Hi, I'm Jaune Arc… short, sweet, ladies love it… okay, they don't… at least I don't think they do…
I digress. It's been about three months since Ironwood tried to take over Beacon, failed, so took over Vale instead.
Since then, the aforementioned city has become a ghost town.
In the first couple weeks, a few citizens and cops tried to fight back, but were almost wiped out.
Out of 500 of them, only 100 remain. Those survivors now reside in my school.
Not my school as in I go there, 'my school' as in it's mine. Ever since Ozpin and the teachers went missing, the student body elected me as acting leader.
The school itself looks the same… just a bit more dirty and weathered. Ruby, Nora, and Coco made anti-aircraft guns to keep Ironwood's ships away, and they really work!
One time, a… What, Pyrrha?
Oh fine, I'll keep going.
The students have also changed.
Being a hunter means you usually engage enemies that rely on biting and mauling. We have to stay limber and agile. That's why most of use aren't weighed down with full body armor.
Nowadays, though, we have to fight against humans/mechs with guns.
We stay agile, mostly, but now need defense against bullets.
So, now most of the students have Kevlar or metal armors.
Honestly, it looks awesome. The only downside is the reason.
Psychologically, the students aren't so good. A lot of them lost track of their families and friends, and that… that really gets to a person.
For those that we did manage to save, I dedicated the entire east wing, over 5000 rooms, of the school to house them…
The downside is that our supplies are running low.
Yes, Weiss, I know this report is disjointed and sometimes wordy, but it is my report… Yes, you can check it for grammar afterward, but don't change it.
Sorry about that… our resident heiress is bor-OW

Anyway, Ruby thinks I should say something about what happened to me.
During my fight with Pyrrha three months ago, I finally unlocked my semblance!
I can now copy my friends semblences for a short time… after which I get very tired.
Another side effect is I also receive a physical and/or mental attribute of whoever I copy.
From Pyrrha, I got longer hair, that's also slightly reddened. I also copied Weiss, so I have her eye-scar… also, Nora says I'm more of a bookworm and know-it-all these days… but I think I'd notice if that happened, of course… Lastly, I'd got into a sticky situation a week ago, and needed Ruby's speed to get me out of it… so I used it. Now I have one silver eye.
Hey, I wonder if I copy Yangs, if I'll get her bo-OW.
Don't hit me, Yang, I was just kidding…
Anyway, that's how things are now in Beacon Academy of Hunters.
The following is an account of how the war goes. Updated Weekly… I hope…
