- … And to finish our visit, here is our training room; Says professor Ozpin. As you can see, some of our students are actually training.

Ruby moved her eyes from the fight taking place under her nose. It was pretty boring, But a new face just appeared and … Weiss was already running towards the new woman. She seemed to be in her mid fourties with her long blond hair. Her white clothes shows that she was from Atlas, she must be a VIP.

- Good afternoon, Doctor Says the young girl. I am surprised to see you in Beacon.

- I'm glad to see you too, Weiss Shnee. Who is fighting ?

- Hum …

She looked back at the fight. Oh right, it was Cardin Winchester and his whole team of CRDL versus a second year student.

- And the girl is Coco Adel from team CFVY, Finished the doctor. I saw here during the Vytal festival tournament.

She took a few seconds to look at the fight. It was a simple one versus four, the rest of team CFVY was looking at their leader. The girl definitly had the upper hand, even if fighting with only a bag seemed pretty weak against the blades and the mace of her opponents. Anyway, Cardin Winchester was the only one still fighting.

Ozpin went down to talk to Goodwitch who was supervising the fights.

- Why is she facing first year students ? The doctor asked Weiss.

- Well she said her fighting style works against dumb grimms, but not trained hunters.

First year students didn't seems to be a worthy challenge, but Coco never liked Cardin. At least he is her favorite punching ball.

- It is always impressive to see huntsmen fight, Says the scientist. Is here little handbag her machine gun ?

- Yep.

- She must be really good, it's not a simple sword or gun she made.

Ruby, who was really bored by the fight decided to see what her friend was doing.

- Helloooooooooooooo ! I'm Ruby Rose, and you are ?

- Are you dumb, Ruby ?! She is one of Atlas greatest mind ! The world's greatest aura expert ! You should know her !

- Huuu … Dunno.

Calvin Winchester was charging Coco again while Weiss was screaming on her team leader.

- This is Françoise Deschamps ! (pronounce « dai chan »).

For a split second, Coco's attention was drawn away from the fight. When she came back, Winchester was already on her.

The young woman jumped back, but the mace brushed against her belly, riping her belt off by the same way

Coco's bag fell on the ground. She sweared and rised her arm to stop the fight.

But she didn't had enough time.

Calvin striked strongly into her chest, making her fly away while the siren was screaming. The fight was finished.

- Hell, I won ! Screamed Winchester.

Then he saw that his opponent wasn't getting up. Someone was even calling for a doctor. Ozpin and Goodwitch where already leaning on her.

- Hey ? What's the problem ?

It was Ozpin who responded.

- When you striked, her aura had just disapeared ! It was not protecting her !

- What ? That's preposterious, I barely touched her !

- Shut up for god's sake ! She is deadly wounded !

Weiss took a look back at Deschamps, she seemed really shocked by what happened.

- Doctor ? Are you okay ?

- Yes, I … I just need a moment.

Ruby whispered to her friend.

- If she is a doctor, why don't she takes care of Coco ?

- She is not that kind of doctor.

Velvet found herself almost criying when she saw her friend took buy the medics. Then she heard a ring tone. Coco always give her her phone before training.

She unlocked it and saw a "mom" written on it.

- I am sorry, She answered, but Coraline cannot answer you …

Right up the stairs she saw the doctor Deschamps, blankly staring at the faunus. She had a phone in her hand.

- … right now …

Weeks before, during the Vital festival, Velvet was looking for her leader. Coco had disapear right after her fight against Mercury and Emerald. It took here a few moments to find her. To hear her in fact.

"She is on here phone, I shouldn't disturb here."

- Mom stop worrying, i'm studying right now !

"What ?"

- Of course I saw the fight, but I have some work to do.

The faunus curiosity was too strong. She discreetly took a look at her friend who was on talking on her phone. Velvet's rabbit hear even allowed her to hear both the women talking.

- I already told you that this girl, Coco, looked like me. You are not going to call me everytime you see her, do you ?

- Yes, excuse me Coraline. I couldn't help but be scared when I saw her being hurt.

"Coraline ?"

- It's okay, don't worry. By the way, why are you looking at the festival ? I though you never liked it.

- I still don't like it, but a lot of people I know and work with are here. Especially a young girl I helped with her semblance. You may have saw her, Penny Polendina.

- The gingerhead ? Yeah, she was impressive. Listen mom, I need to go right now. I have an important exam tomorrow.

- Okay, don't forget to call me.

- Of course, mom. Bye.

Coco sigh and shut her phone. Then she saw her teammate.

- For god sake, don't tell me you heard everything !

- Well … most of it, "Coraline". Does your mother know that you are studying at beacon ?

- Nope, but she will never leave Atlas. And when I go back I use different clothes, no sunglasses and my natural hair color.

- Soooooooooo … where are you studying "officialy" ?

- A science school, I don't even remember its name. Please Velvet, don't tell anyone what you just heard, okay ?

The young faunus nodded.

- And don't worry, she will know. But only when i'll have graduated.

The Beacon's doctor closed the door behind him and look at the people who were waiting news about the wounded.

- Miss Coco Adel is out of danger for now, but she will need further cares later.

- How is she ? Asked Velvet.

- Well … she broke her shoulder and four of her ribs, and i'm effrayed her heart is severly hurt. I think she will need a regulator for her heart, otherwise there is a high risk of heart attack.

Françoise Deschamps stayed silent the whole time. Ozpin joined her, followed by Goodwitch.

- Doctor, I think we need to talk about Coraline's futur … and also her past.
