"But of course" - Speaking

'How about that?' Thinking to myself

[Why not?] - ONI

-LINE BREAK-

I could feel myself waking up, my body stirring back into reality. A small hand was shaking my body, trying to get me to wake up faster. I open my eyes to see that girl from the shop, but without her scythe in hand. She had silver looking eyes, and her hair was black with red trim around it. She was staring at me for what seemed like a whole minute, until a loud tapping noise was heard from across the room.

It was the blonde woman from the night as well, at least that is what I can remember. I could even make out ONI floating cautiously behind her, still using the cloaking tech. The woman had one of the worst scowls on her face, clearly showing her distrust toward me.

"Thank you Miss Rose, for waking up our guest." she says, walking to the other side of the table.

"Now, what you two did that night was seriously irresponsible," the woman then directs her glare to me. "Especially you there, young man."

She began to pace back and forth around the room. "Yes, you may have save Miss Rose's life from the dust crystal explosion, but you put yourself at great risk young man. If anything, that blast should have killed you."

I then turn my head away from her gaze, so that she could hear me mutter "Wouldn't be the first."

She then slapped a riding crop that she pulled out from who knows where onto the table in front of me, reacquiring my attention. "How do you think Miss Rose would have felt if a complete stranger had taken his life to save hers?!" she yelled out at us, but more focused at me.

"From what I think" she continued on. "You should be sent home," she walked back to the opposite side of the table from us. "With a pat on the back," The girl, Miss Rose, beamed a little bit after hearing this. However, a second after she spoke, the woman glared back at the Rose. "And a slap on the wrist!" Rose then flinched, due to the fact that the blonde smacked the table near her hand with the riding crop.

"However, there is someone here who would… like to speak with you two" and with that, she stepped out of the way for a man to walk toward the table, a plate of… cookies in his hand? As well as a cup within his other hand. He put the plate in front of Miss Rose, to which she cautiously reached out to grab one cookie, and when she deemed them safe, she began to devour the entire plate.

While she was making a slight fool of herself, I was having a mental chat with ONI.

'ONI, I need to make sure I have a profile on this planet' I ask ONI over my mental link. A few seconds later I can hear his response.

[...Where could you have lived for the last few years? I'm almost done, it wasn't that hard.] ONI reports back to me.

'Just say I lived on the outskirts of the city or something. Make it simple.' I report back to him. Only a few seconds later, I feel ONI's presence back within the confines of my head. [...And done. I think I did a pretty good job for myself.] ONI exclaims, feeling proud for himself.

'I'm sure you did a great job. Let us see if it worked' I tell ONI, my attention focused back on the man in front of me. The man that brought the plate of cookies was dressed in black and green attire, and wore a pair of black spectacles. His hair was a silver color, but the man did not look old enough to have grey hair.

But of course, what do I know about on this planet. People walked around with animal appendages.

The man finally spoke up. "Ruby Rose... " he looked at the girl to my right, Ruby as I now know, as he spoke. "...You have silver eyes."

Ruby looked at the man quizzically. "Umm… ok?"

The man then looked at me "I do not believe I know who you-"

The blonde soon interrupted him, and showed him something on her tablet. My guess is it was my identity, since that is what he was about to ask about. The man then smiled, then looked back at me.

"So… Dimitri Prevchanko is it?" I merely shake my head at this statement. The man silently chuckles in his chair. "That is quite the mouthful of a last name, may I just call you Dimitri?"

"Of course you can…"

"Ozpin. Headmaster Ozpin, of you could." The man says with a slight smirk.

I look up at him to this statement. "Headmaster?" I ask, but at that moment the blonde woman decides to cut in.

"Yes, Headmaster Ozpin of Beacon Academy. School for huntsman and huntresses alike. A school that-" "Please Glynda, that is all he needs to know. I can tell he is a man that will find the information he needs." Ozpin had cut off the woman, Glynda, from talking about his school more.

"Now, a question to ask the both of you." Ozpin then took the tablet out of the woman's hands, showing the fight from the night previous, but I was mostly out of the frame. I watched the fight take place from a separate point of view, until all of the henchmen were taken out, when I stepped forward with my Baron's Ambition, aiming at the bowler-hatted man.

[Baron's Ambition… it wasn't on when they saved you!] ONI exclaims in my head [Don't question it please, I don't want to explain it tonight…because I know I'll be the one explaining...]

'I'll bluff for you, don't worry about it ONI.' I tell my ghost, as we get to the end of the the video, where I push the girl out of the way of the blast, sending me to the edge of the roof. Ozpin then returns the tablet to Glynda. "Where did you learn how to engage into combat so proficiently as this?" Ozpin asked us.

Ruby spoke out "I've been going to Signal…".

Ozpin then starts to think "Because, the only other person I've ever seen wield a weapon of that magnitude… Was a… Dusty old crow…"

Ruby piped up again "Oh! That's my Uncle Qrow!" she chuckled for a second, then continued. "I used to be complete garbage until he took me under his wing! Now I'm all like Huwhaa-" I covered her mouth with my hand, my head still hurting from the fight.

"Please Ruby, if you could refrain from that, my head is still hurting from the fight. You know, the part where I exploded" I told her, so when I released my hand, she sunk into her seat.

"Now I must ask you the same question Dimitri…" Ozpin started, but I cut him off.

"I learned out in the wild, where either you life to fight, or die trying." I simply state, looking the man directly in the eye.

"And it appears you survived quite well. Last question, for the both of you." Ozpin asks, "How would you like to join my school?"

Ruby then gets out of her bad mood after hearing this news "More than you know…"

I simply look at the man, then shake my head. "Sure, why not? It'll give me somewhere to sleep."

The man looked back at me, and chuckled slightly. "You have no idea… follow me." We both stood up, pushed our chairs in, and walked out the door that Ozpin walked in from.

No Ozpin, I believe you don't know who you're talking too.

…

I believe you have no idea.
