I woke up in a sweat again having the same nightmare. I got up and decided to take a hot shower to take my mind off of the nightmare, and gain mental clarity. I went into the bathroom and removed my undergarments i usually wear under my armor. I walked into the shower and turned the water up so it was hot. I felt the water hit my skin and go over my body as i felt it touch the scars on my back and chest from when my family abused me, but also the ones i've gained in combat which weren't many. Sensei trained me well enough to defend myself enough, but i have met worthy opponents on my travels. After spending some time taking my shower i get out and dry off. I walk over to the mirror after putting my clothes on and look in the mirror. I moved my shirt down a bit to show a scar on my shoulder, it was the first time my family used a weapon on me. It was a kitchen knife, and it finally gave me the strength to leave. I closed my eyes feeling a pain in my head as memories came back, but i shook them off as i left to put my armor back on and head to ozpin's office.

Timeskip to ozpin's office

I exited the elevator to see ozpin at his desk with a mug of coffee. I walked up to his desk and bowed.

"Good morning mr.ozpin", i said in a respectful tone.

"huh, your family isn't suppose to be here for another 10 minutes. I have to say they are very happy to know that your ok, but i think it will not be a happy reunion", he said with a seldom tone.

"you are correct sir. I agreed to do this so as your samurai you would have trust in me", i said explaining myself.

"So, you didn't do this to meet your family again. You did this to gain trust, interesting", he said interested.

 We hear the elevator ding, which means they are here. I walk over to ozpin and stand right next to him with my hands at my side standing tall. The elevator opened as Ruby, Yang, Summer, Tai, and Qrow walked in. They all were staring at me interested and confused, but i kept my cool. I've dealt with worse situations than this. What was strange was summer didn't have the smile i remember her having. Qrow kept taking swigs from a flash he had, i knew he drank but i didn't know it was this much. Tai still looked chipper, but it was a facade. What could have caused this?

"So, what did you want ozpin? you know i was busy on a mission for you. Also, who's the guy in the armor?", qrow asked.

"Well, we here about summer and tai's son", he said looking at me.

"is...is he...actually here?", summer asked tearing up.

"yes, and he's right here", he said pointing at me.

"That...can't be our son", tai said confused. Ozpin looked at me and i nodded as i began to take off my helmet earning gasps and tears from summer.

"Ma....max, my boy we are..."

"Please, save your words mrs.Rose. we will have time to exchange words soon", i said trying to be respectful even after everything she's done to me.

"Why do you call me mrs.rose, i'm your mother", she said confused.

"i...am sorry, but that word i can not use", i said.

"What...what do you mean?", she said getting teary eyed.

"I can not call you my mother, since i do not consider you my mother along with mr.xiao long. I am sorry", i said keeping my cool as i saw faces of shock except from yang and ruby.

"Before we continue this little reunion, i need answers to why mr.yamamoto isn't happy to see his family?", he asked getting to the point of why we are here.

"Yes ozpin, as a child i was abused and neglected by my blood parents. This was done to me because i could not manifest a aura at my age or unlock my semblance. so, they treated me like a street dog. Beat me, starved me, and made me do chores that they wouldn't. One night, summer cut my shoulder with a kitchen knife, and i ran out the back door holding my wound finally deciding it was time for me to leave. I was bleeding profoundly and with me running for so long i fell to the ground weak. A beowulf found me and i was unable to defend myself, until a man traveling to nearest town to meet an old friend cut the beowulf down in a single blow. This man was my sensei, he brought me in and taught me the ways of the samurai. I considered him my father, but never called him that since he only wanted me to call him sensei. While he called me student, but i knew he thought of me as his son. He died one year ago to old age, on his deathbed he finally called me "son". when i buried him i finally called him "father" for the first time", i said telling my story. Ozpin had a neutral look but i could sense his anger.

"Is he telling the truth?", he asked them. They all looked away with guilt, but summer looked down.

"yes, and we've regretted it ever since. I've gone into a deep depression that i am now getting out of, because of it i almost commited suicide three years ago. Qrow had begun to drink more sense then and tai...he may seem alright, but i find him crying alone in where max's room is  ", she said not looking at ozpin.   

"I can't believe the star team of this academy have done these outrages things", ozpin said holding in his anger.

I walked past ozpin after hearing Mrs.Roses story. i kneeled down in front of them earning confused stares as i set my helmet down to my side. Then i bowed with my head down in front of them as i heard gasps. I must apologize for what leaving them has caused.

"I am deeply sorry Mrs.Rose, Mr.xia long, and Mr.Branwen for causing you all so much pain and misery. I cannot forgive you for what you have done, but my code says i must show mercy. I do not know if i will be able to show mercy to you all, but i will not know without trying. I am truly sorry", i said keeping my head bowed.

"Wh..what?", qrow said confused.

I stood up and put my helmet by my side. I then walked back over to the side of ozpin as we continued this meeting.

"Mr.Yamamoto, today is your first day of classes. I believe you, ruby, and yang shoulder go. I will stay here and talk with your parents about this new discovery", he said.

"Understood", i said bowing as i put my helmet back on walking to the elevator with ruby and yang fallowing. We stepped in before the doors closed and i pressed the button going to the bottom floor.

"max, why did you have this meeting?", yang asked curious.

"I did this so i could build trust with my master", i answered.

"your master?", ruby asked confused.

"Ozpin", i answered again.

"Wait, ozpin is your master!?!", they said in unison.

"To become a samurai you must serve a master, before i met ozpin i was just a ronin who was travelling looking for a master", i explained.

"so wait, you did all of this to establish trust with ozpin?", yang said getting angry.

"yes, and now that you say it outloud it sounds very selfish. I am sorry for my selfishness", i said bowing again. The elevator doors opened and i heard struggling and grunts behind me. I turned around to see yang angry and ruby holding her back.

"Did something happen?", i asked confused.

"No", ruby said nervous.

I pulled out my scroll to see what time it is and what class to head to . I see that it's 10 o'clock which means i have combat class. This should be fun, i should find many opponents to fight. I then looked up the map to the campus as i began to walk to the class. I made many turns left and right before i came upon a door that said professor glynda goodwitch on it. I walked in gaining attention of all the students even mrs.goodwitch.

"I am sorry if i am intruding", i said.

"No, it is ok. Could you please come down here and introduce yourself?", she asked.  

 I walked down the front of the class gaining stares because of my armor. I made it to the front and bowed. I heard a student snicker in a disrespectful tone. I looked towards him to see a student with blond hair wearing a suit of armor like a knight.

"Hello, my name is Maximus yamamoto", i said introducing myself.

"Thank you, i think for you first time in combat class you should be the first to choose your opponent", she said.

"I would like to face him mam", i said pointing at the man who snickered at me.

"Sure, mr winchester please grab your weapon and come down", she said

He stood up and left to retrieve his weapon. I entered the arene and kneeled on the ground as i meditated and waited for my opponent. After awhile he showed up with a confident smirk on his face. I stood up and went to one side of the arena as he did also. I drew my sword and got into m stance holding my sword out in front of me. It seems like my opponent uses a mace, which means his attacks will be heavy. I should be cautious when blocking his attacks. 

"3....2....1 BEGIN!!"

He ran straight at me holding his mace with two hands. I moved my front foot forward slightly while keeping my sword out in front of me waiting for the perfect time to strike. When he got close he swung at me horizontally while i jumped back dodging his strike. He came at me again with a strike above. I dodged to the side and saw my opening, i dashed at him and struck at his side making his aura go into the yellow.

"Ah, bastard. You think your tough!!!", he yelled gaining his bearings.

"I guess i was right, you have no honor", i said getting back into my stance.  

He rushed at me with anger as he tried to hit me with strike from the side, but i blocked it with my sword then hit him in the chest with my elbow stunning him. I then countered, i quickly struck his shoulder with a downward slash then came back and slashed the left side of his chest. He swung his mace lazily as i blocked it with my sword barely moving. I then attacked again with a heavy attack with a slash from his left shoulder down to the left hip knocking him on his back knocking him out. I then slowly sheathed my sword, but out of the corner of my eye i thought i saw a child. I looked again to not see anything, strange.

"Thank you for this fight", i said bowing respectfully.

I then felt a pain in my head as my opponent quickly flashed to me being beat  with blood on my shirt and pants. I closed my eyes shaking my head as it quickly vanished. I looked down at my hand as i switched between a nine year old hand and my present hand with my glove. what is going on?
