RWBY EP. 17 part 3: An interesting encounter
(Last sentence of last installment AKA LSLI)
"Yes, what might your name be?"
(Ruby's POV)
"R-Ruby rose, is the name." I manage to say, but also managed to stutter. 'Damn know he must think I like him, or something. Because I am, blushing red like roses or at least I think I am. Well I do think he is a little cool, and I want to be his friend, here goes.' "Um, would you like to meet my team and my friend's team later?" I tried to invite, with a pout I know few people can withstand.
"Hmm, yeah I would like to meet your team. And your friend's team?" Volk agreed rather quickly, while properly thinking of the weird of speaking of my friends. While he grasped his duffel bag, I did not see before.
'Why would he agree so quickly?' I thought with a frown.
"Would you stop frowning, you are too young to be troubled." Volk scolded lightly, "We cannot ruin a pretty face, at a young age." While ended with a bright smile, that did reach his eyes just a little too brightly as if he were acting.
"Oh, sorry can I come and get you later." I politely ask trying to arrange, a place to meet.
"Okay, my room number is 213. Do you know where that is, because I do not?" Volk honestly states, while scratching the back his.
'So he have grey hair color, which is weird no one wants to have grey. Maybe those how are born with learnt to adapt?' I thought to myself for too long.
"Do you know where it is, or not?" Volk asked with mock annoyance, but a genuinely amused look.
"S-Sorry I was lost in thought, yes I know where that is it is... Right beside my team's room." I realized, and then broke out smiling. "So, why don't you not hang around in the hall, till class is over?" I implied. "Then I'll take you to your room, alright?"
"Okay, and is it not your team, and friends team that is charging at us?" Volk said, as he pointed behind me.
"Yes it is, Christ class already started." I realized than began sulking, because I arrived here first but still am late.
"Um, you do know I can save you little ass right?" Volk hinted with a smirk.
"What can you do to help me out?" I ask.
"Well we could lie about me starting tomorrow, and from there tell the truth?" Volk explained his genius, while I just dropped my jaw.
"Thanks, thanks, thank you so much. Let me just tell others about the plans, alright?" I thanked him, while giving him a big hug that I usual reserve for Yang. The second I released him, I dashed for me friends with a massive blush on my face.
"Guys! We are not going to be in trouble for being late; Volk came up with a plan to make sure we do not get detention!" I cheerfully cheer, to my sister and friends.
"And what is, that plan about?" Yang asks, while she tries to calm me down.
"Well just a little lie and the rest is just telling the truth." I lamely replies, with a nervous laugh.
"And how is that supposed to work?" Weiss scolded me, for properly being stupid.
"It is hopefully going to work Miss Snow, so please there is no need to scold her." Volk defended, with and extremely polite tone on pair with a first class butler. This surprised every one of us, because we knew, from what he said earlier. That he is capable of being very polite when he wants to, but this was a truly shocking. "The plan is actually to lie about me first starting tomorrow, then tell the truth but include you and every one present at the moment."
"What happened sis, since he keeps mentioning the truth." Yang whispered to me.
"Nothing major, but if you really want to know what happened, you have to wait for tonight okay?" I whispered back, while motioning for her to keep attention to what is they are saying.
"What makes you think your plan will work?" Weiss asked of Volk, with and equally polite tone.
'That is our princess.' I happily thought.
"Well only that most teachers are kind to the transfers, so that is my only reason for it." Volk countered Weiss, with logic.
"Alright, it is properly the first and last time I will let this happen so why not." Weiss agreed to Volk's logic, as we went in to class.
"Sorry! Professor…" he tried to say, but he did not know what his name were. He then lean discreetly down to me. "What is his name?"
"Port." I whispered back
"Port! I got a little lost on my way to your class, but these two kind teams helped me. So I am the reason they are late, I am so sorry for that professor port." Volk continued slick as an eel, which scared me a little that he is so capable in social skills.
"Ha, no matter but I though you first started tomorrow?" Prof. Port questioned.
"Yes, but I thought I should get familiar, with one of the best teachers of this school." Volk quickly praised, Prof. Port. "I am willing to take the detention, for my tardiness of making some of your students late."
'Seems like he is very slick, when needed.' I thought, while my own and team JNPR thought the same thing.
"There is no need, take your seats." Prof. Port let us of the hook, while he motioned for us to sit down. "Anyway, as you all know this is not my class normally. So we will just do the same thing, we did on the first day of school. However, today I got two instead of one, so Mister Koshmar would you come down here. And show us, how you would take down a Boarbatusk."
"Why of course professor, it would be an honor to show you my skills." Volk states with his slick tone, making him sound like a suck up. as I could hear whispers about it.
'Seems like I have to tell, him not to use that tone in class too much.'
"Are you ready? Let us began shall we?" Asks Prof. Port off Volk. "Alright on go, 3, 2, 1, GO!" Prof. Port yelled, as he pulled the cage open.
"Wait what about giving him a weapon first." Yelled Weiss as the Boarbatusk charged Volk, even though it is too late to give him a weapon now.
"None needed Princess, this is child play." Volk casually yells back, when he suddenly disappeared to god knows where. "I just have to get a grip on these tusks, and then simply left him of the ground and. Twist!" Volk explained as he did these things, and he pulled it off.
'Wait he simply lifted it and broke its neck? How?'
"As simple as that, shall I demonstrate and easier method Prof. Port?" Volk calmly asks the professor, as he let go off the Boarbatusk, so that it could slam back down to the floor. "Or is the other one for a student to play with." Volk asks innocently, but it is not innocent at all.
'He seems excessively experienced, to be a first year. Have to ask Ozpin about that sometime or Volk himself? NO! Stop those thoughts right now.' I debated with myself while tapping hard and quickly with my foot.
"Oh, it seems like Ruby wants to show the easy way Professor Port." Volk points out to the Professor.
'Damn it, but I should have known, with the way I tapped my foot it would seem like I was plain restless to do something. Ruby perfect timing, to be hyper.' Scolded myself.
It seemed like Professor Port froze, in shock from Volk's short display of strength and speed. Nevertheless, snapped out of it when Volk addressed him.
"Oh yes, Miss Rose would you do the honor of showing what you learnt that day, to Mister Koshmar." Professor Port agrees, and motions for me to come forth. "The procedure will be the same as before, get ready Miss Rose."
"Alright, I am ready." I announced to Professor Port, with my Crescent rose unfolded
"Alright, on go 3, 2, 1 GO!" Professor Port yells, as he let the Boarbatusk loose.
I acted quickly by launching myself, a little too the right of the Boarbatusk.
While spinning to the right of my center point, almost spinning the whole way. Only stopping when the Boarbatusk reentered my field of vision, I then quickly and stealthily sled the blade under its belly and fired of a shot to boost the upwards slash. Aloud bang sounded as I shot, I made for a back flip that I timed perfectly, only helped the slash in halving the Boarbatusk.
"Well done Miss Rose, excellent work with that scythe." Professor Port praised my short act. "This is how it is easiest way to do it Mister Koshmar, but yours is something I have never seen before where did you learn that?"
"Hmm, it is a little too personal, Professor Port." Volk explained, with a cold and emotionless tone and expression.
"W-well of course, we all have our own lives." Professor Port nervously says when he realized he hit a sore spot on his newest student. "You are all dismissed, as you may know there are no more classes to day, so you are free to do what you want." With that, said Professor Port left the combat hall.
"Ruby, would you show the way?" Volk said as he turned to me, as i froze a little by the tone of his voice.
"Y-yeah, follow me." I just replied while still all stiff, from the aura that is pulsing from him. AS he grasped his duffel bag, and took the over his shoulder.
The walk to our rooms has an awkward atmosphere, even though Volk did not seem effected because he is the reason for it.
"Here we are do you have your scroll on?" I asks Volk.
(Blakes POV)
"Right here little Rose." Volk replied with a little more cheery tone. Than you would expect from his aura, right now.
'Seems like he is feeling better at least, wait did he just call Ruby. Little rose?' I thought with furrowed brows in surprise, that Volk noticed which did not surprise me. As I made eye contact with him, his expression seemed as if he wanted to talk to me. 'What might he want to talk about, or do he even want to talk?' I raised one brow in curiosity, to see if he wanted to talk.
"There you go." Ruby announced to Volk with a slight blush, after what he called her.
'That is an adorable blush.' I thought with a smile. 'I hope he would do that more often, just so I can see that blush.'
"Why thank you my little rose." Volk thanked Ruby continuing with the nickname, because it got results.
'I like those results, and Yang seems to do as well. Since she has not ripped him apart yet.' I clarified to myself, and then I felt a piercing gaze. When I saw the one gazing at me discreetly, I found my answer to me earlier question. 'So he do want to talk? Just hoping it is not a confession, not that I would dislike it. Seriously me stop thinking like that, you just meet the guy like a few hours ago.' I scolded myself.
"I just need 30 minutes or so, then I will come over little Rose." Volk reassured Ruby using her new nickname, causing another blush to attack her face. That did it I began chuckling lightly, alongside my small chuckle I hear the group except Ruby beginning to laugh, even Volk who seems to have cheered up a little more.
"Hey! It is not that funny." Ruby yelled at us for laughing, but it did not help her situation a tiny bit. Because the second she began pouting with an angry pout, we just started laughing harder.
"Sorry little Rose, your just to adorable when you pout." Volk managed to say through his laughter, he then gave her a genuine smile.
'Even though I just meet him, he seemed a little like me, never truly smiling but then again I started to smile real again after I meet Ruby so why can't he?' I reasoned with myself.
"Anyway I got to unpack, see you guys in an hour or less." Volk stated as he tried to turn for his room, but Nora stopped him.
"Where is the rest of your stuff?" Such and innocent yet destructive question, few can understand I myself included.
"I think they should already be here in the room, anyways see you guys later." Volk lied, why I know that, that is because of the way he said it. It sounded fake to my ears, cat ears I mean.
'He properly does not have more stuff as myself, equally the duffel bag he has on his shoulder is all his stuff he has.' I thought to myself as I made eye contact with him again, I winked at him to show I understood what he tried to say, with all of those minor hints that were hard to notice. Even for me, I watched close the door I felt someone behind me.
"So do you have a thing, for the new guy?" Yang whispered in my ear, while exhaling her hot breath in my ear. Trying to get some results like a blush or some jittering Etc. However, none gained.
"No, that is where your sister comes in; he just wants to talk to me." I whispered back. "I will see if I can tell you guys, what he want to talk about. All right? Oh and see if you can cover for me, will you do that for me?"
"All right, but at least get a good look at him. I want to know if he is hot." Yang whispered back with a purr at the end.
"Deal, Guys I am going to go down to the library, while we wait for Volk okay?" I whispered the first part to yang, than I announced. "My so called plans for waiting for Volk." I heard and saw a low cluster of Okays and nods, as I turned to walk down the hall. However, I did not get far down the hall before Yang kept her part off the deal.
"Alright guys, come into our room and wait for when his done." Yang's cheery but firm tone and gaze, kept anyone from declining. Well she did let team JNPR go to their room, to change to some more comfortable attire. The second I heard both doors close I turned around, and made for Volk's door and just let myself in.
(Yang's POV in their dorm room)
"So, quick girl talk before team JNPR gets back." I exclaim, as I locked the door because we started to change our attire's to something little more comfy. We just take off our clothe that is our combat gear than dress in a cleaner set of gear. "So Rubes, what happened?" I ask with mock innocence, while having a smirk on my face.
"Oh yeah, well I pretty much just crashed into him knocking him to the ground and helped him up of course. Well he just give me a compliment, then I "recognized him" he just replied with a yes then he asked for my name, with and knowing smile. Then I manage to stutter my own name, and invite him to meet you guys. However, that pretty much sums it up." Ruby summed up.
"Jeez that reminds me a little about the first time we meet Ruby, just he was way nicer." Weiss added, to the mix. With Weiss's little addition, made it hilarious, which caused all of us present to laugh.
