Chapter 2: Nova Vita
Nova Vita
6 months earlier
The airship going to Beacon was filled with eager Huntsmen-In-Training, all coming from their previous school, Signal Academy. A man in white armor with a red cross was sitting down in a seat with his eyes closed as if in a trance.
'Come on. You can do this, John. This is a new school. A new life. No one can harm you here.' the man, John, thought.
"The Robbery was lead by nefarious criminal, Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please conatact the Vale Police Department. Back to you, Lisa." the news guy said.
"So that idiot still hasn't been caught yet…" a guy next to John said.
"Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus civil rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted-" the feed was cut off and appeared a hologram of Glynda Goodwitch, a teacher at Beacon.
"Hello and welcome to Beacon, my name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. 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 out turn to provide you with the knowledge and protect our world." The hologram explained before disappearing.
John went out of his trance and stood up looking at the window and seeing the view of Vale.
"Beacon's our home now." a yellow haired girl said to another girl, with black hair with red streaks at the end of her hair, probably her sister.
'She's cute.' John thought staring at her.
"Huh?" the yellow haired girl said before looking around and looked at John.
John quickly looked away and back at the window and a blonde haired boy passed by looking as if he was about to vomit.
Beacon Landing Bay
Once everyone got off, Vomit-Boy included, they all proceeded to wander around and explore the new school. The yellow haired girl's sister was freaking out from all the weapons.
"Sis look! That kid's got a collapsible staff, oooh she's got a fire sword!" the younger girl squeed and almost floated away, but her sister grabbed her before she could.
"Heh. That's adorable." John said not realizing that he was right behind them.
The girls turned around and looked at him.
"Hi! What's your name?" the younger girl said.
"Oh. Ummm. I'm John. Nice to meet you." John said.
"I'm Ruby and this is my sister, Yang." Ruby said pointing at her.
"Sup. So you're the guy who was looking at my sister back on the ship?" Yang asked getting a naughty look in her eye.
"Ummmm… Yes…" John said blushing a bit.
"So how do you like my adorable fifteen year old sister?" Yang asked flirtatiously.
"Uhhhhhh… I-I-I-" John stuttered.
"Y-Yang, stop with your jokes!" Ruby shouted while blushing, "So what's your weapon John?"
John snapped out of his stuttering state and said, " Oh. I have these." he said pulling out his white dual pistols.
"Oh cool! What can they change into?"
"They can turn into dual blades or a sabre staff." He said demonstrating. The pistols shifted into short swords with a red cross on the guard and he connected both sides turning it into a staff.
"Cooooolll!" Ruby squeed.
"So what's yours?" John asked.
"I have Crescent Rose, a high-caliber sniper-scythe." She said unfolding it into its full height at least two times larger than her.
"How the hell do you carry that thing?!" John shouted surprised.
"I drink milk." She said swinging it around accidentally knocking into a baggage carrier knocking over suitcases.
"What are you doing?!" a white haired girl shouted.
"Oops. Sorry." Ruby apologized trying to help clean up her mess.
"Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could've caused?!" the girl shouted taking a suitcase and opening it, "This is Dust. Mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry."
"Uhhhh…"
"What are you brain-dead?!"
"Hey! You can't talk to my sister like that!" Yang shouted.
"Well it was her fault for swinging that thing around!" the girl shouted.
"Why do you act like that? It was a simple accident. She even said sorry. It's not like you can just boss anyone around. Who are you anyway." John asked.
"How do you not know me? I'm Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company." Weiss said.
"The same company infamous for its controversial work forces and questionable business partners." A new girl with black hair said.
"What?! How dare you?!" Weiss said before walking away.
"I promise I'll make this up to you!" Ruby shouted.
The black haired girl walked away before Ruby could talk to her, so she sped off in a random direction, hoping to find the auditorium.
"So I guess I should go now. See you later John. Oh and by the way." Yang said as she moved closer, "I'm okay with you if you like my sister, but if you hurt her... You will face my wrath... Okie?" she said with her eyes turning blood red.
"Y-yes." John stuttered.
"Good!" she smiled and walked away.
"What did I get myself into?" John muttered.
