Author's Note: Hey all, I just wanted to apologize to all the newer viewers for this short chapter in advance because my old self just thought I deserved a little break from the introduction XD. But don't worry. After this mark is when the chapters begin to to get a little more wordy. So I hope that makes up for it!
Song: ...
NOTE: This Chapter has been Re-edited (Almost entirely,) compared to the original upload. For the newer viewers of course! Also, some future chapters will be expanded upon too. So if some chapters between 2-13 don't look as... sophisticated as other chapters at the moment, then just know that I am trying my best to fix them. You will see this note only in chapters that have been RE-edited or remade, just letting you all know beforehand! Now please, Enjoy!
…...
The elevator door behind the two men then opened slowly, and three other people stepped out of it, with one of them being Glynda Goodwitch. The second was a rather, stout man with grey hair and a mustache, and the third was a thin man with glasses, and spiky green hair.
And since she had already met Gage, Glynda thought it was appropriate for her to introduce the other two to their new arrival.
"Mr. Sim, these are Professors Port, and Oobleck." But, green haired man, who was Oobleck cleared his throat and pushed up his glasses with distaste. "...It's Doctor Oobleck, Ms. Goodwitch." He corrected her.
The three walked out of the elevator after that, and moved all the way behind Ozpin's desk with haste. "Let's begin, shall we?" Glynda asked them all. "Peter, we'll let you start, since you've been solo eager to question him." She said sarcastically.
So, Professor Port stepped forward with a huge smile that was aimed towards Gage, and he crossed his arms curiously. "Ms. Xiao Long said that you, and I quote, 'saved my butt by decapitating a goliath, with a knife'. That is one extraordinary feat Mr. Sim, but is it true?"
"...Yeah, but it wasn't exactly as easy as it sounded like. I was lucky it even stayed still long enough for me to do that "
The professor's white eyebrows then raised so high, that you could actually see his eyes, which were now huge. "How?! They are so massive! Getting to it's neck would be a challenge in itself!" And the enthusiasm from the teacher just made Gage smile,
"Well if you piss it off enough, it'll try to use its tusks on you, but if you dodge them, you could land on them, and use them to your advantage."
He then pointed to the back of his neck, and made a motion with his finger like he was sawing it against his own skin, "You could try to slit it's throat, but it takes longer, so I went for the nape of Its neck. It's harder to do, but you'll know that it's dead if you take it's head off." He told the Professor with a smirk.
"Fascinating!" Port yelled. Glynda then smirked, and turned to him with her arms crossed. "Why are you excited Peter? I thought you told your class that you've slain a Goliath before?"
And Port just took a step back and stayed silent after that...
"Um… *clears throat* ...Dr. Oobleck, I believe it is your turn." Ozpin said, trying not for there to be an awkward silence amongst them. "Oh Yes it is! Now, , and just by instinct!-HOW?"
Gage was hesitant to answer, but not by nervousness, he was just trying to break up his sentence so it could actually make sense to him,
"Uh… it's an old trick my father taught and tails can indicate emotions, so I tested her and I saw that bow on her head move more than once."
"Soyourhypothesiswascorrect! Fascinating!"
Oobleck gripped his own chin and began to look like he was deep in thought, and began to pace a bit, so Ozpin sighed again and was forced to remind him of what else had been presented
"*sigh* ...And you brought a horse with you too Mr. Sim, 'Green Bean' you call her. But… why a horse?"
But Gage took it as an actual question once the Professor didn't react, "Well, i saved her when she was a baby, and she's decided to stay with me after that. For a long time now actually. And she can handle herself, so we have each other's back." He answered.
And that was when Oobleck interrupted them loudly with a raised finger, and a large grin too. "Of course! Horses can sense danger! They are a reliable source of transportation, and they can hold more weight than a human. An excellent companion!"
"She's not my pack mule, 'Doctor'..."
Gage said this as he began to sheathed his Kukri Javix, and he put Mistletoe on his back again as well, but noticed that Ozpin was now staring at him, both with annoyance thanks to his two fellow Professors… and with… understanding, or something close to that. But he appearing to be in deep thought as well.
He figured that if Gaga had managed to find a horse and care for it the entire time he was out in the wild, and also meet the four of Team RWBY, and put up with their antics without anything happening to either of them…
...So, with also the the drive to keep his two other staff members from embarrassing themselves anymore, Ozpin stood up from his desk, and looked over at the young man with another smile,
"Alright… i think that I have more than enough insight to reach a decision for you, Mr. Sim…"
The whole room then went quiet once the Headmaster made this thought known, but…. Glynda just glanced at Gage, and approached Ozpin so she could whisper to him, "Professor, you're not actually considering that he-" But Ozpin stopped her,
"You've read his file Glynda, and you know his credentials… and what he's been through. This is the only chance he has left. So why not try and see how responsible he can be for his own fate..."
"Hmph… Very well…"
He then turned back to Gage, while Glynda's eyes just remain dead on his figure, and put his hand behind his back.. "Mr. Sim, your classes will begin in one week. We will provide you with a school uniform, and you will of course need to buy school supplies, so we will provide you with the finances."
"Huh… just like that?" Gage thought to himself.
Their new arrival smiled for a few moments in excitement, but eventually stopped so he could ask, "What about my horse?"
So, Ozpin grinned even more, and just turned to Glynda with raised eyebrows, "We still have the old locker rooms, so i'm sure Glynda here can construct something for your companion." He said, trying not to chuckle.
The combat teacher shook her head and growled, but of course complied and took a brand new scroll out of her pocket before she placed it on Ozpin's desk, and just walked away.
Ozpin picked up the scroll from his desk,and looked down at it for a few seconds before he glanced back up at Gage… and just continued to hold it in his grasp as he spoke and lifted up his glasses.
"You will be staying in the Vale dorm building. Wing V-12, room 7. On the bottom floor. Team RWBY live in the same building, so they can show you where it is if you have trouble finding it, and they can also show you around the academy if you need assistance… but…. Aside from that…"
And finally, as the suspense finally came to a close, Ozpin looked up at Beacon's newest student, and held out the new scroll to Gage, and he took a hold of it as the two men just looked back at each other, and smiled in anticipation for the future.
"...Welcome to Beacon, Mr. Sim."
