A.N- This site is annoying sometimes. I tried to update it but its was like NO. Anyways this story is being written over a long period of time so don't expect it to have a time table. Reviews would maybe help make new chapters hehe. Anyway enough of this nonsense and here is the story!


'It's too much for me to handle- lying my way into Beacon because of what Dad did. I have to fake my last name from Arc to Knight, really?! I wanted to be proud of my family name! I mean why couldn't I just get in there without faking my transcripts? I know what my father did was wro- oh god.'

On that note I walked over to a garbage can and threw up. I could feel the dizziness as I got out of the garbage can but I threw up again. I could feel the bile in my throat come up but I forced it back down and walked back to my seat. 'I hate planes so much. I mean I can never hold my stomach on them. I have killed every Grimm I came across, but I can't beat motion sickness. I can already hear someone call me vomit boy. I wonder how mom would think of me right now, I told her that I would get motion sickness- but nooooo she wouldn't let me take any medication' At that moment I thought back to my conversation with mom and dad before I went on the dust plane.

"My boy is going to Beacon! I'm sooooo happy!" Mom was practically squealing

"Well he is an Arc." My father replied

"Jaune, we know you will do well. Do you remember all the things that you need?"

"I need to use Knight as an alias, not use my powers and not use Crocea Mors main function. Is that all?" I said, my voice flooding sarcasm.

"Jaune, we know you want to show your true power but I messed up badly, you know that. I couldn't control myself and I messed up. I did get your mother that way but I hurt an innocent person. It will make your education worse but you have to live with it. I know you can do it." My father said with regret and pride in the same speech.

"Your father's right. Unless it's life threatening I don't want you using your powers. Promise me one last time."

"I promise"

"Okay honey, now we want letters and phone calls- and please don't sleep with all the girls there. Got it?" Mom said, brining an unwanted blush to my face.

"Be careful of Ozpin and Glynda. Thankfully you got none of my bad looks" my dad said, smiling.

"I love you." talking to them one last time before I left.

"We love you too." was their reply and I was off flying to the dust plane.

"Great start Jaune" I muttered to myself

The first thing I did when I got off the air ship was go find a bench and lay down. I felt so dizzy I nearly fell off the bench. I was as green as the grass around me, and I was about to throw up again. The acidic taste of bile was in my mouth when I heard an explosion and this time fell off the bench, throwing up again.

"I better go check that out" I said, grumbling that my rest was interrupted.

I was walking in the direction of the explosion when I heard some screaming. I saw there was a girl in a black and red dress, a girl in white and a girl with a black bow. 'Is that Weiss Schnee? What is she doing here?

I turned my attention towards the girl wearing the black bow. I was astounded at the hate rolling of the girl. It had been definitely directed towards the Schnee heiress. I wonder why? Probably a Faunus friend working for the company, or maybe she is a Faunus in disguise, 007' style.' Pleased with myself, I smiled at my own joke 'let me stop the verbal sparring match that will almost certainly follow.' I thought, while starting to listen to their conversation that they were having.

"UNBELIEVABLE, THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF THING I WAS TALKING ABOUT!" The heiress screamed, pure rage rolling off her tongue.

"I'm, really, really, sorry" The girl in red said. 'She looked so small, what is she? 14? 15?'

"YOU COMPLETE DOLT, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE!? Besides, aren't you a little young to be attending beacon?"

'Now she's just being mean for no reason' I thought, rolling my eye. The girl in red mumbled a little, but Weiss still continued, overpowering her speech. "This isn't your ordinary combat school; it's not just sparring and practice you know. We're here to fight monsters, so watch where you're going!"

I saw the look in the other girl's eyes saying That Schnee girl was definitely going to get it. The girl in red snapped, right on queue. "Hey, I said I was sorry, princess!" The girl spoke, letting the last word roll off her tongue, a strong sarcasm laced with it.

'I really need to knock her down a peg. That useless attitude of her's will get whoever is partnered up with her killed.' And that's when the girl in black who was holding a vial of dust came over and started talking "It's heiress, actually. Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee dust company. One of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." 'Huh that's weird, I thought she hated Weiss?'

"Finally some recognition!" Weiss said looking at the girl in red her eyes saying I told you so.

But then the girl in black finished her sentence "The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." 'That explains it' I thought, chuckling to myself while the girl in red did too.

"WHA…HOW DARE…UGHH" She yelled as she grabbed the bottle and went to turn a way but I stepped in, cutting her escape route off.

"Now…now, let the heiress have a break. She obviously doesn't know what she's doing." I said with a smirk on my face. I was really going to enjoy this.

"WHAT!? WHO ARE YOU TO QUESTION ME" She seethed.

"I am Jaune and I have a brain to question you. You don't even know what you're fighting; calling Grimm monsters. Anyways, the main reason I said that is because I see you are using cork to plug up the vials of dust. The dust seeped through the cork and went into the air; the reason for the explosion. If you knew how dust worked then you would realize this and use something that will actually plug up the bottle. And the matter of her age is non-existent. Professor Ozpin probably handpicked her, and that shows her skill." I said matter-of-factly. The only response I got was her huffing, and walking away.

"You knew how to deal with her." The girl in black said

"She has a superiority complex from what I can tell. It will get whoever is working with her killed."

"Well you have my thanks. I'm Blake." She said, holding out her hand

Extending my own hand I replied "Jaune".

"YOU GUYS WERE AMAZING! Thanks for the help by the way, I don't like getting yelled at- Oh yeah….I'm Ruby." She sheepishly said. 'She is an energetic one, isn't she?'

"So why do you hate the heiress?" I said to Blake but then mentally slapped myself. 'I'm not supposed to know that. Good going, Jaune.'

"What do you mean?" Blake said with question in her voice. I even saw her bow move 'I may have been seeing things but she might be a Faunus. I'll have to have more examples of that bow moving to be sure though.'

"The way you suppressed your anger when talking to the heiress, the bored way you were talking. I have heard it before and I'm guessing you have a Faunus friend?"

"Faunus are sooooo cool! I mean they have extra super powers on top of their aura and semblance. Who wouldn't want that?" Ruby said more to herself than to us.

"Yes, I have a Faunus friend, is there a problem with that Jaune?" She defensively stated. 'She is getting so defensive, she is defiantly hiding something. Faunus friend that died by Schnee's hand and she wants revenge, or she is a Faunus. It can't be anything else.'

"I basically agree with what Ruby just said. Faunus only have animal appendages, and if trained enough can be used in fighting. My Faunus friend can use his tail to fight. There is no reason for anyone to hate Faunus…but there is a reason to hate the White Fang."

With that her eyes got wide and she started to look away trying to keep her emotions in check. 'If she was a part of the White Fang how did she get through the background check? I need to find out more about her'

"Well one bad apple spoils the bunch right?" Ruby said, trying to stay optimistic. She probably saw Blake was getting uncomfortable, but I needed to press further

"The White Fang are extremists and they do not define the Faunus." Blake said 'She's lying, I can see it- about what I don't know...yet.'

"Well the last White Fang did, I was a part of them." I stated coolly. Her bow twitched and I saw a small nod in response. 'That explains it. She was a part of the old White Fang, and she left when the leader left. Is she a Faunus though? Her bow twitched again, but that could have been from her nod.'

"You were a part of the White Fang!?" 'Ruby probably only knows of the current White Fang, which justified the sudden outburst. Maybe Blake can enlighten her.'

Low and behold, she did "There are two White Fangs, Ruby. The first one was a peaceful one, that organized protests and such, doing everything in a civil matter."

"That's where I met my best friend Sun," I interjected

"Then, five years ago the leader stepped down and a more violent one came to be. He stopped the peaceful protests and switched them with robberies of stores that wouldn't sell to us." That's when Blake's eyes went wide as she realized what she just said 'That won't get pass me Blake, don't worry though. Your secret is safe with me. Now I have to cover for her.'

"You're a Faunus?! Where's your ears or tail?" Ruby said turning to face Blake. She was only standing there with her mouth open not knowing what to say.

"No, she not a Faunus. She was probably in the old White Fang and so she said "Us". She probably did the right thing, and left when they got violent, right Blake?" I gave her a knowing look and she gave me a look that was trying to say "We will talk about this later". She nodded and Ruby seemed to have bought it.

"I want to talk to Blake about our time in the White Fang, is that ok Ruby?"

"Of course it is!" Ruby was making no effort to move, not seeing that I wanted her to leave.

"I meant in private. We'll meet you at a bench with a janitor next to it; trust me when you see it you will understand."

"Ok, see you guys in a bit!" She yelled skipping off unusually fast. Guess that confirmed she was quite energetic...

When I looked back at Blake she was looking up and down, probably studying me. "Yes Blake, I know." Was all I said to make her snap

"HOW! I kept myself so hidden, and you come along and find out I'm a Faunus! How did you figure I was in the White Fang too!? I knew Ruby before and most everyone else in the school but you were a mystery, who are you!?" I could see the anger and frustration coming off her 'probably expects me to treat her badly then'

"Well, you confirmed what I just thought, and if you want to find out about me; I welcome you to try. I didn't know you were in the New White Fang, that's something you just told me. Also if we become good friends and end up on the same team, I guess I'll have to tell you. Wouldn't I?" I would never forget the look on Blake's face after that. 'The only response she has is how did I figure it out beforehand, I trapped you in a corner didn't I? Check mate.'

"How did you figure it out?" She whispered with an open mouth probably not being able to ask me more.

"I already told you I could feel the anger off of you. Your bow twitched while talking to Weiss, which was my first clue. At that point I knew that you were related to a Faunus, be it whether yourself, a friend, or family member. When I mentioned the White Fang you started to look away. I knew then that you were connected to the White Fang. When I mentioned the old White Fang and that I was in it I could see that you were too. That's all I thought until you tripped over your own words. When you said "Us" I could see that you were a part of the new White Fang at one point. The only people that are a part of them are Faunus and with the bow twitching, I made a guess. Looks like I was right." I could then see a defeated look on her face, like she was about to be yelled at. 'I hate what people do to Faunus, to make them feel like that! It's not right!'

"Don't worry, our secrets safe with me. On one condition" I said, slyly.

"There's always a catch, isn't there? What do you want me to do? Steal something for you? Or are you a pervert? I would rather be expelled then that." She said, sarcasm lacing her words.

"Nothing of the sort. I want you to be my friend!" I said with a big smile on my face. 'She probably hasn't had a real friend since the White Fang.

"What, really?" The pain in her eyes was almost enough to make me go over there and hug her to death.

"Yes really, who wouldn't want to be friends with a beautiful girl?"

"You think I'm beautiful?"

"Of course, it's only missing one thing though"

"What?"

I looked around to see that no one was there and then I took off her bow. She had soft pink velvet ears on the inside with black fur on the outside. She was blushing furiously for a moment until I gave her the bow back and she put it on.

"WHY!" Blake was huffing and puffing, she was about to blow my house down

"Because I want to see you for you, Kit-kat" I said smiling at the nick-name I gave her. "I'll go meet up with Ruby, wanna come?"

"I'll meet up with you later, bye Jaune."

"Bye, Blake."

I approached Ruby on the bench when she ran out to say hi and we started walking down the road we were on. 'She's unusually fast; I'll have to take note of that.'

"Hey Ruby!"

"Hi Jaune, where's Blake?"

"She went to get some air, I don't blame her. I think Weiss intoxicated the air" I said smirking

She smiled back and laughed "Yeah, you told her off so well!"

"You can't feel your better than everyone, or else you start to lose your humanity" trying to sound very wise, and unfortunately Ruby caught me

"What are you a sage, giving wisdom to all who ask?" was what she was trying to say but she was giggling too much.

When she stopped I decided to be serious and the conversation took a dark turn for a moment "It's the truth. Even if you are better than everyone else. So how old are you?"

She turned 'Ruby Rose' from this then answered "15" while I was laughing

"HEY! Why are you laughing?" She asked in a manner that immediately made me think of my older sisters with me, so I decided to take one of their answers

"Because I can. But really nice job! I mean that makes you one of the youngest to ever attend Beacon, doesn't it?" 'She must be really good, I wonder what put her on Ozpin's radar?'

"Yeah, it does. I don't want anyone to make a big deal out of it though. I want to be another normal student." She replied sheepishly looking away and digging her foot in the ground.

"Beacon? Normal? I think if you want normal go to a regular school." I said smirking

Again the blush returned to her face "Well I mean hunter and huntress normal. Yeah that's what I meant."

"So how did you get in? Was I right when I said Ozpin handpicked you?"

"You know, you're really good at guessing things. Yes I was."

"Apparently I can't guess well when it comes to others emotions, according to my mother." I said with a sullen face which caused Ruby to laugh.

"So why did you help me back there?" asked as if there was no reason, and that made me mad! 'How could someone not want to help others, I mean I know people like that but still!'

"Like my mom always says, "Strangers are friends you haven't met yet." " 'Speaking of which, I have to call mom soon'

"So, about the Bench…." She tried to keep a straight face but lost control and fell on the floor laughing but in between breaths she said "Vomit boy". After about five minutes of this she stopped laughing.

"You done?"

"Yeah, sorry"

"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a more common problem than people let on." I said while trying to look serious, and trying to convince her

"Look I'm sorry, vomit boy was the first thing that came to mind" Ruby explained chuckling the entire time she was talking

"Well what if I called you crater face?" I said remembering the explosion

"HEY NO FAIR! That was an accident; you even said that she kept them in bad containers or whatever."

"Well I can't control my stomach, fair enough?"

"I guess" in between the silence that followed Ruby decided to surprise me. "So I got this thing" Ruby said showing me her weapon. When she opened the weapon it was all I could do to not put Crocea Mors to her throat out of instinct.

Surprised I asked "Is that a scythe?"

"It's also customizable high impact sniper rifle"

Being the idiot that I am I asked "A wa?"

While cocking Crescent Rose Ruby replied "It's also a gun"

"Oh….That's cool!" I will defiantly use that later on.

"So what do you have" the glee in her voice was so thick it's like you could see hearts around her, like an anime character.

"I got this sword….." and while Ruby was oooing at my sword I took out shield saying "I got this shield too"

"What do they do?" she asked questioning, hinging off my words 'This girl is even more energetic about weapons, is that possible?'

"Well the shield turns into a sheath for my sword to help carry it."

"It doesn't do anything? Is it old?"

"Jaune, I know that you're going to beacon, but I want you to never use your semblance, Aura, or Crocea Mors' main function"

"WHAT!? THEN WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!"

"Figure it out." My dad replied calmly, as I walked off to my room slamming the door behind me.

"Not really, I mean it never gets damage. It's a family heirloom, passed down from my father and his father and so on."

"Well, not many people have an appreciation of the classics."

"Thanks I guess, so back to you. How did you get into Beacon aside from the obvious, "you're good?" "

"Well, do you know the criminal Roman Torchwick?" 'ROMAN?! I told him to tell me everything of importance but he didn't tell me he fought a junior huntress? I will have to talk to him later'

"Yeah" trying to control my surprise, but even then some still leaked out

"Well he was robbing a dust shop I was at, but then he almost shot me but then Glynda Goodwitch came and rescued me." 'AND GLYNDA!? I am defiantly having a talk with him later' "There was another person on the airship he used to escape and she used fire and stuff. She blocked my bullets from my precious, I mean Crescent Rose, and then they got away." 'CINDER TOO!? Roman has a lot of explaining to do.'

"An impressive story" 'and it is! Roman is by no means weak, I'm just strong. He said that Cinder was around twice as powerful as he was when I defeated him. That means that either Ruby is leaving out some major details, or she is, very, very, very good.'

The blush returned to ruby face for a third time "thanks, it means a lot to hear you say that. Most people, like Weiss would say I'm too young to attend Beacon. I don't even have any friends yet." She said looking down on herself

'Well then!' I thought and then I aired my opinion. "Well then!"

"What is it?" Ruby looked confused and I knew it was going to be funny to see her reaction

"I'm not your friend? Or Blake, I feel offended." I said as I put my hand out and started to walk away, mockingly. Ruby just laughed at me and started to grab me

"That's not what I meant and you know it! Anyways I have to find my older sister." 'Wow, her mood shifted one hundred eighty degrees there.' "I'll see you later, when we all meet up, byeeee!" With that she zoomed away, leaving an actual dust cloud in her wake, like the cartoons. 'How fast is she?!'

While walking I found that I was thinking about Roman and me, how I first met him.

I remembered looking at the news saying that Roman Torchwick was a wanted criminal. That he was robbing every dust shop in Vale that he could find. It was then when I figured I'd have to stop him. I tracked him all across remnant, finding the occasional white Fangs hideouts and some well-trained soldiers; but nothing special. After staking out a certain White Fang Hideout I see that there is a Dust plane that has ice shards sticking out of it. I can see then that Roman and a girl step out of the plane. My advanced hearing picked up their conversation

"Roman, it was supposed to be a simple raid!" The girl in crimson was looking at Roman with cold eyes, 'I have seen those before, but where?'

"Well Cinder, I didn't know that I was robbing a store with a junior huntress and an actually huntress would try and stop me"

At that moment Cinder walks over to Roman and picks him up by his neck and starts to choke him. I could see that she was playing with his life, and that's when I realized that Roman wasn't the head of the dust robberies. The veins in his neck started to pop out and his face started to turn blue.

"Roman, I will tell you once more. If you don't start acting like I can kill you at any time I please, then I will kill you. Understood?" She let roman's limp body slump to the floor, waiting for him to catch his breath.

"Understood" He coughed out, while he took a cigar from his pocket and started walking towards the roof. I could see him grumbling about something but even I couldn't hear him.

I tailed him; trying to make sure no one saw or noticed. When he got out and onto the roof he lit his cigar. I could smell the pungent fumes of his smoke wafting towards me. That's when he called out me out

"You are very good at tailing someone; if I didn't have to kill you I would hire you in a heartbeat." Then he put out his cigar, turned around, and raised his cane level with me. I could see a cross hair pointed at me.

"Roman Torchwick, I was hoping I wouldn't have to kill you but I guess you're stuck in your ways. Let me fix that" I took my sword out of its sheath, and that's when he made his battle stance. I used my semblance to increase my speed and ran straight to him, trying to make no noise. It was always hard for me to kill but it had to be done in this case. When I was atop of him I took my sword and slid it across his neck, cutting the arteries there. My fingers almost slipped because they were so sweaty but I held firm. He grabbed his throat and dropped his cane. His hands were starting to cover in blood and I could see his eyes roll into the back of his head.

Within ten seconds I could hear a thud and his still body on the ground. After he stopped moving and made sure he was dead I channeled my semblance. I saw that my black Aura was swirling around his body and that his throat was closing up. In a minute he was one his knees breathing hard.

"How" He managed to rasp out while collapsing from the effort of talking.

"I am an Arc" I simply stated, but it was a good enough answer for him.

"That explains it" He chuckled and then fell on the ground passed out again.

I stopped my Semblance, causing his body to disintegrate from my Aura. I could feel his powers flowing through me as I learned all the things he knew of combat. 'Mostly dirty tricks, but a very useful cane' I said to myself, and then jumped to another roof making my escape.


After that, I made him listen to me and go back to Cinder to find out whatever she knows. He didn't know anything when I killed him, so I had no other choice. He told me how Cinder was threatening to kill him, and how she was a very strong opponent. We have been becoming good friends, and he has gained some of my trust too. 'I wonder what he'll say when I tell him what Ruby told me?'

Because I was thinking for a while, I had got lost. I didn't know where I was but I did hear a someone scream and saw that there were four boys piking on a girl with red hair while she was on the ground. 'I have to go over and help'.

"Hey stop that!" I yelled at the main person making fun of her.

"And what's she to you squirt?" the mysterious person replied. He was the tallest person in the group and in the front so he was probably the leader.

Then I replied with a catch phrase that my mom always says "Strangers are friends you haven't met yet"

"Well my names Cardin, now leave before you're the one on the floor."

That's when Cardin started laughing and so did his entourage. 'I hate when people underestimated me, and that is most of the time.' Cardin threw a punch but I dodged it, the look on his face was complete surprise. Then Cardin's three goons stepped in. The first one threw a punch to my left while the second one threw a punch at my right and another one down. I jumped over all three avoiding being hit the entire time, it was child's play compared to how strong I really am. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a punch from Cardin coming. I deflected into one of his friends, and he went down right away. Then I went on the offensive. I hit another one of Cardin's entourage with an open palm under his chin launching him a few feet away and knocking him out cold. I could feel the bones breaking in his chin. When another tried to hit me I grabbed his arm held it straight and brought my elbow down on my opponent. We all heard a cracking sound and the person under my wrath passed out. Cardin knew he had lost and picked up his gang and ran away. I have never seen a 'Supposed' huntsman, even in training, run that fast. At least there's that going for him. I went to pick up the girl that they were picking on.

"You know, I could have handled it by myself but thanks, I'm Pyrrha"

"I'm Jaune" 'Man I can't believe I met two girls uhhh I mean two friends in one day. I wonder what she's like. She does look familiar; I wonder where she's from?'. I held out a hand to help her up and she took it. She was a bit dizzy so she grabbed onto me a bit harder than she thought and pulled me down with her, pulling me right on top of her.

'I wonder how she will take this. I hope she doesn't ask about my powers or who trained me. I don't want to have to ignore my third new friend of the day' At the time, I was completely oblivious to the fact that we were in a compromising position. Phyrra got up first and started talking to me.

"Thank you Jaune that was very nice of you" Phyrra said still blushing from the way we were on top of each other from before

"Are you ok? You're red; did those jerks do anything to you?" I asked oblivious to any feeling that the other sex had. I didn't realize that they were in a compromising position and was just worried about his new friend. I hate it when my mother's right.

"No I'm fine Jaune, thanks for asking." Phyrra was as red as Ruby's name now.

"I know this is a weird question to ask but have I seen you before?" Jaune asked quizzically

"I'm actually on a bunch of cereal boxes from winning a tournament, not a big deal" She said

"Well that's cool, why were those people even trying to bully you?" Jaune was wondering this question as soon he got to talk to her

"Well I don't know. I just was cornered by them" Phyrra said quietly.

'Let's not press, don't want to make her too uncomfortable' "So, where are you from?"

"Mistral"

"That's cool, you know there is something I want you to know about me"

"What is it?"

"I'm terrible at small talk" I flashed a toothy grin when Phyrra burst out laughing

"Well let me start off with this" She then pulled out a spear and shield "This is Miló and Akoúo̱.Milo can turn into a rifle and a sword, as well as a javelin. Akoúo is just like any shield but he's still special to me."

"That's so cool, I love weapons that mech-shift. All I have is Crocea Mors. An antique weapon that doesn't dull, and the sheath turns into a shield. It was used in the last war and is a family heirloom" 'I can't believe that I have to say Crocea is dull, it's the best weapon ever! But whatever I guess'

"That's cool too, I mean if you don't have to sharpen it ever it must be made of something really cool. I can't wait to spar with you Jaune."

"Me too, so where are we going exactly?"

"The meeting room, or whatever it's called. Beacon is a big place, what combat school did you go to?"

"Well I was trained by my father, who is a huntsman" 'Should I be saying this?'

"I was trained at home too, I was given the best tutors and became a tournament champion. Go figure" She laughed out

"Wow, anyways any idea what direction the meeting room?" I asked curiously

Her response took a moment but then she replied "I have no idea"

I walked into the ballroom where everyone was gathered. Phyrra and I went separate ways to search for the place and she made it there first, because I could see her in the middle of the crowd. I could see Ruby and a girl in yellow talking to each other. I could then see Weiss start to approach them. 'Here we go again' I sighed and started to walk over

"YOU" Weiss was seething with anger

"Oh god its happening again!" Ruby jumped into the yellow girls arms 'wonder who that is'

"You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!"

"Oh my god you really exploded" the girl in yellow said with a face full of shock 'I like her already'

"It was an accident, it was an accident!" 'she must really be innocent if she's not mad at her for yelling at her again, wow'. Weiss throws a paper in Ruby's face "What's this?"

"The Schnee dust company is not responsible for any injuries or damages-" I had to stop the spiel she was going to give

"HOLD ON" I said making her stop in her tracks.

"Jaune?" Ruby asked very confused

"YOU AGAIN!?" Weiss was screaming at this point, but thankfully not getting us any attention

"Hello" the girl in yellow looked at me and licked her lips 'That's defiantly not a good thing'

I could hear Weiss above all else "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!"

"To stop you from being condescending and arrogant. You were the ones shaking the dust bottles! It was her fault to run into the luggage but yours for causing the explosion!" She got the message again and then left right before Ozpin started to give his speech.

The room was silent, he cleared his throat "I'll keep this brief, you have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy." 'Wow, he's so happy isn't he? Dad said he was just under him in strength but still, put a little emotion in it. Also where have I heard this before?' "In need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." Then he walked of the stage and Glynda took the stage.

"You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed." Then the masses started to go to the ballroom to get ready for tomorrow.

In the ballroom everyone was getting changed. I could see Weiss, Ruby, Phyrra, Blake and the girl in yellow all in the room. Many guys were already in bed and they didn't have their shirts on. Weiss had a group of guys around her worsening her superiority complex. Another was around Phyrra, but she did look uncomfortable. I could see the girl in yellow plop down next to Ruby and I decided to get ready for bed. I took off the bag I had slung over my shoulder and went to the bathroom to change. In the stall I took off my shirt and could feel my scars aerate. I always slept with my shirt off because my scars always irritated me. I put on some night shorts and walked out to many stares. 'Why is everyone staring at me?' I could see several of the girls just stopped moving. The girl next to Ruby was not even trying to hide her stares. I could see Blake and Phyrra have a nose bleed for some reason. 'Great, everyone thinks I'm a freak for my scars. Whatever I guess.' Weiss refused to look at me and when I looked to my left I saw professor Goodwitch coming over and yelling.

"Mister Knight! Put a shirt on!" she said grabbing me and pulling me to the corner of the room so no one could hear our conversation

"Why? The other guys have no shirts on."

"Well mister knight the girls are distracted by you."

"Having scars is nothing to be ashamed of; I will not put a shirt on"

"You think that is why they are staring at you? Really? What will it take to get your shirt back on?"

"Is Professor Ozpin's speech from the last head master?" That question shocked Glynda and made her take a physical step back

"Yes, how did you know?"

"Uhhh…." 'WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS TO MYSELF'

"Spit it out now Mister Knight"

"It was on the T.V. once. I saw it when I was around six or seven"

"You must have good memory then. A good attribute, but to get back on track the answer is yes. Now will you put your shirt back on?" I took out my shirt and put it back on 'I wonder what the reason she thought of why they were starring?' When she left I just realized I had to make sure Blake was ok, she had a nose bleed before. I walked over to Blake hearing a conversation of Blake and Ruby, with the girl in yellow. I could see that area was light by a candle in the corner and that all the talking over there was close to putting it out.

"What's it about?"

"Huh?"

"Your book? Does it have a name?"

I stepped in deciding to answer for Blake "It's about a man with 2 souls, each fighting for control over his body" 'Isn't that familiar' I laughed at the irony of my joke

"Jaune, you read?" Blake asked, her amber eyes going wide in surprise

"So, you decided to break my heart by wearing a shirt now?" The girl in yellow said 'What is her name!'

"YANG! THAT'S MY FRIND AND HIS NAME IS JAUNE!" 'Oh'

"Whatever, he's still great game" she said liking her lips and having an almost too wide grin on her face.

"What's with that look on her face?"

"I'm stalking my prey, haven't you ever heard of the hunter and the hunted?" At that moment I knew how the Grimm I killed felt like

"Back to me, you read?" Blake seemed like she needed her question answered

"Yeah I do, it's always a good past time when you're bored or too tired to train."

"Have you read this book cover to cover?"

"Of course, have you?"

"Not yet, so don't spoil it for me!" She said almost playing with me

"So Jaune, I'm going to take Yang to bed before she can drool all over you" Ruby said for once acting the parent

"I need to stalk my pray, let go Ruby!" You could see the line of where Yang's boots were drawn along the floor.

"So all alone again, huh." I said to Blake

"I thought long and hard about what we talked about earlier today and I realized something. If you tell anyone I'm screwed but otherwise you will be amazing to have on my team. So I will ask you one thing, will you be on a team with me if we get to pick out teammates?" This was not the reaction I was expecting. In my mind it was more along the lines of 'I will kill you if you tell anyone'.

"Of course I will, but I don't think that we will be allowed to be pick our own partners. What made you want to be partners?"

"I haven't had a friend since the white fang. I am so lonely that all I do is read books and still by myself. I can't trust anyone, but I have no choice but to trust you. You seem to like Faunus and that you were in the White Fang. I have all my ships riding on you, so you better not disappoint."

"I wouldn't dream of it! I'm happy that I made a friend too, was very isolated for most of my childhood. Oh! I came over here to make sure you were all right, are you?"

"What do you mean?" Blake looked confused, but I didn't understand why. She was bleeding before!

"Your nose was bleeding, I can see that it stopped but what cause it in the first place?"

"Goodnight Jaune." Blake then reached over for the candle stick and blew it out, leaving us both in darkness.
