, yeah. That's cool. Who's Creed?" Ruby asked as she eyed Y/N's Gauntlet. He laughed at that bit as he sheathed both weapons and extended his left arm.

"Creed is an Adept-Dust Gauntlet." He aimed his weapon at a nearby building and fired a shot from one of the knuckles in it. "The knuckles have a built-in grappling hook that can launch me to enemies, like this." And so, Y/N shot up to the grappling hook and did a flip to land at the top. "What do you think?"

"That. Was. Awesome! Is there more? Tell me more, now." Ruby shouted at Y/N which made Y/N smirk. Shooting near them, Y/N shot to themselves and landed safely, the wire retracted back into the Gauntlet. Turning his arm to the underside to show the underside of the Gauntlet, Y/N opened a compartment to see a small canister.

"This is the Dust compartment which allows me to control various Dust and do a few things with it." And so, he inserted an Ice Dust in it which made it glow light blue. He opened the palm towards the sky and activated it. "Like this, [Bufula]!" Several sharp icicles appeared around Creed which then fired at terminal velocity, launching them away from Beacon and into the sea. "What do you think?" Y/N smiled at the duo as they both had their mouths wide open. "What?"

"How?..." One word escaped Ruby's mouth. Y/N was confused as to what she said and moved closer.

"Sorry, say that again?"

She then used her Semblance to get into Y/N's face with her eyes sparkling. "Howdidyouevedothat?! Howdidyoumakethatspecificshape? Thatwassocoolonhowyoudidthat, didyoumakethatallbyyourself, didyou?" And thus, her infamous speed talking is showing. Y/N recoiled from her sudden contact by stepping back a bit.

"Whoa, easy there." Y/N said as Ruby stopped rambling and blushed at showing her childish side to Y/N. He then looked at his watch as he looked at Ruby and Jaune. "I'd love to tell you more but the ceremony is about to start. Come on." And so, Y/N ran ahead.

"Hey, wait up." Jaune followed suit as well as Ruby.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Inside the auditorium, Y/N, Ruby and Jaune were glad that it didn't start yet. Ruby waved them goodbye since she saw Yang a couple chairs forward. Jaune was a little sad that Ruby left.

"Great, where am I supposed to find a nice and quirky girl to talk to now." Not noticing a certain champion behind him with her hands on her heart.

'Come on already. Get the hint, you dunce.' Y/N internally commented about the Arkos ship but let it slide. For now. "Well, since I got nowhere to be I'll just be here."

Jaune then fake cried to Y/N's shoulder, feeling rather grateful for him being here. Y/N rolled his eyes from him and they both walked to the crowd of people and stood there. Jaune groaned and set his face on his hands. "What am I gonna do now? Do you think I'll meet someone like her?"

Y/N made a slight shake from his head and gave his answer. "Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? Just be ready for anything, alright?"

Jaune looked at Y/N for a moment before smiling a bit. "Yeah, I'll do that. Just wish Vomit Boy was like you."

"Don't be like that on the first day. You only just got here, just be yourself and make a good impression. Also..." Y/N looked around him and whispered into Jaune's ear. "If it ain't showing, it ain't worth it."

Jaune turned his head sideways as he looked at Y/N, confusingly. "Huh?"

"Trust me." A sudden cough caught everyone's attention as they all looked at the center of the auditorium.

Ozpin was there, standing behind the microphone with his cane beside him. Y/N decided to tune out his speech since he had already heard it before so may as well check his {Inventory}

{INVENTORY}

$50,000

{[Charge]}, {[Focus]}, {[Heat Riser}]

11 Skill Point

(Blueprint)

[Soma x2], [Bead]

Destiny Spear, Grimoire {[UNDERLEVELED]} (Minimum: Learn Megidola), Wooden Sword x5, Wooden Shield x2

...

{Maragi x2}, {Mazio x1}, {Mabufu x4}

Z-Target, Enduring Soul

Steel Armour

During his training, Y/N has come to the conclusion that enemies that spawn in {ID Create} can drop items and those items are either health-restoring potions or {Skill Cards}, maybe some armor but that came when he defeated a very strong Alpha Beowulf so chances of it happening again are unlikely soon.

That was when one of the {Skill Cards} that the Grimm dropped was an ultra-rare one. The passive ability to recover after every battle, useful after a very hard fight. Y/N was very glad he had this learned as he continued to grind till his {Mana} was exhausted. Sure, he got a few useless stuff like the weapons but he has plans for them, if not then maybe he can use them for better training.

But will all that grinding and fighting, Y/N can only use {Megido}. He will have to work twice as hard to get that Grimoire. He can't tell why but he feels as if this specific item will be useful.

Dismissing the pop-up, he looked at his side and expected to see Jaune but he didn't. Confused, Y/N looked around the auditorium and saw the blonde knight... walking to Ruby, Weiss, and Yang. 'Aw, crap.' Shaking his head at Jaune's naivety, Y/N stood from his seat and walked to where the students were converging.

Not noticing the conversation and him as the subject.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Shortly after Ruby departed from her friends, she walked over to Yang and... "HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME?!"

Yang recoiled from Ruby's outburst and laughed it off. "Sorry Rubes, but as your big sister, I have to help you get friends."

"I'm not like you Yang. I can't just make friends like killing Grimms if it was then I would have made... a bazillion friends right now." Ruby pouted her cheeks and turned away from Yang.

The blonde brawler laughed at Ruby's child-like analogy as she side-hugged her sister. "Hey, come on. I'm sorry, at least you made a few friends, right?"

Ruby grumbled under her breath from her sisters' hug but succumbed to it. "Fine, I forgive you and yes, I made a few friends after you ditched me."

"Oh, who are they?"

Before Ruby can explain, Weiss made herself known from behind her. "YOU!"

Scarred for her life, Ruby did what every 15 years old would do. Cling to their older sibling like a life vest. "AH! It's happening again!"

"You're lucky your boyfriend was here if he wasn't then we would have been exploded to the cliff." Weiss scolded Ruby as she continued to hide behind her big sister. Yang became intrigued by Ruby's 'boyfriend' and wanted answers.

"Wait... Boyfriend?" Yang turned to her little sister with an accusing glare. Ruby was red as her cape, which she used to cover her face.

"I-Its not what you think. Y/-Y/N isn't.... um... he isn't my...." Each word that uttered out of her mouth, she just blushed harder with steam coming out of her cape.

Yang was highly suspicious of her 'boyfriend' since she wasn't told anything about him. She crossed her arms and stared at Ruby for a moment longer.

"Well, if that is all you have to say, take this." Weiss 'somehow' produced a pamphlet and lent it to Yang. She took it from her as she turned heels away from them but Yang placed a hand on her shoulder and gripped it, tight.

"Listen, I think we both came off on the wrong foot. Why don't we try again? Ruby?" Ruby came out of her 'cave' and walked over to Weiss.

"Y-Yeah. Hello Weiss, I'm Ruby. Want to hang out?" Ruby gave her hand to Weiss, expecting a handshake.

But Weiss has had enough of this idiocy and childish nonsense. "Yeah, and we can paint our nails, try on clothes and talk about cute boys. Like tall, blonde and scraggly over there." Weiss jabbed her over finger behind her, conveniently there was Jaune, overhearing everything.

Yang looked behind her and saw Vomit Boy and a black-haired individual with (Clothes are your choice.) looking quite bored. His weapons were at his back and his arms were crossed, revealing his Gauntlet on his left hand.  Yang also couldn't help how serious his face looked and blushed at how cool it looked. Even her heart was a flutter when she saw him. Yang has summarized that the raven-haired individual is Y/N, Ruby's boyfriend. 'Your good. But I'll be the judge of that.'

Ruby was a bit hopeful when Weiss pointed at Jaune and was excited at the motion. "Really?"

"......NO."

A sudden cough caught everyone's attention as they all swiveled their heads to the center, seeing Ozpin with a mic.

(Not gonna put his speech here. Pretty sure we've all heard it before already.)

After Ozpin gave his speech, Glynda came to the mic. "You will gather in the Ballroom tonight. Tomorrow will be Initiation, be ready. Dismissed." And left as quickly as she announced, following Ozpin closely.

"He seemed, kinda off," Yang commented at Ozpins' speech. Feeling a bit iff on how he pronounced all the new blood.

"Its almost like he wasn't there," Ruby added with Yangs' statement.

Just as the trio were about to leave. "I'm a natural blonde, you know."

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Nighttime has already fallen on Beacon, the mojority of students were at the ballroom either getting ready for bed or doing a few last minute stuff. Many of the male body were shirtless, flexing on thier hard earned muscles to impress the ladies while others are just enjoying their nights, reading.

Ruby was laying on her stomach wearing her pajamas, writing on a journal. Beside her was an open bed, that was taken by Yang in her sleepwear. "It's like a big slumber party." Yang excitedly chuckled as she eyed the shirtless boys. Growling in response.

"I don't think dad would approve of all the boys here," Ruby said since she didn't take her eyes of her journal.

Y/N made an appearance, wearing a white shirt with jogging pants. Yawning, he walked over the pile of boys showing off, not even noticing their stares.

Well, who could blame them? Weeks of grinding and training made Y/N's body the envy of all boys and in the dreams of adolescent women. His buff physique made his muscles bulge on his tight white shirt and his long but thick legs made a sound each time he walked by. Truly, a remarkable specimen. A specimen not noticing how great he looks.

Yang looked at Y/N with a shocked look and blushed, very hard and grinned at the sight. "Hey, Rubes. Look."

Ruby looked up from her journal and saw...

...

...

...

"...Ruby?" Yang checked on her sister and saw she was passed out. Her silver eyes gone white and her posture stuck on looking at Y/N. She waved her hand on her face, seemingly getting no reaction from her at all.

Meanwhile, Y/N found a spot on a corner and decided to do some reading. Grabbing Scroll, he checked online on blueprints for a better weapon. True, Anubis and Icaros were great weapons but they clashed styles on their appearance. So, after Initiation, Y/N will go to Peach and ask her assistance for it. Another thing he checked was the map of the Emerald Forest.

'Where are you?' Swiping along his Scroll, he found his target. 'Gotcha. Big boy, aren't you?' A towering 12' ape, with black fur and a white skull, was seen making a nest near the canopy of trees. Resting. Y/N double-tapped on his screen, making a marker on that specific location. Y/N knew Initiation starts at 10:00 AM so hopefully, the Grimm will still be asleep by then.

Putting away his Scroll, he opted to go to sleep. Not noticing another conversation about him.

_______________________________________________________________________________

As Y/N was checking his Scroll, Yang was... being Yang. "So, where did you meet Y/N?" Yang wanted all the details, how they first met, how Ruby knows him and how she feels about him. Being a big sister puts a lot of trust in your siblings, especially to cute ones. So, if Y/N had no strange intentions on Ruby or did something to her then he's fine on her book.

Ruby started blushing on the first time she met him. A kind stranger helping a little girl like her and had a very cool face to go, Ruby thought Y/N was a Huntsman with how dressed and deep his voice was and when she saw him at school she thought the whole world was doing her a favor. He wasn't even creeped out with her weird obsession with weapons and gladly showed them off with her. His weapons were a mix of classic and modern, something Ruby can appreciate with how complex each weapon was.

"U-uh, well... Remember that time when you went to a club?"

"Yeah? I was surprised when I saw you. I thought I went out in secret?" Yang replied, looking over Y/N. "That's how you met him?"

"Y-Yeah. I got lost when I followed you and found Y/N. He was helpful and nice." It may have been a small interaction, but ever since that ask for help, Y/N was on her mind. She really wanted to hear his laugh more.

Yang nodded along with Ruby and decided to try something. She got up and walked straight to Y/N. 'Wa-Wait, Yang. What are you doing?" She didn't listen and went to Y/N.

Yang saw Y/N was about to sleep but didn't let him. "Hey." Her voice filled with seriousness as she glared at Y/N. "Get up."

Looking at the blonde brawler, Y/N rubbed his eyes tiredly at her. "Yes, can I help you?" While Y/N may look confident, he was freaking out inside. If Yang was talking to him with a voice like that then he must have done something wrong. Playing along, he wanted to get to the bottom of this.

"Yeah, heard you know my sister." She jabbed a thumb at Ruby who was at the sidelines. "Let me ask you one thing and one thing only..." She then grabbed his shirt and, with a lot of effort, lifted him up to eye level. "...Who is Ruby to you?"

Y/N blinked in confusion as to what Yang just said but then remembered something. Yang is upset that a sudden guy was just decided to become her boyfriend and is probably sizing him up. So, with a neutral face, he put his hands on hers and answered. "A good sister."

Yang was taken back to what this guy was saying. A guy with a hunk of a body and a voice too good to be true just looked at Ruby with kindness. It was too good to be true.

"Excuse me?"

Y/N smiled a bit as he looked at Yang's lilac eyes. "I helped Ruby because she was looking for you, Yang. Who am I to disrupt a meeting between sisters?" It was a good answer, even from him. Y/N knew better than to separate a bonding between family, he has seen enough from {Akame Ga Kill}.

Setting himself down, she blushed a bit in embarrassment. "Hehe, sorry about that. I just wanted to keep her safe, you know?"

A light chuckle came from Y/N as he looked at Ruby with worry in her eyes. "Yeah, I feel you. Ruby has such a wonderful sister. She's lucky to have a big sis like you." Ruby sighed in relief as the fight between her two favorite people didn't start fighting.

Yang immediately grinned as she lightly punched Y/N in the chest. "Don't I know it. Your pretty cool, Y/N. I'll be watching you, handsome." With that, she left with Ruby. Swaying her butt along the way.

A sigh was let out from his mouth as he walked back to his corner. 'Jeez, what a day.' And now, he has truly had the right to sleep.

Morning came to Beacon as the air around it was tense. The many freshmen of Beacon Academy were at the Weapon Locker room, gearing themselves up for the Initiation. Seeing so many kids with confidence looks and nervous actions made Y/N shake his head. He knew it was inevitable to stop the Grimm because if they didn't exist then Remnant would be the same as Earth, only with Dust and Aura.

Rolling his eyes, Y/N went to his locker, 870, and opened it. Anubis was fitted into its sheathe and Icaros was laying next to it. Creed was hanging from a hanger just waiting for its master to use him. Grinning, Y/N first grabbed Creed and put it on, the glove snuggly fit into his hand. Getting its Dust, Y/N put them around his belt, making sure each of them was ready at a moment's notice. Anubis and Icaros were next, put on his back, adjusting the belt strap to be comfortable and loose. Y/N may have killed hundreds of Grimm with them but it was time to get a new set.

USER WILL NOW DISCARD 'Icaros' AND 'Anubis'. CONTINUE?

'Guess even the {System} has felt pity for me.' Closing the pop-ups, Y/N checked for anything he missed but then he remembered about his armor so walking to a corner, he materialized it. Better safe than sorry.

Slipping them on, Y/N felt better knowing his defense will be covered. He removed the left bracer to make Creed fit more snugly and so with nothing to do, he walked onwards.

Y/N walked towards the exit when he saw Ruby and Yang chatting, deciding to be friendly Y/N went to them. "Morning you two."

They both turned their heads to Y/N and smiled at him. "Morning, Y/N."

"Morning.~"

They both looked at my armor and gave their own expressions. Ruby slightly blushed while Yang nodded. "Nice suit."

"Thanks. Had it made so I don't kill myself." Y/N replied.

"Wow, you look like a knight," Ruby commented thoughtlessly.

"Really?" Y/N asked as he looked at himself, grinning at the thought. "Then my fair maiden should be close as well."

Ruby then blushed at what Y/N said since she imagined herself as the princess. Yang as well but took it in pride. "Well, I hope to be this maiden of yours.~ My knight in shining armor.~"

Y/N simply rolled his eyes as he eyed Ruby's weapon. "Ready to get started, Ruby?"

The Red Reaper shook her head as she stroked Cresent Rose in its stationary form. "Yep! No more small talk or 'Getting-To-Know-You' stuff. Today, I get to let my sweetheart do the talking."

Y/N smiled at her enthusiasm. "And remember Ruby, you're not the only one going to Beacon."

"Yeah, I mean, if you wanna grow up then you have to learn how to meet and greet new people," Yang finished since being alone is inevitable. Especially at Beacon.

Ruby groaned at the two and opened her locker. "You sound like dad." She then shoved Cresent Rose inside, closed it and looked at Yang. "Okay, first of all: What does new people have to do with fighting?"

'The entire idea of friendship and trust?' Y/N thought to himself. When doing something new or big, it's best if you contact everyone so that they will help you.

"And secondly: I don't need people to grow up. I drink milk!" Ruby finished as she looked satisfied with her answer. Yang sighed at her sisters' explanation and tried another way to get Ruby to 'break out of her shell'.

"She doesn't mean it like that Ruby." But Y/N beat her to the punch. "Growing up is another way for you to be a better person. Think of it this way, with more people you can help them with their weapons and they will help you in fighting Grimm."

"But, I can do all of that..." Ruby countered but Y/N was prepared.

"Can you fight a Goliath on your own? Or a Nevermore? People are needed since you need them, and they need you. A solo hunter can get you far but as a team, you can be at the top." Y/N finished as he put a hand on her shoulder. "Do not be afraid to call on others for help. They won't when they need yours."

Ruby looked at Y/N for a moment before smiling brightly. She opened her locker, grabbed Cresent Rose and sped ahead of the two. Yang laughed a bit. "You know, if you weren't here, I would've guessed you are a second year. Or a Hunstman with how you talked."

Y/N chuckled lightly as he walked on. "Guess I have that effect on people. Come on, we don't want Ruby to go on ahead, that would be-"

"Ridiculous!"

Yang and Y/N looked ahead and saw Jaune/Vomit Boy in front of a locker. Holding a... map? "There's no way I put my gear in Locker 636 yesterday! I would have remembered to count that high!" Sighing dejectedly, Jaune pressed on. "Why does this have to happen today?"

Mentally facepalming, Y/N walked to where Jaune is. "Looking for something?" Yang went further to where Ruby is, leaving the two boys alone.

Jaune looked at Y/N as if he had the answer to everything. "Y/N! Thank Oum you are here. You have to help me. I can't find my weapon."

Y/N looked at the various lockers around him and found an isle with a tag. "I think over there is where you can find it. It's pretty easy to find it since all you have to do is count up."

Looking at where Y/N was looking, Jaune saw it as well. "Oh, right. Thanks." And so he left.

Nodding at his success, Y/N turned around and accidentally bumped into someone. "Sorry about that."

"Sorry? SORRY?!" Weiss suddenly appeared behind the person and walked up to Y/N. "Do you have any idea who you bumped into?" The Heiress asked at the buffoon, expecting him to kneel on the ground and grovel.

"Yeah, I do." His tone otherwise, Weiss was expecting an apology. "The person whom I just bumped into." But the answer just made her more furious.

"First, you interfere with your girlfriends' struggle and now you don't know who Pyrrha is?!" Weiss looked at Y/N like he was a caveman. "Ugh, I don't even know why Beacon decided to let you in."

And before the argument can resume, a red-haired girl stopped Weiss. "Now, now. I'm sure it was an accident." She then turned to Y/N and bowed. "I'm sorry about that."

Shaking his head, Y/N sighed. "I don't have any beef with you so, I'll be on my way." But not before {Observe}-ing her.

{OBSERVE}

NAME: Pyrrha Nikos

WEAPON: {Xiphos with Dipylon} Miló and Akoúo̱ 

SEMBLANCE: Polarity {Magnetism}

FIGHTING STYLE: Gladitorial

INFO: A prodigy in combat, Pyrrha Nikos was thought to be the legendary Huntress-In-Training. Her unrivaled skill in combat made her enemies revel in her glory, her looks could make everyone turn their heads and her fame was sought out by many companies. Under her strict parents, Pyrrha trained with the best money can buy and quickly rose to fame as a promising prodigy.

"But I got some beef with you.~" Jaune cooly stated as he slides behind Weiss. He leaned on a locker as he tried to woo her. "Jaune Arc, nice to meet you."

Y/N shook his head at the poor display Jaune was trying since Weiss wasn't at all impressed. "Nice to meet you, Jaune." But Pyrrha was.

Knowing all of this, Y/N went to a nearby restroom and waited for an announcement.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

[Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for Initiation? I repeat, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff for Initiation immedietly.]

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Walking outside, Y/N saw Jaune hanging at a piller with a spear embedded on his hoodie.  Weiss passing him and Pyrrha grabbing Miló and making Jaune drop to the floor. "It was nice meeting you." She said as Miló shifted back to a Xiphos and sheathed.

Sighing, Y/N walked to where Jaune was and helped him get to his feet. "You alright?"

Shaking his head, getting a no, Jaune sighed. "I don't get it, my dad said all women look for is confidence. Where did I go wrong?"

"'Snow Angel' probably wasn't the best start." Y/N turned around and saw Yang and Ruby. "Where were you, Y/N? Ruby was looking all over for you."

He took a quick glance at Ruby, who was blushing in embarrassment and replied. "I was on my way to the Cliff till I noticed Jaune talking to a couple of girls. It went as you expected."

"Dude..." Jaune groaned as Y/N took a quick glance over his shoulder and Jaune put his head down. "I don't know what's wrong with me."

"Well, it's only the first day. I'm sure it will get better, Jaune." Ruby cheered him up as she grabbed Jaune's hand. "Come on, let's go."

Both of them walked towards the Cliff, leaving Y/N and Yang behind. "Hang in there, Jaune. You'll get your chance." Y/N's advice rang around the corridor, leaving but silence.

Yang took this opportunity and decided to make some small talk.  "So, Y/N. Have any siblings? What you said last night made me wonder if you have any sisters." The ability to calmly talk to girls and the way he acted around Ruby and Jaune, Yang can figure out if Y/N had some experience with his siblings since he always acts so brotherly.

Y/N glanced at Yang for a moment as he turned away from her. "I... can't remember." Y/N faked pain on his head as he swayed to the side.

Yang caught him from falling as he lifted his arm over her shoulder. "Woah there. You OK?"

"Y-Yeah. This...never happened to me before." Y/N said as he leaned on Yang for support. He then steadied himself for a moment and stood back up. "Sorry for that, I don't know what came over me."

"It's fine." Yang cooly replied as she looked at Y/N with concern. "Are you alright? Maybe you should-"

"No." Y/N stepped in as he glanced at Yang. "I want to do this. Thanks for the support."

Yang looked at Y/N with a mental note on her head to find out who is Y/N but that will come at a later time. With a small smile, she nodded. "No problem. Come on, don't want to be late."

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Standing at the last platform, Y/N did a final check on his outfit to see if any of his supplies were there. 'Dust, check. Armor, strapped. Weapons, still functional. Items, functional.' Nodding with satisfaction, Y/N looked at Ozpin. He was standing at the far right of where he was with Goodwitch beside him, holding a tablet, likely to moniter the many cameras in Emerald Forest.

"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin, somewhat, inspired everyone here.

Glynda took her turn. "Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of 'teams'. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion." She then looked at the students with a hard glare. "Each of you will be given teammates...today."

Y/N glanced at Ruby as she nodded with determination. He gave a small smirk and went back to staring at Ozpin.

Speaking of the man. "These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So, it is in your best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work well."

Ruby took a quick glance around her to see whom she knows. On her left was Yang, her arms were crossed but held a smirk. On the far left was Weiss, her negative friend was waiting prim and proper. Rolling her eyes, she glanced at the right and saw Jaune just as nervous as she was, and next to him was Y/N. Arms crossed as well and looking at Ozpin. She felt easy, knowing if she became his partner then maybe they can finish school to kill Grimm easily.

"That being said, the first partner you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next 4 years." Any hope that shined with Ruby was gone the instant Ozpin said that.

"Whaaaaaat?!"

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest." Ozpin pointed his cane to the north of the forest, Y/N already knew he was pointing since he knew thanks to his own compass. "You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path...or you will die."

Jaune audibly gulped in fear. Y/N glanced at Jaune for a moment before resuming his stare.

"You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your Initiation but our instructors will not intervene." The duo took a glance at Y/N and met their gaze. He gave a small smile and a nod which gave them a signal, saying he'll be fine. "You will find an abandoned temple at the end of your 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." Ozpin finished his introduction of Initiation and walked a bit behind. "Any questions?"

Jaune raised his hand, immediately. Expecting a notice, but none came.

"Good. Now, take your positions." Each of the students went into a pose, drawing their respective weapons.

"Uh, sir? I've got, um... a question." Weiss' catapult sprang into action, sending her far off in the Forest. "So, this landing... strategy thing...uh, wha-what is it? You're, like, dropping us off or something?"

If Ozpin can enjoy one thing during his time in Beacon, its seeing new students' reactions to Initiation. "No. You will be falling."

More students were launched to the Emerald Forest, making Jaune more nervous. "Oh, uh, I see... So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?" Entirely missing the fact that neither one of them handed out parachutes.

"No. You will be using your own 'landing strategy'. He hid his smirk when drinking coffee from his mug.

Very fearful now, not noticing a Mistralian dressed and ginger duo getting launched, Jaune practically accepted the fact, he will die. "Uh-huh, yeah..."

It was now Yang's turn to be catapulted and she wanted to do it with style. She winked at Ruby before putting on aviators and was launched. "Woooooooo-hoooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

A second later, Ruby was launched in the same way as her sister.

A moment before Jaune's, he asked his last question. "So, um, what exactly is a landing strategyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy---!" It was a moment later that he was launched with everyone else.

Lastly, it was Y/N's turn. He expected for his to go off...

...

...

...

...but it didn't. Glancing at Ozpin, he looked at Glynda as she walked towards him. "Mr. L/N. For the last time, are you ready?"

Noticing her shaking hand, Y/N nodded without hesitation. "I am."

She then looked away from him, knowing an idiot would accept so easily. Ozpin came behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. Glynda calmed down and looked at Y/N.

"The Beringal is still sleeping. We will launch you near it to make it easier to track it. Some cameras around it are viewed by the Council. Good luck."

Nodding, Ozpin gave Y/N last look before backing off. "Best of luck, Y/N. I hope your Initiation goes well."

"I hope so too, Oz. I hope so, too." And with that, his catapult sprang.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

One thing Y/N noticed when he was flyin- no, gliding with style. His spring might have been adjusted a bit since he felt the power to launch him was a bit more powerful than the others he had seen. Looking at where he was falling, he saw a familiar canopy of trees in his vision. Buffing himself with {Rakukaja}, he put Icaros in front.

Feeling his arm numbing from the pain he felt when hitting the trees and all the bark, he strayed from his path a bit and fell to the ground. His shield taking most of the damage.

Y/N stood up a bit, feeling woozy from hitting all the trees and straightened himself out. Thanking his buff, he walked forward, towards the Grimm. His compass there, telling him where it is.

When Y/N was out grinding in {ID Create}, his buffs were about 3 minutes long. Thinking about why it must be why each buff can only last 3 turns and then needed to be re-buff. If that was the case, then he will have to be quick about each fight and taking the time to buff. Thankfully, the {System} showed a timer for each buff he cast so Y/N can know if he needs a re-buff.

While walking, Y/N encountered a couple of Beowulf and Ursa but dispatched them easily. Leveling up in his own personal dungeon made Y/N quite the experienced fighter, in his own way.

Knowing the Council was watching, he moved around a bit, searching for the Beringal as though he dosen't know where it is. Y/N still needed to keep up his act so he pretends to be searching around, dispacthing Grimm by the dozen.

________________________________________________________________________________

It has been an hour but at long last, Y/N has found the Beringal.

More like, it found someone else.

When Y/N was nearing to the Beringal's location, he heard a few explosions and some screaming. Putting his instincts in overdrive, he ran towards the source. Jumping to a few trees, he jumped up and ran among the top of the canopy. When he was at the edge, he found it.

At the edge was a clearing, and at the center was the Grimm and a couple of students. Using {Observe} on the students, he noticed that they were all too inexperienced to deal with the Grimm. More like an Elder Grimm with how fast it's moving and the power of each punch.

{OBSERVE}

NAME: N/A

TITLES: Grimm, Elder Grimm

WEAPON: N/A

SEMBLANCE: N/A

FIGHTING STYLE: Rabid

INFO: A Grimm born from the Grimm pools in the Dark God's shrine. It has been living for 56 years.

Y/N watched as the Grimm took a hit from one of the students' sword before grabbing his face and smashing him on the ground before punching him towards his partner. Both of them fell towards a big tree that shook from the impact. Their aura was depleted from how it flickered brightly. The Grimm moved closer to them, sounding a roar and thumping its chest.

Gripping till white, Y/N has seen enough and decided to make his move. '{Heat Riser}' A trio of red, green and purple forming a prism around Y/N appeared. Casting {Charge}, Y/N swiftly ran to the Grimm.

The Beringal noticed Y/N and ran towards the injured students, his heavy footsteps shaking the earth. Both students saw this and tried to stand up but were frozen in fear. The Grimm roared in defiance and it grabbed a few stones to stop Y/N but he had seen it. "{Magaru}!" A few wind blades were formed around Y/N as the blades made contact with the stone, cutting them to ribbons until they were pebbles. The Grimm roared again and ran faster. The duo holding to each other tight, screaming for help.

"Help! Please!"

"Someone! Anyone!?"

"Please help us!!!"

"Mommy!"

Rolling his eyes, Y/N ran faster towards the duo. Swinging his Dust at the few stones the Beringal threw. That was when it grew smart enough to start throwing stones at the trees Y/N was in. Annoyed, Y/N used Creed to swing himself to another tree and making him go faster.

But the Grimm was smart enough to see that and hurled a huge rock at Y/N. Not expecting that, the rock hit the tree and plunged Y/N to the canopy below.

Knowing he was dead, the Beringal moved closer to the duo. Red eyes glaring at their puny spirits. It roared and thumped its chest to ascertain dominance towards the duo before raising its black fist towards them.

They both screamed and shouted at the Grimm but nothing happened, the Grimm's fist was raised to the heaven above them. And came crashing down like a meteor.

They both screamed out of their lungs, expecting death to come swiftly.

"{Cleave!}!" A sudden shout and a metal hitting flesh were heard. A wail alarmed them to look up and saw the Grimm's fist still coming towards them... and only the fist.

Its meaty hand lay dead before them, still hyperventilating of the commotion. Then they swiveled their heads to where it came and out came Y/N. "Get out, now." His voice had annoyance and seriousness in a wrapped package made them confused- "NOW!" They ran.

The Grimm roared at Y/N as it denied him the pleasure of death of a human, and the severance of his hand. Backing up a bit for fear, Y/N moved closer towards the Grimm. "You're my objective. No one else will have you. It's just you..." He pointed Anubis at the Grimm, grinning. "And me."

The Beringal roared loudly around him, the very trees shook from the tremor but Y/N wasn't phased. It went on for a couple of seconds before glaring at Y/N. From the trees around the, Y/N saw many Grimm running towards them. "You brought friends, yay. Now you can die together."

The Beringal roared at Y/N and many others. 'Beowulves, Ursa's and Deathstalkers. No problemo.' Deciding to have some fun, he grabbed his Scroll and looked for some music, not at all intimidated with the Grimm around him. 'Ah, perfect choice.'

https://youtu.be/BeVutyFHYKk

Pressing play, the music sounded everywhere. It made Y/N's head shake lightly with how classic it was. "Now, let's dance."

The Beringal roared as many Grimm closed in on him. It only made Y/N smirk.

A Beowulf was feeling lucky, a tried to take a swipe but Y/N sidestepped him. It left the Grimm tumble a bit before Y/N stabbed it on the back. Another came from behind as Y/N jumped high and dropkicked him in the back. Using the Grimm as leverage, he grappled multiple Grimm into the air and did a spiral down-slash, cutting them to ribbons and did an upward strike at the last one. Using the momentum, Y/N did a backflip and stabbed an Ursa in the head before stabbing its nape and slicing it downwards. Seeing the Grimm back up a bit, Y/N launched his hook on his left and sped towards them

The Grimm was surprised at the sudden rush and was not ready for the jump he did. "{Mazionga}" Lighting bolts hit them everywhere, shocking a few but the rest disintegrated into nothingness. Like the ones that were shocked, Y/N made quick slashes at their throats and made them disintegrate as well. Firing Creed at the ground far from him, he safely dodged a punch from the Beringal and saluted at him.

When he landed, he saw an Ursa try and crush him with its weight, he gripped Creed tightly as it glowed yellow. He then punched the Ursa with Creed, allowing the shock to discharge around it and killing it as well. Glancing around him, he put Icaros up to deflect a swipe from an Ursa and slashed at its hind legs thus making it kneel before swiping from the nape to the throat. Using the momentum, Y/N used another electric punch to hit another Ursa in the 'nuts' before slicing its face half off. Another momentum-based movement when a Beowulf lunged at him, gripping Anubis in a reversed move as he stabbed the Grimm in the head.

Fixing his footing, he took a blow from a Deathstalker's tail with Icaros before stabbing at the part connecting the pincer to the limb. The Grimm screamed in agony as Y/N tried out something. "{Garu}" He cast wind magic on the other side of the stinger and with a final push, sliced it off the Deathstalker. The Grimm walked backward from pain and Y/N ran up to it, using his shield, he bashed upwards using his shield and Creed to make the Deathstalker stand vertically straight as Y/N slashed at its exposed upwards. Dropping down, the Deathstalker fell back, killing a few Grimm.

Doing a backflip, Y/N saw an Alpha tried to slash at him which made him jump back more as it tried many times only for it to constantly miss its target. When Y/N landed, he propelled himself forward and did a thrust at the Grimms chest with Anubis and bash with Icaros, snapping its neck from the impact. Y/N jumped in the air as he held out Creed to the Alpha. "{Zio}" A single lightning bolt impacted at the chest wound, making his twitch before dying. Y/N then blocked a punch from his right to see an Ursa Major with its arm still in the same position it punched him. It roared at him as it ran towards Y/N in all fours. Y/N used Creed to grapple himself towards the Grimm and stabbed it on the back, making the Grimm stop itself as it flailed around him trying to shake him off. Using this opportunity, Y/N used the wound and made the Ursa roar in pain. Other Grimm came and try and help but they were met with a swipe from the Ursa Major. Y/N used the Ursa and try to take out as many Grimm before deciding to end its life. He plunged the sword deep enough to stop the Grimm and stabbed it on the nape.

Noticing from his left, Y/N jumped back a bit from the punch the Beringal took. Its right hand making it a handicapped situation. Y/N switched Dust from Creed; from lightning to fire. It made the Gauntlet glow red. "What's wrong? Angry because you couldn't finish me off?" Y/N taunted the raging Grimm as he readied his shield and sword. The Grimm roared in anger as it ran towards him with speed. Reading himself, Y/N wasn't expecting a punch from the injured hand and moved at the last second to steady himself. Even without a fist, Y/N felt the power of the Elder Grimm as it made him lose his footing and fly away from him.

Y/N readjusted his landing and made him fly towards a tree with his feet, instead of his back. But the Beringal closed in on him. Another punch made him go through the tree and taking another drop from his aura, he went flying at a couple of trees before it went to a clearing. He fell to the ground, losing his shield and sword as he lay on his back. Y/N groaned from the pain as he tried to sit up but it proved to be more difficult, as the pain from the Grimm was still registering to his body. Sure he can thank his body for being so dense but the pain still flared from him.

"Whoa, what the?.." A voice rang in front of him made Y/N sit up and saw Yang and Blake at the Ruins. Looking around him, Y/N saw he was where the Relic was located and the last group to be here. "Is that, Y/N?"

"Yang?" Y/N asked the blonde but was rudely interrupted by a roar atop the ruins. "Damn, not now." Y/N stood up as Creed was on his arm. "Listen, you two. There is an Elder Grimm incoming, you need too-"

"Heeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaads uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!" A scream from the sky made everyone look up to see... a falling Ruby? But before she could hit the ground, a Jaune suddenly appears from the side and hits her, unintentionally diverting their course to a couple of trees.

"Did your sister just fell from the sky?" Blake asked, not sure whether or not if it was real or the fact it happened.

"I-"

"YEEE-HAAAW!!!" A yell announced everyone to turn their heads to the side. A couple of crashes and explosions out came to the Ginger Girl... riding an Ursa.

After the Grimm took its last step, it died as Nora jumped off her 'ride'. "Awww... it's broken." Saddened by the thought, she went up to it to see its condition. Beside the corpse was the Mistralian dressed teen, looking quite tired.

"Nora!.." He heaved in heavy breaths as he tried to catch his. "Don't ever do that again..." Y/N internally smiled at the cute couple and glared at him for taking 6 Volumes to confess his love. 6!!!

NAME: Lie Ren

TITLES: The Calming Storm, Lotus, Martial Master

WEAPON: Dual Ranged Bladed SMGs {Storm Flower}

SEMBLANCE: Tranquility

FIGHTING STYLE: Martial Artist

INFO: Another survivor of Kuroyuri, Lie Ren or as his friends call him "Ren" is the embodiment of calm. Even in dangerous situations, he is always calm and collected while dishing out damage to many foes. His speed and acrobatics make him an agile fighter but his strength and endurance are befitting of his stature. His partner, Nora Valkyrie, is Ren's first and last friend he ever made from his hometown.

Not listening to Ren, Nora made a beeline to the Ruins where Blake, Yang and Y/N were and stared intensely at a Rook Piece. "Ooooohhh..." She picked up the piece with excitement and started singing. "~I'm Queen of the Castle, I'm Queen of the Castle.~"

"NORA!"

"Coming, Ren." She then put the Rook away and ran to her 'lover'.

Yang and Blake where, again, baffled of what just happened in front of them. "Did that girl just ride an Ursa?"

"I-"

Not even finishing the sentence, to the far right was a running Pyrrha. Running away from an Elder Deathstalker which tried to grab the Champion but failed in each attempt. "Jaune!"

Meanwhile, the blonde knight and the red reaper were still dizzy from that crash they did above the trees. Ruby was faster in recovering and jumps to the ground near Yang. "Ruby?"

"Yang!"

"Ruby!"

"NORA!!!" And Nora rudely interrupted the bond.

The Deathstalker still chasing Pyrrha, Blake added one last dump into the fire. "Did she just run all the way here with a Deathstalker on her tail?"

Having enough of the stupid stuff that was happening randomly, Yang exploded. Literally. "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! CAN EVERYONE JUST CHILL OUT FOR TWO SECONDS BEFORE SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPENS AGAIN?!"

...

...

... Ren then walked to the group looking tired.

...

..."So, hi Ruby." Y/N said as the 2-second timer was up. Ruby then looked to her side and saw Y/N, looking quite bruised.

"Whoa, what happened to you?" Yang asked as she looked at Y/N all tattered and battered. "You look like you were in a fight."

Laughing slightly, he looked up and saw...Weiss holding on a talon of a Nevermore. "Ruby. Is that your partner?"

Looking up as well, they all saw Weiss up in the air...with an Elder Nevermore.

"HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME?!"

"I SAID JUMP."

"Not helping, Ruby."

"She's gonna fall."

"She'll be fine."

"She's falling."

Sighing once again, he felt {Enduring Soul} healing his body and stood up. He felt the stare of Blake when he stood up. "Talk later, still in Initiation."

Breathing in...

...

...and breathing out, Y/N mentally cast {Heat Riser} once again, feeling more stares, and ran with surprising speed. Pouring most of his Aura into his legs, Y/N ran towards Weiss' landing with Creed ready. When he was close, he shot out a grappling hook to a tree and shot to Weiss.

Catching her midair, Y/N gave a small smile to the heiress. "Hello there."

Fighting off a small blush, Weiss replied. "You know we're still falling, you know."

Rolling his eyes, he twisted his body and shot towards a line of trees where he landed safely in the ground. Recalling the hook, he put down Weiss. "Drama queen."

"Hmph." She turned her back on him, "Thank you, for the save." But still gave thanks to her savior.

Nodding with her, they both ran to where the others were as they all stared at Y/N. 'Really?' Seeing Pyrrha come up to them, the group of 9 people was now at the center of attention for the Grimm.

"Great, the gangs all here! Now we can all die together." Yang tried to lighten the mood with some dark humor but no one reacted.

"Boooooo!"

"Not if-" Ruby would have finished her sentence of virtue if not for a thundering boom. "Woah, what was that?"

Y/N then scoffed at the sound as he walked to the front of the group. "Bobo."

"Bobo? Like a monkey?" A sudden shadow made everyone look up as the giant Elder Beringal jumped from above them and hovered there for a while.

"No, like an ape." The Grimm came crashing down in front of them, breaking the ground beneath them. Dust and debris picked up from the ground. Y/N had Icaros cover for him as he eyed the Grimm carefully.

The dust settled slightly and made everyone look at the center of the mini-crater the Beringal. Everyone went into shock as the sight of a giant Grimm was right there. "What the...?" The Grimm, quite intimidating, had a few scars on its arms and belly. Its right hand was missing as it stumbled a bit.

"Hello, Bobo." Y/N spoke, making everyone turn to him. "Miss me?" A roar from the Elder Grimm gave a rough answer. "Aww, I miss you too."

"Why do you know that Grimm, Y/N?" Yang asked as she shakily prepared Ember Celica.

"Because he's my ticket to Beacon." And with that answer, Y/N sped off.

"Wai-Y/N!"

The Grimm roared in anticipation as Y/N closed in on him.

Y/N shot a hook towards it and the Grimm caught it, the Beringal then pulled on the wire and made him fly to it. Y/N readjusted mid-flight and flipped above it as he shot Icaros toward it. The Beringal brought its right arm to block it and Y/N was now behind the Grimm. He called on Icaros as it slammed on the Grimm's face and made it fall backward. When Y/N tried to call on Icaros, he saw the Beringal actually bit Icaros through and chewed it. Angered at the sight, he used the magnetism of the remaining Icaros to make Y/N shot to the Grimm as he slashed at the eye, making the Grimm open its mouth and the remains of his shield lay bare on the ground. Landing away from the Beringal, Y/N saw Icaros in its form and glared angrily at the Beringal.

Y/N the ran towards the stunned Grimm but recovered quickly as it lifted its arms above its head and came careening towards the human but Y/N thought of that. So, he shot a hook to its belly and jumped to the side, evading the strike. With the hook still in the body, he felt his body swerve to his back and went up to the sky. With his left arm on his back and Anubis pointed at the Grimm, Y/N smirked at the superhero pose he did right now and grinned like an idiot.

Feeling gravity take place, he cast {Charge} and {Focus} simultaneously as he charged in the Beringal. The Grimm looked up to see the human and his weapon coming towards him and covered its head in hopes the attack deflects against its thick hide.

But no armor cannot be pierced, you just need to find the chink...

"{Koagaon!}" A bright light came shining down towards the Grimm as it felt its arms burning from the attack and its back as well. "{Ayamur!}" As Y/N closed in, two ethereal blades seemingly coming from nowhere slashed at the Beringal at its arms. It roared in pain as it kneeled and made Y/N deal the finishing blow. A slice from above its head to the ground made a slice mark as Y/N landed on the ground with a graceful bow. He felt Anubis was light and saw the blade was broken when he did the attack, making Y/N sweatdrop.

...or make the chink. The Grimm fell to the ground and Y/N looked back at the destruction it caused. Turning his head, he saw Ruby at the top of the Cliff, with the corpse of a Nevermore falling at the bottom.

Y/N walked back to where Icaros laid bare as he put Anubis there as well. A pop-up appeared.

USER WILL NOW DISCARD 'Icaros' AND 'Anubis'. CONTINUE?

Nodding, a small amount of Dust went around the ruined weapons and a small light emanated from them. Y/N closed his eyes from the brightness for a moment and he felt the brightness lower. Opening them, he saw the weapons were no more and another pop-up appeared.

USER HAS NOW GAINED 'Reforge'

Closing mentally, Y/N walked to the cliff with a head down. Feeling remorseful that his partners in death were gone.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Russle Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, Sky Lark. The four of you have retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as... Team CRDL (Cardinal), lead by... Cardin Winchester." Everyone clapped as the four individuals left the stadium with their heads way up in the clouds.

'Or up their asses.' Y/N chuckled a bit as he saw Jaune and his team go next.

"Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, and Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as... Team JNPR (Juniper), lead by... Jaune Arc." A small round of applause came from the audience and Ozpin smiled warmly at the blonde knight. "Well done, young man."

Jaune was a bit baffled by it and Pyrrha 'playfully' punched Jaune in the shoulder, pushing him to the ground. Pyrrha smiled apologetically as they left the stage as well.

"Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as... Team RWBY (Ruby), lead by... Ruby Rose."

Various reactions came from each member. Ruby was shocked, Yang was ecstatic, Weiss was surprised and Blake... hardly any reaction at all. Yang then hugged her sister up close with pride. "I'm so proud of you." Ozpin smiled at the sisters' energy as they all left the stadium. All except one.

Ruby was glad about the hug and cheered for her position to her friends, Jaune had cheered, Pyrrha had cheered, even Ren cheered but someone was missing.

"Umm, Mister Ozpin?" Ruby's voice squeaked to the Headmaster as he turned his attention to him. "What about Y/N?"

Ozpin sighed deeply about it and since Ruby was still at the stage, many students heard the name as well. Y/N was a bit surprised about the sudden turn of events but kept it cool.

"I suppose I couldn't keep it for any longer." Ozpin replied as he went to the mic once more, "Due to certain... situations, Mister L/N could not be in a team." Murmurs surrounded the stadium as Ozpin continued. "Usually, it would be a failure to his initiation but fortunately, Mister L/N has proven to me and the whole Beacon staff that he is capable of being in a one-man team." More rumors made its way to everyone, especially Ruby since she didn't see much from his fight with the Beringal. "That doesn't mean that he won't party up with other teams should the mission prove too difficult for him. Mister L/N has now been registered to Beacon as his own team, please treat him accordingly as you would a student. Thank you all and goodnight."

________________________________________________________________________________

"Y/N, wait." The {Gamer} stopped from his tracks and turned to see Ruby. After the ending of Ozpin, every student was automatically given their rooms at the Dorm. Y/N was about to go to his when Ruby stopped him. "Umm... how...strong are you?"

Y/N turned his head to the side form the... unexpected question. "Uuuuhhh, I dunno... very?"

"'Very' isn't the answer we're looking for." Yang strode in the two as she eyed Y/N from head to tow." We saw you using your Semblance against that Beringal, not to mention that... umm, what's the word?"

"Ethereal," Blake answered. She came from behind Yang. "That attack you did, when you killed that Beringal. What that your Semblance?"

Y/N looked around him and saw most of the students were gone and only him and others were here. "You... could say that."

"Oh?" Weiss came to the discussion as she crossed her arms. "What more could you add?"

"Weiss..."

"Alright, alright. I promised answers, you will get them." Y/N replied as he held his right hand. His Aura flared from it, revealing a bright grey. "My Semblance allows me to 'buff' my attack,  defense, and speed temporarily. Maximum of 3 minutes. I also noticed that I can shape various elementals to do specific things." He held out Creed as it glowed burning red. "{Agi}" A small explosion appeared in front of them. "I use these names to know how much power I use against that I don't accidentally kill someone."

"And the blades?"

"Semblance. Using it, I can shape my attack to be as flexible as possible. Whether it will be blunt or cut, I can make it. I'm still experimenting with 'Guns' but-"

That word, 'Gun', made Ruby shot her head towards Y/N with stars on her face. "You can shoot bullets out of thin air?!"

"Not to be rude, but..."

"Highly unlikely."

"Outrageous."

"Awesome, show me. NOW!"

Expressions otherwise, Y/N has had enough of the day. "I would love to show them to you but..." He yawned tiredly and rubbed his eyes. "It has been a long day so, I'm gonna have to hit the hay. Night."

Ruby and Yang waved Y/N off as he walked to the dorms. "Well, that happened."

________________________________________________________________________________

When Y/N went to his dorms, he sighed for real. Feeling unrestful, he wondered if it was a good thing to let out such a flashy attack against the Beringal. Sure, it destroyed Icaros and made Anubis destroy itself from the final attack but that wasn't it. He wondered if Salem was watching as well since her Watchers are only seen in Vol.5 with Leonardo it can be hard to tell. Going with the fact that Salem didn't, he wondered what the council will think about him. Flashy attacks and no backstory, it will be a miracle if the Council didn't do anything other than observing him.

Shaking his head from the bad stuff that will happen later, Y/N opened to his dorm and saw nothing new there. A bed to the far right with his drawer in the middle, the bathroom to the left of him and his desk was...glowing?

"What is this?" Y/N asked as he turned on the switch to his lights. It seemed to be connected as the desk seemingly went, online.

A message note was written on the monitor and Y/N read it.

'I hope this will suffice. I had a friend to custom made this for you, should you ever succeed in your mission. You always took an interest in my desk so now, you have yours. This desk is the finest tech Atlas can assemble for a favor so I hope this suits your benefits.

From, Ozpin.

P.S: Try to spill anything here, I hear its a mess to clean up.'

Destroying the not with a little fire, Y/N felt something shift. It was the same feeling from when he received the {Gamer} ability from the Gods. The screen on the monitor came to life and showed a familiar pop-up.

USER HAS NOW GAINED ACCESS TO 'Menu' & 'System'

Seeing the pop-up there, it disappeared from it. Sighing, Y/N went and get ready for bed. 'No more. I just want to sleep.'

And with that, Vol.1 is now in full swing.
