Chapter 3: Initiation Part 1

It was morning and Markus was already annoyed, but he also felt bad for one person. This person name is Ren, he sitting down eating breakfast being talked to by a girl with orange hair. As Markus was sitting by himself near them trying to eat, he was dumbfounded by how much this girl can talk.

"Does she even breathe?" Markus thought.

After breakfast, the girl was still talking in the locker room. Markus was really considering piercing his ears so he wouldn't hear her anymore. He open is locker and grabs his weapon and straps it around his waist, he also took out a Lupara shotgun and looks at it. Before coming to Beacon he was wondering what weapons he should bring, of course he was going to bring his giant sword but a side arm wouldn't hurt. So he decided to bring his shotgun, the shotgun was black and had silver linings from the barrel to the handle. It also had words engraved on the barrel colored silver, it read Beast Breaker. He put on a holster on his right thigh and put Beast Breaker away, grabbing his ammunition and putting them in a pouch that hang on the right side f is waist Markus closes locker and walks towards the exit. As he was walking he heard the orange hair girl saying something about imitating a sloth, Markus shakes his head and snickers at that comment.

The sun was shining and a cool breeze blew past the group of young hunters and huntresses as they wait for their headmaster to show up, Markus look left and right to see people high-fiving, brofisting, laughing, having a good time before initiation starts. He wonders if anyone of them were scared that they were standing on top of launch pads, obviously that was not the case since they were all very enthusiastic about this initiation. Expect for one girl that was right beside him, the girl with the black hair and bow. She was reading a book blocking the world from her; Markus took a good look at her before speaking.

"You should stop making ears twitch." Markus said.

Her eyes widen as she quickly grab one side of her bow, she turn to look at Markus

"Don't worry, your secret is safe." He said while winking.

She nods her head knowing the he knew that she was hiding the fact she was a Faunus, she let go her ear hided within her bow and looks at the ground.

"Although you shouldn't hide it, you should be proud of who you are." Markus said

"If you were like one of us, you would do the same." She said look up at him.

"Nope."

"You wouldn't be at least scared of what people think of you?"

"Nope, I'll expose myself to people so they know who they're dealing with."

"Not even a little?"

"Nope."

"How so?"

"I was trained to learn that fear is a waste of energy."

"oh.." she turn her head looking at the forest.

"The name's Ebony." Markus said raising his hand

"Ebony?" she said looking back him.

"It was a name I was given at signal."

"Oh well my name is Blake Belladonna, nice to meet you." She said shaking his hand.

"Same here." Markus said.

Just then Ozpin appeared in front of the soon to be first years; Markus raises both his and close together and a black light formed. The black light starts to disappear as to reveal a helmet. It was black with horns going horizontal, it had teeth engraved it making a few people look. Markus moves his right hand and remove his eye patch, revealing that his pupil was red. Blake gave a curious look and it did not go unnoticed to Markus

"What?" Markus said looking back at her.

"N-nothing, I just thought that you could only see with one eye." Blake replied.

"Oh no it's just my right eye is sensitive to light and if I don't cover it, it'll hurt after a few moments that's why I got this helmet."

"I get the eye patch, but why the helmet?"

"I use it most of the time during combat."

"You think you'll need it for this?"

"Hey you never know what we could come across here, Could be an ursa or a nevermore."

"Hmm I guess you're right."

"You guess?"

"You could be wrong."

"Yeah and if I am, I'll give you 50 lien." Markus said while he rolled his eyes and puts on his helmet.

Blake smirks at him before turning her attention to Ozpin, Ozpin and Goodwitch started talking about making contact with the first person they'll see will become partners when entering the forest, and how they need to retrieve a relic up north. Markus didn't like idea about being partners but since he was here, there was no turning back. One after one people being launch into the sky, as it was Markus turn he quickly looks at Blake.

"Good Luck out there." He said.

With that Markus was launched into the air, soaring in the sky he looks for way into the forest. He quickly got a glance at an open space and made his way there, he lands on a patch of grass kneeling. Getting up he looks at his surroundings. Looking around trying to find north, all of his attention was at the blonde boy that was soaring in the sky screaming his lung out.

"Oh boy he's not going make it here but I'll be surprise if he lives to see tomorrow, now where is north?" Markus said out loud.
