Our main character, Nugi, has acquired the abilities of 'The Gamer' and 'Saiyan Blood' in the introduction, and is then told to sleep and is thrust into the world of Remnant, all the while believing himself to be having a simple dream. Let us see how this plays out.
I do not own RWBY.
~Nugi
Chapter 2: Welcome To Beacon, Kid
As Jai and the "bubble" world fade away, the world of Remnant seemingly fades into existence around Nugi, who is completely unaware as he is sleeping very peacefully. That is, until that unexplainable warm, comfortable feeling of relaxation is replaced by a cold breeze sending a chill up his spine.
Nugi roused himself from his sleep, rolling over a few times and reaching for a blanket, only to find that there is none, and finally reluctantly sitting up. Forcing his eyes open and finally actually starting to wake, he finally realizes that not only is he not in a bed, he is outdoors.
"What the hell kind of prank is this? Me? Outside? lol."
With one big yawn, he stretches his arms and legs out, arching his back. He starts to stand up to find himself in what he thinks to be a park, standing under one, lone tree. He walks out from under the tree and basks in the sunlight for the first time in ages.
"I should get out more often. Feeling the sun on my shoulders ain't half bad, haha!" he laughs, finally hearing the birds chirping around him and taking in the lush greenery around him, smelling the freshness of nature.
"What a weird dream." He mumbled to himself, not noticing the girls walking by him looking at him and giggling and guys giving him looks of pure disgust. "I mean seriously, Saiyan Blood, half saiyan ,hahaha! I wish. Why the hell would I choose to be a half saiyan anyway. It's not like half saiyans ever surpassed the pure blooded saiyans."
Another cold breeze blew by and the boy went to put his hands into his hoodie pockets, only to feel his hands touch air. He looked down and saw that he didn't have his hoodie on, or a shirt at all for that matter. "Why the hell am I outside without a shirt on?" He wondered.
Then the unthinkable happened. A blue window popped up in front of him. Just a little blue window with a few words inside it, shaped like a rectangle, floating about a foot away from him. Then a ding sounded in his head and another window popped up over lapping the previous window. On this was displayed just a few simple words that would shake Nugi's foundation and make him question his own sanity.
*on the window*
*You have acquired the skill "Affinity for Nature" Passive Level 1 0% towards next level
Users of this skill feel at ease and are more in sync with nature.
All senses sharpened 10% while in nature.*
Nugi was startled but did not jump to any conclusions and tried to take a moment to calm down and think about this for a second.
"Ok, let's relax Nugi. This is just a dream. There is absolutely no way in hell that this is real. It's just a very vivid dream. Remember when you picked that ability in the bubble with that weird narrator/guide thingie with the annoying, monotone voice". After taking a few deep breaths, he had managed to calm himself down. After all, this was just a dream right. Whatever, just go with the flow.
He waved the window away and looked at the next window under it.
*1 Wisdom gained for realizing the need for fresh air*
"…Wow" Nugi said to himself, not expecting a certain blonde brawler walking up to him from behind to hear him.
"What's 'Wow' is those toned abs of yours." Yang said in a flirty tone, a grin on her face while she looked him up and down twice before finally making contact with Nugi's steel blue eyes.
"You're not half bad, yourself, Blondie" the dark haired boy said, matching her flirty tone while maintaining eye contact with her shining, lilac orbs.
Another ping sounded off in his head but he dismissed it brushing his dark, greyish black hair over his ears, finally breaking eye contact with Yang, and noticing the Rest of team RWBY minus Weiss walking up behind her. Yang finally deciding to say something, introduced herself and her teammates.
"Hi, my name's Yang. This is the rest of my team, my sister Ruby," Ruby waved, "and my partner Blake." Blake nodded, not taking her eyes off of her book.
"Nugi" was the only word he offered reaching his hand out to shake Yang's.
"Any idea where the hell I am?" He asked her, the fact that he was at Beacon legitimately not yet having dawned on him.
"Did you hit your head or something?" Yang asked, a little surprised by the fact that the boy had been sleeping outside with absolutely no clue where he was. "You're at Beacon Academy, the best school for hunters in all of Remnant!" Ruby exclaimed, rather excitedly.
"Hmm. Makes sense." Nugi mumbled to himself, now thinking about what he should do next. He finally came to a decision. "Can one of you point me towards Ozpin's office?" He requested with a rather dull, uninterested voice, as if he was just along for the ride.
"Sure, we just came from there ourselves." Yang pointed her thumb over her back at the path they had arrived upon. "Just walk on that path until you see a big clock tower. His office is on the top floor."
"Thanks." Nugi said over his shoulder as he walked right on by them to the path Yang had pointed out to him, making his way to the clock tower.
"Come in" Nugi heard through the door to Ozpin's office. He walked through the wooden doors into the office and sat down in one of the chairs in front of Ozpin's desk. Ozpin hadn't turned around to face him when he said "I haven't seen or heard of you before so I assume you are going to introduce yourself?"
"Yes, sir. I'm Nugi. I recently woke up here on the grounds of your school and I have no clue how I got here or what I'm doing here."
At this Ozpin spun around in his chair and looked at Nugi. He looked Nugi over noting that the boy had not been wearing a shirt. "So why exactly did you think to come to me when you awoke rather than returning wherever it was that you came from?" Ozpin said looking at Nugi quizzically.
"Well when I found out I was at Beacon I just decided to kinda go with the flow and I felt like I ought to come here to see the headmaster of the school. I don't really know why exactly I thought that."
"So what exactly did you want with me then?" Ozpin asked seemingly unfazed by the lack of coherency Nugi had displayed.
"I don't know actually. I guess I figured it would come to me when I got here." Nugi said while legitimately thinking on what to do next.
"Well I did get all those abilities and I suppose this is the world of RWBY. I guess I may as well aspire to become a hunter not really anything else to work towards here. And I do find myself at the greatest combat academy in this world. Meh. Screw it."
"Well since I'm here anyway and there isn't really anything in particular else that I can think of having to do, would it be possible for me to come to Beacon? I fancy myself a pretty strong fighter, and I don't see any hurt in killing monsters and getting stronger, right?" Nugi spoke up sounding like he was questioning himself rather than asking something of Ozpin.
Ozpin surprisingly was not taken aback in the slightest by the statements Nugi had made, but rather very amused. "You do realize how hard students work to get into this school right? Not only did you just say all of those things as if they were not important or difficult in the slightest, but you basically stated that you think there is no true importance to all the struggles and hardships people go through just to attend this academy."
"O-oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it li-" Nugi didn't get to finish his statement, as Ozpin interrupted him saying something that shocked both Nugi and Glynda who had just walked into the room.
"Very well Nugi. If you truly are so strong a fighter and so confident that you belong in this school even without any transcripts or prior application then I think we should give you a chance."
Glynda looked absolutely livid as she began to go off on Ozpin "What in the HELL do you think-" Once again Ozpin interrupted.
"However, you will have to pass a test more dangerous than the initiation that other students in this school must take to enroll. If you agree to that I will explain further." Ozpin said all this while never breaking eye contact with Nugi.
"I agree to this test." Nugi nodded in agreement.
Ozpin continued. "In our academy at this moment is one three man team. In all the history of this academy, never has this occurred. All teams are supposed to have 4 members but this team is lacking one member due to an oversight made before initiation."
"Despite being a three man team, this team is the most skilled and talented in the entire school. The team is a first year team, consisting of three girls. One Ruby Rose, an incredibly skilled and talented Scythe wielder trained by the greatest scythe wielder Remnant has ever seen who skipped 2 years and entered this academy on request by me; Blake Belladonna, who uses a cleaver pistol combo weapon named gambol shroud, and can make shadow clones with her semblance," Ozpin now takes a sip of his coffee.
"and Yang Xiao Long, a talented and incredible powerful brawler, specializing in hand to hand combat using shotgun gauntlets named Ember Celica." Ozpin finished.
"And what exactly will my test be Headmaster Ozpin?"
"You are to fight against Yang Xiao Long in the arena." Ozpin stated.
At this Nugi went deep into thought. "Will I be able to beat Yang? Sure I may be a saiyan but that by itself doesn't make me very powerful. I need to train and fight to get stronger regardless of being a saiyan, on top of the fact that I've never really fought before. Plus Yang isn't far from being on the level of a superhuman herself and I don't even have a weapon." Then something else popped into his head.
"Wait a second. This is a dream. There's no harm in fighting her even if I lose. Plus this is a dream so I'll probably win anyway."
"Sure why not, seems fair enough." Nugi said, agreeing with himself and going with the flow of things.
"Alright then Nugi. I will inform Miss Xiao Long of her match with you. What say you we schedule it for tomorrow at noon?" Ozpin said rather flatly.
"Sounds good to me, headmaster." Nugi said as he stood and began making his way to the door before Glynda stopped him.
"I can't help but notice your lack of a shirt." She said as she tossed a shirt at the boy. "Good luck tomorrow." Glynda said in an unusually cheery voice before muttering under her breath, "Monty knows you're gonna need it kid."
Nugi continued out the door, saying nothing as he put on the shirt and made his way to the elevator.
Once he was out of earshot Ozpin turned once again looking out the window. "This is going to be interesting." He said to no one in particular before letting out a light chuckle and then taking a sip out of his coffee.
Another short chapter for you here, this one clocking in at just about 2000 words. I simply couldn't wait to upload the second chapter even though I had just written the first chapter a couple of hours ago. Our main character still has no clue that this isn't a dream and is probably heading into the beat down of a life time. Let's just hope he can manage to pull something off or else we might be seeing a massacre haha!
