Chapter 2

The ride into Vale was a short one but it felt like forever to Blaze, she was eager to be at Beacon and any minute waiting felt like an eternity to her. Her parents stood next to her, both slightly worried but proud none the less

"Blaze?"

She looked at her mother, who's lilac eyes shown with tears "yeah, ma?" she hugged Blaze in her infamous bear hugs "I am so proud of you, of you and your brother, it seems only yesterday I held you in my arms moments after your mom gave birth to you" Blaze smiled warmly and hugged her mother back "ma, you gave me this speech last night, it's not as if you won't hear from me, I'll call you and mom, don't worry" her mother gave her a kiss on her forehead before pulling away and letting her wife say her piece "my little Blaze, my how you've grown" she gently rubbed her ears causing her to purr slightly "you'll be amazing at Beacon, like your brother, I know you will, I love you" Blaze hugged her mom and nuzzled under her chin, like when she was a little kitten "I love you too, mom" she pulled away and both stood looking at Blaze "I've called your brother, he should be meeting you at the front entrance" she nodded "ok, what are you two gonna do?" her mom smiled "your aunt's have invited us for lunch, so, we'll be meeting them then heading back to Patch" Blaze nodded and watched as the airship touched the ground. The three departed off the airship, Blaze hugged her mother's one last time before starting to make her way to Beacon, waving her parents goodbye and slipping on headphones, courtesy of her Aunt Ruby. She hummed along the tune before arriving at the front entrance at Beacon where she saw a figure leaning against a pillar on their Scroll. She smiled and slipped the headphones down to around her neck

"Blaze"

"Shadow"

The two smiled and hugged one another, "good to see my baby sister is finally at Beacon" she nodded "yeah, so where do we go?" he held his hand up "ah, all in good time, I wanna introduce you to my team, I promised that I would" she rolled her eyes "you've went soft, Shadow" he glared at her "watch it, I won't hesitate to attack" she growled playfully "bring it!"

"Shadow!"

He stopped and turned around, he visibly relaxed before stepping aside "Blaze, this is Jae Byzz, Percy Razz and Robin Ceila, my teammates" the three girls walked towards Blaze and her brother, stopping a few feet in front of her "so, this is the infamous little sister you keep telling us about" a fox Faunus stepped forward hand outstretched "I'm Jae, the leader of team Jasper and your brothers partner" Blaze gripped her hand and shook it "my, my, she has a strong grip" Blaze chuckled "I get it from my mother" Jae nodded and smiled warmly at Blaze before stepping back into the line of the three girls, a girl with blue hair stepped forward "the name is Percy Razz" Blaze nodded at her before she stepped back into line leaving the final girl to step forward, she was more timid than the others and walked to Blaze with her head down, Blaze would normally never mind but she found it adorable "I'm-I'm Robin Ceila…nice to meet you" Blaze blushed and bowed slightly at the waist "nice to meet you Robin" Shadow looked at her funnily before grinning knowingly, the other two girls soon catching on. They stood away before Shadow wrapped an arm around Blaze's shoulders "c'mon sis, let's get you to the assembly hall" they waved the rest of team Jasper goodbye before walking across Beacon's courtyard

"So, have a crush on one of my teammates already?"

"Huh?"

Blaze looked up at her brother, a puzzled expression written on her face "I don't know what you mean?" Shadow laughed "oh, I think you do, you like Robin" Blaze looked away "I barely know her for dust sake, Shadow!" she slapped his arm and stormed off ahead of him "hmm, yeah, I am so telling mom and ma about this" he jogged to catch up to his team, leaving his sister to enter the hall.

Blaze walked into the hall and stood near the back leaning against the wall, a man in his late 20's early 30's walked to the stage in front of a microphone

"good morning students, I shall keep this brief, today you all stand in this hall as students eager of knowledge, here we can give you this knowledge but at a price, you have all proven yourself in the entrance exams that you can fight however, it is up to you to take a hold of this knowledge with the same eagerness and passion. Today, you are students. Tomorrow, you will be on your way to becoming fully fledged huntsman and huntresses"

He walked away and a woman with golden hair stepped forward

"You will sleep in the ball room tonight, tomorrow your initiation begins, be prepared, you are dismissed"
