"I hope you realize your actions tonight will not be taken lightly young lady." Glynda Goodwitch began scolding the young redhead sitting on the chair with a light above her head while the girl only looked down upset… at what even she doesn't know. "You put yourself and others in great danger." The blond Huntress continued as she paced around the room.
"They started it!" The young girl tried to defend herself, her silver eyes locking on the moving woman. It was true, they started it by trying to rob her! What was she supposed to do? Give them Crescent Rose? Blood will rain before that happens. The blond huntress ignored her remark as she continued to read the reports of the robbery on her SCROLL*. Thankfully not a lot of Dust were stolen but there was still a question she needed the answer to; Why the Dust and not the Lien?
"If it were up to me you'd be sent home." The young girl looked down dejected as the older woman continued to lecture her like a 2 year old. "With a pat on the back." Her head shot up with glee knowing that she was acknowl- "And a slap on the wrist." Glynda added as she looked at the silver eyed redhead before she brought down her Riding crop onto her wrist, fortunately the redhead managed to get her hands off the table in time.
"But, there are people who want to meet you." The huntress spoke up almost begrudgingly as she withdrew her weapon and walked to the side to reveal the famous Professor Ozpin holding his ever signature coffee cup and a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
Behind Ozpin stood a boy with orange hair seemingly around the girl's age wearing an unbuttoned black coat and pants. Under the coat lies a red dress shirt with a dark yellow tie. The boy seemed to mumble something about his suit before fixating his brown eyes on the girl behind the table.
"That the girl of the hour?" He asked the much older man.
"Ruby Rose." Ozpin nodded before approaching the now known girl, Ruby Rose. "You…have silver eyes." The man pointed out somewhat mysteriously.
"Um…" Ruby tried to think of a way to respond before she was interrupted.
"So, where did you learn to do this?" Ozpin asked, referring to the video of Ruby fighting the black suited robbers with a giant red scythe playing on Glynda's scroll.
"S-Signal Academy?" It sounded more like a question rather than an answer when she spoke. The 3 looked at her skeptically before the boy spoke up.
"That's a pretty stupid decision of Signal, to teach a 2nd year how to use a dangerously designed weapon like that." The boy scoffed, his voice matched his skeptical view. He couldn't believe that a girl like her, who hasn't even reached the tertiary level of Combat school, would be taught how to use a weapon on par or even better than hunter equipment.
"Wait, how do you know I am a 2nd year?" Ruby asked the boy, curious on how he knew that despite that she hasn't told them anything yet.
"Here's a better question, who taught you how to use that scythe SPECIFICALLY." The boy ignored her question and pressed with his own. Ruby was a bit pissed at how he could ignore her like that but decided to answer anyway but before she could, Ozpin slid the plate of dough and chocolate on to the table. Ruby's sweet tooth got the better of her as she started to dig in, one cookie only needing one bite while she forgot about the boy's question.
"Sorry for my companion's rude questions but it's just that I have only seen one person wield a scythe of that calibre." Ozpin apologized while the boy just let out a tsk. "A dustly old crow." Ozpin mumbled.
"Thas muh hunkle." Ruby spoke, her mouth still full of the sweet snacks. The other 3 raised their brows in wonder to what she just said before Ruby swallowed everything in her mouth, wiping her lips before apologizing.
"That's my Uncle Qrow, he's a teacher at Signal." Ruby clarified. "I used to be complete garbage before he took me under his wing. Now I am all like…" Ruby continued before striking childish karate poses to prove her point, earning a slight but quiet unamused chuckle from the boy.
"So I've noticed." Ozpin answered before setting his coffee on the table and leaning towards the Ruby.
"So what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing in a school designed to train warriors." Ozpin asked. Signal Academy is one of the few Combat Schools in Vytal designed to train young dreamers to fight and protect the citizens who wish for a normal life.
"Well, I want to be a Huntress."
"You want to slay monsters." Ozpin corrected.
"Yeah." Ruby replied before continuing
"After 2 years in Signal, I am going to apply to Beacon. You see my older sister is starting this year and she's trying to become a huntress and I want to become a huntress to so I can help peop-" Ruby stated her plan before a voice cut in.
"We didn't ask for a backstory Riding Hood." The boy cut her off harshly. Ruby glared at the boy leaning on the wall beside the table while he just returned with a bored look.
"Do you know who I am?" Ozpin asked the aspiring huntress.
"You're Professor Ozpin, the Headmaster of Beacon." Ruby answered with respect. Professor Ozpin is a famous person in Vale as the Headmaster of the legendary school for Hunters and Huntresses, Beacon Academy.
"You want to come to my school?" Ozpin continued.
"More than anything." Ruby answered with confidence. Ozpin couldn't hear any tinge of doubt in her voice, and neither could the other two. Looking over his shoulder, Ozpin made eye-contact with Glynda who just rolled her eyes before turning to do the same with the boy leaning on the wall who in turn just looked to the side, huffing.
"You're way too light on your judgement." The boy muttered under his breath, soft enough so no one could hear it.
"Well okay." Ozpin finalized despite the two's obvious feelings against the idea. Ruby's eyes widened in excitement as she finally achieved her dream…her dream of attending to Beacon.
"Do you really think she's ready for this?" The boy asked Ozpin as they walked through the halls of Beacon. In a few minutes, the freshmen would be arriving soon.
"Who?" Ozpin asked obliviously though they both knew who he was talking about.
"Ruby Rose." The boy answered. Earning an "ah" from the headmaster.
"You've seen her skills. We both know that she already surpassed some of our older students." Ozpin answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world… which is true for both of them but the boy couldn't help but clench his fists in anger.
"You know what I mean." The boy shot coldly. Ruby Rose may have been skilled, but the pressure this school could provide might end up breaking her.
"Why do you act like you care for her?" Ozpin asked, intrigued by the boys show of interest.
"The same reason why you got her here in the first place." The boy answered. They were both interested in what the girl could become with the proper training.
"Come now, she's not that different from you." Ozpin pointed before walking off, earning a sigh from the orange haired boy. The boy's name is Icary Esthus, a 19 year old hunter who graduated two years ago, like Ruby, he skipped 3 years of training at Signal when Ozpin and Glynda scouted him as he fought a pack of Beowolves.
"That's where you're wrong." Icary muttered as he look out the window to see the incoming Beacon Ship, containing all of the new students.
Something that I've been thinking about for quite a while now. A twist in the OC department where the OC is a teacher rather than a student although he'll be taking a special role as a teacher.
