Previously on The Traversing Gamer...
"What do you think you're doing shaking a vial of Dust like a baby's rattle!?"
"W-who do you think you are!? Do you know who I am?" Weiss says, a little bit more than outraged.
"Well, I do know you're acting like a snobby little princess" I reply, causing her to splutter in rage.
"It's heiress, actually" Ah, there's Blake now with a vial of Schnee Dust in her hand. "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world" Blake says making Weiss smile smugly
"Finally, some recognition!"
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." Blake finishes making Ruby and I chuckle while Weiss becomes enraged again.
"Wha- How dare you- The nerve of... Ugh!" Weiss goes up in Blake's face and takes the vial from her and doing the same to me before huffing and walking away with her servants carrying her luggage following immediately.
"I promise I'll make this up to you!" Ruby shouts to the retreating form of Weiss "I guess I'm not the only one having a rough first day... So, what's..." Ruby looks to Blake only to see her walking away as well making her collapse onto her back, "Welcome to Beacon..." I stood over her form, casting a shadow over her along with Jaune whom came over with me at the same time.
Jaune holds out his hand "Hey... I'm Jaune."
Ruby takes Jaune's hand "Ruby" standing up. "Aren't you that guy who threw up on the ship?" I snicker at that and Jaune's downtrodden face and finally introduce myself.
"I'm Michael, although you may know me as Archangel." I unleash my wings making them stare in awe at it.
Now...
"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on!" Jaune tells us.
I slightly chuckle and Ruby laughs "Look, I'm sorry! Vomit Boy was the first thing that came to mind"
"I'll never live that down, will I?" I laugh and throw an arm around Jaune,
"Nope!" I smile cheekily at him, making him slightly more depressed.
"Well, the name's Jaune Arc! Short, sweet, and rolls off the tongue - ladies love it!"
"Do they?" Ruby asks, a bit skeptical.
"They will! Well, I-I hope they will. My mom always says that... Never mind"
A short awkward silence befalls us as we walk on the pathway.
"So..." Leave it to Ruby to break the ice. "I got this thing!" Aannd... she whips out Crescent Rose, I probably should've expected this, or remembered it at the very least, oh well.
"Whoa! Is that a scythe?" Jaune looks at Crescent Rose in awe as we stop in the middle of the pathway)
"It's also a customizable, high-impact sniper rifle!" Ruby adds in.
"A-Wha...?" Jaune asks, confused at her words.
"It's also a gun, Jaune." I tell him cutting off Ruby just as she cocked the weapon, making her pout at me.
"Oh, that's cool." Jaune said.
"What about you Jaune?" Ruby asks him.
"Oh! I, uh..." Jaune unsheathes a sword "I got this sword."
"Oooohh!" Ruby marvels at it
"Yeah, and I've got a shield, too!" Jaune raises his arm, and by extension, the scabbard of his sword before it extends into a shield on his arm.
"What do they do?" Ruby asks as she touches the shield.
Jaune fumbles around with the shield before retracting it for good and putting it back on his belt. "The shield also gets smaller, so when I get tired of carrying it, I can just... put it away..."
"But... wouldn't it weigh the same?" Ruby asks him.
"Yeah, it does..." Jaune says dejectedly.
"Hey now Ruby, I think what Jaune means to say is that he can put it away the shield when he isn't in combat so that it doesn't constantly weight down his arm everywhere he goes and tire him at the same time, so he puts it on his hip to lessen the weight on his arm. The more simple the weapon, the less weapon maintenance you have to do for complicated weapons. Cause of Jaune's simple weapon choice, people will most likely underestimate him letting him take the advantage." I say, giving Jaune a pat on the back with Jaune giving me a grateful smile as I used [Observe] on his sword.
[Crocea Mors]
Rank: B+
Durability: 450,000/450,000
Grade: Unique
Description: Crocea Mors is the family heirloom of the Arc family and has seen battle dating as far back as the Great War. This weapon is nigh indestructible, or so they say, as it has been tested against many weapons on and off the battlefield but never breaking and something breaking the other weapon as well. Crocea Mors has been passed down from generation to generation of Arcs' and continues to do so this very day.
Effects:
+Invulnerability(To all B+ rank and below)
+500 Physical Damage
+250 Armor Piercing Damage
+Arc Last Stand (Accessible only to those of the Arc bloodline, capable of unleashing the past Arc wielders of Crocea Mors to fight by your side in a moment of desperation)
My eyes widened at the quality of the blade, in the hands of Jaune Arc no less, simple my ass!
"Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons, sooo... I guess I did go overboard with designing it." Ruby giggled, examining Crescent Rose.
"Wait- You made that!?" Jaune exclaims, surprised.
"Of course! All students at Signal forge their own weapons! Didn't you make yours?" Ruby said, curious.
"It's a hand-me-down. My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war." Jaune replies.
"Sounds more like a family heirloom to me!" Ruby laughs "Well, I like it! Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days"
"I agree with Ruby, a family heirloom has countless stories of your predecessors and has seen battle, much like you will in Beacon," I approved. "Besides, don't you want to tell your future children how you used your blade as a means to protect the innocent as a Hunter?"
"Y-yeah, the classics" Jaune says, a bit flustered at our comments, and sheathes his sword.
"What about you Michael?" Ruby asks me.
"Oh, me? I have this," I show her both my weapons "these two lovely weapons of mine are Aeroblade and Light Arrow," I smirk "and that's all you need to know." I finish, making her pout at me and we once again fell in silence.
"So, why did you help me out in the courtyard back there?" Ruby asks Jaune, continuing our walk again.
Jaune walks alongside her "Eh, why not? My mom always says, 'Strangers are friends you just haven't met yet.'"
"Do you guys know where we're supposed to meet for orientation?" I ask, making both stop in their tracks to look at each other, then back at me.
Jaune fires off "Oh, I don't know! I was following Ruby! Y-you think there might be a directory? Maybe a food court? Some kind of recognizable landmark? Is- uh... Is that a no?" I sigh.
I used [Summon] and called upon one of my men to guide us and, a man in black BDU's with a heavy tan flak vest and kneepads with his face completely covered with a black balaclava, save for his eyes, and a combat helmet with goggles strapped to it along with my symbol on the back of his flak vest, appeared before us in a flash of light (AN: Think of Shadow Company from MW2), startling Ruby and Jaune.
(Summon) [Active] Level 9 EXP 96 MP Cost: 1000 per summon
Description: You summon your own warriors to fight alongside you, any defeated enemies or personally designed warriors will be summoned to aid you. Can currently summon 4 allied forces. Level up skill to decrease MP cost and increase summons.
"You have summoned me, your orders sir?" The PMC asks me as he draws out a G36C and scans the area.
"Yeah, yeah, look for a large amount of heat signatures converging on one area and point us in that direction." I tell him, completely disregarding his professional tone and caution and Ruby and Jaune's looks of astonishment.
The PMC brings out a small device with a antenna on it and activates it causing it to let out a beeping sound as it scans the area with the PMC moving around in a circle, until he point in one direction.
"That way sir, a large amount of heat signatures are converging in that direction." He tells us and I thank him and dispel him.
I look back towards Jaune and Ruby who had looks of astonishment on their faces before I snapped my fingers in front of them, knocking them out of it.
"Hellooo? Are we going to go now?" I ask them as I start walking towards orientation as they start rushing to catch up with me.
"Was that your semblance?" Ruby asks with excitement.
"Sorry, but not telling, although I can tell you that was one of my men, designed after a PMC that was in a game back from where I came from.." I reply, causing Ruby to puff out her cheeks, cross her arms, and look away, which was quite adorable might I add.
(At the Orientation)
Ruby, Jaune, and I walk into the massive auditorium and hear Yang call out.
"Oh, hey Ruby! Over here! I saved you a spot!" She waves Ruby over.
"Hey, I gotta go!" Ruby said "I'll see you after the ceremony!"
"H-hey, wait!" Jaune tries to stop her, but Ruby had already rushed off to her sister. "Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?" I spot Pyrrha behind him looking at Jaune and I curiously, just as Jaune walked up to me.
"Guess it's just you and me now," I stare blankly at him, before turning the opposite direction and began walking away from Jaune, throwing the peace sign behind me.
"Not you too, Michael!" Jaune yells out to me making me have a small smile.
Not too soon after, I see Weiss giving a verbal smack down to Ruby with me watching Ruby jump into her sister's arms and with her trying make amends between Weiss and Ruby with her mentioning Jaune as 'tall, blonde, and scraggly' which he seemed to hear.
Not too soon after, Ozpin showed up onstage, with me ignoring his speech.
(Later, at night)
After Ozpin's speech, I went over stock in my inventory as to what to give teams RWBY and JNPR to make some individuals stronger while also having it to my advantage with them as my allies, and better yet, friends.
After I finished changing into nightwear, not that I needed sleep but had to as to not arouse suspicion, I walked back to the auditorium only wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a pair of headphones at my neck connected with the pocket of my sweatpants.
I soon walked in, opening the doors into the auditorium making those who were in conversations to go silent as they took in my form. I'm pretty sure I heard Yang give a purr when she saw me. As I walked down the aisles of sleeping bags, huntresses-in-training blushed at looking at my sculpted body and face whilst the men had covered their forms, out of envy or embarrassment I wasn't sure, and soon found myself an open spot next to Blake Belladonna.
"Is this spot taken?" I ask Blake who looks up at me and gives a light blush at seeing my sculpted body before replying,
"No, it's yours to take" I nodded and went about setting up my sleeping bag.
I put up my headphones and started listening to 'From the Fields of Gallia - by Antti Markikainen' and began rolling out my bedroll with me positioning myself so that I was up against the wall with my legs inside the the sleeping bag, leaving my upper body visible as I crossed my arms and closed my eyes.
Although, I'm pretty sure Yang and Ruby came over and tried to start a conversation with Blake, emphasis on 'tried', then Weiss got involved and I cracked an eye open to see them and I could even hear them slightly yelling through my headphones!
I sigh and get up along with taking off my headphones.
"-ealize some of us are trying to sleep!" Weiss yells at Ruby and Yang who stopped in mid-fight with Ruby holding up Yang's leg.
"You're not making it any better Ice Queen, now please, can we all just go to bed? We'll need all the rest we can get for initiation tomorrow." I try and settle them down peacefully, activating [Angelic Presence] at the same time.
(Angelic Presence) [Active] Level: MAX MP Cost: 0
Description: Your presence alone soothes those of negative emotions, bringing a peaceful state of mind to those affected and harms or pacify unholy beings.
+50 AOE Holy Damage for every 5 seconds and 50 meter radius.
+Negates all negative effects within a 25 meter radius.
Weiss blushes in embarrassment as she does realize that they were causing an even bigger commotion when she came along, with Ruby and Yang doing the same after feeling a calming presence befall them.
"Now that we're all done here, can you all please go to sleep?" I ask them kindly.
Weiss huffs and walks away, Yang winks at me until Ruby drags her away, leaving me with Blake who just rose an eyebrow at me before blowing out the candle when I got back into my bedroll with my headphones back on.
(Next Morning)
You have slept on a somewhat comfortable surface in a comfortable bedroll and sleeping bag!
85% of all HP, MP, and AP has been restored, all negative status effects have been cured!
I woke up a bit earlier than what was considered normal for the others students, since sleep was an optional thing to me, and went for cliff where initiation was taking place but not before going into a bathroom stall to switch out to my [Formal Hunter] set.
As I was on my way to the cliff, I had encountered Ozpin.
"Ah, Headmaster Ozpin! Good morning!" I greet him jovially.
"Mr. Nobles, good morning to you as well, I was actually hoping to find you before initiation was to take place"
"Why's that Headmaster?" I ask him, a bit curious.
"Due to an uneven amount of students this year, you'll be placed as an extra 5th member on a team or as a solo hunter, in light of this event you may choose the team you wish to join after initiation once the teams are announced if you wish to do so, because of this you cannot have a partner as well. However, this does not mean you'll be left out of initiation, your objective is to assist the students in their return trip, which ones though, are up to you." Ozpin said.
"Got it sir." I reply back to him as he starts walking away with mug and cane in hand.
As I continued my journey to the cliff, I decided to browse [Gamer's Auction] and put a few things on the wish list so I can properly prepare for the events in Volume 3.
Gamer's Auction Wish List:
[UNSC Phoenix Class Assault Ship + Complement of 11,000 Crew and Marines:] 1x = $350,000
[UNSC Frigate Shipyards:] 3x = $150,000
[UNSC Capital Shipyard:] 1x = $250,000
[Titanium-A Materials:] 100,000x = $500,000
[Planetary Terraformer:] 1x = $1,000,000
[Randomly Generated Personnel:] 250,000x = $500,000
Total Costs: $2,750,000
While I did expect it to be far more expensive than I originally thought, it's still going to put a dent in my funds. Although, I guess it's cheap considering the other countless types of ships, materials, and weapons from other universes that could absolutely annihilate the Halo ones. I plan on using them to build a base on one of the planets in Remnant's system and turn it into a fortress world from the ground up. I was broken out of my thoughts as Pyrrha bumped into me, making me stagger, but I couldn't say the same for her as she fell back.
"Ah! Sorry about that, I wasn't paying attention, that was completely my fault." I say to her as I gave her a hand.
"Well, you should have! Don't you know who this is?" A snobby voice to my left says, whom I could easily identify as Weiss long before looking at her.
"You mean Pyrrha Nikos, celebrity, champion, and all that stuff?" Making Weiss nod and point her nose up in the air along with Pyrrha looking a bit crestfallen, but hid it well.
"Well, frankly, I don't care about any of that, we're training to become Hunters and the Grimm won't care about titles, prestige, or any of that when we fight them so what's the point to them other than entertainment? Cause, I don't see one and Pyrrha is just another fellow student in my eyes." I said, causing Pyrrha to look hopeful at my words and Weiss to splutter a bit in indignity before I walked off without waiting for them to say anything and finally reached the cliff.
I ponder about future events before I'm broken out of my musings as I see the first wave of students making their way over to the cliff with the rest soon following them, and when we were all positioned on a launchpad Ozpin started to speak.
"For years, you have trained to become warriors." Ozpin said, looking at each of us. "And today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest" Then, Glynda took over for him.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams." Glynda said "Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... Today"
I hear Ruby's whimper and 'What?' and laugh silently at her anguish before Ozpin started speaking again.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well." Ruby lets out another scared noise at that.
"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next 4 years," Ruby finally broke and said 'What!?' and Nora saying 'I told you so' to Ren.
"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest." Ozpin continued, "You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die." I heard Jaune laugh nervously at that and gave a gulp.
"You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation. But our instructors will not intervene" Like hell they won't intervene, if students died here then Beacon would have been shut down long before we came in the event that a influential parent had their son or daughter die here. "You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path, containing several relics. Each pair must choose 1, and return to the top of the cliff." Ozpin finished.
"Are there any questions?" Ozpin asked.
"Yeah, um sir-" Jaune tries to say before Ozpin interrupted him.
"Good! Now, take your positions" I took out my wings and got into position just as the students slowly started getting launched one by one, with me being the last one laughing as Jaune's launched before mine letting me see his flight, it soon started making the mechanical countdown and launched me as well. In the distance ahead of me I could see Yang using Ember Cecilia as a propellent, Ruby hitting a baby Nevermore, and Jaune getting speared to a tree.
I started flapping my wings and made to look for a clearing to land in before spotting one and made for a dive making a crater with my landing, I looked up and scanned the tree line for any Grimm and after confirming that it was clear, I used [Summon] to have 4 of my PMC's be recon for me and to lead myself North to the other students with the occasional lone Ursa in the way and the PMC's unleashing hell on it with incendiary tipped bullets until we found soon-to-be teams RWBY and JNPR all gathered before the abandoned temple who were surprised at the armed men gathered around me in a loose defensive circle
"Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!" Yang said.
"Not if I can help it!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Ruby, wait!" Yang and I shouted to her as she brought out Crescent Rose and used the recoil of her scythe to charge the Deathstalker before being knocked back with its pincer.
"D-Do-Don't worry! Totally fine!" Ruby said as she staggered to her feet and turned around and fired Crescent Rose at the Deathstalker only for it to do absolutely jack to it with its armor making Ruby slowly step back before turning and running back towards us.
She started running back towards us just as the Nevermore flew up behind her and prepared to launch a volley of feathers only to get its entire head covered in a explosion with a followup to its torso, I saw two small vapor trails coming from one of the trees.
Earlier, I had ordered two of my men, both of them with a SMAW, to station themselves in a tree and take down the aerial Grimm and return to us to assist in taking down the Deathstalker and it seems I had made the right choice with the Nevermore being completely obliterated.
My two other men, Yang, and myself ran towards Ruby with the Deathstalker slowly gaining on her and I ordered both of my remaining men to each go left and right to distract the Deathstalker and draw its attention away from Ruby just as my other two men came back from the trees and I ordered them to charge down the middle to cover Ruby.
When Ruby returned to us, I charged forward whilst my men distracted it with concentrated gunfire on its multiple eyes and stinger and drew Aeroblade and slashed the air in the direction of the stinger, making it cut off completely from the rest of its body when a blade of air made contact with it, making the Deathstalker roar in pain. As the Aeroblade recharged I slashed down the middle of the Deathstalker, causing it to clash with my blade of air due to the armor of it and it was slowly piercing it until it finally cut through and went out the other end of the Deathstalker, making it fall into two and it began to slowly dissolve.
I sheathed Aeroblade as the others looked on in shock and amazement at me and my men taking out a Deathstalker and Nevermore with little effort on our parts.
"Well, are we going to return to the cliff now?" I asked with an eyebrow raised in amusement.
They snapped out of it and nodded, as those who didn't have a relic before grabbed one before we made a dash towards the cliff with them asking me questions.
"How'd you manage to do that!?" Weiss asks incredulously.
"Yeah, and who are those men with you?" Yang asked as well.
"Well Weiss, Yang, let's just chalk it up to experience and skill, and as for the men with me, they're my summons and they're a part of my semblance." I answered.
Soon after, they came at me with a barrage of questions and I answered some of them and outright refused others as I needed to keep some things secret after all, not until I've gotten to know them better later on. We reached the cliff much faster than I expected, but that's most likely due to the Q&A that was going on during our trip. We each made our way up with everyone helping one another to boost themselves up faster the cliff until we had finally reached the top with Ozpin and Glynda waiting for us.
(Later at the Ceremony)
After the formation of Team CRDL, Team JNPR came up with Ozpin announcing Jaune as team leader, surprising and shocking him until Pyrrha punched his shoulder playfully but still caused him to fall over and after them came Team RWBY.
"Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long. The four of you have retrieved the White Knight pieces." Ozpin said "From this day forward, you will work together as... Team RWBY led by Ruby Rose" This shocked Ruby and Weiss but made Yang hug Ruby in pride until it was my cue to go up.
"And finally, Michael Nobles. He is a special case as there were an uneven amount of students this year and because of his skill and experience, he has the honor of deciding whether or not he joins a team as a fifth member or as a solo hunter. Now, your choice Mr. Nobles?" Ozpin asked me.
"I choose to be the fifth member of..." I made the audience wait in suspense. "Team RWBY, Headmaster." I told him.
"Very well Mr. Nobles, due to this, Team RWBY will be given bigger accommodations to support 5 people." Ozpin said as the audience applauded and I walked down to greet my new team.
"Hey guys, I look forward to working with all of you. Shall we go to our dorms then?" I said to them getting nods of agreement.
This is going to be quite a fun year.
