A/N- Here we are, chapter 3. Hope you enjoy. I know this story isn't for everyone but I hope you at the very least like some of the concepts. Be sure to leave a review and expect random updates.

Had to make up incantations for some of the kido spells so if they sound similar to others or are lacking in a way hen you know why.

Time seemed to fly by and before they knew it, the school year had started. Tier and Yoruichi watched from the window of their room as hundreds of students poured out of the airships that had brought them to this institution of higher learning, Beacon Academy. A school that teaches young aspiring Huntsman and Huntresses the finer points of fighting and aims to improve their combat effectiveness against the Grimm as well as criminals.

"So, after tomorrow the teams will be formed and then classes begin. You ready for this?" asked Yoruichi.

Tier let out a small chuckle in response. "I suppose I am. No time for second guessing now."

"That's for sure. I'm excited to be able to warp, err, I mean mold, young minds again."

"...I'm already worried for our future students."

Suddenly an explosion went off in the courtyard.

"Seems like the fun has already started." mused Yoruichi as she sat down on her bed. "So, are you sure there is a chance they could learn Resurreccion?"

Tier took a seat on her bed across from her. "With how similar their Aura and Semblances are to reiryoku and Zanpakuto, I'd say the chance is there. Especially if they are experienced enough with their weapons. My theory is that their Aura has leaked into their weapons after continuous use, and as such they should function similarly to Zanpakuto. All that remains is for them to make contact with the weapon and then achieving Resurreccion will be a simple matter. Resurreccion should allow them to draw out the true strength of their Semblances. It will pull out the innate power that their Semblances represent."

"I would have suggested we try it the Shinigami way, but we don't have any asauchi." responded Yoruichi.

"Well you will be busy trying to teach them kido anyway. Leave the weapon arts to me."

"Yeah, that's true." Yoruichi said as she got up from the bed. "I'm gonna head down and check out the students, see what we'll be working with. You wanna come with?"

"Sure. Sounds like a good idea."

The two women left their room and walked down the halls until they arrived in the auditorium. It was a large room that was filled to the brim with students both new and returning. It was easy to pick out the fresh faced newbies from how they gazed in wonder and excitement at everything as well as the nervous air around them. The auditorium itself was rather impressive with large arched windows that let light flood into the room. A moderately sized stage was set up along the back wall with a single microphone set up at its center. Ozpin walked out to the microphone, cane in hand as always, and was followed closely by Glynda.

Yoruichi and Tier watched from the side hall as Ozpin adjusted his glasses and began his speech.

"I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction."

The students began to whisper amongst themselves.

"You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." he said as he finished and stepped away from the mic before walking off-stage.

Glynda took his place at the mic. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed. Feel free to explore the school for the time being. If you need help, be sure to ask one of the teachers stationed around the campus."

As she finished the students began to scatter, no doubt to meet with friends or explore.

"I sense some strong souls among them." Yoruichi whispered to Tier.

"Indeed. Nothing comparable to us, but still strong by this worlds standards."

Yoruichi picked out a few from the crowd. A girl with black hair that was tinted red who wore a red and black dress. A blonde haired boy who wore a metal chestplate over a hoodie.

"This is going to be very interesting." she spoke with a sly smile. Tier almost had to withhold a shiver at Yoruichi's smile. It was a smile that promised mischief. "Well, I'm gonna go hit the gym." Yoruichi said as she headed back down the hall. "You?"

"I think I'm going to go over the lesson plan back at the room. I've seen all I need to here." Tier said as she went in the other direction.

Yang Xiao-Long and her little sister Ruby Rose, were walking down the halls as they investigated the school. It was certainly everything they had expected and then some. It had state of the art facilities, as well as a very impressive architectural design.

"Wow..." Ruby said with mouth agape. "This place is sooo cool! It has everything!"

"It certainly does." replied her sister who led them down the hall. "I wonder where the gym is?"

"I want to know where the armory is!"

"Of course that's what you want to look for." Yang said playfully as she ruffled her sisters hair.

"Ah! Yang! Knock it off!" Ruby whined as she flailed her arms about. The black/red haired girl then ran her fingers thru her hair in a futile attempt to fix the mess it had become.

"Anyway... the teacher we asked said that the gym was down this hall, but he didn't say how far." Yang said as she looked about for any sign of a gym. Just as she was about to give up, she saw the sign. Gym. "Ah, here we are. Now to see what I have to work with." Yang then pushed open the doors and entered the gym.

It was a large room that was filled to the brim with training equipment of all kinds. Weights, climbing rope, medicine balls, yoga mats, punching bags, it had everything. There were even a couple boxing rings for fighting practice.

Yang then noticed that there was someone already working out. It was a dark skinned woman with an orange shirt and black pants who was working over the punching bag. She was using a martial arts style that Yang was unfamiliar with. Then again, she was more of a brawler and had foregone a specific style to master. However for some reason Yang found herself curious as to what the style the woman was using. It was very fast and, if the swinging of the punching bag was any indication, was powerful as well.

"I wonder if she's a teacher." spoke Ruby.

"Probably. She looks a little old to be a student."

"Who are you calling old?" the woman asked in a tone that promised pain should they answer incorrectly. "I'll have you know that I'm only twenty-two." (a blatant lie, but who would believe the truth anyway.)

"Really?" Yang asked with shock.

The woman struck the punching bag with a palm strike so hard that it blew out the back. "What was that?"

"Yang, she scares me..." Ruby said nervously as she hid behind her big sister, who wasn't faring much better.

Then the woman began to laugh out loud. "I'm just messing with you! I wouldn't harm a potential student for my class."

The two girls relaxed. "Potential student? What do you mean?" asked Ruby.

"I'm a teacher who just started this year. The name's Yoruichi Shihoin. And I teach the optional class called Kido." she said as she walked over and held out her hand to shake.

The three shook hands and Yang and Ruby introduced themselves.

"So, you're teaching an optional class, what's it about?" asked Ruby. "Does it have anything to do with weapons?"

"Part of it does. My assistant teacher will be teaching weapon arts while I focus on working your Aura. But that's all I'll tell you for now. You would be the perfect candidate for my class though." Yoruichi said to Ruby.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I can sense that you have a powerful soul. You have what it takes to pass my class so I suggest you consider it."

"O-okay, I'll think about it." Ruby said with a nod.

"Anyway..." Yang interrupted. "What was that fighting style you were using before?" she asked as she pointed to the destroyed punching bag.

"It's called Hakuda. It's a martial arts style that focuses on powerful, rapid attacks to overwhelm ones opponent."

"Cool. So that way you can fight even without your weapon."

"Oh, I don't use a weapon."

"WHAT?!" the two sisters shouted in shock.

"I'm a master at hand to hand combat so that's all I really need. Is it that shocking?" asked Yoruichi.

"Of course it is!" responded Yang. "Even I have Ember Celica so I can shoot whilst I punch."

"So you don't have a cool weapon..." Ruby sobbed. "I feel bad for you. You're really missing out."

"Really? You think that weapons are necessary? How about we have a spar and find out?" suggested Yoruichi.

"What? Are you serious?"

Yoruichi grinned. "Nope."

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

"After all, I would hate to cripple a student the day before initiation."

"You sound pretty sure of yourself." challenged Yang.

"Hmmph, girls these days are all talk and no walk. I could run circles around you." Yoruichi said cockily.

"You care to bet on that?" said Yang as her eyes flashed red in excitement.

"What did you have in mind?"

"Hundred Lien says I can beat you in combat where you're unarmed."

"Under normal circumstance I am against betting with my students, but for you I'll make an exception." said Yoruichi. "But we'll have the match at a later date. Initiation is tomorrow and you need to be at your peak strength."

"You're on." Yang said with a grin as she cracked her knuckles.

It was the day after initiation and teams RWBY and JNPR were rushing through the halls to reach their first class in order to avoid being late.

"Any idea how far until we reach the classroom?" asked Jaune.

"It should be just around the corner." replied Ruby as she continued running.

The group turned the corner and could see their goal in the distance. In one last burst of speed they all flew through the door just as the bell rang.

"Aaaaannndd SAFE!" shouted Nora with her fists raised in the air.

"I... I can't believe... we made it." Jaune said between breaths as he collapsed to his knees.

"Of course we made it on time. That's just how awesome we are." Yang said as she offered a hand to the downed boy.

It was then that the group noticed that they had made quite the spectacle with their entrance as all eyes were on them.

"Umm, guys? Maybe we should take our seats now." Ruby said nervously.

"That would be a good idea." came a familiar voice.

The group turned to see a familiar face, at least for Ruby and Yang. The teacher of their first class was Yoruichi. Of course, had they remembered the class name they would have known that. Yoruichi was wearing a similar black and orange outfit and was waving her scroll around in one hand. Standing next to her however, was a woman they didn't recognize.

She had skin that was a shade lighter than Yoruichi's and wore a white high collar jacket that covered her neck, baggy white pants, and a blue scarf that covered the lower half of her face. Her blonde hair was tied in three braids that hung down to her neckline.

"Unless of course, you want to delay the class any longer." Yoruichi spoke again, breaking the group out of their stupor. They then proceeded to take their seats among their fellow classmates.

"Well, now that everyone is here we can start. My name is Yoruichi Shihoin. You may refer to me as Miss Shihoin or Miss Yoruichi, I really don't care what your preference is." Yoruichi said loudly as she stood behind the desk at the front of the classroom.

"And my name is Tier Harribel." said the other woman. "I would prefer it if you would refer to me as Miss Harribel."

"Now then, In order to get to know you all, we are going to go around the room and everyone will say their name and one piece of information they would like to share about themselves. Okay?"

The class replied 'yes' in unison.

"Good. You, front row with the blonde hair. You go first." Yoruichi said as she pointed to Jaune.

"Umm, my name is Jaune Arc, and my goal in life is to be the best Huntsman I can be."

"Good, next."

"My name is Pyrrah Nikos and I would like to make some new friends this year."

"My name is Lie Ren and I enjoy meditating."

"My name is Nora Valkyrie and I like to smash things with Magnhild!"

"My name is Blake Belladonna and I like to read."

"MY name is Yang Xiao-Long and I'm gonna be the strongest Huntress there is."

"My name is Weiss Schnee and I do not like ruffians or the uncivilized."

"My name is Ruby Rose and I love weapons."

This continued until the entirety of the class had been introduced at which point Yoruichi spoke up again.

"All right, first things first; this class is completely optional and choosing not to take it or receiving a failing grade will not affect your average. The reason for why this class is optional is because we will be teaching you things you may or may not be able to do."

A hand was raised.

"Yes?"

"What do you mean by 'we may or may not be able to use what you teach us'?"

"Excellent question. Here's another, who here has heard of the multiverse theory?"

Several hands were raised but most remained down.

"The multiverse theory states that there exists an infinite number of realities spread out across all of existence. Some similar and others vastly different. Me and Miss Harribel are living proof of this theory."

"What? You mean you're aliens or something?" scoffed Cardin.

"In a way, yes we are. Whether or not you believe us is up to your own discretion, but in time I believe that you will agree with me on my statement. But back on topic. We will be teaching you the techniques of our world. Techniques that we are not yet sure you will be able to use. However, if you can use them, then your power will increase exponentially. After this class is over, only those who wish to pursue it need return. The rest of you will have a free period instead."

There were scattered murmurs among the students, it would seem most were unsure of whether or not they wanted to take the class.

"We will be teaching you two things in this class; kido spells and how to perform a Resurreccion. I will be teaching you kido whilst Tier will teach you how to perform a Resurreccion." Yoruichi said as she stepped in front of the desk. "For now we will focus on kido. In its essence, kido is a form of combat based on spells. The spells are produced with reiryoku, or in your case Aura, and are classified into three categories. Hado for direct attacks, Bakudo for support, and Kaido for healing. In order to cast a spell you must recite an incantation, however more experienced people can cast without the incantation. Most spells are graded on a scale from 1 to 99, spells of the latter being the most powerful and the most difficult to perform. I will now demonstrate an example of Bakudo, but first I need a volunteer. Who wants extra credit?"

"Ooh! Me!" cried Nora as she shot up from her seat.

"Alright, come on down to the front of the room and stand across from me."

As Nora made her way over, Yoruichi explained exactly what she would be doing. "The particular Bakudo spell I will be using is used to restrain and move its victims. So long as they don't struggle too hard they won't be harmed by it." Nora then took her position. "Are you ready Nora?"

"Yep!"

"Okay then. Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini. Look upon yourself with horror and tear out your own throat. Bakudo #9, Horin!" Yoruichi chanted as she pointed her index and middle fingers at Nora. As she did, an orange-hued tendril with spiraling yellow patterns was generated at her finger tips. It shot forward and wrapped around Nora's body. Yoruichi then raised her hand upwards and lifted Nora with the tendril. Needless to say, everyone was dumbstruck.

Seeing that she had the desired affect, Yoruichi then released Nora from the Bakudo's influence. "As you can see, at the very least we have access to abilities that are beyond what you thought possible. If that isn't proof enough that we are from a different world then I don't know what is. Moving on, I will now demonstrate an example of Hado." Yoruichi said as she walked across the classroom to where there was a small wooden post with a target attached to the top. She placed the post up against the wall before walking back to the center of the room. "Feel the wrath of the heavens judgment and lash out with all your might. Hado #4, Byakurai!" Yoruichi shouted as she pointed her index finger towards the target. A bolt of lightning fired out from her outstretched digit and shot right through the target, leaving a scorched hole in its center.

Silence. And then, a response. "That. Was. AWESOME!" shouted Nora. "Did you see that Ren?! She was all like 'Feel the wrath of the heavens judgement' and then she was all like 'zap', and the target was all like 'bam', and it was sooo cool!"

"Yes Nora, I saw it." was her friends resigned response.

"And she did it without the use of Dust! I wanna learn that! That way I can smite my enemies and be as a god!" she said as she continued her over-excited rant.

Ren let out a long sigh as he knew he would not be getting any peace and quiet any time soon.

"I appreciate your enthusiasm to learn, but you should know that this art requires precision and concentration, otherwise the spell can be overcharged and backfire. And you don't want that." Yoruichi said sternly. "Now, as for Resurreccion, I will hand off the explanation to Harribel."

Tier stepped forward as Yoruichi stepped back. "Resurreccion is the ability to draw out your true strength in order to alter your weapon and form. Normally such a technique requires a Zanpakuto, which is a special type of sword, but my theory is that your own weapons should be enough for it provided that you have a strong connection to them." Tier said as she removed Tiburon from its sheathe.

Ruby looked in wonder at the magnificent blade, especially its lack of a center.

"As you can see my blade lacks center, but when I perform Resurreccion, it takes on the form of a large shark tooth shaped sword and allows me to control and produce vast amounts of water."

Ruby's hand shot up.

"Yes miss Rose?"

"Can you show us?" she asked, barely able to contain her excitement.

"Unfortunately no, at least not here. In such an enclosed space, the pressure released from my Resurreccion would destroy the room."

The students began whispering among themselves about what they thought of the situation before Yoruichi interrupted them. "Okay, Half of the class will start kido training with me while the other half will do Resurreccion training with Harribel. The left half of the classroom, congrats, you're with me. The rest of you follow Harribel to go get your weapons from your lockers. We will switch after 20 minuets."

Among the teams going with Tier were teams RWBY and CFVY, while among Yoruichi's group were teams JNPR and CRDL.

While the rest of the class left with Tier, Yoruichi addressed the remaining students. "Okay you guys. To some, kido will come easy and to others it will be difficult. But, provided you have the drive to learn it, it should be possible. In order to perform kido you need to recite the spells incantation, mold your Aura into a concentrated form, and then visualize the finished product. We will start off with learning Bakudo #1, Sai." Yoruichi said, making sure everyone was paying attention. "The only danger to this Bakudo is trying to resist it. Sai is a spell used to restrain opponents non-lethally by locking their arms behind their backs. It can be used on singular targets or against a group of people. Observe; Bakudo #1, Sai!" Yoruichi shouted as she pointed her fingers towards the class whose arms suddenly snapped behind their backs.

"Hey!" shouted a fuming Cardin. "What's the big idea?!"

"Cool it Winchester. I was making a point. Even low level kido spells can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Know that I am essentially handing you a loaded gun with these spells. You must promise me that you will only use them when necessary, only against the enemy, and that you will make sure you are able to use it properly in class before using it in the field. Understood?"

"Yes Miss Shihoin." chorused most of the class, save for a grumble from Cardin.

Yoruichi then released the class from the bakudo. "Okay. Now then, The first part to learning kido is memorizing the incantation. For Sai it is; It is through the will of the strong that we lay down our arms in order to resolve our differences peacefully. And you say this while pointing your index and middle fingers at the target. Now I will give you 5 minuets to memorize the incantation before we try it out. Begin!"

While one half of the class was training with Yoruichi, the other half was with Tier. They had headed to the lockers in order to retrieve their weapons and were now sitting cross-legged in the courtyard with their weapons resting across their laps.

"In order to access Resurreccion you must make contact with your weapon. In order to do that we must meditate. The stance you are currently in is the most effective means of contacting your weapon. That is, if you are even able to. This is a process that takes time. It is not something that happens overnight. You must meditate, close out all other thoughts, and listen for your weapon to call out to you. Do this enough times and you will be able to talk with your weapon. After that, achieving Resurreccion is a simple matter of gaining the weapons support." explained Tier. "Some of you may hear your weapon sooner than others. It is all dependent on your level of connection with it."

The majority of the class was at least trying to meditate and listen for their weapon, but there were a few that thought it was just a waste of time or fell asleep.

"I know you may think this weird, but trust me. If you are capable of Reserreccion, then this is the way to go about it."

"Miss Harribel?" called out Ruby.

"Yes miss Rose?"

"Can you show us your Resurreccion now so we know what we're trying to accomplish?"

Tier pondered for a moment with her hand on her chin before looking back at Ruby. "I'm still not sure about the safety of using my Resurreccion here, but perhaps if we were to go beyond the school grounds I will be able to release safely. My Resurreccion is quite powerful and just activating it can damage the surrounding area as I have already mentioned."

Ruby slumped over in disappointment before returning to her meditation. It was quite surprising to see her taking it seriously. She must really want to increase the power of Crescent Rose.

Tier continued to observe the students as the class went on while also keeping an eye on the clock for when she and Yoruichi would swap students. Eventually the appointed time came and the class swapped teachers. The switched classes were met with mixed results in terms of interest on the students part, but class continued nonetheless.

As time winded down the class reconvened back in the classroom where Yoruichi addressed them again. "Alright, that was a good first day. Nothing may have happened but it takes time to see results. That being said, I expect less than half of you will still be here tomorrow. By the end of the week, those still attending I expect to count with my fingers. Only those who truly are determined to learn will remain. You are dismissed!" as she said that the bell rang and the class dispersed.

Soon the classroom was empty except for Tier and Yoruichi. "So, has was your lesson?" asked Yoruichi.

"It went well. Some of the students took it seriously whilst others were obviously uninterested. You?"

"No progress as of yet, but that's to be expected. Only time will tell if they have the potential to learn kido." Yoruichi said as she leaned on the podium. "So what do you want to do now? Our next class isn't for another hour."

"I think I'll head to the library to read. Would you care to join me?" asked Tier.

"Nah, I think I'm going to sit in on some of the other classes." Yoruichi said as she and Tier left the room. "See you later." the two then waved each other off before going in opposite directions.

"So, what did you guys think of Miss Shihoin's and Miss Harribel's class?" asked Ruby as her team sat down for lunch with JNPR.

"It was... interesting to say the least." answered Pyrrah.

"It was so cool! I want to learn how to shoot lightning from my fingertips!" exclaimed Nora as she jumped up from her seat. Ren, who sat next to her, put a hand on her shoulder and lowered her back down.

"It is rather curious." spoke Blake. "Do you believe their whole 'alternate world' story?"

"Hmmph, if you ask me it is just that, a story." huffed Weiss.

"Oh come on. Can't you just give them the benefit of doubt? Miss Shihoin did do some pretty amazing things without the use of Dust." argued Yang.

"I suppose you are right... but that doesn't make it any easier to believe. It just seems so complicated. Like even if it's true you still can't grasp the concept enough to believe it."

"Seems like you are having a hard time trying to process it. Maybe I can help ease the burden." Jaune said smoothly. "I've been told that I'm good at explaining complicated things. Or was it good at complicating explanations?"

Weiss scooted away from the blonde as she focused on her meal.

"I really hope they are telling the truth and that we are capable of Resurreccion. I can't wait to see how much cooler Crescent Rose can be!" Ruby squealed.

"Of course that's what you're excited about." said Yang teasingly as she poked her sisters cheek. "Sometimes I worry that you have an unhealthy relationship with weapons."

"How so?" asked Ruby as she tilted her head ever so slightly.

"Remember when you used to read Crescent Rose bedtime stories?" Yang asked with a grin.

"Yaaaannnng!" Ruby groaned as the rest of the table giggled.

"That sounds so adorable!" said Nora.

"It really was. I should have recorded a video." Yang lamented.

The next morning with their first class, true to what Yoruichi had guessed, only half remained. Still, they continued their lesson as planned with but there were still no results. The later classes had even fewer people still attending.

By the end of the week only the first period class still had attendees. Namely teams RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY. Yoruichi and Tier were honestly surprised that they had so many attending by this point.

"Okay class, it seems that you are either the most determined students there are, or you have nothing better to do right now." Yoruichi said as she addressed the class. "Truthfully, you are the only students that remain out of all of our classes. I will say that I am impressed by your tenacity to learn."

"As am I." spoke Tier.

"Which is why I think a little reward is in order."

"What kind of reward?" asked Ruby.

"That will be a surprise. If you are interested in what the reward is then return to this classroom Saturday morning at 7am and make sure you have the weekend free." answered Yoruichi. "But for today we still have class, so get ready for your kido studies."
