Authors Note: This is my first story please give me any criticisms you may have

"Beacon here I come." Jacob said while leaning back onto his suitcase. After graduating from Signal Academy he is on a bullhead on his way to his next grand adventure, Beacon Academy.

"I can't believe I made it." He said taking out his staff and a cloth and starts polishing it. Jacob was in his casual clothes of a leather jacket, black pants held up by a belt and steel toed boots. His belt has multiple loops carrying his several dust infused shurikens.

His wolf ears perked up when he hears Professor Goodwitch welcoming people to Beacon but he tunes her out. When they finally landed he casually walks out watching some guy in armor sprint out of the bullhead and starts to puke.

"Huh airsickness, that must suck." He shrugs and walks down the courtyard until he hears an explosion to the side. He looks over and sees a girl in a red cloak getting yelled at by none other than Weiss Shnee.

"Yo Ice Queen why don't you let up on her." Jacob says while walking up to her. "Why should I listen to an animal like you." Weiss says before yelling at the girl again.

"Hey why don't you stop acting like a royal bitch and stop yelling at a girl who accidentally sneezed on your precious dust." He says getting in her face. "How dare you, do you know who I am?" Weiss asks angrily. "Your Weiss Shnee, heiress to the SDC own by your jackass of a father."

Weiss glares at him before walking away in a huff.

He looks to the side and sees and girl with raven black hair and a bow...wait did that bow just twitch. He shrugs before turning back to the girl seeing the guy who threw up helping her to her feet.

"Hey are you ok?" I ask the girl, walking up to them. "Yes thank you" she says meekly. They start walking across the courtyard but the girls sad look doesnt go unnoticed by Jacob.

"Hey cheer up, if Ice Bitch starts bothering you again just come tell me." He says with a serious tone before holding out his hand to the two. "I'm Jacob Winston nice to meet you." He says. The girl shakes his hand. "My name is Ruby Rose." She says with a faint blush. "That's a beautiful name." I say causing her to blush fiercely trying to hide in her cloak. "I'm Jaune Arc, short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it." I chuckle at that. "Doubt it." I mutter. "What." Asks Jaune. "Nothing." Beside me Ruby lets out an adorable giggle.

"So I got this thing" she says pulling out a giant scythe. "HOLY SHIT." I say stumbling back. "IS THAT A SCYTHE!?" I yell with my jaw hanging open. "Its also a customizable high impact sniper rifle." She says smiling. "A..Wha?" Jaune asks confused. "Its also a gun Jaune." I say getting over the shock of a little girl wielding a scythe twice her size. "Oh that's cool." Jaune says.

"So what so you guys have?" She asks. "I have this." Jacob says extending his staff. "Ooooh what does it do?" She says excitedly. "Well blades can slide out of the ends turning it into a dual sided glaive. I also have these dust infused shurikens." Ruby squeals excitedly before I put my staff away. "What about you Jaune?" I ask curiously. "Oh I got this sword." He says taking his sword out of the sheath. "Nice." Jacob says. "Yeah and I've got a shield to." He raises his sheath and it expands into a shield.

"So what do they do?" asks Ruby. "The shied gets smaller so when I get tired of carrying it I can just put it away." He says deactivating his shield and putting it back on his belt. "But doesn't it weigh the same regardless?" Jacob asks confused. "Yeah...it does." Jaune says sadly.

"Well I am kind of a dork when it comes to weapons, so I guess I did go a little overboard when designing it." She says. "Oh really we never would have guessed that." Jacob says sarcastically. "Wait you made that." Jaune asks in shock. "Of course, in Signal its mandatory to make your own weapon." Jacob says. "Didn't you make yours?" Ruby asks. "Its a hand-me-down. My great-great grandfather used it to fight in the war." Jaune says. "Cool" Jacob says. "Sounds like a family heirloom to me but I like it." Ruby says. "I happen to like the classics." Jacob says with a smile.

"So why did you guys help me in the courtyard?" Ruby asks curiously. "Why not? My mom always says strangers are just friends you haven't met yet." Jaune says chuckling. "I did it because if when I saw Ms. Ice Bitch yelling at a defenseless girl, a cute one at that, I wouldn't feel right if I didnt help." Jacob says with a smirk.

"Hmmm, hey where are we going?" She says looking around. "I was following you guys." Jacob says worried. "Think there might be a directory or something?" Jaune asks.

"I don't think so." I say chuckling.

"Wait a lot of people are going into that building I think that's the auditorium?" Jacob says looking in the distance. "Well come on then." Ruby says using her semblance to race to the entrance of the auditorium with us following her.

They walking into the autditorium to the sight of a lot of aspiring hunters and huntresses. "Hey Ruby over here I saved you a spot." I look to the side to see a girl with long golden hair. "Oh I gotta go, see you guys after the ceremony." Ruby says before running to the blond girl. "Hey wait, great now where am I going to find a nice quirky girl to talk to." Jaune says lowering his head. "Chin up man, you'll find someone." Jacob says walking towards the Ruby and the blonde just to see Weiss yelling Ruby again.

"Hey Ruby why is Ice Bitch angry now?" Jacob asks Ruby. "Look its the freak again." Weiss says snarkily. Jacob pull out one of his shurikens and holds it up to Weiss' neck drawing a trickle of blood. "Call me that again I will slice your neck wide open." I whisper menacingly. "Jacob?" Ruby asks fearfully. He turns around to look at her and his gaze softens. He pulls his shurikens away and puts it away.

"Sorry Ruby but I will not tolerate racism." Jacob says seriously. "Just stay away from me." Weiss says before walking off. "Its ok just dont do that again." She asks smiling. "I can't promise that." He says before turning to the blonde. "My name is Jacob Winston." I say holding a hand to her. "I'm Yang Xiao-Long and this is my sister." She says shaking my hand before gesturing to Ruby. "Oh I see." I say before we turn to the stage to see Ozpin walking towards the microphone.

"I'll...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." He says before walking off the stage while Glynda Goodwitch walks up to the microphone. "Tonight you will gather in the ballroom and tomorrow you will begin your initiation. Be ready, you are dismissed." She says walking away.

"He seemed kind of off." Yang says. "Its almost like he wasnt even there." Ruby says confused. "It was all to true though." Jacob says under his breath. We start walking to the ballroom in a comfortable silence.

Once we get there Jacob heads to the restroom to change into his sleepwear consisting of a pair of black sweatpants and a black sleeveless shirt. He was about to head out when he sees Jaune in a blue onesie.

"Oh hell no." He says dragging Jaune back into the restroom and heading him an extra pair of his sleepwear. "If you dont want to be a give turnoff to every woman here you will put these on." He groans before taking them and putting them on.

Once he gets them on Jacob leaves the restroom and finds a secluded corner of the ballroom. "What a great first day." He mumbles before falling into a dreamless sleep
