I--I

How did I get here? I'm in some kind of store looking at comics with (fairly good) music playing in my ears. I feel kinda strange too but I don't think I could describe how.

Does this girl want to die or something!? I mean seriously! Don't just ignore someone trying to rob you!

I close my eyes. Let's see here... He has a black suit, red tie, red tinted glasses and a fucking sword. Who even uses those anymore? Anyways it seems like there are others dressed like him. Hmm... Is seems I am wearing a red cloak, my cloak is black so it isn't mine.

He reaches out to touch me. I duck down and grab the hand, fliping him over me in the process. The sword goes flying out of his grasp. I backflip and snatch it out of the air. When I land he is already getting up so I rush him. I stab slightly to his right, he dodges into the blade and I stab him in the face. For some reason that isn't enough so I slash him in the stomach and then to finish him off I decapitate him. Now what to do about the other men?

What was that!? OH GOD JOHNS DEAD!

Great they see me. And this one has an actual gun too. I throw my sword into the the barrel of his gun right as he fires it. This causes the gun to blow up and the sword to fall. I slide to where it is falling and pick it up again. A few seconds later and I got my second kill. This time however they all noticed and started to charge me except the one in the white coat, he must be the leader.

I jump onto the heads of one of the suited men and leap over them. The white man pulls out his cane and points it at me like it is a gun.

I'ma blow this little shit to pieces. Can have someone like her getting in my way. Cinder wouldn't like that now would she?

Ok so it's some kind of grenade launcher built into a cane. That's actually pretty clever.

I flip upside down and push off the ceiling doing a roll when I land. He immediately started running when he saw that I was going to get to him. I chase him up some latter's. When we reach the top of the building some kind of airship is waiting for him. He jumps in and I jump in after him. He seems surprised at this. Did he really expect me to just stop?

God damit this kid won't leave me alone!

I start a downward strike but switch to a side swipe when he brings his cane up to parry. He drops the cane which I pick up. I start attacking him with a furry of blows ending with a stab in the heart. Anyways did the pilot not notice that I'm here too? Oh she's just wearing headphones. Kinda like me actually! It is good music after all.

I walk up to the cockpit and sit down in the copilot seat next to the girl piloting the ship. She looks at me breifly but she is too lost in thought about her plans to get magical powers. I'd ask to be a part of it (cuz I want magic power too) but then I would have to explain how I learned of thier plans.

Wait a second that's not one of my men!

Finally! She noticed! Now be a good girl and land the plane so you can fight me.

Suddenly an explosion hit the ship. I step out to the (still open) Hull and see a woman with some kind of wand and a cape.

That girl is in danger! I have to get her ou- wait why is she in the hull like that!?

The airship turns to face her and lowers a bit. Perfect! I jump off and stand next to the woman.

"Hey"

Her face turns red as she looks at me. She's pissed. I hide my sword in my cloak, take a step back and put my hands out.

"Woah! Calm down! Everythings fine so there is no reason to get worked up about it!"

She stops looking anger at me but deep down she still is. Also I'm now realizing that this isn't my face. I must have been soul-swaped. Neat.

"Just come with me"

She grabs my hand and we start walking. Eventually we reach what looks like some kind of an interagation room. The woman who I learn is called Goodwitch starts talking to me.

"I cannot believe you did something like that! You could have gotten yourself and those around you killed!"

"I had that under control I'll have you know. And if by those around me you ment the guys attacking me then maybe they SHOULD be killed!"

"That's another thing! I saw 2 decapitated body's in that store! Don't you know that you should avoid lethal force whenever possible!?"

She pauses

"Now. As much as I would love to give you a piece of my mind there is someone else that wants to speak to me."

She's all yours Ozpin. I hope you see something in her that I don't.

She leaves the room and another man enters with a plate of cookies. He must be Ozpin.

"Ruby Rose."

He leans in.

"You have... Silver eye's"

I haven't seen a silver eyed warrior in decades

"Hi. I see you already know me?"

I take a bite out of one of the cookies. It's pretty good! Anyways if this person knows who I am supposed to be then I should probably not do anything to make him suspect me. Shouldn't be hard, I've got enough experience for this.

"Yes that's right. I know lots of people I'll have you know."

Damn. That actually makes this harder. I can't call her out on things she knows I know. Oh well, I wanted to have fun with this conversation. I guess I'll get straight to the invitation then.

"So Ruby. Do you know who I am?"

She should know who the headmaster is. She has been wanting to go to Beacon for awhile now.

"You're Ozpin. The headmaster at beacon."

"Do you want to join my school?"

"Yes! I do!"

That's what he expects of my so I should play along. I wonder what's so special about this school anyway? More importantly what can I get out of it? I'm far more interested in whatever Cinder has planned then going to a goddamn school. Oh well

At the end of each chapter there will be a segment talking about the MC's background, skills or Ability's.

Background - Mindreading:

The MC has the ability to read the thoughts of everyone around her. This Ability is passive and cannot be turned off. She has gotten used to it so this doesn't bother her at all.

She can also do 2 other things with it by focusing a bit:

1: She can perceive anything those around her can perceive. This lets her basically see through walls and is how she saw her own face.

2: She can instantly understand meaning rather than just the words. This lets her learn new languages on the fly and is how she can understand everything dispite them not actually speaking English (this isn't earth afterall).

Mind reading is not a semblance as the MC does not have Aura and it is not Magic either. It is uneffected by the weaknesses of either as a result of this.
