The Real Student

This story is about the person whose transcripts were used by Juane, so he could get into Beacon Academy. The person's name Is Maxis, though most people tended to call him Max. He attended a small school in Vale and planned to attend at Beacon the coming fall. He stood at a respectable 6'1 and was built with lean muscles. He had short chestnut colored hair with it shaved on the sides but medium length hair left on top, spiked up slightly. He also had light brown colored eyes, though one would only be able to see them if he wasn't wearing a pair of aviator glasses, to add to that he also had some stubble on his face. He wore a necklace with a small metal feather at the end of it. He had a slightly tan skin tone as well. He wore a green colored military jacket with several pockets on it (A/N: Think of a WWII US army jacket to get a better mental image of what the jackets supposed to look like), as well as a smoky black colored shirt and tan colored pants (A/N: Think Carharts) with brown boots. Maxis carried a pistol in a holster that was part of a harness under his jacket (A/N: A Colt .45 1911 semi-automatic pistol). On his back he carried a gun case, though what was in the case would remain a mystery for now.

Now onto the story. We find Maxis driving on his motorcycle (A/N: A 2009 Harley Davidson Iron 883 model), on his way to his apartment in Vale. As he pulls up to his garage he pulls off his helmet to wipe the sweat off his forehead, "Phew that was one long drive." Then he heads up the stairs to his door to his flat and pulls his keys out to open it. As he does this he notices some mail on the ground, that belonged to him. He picks them up and heads farther inside of his apartment. He heads to the counter to drop off the mail and helmet, as well as lay his gun case against it, and proceeds to his cabinet to get a glass. Next he went to his fridge to get some whiskey, to relax from the long ride, and heads back to the counter to look through his mail. As he sifts through the mail he spots one that's addressed to him from Beacon. Once he spots this he becomes excited and tears open the letter to see what it says. As he reads the letter he becomes less excited and more confused and befuddled. "Dear Mr. Maxis, we regret to inform you that there has been a mix up as there has already been a student with the exact same grades and skills that you also have displayed. Unfortunately, we only have one more spot available for a possible student, we have chosen the person discussed in this letter, as he turned his admission for the school first. We hope that you understand and with luck you'll be able to find a different school to attend to further your hunter skills. Best of luck, Beacon Academy". Maxis stares blankly at the letter for several seconds, then he rises to put the letter on the counter and steps outside on his balcony to think. As he does this he pulls a pack of cigarettes out to calm his nerves from the sudden turn of events. As he looks over the city of Vale he says to himself, "Well, son of a bitch, what am I going to do now?" and flicks some of the ash off the end of his cigarette. Then suddenly he gets an idea and puts his cigarette out and heads back inside. Maxis then goes to find his scroll so he could make a phone call. As he searches through his contact's list he spots the one he was looking for. As he clicked the name he waits for the person to pick up. Finally, it connects to the person and Maxis answers by saying, "Hello? Uncle, this is me Maxis. Yeah, there's been a slight problem. Apparently, there's someone with the exact same grades as me, as well as the same skills I have too, and Beacon only has one spot left for to apply as a student they picked the other guy first, because he turned his admission before me. Yeah it's a little fishy to me too, but what I need is some advice as what I should do now, because I was banking on going to Beacon and I don't have anywhere else to go now. Give you some time to think of something? Sure, sounds better than what I can think of right now. Ok, I'll talk to you later uncle. Yeah yeah, I love you to, see ya soon. Alright, bye." Maxis hangs up the call. The he looks around his living room to see what to do next. Maxis thinks to himself, "Hmm, since I don't have anything else to do right now, I guess I could go to Junior's to get a drink and see what's up." With his mind made up he heads back to the counter to grab his keys, helmet and grabs his jacket, that he had taken off as it was a little too warm to wear inside. He then goes out the door and locks it, and heads down to the garage to get to his bike. Once he gets on he starts it and heads back out into the city to go to Junior's club. As he gets there, he finds a place to park his bike and proceeds to the doors. Once he gets there, he's greeted by the bouncers at the door. Maxis says to one of them, "Hey there Jerry. Life been good for ya?" and the bouncer responds, "Yeah, not too much to complain about. You can head on through Max, I think Junior was looking for you." Maxis tells Jerry thanks and heads inside. Once he gets inside he's presented with booming sounds and a light show with people on the dance floor. He heads over to the bar to get a drink. As he pulls up a set he looks at the bartender and says, "Hey there Junior, how ya been? I heard you were looking for me." Junior turns around to greet Maxis and tells him, "Yeah, I've got a job for you if you're interested." Maxis raises an eyebrow and asks, "What's the job? Is it a delivery or maybe teach one of your rivals a lesson?" Junior shakes his head and says, "No, it's nothing like that. It's pretty simple. I've opened a bar on the edge of the docks and I need someone to run it for me. The person I had in mind to run it for me was you, if you're up for it that is." Maxis looks surprised as he's never done something like this before. He then thinks about since it doesn't look like he'll be able to go to school right now, he figures getting a job like this could help pay for his apartment and that way he wouldn't have to rely on his uncle for his money. He asks Junior what all he'd have to do if he were to run the bar. Junior tells him, "Basically, you'll do the same thing I do here. You'd be the bartender and would tend to the patrons who came by and serve their drinking needs. I'll be the one to supply the drinks, so you don't have to worry about buying the drinks yourself. The bar isn't all that big, it's a nice quant little open door pub. So, do you think you're up for the job?" Maxis looks Junior and nods his head and reply's, "Yeah, it sounds like a cool job. Thanks for the opportunity Junior. This'll really help me out right now with my situation." Junior furrows his brows, "Situation? Are you in some kind of trouble or something?" Maxis shakes his head, "Naw, it's nothing like that. You know how I was planning to go to Beacon this coming fall right? Well, apparently, there's been a big mix up. There's this dude that has weirdly the exact same grades as me, and Beacon only had one spot left and since the guy turned in his admission first they picked him and now I'm out of a school to go to." Junior shakes his head in sympathy for Maxis, "That's tough man, but since you'll take the job you'll at least be able to make some good money for yourself since I'll be paying you more than minimum wage since you're in a management position." Maxis responds back, "Yeah, that'll help me out a lot. Thanks again for the job Junior." Junior just shakes his head, "As much as you've done for me over the past year it's the least I could do to pay you back." Maxis started to say something when suddenly.

BOOOOM

The front door was blasted off its hinges and was sent flying towards the dance floor. A person is then seen walking through the door way. Maxis' squinted his eyes to get a better picture of the person who blasted the doors off. It appeared to be a girl around his age, with an athletic build and blonde hair, as well as, a pair of lilac colored eyes. Maxis admitted to himself that she also had a rather buxom body as well.

Maxis looks back at Junior and asks him, "Do you want me to handle this or…?" Junior shakes his head and says, "I'll handle this." Junior steps down the stairs leading to the dance floor and gets within a few feet of the blonde girl and asks "What can I help you with blondie?" She looks up at Junior as he was quite tall and asked him about information about a certain person. Maxis was too far away to hear the conversation so he just sat back and watched. What happened next though had Maxis wincing with sympathy as the blonde girl grabs Junior in a rather uncomfortable spot. Seeing their boss in distress many of the guards start to surround the girl. She just looks around and grins to herself and says, "You boys wanna party?" They appeared to be waiting for some signal as what to do next. The Blonde girl eventually releases Junior toward the dance floor and gets in close and asks Junior if they could make up. Junior leans in expecting something when the next thing he sees is the blonde girl rearing back and punching him into a wall. Junior gets up unsteadily and he responds with snapping his fingers and the guards charge toward the girl to apprehend her. She just smiles and cocks her fists back and starts to waylay on the poor guards. As all this is happening Maxis gets up to prepare himself should he need to get involved in the fight. Maxis notices that even the DJ is getting involved in the fight by shooting at the blonde girl, but somehow she's able to block the bullets with what appeared to be a pair of gauntlets on her arms. As she is almost done with the guards the twins that hang around Juniors club step into the fight. As they fight the blonde girl is able to knock down one of the twins and focuses on the other one. As she does this she's able to send the last twin through a glass pillar knocking her out immediately. The first twin gets back up and starts to fight the blonde girl. Maxis notices that they're pretty evenly matched, but in the end the buxom blonde is able to pull out as the victor, and is able to knock the first twin out as well.

Junior finally returns, but with a bazooka. He aims at the blonde and fires multiple rockets at her, but she avoids most of them, and the ones she doesn't, she destroys. Suddenly, the blonde gets in close and prepares to finish the fight with some close combat, but Junior turns his bazooka into a giant club, which he hits her with, and sends her back. Junior starts to fire some more rockets at her, but like the first time she avoids most of them, and gets in close again and starts to deliver some punishment on his club, which finally from all the stress, snaps in half. As Junior is trying to readjust himself, he pulls a lock of the blonde girl's hair out.

Time seems to freeze as the blonde girl stares at the piece of hair. The suddenly, she starts to yell and a fiery aura starts to surround her and because Maxis had progressively gotten closer to the fight, he was able to see that her eyes also changed from the lilac color they started out as, to a deep red color. The blonde fighter starts to lay into Junior with a plethora of punches, which eventually sends him out of what used to be the front doors.

Maxis having seen this decides it's time for himself to get involved. He starts to head down the steps into the dance floor and whistles at the blonde girl, "Hey girlie, do you mind explaining why decided to trash my friends club for?" The blonde girl looks up at Maxis and from her expression didn't notice that there was someone left in the club that was still conscious. She says to Maxis, "Well hey there tall, dark, and handsome." Maxis just rolls his eyes at her attempt at flirting and says, "I can't in good conscious just let you go after doing all this, so how do you wanna settle this. A fight? Or maybe you'll be happy to pay for all the damage you caused. It's up to you, but just so you know you're not leaving this place till you decide." The girl chuckles to herself and saunters up to Maxis and says, "Is that so? Well what about a different kind of alternative to your two choices?" Maxis looks confused by that and asks her, "What other thing could you give me that would make me-" While he was talking the girl leans up and gives him a chaste kiss on the cheek and says, "How 'bout that?" and starts to laugh at the flabbergasted expression on his face and that she notices his face is turning red. Maxis starts to sputter out a question, "W-What was that for?" She just thinks it's funny that he's getting so flustered and says back to him, "Just take it as a hot girl just gave you a kiss, you should feel lucky, though I do have to admit you are kinda cute though, so it's an even tradeoff I think." Maxis just stares at her and she stares back. "Well I got what I came for, so I'm off handsome." As she starts to walk back toward the front Maxis suddenly shouts out, "W-Wait what's your name?" She turns around and says, "Yang, Yang Xiao Long, and you? What's your name?" Maxis tells her, "It's Maxis, but most people call me Max." She laughs and says, "Well it was nice meeting you, Max." Maxis just looks at her with a goofy smile and says, "Yeah, same here!" The blonde gives Maxis a wink and heads back out the front and leaves.

Maxis is still smiling even after everyone one starts to wake back up. Junior steps back inside and sees his expression and asks him if he's thinking about the blonde bombshell. Maxis comes back to reality and looks at Junior and says, "W-What no I'm not! I was just impressed by her fighting style." Junior just looks at Maxis blankly and says, "Sure you are. Well, anyways from what I can tell, since you didn't help fight the girl, you can help me fix up the place." Maxis takes notice of the club and winces at all the destruction. He sighs and says, "Yeah, sure. It's the least I can do." With that Maxis helps Junior clean up the club as best they could for the time being. In the back of his mind he was still thinking of the blonde fighter and how cool she looked fighting, as well as how beautiful she was as well.

Afterwards, as Maxis is done helping Junior cleanup, he gets a call from his uncle telling him that he might have an idea of how he might be able to still go to school and that tomorrow Maxis should come by to talk better about the idea his uncle has. Maxis thinks to himself as he speeds back to his apartment, "Well, I'm gonna be busy tomorrow it seems." He chuckles to himself as he thinks of the possible plan his uncle came up with. "Knowing my uncle it's gonna be grandiose if anything." As he gets back he heads through the door to his apartment and heads to the couch and turns on the television. As he's watching he sees that a known crook, by the name of Roman Torchwick, is on the loose on a crime spree. Maxis says to himself, "Torchwick huh? I wonder what he's planning…" He listened on and was surprised that it was a girl no older than 15 that took on Roman himself. "Ha! I bet he's right salty after getting beat up by a little girl like that ha-ha" After catching up a bit on the news he shuts off his T.V. and gets a glass to fill it up with whiskey and heads to the balcony outside to gaze up at the stars. Once he's outside he heads to his lawn chair and sits down and starts to think about the turn of events that happened today. First he's denied of being accepted into Beacon, then he gets a job as a bartender at his very own bar near the docks, finally he gets a kiss from a blonde bombshell, which in his opinion was probably the best part of his day, to top off his list of strange things that happened today. As he takes a sip from his drink, he looks up at the broken moon and just admires its beauty. Maxis sighs to himself in contentment and starts to nod off. Before he fell asleep he set his alarm to wake him up in the morning to get ready for all that was going to happen then. With that he finally falls asleep in his lawn chair with his coat being used as a blanket.

Till next time, Ethan
