Green Eclipse Chapter 7

A/N: I'm sorry it's taken so long to update, I have been busy with college work and other stuff, have an extra-long chapter to compensate! :3

Unknown POV

I shouldn't get so excited over this guy, but I can't help myself; it's been a while since someone has been able to block my attacks. The girl thinks to herself as the guy she is facing puts his hands by his sides, what is he doing?

She suddenly sees a gun appear in each hand, her eyebrows raise slightly "Well that's interesting…" she mutters under her breath.

He looks up "My name is Jake, what is your name?"

"I will tell you" she bends her legs "if you beat me!" she shouts as she starts to run towards Jake, as she is running she crosses her arms and then pulls them to her side three icy spikes coming from both of her hands like blades.

As she is coming towards him, Jake's guns turn into swords and he starts to run at her too; as they meet halfway she slices horizontally with her left hand and vertically down with her right hand.

Jake sidesteps to the right to dodge both of the slices and slashes at the girl with his left blade. She jumps back and lands a few feet from him, she then puts her arms by her side pointing the six icy spikes to the floor.

"So you would attack me with that kind of intent even though I'm a girl? What manners you have" she shakes her head disapprovingly.

Jake rubs his head with his left hand still holding the sword "Well you are a Huntress…"

She smiles slyly under her hood, the air drops in temperature and ice appears on the floor in a circle around them both. Jake looks around at the ice with a puzzled expression before turning back to look at her, he dodges the three spikes which suddenly come at him as he turns.

He slides back on the ice nearly falling over before righting himself and then looks at the girl with her left arm and icy spikes where his head just was, "You're not afraid of using underhanded tactics to beat me are you."

She smiles, genuinely this time, and puts her arm back to her side "I thought I had you" she jumps in the air and fires spikes at him from her hand which has changed back to normal.

Jake jumps from side to side to avoid the spikes slipping slightly but remaining upright, and counterattacks by putting fire dust into his right sword and sending an arc of fire at her by slashing with it.

The girl is still in the air and can't dodge so she instead puts her arms in front of her chest and face to protect them as the arc hits her sending her to the floor. Before she hits the floor she flips and lands on her feet without slipping on the ice, she flicks her hair back behind her as some of it had been in front of her face because of the impact from the arc of fire.

Jake's swords both point to the ground in front of him and she uses this chance to blur from where she is standing to appear to the left of him sending two punches at him; one to his face and the other at his chest. Jake's swords disappear from his hands and he blocks her punches with his hands, he then grabs her fists and swings her and let's go sending her sprawling down the ice.

She gets up and brushes herself off "You have an interesting fighting style" she tilts her head to one side "Entirely based off instincts and whims. And your weapons; they appear and disappear, what is up with that?"

"Thanks, I think and it's a secret" he smiles and says in answer.

The girl sighs and runs at Jake again, she sends a few punches and elbows at him; which he deflects with his arms and blocks with his fists. She sends her right leg at his head which he blocks with both of arms, a large shockwave is sent through the area dislodging some of the ice and moving it along with some small pebbles.

As he is blocking her leg, Jake happens to see her underwear; which is stripped, as her skirt has come up because of her high kick. "Nice underwear" He says with a straight face as she brings her leg back down to the floor.

She looks down at her skirt and realises that it must have come up and allow him to see them when she kicked, she blushes slightly and then shrugs "Hope you enjoyed the view."

"Not bad" Jake says in surprise thinking that she would be fazed more at the comment. He launches his own attack at her by swiping her legs from under her with his own leg and then punches her as she lies on the ground in shock.

The girl braces for the impact from his punch but instead feels a strong wind go by her face and hears a loud crunch. She opens her eyes and turns to see his fist buried in the floor; the ice missing around it and a small crater formed around them.

Jake gets up from his kneeling position and looks down at her "I think I win?"

She nods and gets up slowly, the ice disappearing from the floor and the temperature returning to normal. She looks at Jake in awe "Y-your amazing" Jake looks at with a puzzled look "I mean I thought I was powerful but you…"

Jake shakes his head "I'm not THAT good" before he can continue she interrupts him.

"You are. Only one person has defeated me when I am serious and although you didn't hurt me, that punch could've broken my aura easily" she explains.

Jake looks apologetic "Sorry about that, I put a bit more power than intended so I made it miss at the last second" he puts his hand through his hair.

"That wasn't your full power? Just some of it?" She looks at Jake in even more awe than before.

"Yeah I guess…" Jake says "Now you need to tell me your name, that was the deal, right?"

"Of course, Mizore" she smiles "My name is Mizore."

Yang's POV

Yang hears the knock on the door and answers "Yes?"

"I was wondering if it was occupied…" she hears a timid voice say.

"Well Jaune as you can see it is, I will be out soon don't worry" she replies and looks back at the bathroom mirror "Unless you want to join me?"

She hears something break and loud voices coming from the other side of the door before she hears Jaune again "N-no I will wait!"

Yang smiles wider "Oh Jaune you are so easy to tease…" she finishes doing her hair and opens the bathroom door to the mayhem happening in her and her team's room.

In the corner Neptune and Sun are eating; Sun is eating just bananas and Neptune is eating an assortment of stuff on a plate. Ruby is sitting on her bed with Pyrrha standing nearby talking to her, they both also have plate with food; Pyrrha has an assortment of food while Ruby just has cookies.

Yang looks around for Jaune and sees Weiss and Nora arguing about something while Jaune stands a few feet away looking out the window. Yang walks towards them passing Weiss and Nora who don't even notice her and stops standing behind Jaune.

She coughs causing Jaune to jump and turn around in surprise. Yang starts to laugh "Sorry" she says trying to stop laughing "Couldn't help myself."

"Oh you're out Yang" Jaune says when he sees it is Yang ignoring what just happened.

"I am, all yours big boy" she taps his shoulder as he passes and laughs at his expression, Jaune walks to the bathroom and closes the door.

Yang heads over to where Weiss and Nora arguing are and starts to hear what they are talking about.

"That was definitely your fault" Weiss says to Nora staring at her with an accusing look.

Nora bobs up and down hyperactively "No way, it was your fault!"

Weiss takes a step forward and leans towards her "You knocked it over, therefore it was your fault."

"Nuh-uh you were in the way I had no choice but to hit it" Nora sticks out her tongue.

"You had plenty of room!" Weiss says loudly pointing a finger at her.

Yang makes her presence known before it gets out of hand "Nora! Weiss!" she says cheerfully as she puts an arm around both of them.

"Yang!" Nora replies cheerfully back and puts her arm around Yang as well.

"Oh didn't realise you was done Yang" Weiss says in reply.

"Yeah, what was that argument about?" Yang asks.

Weiss points to what used to be a glass trophy on the floor, it has broken in half and has several cracks in it.

"It's not completely broke" Yang says to her letting go of both of them and picking up one of the halves with her left hand.

Nora lets go of Yang as well "See I told you it could be fixed" she beams at Weiss.

Weiss shifts her weight slightly "Well, I didn't like it too much really" she says slightly uncomfortably, she turns and looks at Nora "I, Weiss Schnee, apologise for my actions."

"Don't worry about it" Nora replies cheerfully back "I guess it was my fault really." She picks up the other half of the trophy and puts it on the shelf it was on originally, Yang puts the half she picked up next to her.

"Can you two move for a second? I want to check there isn't any glass on the floor" Weiss crouches down and runs her hand slowly along the floor where the trophy fell.

Nora and Yang move out of her way and she finds a few pieces of glass on the floor which she puts in the bin. She walks back over to Nora and Yang who are watching her.

"I think we should move the food which is over here just in case someone hurts themselves on some glass I missed" Weiss says when she reaches them.

"I will help you move it" Yang starts to help Weiss move the tables of food near to a place where there isn't much chance for glass to be there.

"Me too!" Nora helps in her own way by pretending to be an interior designer and pointing where the tables should go.

After a few minutes they finish and Weiss shouts to everyone to be careful around the shelf which had the trophy on because of glass. Nora skips over to where Ren is looking at Blake's book collection.

Yang sits on one of the seats they brought to the room and sighs "I thought they would be back by now."

Weiss sits on the one next to her, which has a small purple cushion on it "Me too, nothing we can do about it though."

Yang looks at Weiss and smiles slyly "I just had a thought…"

Weiss turns and looks back at her "I know that look…"

"What if they are…" Yang starts.

"Don't finish that sentence" Weiss warns.

"…having…" Yang continues.

"Yang..." Weiss narrows her eyes.

"…problems" Yang finishes and shakes her head "really Weiss I expected better from you, how could you think something like that."

Weiss sighs "I'm surprised my white hair hasn't turned grey dealing with you, and I still have several years left of this too."

"Hey that makes it sound like you don't like me" Yang pouts.

"Yang even you have got to know how hard it is to deal with you sometimes" Weiss responds with.

Yang sticks her tongue out at Weiss "Maybe…"

Ruby POV

"So I can't believe I haven't asked you this before but" Ruby starts to say "What was Sanctum like?"

Pyrrha is slightly taken back but regains her composure "Well I'm sure it was quite similar to Signal really." She thinks for a few moments "It prepared its students for hunting Grimm and taught combat basics."

"That does sound similar to Signal, what were your teachers like?" Ruby asks.

"They were nice and respected me; although it could've been because they thought I was quite skilled" Pyrrha muses "What about Signals?"

Ruby looks slightly sheepish "Well two of my teachers were family so you know…"

"Really?" Pyrrha says in surprise.

"Yeah Yang's uncle and me & Yang's father" Ruby says.

"Just Yang's uncle? Not yours as well?" Pyrrha asks.

"He is my step-uncle so technically yeah but it would sound weird if I had tried to say that while saying he is Yang's full uncle as well" Ruby answers.

"Oh I see" Pyrrha replies.

"His name is Qrow, he was the one who taught me how to use a scythe and helped me build Crescent Rose" Ruby smiles and her eyes sparkle.

Pyrrha smiles back "You love your weapon don't you?"

"Of course, it's my sweetheart" Ruby replies genuinely.

Pyrrha laughs and then covers her mouth with her hand "Oh I see."

Ruby giggles slightly "That quite weird, isn't it?"

"It's not too weird really. Your weapon as a Huntress or Huntsman is important for survival as much or perhaps even than your partner or teammates" Pyrrha explains.

"I guess that makes sense" Ruby says causing them to sit and stand in silence.

As Pyrrha is about to decide to make an excuse to get out of the awkward silence, Jaune walks over to them with a plate of food.

"Pyrrha, Ruby, have you tried these skewers? The ones with chicken and stuff on them" he says as he walks over and stops opposite of Pyrrha with Ruby still sitting down on her bed.

"I haven't" Ruby says as she takes one of the ones off his plate.

Pyrrha looks at her as she eats it "Didn't you just eat like 20 cookies? It can't taste that nice after them."

"It's not that bad actually" Ruby replies between bites "I often eat savoury stuff after cookies."

Jaune offers one to Pyrrha who takes it "20 cookies?" he says in slight shock.

"Yeah, I would have eaten more but Weiss stopped me" Ruby pouts slightly "Meanie Ice Queen…"

Jaune looks over at Weiss who is sitting down and talking to Yang "She isn't that mean."

Pyrrha and Ruby both turn to look at him at the same time "What?" he says as he looks back and forth between them.

Ruby looks at Pyrrha quickly before looking back at Jaune "She can be quite mean sometimes; she is usually cold but most of the time she isn't mean."

"I admit that sometimes she is cold but I don't think she is mean…" Jaune says to them both.

"How many times has she rejected you so far?" Pyrrha says while trying not to sound mean.

Jaune sighs "Three…"

Ruby looks between them and then looks and speaks to Jaune "Maybe you should try to move on, someone else might like you…"

Pyrrha looks quickly at her with a startled expression and the looks at Jaune who is looking down at the floor. She walks the few feet in-between them both and puts her hand on his shoulder

"It will be ok Jaune, if you like her that much then she will come around I'm sure" she says while hiding her face from him by turning it away from him slightly.

"Thanks" Jaune looks happier.

Ruby decides to change the topic "So what do you two think of Jake?" she says casually.

Pyrrha lets go of Jaune's shoulder and turns to look at Ruby "He seems nice" she pauses for a few moments "Oh and he seems quite powerful."

Jaune thinks before speaking "He seems to be quite confident in his abilities but not to the point where it is annoying, although if his fight with Weiss was anything to go by his confidence is justified."

"I like him" Ruby says quickly and simply before realising that she is being stared at by Pyrrha and Jaune "Why are you both looking at me like that?"

Jaune coughs and looks away, Pyrrha sighs "Do you realise what that could mean? Especially if someone like your sister heard you say it."

Ruby closes her eyes and thinks, after a few seconds she opens her eyes and blushes a deep red "I-I d-didn't mean it like that!" she shouts causing some people around the room to look at her.

Yang gets up and walks over to the side of her bed no one is on or by and jumps on it and hugs Ruby from behind "What you talking about?"

"Y-Yang!" Ruby exclaims as Yang hugs her.

"Yes, something wrong?" Yang says "Talking about something you don't want me to know about maybe?"

Pyrrha and Jaune look at Yang and Ruby on her bed and decide it might be best to leave the two to talk on their own. They both walk away heading towards Neptune and Sun who are still talking in the corner.

Yang lets go of Ruby and leans back on the bed, Ruby turns around and looks at Yang before moving to the top of her bed and sitting down with her legs stretched out.

Yang looks at Ruby with a sly grin "So Rubes…"

"Y-yes Yang" Ruby replies somewhat nervously.

"What did you mean when you shouted 'I didn't mean it like that'?" Yang asks while still grinning.

"I don't know what you mean" Ruby lies.

"I can just ask Pyrrha and Jaune…" Yang starts to move.

"F-fine" Ruby starts "We were talking about Jake and I said something which could have been taken out of context."

"Oh?" Yang settles back into her original position and then winks at Ruby "Do tell."

Ruby looks around nervously "Well I might have said I like him, but they seem to take it the wrong way which when they mentioned it I realised what I said and how it could be causing me to burst out" Ruby explains quickly wanting this conversation to be over.

"Oh I see" Yang says "So you like Jake?"

"Wait what?" Ruby says surprised.

"You said you liked him" Yang replies.

"Y-yeah" Ruby says back somewhat confused at the way this conversation is going.

Yang smiles "The way you reacted to what I just said makes it seem like you expected me to say something else."

Ruby gasps "Y-you…"

Yang winks "I tricked you."

Ruby sighs "I knew something was up but I couldn't put my finger on it."

"Now tell the truth Rubes" Yang says seriously.

Ruby looks at Yang "I know he hasn't been here for long but he is just so nice and powerful too."

"I know Ruby, its fine if you have fallen for him or you are falling for him; might make things a bit awkward since he is on the team but your growing up and I have to understand that" Yang pauses before jumping at her and starting to tickle her "Doesn't mean I can't tease you though!"

"H-hey stop t-tickling!" Ruby tries to say while she is still being tickled but it comes out as mainly just weird sounds.

"I'm sorry Ruby I didn't quite catch that; could you repeat it?" Yang laughs as she continues tickling her.

Ruby uses her Semblance to get away from Yang flying across the room hitting the walls and bouncing off them causing the wall to crack, she turns her head so she can see where she is going only to see she is heading for the window at great speed.

"Shi-" she says before she smashes through the window and flies outside.

Blake's POV

"Well that hurt" Blake says to herself as she gets up after been kicked into a wall. She looks up and sees in the distance the girl and Jake are standing next to each other and there is debris all around them, how long was she unconscious for?

She starts to walk over to them before she sees Glynda walk by on path "Miss Goodwitch" she calls out to her.

Glynda stops and turns to look at her "Mrs Belladonna" she notices the impact in the wall and the bruises on Blake's body "What happened to you?" she says concerned.

"Got kicked into a wall" she says as she walks over to Glynda and the path.

Glynda's eyes narrow "By?"

Blake points to where Jake and the girl are standing, Glynda looks at where she is pointing "Whoever she is."

"She is early" Glynda says to herself, she turns to look at Blake "I will speak to her now."

Glynda walks over to where Jake and Mizore are standing talking, with Blake following behind. As they get closer Glynda looks around and sees the debris from their fight, she uses her Semblance to repair the damage, which causes them both to look at her.

"Oh hey Glynda" Jake says when he sees her.

"I am a teacher; you should speak to me with more respect" Glynda says in reply.

"Oh, sorry" Jake says simply.

"Glynda Goodwitch?" the purple haired girl next to Jake says.

Glynda looks at her "Yes."

"My name is Mizore Shirayuki" she says with a hint of a smirk.

"I have seen your file, so I know who you are" Glynda says with a neutral expression "Why did you kick Mrs Belladonna though?"

Blake shifts her weight at the mention of her and Mizore shifts her gaze to look at her, while Jake stands there looking at all three of them.

"It was a test" Mizore shrugs.

"Please refrain from attacking other students while you are here, unless you are duelling them in the Amphitheatre" Glynda says to her as she finishes repairing the area around them and the Blake shaped hole in the side of the academy.

"Will do" Mizore says quite cheerfully.

"So how did I do in your test?" Blake asks her.

Mizore thinks for a bit "Not bad but not the best either, most people who is hit by me have their aura broken with just one attack so you are better than people."

"Thanks, I think" Blake says.

Mizore looks at Glynda "I want Jake to be my partner."

Jake raises his eyebrow, Blake blinks in confusion and they both look at Mizore who keeps looking at Glynda, who sighs and takes out her Scroll.

"You're not deciding that yourself, you are here as an exchange student first" Glynda says to her while Blake and Jake look at them both in confusion.

Mizore nods "Of course, I just wanted you to know my opinion."

"I'm sure Professor Ozpin will take this into consideration" Glynda states "Now you need to come with me to see him" she looks and Jake and then Blake "And you two should head back to your room."

Mizore looks at Jake "I will see you later" she then starts to walk to the academy's entrance with Glynda.

"Umm sure" Jake says as she leaves.

"Well she seems nice" Blake says sarcastically.

Jake rubs his hair with his hand "After I beat her she seems to be yeah."

"You defeated her?" Blake says in surprise "She was ridiculously powerful."

"She is powerful yeah but she has weaknesses" Jake explains.

"She does?" Blake starts to walk to their room.

"Yeah, although she may not be aware of them" Jake follows close behind Blake.

"Ahh I see" Blake says as they reach the entrance to the Academy.

Just as they are about to head inside, they hear a shout and the sound of a window breaking. They both look up and to the left and see a red figure flying which lands in a bush a few metres away

Jake looks at Blake "Was that…"

"I think so" Blake says before he can finish.

Jake's POV

I walk over to the bush and before I reach it Ruby stagger out from it brushing herself off. Blake walks towards her more and makes her presence known with a cough.

Ruby looks up "Oh hey there Blake" she says casually.

"Why did you just go flying through the window?" Blake asks.

"Well…" Ruby notices me standing nearby "Did you get a new Scroll Jake?"

I take out my new Scroll "I did."

"Don't dodge the question" Blake grumbles.

Ruby ignores Blake's comment "What's your number, since you're on my team I need to be able to contact you" she gets out her own Scroll.

"Here" we swap details and Blake gets out her Scroll as well.

"If your adding Ruby, add me as well" she says to me.

"Sure, you have Weiss's and Yang's numbers too right?" I ask as I add her contact details.

"I do yeah" she says and gives me their details as well.

"Shall we head to our room then?" Ruby asks both of us.

Blake turns to her "When you answer my question."

Ruby sighs "Yang was tickling me and wouldn't stop so I used my Semblance to get away and couldn't see where I was going so I went out the window."

I laugh "Well its one way to get out of being tickled."

Ruby smirks "Are you ticklish Jake?"

I stop laughing "Wait what?"

Ruby runs at me trying to tickle me, I dodge left and she goes past me. She turns on the spot and tries to tickle me again but I dodge her again and start to run away from her.

"Hey come back!" Ruby shouts as she chases me.

Blake shakes her head as she watches Ruby chase me around the front of the campus, she heads to the entrance of the academy leaving us to do our own thing.

I jump up as Ruby uses her Semblance to try and catch up with me causing her to go under me. I land back where I was and she quickly turns around.

"Did you predict my Semblance or did you just react to it?" she asks me as we look at each other.

"Bit of both" I reply and look around noticing it is getting dark "I didn't realise it was this late."

Ruby notices it is getting dark as well "Me neither. Time to go inside I guess."

I flick my hair out of my eyes "Yeah?"

She looks at me "It is getting dark."

"And?" I ask.

"There is sort of a curfew" she explains.

"I hate curfews" I mutter to myself "Let's go then" I say out loud to Ruby.

We walk through the doors into the academy and head down the halls to our room, while we are heading there I mention Mizore to her.

"Do you know a girl called Mizore by the way?" I ask Ruby who turns to look at me before answering.

"I can't say I do. Why do you ask?" she responds.

"Because I fought a girl called that earlier, she was taken by Glynda to Ozpin and I was wondering who she was" I explain.

"Why did you fight her?" Ruby asks as we turn the corner to the hallway our room is on.

"I saw her at the Sky-port and then she was at Beacon's entrance, where she tested Blake by kicking her into a wall" I start to explain.

"She kicked her into a wall? Why?" Ruby asks me.

I shrug "I'm not too sure really she said it was a test, and then after I blocked an attack of hers she said she wanted to fight pretty much, so we did."

"And you beat her?" Ruby says as we near our room.

"Yeah, although she didn't fight like a normal Huntress, she didn't have any weapons; she made some weapons out of ice and covered the floor in ice among other things as well. It didn't seem like a Semblance; she was able to do too much with it really." I recall.

"Really? She had no weapons and was able to do all that stuff…" Ruby murmurs to herself.

We arrive at the door and hear lots of voices coming from inside, Ruby gets out her Scroll to open the door.

"So how do you open these doors with your Scroll?" I ask as she goes to open it.

"I will show you" she shows me how to open doors on her Scroll and I get mine out and practise "Only peoples whose room it is can open the door with their Scroll."

I try and open the door with my Scroll but it doesn't open "I guess it's because my Scroll isn't on the system or something."

Ruby unlocks the door and opens it "You will have to ask Ozpin or Glynda to put it on the system so you can unlock the door."

Ruby walks into the room and everyone stops talking and looks at her as she enters, she smiles and waves. I walk in behind her and see the banners and food and stuff around the room.

I step out from behind Ruby "So this is my party huh?"

Nora runs up to me and shakes my hand "Jake, Jake, Jake!" she sings and then runs back over to where Ren is sitting.

Weiss and Yang get up from where they are sitting and walks over to us, Yang goes up to Ruby and hugs her and checks that she is alright while Weiss walks up to and stops in front of me.

"Hi there" I say as she stops in front of me.

"Welcome to Beacon" she replies with, she looks down at the floor and back up at me "Where did you learn to fight? I thought I was pretty good but you easily beat me."

I shift uncomfortably "I didn't beat you easily."

"You did, you weren't being serious in the fight and you still beat me"

"How do you know that wasn't me being serious?" I ask just as Pyrrha wanders over.

"I could tell" Weiss answers as she walks off.

I look at her as she walks away, I notice Pyrrha standing close by from the corner of my eye so I turn to look at her "Hey there Pyrrha."

She looks up when I greet her "Hey there."

"How are you?" I ask as I walk closer to where she is standing.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking. How are you?" she says in reply looking at me with her vivid-green eyes.

I shift my weight from one foot to the other "A little tired, but apart from that I'm fine."

"Long day?" she asks.

"That and fights tire me quite a lot" I look around the room slightly seeing everyone talking amongst themselves.

"I must say I am quite impressed with the fight you had today" she says with sincere respect.

"One of the fights I had today" I correct her.

"You fought more than just Weiss today?" I look at her as she asks.

"I've fought Weiss, several members of the white fang; twice and a girl called Mizore just now" I explain to her.

She looks at me somewhat intrigued "Mizore?"

"I'm guessing you don't know her either" I look around and turn to look at her again "And I'm going to take a wild guess and say no one knows her."

She shakes her head "I don't recognise the name, but she might be from the second year maybe?"

"It would explain why she was so powerful, but I think Glynda mentioned she was an exchange student or something" I tell her.

"Did you lose to her? And exchange student, so she is like Neptune and Sun then?" she asks.

"I beat her but she was unlike anything I have fought before, and I guess so if Glynda says she is."

"She sounds quite interesting" Pyrrha chuckles.

We talk for a bit more before Jaune comes over and starts talking to her, I take this opportunity to excuse myself and walk further into the room.

I examine the room, seeing all the banners that have been put up, most say Welcome to Beacon but there two which say Welcome Jake in red and blue. There are several tables with lots of food on them so I walk over to them, I stop by one of them which is by a bed which Blake is sitting on.

While I am looking at the food on the table Blake greets me "Hi Jake, enjoying the party?"

I look up from the table at her "Hi Blake, yeah I am."

"That's good to hear…" she sounds like she has something on her mind.

"What's up, something on your mind?" I walk around the table standing to the left of the bed.

She seems surprised I'm able to tell "I was kind of thinking about Mizore I guess..."

"What about her?" I ask as I sit down; not too close but not too far from her.

"Well I was thinking that she easily beat me" she answers.

I shake my head "It wasn't fair, I mean she surprised you."

"I guess" she doesn't sound convinced.

"I mean you didn't even have your weapon on you either"

"I did not…" she sounds a bit more convinced this time.

I nod satisfied and get up to get some food "You want anything?"

She shakes her head "No I'm ok."

I put some food on to a plate and begin to eat, I head to and talk to the other people at the party.

Mizore's POV

Mizore follows Glynda through the halls of Beacon, keeping up with her quick pace easily. She looks at the hallway as she walks looking at the different doors and decoration in the halls and Beacon in general.

Glynda stops in front of an elevator with Mizore just behind, both having walked for quite a while, she presses the button and they both hear the elevator start to come down.

"We are going up this lift?" Mizore asks her.

"Yes, we are" Glynda starts to say "this is the way to the Headmaster's office."

"I see" Mizore says as the elevator arrives and opens.

Glynda enters the elevator which is surprisingly spacious, Mizore follows her in and stands to one side. The teacher presses one of the only button and the elevator doors close and starts heading up.

Glynda's breath starts being visible as the temperature in the elevator rapidly drops, she looks at Mizore "Are you making the elevator cold?"

Mizore looks at her "Sorry" she says simply as the air suddenly starts getting warmer.

Glynda curiously looks at her but decides not to ask the questions on her mind and the elevator ride up continues in silence.

The elevator slowly stops and opens on a spacious and well decorated office, a desk at the far end with Ozpin sitting behind it.

Mizore's purple hair flows behind her as she walks quickly out of the elevator and over to Ozpin and his desk. He looks up as she approaches, one of his eyebrows rising in slight surprise.

"Well this is a surprise" he gets up and walks around his desk "we weren't expecting you for several more days Miss Shirayuki."

"A nice surprise I hope" Mizore smiles.

Ozpin smiles as well "It is."

Glynda walks past Mizore and stands to the side of the Ozpin "Miss Shirayuki already has an opinion on who she wants as her partner."

"Do tell" Ozpin says to her.

"Jake" she answers simply with.

Ozpin looks quickly at Glynda and then back at Mizore "Any particular reason why you want someone who just joined beacon today?"

Glynda interrupts her as she goes to answer "I believe it is because she lost to him."

Mizore nods "I find him interesting as well."

"Well I will certainly take this in to consideration" Ozpin heads to his chair and sits back down "Now as you are here as an exchange student for at least a few days, you should have a letter for me?"

She puts her hand into a pocket and takes out a letter handing it to him "Here it is."

He takes it and goes to open it, noticing it was sealed with a seal he hasn't seen for a long time. He opens it and reads it, Mizore and Glynda are silent as he reads it.

"Thank you, Professor" Mizore beams at him.
