As I arrived into Beacon Academy, I immediately went to look for Jaune. My old buddy that I had learned together with back at home was apparently attending this academy as well. I continued to walk down the ramp, My metal armour clanking together. My Kite shield had the crest of a rifle crossed with a longsword with a eagle in the back, the gold crest glinting in the sun against the white background. I slid my visor up so I could see clearly, and heard the sounds of someone puking out their guts. Chuckling, I walked towards the sound and found Jaune, looking somewhat pale. He carried his sword and shield, Crocea Mors and was wearing matching armour as well.

"Hey Jaune! Need some help?"

"Oh, Hey Lance! It's been such a long time!" I chuckled.

"Sure has. Been like what, three years?"

"longer."

"right…" We last saw each other about five years ago, after I was sent to live with my father, some rich officer from Atlas. From there, it was nothing but training in Atlas Academy for a long time. Now that I moved to Beacon, I could finally relax.

It was at that moment that a explosion launched me into action. I drew my longsword and turned around, looking for where it came from. I dragged Jaune with me towards a crater near the walkway and found something amusing… Weiss Schnee, and another girl coughing from the smoke while a trolley with her bags was lying sideways on the ground. Considering that Weiss was practically Royalty in Atlas, I decided to have a little bit of fun and pull off the 'Shining Knight in Armour' as a joke.

"Madame, Are you alright?" I asked with concern, and offered my hand. Weiss looked straight at me and blushed.

Oh shit.

She grabbed my hand and pulled herself up, completely forgetting everyone else and looked coyly at me.

Oh god, this was very very disturbing….

"You know what else is great? me." Jaune suddenly cut in, allowing me to step back in relief. At least Jaune could get me out of this sticky situation. I was about to sneak off and escape until I felt Weiss's hand slip something into one of my armour pockets and winked at me, sending me off. I grabbed Jaune and began to haul ass out of there, panicking.

"Lance, what was that!?" Jaune groaned, and I began sputtering.

"I don't know how to act around cute girls!" I spat out, and Jaune looked at me.

"Not my fault! Atlas academy is pretty much a military school! They don't encourage relationships between students!"

"Well, then, you can be my apprentice. And then Ill teach you everything you need to know to woo a girl."

"Ill just watch. It's fine."

"Lance! we're both knights! we have to have a princess someday to save!"

"yeah… not happening."

"besides, didn't that Snow Angel from earlier slip something into one of your pockets?"

"Snow Angel?"

"You know who I'm talking about!"

"I don't get what you mean—" I slipped my hands into each pocket in my armour and found a paper. I took one look at the paper, blushed, and shoved it back into the pocket where I found it.

"What was on that paper? tell me!" Jaune begged, and I sighed and grabbed the paper out of my pocket, and tossed it at his face.

….

The ass just had to read it out loud.

"192-584-3321. Call me." He looked at me, mouth agape.

"SHE GAVE YOU HER NUMBER?!"

"God Jaune! Shut up!"

"Fine, fine, but you have to help me!"

"help with what?!"

"Getting a girl!"

"I thought that was your expertise!"

"It didn't work!"

"Just do it yourself!"

"Gah! Fine!"

"We're late anyways! We gotta get to the auditorium!" We sprinted towards the auditorium, the visor on my Armet slamming shut as we ran full sprint down the hall. My Longsword was in it's sheath, attached to my back along with my shield as well.

We managed to enter just in time as the Headmaster called Ozpin began his speech. I, however was too exhausted to notice, and pretended to be listening. Wearing a helmet that has a visor that covers your face helps as well. I slept standing upright and was woken up by someone rapping their knuckles on my shoulder plates. I jerked upright and stood at attention, pretending as if I had been listening and turned around, and met the girl from earlier.

"Hi! Im Ruby! Ruby Rose! Nice to meet you!" She seemed genuinely happy, and so I decided to be nice and shook her hand.

"Lance. Lance Braveheart. At your service." I did a deep bow, and she chuckled. It was at that point that Jaune decided to butt in.

"You know that it's all a act he does, right?"

"Obviously." that made me relax a little. Being a legit knight and 'Upholding the family honor' was definitely something practically shoving my normal cheerful attitude to the ground.

"At least someone knows." I sighed in relief, and dropped the whole stoic knight attitude. I slid my visor up so that my face could be seen. I noticed that the speech was over and that everyone was heading over to some kind of hall.

"We should probably start moving, or else we're going to be left behind." I informed, and snapped my visor shut, marching off towards the hall. Our trio spilt when they told us that 'boys over there, girls over here.' and so, Me and Jaune waved goodbye to Ruby and went over to the boys commons, and I began to take off my armour. the sound of metal thudding against the floor was pretty loud, and so I made sure to grab as much as I could before it all just hit the ground. I cleaned my armour of any dirt and then stowed it away, cleaning my sword next. I switched the longsword into it's weapon form; forming a light machine gun, with a color of chromed steel and my coat of arms along with a German Eagle engraved neatly on the side. I checked to make sure the machine gun's drum magazine was full, and then clipped it back on and switched it back. I cleaned my shield and satisfied, put it all away and promptly fell backwards on my bedroll. Jaune rolled up his sleeping bag next to me, and began to loudly talk into my ear.

"Hey, what do you think will happen tomorrow? I heard that your apparently special and whoever is in your team gets to have a group of five. God, that's soo cool! Can I see your weapon, Righteous Justice? How do you think we'll choose teams? Hey, how much—"

"Jaune, for the love of Oum, will you please stop? And I remember hearing about a 'survival exercise" for choosing the teams."

"Survival exercise?! Im going to die!" I looked at him confused.

"Wait, Jaune, but we all did this for academy!" Jaune froze up.

"Jaune…. you can tell me, whatever it is. We're brothers in arms, remember?" I comforted him as he shook with fear. He turned to look at me and whispered his answer.

"I didn't… get in legitimately…"

"… No worries, Ill help you train. Just like old times!" I chuckled, and he seemed visibly relieved. I could hear the sounds of arguing over at the girl's side of the commons and hollered.

"Can you ladies Please be quiet? Some of us want to have some sleep!" and all fell quiet.
