Chapter 1
"I wonder where's Glynda heading to"
"Hmm?" I looked up from my scroll, casting a glance out of the window to the small plane that Glynda Goodwitch took, heading towards the Residential district. The continuous sound of its engine could still be heard.
"She rarely ever leaves the school this late at night, whatever it is, it's probably urgent " Rhet said, his eyes following the plane as it disappeared into the distance.
"Let's find out", I begun hacking through the security systems and looked through the Glynda's inbox to see what news she received that called her away from the school this late at night. I entered her inbox and started checking for the message she received. She probably deleted it after reading its contents so a little bit more digging was probably required.
"You're not supposed to do that you know."
"And the vice principal isn't supposed to leave suddenly during the dead of night. " Before Rhet could reply, I found what I was looking for, "Here it is, Roman Torchwick was sighted in the Residential district a few minutes ago, on Crescent Moon street. Hmm. finally coming out of the shadows to do some actual work."
"Him? He hasn't been seen for months, the authorities have completely lost his trail and have no way of finding him, why would he sacrifice months of living in hiding and appear now for a simple robbery? What could he be robbing that it requires him to be on site?"
"Let's see," I pulled up a map on my scroll and checked that street for any place worth robbing, one store showed up, "the From Dust Till Dawn convenience store, it stocks Dust and Dust Crystals," I pulled up its private inventory list "and it just restocked its supply yesterday."
"You have no regard for rules of any sort do you Will, School or otherwise?" Rhet said while he worked on his report, seated at his oak wood desk.
"You should know that by now considering that this will be our final year at Beacon before we graduate. Anyway, I'm going to see what's going on. Do you want to watch?" Taking his silence as a no, I activated one of the cameras I have hidden all over the city and remotely adjusted its angle to give me a good view of what was happening outside the store.
The footage had just focused when I saw one of Roman's henchmen get thrown through a window out of the store., followed closely behind by a kid wearing a red cloak. I had to admit, she was quite skilled, dispatching several of Roman's henchmen in a short span of time. Then Roman managed to slip past after distracting her with a shot from his Candy Cane. I quickly activated another camera to see where Roman was going. Roman had gotten onto a airjet just as the girl managed to catch up to him. That girl…. she looked vaguely familiar for some reason, I just can't figure out why. At this point Roman threw a Burn Dust Crystal at the girl and shot it, it was at this time that Glynda chose to turn up and block the explosion. Roman took over the airjet and Scarlet Dress appeared and she and Glynda battled.
"They're putting on a little light show." I called over to Rhet, the battle could be seen from Beacon as dim flashes or red and purple in the distance.
"Oh?" It can't be anything too impressive."
"Yes,yes. We all know how skilled you are in using your aura" It was true. Rhet naturally had more than the average amount of aura and had unusually good control of it as well. One example of this could be seen while he works on his report under the candle light , he always uses an aura created crystal as quill and never writes with anything else. His skill in aura control has been considered to equal or even surpass Glynda Goodwitch and he is expected to be a great hunter when he graduates.
At this point the airjet managed to get away with one final explosion as a distraction. I didn't bother to use my cameras to keep it in view as eventually its altitude will be higher than the range of my cameras. It was at this point that Rhet decided to ask when Lioso and Fireo, the other two members of our team, will be arriving.
"They said that they will be here tomorrow on the third airjet" I looked over to their beds, hanging over them was our team's banner. Rhet made it last year and we decided to leave it there over the vacation since it was a pain to set up. The banner was emerald green with the word "WOLFER" written on it in gold paint. We were rather fond of the name as it meant a person who hunted wolves, fitting, considering we were training to be hunters and one of our first battle involved us slaying several beowolves. Outsiders think that the word "WOLFER" was chosen because they couldn't think of any other words since the battle with the beowolves happened only after we were a team but my team and I know the reasons Ozpin chose that name and sad smile appeared on my face as I remembered the main reason. That small smile slowly turned grim as I remembered what led up to it.
It was at this time that my scroll started beeping., breaking my train of thought. It had received a voice message from Glynda Goodwitch, "Will, I need you to send the footage from your cameras to my scroll." It ended at that. I started tapping away at the screen, downloading the footage from my camera and sending it to Glynda's scroll, upon receiving it she sent me a simple text to acknowledge its arrival.
"Once again the principal and vice-principal prove that they know everything that happens in the school" Rhet said after hearing the voice message. It was true. Most students think that the reason that nothing is done about their misbehaviour it is simply due to the fact that the teachers don't know about it. That isn't the case, the reason for that is that the teachers know that there was a mistake, think that the matter is not worth raising or deciding to simply keep an eye on the situation, trusting the other parties to sort it out though there have been incidents when they have stepped in when things have crossed the line.
"Well, seems that nothing else of interest is happening tonight. Night, Rhet" I placed my scroll on my bedside table and checked on my weapons. An outsider would merely see a rectangular, single-piece stereo with two speakers on either end with hardy any buttons and the handle of the stereo sunk fifteen centimetres into the body at the top so that your hand would have to be inside the stereo as you held it, the other item they would see is a large cylinder with a strap which you used to carry it on your back, from the top of the cylinder there were two cables which linked to the left and right side of the stereo. Many younger students have wondered why a senior student would constantly carry these around and even bring them into battle, but once they saw what they actually were, all doubts were cleared.
After making sure that my weapon were in perfect condition I got onto my bed and slowly drifted off to sleep. I woke up hours later, while the day was still dark and the moon low over the horizon, its moonlight streaming through the windows of the room, barely providing any light. I started getting ready for the day, showering, brushing my teeth and putting on my other equipment. The other parts of my equipment consisted of a light-weighted, right hand metal gauntlet with the leather finger protecter reaching only three centimetres above the knuckles and a heavy but well balanced dagger which I wore on my belt. These were my first weapons and I still use them often. I didn't bother to light a candle while I tied my boots as I did not want to wake up Rhet.
"Will? Are you there? I can barely see in this light," Rhet asked sleepily while he got out of bed a few minutes after I was finished getting prepared, "light a candle, I can't see my hand in front of my face." I walked over to the table beside the beds and picked up the box of matches on it. I proceeded to strike one of them and lit up the candle that Rhet placed on the table when he decided to go to sleep.
"How long have you been awake?" Rhet asked as he put on his shoes and started getting dressed.
"I just finished getting ready a couple of minutes ago, I decided to sleep in today." I replied, referring to the fact that I was usually awake an hour before the rest of the team. The others didn't mind as long as I did not light a candle or wake them up. However when one of them wakes up, he would eventually wake up the others by tripping over or bumping into something. Unlike me, my team did not have very good night vision.
Rhet decided to continue working on his report and I decided to make some ammunition for my weapon, a time-consuming process which requires precision. We continued to do this until it was time for breakfast. We proceeded towards the canteen, there we got some pancakes. I started to cut them into pieces so that I wouldn't have to use the knife while eating, freeing my right hand to use my scroll. I was glancing through today's news when one article caught my eye. The headline read "Faunas civil rights protest turns dark". I popped a piece of pancake into my mouth and read the article.
"Morning boys, what are you doing up so early?" I looked up from my scroll to see Dr. Oobleck taking a seat on the other side of the table. He too was eating a plate of pancakes. He gestured to my scroll and asked whether I have read the article about the Faunas protest or not. To which I replied that I was reading it.
"Hmm, this will be something that lives on in the history books." Dr. Oobleck said, he was the history teacher and one of the first first few topics he will be going through is the Faunas Rights Revolution.
"The protest or the White Fang gang?" Rhet had been listening to the conversation and was looking at the headlines of the article on my scroll and decided to join the conversation. Unlike most students, Rhet was crazy enough to find history interesting.
"Both. Well, Mr Orical, what do you think of this?" Dr. Oobleck replied, turning his head to look at Rhet as he spoke, "what effects do you think this protest would have, what would future historians make of this?" I let the two of them continue the discussion themselves, I wanted no part in talking about history. I continued reading the article while eating my pancakes. After a few minutes of discussion, I noticed that the two of them stopped talking, I looked up from my scroll at them to see Dr. Oobleck turning to me. "So Mr-"
"Yes?" I said, cutting him off, I wasn't a fan of Dr. Oobleck's tendency to ramble on and wanted him to get straight to the point.
"Well, why do you think the White Fang interrupted their protest?" Dr. Oobleck replied. I decided to take a piece of pancake and pop it into my mouth and chew on it. When I finished thinking about the question, I swallowed and replied.
"If people were to actually give Faunas equal rights, the Faunas will no longer have any reason be antagonistic to pure humans. Many members of the White Fang want an excuse to be hostile to humans and losing that excuse will not go down well with them"
"Excellent, that was along the lines of what Mr Orical and I were discussing," before he managed to say another word my scroll started beeping and alerted me to the fact that the flight that Lioso and Fireo were on would be arriving soon. I quickly finished my last pancake and picked up my scroll, gesturing to Rhet to do so as well.
"Sorry to leave so suddenly Dr. Oobleck but we're meeting up with the rest of our team." Rhet said as we made our way to the exit. Soon we were outside on the main avenue watching the airship appearing in the distance. The sky was cloudy, blocking any view of the sun. We watched in silence as the airship slowly approached Beacon Academy.
