Chapter 1: A Journey begins
It was a nice and quiet night at the city of Mistral. A Family made of five people was celebrating something at a table inside a pizzeria, waiting for their order. Apparently, the older son had just received the news of his acceptance at Beacon Academy, which was considered one of the best training schools for huntsmen in the world.
The family's Father was a man named Simon Westbrook. He was a man who looked like he was in his middle 40's. He was Tall, wore a formal suit, his hair was gray and gelled back, he had an unshaved beard, his eyes were dark brown, and he wore a pair of glasses.
The mother appeared to have the same age as the father, her name was Rebecca. She wore a formal blue dress, high heels, and a golden necklace. Her hair was shoulder-length and black, her eyes were blue.
The younger brother had twelve years old and was named Jeff. His hair was black and short, his eyes were dark brown. He was using an orange T-Shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers. The Middle sister was named Sarah and was Fifteen years old. She had long black hair, light brown eyes, she wore a white shirt, black jeans, and black heels.
And finally, the older brother (Who was actually the reason for the celebration) was named Caius Westbrook. He had black and spiked hair (Think about Noctis from Final Fantasy XV) and blue eyes. He wore a white jacket over a black T-Shirt, had a silver cross-shaped necklace, wore black pants and shoes.
His Family was really excited with the News. After all, getting into an academy like Beacon is no easy task.
- I still can't believe you made it into Beacon! You're going to be a huntsman in no time! – Sarah said with a smile on her face.
- Man... I feel so jealous right now... – Said Jeff, clearly expressing a desire to follow the same path when he is older.
- Easy there, big guy. Your time is still coming, but you need to work really hard before that – Said Simon to his younger son.
- It wasn't really a big deal. With the training I had at Sanctum Academy, it was the least I could do. Especially after losing the last tournament. – Said Caius, remembering the lost match against Pyrrha Nikos.
- Don't be like that, Caius. You worked really hard to get this chance. – Said Rebecca, trying to cheer her son.
- She's right you know. It's not good to take away all the credit from yourself. – Said Simon.
- Maybe… But what really impressed me was the fact that you could come with us today. Your work with the police never gives you a day off. – Replied Caius.
- That's true. But thankfully, the city has been a lot calmer than usual, so I came up with this idea. Besides, it's not every day that my firstborn manages to get accepted into one of the best schools in the world! – Said the father, patting Caius's Back
- Look! The pizza's ready! – Said the younger brother while an employee placed the pizza on their table.
They kept talking until it got late and the Family decided to get home. Inside the car, on the way back home, they kept talking about little stuff, until the younger brother decided to ask about some other thing.
- Hey, Caius? – He asked.
- Yes? – The older brother said.
- Have you really learned to fight monsters at Sanctum? –Jeff asked.
- Yes, I did. But Beacon isn't just about fighting, you know. They also want their students to learn how to work as a team, how to think clearly at critical times, and of course, to develop your combat skills even further. All those who graduate at beacon are considered geniuses. – Said Caius with a tone of admiration in his voice.
- Must be so cool. You know… Being a hero and all. – Said Sarah.
- It looks like the other two are also interested in attending Beacon. – Joked Rebecca.
- Looks that way. – The father agreed. – Well, looks like we got here.
As soon as they got into the house, which wasn't very large, but not very small either, they all decided to go to sleep, especially Caius, since tomorrow he would have to get into the airship that would take him to beacon.
The next morning, he woke up early, picked up his bags, said goodbye to his family and went to the station with his father.
- All right, here we are.- He said stopping the car. – Are you sure you brought everything you need? It'll be a long time before you come back again." He said looking at his son on the passenger's seat.
- Yep. All accounted for. – Caius replied as he got off the car.
- What about that Gun blade you bought? - His father asked, trying to make sure he didn't forget anything.
- It's here. And I didn't "Bought" it. What kind of huntsman would I be if I didn't make my own? – Explained Caius, picking up his luggage from the trunk.
- What about the dust? – The father kept asking.
- It's here as well. – Caius answered.
Simon got out of the car and hugged his son as he said something.
- I'm really proud of you, Caius. Becoming a huntsman is something that I always wanted, but I never got the talent for it. I'm sure you will become the best out there.
- Thanks. I'll do my best. – He said as he got into the airship.
The last call was made and the doors started to close. Simon watched the airship leave as it flew into the distance. It was the beginning of a journey.
After getting on the airship, Caius decided to walk around for a bit, until he got to a bench, and decided to sit down while the airship flew to Beacon.
That is until a known person approached him in the bench. It was a redheaded girl with a ponytail. She had green eyes, quite tall and wore a bronze armor.
- Small world huh, Caius? – She said as she approached him. That was Pyrrha Nikos. The girl who had defeated him during the Mistral regional tournament, earning him the second place both in the tournament and in Sanctum Academy's scores.
- Pyrrha. What do I owe you the pleasure? – Said Caius getting up and shaking the girl's hand.
Despite having lost to her, he didn't felt resented. In fact, he considered her one of his best friends and knew she worked really hard to get the status she has.
- I didn't know you were going to attend to Beacon as well.- She said as they both sat down on the bench.
- I hadn't told anyone but my family until I got the letter. Just in case I wasn't accepted. – He explained.
- Nonsense! You are the most skilled person I've ever fought with! And that teleportation semblance of your is particularly hard to deal with! Not to mention the fact that you were the only one who managed to guess what MY semblance was. – Pyrrha said, showing that she recognized his strength.
-Yeah, maybe. The entrance exam for Beacon was way easier than I expected. It looks like we both passed with flying colors. – The boy reasoned.
- I agree. I wonder how many capable people we will find there. – The girl said.
- Probably many. It IS one of the best schools, after all. – He answered.
They kept talking until a woman on a holographic panel appeared near one of the walls. She had a very light blonde hair tied to a bun, green eyes, wore glasses, had a white shirt and black pants, and a purple cape.
- Hello and welcome to Beacon! My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future huntsmen and huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such task, and now, it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world. – The woman in the panel spoke, before disappearing.
- Well, it looks like we arrived. – Pyrrha said excitedly.
- Yeah. From what I see, it's going to be a very… Entertaining year. - Said Caius, who was picking his luggage, and preparing to disembark.
- That it will. – Said Pyrrha doing the same.
Well, this was the first chapter. Please leave a review so I can know what you are thinking. Until the next chapter!
