Let's try something different! A semi-full OC story is obviously a bust for now. Let's go with something unique~ P.S. Weapons currently chosen on hunters are subject to change throughout the story, and probably will.

To be a Hunter!

"Oh! I'm so proud of you!" A busty blonde woman would shout as she had her hands tightly wrapped around a much younger girl.

"Yang, please! Need air, armor crushing!" The smaller girl gasped for air as she was being squeezed between yellow plated armor and two long arms. The blonde would only gush more as she rocked the girl back and forth.

"But Ruby! I'm just so proud~!" The blonde shouted in pure excitement, not caring that her voice vibrated amongst the crowded hall with many of other hunters. "So young, yet you've already completed training school at Signal!"

"It's not uncommon or anything! The minimum age is only fifteen!" Ruby gulped in precious air as she was finally released from her sister's tight grasp. To be a registered hunter, one needed to obtain a guild card. One must first be proficient with at least a single weapon and deemed acceptable before they're even given a card. The next step would go at being of age or parental consent if too young.

"I was already sixteen by the time I got my guild card. It's only been a week since you've aged." The blonde gave a wide grin at her younger sister.

Ruby crossed her arms as she gave out a loud hmph to her sister. "What about you? You're already at your third rank only after two years! Y-you're already wearing a full Tigrex Set!" Yang raised up her arms as she gave out nervous chuckles. It'd typically take at least one year to go up each individual rank.

"Ha ha.. Oh come on Ruby, you know me. Always looking for a fight, plus I got lucky." True to her word, Yang was wearing a standard low-ranking Blademaster set. Yellow plated scales on the shoulder and knees with large dragon bones covering the chest and joints. Vicious spiked bones protruding from the edges of the armor. Increasing your Hunter Rank was no easy feat.

Ruby herself was wearing the basic of the basic leather armor. The armor that shouted noob to the heavens. The only redeeming defense on it was the plate on the chest and nothing else. A sigh escaped her lips as she looked down at her plain armor. Knowing that it was useless to complain about. An arm wrapped around the small girl as Yang lifted her up in a single arm hug. "Cheer up already! You get to take your first mission today!"

"Yes!" She shouted at her sister as her arms raised up in her lifted position. "My first mission! You'll be coming too right?!"

Ruby's eyes sparkled as she looked over at her sister. Who of which only let out a muffled laugh as she put the dark haired girl down. "Well about that... I'm sort of going on a high ranked gathering quest with my friends, well bye!" Two silhouettes surrounded her as she waved and ran off.

"What a gathering quest?! Not a collection one?! Yang! Those can take weeks!" The girl palmed her outstretched hands as she screamed in frustration towards her sister. Yang still continued to shamelessly run away with a mischievous glint in her lilac eyes.

A hand rested itself on the younger girl's shoulder. Causing Ruby to look up and see a long black haired woman smile down at her with golden eyes. "Ruby. Your sister means well, you know that." The smaller girl only sagged her shoulders as she sadly sighed. "Your first few quests are always the most memorable. Don't let any grossly over ranked hunters ruin it for you."

"I know, I know." Ruby rolled her eyes as she folded her arms. She could understand, but she didn't have to like it.

"Blake! Come on already!" Yang waved over from the other side of the hall. Everyone already prepared to leave with huge bags most likely filled with pickaxes and bug nets and other various tools a hunter would need to collect everything. The thought caused Ruby to grumble as Blake gave a smile to the younger. Her hand left Ruby's shoulder as she chased after Yang and her friends. Leaving the reddish haired girl by herself.

"Mfh, now what?" Ruby silently pouted as she looked at her surroundings.

"C'mon Cardin! Just this once! Let me come with you guys!" A blonde haired boy wearing the starter leather set held his palms together as he begged the group.

"Sorry Jauney boy, you're still in your first rank. Plus, parties full. You know the rules, only four hunters unless it's a raid." A very tall man simply ruffled the hair of the shorter blonde boy.

One could literally hear the pout coming off from the younger hunter. "I'm sure either Dove, Sky or Russel can sit one out, I mean come on! You know I'm great." The blonde said the last sentence in a suave voice. Causing all four of them to laugh at the same time and walk away.

"Oh man, he's too much! I'm so done!" One of the four said as they left the hall towards the quest they picked up. Jaune slumped his shoulders while releasing a sigh.

"Man it looks like another solo qu-" The teen mumbled to himself as he turned around. Only to get startled by a girl around the same age as him. Staring up with sparkling silver eyes.

"You're still in your first rank?!" The glee in her voice couldn't be masked, even if she wanted it to be.

Jaune could only stutter in surprise as he looked around to make sure that she definitely was indeed talking to him. "Uh well, yes?" The girl only let out an excited squeak as she grabbed his hand and dragged him over to the quest board.

"Then let's go on a quest together! It'll be my first!" Jaune attempted to speak up more words, but nothing coherent came out as the girl had dragged him to the board and overlooked all the current available quests.

"So uh… who are you?" The blonde awkwardly asked as he wasn't entirely sure how to go about the situation he was suddenly thrown in. Don't get him wrong, going on a quest with someone sounded awesome, amazing even. Yet the situation presented itself on a bit of an awkward scale.

The girl gave humming sounds over at the pieces of paper plastered all over the board. "Huh? Oh! I'm Ruby Rose!" The girl stuck her hand out for him in gesture.

The blonde looked her up and down before awkwardly shaking her hand with as minimal contact as possible. "Jaune, Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue. Ladies lo-"

"No!" As he was talking, Ruby had turned back over to the board before placing her palms on it with her head down. Jaune flinched as he looked over at Ruby, thinking that he might had said something wrong. Yet his fears were put to pass as the girl spoke to him. "Th-there's no hunting quests currently for our rank!"

The girl almost sobbed out as she once again began to review the board. A stifled laugh escaped Jaune's lips as he grabbed the first quest he saw that their rank allowed. "Well, if you see nothing you like. Grab one at random." The teen raised his arm up as he waved the quest left and right. Ruby's eyes widened as she chased after him.

"Wait, Jaune! What quest did you grab?!" The dark head was a bit surprised as the notion. Jaune only grinned as he walked over to the front desk.

"No clue Rubes!" He laughed as he went to the front desk and began registering the quest. Ruby was already on the counter next to him looking at the quest he had grabbed at random.

『 Mountain Herb Picking – Limit: 5 Days – Reward: 1200z 』

"Jaune… did you just. Grab the worst quest known to hunters?" Jaune would look down at the quest as it had soon been registered under both their names.

"Yup looks like it, no turning back now unless you want to fail your first quest. I'm sure it'll be fun." A grin was on his face as he began to walk over towards the departure center. Ruby slowly staggered behind, her head lay low in shrouded defeat. Yang would never let this go if she knew. The Ruby Rose's first hunter mission. Picking plants.

The wooden carriage rolled loudly through the rock path. Jaune hung over the side as he groaned out a mild heave. He hadn't thrown up so far, but he was getting very close. "So… how long have you been a hunter?" The tinged red head asked as a way to break the ice on their trip to her first mission.

"Ugh… a week maybe? This would make my… third." A slight heave came out as he choked back another bile that threatened to come out full force. "Turned fifteen a couple of months ago. My dad… wouldn't let me... get my license till now." Ruby herself only glistened at that fact, it was real lucky of her to meet another green horn amidst all the veterans in the small town of Vales.

"So Mountain Glenn?" Ruby changed her gaze over towards the mountain that the guild's Felyne was escorting them to.

"Yeah, big place. Easy to get lost at. Speaking of which." Jaune turned around as he laid his back against the edge. Taking deep breaths to prevent the bile that threatened to unleash. He'd then pull the guild card out of his pocket and held it up in front of the girl. It'd soon begin to ping and blink. Ruby tilted her head slightly in confusion as she stared at the card. Such a scene lasted in awkward silence a lot longer than the two would ever admit.

"Uhm, er Jaune. I don'-" It was Ruby who bravely broke the silence first. Jaune blushed as he waved his free hand back and forth in denial.

"No no, it was my fault. This is like your first day, I should have explained." Ruby gave an embarrassed blush as she adverted her eyes. "I'm sending an outward signal to your card. Open it and accept." Ruby would sheepishly pull out her guild card and notice a line of text.

『 Jaune Arc – Courageous Gentleman HR: 1

Total Quests: 3x

Low Rank Quests: 3x

High Rank Quests: 0x

Training School: Completed 1x

Accept? Deny? 』

Ruby suddenly burst out laughing as she saw a picture of Jaune's back with his head facing the camera and his arm flexed into a muscle. She accepted the Guild Card into her list, granting a current Unity of 0.00. Despite that, she couldn't stop laughing at the Arc who just folded his arms and looked away with a tint of blush.

"I'd like to see you try to get a better pose, your picture is literally just you with the training school uniform!" Jaune tried for a counter-strike, but Ruby wasn't having it. The girl would eventually lay against the carriage floor as she tried to calm herself down.

"Sorry… sorry." She apologized to Jaune between giggles. "I just. Wasn't expecting that out of all things. "

"Oh ha ha, come on keep laughing it up." The blonde said sarcastically. Causing Ruby to lose her composure again and began to laugh. Jaune peered over to the girl until he started laughing himself. The two shared that sentiment until Jaune forgot about his motion sickness and released his breakfast over at Ruby's direction.

"NOOOO!" Birds fluttered quickly off trees at the sudden shout. Definitely the start of a beautiful friendship.

The two began to setup the camp at an edge of the mountain. Ruby handled the tent while Jaune dragged over the supply boxes from the carriage that was ready to depart. The small girl only grumbled at all the extra work the two were doing. "Is it really necessary to set up camp? We're probably not even going to be here for a day."

"Hey, don't look at me. Part of the guild rules." The teen spoke up as he opened the blue supply box and shifted through the contents. There were a few potions, rations and ammo supplies in the box. Nothing extraordinary, but still quite useful. "So you remember what I told you?"

"Yeah, yeah. Ping trice when you've collected ten." Ruby waved her hand passively as she went to the equipment box and pulled out a standard Shooter's Barrel Bowgun. After taking care of the mess that happened, Jaune continued to explain that the card could also be used to either track down or send a signal to others in the area. It could even track down the signature of the substance used in paintballs. Before they washed off that is. After which, they began to discuss various meanings they could use the pings for. "So mountain herbs?"

"Fourty of them." Jaune stated as he walked over towards the equipment box and pulled out his own Hunter's Dagger and shield.

"Pick out a random quest he says, he's sure it'll be fun. Ugh." The rose mumbled to herself as she collected her own equipment from the supply box. Along with a few shells.

"Do you want to split up? You can take the western area near the cliffs and I'll scale the top of the mountain." Jaune suggested as he sheathed his weapons.

"Sounds like a plan." The girl grumbled out as she strapped her bowgun to her back. Yang would be laughing at her right now if she could see her sister she was so proud of. Her very first mission, picking plants. Jaune only gave a wave as he began heading in the direction towards the mountain. "Wait isn't the top filled with Velociprey?"

The question fell silent as her new blonde friend was already gone. The rose only shrugged as she started heading towards the cliff side. If Jaune had gotten into some trouble, he'd send out a signal she figured.

All things considered, despite the first quest and an incident that'll never be named. Things have been going particularly well for the young girl. She'd obtained her hunting license and gotten a new friend with the same standing as her on the same day. Usually it'd take weeks, or even a month before one had gotten a steady hunting party to do quests with. She remembered Yang talking about how depressing it could be sitting out in the wilderness with nothing but your Felyne.

A sigh escaped her lips as she thought about her black and red Felyne, Crescent Rose. Then her Felyne sister, Ember Celica. Who of which had a yellowish red coat herself. Their father Tai thought it'd be a good idea to get both of them sister cats when Yang first started off hunting. The cats in particular though weren't Hunter Felyne, just house cats that helped out with personal farms and cooking.

It wasn't long later that Ruby had broken from her thoughts and realized her bag was already full with herbs. She'd have to go back and place them in the deposit box if she wanted to collect more. The girl picked up her guild card and was about to send her pings, when Jaune's own card started sending pings in rapid succession. 'Retreat.' The thought crossed her mind as a cold sweat ran down her face.

She was ready to rush for camp when a loud bellowing roar pierced the area. Causing her to slightly cover her ears. Her silver eyes widen as she met the perpetrator of the roar. It was a Giadrome followed by a pack. What was a Giadrome even doing at Mt. Glenn? 'Those are supposed to be at the Cliffside Forest!'

Panic began to rise as the smaller Giaprey positioned themselves to cut off her escape route and the Giadrome followed shortly behind. Ruby's own back was faced towards the large cliff that she had been collecting herbs at.

"It'll be fun he said!" The girl internally cursed as she readied her weapon with shaky legs.

AN: So well, anyone like? Read and Review. Criticize and all that. Definitely would write more, but don't feel too assured on an idea not many would like. Well till next time!

P.S. Looking for someone with an extensive knowledge on the MHverse so I can stop spending hours on research and more on writing.
