Me and Val were hanging out in our room before classes started and i was sitting on my bed sharpening my swords as Val was doing some pullups on a pull up bar he set up in our dorm. I continued sharpening my sword as we sat in silence until he dropped down and started doing pushups with one hand switching to each hand after each push up. Then i heard a knock on our door. Val pushed up off the ground and opened the door and i heard a familiar voice.

"Is max here?'

"Yean, what about it blondie?", he asked.

 "I wouldn't get her mad if i was you", i said looking at my sword to see if it was sharpened right.

"Why that..", he was stopped as a fist hit his head launching him out our window, which lucky for us was left opened.

"I warned him", i said with shame in my voice.

"Hey max, are you busy?", she asked.

"Seeing that you just knocked my teammate out of my dorm, why not?", i said continue to sharpen my sword. I looked up to see her sit on Val's bed, and i also know she seems confused or lost from her ki.

"So, what do you want to know about yang?", i asked as the only sound heard was me finishing the sharpening of my swords.

"why did you do it?", she asked with a hint of anger.

"I killed him because he abused his wife for a long time apparently. My Bushido code tells me to keep justice, and that can mean killing a wrongdoer. I do not have any regrets, for i've killed a man before", i said looking at her as i sheath my sword.

"but...what gives you the right?", she asked crying. I closed my eyes and thought about her question to find an answer.

"no one", i casually said.

"What!?!", she said getting up as she got angry.

"I am sorry for your loss, i can see the pain i've given you. You have every right to hate me for what i have done", i said looking at her as she was shaking.

"Stop acting so high and mighty", she said sobbing. I stood up and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"I'm not trying to act high and mighty. I've killed men, which means i'm not innocent. I soul could possibly be damned to hell and that is because of my actions", i said trying to comfort her.

"....i don't think i'll ever forgive you", she said with some venom at the end.

"I'm not asking for forgiveness", i said as i walked over to my armor and began to putting it on piece by piece while i heard my door open making me look to see Val pissed off as yang walked past him. He turned ready to attack, but i stopped him by tapping mys words on the ground gaining his attention and nodding my head to stop him.

"What an asshole", he commented sitting on his bed.

"well, you did call her blondie. Probably not the best thing to say", i said tieing my swords to my hip.

"We got classes today?", he asked.

"yep, we've got some time before we can go. I think we should head to the cafeteria for food", i said putting on my helmet.

"What about uniforms?", he asked.

"What? this is my uniform", i said casually.

"Huh, yeah", he said looking at me weird.

We walked to classes as Val was wearing some kind of suit with a red tie. I looked at him weird as we were making our way to professor port's class. We entered and took our seats as everyone was looking at me funny. I was confused but ignored it as i looked at the professor who was staring at me with an eyebrow raised.

"Is something wrong professor?", i asked confused.

"why aren't you wearing a uniform?", he asked.

"Uh sir, this is my uniform", i said answering him.

"I meant that uniform", he said pointing at val. I looked at val then the rest of the class to see them wearing the same thing.

"oh, i never got a uniform and....this was a gift and i've worn it for a year now", i said looking down at my gauntlets.

"I'll talk to ozpin about letting you wearing your armor, but your weapons will have to stay in a locker", he said sympathizing with me.

"Thank you professor", i said bowing to him in gratitude.

I went over and sat down as i waited for class to begin. More students began to enter until the bell ran. Then the door busted open from team JNPR and RWBY falling on top of each other through the door. They just made it, lucky.

Timeskip to Combat Class

We entered Mrs.Glynda's combat class and took a seat along with the other students. I sat down and started meditating to pass the time before class started. My mind began to wonder from the past to the present and to the future. I opened my eyes after i heard the bell ring as i looked around to see some students have made it on time with some others just making it on time. After the class settled down Glynda walked up to the front of the class in front of the arena with her tablet.

"Ok, we will begin today's class with a randoms match", she said pressing something one hre tablet. 

behind her a screen turned on showing a bunch of students pictures. It even had a picture of Val, which was surprising since he just joined yesterday. Then a small highlight showed up on a random picture around it in red and another showed up in blue. The highlighted dges started jumping person to person crossing over the different photos. The red one stopped on me making me stand up and walk down to the arena as my opponent was chosen which was yang. This is a fight that will not go well. I waited for yang to come down and from her ki she is holding in some anger.

"Get ready", glynda said. I slowly drew one of my katana's as yang got in a boxers stance.

"3...2....1...GO!", glynda said starting the match.

Surprisingly yang didn't rush me like i thought she would. She just stood there waiting for me to move. I kept my sword in front of me slowly moving forward keeping my stance wide so i don't lose my balance. suddenly yang shoots towards me using one of her gauntlets to launch her going for a punch. I try to dodge to the side but she ends up hitting my shoulder which made me stumble to the side but i was able to regain my balance. I move forward go for a slash to her chest which she blocked using one of her gauntlets making sparks fly. She counters with a fist but i quickly move my arm blocking it. I kicked her on the inside of her right leg slightly throwing her off balance which gave me a chance to do two quick slashes to her chest and then her shoulder making her stumble back. I look at the screen to see our aura levels and yangs was in the yellow while mine was on the borderline of yellow and green. I also noticed a single strand of yellow hair from yang flowing through the air. I then look past to see yang with an angry glare with red eyes. She suddenly launched at me with new speed that surprised i brought up my sword using the flat end to block her strike. I watched her fist make contact which shattered straight through my sword.

"AGH!!", i said as her fist made contact with my chest.

Everything moved in slow motion, i saw the pieces of my sword traveling through the air seeing my reflection on the pieces. That moment, i felt something break in me. Everything sped back up as i was launched onto my back sliding to the end of the arena. I stood up holding what was left of my sword which was about 6 inches. I looked at my broken sword remembering my master who left me this sword. I gripped the handle hard as i resheathed it, then i took off my swords and set them nicely on the ground.

"How dare you dishonor my father", i said with some anger as i got into wing chun stance.

"Prepare to lose", i said calming myself as i took deep breaths.

She ran at me going for a right hook, then things moved in slow motion again. I blocked her punch with my right hand then striked her eye with my left hand with the finger tips blinding her. She goes for a wild uppercut which i dodged to the side then punch her across the face. She gets dazed more and i decide to finish this fight. I do a bunch of punches to her chest making her stumble back with each one then i sweep her feet from under her making her fall on her back. I quickly do a bunch of more fast punches to her chest finishing with a punch to her face. I breathed in and out calming myself as everything went back to normal.

"Max wins the match", she said as yang groaned in pain on the ground.

"Thank you for the match", i said bowing as i turned around to walk away.

"No", i heard behind me which made me turn around to see a fist make contact with my face. I was launched across the room.

"Yang Xiao Long!!", i heard glynda yell as everything was blurry. I noticed that i was seeing better out of my eyes. I felt my face feel my helmet gone. I looked down to see my helmet in pieces by shards of my swords. I feel to my knees as i felt myself break, i picked up a piece of my sword and helmet. All i felt was lost.
