Hello peoples. This is a RWBY fic (obviously) and... well... that's about it. I have invested a lot of time into making this story, even if i am barely finishing up chapter 2. Anyways, I hope this story meets your standards. Happy Reading!

'Fuck, this isn't as good an idea as I had thought it would be.' I thought as I landed on the next roof with an grunt. I sighed as I continued my run to the airship docks. Not a hurried run, just a sort of "I don't want to be stuck behind some asshole in line" kind of run.

I hope I packed enough for living in a dorm, don't want to be underprepared. I went through a mental checklist making sure I had everything I needed for at least a week. I thought about it 'I can come back any weekend really so it's not a big deal if I did forget anything'.

It finally happened, I was accepted into Beacon Academy. After a month of anticipation they finally told me I had been accepted. That was two days ago. Today, I'm off to the campus. 'Just wish they had told me sooner, whoever is in charge must be quite irresponsible...' I stopped to think about it for a few moments 'Well they did accept me, so they know what they're doing.' I gave myself a shit-eating smirk for my narcissism

I was starting myself up for running again until I heard someone cry out what sounded like distress. 'God damn it this better not be important, and if it is it better not make me late' I walked over to the edge where I heard the cry come from to find a back alleyway with a deer faunus woman and what appeared to be her daughter, surrounded by a group of human looking 'faunus hating' thugs surrounding the two and cornering them at a dead end. I put my luggage down so that it wouldn't hold me down in case I got in a fight 'Which would probably be the result if I intervened'

From where I was I could hear them, see them, as well as watch the passing people who glanced at the scene before continuing on with their pathetic lives 'Those fuckers watch as their own people are attacked! If they won't do something, I will!' Even the faunus passerby did nothing to help, presumably afraid of what would happen if they intervened, they had enough on their plate for just being a faunus, they didn't want to attract attention to themselves and make it worse…

Fear is powerful weapon

"-ave a great time. It would be fun, come on bab-" I interrupted one of the thugs by falling in between him and the faunus as he spewed some vulgar bullshit meant to calm her, it didn't work, it never works. No amount of sweet talking from a bad person ever makes what they do seem better, it only shows the victims how little regret and guilt the "bad people" truly have.

"You fuckers have to the count of-" A thug interrupted me mid sentence. My assumption being he couldn't see a weapon on me, thing is, I hid mine well, though I probably won't need it for a bunch of lowlifes like these not as-dumb-as-I-thought thugs. 'So these thugs aren't a bunch of idiots with no brains'. The thug came at me with an overhead slash that I easily avoided by side-stepping.

I kicked him hard in the side as he passed by me and sent him flying into a wall with an audible crack as he hit it, whether it was him or the wall that cracked, I don't know, nor do I care. I looked back at the group to see four left, with two of them charging me from different sides, while two stayed back. One of the thugs that stayed back pulled out a rifle of some sort and started firing at me.

I easily bobbed and weaved through the shots, decreasing the distance between me and the charging thugs rapidly. I quickly punched the thug on the left, stunning him before I ripped his bat-like weapon out of his grasp with my right arm and grabbing his arm with my left and flipped him forward causing him to land on his back. I saw the other thug come at me with a sideways strike.

I dropped the thug I was holding and spun around to deflect the strike, but before I could, my arm was hit with a shot from the rifleman causing me to miss the parry and took a direct shot to my side from the thug's bat. With my aura and their unempowered strength they did basically nothing.

I froze after the blow landed, and could see in the corner of my eye that the thugs thought they did something and smiled. Oh how wrong they were… oh so very wrong. Their smiles immediately disappeared when they saw a smirk form on my face. In a flash I brought the bat against the thugs jaw and quickly spun to do a golf-like strike against the thug on the ground, straight to his head.

With those two down all that was left was the thug armed with a rifle and the other thug that never engaged. I saw now he had pulled out a sword. Thinking faster than the rifleman, I threw the bat at breakneck speeds and it hit him directly in his head, knocking him unconscious immediately. The thug with the sword charged me and I grabbed a bat lying near one of the unconscious thugs to block it with. The sword got stuck in the bat and I quickly swung my leg into a sweeping strike to knock him off balance before driving my elbow into his gut

Finally with all the thugs taken out I was able to make sure that the faunus I had protected were okay, but when I looked back I saw that the mother was hugging her daughter, I turned to walk out of the alley 'Lucky family...happy endings don't come very often in this world, enjoy it while you can.' As I left the alleyway I saw a black hooded figure hurry around a corner and out of sight. I didn't think too much about it at the time and decided to start heading to the docks again, but before I could I was hugged from behind. "Thank you for saving me and my sister" 'Oh, I guess they're sisters'

I turned to her after she let go and looked her in the eyes with a genuine smile, while also noticing she was a good deal younger than I had thought "It was no problem I'm just happy to help" She smiled back and was about to turn back before I stopped her by grabbing her arm, both our smiles fading. "But, next time this happens I won't be here to save you" I looked her dead in the eyes "You need to learn to defend yourself" I let go of her and pulled out my scroll. "These are some places to get martial arts training as well as some weapon practice" I showed her some addresses in the city. "You would do best to write them down , in case you forget." She nodded even though I could tell she was confused.

After writing down the addresses on her own scroll she looked back at me "Thank you, again, but who are you, and why are you doing this?" 'A fair question'.

I looked her in the eyes and gave her my signature sudo-smile. A fake smile practiced to perfection, in which I give not a single hint that it's fake. "I'm a hunter-in-training, I did because it's the right thing" 'Bullshit answer, that's what any other hunter would say. I did it because the assholes who attack their own people because of a few physical differences deserve to get their ass' kicked. I actually wouldn't have thought of it if she hadn't stopped me'

I turned to walk away "I have an airship to Beacon Academy to catch" I looked at her ,now giving her my genuine smile "My name is Hiro Aeolus and i'd think it best if you payed attention to the news, 'cause you will be seeing me a lot there" I smiled and waved as I jogged away

I heard her yell "I will!" from behind me and I could feel the smile on her face as she said it. Hopefully she began to call the police… probably, she seemed like she had a good deal of IQ 'At least there are some good people in this world'.I looked at my scroll and exploded on the inside

I didn't want the woman I saved to think she made me late 'Which she did'. I may not like this world, but making friends has benefits, they help you, they support you, and they do nice things for you. I waited until I rounded the corner to run into a full sprint before using that momentum to leap onto a building to start my roof hopping routine, trying to go as fast as possible to get to the docks in time.

Running so much was beginning to take it's toll on me. My aura helps with stamina, but trying to jump from building to building for a half hour, then getting into a fight 'Which I will admit, was more of a break than anything' then sprinting from building to building for 10 minutes isn't the easiest thing. I saw the airship in the distance, which was a relief, knowing that I wasn't late.

I got there as the last person was getting on the airship and hurried into it 'At least I wasn't stuck behind some asshole' .I chuckled to myself at my lame attempt at humor. Observing the people around me I came to a realization… I'm surrounded by a bunch of annoying teenagers, in fact, the only people on the ship who looked like they wouldn't bother me as much of the others was a girl wearing all black clothing and had a black bow on her head who was just sitting down and reading and… The same black hooded figure from the streets was near the front looking out at what was in front of us. I couldn't really tell what sex the person what but they had a feminine look. 'I'll just leave it as a "her" for now'. 'She' had a black hoodie on and was wearing black jeans , and, unlike teens these days, weren't skinny jeans. There looked to be some kind of long, thick hilt on her back, though I couldn't tell what kind of weapon it was for.

This person intrigues me 'Who is this person? Why were they running away when I left the alley? Why is 'she' wearing such covering clothing? Is she trying to hide something?'. Thoughts were running wild in my head and I had no idea why. Maybe I was just tired

Heading over to the least populated part of the airship, I decided to lay against the wall and get some rest. Finding a comfortable position I began to close my eyes trying to get some rest for the little time I would be on this ship. I, however, did notice the hooded figure turn to watch me from 'her' position near the front, probably thinking I was asleep. 'She' watched me carefully, yet 'her' body language said 'she' was a little nervous. 'Ugh, my brain doesn't have the capacity to think so hard at the moment'. Instead of thinking about the hooded figure I decided to fully close my eyes and let myself drift off to sleep.

I hope you enjoyed chapter 1. I'm not gonna be modest and say "Oh it's not much" because I have put a hell of a lot of work into this. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I hope you plan on reading the next.

Trivia#1 I am not very good at author's notes, there's always stuff I want to say but can never remember when actually writing it.

Have a wonderful day
