"Oh man I don't feel well." I said to myself.

I got up from my bed and took a look around me. Damn I might have drank too much last night. I walk towards the mirror and take a look at myself. My hair is messed up all over the place and my eyes are literally near bloodshot. Guess having one last celebratory party was a bit too much for Jack to handle. I should probably wake him up. Jack Arnet isn't the man for sleeping too much, but I appreciate him throwing this party for me. Any way I go towards the living room and I see beer bottles galore. This must have been a hell of a party, but Jack's sleeping right on the couch.

"Hey Jack." I say to him

He just grumbles a bit and turns toward his side. I'm not going to wake him up. I'd just got a job I don't want to die yet. So I just pulled a blanket over his body and headed towards the bathroom to take a shower. I take off my clothes and let the water run. I step under the shower and start wondering about all the students I'm going to teach. I finish off in the shower after cleaning myself. I wipe the fog off the mirror in the bathroom. Now I look better than I did 20 minutes ago. My short black hair doesn't look all that awful and I can see the blue in my eyes instead of that horrid bloodshot color.

I head towards the living room with a towel wrapped around my waist and someone was knocking on my door.

"I'll be right there" I yelled out. "Just give me two minutes."

I dashed towards my room and got myself dressed. A well designed shirt with a logo of a lion on it. My jeans look brand new. Luckily these are my lucky jeans, meaning shit doesn't happen to me today. I head towards the door and I notice Jack starting to wake up. I just smile and look through the mirror. Well this is a surprise. It's Ozpin…. Oh crap. I unlock the door and open it up.


"Ozpin hey! What brings you to my house?" I ask

"Well technically this isn't your house. It belongs to Jack Arnet." Ozpin says

Ozpin steps through into the house and notices the mess in the living room. This stench is overwhelming also. I'm pretty sure my shower smell is being over taken by the amount of alcohol in the room along. Jack Arnet gets up and asks "Who's that?" in a deep voice.

"This is my new employer: Headmaster Ozpin." I say

"Employer eh… Well I don't care much for greetings, but if you are taking Uldran off my back then you are welcome here." Jack says

I knew that Jack hated me, but shoving me out already. Damn I must have been an ass in some point when I moved here. It's only been a year since I been here and already he wants me out. I figured it was about time I headed out. So I looked with Ozpin with a smile.

"Let me grab my stuff. It isn't much so I can walk with you on the way to Beacon." I told him

I went towards my room and grabbed the bag that has my name on it. Pretty big bag, but I've learned to lift it from when I was a child. This has everything I own in it. Inside it has my two hand cannons, two spare sets of clothes, a small knife for carving meat and cutting rope, some first aid essentials, and some other stuff which I believe that would help me out. I grab it throw it behind my back. I grab the handle of it with my left hand and grab my hat with my right. My hat is a little too big, but this was my dad's hat after all. Only thing I remember about him is this hat.

I head outside and head towards the door. To my surprise the living room was instantly cleaned from the moment I entered my room to grab my back. I look to Jack who somehow looks like he just ran a marathon. I pat him on the back.

"Well Jack. Thanks for letting me stay. I'll pay you soon." I tell him

"I know you Uldran. Just get out of my house." Jack tells me.


So I head towards Ozpin and give him a thumb up. Ozpin and I head exit Jack's house and head outside the building. As soon as I go outside I see the remnants of the Vytal festival. The welcome to Vale sign is being taken down and there are people cleaning the streets of trash and left over foods. I may or may not have left some of that food, but at this point everyone was happy. We start walking towards the port to grab a ride towards Beacon. While on the way I notice that some of the students are helping along with cleaning.

"So Ozpin I have to ask. Why came to where I was staying at?" I ask

"Well after going to the interview I'd rather not see you stumble around like a mess. So I decided to take a stroll around and luckily for me your building was in the way." Ozpin noted.

"Well that was risky of you. That neighborhood you took a stroll through is notorious for having some of the worst people held in there." I point out.

Then all of the sudden I start hearing the sounds of gunfire in the air. I look up and I see a young girl wielding a scythe flying in the air straight towards us. For dramatic entrances I thought that girl topped my interview by a long shot. We both take a step to the side and the young woman shoots at the concrete to slow her rate of falling. Luckily she manages to slow it enough so that she tumbles on the road and ends up face down. I look at her long red hood see the scythe in her hand. It converted automatically into a box of sorts.

"Well that was dramatic… Are you okay?" I ask the girl in the red hood.

I walk towards her and she sits up on the road. She looks out of it. I don't blame her for not getting dizzy, but I'm wondering how she got here in the first place. I snap my fingers a few times to see if she would stop getting dizzy. She shakes her head a bit and looks at me very funny. I go and help her up. Turns out she didn't need my help and just sprung up in front of me.

"So are you okay?" I ask her.

"Yep. Just exercising." She says to me.

"I didn't know that exercising included flying around at superfast speeds." I say

"Well I don't ridicule you for not exercising like me don't I?" She asks me.

"Point taken." I tell her "So you have a name? Mine's Uldran."

"Ruby." She tells me.


Well I'd never imagine that someone like her would fall from the sky and say it's exercising. I guess she beats me in dramatic entrances, but I'm still curious on why she was exercising.

"So where are you heading off to Uldran?" Ruby asks.

"I'm heading off with Ozpin towards Beacon." I tell her. I then pointed towards Ozpin who is next to me. He waves to Ruby.

"Mind if I tag along?" She asks Ozpin

"Sure it's a lovely time to take a stroll anyway to Beacon." Ozpin says.

So our plan was made and we all headed towards the plane that flew to Beacon. On the plane I got to know Ozpin a little better. For example he like's tea more than coffee. I'd picture him to be a coffee type of person, but guess I was wrong though. Any way during the flight I checked the inside of my bag to see if my stuff was all there. Everything checks out alright.

"What are you looking at?" Ruby asks.

"My stuff. These are the things that I only actually own." I tell her.

I then pull out my two guns and show them off to Ruby. Man I'd never imagine her to be a gun nut. I thought I could never see a brighter face than hers after showing her my guns.

"Those aren't guns. Those are huge cannons." Ruby yells out.

"I know. I found them one day during a scavenging mission when I was a child. I needed something to kill Grimm real fast and luckily for me I managed to grab these guns. Needless to say they are awesome. "I tell Ruby

"Do they have names?" Ruby asks

"Not really. I haven't thought of a name for them, but at the moment I was more concerned about finding food than naming my guns." I tell Ruby. "Does your scythe have a name?"

Ruby pulls out her scythe in front of us all. Now that I see it up close, I should probably have noticed that this is easily twice her length. So glad that I'm not in the business end of that scythe.

"Mine's Crescent Rose! Been with me ever since my Uncle trained me to use it." Ruby says.

Ozpin meanwhile is just looking off in the distance towards Beacon. It actually looks lovely whenever the sun is setting on it. Just that glimmer of orange makes the school just light up. He seems curious about something, but I should probably make sure Ozpin isn't daydreaming.

"The sunset is beautiful you know." I say to Ozpin "Every sunset I'd try spending it with friends just staring at it. We'd talk about how big we would be once we grown up. Damn shame they couldn't make it with me though."

"What happened to them?" Ruby asks.

"I'd rather not talk about it. It's sort of personal." I tell Ruby.


As the ship lands at Beacon, we all head off the ship. Ruby had to go back to her dorm so we said our goodbyes and she went on her way. Ozpin then motioned me to my quarters where I would be staying. Seeing Beacon this close really makes me proud that I finally got out of there. I'm never going back to live in poverty or under a friend's roof. I finally get to my quarters and it looks pretty impressive in the inside.

"These will be the quarters you will be staying in. On the main desk there is a book of guidelines I expect you to follow during your job here. Any irregularities will result in a deduction of pay and perhaps a council to determine if you stay in or not. Any questions?"

I look towards Ozpin.

"I got a question. Can I use capital punishment? Like slapping their face?" I curiously ask

"It's unethical, but you are allowed to use any punishment. Anything else?" Ozpin asks

"That should be good for the time being. Guess I should go to work. Also my teaching is more hands-on instead of lecture. Is that fine?" I ask

"As long as it benefits the community in some way and it doesn't risk the lives of your students you are allowed to use any teaching method necessary." Ozpin says

Ozpin heads out of the room and I close the door. I go towards the master bedroom and it is beautiful. A full holographic TV, a queen sized bed that looks amazing, A computer that is on top of a desk & it's practically amazing to look at. I take out my stuff and put them away accordingly. I put my clothes in the drawers next to my bed and I go towards the desk. On top of it lies a manual labeled Quality Teaching Guidelines: Becoming an example for students to follow. This book is easily 25 pages, but I have to read it.

Then I hear a knock on the door. I go look through the door. Glynda is here with a basket and a suit. I'm not sure why she has the suit, but I'm not complaining. I open up the door and she shoves the suit into my hands.

"As long as you are working here at least dress accordingly. Please don't dress in what you are wearing right now." Glynda asks.

"Wow… thanks for the suit. I really appreciate it. I mean after all I just trashed my last suit." I tell her. "So how are you handling having me around? I understand if you are angry."

"I'm just disappointed at Ozpin right now. You won't even last two weeks before doing something stupid." Glynda says

"Probably, but sometimes being stupid helps other students learn what not to do." I say.

She chuckles a bit and heads out. I take out the suit from the cover. I have to admit that this suit fits me pretty well. That's pretty shocking actually. I never told anyone my size, but she was able to judge me based on my appearance. I got to give her props for doing that. I put my suit away in anticipation that tomorrow is the teacher introductions. I have to introduce myself to the other teachers at Beacon. This will be fun.

"Today's been a hell of a day. I should head to bed." I say to myself.

I head towards the master bedroom and set the alarm for 6 AM. I lie down on the bed and stare at the ceiling. Man today was really special: Ruby literally flying through the air, Glydna giving me a suit and Ozpin coming to Jack's house. I should get some sleep before something even crazier happens. Hopefully the other teachers will like me. I turn out the lights and close my eyes.
