Chapter 3: I Didn't Sign up for This
(Christian's POV)
"It's as simple as that gentleman." Ozpin said as he led me and Rodrick to the bullhead.
I scratched my head in confusion; it just didn't make any sense. "So if I'm getting it right, you want us to go into the dangerous woods and capture a, what did you call it?"
Ozpin took a sip from his mug, "Boarbatusk, one of our professors asked for one to use in his class."
Rodrick shook his head, "Why would you want a wild animal on campus? That's just asking for trouble."
Glynda tapped a few buttons on her scroll, "That's why you're going to retrieve one for us. If you're a skillful as you say then this should be a simple task. I shall accompany you and once we collect the Boarbatusk we are bringing it back here. It should be completely safe once it is in its cage."
I stopped right in front of the bull head, "Before we go anywhere I want to at least tell my sister we'll be back"
"Of course take as much time as you need." Ozpin said as he gestured me to follow him to our new home.
Just as we were leaving I heard Rodrick say something, "So are the girls as pretty as you or are you special?"
Glynda sighed, "Keep talking like this and I'm going to have to throw you off a cliff."
Rodrick immediately turned around and pretended to do something else; I almost laughed and almost felt sorry for the predicament he's in, Almost.
I followed Ozpin to our new home on campus; it was a small, two-floor, 4 bedroom house that was used for guests. We had already moved our stuff into the room. I made my way up stairs to Kyara's room that had large bubbly stickers on it. I put my hand up to Ozpin, "Can you give me a moment?"
Ozpin stopped and pulled his scroll out, "Of course take your time."
I knocked on the door and heard Kyara's voice, "Come in."
I opened the door to see Kyara had already adjusted to the room; her meager possessions were laid out all over the room. She was sitting on her bed drawing something when she looked up and smiled at me, "Hey big bro, what's up?"
I sat down on the bed and put my arm around her shoulder, "Listen I need to go for a little bit. I'll be back as soon as I can but until then I want you to shower and get ready for dinner."
Kyara smiled, "You know if you had told me that a few years ago I might have thrown a fit but I'm just glad to have running water and food. It's odd, I really missed the simple stuff but here we are. Back again like nothing happened."
I smiled back at her, "Yeah it does feel nice to go back to normal. I'll be back, make sure you shower okay? I love you." I kissed her head and made my way to the door.
"Hey Chris," She said before I opened the door.
I turned around, "What's up?"
Kyara gave a sly smile, "Can we have ice cream for dinner?"
I thought about it for a moment and shrugged my shoulder, "Alright we can get ice cream, but only tonight. After this you're going to get back to a normal diet."
Kyara pouted at me, "Fine."
I chuckled and closed the door behind me as Ozpin and I headed back to the bullhead. When we made it back however we found Glynda using her riding crop to hold Rodrick upside down with some purple energy. Ozpin sighed, "What is going on here Glynda?"
Glynda turned around her face bright red, "Ozpin, I'm so sorry you had to see this."
I glared at Rodrick who was hanging upside down, "What did you say?"
Rodrick pleaded with me, "I just asked if she had a younger sister she could introduce me too and she freaked out. You gotta help me here buddy."
I turned towards Glynda, "How long can you hold him there for?"
Glynda shrugged her shoulder, "A few days if you want."
I turned backs to Rodrick with a smile on my face, "Sorry buddy, I'm tired."
Rodrick scowled at me, "You are literally the worst friend I have ever had."
Ozpin chuckled, "As funny as it is to see him hanging up there you three have a mission to complete, could you please let him down?"
Glynda waved her Riding Crop, "Of course."
The purple energy dissipated and Rodrick fell on the floor face first, he groaned. "Ow."
I laughed and walked towards Rodrick and offered my hand, "Come on up lover boy, we have a job to do."
He didn't move from the ground, "I hate you so much." He pulled himself up and grumbled into the aircraft.
I sighed and followed him on; Glynda was right behind us and as soon as Ozpin was clear, the bullhead sprang to life. I leaned back in my chair and took a nap before we got back to the hell hole called the Emerald Forest.
(Location: ?)
We landed in the forest, but for some reason everything felt...different. The trees seemed to be still like a statue, no noises other than the engine powering down. The air was different, I didn't like it one bit. I took out my pistol and as the doors opened I was the first one to get off, but when I did the scenery changed in the blink of an eye, the forest I was in looked desolate. The trees were dead, decaying leaves fell from them and the grass was also decaying as the clouds covered the entire area.
I really wanted to leave this damned forest, as I turned around I saw that the airship wasn't there anymore, 'the hell, where's the ship?'
'YoU CanNoT eScApe, I WilL FiNd YoU.'
I swung my pistol in every direction looking for the source of the voice "Who the hell are you?"
'YoU BelONg To ME; TheRe Is NO EsCApiNg My PrEtTieS."
The ground cracked as it opened letting out something that I hoped to not see again, the Undead crawled out of the crack. As they stood up they let out a deathly scream and charged at me, I aimed my pistol to kill the abominations and I pulled the trigger only for it to click. I panicked; the gun was out of ammo, the zombies continued charging as I looked at them, one of the zombies shrieked as it jumped towards me.
I opened my eyes quickly checking my surroundings clearly still in the transport with the other two; luckily they didn't notice me having a small panic attack as we all could feel the aircraft land.
I stretched my limbs out and looked toward Rodrick, we both discussed our dreams for a while till we just dropped the subject considering it was about the same thing, though the aircraft wasn't supposed to be there. It was better not to ask questions, Rod stepped out of the aircraft to give me a minute to rest.
I looked out the window to see the forest stretch in front of me; it was odd just a few days ago I had almost forgotten what a tree looked like. Still this was no time to feel bad; I had a job to do! I adjusted my clothes and headed out of the aircraft, I looked around the area when I heard Rodrick, "This is so cool!"
I turned my head around to see Rodrick looking deeper into the forest; I walked towards him, "What is it?"
He pointed to the forest and my jaw dropped when I saw what he was so amazed by, two giant birds were engaged in a battle. They were tearing each other piece by piece, definitely never saw any of the undead do that.
Glynda walked up behind me, "Looks like two alpha Nevermores are fighting over territory, to be honest I would be a lot happier to see them kill each other but that hardly happens. Now come along we did a thermal scan before we landed and we located a nest for the Boarbatusk."
Glynda motioned for us to follow her toward the nest; I grinned and followed right behind her with Rodrick right on my heel.
We had traveled for a few minutes before Rodrick spoke up, "So how exactly are we going to get a monster in a cage?"
Glynda stopped and pulled out a small gun and pointed it at Rodrick.
Rodrick immediately pissed himself, "Hey, sorry for asking I was just curious no need to shoot me."
Glynda flipped the gun around and handed it to me, "This is a stun gun, it is usually used on prisoners but we modified it to produce more volts. Enough to kill a human but just enough to stun the Boarbatusk long enough for us to get it back to the Bullhead and in a cage."
I looked down the barrel of the gun, "You wouldn't mind if I keep this after were done with would you?"
Glynda smiled at me, "Only if you promise to use it on Rodrick if he gets to wild."
"Oh come on! Now you're just picking on me for fun." Rodrick yelled at me as I chuckled.
I strapped the gun on my waist and we traveled for another few minutes, before coming upon the nest. There must have been at least twenty of these things! I shuddered at the thought of them tearing me up. I swallowed my fear and turned towards Glynda, "So what's the plan?"
Glynda pulled out her riding crop, "I shall create a distraction luring one of the Boarbatusk just outside the nest. Then you two move in and secure the package."
"You make it sound so easy." Rodrick said with fear in his voice.
I patted him on the back, "Don't worry, it's just like back home. Just a lot faster, you distract it while I stun it."
"I'm always the bait." Rodrick mumbled under his breath.
We both moved just outside the nest and waited behind the trees. Suddenly a large explosion went off startling both Rodrick and I. Before we could recuperate a Boarbatusk came charging out of the forest.
Rodrick cursed under his breathed and moved. "HEY UGLY! OVER HERE!" Rodrick yelled waving his arms at the Boarbatusk.
The Boarbatusk eyes focused in on Rodrick and it kicked up some dirt. Its muscles leaned back and then charged forward. Rodrick quickly sidestepped the charging monster but the Boarbatusk simply turned and the boar tucked itself into a wheel and rolled at Rodrick.
Rodrick jumped backwards trying to escape but backed up into a tree, "If you're going to do something then do it now!"
I aimed downed my sights and held my breath. I pulled the trigger and felt the hundreds of volts leave the gun and connect with the Boarbatusk.
The Boarbatusk collapsed in front of Rodrick kicking its leg in the air as if stuck in some dream. Rodrick let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks man, I thought you were going to let it get me for a second."
"I was thinking about it but against my better judgment I helped you." I said with a grin on my face.
Rodrick sighed, "You know you keep treating me like this and one day, poof, I'll be gone."
I walked over to the Boarbatusk and grabbed it, "Yeah, yeah don't be but hurt about it, just help me out with this."
Rodrick grumbled over to the Boarbatusk and picked up the other end.
"Alright on three, ready? One… two… three!" I said lifting the Boarbatusk up.
I saw Rodrick struggle on his end, "This thing weighs a lot more than I thought it would."
"Stop complaining and more lifting." Rodrick pouted in response but still helped lift the boar. "Alright now let's head back to the bullhead."
After an agonizing ten minutes of carrying the Boarbatusk back to the ship, the cage that was sitting in the back of the bay where we had to put it in was quite intriguing as Rod didn't realize he was in the cage with it until he looked around that is.
"Mind helping me out here, buddy?" He asked though he knew that it would be so easy to just close the cage.
"Hmm...I am really tempted to just close this gate and see how long you last in there." Though I didn't want to fish him out of there so I had to pull the Boarbatusk back out as Rod came around to help me push the animal back in there.
"Wonder where tall, blond, and beautiful is?" I could only see this ending badly for him if she heard that.
"Now don't think about trying to flirt with her again, I mean as much as I like how you're being manhandled by a women you won't get any help from me."
"Come on you must at least find her attractive somewhere in that little hardness of a head." He gestured to his head. "And besides who wouldn't want a woman with those legs, I mean come on when's the last time you've seen a woman? I mean she looks like a supermodel compared to the women back home. All I am saying is that you might want to start thinking about getting out there again."
"Careful, if she caught you saying that… I will be there watching." I leaned back against the wall and saw Glynda behind him, 'Oh he's in for it now'.
"She's not here yet, I mean what's the worst that could happen?"
"I heard she beat a man to death with his own skull." I said over exaggerating.
"How is that even possible?" Rodrick said a tint of fear in his voice.
"That's what he said while he was getting beaten to death." I said trying my best to sound ominous. "Or worse she castrates you and then beats you to death with your skull."
"I think I like that option better don't you agree Rodrick?" Rod screamed as he turned around to see Goodwitch as she walked in, I barely contained my laughter at seeing Rod's face pale.
"You're on your own Rod." I'm starting to like this day, it's just full of surprises.

The ride back was interesting to say the least; Rod for the most part was silent most of the way here. Not going to lie, I did feel a little bad for him; it's true that we haven't really seen anyone our ages in a long time let alone an adult. At least I had Kyara but he was on his own for a while, I can't imagine how lonely that must have been. Still if he doesn't calm down he's going to get his jaw broken or something.
As soon as we landed back at Beacon, Ozpin was there waiting for us, mug in hand, next to him was a rather tall man with large eyebrows and an even bigger mustache. The door to the bullhead opened up and Rodrick and I picked up the cage with the Boarbatusk inside.
We grunted all the way down the ramp and toward Ozpin who simply smiled when we dropped the cage in front of him. "There, one Boarbatusk still breathing… I think."
"Good job gentlemen, Ozpin did not exaggerate on your skills. You almost remind me of a young version of myself." The eyebrow guy said tapping the cage with his hand.
I looked toward Rodrick who shrugged his shoulders and then to Ozpin, "Um…. who is this guy?"
"This is Professor Port, one of our fine teachers." Ozpin said taking a sip from his mug.
"Yes, I will be teaching you for the next four years. I can't wait to see your skills be put to good use, it almost reminds me of the time my grandfather gave me my first weapon and set me on the adventure that led me to becoming the local hero. It was a cold winter…. no wait it was a warm summer…. or was it fall? Regardless the smell of cabbages was in the air and-" Port was about to continue his elaborate story before Ozpin cleared his throat.
"You should probably get this back now, Port." Ozpin said motioning to the cage.
Port stopped his story and snapped back to reality, "Right, well I will see you gentlemen another time and can finish this story later."
Port picked up the cage by himself and walked off towards the inside of Beacon.
I was really hoping he didn't plan on finishing that story because I would not have the patience for it. I turned my heel and was about to head back home to check up on Kyara when I felt Ozpin's hand on my shoulder, "Just one more thing gentlemen."
I sighed, "What more could you want?"
Ozpin handed me a stack of papers, "Don't forget, you need a job to keep up appearances. These papers have job applications on them, you need to pick one."
I flipped through the papers, although I thought about what Rod would do for a job, "What about Rodrick?"
"He's going to get a job in the nurse's office, he has already told us about his medical experience and that would be the best fit for him." Ozpin said looking toward Rodrick.
Rodrick chuckled, "No complaints here, I can't wait to get back in the doctor's office."
I sighed and looked through the papers, "I'll let you know the moment I find one and hopefully close enough to school."
"Well don't think about it for too long, we need an answer before the end of the day." Ozpin said taking a sip from his mug.
Ozpin turned toward Rodrick, "Now follow me Rodrick, you're getting to work right away. We are doing the last medical check for the new students and the medical staff could use some help finishing it up."
"Lead the way." Rodrick said with a smile on his face. Ozpin then lead Rodrick into the school leaving me with a stack of papers and a million questions to answer about my future.

(Rodrick P.O.V)
"So all you're going to be doing is taking a blood sample and testing reaction time and eyesight. Simple." Dr. Edward said escorting me through the medical facility.
It sounded easy enough, "Alright let do this, so who do you have for me?"
Dr. Edward handed me several papers, "We're giving you three new students, Jaune Arc, Cardin Winchester, and Lie Ren. Like I said just a few basic tests, you get ready and I'll send the first one in."
Dr. Edward led me to a small room where I would be performing the tests. He closed the door behind him and I immediately headed toward the rolly chair. If there was one thing I missed it was rolly chairs, I began to spin, and spin, and spin-
"Um excuse me?"
I fell out of the chair and on my face. I groaned and looked up to see a lanky blond kid in a hoodie, jeans, and what looked like battle armor strapped to his jacket.
I stood up and dusted myself off, "Sorry about that, now who are you?"
"I'm Jaune Arc, short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it." Jaune said trying to sound as cool as possible.
I gave him a skeptical look, "Do they though?"
"Do they what?"
"Do the ladies really love it?" I said trying to see how someone like him could be any kind of a lady's man.
"My sisters like my name, and so does my mom. So kinda?" He said like he wasn't sure whether to lie or tell the truth.
I sighed and pulled out his chart. I patted my hand on the small stool. "Well then Mister Jaune Arc, take a seat."
He nervously sat down on the stool as I spun my way to the cabinet and pulled out a syringe. I wheeled my way back to Jaune, "Alright, we're just going take some blood, do some basic reaction tests and then we're done."
Jaune gulped, "Um… do we have to take blood now?"
"You're not afraid of needles are you?" I said in a mocking tone.
My tone soon changed when he slowly nodded his head. I had met people who were afraid of needles and that was easily the biggest problem when it came to running these kinds of tests. Luckily I had a foolproof strategy for moments like this. "Is that Scarlett Johansson?" I said yelling and pointing at the wall.
Jaune spun around in confusion, "Who?"
I quickly grabbed his wrist and shoved the syringe in his largest vein.
Jaune let out a small cry of pain but before he could turn around I had already gotten all the blood I needed. I was just that good.
Jaune pulled his wrist back in pain, "What was that for?"
I emptied his blood into a small vial, "That was a little trick I learned in the marines. Look we're all done with that all we need to do is check your reactions."
Jaune gave me a confused look, "Marines?"
I waved him off, "Don't worry about it, now hold still."
I pulled out a small flashlight out of the cabinet and opened his eyes shining the light at his eyeball. He had decent reaction time, he could keep up with the light but wasn't anything special. I quickly rolled back to the cabinet and pulled out a little rubber hammer. I tapped Jaune's knee and again was not impressed, he was fairly average.
I noted the results on my paper and looked back to Jaune, "Anything you want to tell me before we hand this off to the head doctor and you start your first day."
"Nope, nothing at all." Jaune said in a calm tone, however when he responded I noticed his left hand slightly twitchy. People usually have these habits when they lie and it looks like he did too. To be honest I wasn't going to push him on it. If he was going to lie on a medical file it must be an important lie.
I got up from my chair and patted him on the back, "Well looks like I'll be seeing you on the first day of school."
"Wait, you go here?" Jaune said with confusion.
"Yup, going to be working in the medical facility and taking classes, so if you ever need any medical help just ask for Rodrick." I said putting Jaune in a small headlock.
"You won't tell anyone I was afraid of needles right?" Jaune said nervously said.
"I'll think about it." I let Jaune go, "Now tell the next person to get in here."
Next was Cardin Winchester, huge guy. Rather slow reaction time but the rubber hammer barely made him flinch which told me he either had a high pain tolerance or a lot of muscles in between his nerves and skin. Either way I do not want to get on this guy's bad side. After that was Lie Ren, he was kinda cool and by cool I mean he didn't even flinch when I took his blood. It's going to take a natural disaster for this guy to lose his cool. His reaction time was top rate this guy was not messing around, hate to see him in a fight.
I sent Lie on his way when Dr. Edward walked in, "Rodrick, could you do me a huge favor?"
I sighed, "What's up?"
"We had a larger amount of female students this time around and we weren't able to get to them all. Do you mind looking at one of them?" Dr. Edward said already putting the file on the desk.
I shrugged my shoulder, "Send her in."
Dr. Edward gave me a thumbs up and headed back out. You know, as much as it may seem like I am a flirt I take my medical career very serious, male, female, something else, I am going to treat it the same way I would treat any patient. However this girl was going to make my very serious medical career very hard.
She walked in and immediately sat down the seat. I looked at her file, name was Blake Belladonna and she had raven black hair. She had this weird outfit, it kinda looked like Glynda's outfit just more black and purple. She also had a large white thing covering her chest and a black bow on her head, seemed kind of fancy.
I spun toward her and smiled, "So Blake, we're just going to do some simple tests and then we can get you outta here."
She didn't respond to my smile. She didn't even say anything; I sighed and pull out a syringe out the cabinet. Taking her blood was easy just like Ren and she didn't even laugh when I told her about Jaune.
I grabbed the small rubber hammer and tested her reaction. She had amazing reactions, may be even better than Ren. Still that's not what caught my eye, when I hit her I swear I saw the bow move. I paid it no mind and continued on with the flashlight test. This time however I knew for a fact her bow moved.
I rolled back to the desk and looked at her file, "So Blake is there anything you want to say before we finish up here?"
"No." She said not even making eye contact with me.
"Perfect, just one more test. I'm going to need you to remove your bow." I said with a plan in mind.
She looked at me, actually making eye contact. "Why do I need to remove my bow?"
"I just need to make sure you're not smuggling anything dangerous into Beacon." I said rolling back to Blake.
"I don't feel comfortable taking it off." Blake said holding her bow.
"And I don't feel comfortable giving you a pass on these test without making sure you are clean. Unless you want more tests." Yeah it was mean but it was the only way.
She looked around the room and quickly got up and locked the door, "You don't tell anyone what you saw okay?"
I put my hand over my heart, "I swear on my mother."
She sighed and slowly undid the bow revealing a set of cat ears.
I snapped my fingers, "Knew it."
Blake gave me an annoyed look, "Knew what?"
"I knew you were hiding some sort of appendage under that bow." I said with a smug look on my face.
"How did you know?" She said with a bit of curiosity in her voice.
"Your bow twitched when I was performing the test, if you're going to hide those beauties I recommend you keep them under control."
Blake gave me a confused look, "You mean you don't have a problem with Faunus?"
I sighed, "Where I come from people were once put in chains just because the color of their skin. There is no way I am going to judge you just because you have an adorable set of ears on top of your head."
Blake seemed stunned for a moment and then blushed when she realized I called her ears adorable, "So you're not going to tell anyone right?"
"I promise, but what are you going to do about the blood?" I said pointing to the vial of her blood.
She pulled out another vial of blood, "I was going to swap it out later tonight when no one was looking."
I shook my head, "I'm not sure I can condone you faking medical recorders so for the sake of both of us I am going to pretend I didn't hear anything. However I am on a coffee break and if someone happened to change the blood vials on me when I was not looking that would be a shame."
Blake immediately got the message and swapped the blood vials, she was about to head out the door when she stopped. "Are you sure you won't get in trouble?"
"I don't know what you're talking about; we finished your testing a few minutes ago." I said giving Blake a sly smile.
She smiled back and headed out the door. I leaned back in my chair and smiled it felt good to be the good guy.

(Christian's Pov)
I internally sighed to myself as Rodrick and Ozpin left, while I had to take a bunch of paperwork back to base or home, I never called anything a home since it's just been a small base we just move into and move again. I probably wouldn't get used to learning again; hunting the Grimm wouldn't be easy either. Well as the old saying goes "work hard, play hard".
Good thing it wasn't that far. I started seeing more students on the way, though most didn't dress like it so I assumed they were all new here. Most of them just glanced my way which I didn't pay any heed to, I just continued walking. The wind picked up and I made sure my papers didn't fly off, though it would slowly narrow my options, I decided against it.
As luck would have it against me I turned a corner and accidentally bumped into someone though I couldn't whom it was since I failed to hold my balance and fell to the ground and my papers began to get picked up by the wind.
"Oh crap." Well goodbye paperwork. I stood back up and looked at who I bumped into, it was a girl with hair as white as snow; as cheesy as that sounds it really was like snow, which kinda made me wonder if it was natural or was this girl just really stressed. Regardless she was wearing all white to match her hair with a skirt… really? She decided to wear a white skirt? Beyond that she also wore a white dress and boots that came up to her ankles. Oddly enough at the end of her skirt and dress there was this little snow pattern, as if the snow metaphor wasn't already being hit hard enough. The only thing that wasn't white was the color of her collar that she had popped up which was red.
"Sorry, for walking into you," I held my hand out for her to help her up but she got up quickly with a glare.
"Watch where you're going."
"I said I was sorry, jeez." I still admitted though clearly she did not take it to heart and still glared at me.
"Well sorry won't cut it do you know who I am?" I had no clue who she was of course, though it would probably get worse if I said no.
"Not a clue." I face palmed in my mind.
"You must be new here let me refresh your memory, I'm Weiss Schnee." The look she gave me was almost sinister as if I would suddenly expect to know her by name.
"Still don't know who you are." She started fuming, but she quickly calmed down though the glare was still there.
"Heiress, of the Schnee dust company."
Though I remembered reading about dust but still didn't know that she owned it or was the daughter of the company, I was about to reply but she cut me off, "Have you been living under a rock or something?"
"No," I started, feeling a bit insulted I let it slide because of what she didn't know about what happened to me and the group. "Look I'm still sorry, but I have to go now I have to get a job somehow..."
A paper fell from above which I assumed must have been one of my applications but just before I could grab it Weiss quickly snatched it away.
"Hey! That's mine." I shouted but she quickly read it and started laughing which honestly started to creep me out a bit, "What so funny?"
"Oh nothing just this application for being a bodyguard."
"Hey, as long as I have a job I will only care that I make pay." She smiled as if there was more, which there was.
"Oh but did I forget to mention that it was for me."
"What!" She held out her hand and I snatched the paper and read it. Yes one of the lines said Guarding Weiss Schnee and a bunch of other stuff I didn't really care about. I looked back up to see smugness all over her face; I turned around to walk away "I think I'll find another job then."
"Oh, so you don't think you can guard someone like me? Are you not MAN enough to do it." I stopped in my tracks and looked at her as she was smirking at me.
"Is that a challenge I hear?" I asked though irked at this.
"Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't." She was looking at her hands when she answered.
I was not going to let her question my pride so I took out a pen I had in my pocket and began writing the necessary information for me to start working for her. I gave the paper to her in which she read to confirm it.
"Excellent you start working for me in two days' time don't be late Redfield." and with that she went off leaving me with my thoughts.
"I let my pride get to me by a girl, great." Why do I care all of a sudden?
