Chapter 2: Canary Slate
Canary P.O.V
I was introduced to a large room where owners had placed me for training. I looked around to see a simple white room. My pale yellow shirt and battle skirt was bleaker in the pure white room.
The only decoration in the room was a large black screen that showed a sword surrounded by a bow and a gun. It was a symbol of Camelot Industries.
"Mrs. Slate," Said a female voice on the intercom, "You are here to test a new weapon we have been developing, and in return, we will give you transcripts to enter Beacon Academy."
Canary nodded, this was the deal she made. She was warned, however, that these tests may be deadly. Canary did not care, about the potential of death, or their reasoning.
Suddenly, part of the floor opened up and a pale yellow bow appeared out of the ground. Canary grabbed the bow and took note. The sides were sharp as to add to melee damage. She noted that there was no arrows so she pulled back the bow back and an hard-light arrow appeared. She released it, allowing it to smoothly fly and hit the wall. After a few seconds it disappeared. She found a compartment next to the base that is used to store dust crystals in.
"Beginning test." Said the voice on the intercom.
Some weak grimm were sent into the arena, Canary sniped them all with the bow before any could reach her.
"You seem to be talented with the weapon, advancing to final test." The voice announced.
A giant suit of armor appeared from the ceiling, its landing caused a giant shock wave that nearly knocked Canary down. Canary used her heightened sense semblance to see that her new opponent was a robot. The attacker sped toward her and swung it's sword at her.
Canary dodged it and spun her bow so that the sharp end bombarded the robot. It seemed to have little effect on the attacker, though they did leave a mark on it. Canary saw this as an opportunity to launch a brigade of arrows at the mark. Not all made their mark, but the ones that did make the hole in it bigger and bigger. She placed a lightning dust in the slot. She shot the arrow into the hole, allowing electricity to rush through the robot short circuiting it.
Canary was catching her breath and recovered her footing as the voice above said, "Good work Mrs. Slate,"
The door opened up and a few people got in and cleaned up inside the room. She was escorted out and handed a few papers, papers that say that she graduated a school she never attended. She now had a weapon and was ready to become a huntress.
She did not feel happiness over winning, she did not feel guilt over having to lie to get into Beacon. She had not felt anything in over 8 years.
Author's Note: The first four chapters are just going to introduce the characters. Like the original character trailiers.
