Chapter Two: Broke, No Ammo, and Hospital Bills

*Hospital, Town of Patch*

It's not the first time that I've been inside of a hospital room, waiting for a friend to recover. Talking with a random old man while I wait, is new though. He takes a seat on the other side of Karen's bed. He's dressed in a black suit, grey dress shirt, green scarf, round lens glasses, with a walking stick.

"So your the one that Tai told me about. Not many people can do what you have. Clearing out a nest of Arachne is no easy feat to do, and killing their brood mother even more so." 'It seems that english is the current language. Thank God for that class I took on it,' I think to myself before speaking, "You have a point?" The man cocks a silver eyebrow at my rather short comment. "Do you know who I am?" he asks. Shaking my head no, I open my menu to check how many bullets I have left. "My Name is Ozpin. I'm the headmaster of Beacon Academy." he says, probably ignoring my arm and hand gestures. I let out a sigh, I have three magazines for my assault rifle left, and ten for my side arm. 'Great, I'm broke, almost no ammo, and hospital bills are expensive.' He catches on at my sigh, "Something wrong, young man?" I stare him straight in the eyes and say, "Low on Ammo, busted gun, no money, my friend is hurt, and a hospital bill is coming. Take your pick on which three I'm most concerned about."

"Hmmm, that is quiet the predicament. Join Beacon and I will solve your problems," he says. "You have my attention," I reply. "Beacon has a weapon forge, housing, a monthly allowance, one of the best medical facilities. I'll also cover your Faunus friend's bill." I think over it for a moment, 'A weapon forge is needed to repair the Tiamat, the monthly allowance can be used for bullets, getting that bill paid will be a relief, and a place to sleep that's not in the field is nice. I'll tack on something of my own though to his deal.'

"You got a deal, on one condition. My friend comes with me." I reply. "Of course your friend can come. Before I leave though, tell me. Do you know what Aura is?" I shake my head no, and with that, Ozpin leaves.

*A few hours later, The hospital room*

Getting up to stretch my legs, I see something where Ozpin was sitting. Walking over, I see that it's a small white rectangle, with a gold color diamond in the middle. Beside it is a note of some sort. 'Mr. Jorge, I believe that it's safe to assume that you don't have a Scroll, based of of what Mr. Xiao-Long has told me. Underneath the Scroll I have also taken the liberty of leaving three hundred Lein for you to use as you see fit. Classes at Beacon start in a few weeks. Mr. Xiao-Long has agreed to allow you to stay at his house, and to bring you to Vale to attend Beacon. Signed, Professor Ozpin.' "That's pretty kind of him, helping out a total stranger. I best change into something else." I think out loud. Opening the menu, I open the Equipment screen and change into the Battle Jacket. (It's the starting player outfit. I recolored mine to be a black jacket, crimson shirt, with black pants) Now in fresh clothes, I put the Scroll and Lien in my pockets then go see if I can find a gun shop. As I walk out the door, I bump into someone. It's a girl wearing a red cloak, a black long sleeve shirt, a black corset with red decal, with matching skirt and boots. She has black hair with red tips, silver eyes, and a cute face. "Sorry!" I hastily say, as I help her off the ground. "What?" is her response. 'Whoops, wrong language,' I think to myself. "Sorry, I'm bilingual. Common is not my first language." I say to her.

She just cocks her head to the side for a moment then straightens up and says, "Your Jorge right?" I slowly nod my head yes. She smiles at that a little before saying, "My names Ruby. It's a pleasure to meet you." She holds out a hand. Taking her hand i shake it and say, "Jorge, the pleasure is mine. Say do you know where I can go to get some ammo?" It was like I just spoke a magic spell. She grabbed my arm and took off like a high speed round from a LMG.

*Outside of a gunshop*

Coming to a stop outside of a place named 'Blades and Bullets' I stumble a little. Ruby looks at me sheepishly, "I'm little bit of a weapon nerd. Wait, where's your weapon? Did it get left behind?" 'She goes from cute to concerned in .02 seconds over a gun?' I think to myself before saying, "Nope, it's right here," as I pull it from my Inventory and show it to her. She perks right up at the sight of it. "Ohmygoshwhatisitcalled?!" she rushes out. I smile at her reaction to it before saying, "Its called the Cyber MTX 2. It uses 7.62 x51mm Armor Piercing rounds. I also carry Hollow Point, Incendiary, Explosive, and standard rounds. I'm out on everything except the standard, even then I have three magazines left of those. So I'm hoping to restock them, before I go to Beacon." I didn't think it was possible for a person to get this hyped for a school. "Your going to Beacon?! That's so cool! My big sister yang is going as well! I wonder if you'll meet her?" Ejecting the guns magazine, I remove one of the bullets before putting the magazine back in and putting the gun up. Turning to face Ruby, "Can we head inside Ruby? We can talk shop after words.", I ask.
