''Ugh '' I said 'I feel like I got run over by a train' as I woke up I started looking around. And soon enough I found myself floating above a person, normally I would have freaked over the floating part but said person was looking directly at me surprise coloring his eyes.

"Umm" I murmured not quite sure what to say in these situations "….Hello?"

As soon as this word left my lips, like a wakeup call he let out the most piercing shriek I ever heard "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" 'if I had still got my body I was sure my ears would be ringing', after that he started failing his bottom first in the floor letting me notice the environment I am in for the first time

'Huh a toilet stall' I was floating inside a toilet stall in what seems to be rwby version of a plane, 'a bullhead I think' I turned to face the person to whom I will be stuck for quite the long time to see him pointing a finger at me while looking at me directly and trying to formulate the words to ask me something, he looked terrified 'not surprising considering the situation'

I myself am feeling quite depressed at this situation, suddenly being teleported and not only I don't get to own a body, I got thrown in another world as some soul symbiont, and the person I got stuck is the worst one at the beginning of the story 'seriously I was studying medicine, my relation with my parents was great and I even got a girlfriend, why would I leave that to risk my life like that'

Don't get me wrong here, it's not that I don't like the situation, seriously I am hating myself for getting excited by it, it is only because I am feeling bitter that after I pulled myself back and created a life I would call great I would suddenly lose everything.

"W... WH what are you?" it's only after being interrupted by my blonde friend sitting on floor over there that I got out of my trance, he looked just like in the show, tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, scrawny and looking like a scared cat 'the last one could because of me, but whatever'

Looking at him prompt me to look at myself and found that the only change that I got was a dark shining light enveloping my whole buddy which I soon realized was my aura 'huh seems like me not having a body make my aura always visible'

"w wh why are you ignoring me ?" I was once again startled from my trance by the scared teen whom I was sharing the toilet with, 'now how do I deal with situation' I didn't have the experience necessary to deal with this, but it's not like I had a choice in the matter, I don't think telling him the true will be a great idea, so a should lie to him, but what kind of lie should I give him, something that will appease him but not something so overly unbelievable that will lead him to distrust me, hmm wait I got it

"Oh you can see me now" I said and from his expression it seemed that while not having a body, being able to talk to jaune will not be a problem, but that wasn't the only thing I got from his expression, it seems that I only got him more confused

"Wha what do you mean by that?" ok this will be crucial for the continuation of the conversation so I have to play it cool, I put a show by making a exasperate face "I can't believe this, to think that afterlife for me is being stuck with a teenager as some kind of spirit" I said.

Jaune seamed still in shock as the only reaction I got from him was "a...a spirit? "He lowered his pointed finger to use his hand to get himself up, "yes" I said "I didn't think that after my death I would find myself above you while you were sleeping floating near the ceiling"

"What?" It seemed that he didn't anticipate this answer, not like any answer he would have got from me would have been better.

"yes I freaked so bad that my first reflex was to cry but what was surprising is that you didn't wake up at all and soon I was running all around the hotel you were staying at and no one seemed to notice me while phasing trough wall like they were nothing but what was worse the more the distance between us grown the mere transparent l become letting me believe that if I strayed more I would disappear "

Lie after lie flowed through my mouth, so much that I got disturbed by how easy it come to me, finishing my speech I focused on the blonde that was facing me, and while he lost the confused look, he now wore a face with the words 'I am at a loss' written over it.

I stayed silent letting him digest my words while waiting for him to contribute to our conversation, but that only lead to a long awkward silence, one that continued for over a minute. 'well I should have continued talking' and While I don't mind looking at the dumbfounded face he's sprouting right now I feel that I should disturb this silence before someone come to check on him. So I said "you don't have anything to say?"

This got him to blink, once, twice then he pinched himself. "You know you aren't dreaming right?" I said, prompting him to give a tired sigh " so I am talking to a ghost and said ghost is telling me that his existence is linked with me and that it's been days you've been floating around my head and literally spying on me and not letting me have a once of privacy"

This time it was my turn to blink, "well if you put it that way…" I started and I heard his sigh "sometimes I hate life" it seemed like he was going to continue only to be interrupted by a voice "attention passengers, we are going to take off, destination: beacon" the announcement finished, the bullhead started flying.

'hmm, so I was send all the way to the beginning of the story' at least this gives me time to prepare jaune for what's coming next, while he survived in the story the fall of beacon and was still alive at the last volume, just my presence could change that, bullshit butterfly effect and all that.

"bwaaaaaah" hearing this sound I focused on jaune only to find him puking, face first in the toilet seat 'hah' I mused ' so he does have his legendary motion sickness' hearing my little laugh, the blonde turned to face me, his face looking green "hah, right laugh all you want" he wasn't amused, in fact he seemed angry and had a defeated look on his face, he continued "to think that even ghosts would mock my motion sickness" and then his face turned greener and returned to what he was doing

Finding this funny, I laughed

"So, are you feeling better?" I asked him, seeing that he was puking for a good part of the flight, while marching towards the windows overlooking the scenery, and while I marched I got to spot several important persons to the plot, hearing me he turned to face me "I told you to not speech with me when they are people around us, I don't want to be dubbed as the weird kid who talk to himself from day one" he said.

This amused me, but I didn't let show and I started comforting him "don't worry about that, if I were you, I would worry about being called something like vomit boy" which they will do, or at the very least one person will do it, said person is standing several feets beside us.

That got him to turn back and continue towards the windows, he said mockingly "haha very funny, but it would have been great if you hadn't jinxed it …" 'hmm, did he realize that he never asked for my name?' he didn't stop facing the windows "I realized I never heard your name…" I think him not facing me is an effort to not earn the stigma of being weird, 'the poor boy think he can avoid it, I pity him'

"It's only now that you realize that, I huffed, talk about respect, its luca" he gives me a sideway glance, and sigh "well, judging from what you told me, it seems we are stuck together for the time being , so nice to meet you" he said like I was a pain in the ass, this got me a little angry

"Hey" I said "it's not like it's my choice, isn't it? At least you have a body" he gives me a deadpan stare "…you're stuck to say body, you know that right?" Feeling a little aggravated, I planned to take my revenge, "you know" I started "you seem healthy enough for someone who got motion sickness" and like by magic, his face started to take a very bright shade of green, and looked like he was trying to force something back to his stomach, I can't begin to describe how proud I am feeling about myself.

Seeing the pride shining in my face, jaune leveled his best death at me, I couldn't bring myself to care at all, it was to funny, he was going to say something only to be interrupted by the hologram of beacon's resident headmistress "hello and welcome to beacon" she started, and heard yang asking who she was from the crowd 'it's just like what I watched

"My name is Glinda Goodwitch" aaaand here is the ow "you are among a privilege few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy" at this I could see jaune turn a little grim while clenching his hands, I should talk to him latter about it "our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future huntsmen and huntresses it is your duty to uphold it you have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task and now it is our turn to provide you with knowledge and training to protect our world"

And with this her body begin to fade, and people started to head towards the windows to look at view, which is what jaune tried to do, only to lose to motion stomach.

He started running looking for somewhere to unload his 'load' only to let some slip one yang's shoes getting a grossed out reaction out of ruby and yang

"You know" I started "if getting on bullheads gives this kind of reaction you should have taken something else to come here" this got him to look up from his trashcan and glare "shut up" he spited "it all your fault, if you didn't make me remember it, all this wouldn't have happened"

After the bullhead stopped, jaune was the first one the get down and have gone directly to a trashcan and started emptying for the hundredth time in this trip, "haha ok I am sorry, but you got to admit it was funny" never was a glare so close to kill somebody, but sadly for him, it didn't happen "…you're really a bastard, aren't you?" he said, his face slowly getting some color, he was getting better "and a jinx, I heard someone calling me vomit boy when I was running"

I give him a pitying glance, it only got him angrier "don't look at me like that, don't you dare" this only got me pity him more, he sighed "whatever, let's just move on" saying that, he started moving forward in the direction where we will most likely find ruby laying in a crater.

And sure enough, we did find a wild ruby laying on the road, looking at her jaune turned to me "look, I will try talking to her so I would at least have an acquaintance in this school, so please keep it down for a while, won't you" I give him the best innocent look I could pull off "when did I annoy you in all this trip, I haven't been anything but a great guy"

His look was all I needed to know he wasn't very impressed, he continued marching towards her, and we heard her saying "welcome to beacon" jaune stopped one feet from her and took out his hand to help her up, which she took after she opened her eyes "hey" he said "I am jaune"

Getting up she followed by "ruby" what followed after ruby let out a little laugh led jaune into taking a look of utter despair, one I would never forget

"Aren't you the guy that threw up on the ship?"

"All I am saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on" exclaimed jaune, sounding desperate.

Ruby, looking very amused apologized to him "look, sorry vomit boy was the first thing that came to mind" wanting to aggravate him more, I added "I really like it when I am right, it's funny to" not really liking my jab, he threw me an indignant look and turned to face ruby "Oh yeah? What if I called you crater face?" this time it was ruby's turn to look indignant "hey, that explosion was an accident!"

Jaune, trying to look confident said "Well the name is jaune arc! Short, sweet, rolls of the tongue, ladies love it!" all he got was a raised eyebrow "….Do they?"

This got jaune to try reaffirm himself "they will!" he said "Well I hope they will…"he added "I mean my mom always says that…"seeing that it wasn't helping his situation, he sighed "….never mind" hearing this I couldn't help myself "very smooch" he murmured a quite shut up towards me eliciting a "did you say something" from ruby

Panicking, he said "no, I didn't say anything" this got the conversation awkward, I couldn't help but wonder if all the teenagers in this world are this awkward with strangers, ruby, seeing the conversation going nowhere brought out her weapon "so … I got this"

And to tell you the truth, it was aww inspiring, seeing in the show doesn't even bring half the awesomeness of this 2 meters long scythe, I didn't find the words the describe it, jaune, being an habitant of this world, and more accustomed to weapons like this one, his only response was "whoa, is that a scythe?"

Ruby, feeling proud about her baby, said "it is also a customizable, high impact velocity sniper rifle" but her explication just got right through jaune tick head, "A wha-?" I couldn't help saying "dumbass" under my breath.

"It's also a gun" which prompted a look of realization to appear on his face "oh!" he exclaimed "that's cool"

"So, what've you got?" asked ruby, continuing the conversation, while swimming in excitation for getting to see someone else's weapon

The blonde, startled, said "OH uh, I got this sword" while unsheathing sword part of Crocea Mors of the morphed shield part? Eliciting an excited "Ooooooh" from ruby, "Yeah, I got a shield too!" still excited ruby asked "So, what do they do?"

"Well, the shield gets smaller… so when I get tired of carrying it … I can just put it away"

"But, wouldn't it weigh the same?"

He sighed "yeah, it does"

Seeing him feeling down, ruby tried to comfort him "well I am kind of a dork when it comes to weapons, I guess I did go a little overboard designing it"

"Wait, you made that?" he asked, sounding surprised

"Of course" she responded, like the most natural thing in the world "all signal students forge their own weapons, didn't you make yours?"

"No" he started "it's a hand-me-down, my great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war"

"… Sounds more like a family heirloom to me, well I like it, no many people has an appreciation for the classics these days"

"Yeah, the classics"

Only for the silence to return again, ruby, feeling curious, asked him " so why did you help me out back there, in the courtyard" jaune replied happily "Why not? My mom always says that strangers are just friends you haven't met yet."

Which got him a little laugh from her "so where are we going?" jaune as lost as her just responded "I don't know, I was following you."

I sighed.

After a lot of suffering, we finally were able to find our way, and so entering the hall were all bacon first year students were gathering in, this remind me, this being real I can see what they look like, not these dark shadows that are in the show, they are quite the colorful bunch.

"Runy, over there!" hearing her sister's voice, turned to look at her "I saved you a spot" not reaaly sure what she meant by that when they aren't any chairs in this hall

She turned to look at jaune "oh! Hey I gotta go, I see you after the ceremony" and then she was gone in a burst of speed

"Hey, wait!" he sighed "great, where I am supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?"

"You know" I begin "I may not be girl, but maybe we should talk a little bit about our situation" he turned to face for the first time in while "what are we gonna talk about? All I have to do is to cohabit with a ghost around me for the rest of my life" I sighed "no need to be sarcastic, and I am not talking about that, I want to talk about your dream of being a huntsman, how are you gonna pass initiation without any training" he looked at me surprised "you know?" and then he sighed "of course you know, you have been following me for days, you know what I don't want to talk about it right now, not in front of everyone while looking like I am talking to myself, wait till we are alone and then you can mock me" he said

I didn't want to stop the conversation at this, "you know" I said "I won't mock you for pursuing your dreams, what you have done may be illegal and stupid, but in the end you aren't hurting anyone but yourself, and for doing so stupid, you have my respect" he looked up at me in surprise and the he looked down and murmured a quiet "thank you"

What come next was ozpin's speech about wasted energy, and while I have seen it in the show, and read it numbers of time while reading fanfictions, seeing the reel thing was something else, it was the same words, read out in the same way, but the show didn't bring out the natural charisma of ozpin, and hearing it from his mouth directly has given me a whole new feeling.

But it seemed my new friend didn't share my feelings, because just after glynda finished her announcement, jaune headed directly towards Weiss, knowing it won't end well, I tried talking him out of it "jaune" I warned "if you going to do what I am thinking you are going to do, I don't think it's a great idea" jaune being the confidant fool he was, said "I am feeling it's my lucky day today, don't worry" he looked over her shoulder and said "I am a natural blonde you know?" I sighed.

"why are wearing this?" I normally don't antagonize people over what they are wearing, but wearing that onesie has to be a crime "what? It is very comfy, and I like it" I sighed, if it wasn't for the situation I wouldn't have let go, but we needed to talk "whatever, let's go to someplace isolated to talk about it" jaune looked at me "I see, you still want to talk, let's go to the garden then" we took off in the night until we find a bench, jaune sit on it I stayed floating in front of him

"so, he started, what do you want to talk about?" it was all I needed to start talk to him "I know your dream is to be a huntsman and that you didn't go through legal means to enter this academy, and you have little to no training" with every word I said jaune flinched, "don't be mistaken, I am not her to insult you or dissuade you from it, just tell me, have you unlocked your aura? Jaune titled his head "… aura?" I sighed "judging from your tone I can guess you don't know what I am talking about" which of course I know, but I should lie about to not reveal my lies, "aura is the manifestation of our soul" l said "to keep it short it works like a force field around your body taking hits in your place, unlocking your aura comes with a semblance, an ability that could be anything from superstrength to channeling lightning"

Hearing my explanation, jaune looked excited "so cool, how can I get this aura thingy and semblance?" "calm down, I am coming to it, aura is easy, all I need to do is unlock it for you, your semblance in other hands will come in time and instinctually for you, so I can't really help you"

Jaune looked dejected "aww, what a shame, but I am curious, how do you know all this?" I looked at him "… someone forced me" it seemed like he wanted to say more but in my face stopped him, "seeing that you don't have much experience fighting with your weapon I will help you, tomorrow in initiation if you are in a pinch, but I should see about unlocking your aura, close your eyes and concentrate" while the knowledge given to me by the system in aura is essentially purely combat knowledge, it deemed necessary to implement some general information about it, like how to unlock aura I touched his forehead and said the words pyrrha was supposed to say "for it is in passing that we achieve immortality

Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above

All infinite in distance and unbound by death I release your soul and

by my shoulder protect thee"

Finishing jaune started glowing with a white hue, a total contrast to my black one, I was waiting to feel tired but I didn't feel a significant change in my aura level, it seems that I got quite the big aura level, or at least bigger than pyrrha's "so, how are you feeling"

Jaune was looking at his hands glowing "not that different" "well, it's getting late so I can't teach anything, but from her onwards I will teach you aura manipulation, I may not be good at handling sword, but I am not ashamed to say I am a master at aura manipulation, you get to sleep, you need all the energy of the world to keep us alive"

Jaune waved me off "it's gonna be alright, especially that I have aura and you as a backup"

I hope so, for both of us.
