~~~In Ozpin's office~~~~~~~~
"Headmaster Ozpin? I've come to report team KARA's mission." Ash called out.
"Ash, how many times have I told you? You are not required to report your missions to me, if you wish to report them to Miss Goodwitch." Ozpin stated spinning around to face the group.
"I know , but I think your going to want to hear this report." After a long, very long talk over how Tomas and his friends got there and what they were going to do with Tomas and his friends it was decided they were staying in the dorm room across from Ash's team.
"This will allow team KARA to keep an eye on you, for now you will train till you are ready to join the rest of school in not only fighting the Grimm, but also taking part in class. Starting today you are all accepted to Beacon, but in two weeks you will take the team exam to find out who will lead the rest. Tomorrow team KARA will begin to teach you all as hunters, you are dismissed." And with that Ash lead Tomas and everyone to their dorm room.
"OK, there are new clothes in the dressers and a bathroom over there. It's already past curfew so sadly we won't be able to get your weapons right now, but I can unlock your auras. You will all need to be ready to train tomorrow by seven. And when you are getting dressed, please have a set of casual and battle clothes. You will not be fighting in your casual wear and your uniforms will be here in two days." Ash inquired. Tomas was the first one to take a shower since his aura had already been unlocked. When he was done he noticed that Ash had left.
"Where did Ash go?" he questioned.
"She had to study and head to bed, now if you don't mind I'm gonna shower next." Teresa declared.
"So, any ideas on how we're gonna get back or at least get everyone else here?Newt?" Tomas asked breaking the awkward silence.
"I've been reading a book about this world's history, nothing but wars and protests between humans and this other race called Faunus. They're pretty much humans with an animal likeness, as an example picture Minho with cat ears," Newt informed.
"Hey!"
"HAHAHA! I could never take him seriously if he had cat ears!" Tomas laughed.
"And it doesn't stop there he'd not only have the ears, but cat like features like a taste for fish. Plus he'd have night vision. I also read that some faunus have retractable claws. I'm surprised we didn't notice them we we got to the school, I talked to Ash about it and she said faunus used to be treated like slaves, but now they go to schools like this and live with society. I almost think we should just bring everyone here it's better than where we were before, not knowing anything stuck fighting for our lives."
"It is better than the Maze and I prefer those Grimm creatures to grievers." Tomas agreed.
"Yep, completely." Newt and Minho agreed in unison. As they spoke Tomas changed into some pj's, by the time everyone was had taken a shower and picked a bed it was already eleven. Finally Tomas drifted off to sleep, dreams filled with the memories of the day before.
~~~~~~~Time skip~~~~~Morning 7:05~~~~~~~~~~~
Beep!Beep!Beep!
Tomas slowly woke up looking at the clock, it read 7:05.
"We're late!" Tomas cried starling everyone as they woke, they each turned to look at the clock quickly freaking out and got dressed quickly. Teresa had put on black shorts with knee high combat boots, she wore a thin, white sweater with a green army jacket(everyone's emblem from the picture above is on their backs). Tomas wore a light blue long-sleeved shirt underneath a white vest with black jeans and boots. Minho wore a white shirt with light grey jacket (like Neptune's) with navy jeans and white combat boots. Newt wore a orange short-sleeved shirt with light brown hoodie-vest and had black jeans and boots like Tomas. Once done they quickly ran outside to meet team KARA.
"Finally, where have you guys been?" Kiwi yawned. "It's no fair if you guys get to sleep in."
"Sorry we didn't mean to, we haven't slept that well since... ever!" Tomas admitted as everyone caught up.
" Now that you've all arrived, we'll start with weapons. Kiwi will demonstrate first," at the sound of her name Kiwi brought out a staff that looked a little like metal bamboo. "Kiwi uses a staff, it also turns into dual pistols when taken apart. If at a high enough altitude it also turns into a glider, this helps her cause she can't stay in the air as long as me and Raven." As Ash spoke Kiwi began to attack a Grimm, this unlike the Ursa looked like a bird. As it flew Kiwi shot at the bird with great precision, the bird quickly dodged some of the bullets every time it was hit, it fell closer to the ground. After a while the bird shot razor sharp feathers at Kiwi. She deflected it by spinning her staff, as she did little circles were placed in the air. She quickly jumped on them a transformed her staff into a glider, gaining more height. Off to the left of the field was Weiss, Raven and Auburn. Raven and Aubrn spoke while Weiss looked like she was practicing spells. " The Glyphs Kiwi was using just a moment ago was created by Weiss, she volunteered to help in today's training. Each of you will fight with her with one of the standard weapons, this will help you figure out what weapon or weapons you are used to." Ash continued, as time went on everyone showed how they used their weapons and how they were specified to themselves. Finally it was Minho's turn to fight, he grabbed a spear a went to face Weiss. He moved forward trying to jab Weiss, but failed at every attempt. Weiss kept blocking his attacks, finally Minho moved on to a sword seeing that the spear did nothing. This time he had a fair chance at hitting Weiss, but failed since he was inexperienced.
"I thought this was going to be a fair fight?"
"No it wasn't supposed to be this fight was to figure out what weapon fits with your personality and your fighting tactics. So far you seem well used to the spear, but that isn't your weapon. Minho tell me what your the best at." Ash commanded.
"I was in charge of the runners back at the maze, so you can pretty much guess I'm pretty good at running. It helps a lot when you got a griever on your tail, right shuck-face?" Minho joked looking to Tomas, who had come out to help him and Alby get back to the Glade. It had utterly failed and they both got chased by a griever if they hadn't lead that griever into a closing wall they'd both be dead.
"Um, what did he mean by griever and maze?" Weiss asked confused.
"It was a training exercise they did back their school, grievers were what they called the robots that were designed to look like Grimm it also took place in a maze making the students have to stay alert." Raven explained.
"Well then you were correct to go with the sword, but you went with the wrong kind. Weiss's rapier is thinner which helps with increased speed she gains when using her glyphs, you had chosen a two-handed sword not meant for fast attacks. Ruby is even faster than Weiss and uses her scythe as a way to not only slow herself down, but also as a way to control her speed. For you I suggest a weapon much like Weiss's, a thin one-handed sword meant for speed that doubles as a spear. You could add some sort of gun or add some sort of way to add dust to it, but that depends if you can even use a gun. Teresa, your next." As Minho went with Auburn to get his weapon, Teresa stepped up to fight Weiss. Teresa choose two daggers and got in to fighting position. When the fight began Teresa did a bit better than Minho, since she had to get in close to attack it made it difficult for Weiss to attack without hurting her. Weiss did get the better of Teresa when she tried to knock Weiss's rapier out her hands, but ended getting pushed back thinking fast Teresa grabbed a chain from among the weapons and tied it to one of the daggers. Once done she threw the dagger at Weiss and pulled it back a little to create a swinging motion. It wrapped it's self around Weiss's rapier, all Teresa did was pull and her rapier came flying towards Teresa as she caught it.
"Nicely done, Teresa! I think you've practically found your weapon by yourself. I think it'd help if you got gauntlets that spike out the daggers and can be launched with either chain or ribbon so you can control the flying daggers."Ash announced pleased. "Newt get a weapon."
Newt chose a bat about his size and got ready. Weiss took the the first shot at Newt, he then quickly deflected it by bringing it up the bat. Realizing what he had done he quickly stepped back and swung the bat again taking Weiss by surprise and sent her flying to the other side of the battle ground.
"Well that was easier than expected." Newt humored.
"Truly, I suggest getting your own bat and adding a dust canon to it." Ash ordered. "Tomas since Weiss has been forced to take on three opponents and hit by a bat, I think it'd be best for her to go rest. You will take me on, now choose your weapon." Ash said pulling out her sword. Tomas looked at all the weapons, then his mind ran back to dust.
"Can I use dust as my weapon?" Tomas asked.
"I guess, but you'd have to choose a way of directing it. We have dust in it's raw form, but it takes great discipline to master dust in it's raw state. If you don't focus on how you are using the dust you can lose control of it, causing an explosion of whatever dust you'd chosen."
"Weiss can I borrow your rapier?" Tomas asked.
"Sure, but don't break it." Weiss warned, Tomas switched the rapier to the blue and tried to copy Weiss's spell movement with the sword. Surprisingly it worked and ice flew out of the sword flying straight towards Ash. Ash deflected it easily, running forward swinging at Tomas.
"Keep your stance wide, keep your body lowered. There you go, as your moving forward try to stay balanced." Ash instructed." Now, right foot, left foot. Come on put your whole body into it, don't take your eyes off me." They continued like this till Tomas got the hang of it .
"Nicely done, Tomas. I think you've got real talent with dust and swords play. Now catch up with the rest, next is aura."
~~~~~Back with the other gladers~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Where are Newt, Minho, Tomas, and Teresa?"
"We will just have to continue to our destination and wait till they come back."
