(Last Time)

"The next team is made up of Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Lie Ren, Nora Valkyrie," Ozpin continued calmly, the screen changing to show the different members of the team, as the teens in question walked up to the stage, "You retrieved the golden rook pieces. From now on, you are team RWRN (Rowan)."

Nora bounded up onto the stage, a big grin on her face as she hugged a resigned looking Ren to her like a teddy bear. Weiss and Ruby also walked onto the stage, the two of them acting more reserved as Weiss tried to live up to her family name and Ruby kept ending nervous and sad looks over at her sister. No doubt upset she wasn't in the same team as her.

"The leader of which will be Ruby Rose!" Ozpin continued smirking into his coffee cup as he saw the reactions.

Ruby let out a small 'eeping' noise, Weiss just looked shock, Nora let out a big 'yay!' and Ren looked conflicted.

Harry could hear Yang cheering for her sister as the team was ushered away by Glynda. Looking back to the screen he saw it go blank before a number of new images appeared as Ozpin read out the name of the final team.

"And finally, Pyrrha Nikos. Harry Branwen. Blake Belladonna. Yang Xiao Long. You four retrieved the golden knight pieces. From this day forward you will work together as team HYPB (Hyper). And you will be led by Pyrrha Nikos!" Ozpin finished his eyes now gleaming with interest as he saw Yang's expression go slack jawed for a moment, before she turned to look at Harry a dangerous look in her eyes.

Chapter 4

Slowly pushing himself up from his bed, Harry yawned and lazily stretched his arms out to his side, pushing himself to his feet and ignoring the slight cracking sound his back made as he did so. Yesterday had been a long day and that was not just because of the Initiation but because of the confrontation he had with Yang afterwards. Frowning slightly at that, he looked across the room at the snoring form of Yang, who at that moment was sprawled out over her bed, a slight trail of drool making its way from her mouth, pooling slightly on her pillow.

Thinking back on the conversation they had after the teams were announced Harry had to hold back a grimace, looking back on it he might have got off lucky, it could have gone a lot worse.

(Flash Back)

They had just entered their dorm room, when Yang finally lost her cool and exploded at him. She had been glaring at his back the entire way to the dorm room, her mouth tightly clamped shut even as her violet eyes flashed dangerously when ever Harry met her gaze. She was obviously pissed off and Harry knew why, he was just thankful she had not immediately started interrogating him in the main hall, and had instead waited until they were in a more private setting.

Letting out a sigh Harry closed the door of their new dorm room behind them, silently imbuing the door and the frame with a 'locking' and 'silencing' charm as he did so. Turning around and ignoring the looks of confusion on Blake's and Pyrrha's faces as they looked between the fuming blonde and the calm, stoic Harry. He met Yang's gaze and waited for her to speak.

"Who are you?! Are you related to my mother!?" Yang shouted, her eyes flashing red as she glared at Harry, demanding an answer from him.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked calmly, seemingly not bothered by Yang's crimson eyed glare.

"You know what I mean Harry, Branwen is my mother's last name, and my uncles!" Yang replied her temper not cooling at Harry's calm response, instead it seem to only burn hotter.

"You know Remnant is a big place Yang, just because I share the same last name as someone does not mean that I am connected to them." Harry responded, still unbothered by Yang's anger or her questions, though he did take note of the dawning realisation that was spreading across Blake and Pyrrha's faces as they seemed to finally understand what the problem was.

Yang calmed slightly at that, but did not stop her questioning. "That maybe true, but it is still an unusual name. So I will ask again, who are you? And do you know my mother?"

"As I mentioned before I am Harry Branwen." He replied before shrugging slightly and continuing, "And yes I know your mother, she is after all also my mother."

"W-what!" Yang gasped out as she lost her composure, she was expecting cousin, or some other distant relation, she was not expecting brother.

"Well adopted brother if you want to be exact. Our mother found me wandering in the forest as a young child, when she did she had two choices to make, she could have left me there to die, or she could have taken me with her. Obviously she chose to bring me with her." Harry continued dryly, ignoring the light gasp Pyrrha made when she heard how he was found alone in the woods.

"So she adopted you, she kept you?" Yang replied her tone somewhat hollow as she continued to look at Harry.

"Grudgingly yes, though I can tell you that she is not exactly mother of the year. But even so yes, she chose to adopt me as her own son, the reasons why I don't know, nor do I know her reasons for leaving you with your father. She might have raised me, but she did not tell me every aspect of her life, even so though, she did mention that you existed, and did say that she cared for you." Harry said once again shrugging as he didn't know what else to say.

"She cares for me?" Yang asked her voice slightly fragile now as she looked at Harry, her eyes having faded back to violet.

"Yes she does." He replied, his eyes flickering back to his other team mates, seeing the slightly awkward looks on their faces.

"Where is she? I have been looking for her for years." Yang replied, her voice now heating up with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. Not only did she find out she had a brother, which was obviously a shock, but it also looked like she would soon be meeting with her mother for the first time. She was experiencing so many emotions right now she just didn't know what to do, she didn't know whether she would rage at her mother for abandoning her or whether she would be happy to be reunited with her. A mixture of both was what she thought she would feel.

"No idea I am afraid. I haven't seen or spoken to her for two years, not since I left to come to Beacon." Harry replied once again shrugging in a 'what can you do' fashion. "As I said she is not exactly great mother material, so I can honestly say I have no idea where she is or what she is doing."

"Oh." Yang replied, that one word holding a mixture of disappointment, sadness and anger. "So she has abandoned you to?"

"Seems that way, though when it comes to mum I really don't know, for all I know this could be her teaching me some kind of lesson, or it could be her cutting ties with me completely, I really don't know." Harry replied wincing slightly as he saw Yang's expression when she heard his words, letting out a sigh he continued. "What I do know however is that she is still keeping an eye on me, I know that much, just as I know she is keeping an eye on you to."

"So she watches me?" Yang asked in confusion.

"As I said I have no idea, I wouldn't even try to understand the thought process of Raven Branwen. After all doing so would only give me a head ache, trust me." Harry continued, rubbing his head slightly as he did so.

"Ok." Yang said, before a very small smile made its way across her face. "So you're my brother?"

"In a manner of speaking." Harry replied stoically.

"And you were flirting with your little sister; wow Harry I have to say I never took you for the type." Yang replied her expression becoming more amused as she saw how uncomfortable Harry was becoming at this line of questioning.

"I think I preferred it when you were angry with me." Harry said with a sigh, once more looking across at his team mates and seeing that they were looking as awkward as he felt.

"Don't you mean 'Yangry'," Yang said her smile getting more saucy as she approached the now uncomfortable looking Harry.

Harry snorted at that before replying, "Now don't be in such a 'Harry' Yang!"

"Ha!" Yang snorted slightly as she let out a slight chuckle."You really are the worst."

"Coming from you?"

(End of Flash back)

As he said it could have gone a lot worse than it did, luckily though the two of them were still on good term, though Harry knew that there would still be some awkwardness. What he thought made it so easy, was probably the fact that he too had been abandoned by Raven, even if it was only two years ago, it gave the two a common base to bond on. Though Harry also knew he would be fielding a lot more questions about their mother from Yang, and they were ones he would answer truthfully as while Raven was no mother of the year, she did do right by Harry when she raised and looked after him.

Looking around their dorm room, Harry took note of the room he'll be living in for the next four years in Beacon, it was pretty similar to the one he had last year, only on the other side of the building. It was a large room with four single beds in it, each of which had a corresponding table and desk along the wall. It was quite a spacious room, though he had no doubt that by the time everyone had unpacked their luggage it would not seem quite as spacious. Looking away from his surroundings Harry instead looked at his roommates, the other members of his new team, all of whom were currently fast asleep on their own beds.

Harry's partner Pyrrha was their leader, the choice didn't surprise Harry as she had bother the strength and the training for the position, all she lacked was the experience and confidence, both of which would come with time. His partner was strong for a first year, she certainly lived up to the reputation, or at least she did from what he had heard from the other students, the only thing she lacked was confidence in herself, she was always so polite, what she needed was a bit more fire in her. As for his other teammates... well Harry had not quite formed an opinion on them quite yet.

Blake Belladona was a quiet and somewhat antisocial girl. Something that didn't really bother Harry as he was similar when he had first arrived at Beacon, it had taken his old team several months to make him become more sociable and extroverted. But even so, Harry also knew she was hiding something, and he had an idea what, especially after seeing how her bow twitched when she showed certain emotions, and the fact she had refused to take it off, it led him to believe she was a faunus, one who for some reason was hiding her heritage. But that was her business, and Harry was more than happy to let it stay that way as long as it did not impact on the rest of the team. From what he had seen she was a skilled fighter, one who seemed to use a fighting style that included using a gun, a sword and a ribbon that connected the two, it was certainly unique, and one which would be very useful in terms of teamwork. But even so until he knew her better he was keeping his mind open.

Blake's partner Yang however, was pretty much her counterpart in every sense of the word. Unlike Blake's quiet and introverted nature, Yang was full of fire, she was full of confidence and had no problem saying exactly what was on her mind. It was something Harry immediately liked about her. He had also noted though that she cared a lot about her sister Ruby, and that she had a protective streak, both of which were again good things. Her fighting style was as straight forward as her personality; she was strike hard, strike fast. Her style was an unrelenting mix of aura enhanced punches and shotgun blast, both utilizing the shotgun firing gauntlets she had as her weapon. This style was only enhanced by her unique Semblance.

Turning his attention away from his team mates he instead began to dress himself in his school uniform, pulling on the white button up shirt and blazer, sticking his tongue out slightly as he tied his tie. Once he was dressed he decided that he should probably wake up the rest of his team mates, raising his hand Harry clicked his fingers, instead of the sound one would expect from such an action though, there was instead a high pitched shrieking noise, that immediately woke up everyone in the room. Their reactions almost comical to Harry as he watched, Yang woke up in an explosion of action, only to get tangled up in her sheets and fall off her bed as she did so. Pyrrha's reaction was a lot more violent, as upon hearing the sound she burst into action, her weapon pulled into her hand by her Semblance before it was thrown at Harry. Not that this bothered him as he stopped it in mid-air just in front of him with a mere flick of his fingers, still though her shout of "HARRY!" was very amusing.

Blake's reaction though was by far the best, as the faunus girl upon hearing the sound jumped almost a metre in the air before she landed on her hands and feet, a scandalized look on her face as her amber eyes darted around the room, before locking onto Harry as the source of the disturbance. As she did so, Harry could swear he could hear the girl quietly hissing at him.

Letting out a bark of laughter Harry quickly fled for the door, removing his charms on it with a wave of his hand before he dived through it.

Just as he heard Yang shout after him, "HARRY!" Even as he heard the shout, he could see a sudden fiery yellow light became visible in the gap below the door, clear evidence that Yang was not very happy with her wake up call.

This was followed by Pyrrha's weapon Milo, striking the door, the blade piercing the wood with ease, the blade now sticking out of the door.

Shouting through the door to the three now awake and angry girls Harry attempted to calm them. "Come on, I am just trying to be a good team mate, I mean lessons are in half an hour and I know you girls need at least that long to get ready for the day!"

The answer he received from Yang said it all, "PAIN! SO MUCH PAIN!"

"Is that a threat or a promise?" Harry called back cheekily, only to jump away as the door shook, probably due to something heavy being thrown at it. "Well that's just rude."

As he said that Harry noticed that the door to the room opposite their own was a jar, and rather destructive sounds were emerging from within. Walking up to the door and knocking only for the door to swing open, Harry soon found himself faced with an odd sight.

The room was a shambles, it seemed like Ruby and her team had all tried to unpack their belongings only to realise that there was not enough room, and so they had instead decided to improvise.

"Morning all!" Harry called out as he made his presence known.

"Harry!" Ruby said as she approached him, the girl looking like she was going to say something., before deciding otherwise

"Ermm… decorating?" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow as he looked around the room.

"Unpacking and settling in," Weiss replied primly as she too looked around the room, the white haired girl looking like she had only just realised what they had done. Her response getting a "Yeah!" of agreement from Ruby.

Nodding his head absently in agreement, Harry looked past the two girls and at the room in its entirety. Nora could be seen in the corner of the room with two paint brushes in her hand, the quirky orange haired girl painting what looked like both pancakes and hearts onto one of the walls, with her sometimes painting the occasional heart shaped pancake, In the other corner of the room however he could see an expensive looking oil painting which showed an expansive view of one of the frozen tundra's in Atlas, something which Harry guessed belonged to Weiss. Flicking his eyes to the other side of the room he could see Lie Ren assembling a small coffee table, with a box next to him, which had the label 'tea set number 4, do not touch Nora' written in bold letters on the side.

The most obvious change to the room however was the beds, or rather the bunk beds. Harry almost felt like laughing as he saw a set of bunk beds that looked like they were made by Ren and Nora. The two beds were balanced on top of one another, though it looked like someone, 'Nora', had attempted to glue the two beds together with what looked like syrup, only for Ren to have tied the remains of one of the torn curtains in the room like a rope, and instead use that to create the bunk bed. In all it looked quite stable, though it was funny seeing droplets of golden syrup dripping from where the beds were attached and onto the floor.

Weiss and Ruby though beds though, were attached in a slightly more… inventive way.

"Is that your bed held up by ropes?" Harry asked blandly as he looked at their bed.

"Yeah, isn't it awesome?!" Ruby replied with a big grin on her face.

Harry blinked again before looking at Weiss, who flushed in embarrassment when she saw Harry's disbelieving gaze.

"I sounded like a good idea… at the time." Weiss replied looking away from Harry as the pink in her cheeks darkened.

"Come on, it is a great idea!" Ruby cheered,

Only for Nora to suddenly appear next to the girl, one of her arms wrapping around Ruby as the girl cheered. "Yes it is amazing, I mean I always wanted bunk beds, and now we have them, with me and Ren sharing a bed. Well you know not sharing a bed like that, just sharing a bunk bed, not that I wouldn't want to share a bed though…"

Blinking slightly as Nora continued to rant, Harry now completely forgotten as Nora just began talking/arguing with herself.

"Bunk beds are good." Ren said simply, even as he looked at Nora with a slight smile.

"Right then our room is sorted, now for our next mission we have..." Ruby shouted eagerly she jumped up into the air, before landing on her feet and slumping over slightly, "Classes."

Looking at his wrist watch Harry had to hold back a slight chuckle as he saw the time, well you might need to hurry then, I mean they start at nine…"

"We've got plenty of time!" Ruby replied waving away Harry's statement as she did so.

Only for Weiss to gasp as she stared at Harry, her blue eyes widening bulging slightly as she asked "Did you say nine?"

"Yep!" Harry replied popping the 'P' as he did so.

"Ruby you dolt! It's 8:55! It's almost time for class!" Weiss shouted as she ran for the door dragging Ruby behind her by the hood as she did so. Ren hurrying along after her, Nora running after him with a grin on her face and a loud "Whoop!"

( - )

Stepping out into the corridor with a slight smile on his face as he saw Ruby and her team sprint away heading for class, Harry soon found his attention diverted by the appearance of Pyrrha's, Blake's and Yang's heads as they appeared around the door to their room.

"What were you doing in my sister's room?" Yang asked as she turned her attention away from the backs of Ruby and her team and instead onto Harry.

"Just checking out her bed." Harry replied with a slight smirk.

"What!" Yang shouted her eyes flashing red.

"What, I was just looking at the bunk beds they had made in order to save space…" Harry replied innocently, but not before sending a slight grin at Yang.

"Dick." Yang muttered even as her own lips quirked up in a slight smile.

"Bunk beds, maybe we should do that, I mean with the amount of things we have already unpacked the room is already getting a bit crowded." Pyrrha spoke up a thoughtful look on her face.

"Nah… we don't need to do that, I will just expand the room and give us more space!" Harry said waving off Pyrrha's suggestion.

"You can do that?" The red haired girl asked with a look of both shock and surprise on her face.

At the same time that their leader said that Blake bluntly spoke out herself. "That's impossible."

Instead of being offended Harry just sent the black haired girl a smirk before replying. "Nothing is impossible Blake, especially if you have a Semblance hat let's you manipulate reality."

Blake gaped at that. Yang however just shook her head. "Well that is some bullshit overpowered crap, no wonder you beat me when we had our fight."

"Not really, it is overpowered in terms of its versatility, but it needs my unique aura to wield it, and I don't have unlimited aura so it does have its drawbacks." Harry commented, neglecting to mention that his own 'Aura' reserves were much greater than the average Hunter.

"Whatever," Yang said, though she did look slightly more appeased after hearing that Harry was not unbeatable, which meant there was a chance that she could beat him in their next fight. "So why were Ruby and her team running?"

"Ohh that's because they were late for class." Harry said calmly.

"But we are in the same classes…" Blake pointed out her eyes widening as she realised that they were going to be late for classes.

"Dammit Harry you should have said sooner!" Pyrrha said before she turned to her team, "Come on team we are going to have to run all the way if we want to get there on time!"

"Or we could just take a shortcut." Harry said, and then before anyone else could comment he grabbed all three girls before apparating away with a loud crack.

( - )

Harry and his team arrived at the classroom door just as the bell for classes rang, not that they were immediately ready for class though as two of the girls were now hunched over on the ground. Blake had gone pale white and looked like she was fighting off the need to hurl, a faint greenish tinge on her face as she did so. Pyrrha however having gone through this before was not quite as bad, though she did dry heave twice before she straightened up and glared at Harry.

"All of my hate…" She muttered at him.

"Sorry Pyrrha I kind of forgot you didn't like that!" Harry said with a laugh. "I promise I will make it up to you.

"You better." She replied as she soothingly rubbed Blake's back, the dark haired girl looking a lot better as she began to adjust to her bearings again.

"Never again." Blake said as her amber eyes focused dangerously on Harry.

Putting his hands up Harry gave her a nod. "I promise, never again, or at least not without your permission."

Hearing that Blake nodded before she and Pyrrha began to make their way into the classroom. Pyrrha making sure to stamp on Harry's foot with her heel as she walked past him, an act that both of them knew wouldn't really hurt him due to his aura.

"Mean." Harry called to Pyrrha's back only for the red haired girl to looked back at him and give him a cheeky smile.

Turning back to the last member of the group and expecting to see a similar reaction from her Harry instead found himself surprised by the grin Yang sent his way.

"Damn! That was awesome, can we do it again!" Yang said excitedly, the thrill seeking girl having somehow enjoyed the experience of apparating.

"Ermm yeah sure…" A confused Harry said with a shrug.

"Damn me and you need to hang about more often if you can do stuff like this, I mean you can fly, teleport, what other cool stuff can you do!" Yang replied still excited so much so that she didn't even notice she missed a chance to make a pun.

Walking past him as she went into the classroom, she casually trailed her fingers along his chest, sending him a smile and a wink as she did so. "Me and you big bro, we are going to be doing some crazy things"

Harry blinked at that as he looked at his adopted sister's back, blinking slightly in confusion, so much so that he did not notice her sashaying her hips as she walked. "That was not the reaction I was expecting…"

Before he could think anymore on it though, he was distracted by the arrival of Ruby, Weiss, Ren and Nora, all of them looking out of breath as they ran towards the classroom. Upon arriving they stopped as Weiss stared at Harry in shock. "How did you get here before us!"

"Because I am awesome Ice Princess, because I am awesome…" Harry replied automatically as he still looked off in the direction Yang headed.

( - )

(Half an Hour Later)

"Monsters! Demons… Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha ha!" A smartly dressed old man said in a loud boisterous voice as he lectured his first years on the topic of the class. This of course was the study of the biology, physiology, psychology and history of Grimm, which was shortened into just Grimm Studies. The teacher of this class was Professor Port, a corpulent grey haired old man, with a large walrus mustache, and the personality of a braggart. Currently he was strolling around his classroom talking about his many feats and deeds; completely ignoring as he did so the bored looks the class were giving him, as they focused more on the detailed diagrams of Grimm pinned to the board behind him, than on his lecture, which was less about the study of Grimm and more a just biography of Peter Port.

Harry and his team were currently sat on one of the rows at the back of the class, the row having chosen by Harry as the 'most comfortable and quiet one', something that confused the rest of his team, or at least it did until Port began his lecture. A year of experiencing Port's lessons had taught Harry enough to know that you were more likely to learn things from reading the textbooks than listening to Port's lectures.

Looking around Harry was able to see that Blake was currently reading one of her novels, trying to be subtle as she did so by slipping the small book in front of a bigger text book. Yang was playing on her school, playing some fighting game by the looks of it. Pyrrha however after trying to pay attention had instead settled down next to Harry, and was now drawing up notes on potential team strategies; using the small amount of knowledge she had of the others capabilities to create some quite interesting plans. Plans that Harry endeavored to help her with in compensation for apparating her to class, using his own knowledge of his own abilities, Yang's abilities and what little he had seen of Blake's to help Pyrrha construct new strategies. Using some ideas from the strategies he had created for his old team to help Pyrrha out, after all although he was no longer the team leader, he wasn't going to do nothing; instead he was going to help Pyrrha become the best that she can be, like any other friend would.

The teams attention was soon drawn back to Port when the man let out a startled exclamation as he realised he had been talking about himself again. Something he did regularly as he got so into talking about his own anecdotes that he kind of forgot he was teaching a lesson.

"Uhhhh… And you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy! Now, as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses…" Port trails off as he looked aside to wink at Yang, who groans at the gesture. "Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves! From what, you ask? Why, the very world!"

"Hell yeah!" A student in front of Harry shouted, pumping his fist into the air as he did so. His exclamation got the attention as the entire class including Port looked at him, which led to the student quickly easing back into his seat in embarrassment.

"That is what you are training to become. But first: A story. A tale of a young, handsome man… Me! When I was a boy…" Professor Port then trailed off to tell his story. Harry rolling his eyes as he turned back to Pyrrha, pointing out as he did so that he was capable of making himself and others invisible, but that to do so the person would need to stop covering their bodies in aura, otherwise the 'spell' wouldn't take hold properly.

"… Despite smelling of cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man. 'Peter', he told me…"

Harry was very tempted to put up a silencing ward when he heard that, wards may not be his specialty but they were damn useful, more against humans than Grimm though as the Grimm's magical resistance allowed them to break through most wards, the magic not being able to effect their senses or brains as their entire bodies were shrouded in that magical resistant black smoke. Something which protected them from the passive effects of magic mainly, not so much

"Ah-heh-hem!" Professor Port coughed loudly getting the rest of the classes attention yet again at his exclamation. With even Blake and Yang looking up from their activities to see what he was going o say next.

"In the end of course, the Beowulf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high, celebrated as a hero!" Professor Port took a bow as he ended his story.

Getting a slight smattering of applause as did so, from some of the more aware students, who picked up on his slight pause at the end of his story and the expectant look on his face.

"The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable!" The professor continued loudly, as he looked around at the class, his eyes locking on Harry, and a slight hint of sadness and sympathy crossing his eyes as he did so. "A true Huntsman must be dependable. A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise. A true Huntsman should be willing to put their lives on the line for the people they have sworn to protect!"

Here his eyes remained on Harry for just a moment, his expression turning to one of immense respect as he spoke that last line.

"So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?" Professor Port finished as he took his eyes off of Harry and instead looked at the room a challenging expression on his face, as if daring any of the first years to say that they embodied these traits.

'As if anyone is truly arrogant enough to think they embody these traits, no one can say they have, not until they have faced the unending hordes of Grimm on the battle field, and faced down imminent death itself. And even then it would be foolish for a first year to think they were that perfect.' Harry though bitterly as he looked around the class, Knowing as he did so that his team embodied all of those traits, well all of them but Harry, after all his team depended on him to keep them alive and yet he let them down, if he had any honour as a Hunter he would have died with them. But somehow despite charging into the thick of the fight and certain death, he had emerged alive, something that haunted him to this very day.

"I do, sir!"

Upon hearing those words Harry's attention instantly snapped to the speaker, Weiss Schnee, a slight snarl of disgust on his lips, before he used his Occulmency to clamp down on his sudden anger at the Schnee's audacity.

Professor Port upon seeing one hand raised, let out a slight sigh, there was one every year, a first year student who thought they were better than they were.

"Well then, let's find out!" Professor Port acknowledged Weiss, before he gestured to a shadowed cage in the corner, one which had a pair of red eyes. "Prepare yourself and then face your opponent!" The cage rattled as a growl escaped from within.

It didn't take Weiss long to change and grab her weapon, a silver rapier with a chamber of dust cartridges. Holding her blade in front of her body, Weiss took a breath and focused on the Grimm. The cage once again rattled slightly, but this didn't bother the girl, firm as she was in the belief that she was an ideal huntress. As she prepared herself she heard her team shouting support to her.

"Go Weiss!" Nora shouted shaking her fist as she did so. "Break its legs!"

"Fight well." Ren said even as he kept an eye on the enthusiastically waving Nora.

Ruby was the most excited of the team though as she jumped to her feet, slamming her hands on her desk as she shouted her support for Weiss, "Yeah go Weiss, represent Team RWRN!"

That last one seemed to set Weiss' temper as she glared at her leader, it seemed all was not right in Team RWRN.

"Stop distracting me Ruby!" Weiss snapped at Ruby, not that the girl seemed to notice Weiss's irritation. Neither did Nora as the both of them continued to shout out their support.

Ignoring the two girls Weiss focused back on the Professor and the Grimm cage. Port had the old weapon that had been mounted on the wall in his hand now, the blunderbuss with twin axe blades, held ready just in case.

Sucking in a breath to steady her breathing, Weiss nodded slightly. Port nodded back, an encouraging smile on his face. The upcoming fight might be in a controlled setting, but something could always go wrong. Which was why he had his weapon in hand, just in case he needed to intervene.

"Alright...let the exhibition fight...begin!" Port shouted as he unlocked the cage and released the beast.

As the cage opened a snarling Boarbatusk burst out of the cage in a blur, as it rushed at the teen. Weiss face tightened as the Grimm charged her.

Lunging her sword Myrtenaster at the Grimm, the Schnee heiress was forced to roll out of the way, as her weapon merely bounced off its tough armor, unable to pierce the thick bone. Turning back around she was just in time to see the Grimm wheel around to face her again.

"Hang in there Weiss!" Ruby shouted, waving her fist as she did so.

Darting forward again, Weiss intercepted the Boarbatusk mid-charge, her sword already raised to jab at the beast. But yet again Weiss' weapon impacted on the Grimm's skull and promptly bounced off and got caught in the tusk that gave the monster its name. The Grimm punched its skull forward, sending Weiss into the air. Grunting in pain, the girl came back down, and attempted to pull her weapon free.

But it was jammed in the creature's tusk, and the Boarbatusk was not letting go.

"Come on Weiss, you can do this!" Ruby shouted her encouragement once again, Nora letting out a whoop behind her.

Turning her head to glare at the annoying girl, Weiss was sent flying the air as the Grimm tore its head away from her. Her weapon flying out of her hand, before it rolled along the floor, now out of her reach. Rolling to her knees, the heiress grimaced as she realized she was defenseless now, beyond her Aura.

"Oh ho! What will you do now, without your weapon?" Port said his weapon raised just in case he needed to intervene.

"Weiss! Aim for its belly, there's no armour there!" Ruby shouted, trying to help her teammate whether she needed it or not.

Finally snapping, Weiss turned to the younger girl, her glare turning so frigid it caused those who saw it to shiver slightly. "Stop telling me what to do!"

Ignoring the hurt expression on Ruby's face, Weiss instead turned her attention onto the blood thirsty Grimm in front of her. As the Grimm reached her, Weiss focused her power and formed two glyphs. The first was a shield, that the Boarbatusk promptly bounced off and which caused it to fall to the ground.

As that happened, Weiss lunged for her sword, before she jumped up towards the second glyph she formed, before she used it to shoot herself down on the vulnerable belly of the Grimm. Myrtenaster spearing through the creatures slightly thinner skin on its belly, the strike killing it instantly and the boar like Grimm dissolving into black smoke, even as Weiss let out a tired gasp, the fight having taken more out of her than she had thought.

"Bravo! Bravo! It is clear we are in the presence of a true huntress... in training!" Port said, happy that she had succeeded, but still reminding her that she was in training. "Unfortunately, that is all the time we have for today. Be sure to study the assigned readings, and remember...stay vigilant!"

The moment the Professor finished talking, Weiss sheathed her blade on her hip as stormed out of the room.

The joy of her victory subsiding, even as the rest of the frustration she had been feeling returned full force. What did it matter if she had won? It shouldn't have pushed her so hard or taken so much time. It wall because Ruby kept distracting her!

"Weiss!" The white haired girl heard as she stormed out of the room.

Sighing out of frustration, the girl turned her head. Unsurprisingly, it was Ruby, who was following her, the girl looking more than a little put out. Probably still upset about how Weiss had snapped at her.

"What?" She said her voice still cold.

Ruby once again looked taken a back at the anger in her partner's tone when she spoke to her, "What's wrong with you...why were you being so me..."

Temper fraying once more, Weiss didn't bother to keep any annoyance out of her voice anymore.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? You're supposed to be a leader! But you've just been a nuisance!"

"What did I do?" Ruby said genuinely not understanding what the problem was, which just annoyed Weiss more.

Scoffing lightly, the heiress laid into her team leader, "That's just it! You've done nothing to deserve your position. In the forest, you acted like a child! And you've continued to do so. If it wasn't for Harry and the others you would have gotten yourself killed!"

"Weiss...where is this coming from?" Ruby's voice said her voice quiet as she started becoming more upset, "What happened to all that talk about teamwork? Working together? I thought you wanted to work together as a team?"

"Not a team lead by you," That stopped Ruby dead as Weiss ploughed on with her cruel word, oblivious to the proximity of Harry and Yang who were stood around the corner. The two of them having been waiting to talk to Ruby, if only because Yang wanted to explain her relation to Harry to her sister, with Harry just being there because Yang made him. "I've trained and studied, and frankly, I deserve better."

"Well that's bollocks," Harry spoke up as he made himself known, a fiercely scowling Yang walking behind him.

Flinching slightly as she heard the voice Weiss turned around to see Harry Branwen and Yang behind her, the girl paling slightly as she saw the anger in Yang's face.

"What are you saying, I am just giving her my opinion!" Weiss said, as she saw the anger in Yang's eyes and the look of disinterest on Harry's face.

"Well I am giving you my opinion, you are a snobby, stuck up bitch, and you need to grow up!" Yang said fiercely, her tone taking Weiss aback. The white-haired girl instantly freezing up at that before with a huff and a glare, she turned on her heel and stormed away.

"Well that could have gone better." Harry commented, as he saw the anger still on Yang's face. Turning to Ruby he saw she still looked upset, so to did Yang as she saw the expression on her sister's face. Before she could say anything though, Ruby let out a slight sniffle, before she disappeared from sight, leaving a trail of rose petals behind her as she did so.

"Tell me about it." Yang replied with a sigh. Surprised that Ruby didn't come to her when she was upset like she usually did.

Harry didn't say anything more, knowing that sometimes teams need to just adjust to each other. After all very few people a just naturally compatible.

AN: So yeah I hope you all enjoyed it. I know it was a bit canonish, but some of these scenes are important to the development of the RWBY characters. But I like to think I have put my own spin on it, and shown that ruby is slowly becoming more independent.

In terms of magic just in case people are confused, Harry grew up thinking his magic is aura and so due to the adaptive and chaotic nature of magic, it started to act in a similar manner to aura. It will be explained more, as more of Harry's abilities are revealed and the aspects of his 'Semblance' i.e. his magical abilities.

There will be more development of Harry's team next chapter, and team coffee will make an appearance.

Also of note is that I have decided on a pairing, and it may be a surprise to some. I will tell you if you guess right and want to know. Mainly because I don't want to ruin it for people who don't want to know.

So anyway yeah as always I hope you leave a comment or review.

Also feel free to PM me if you are confused about something, have suggestions, or anything like that go for it.

See you all next time.

Seagate.
