Chapter 6: A Familiar Friend
She arrived at the large building and looked up at it, "Impressive building" she stated.
She then went into the building, and talked to the lady at the front desk.
She informed the lady of who she was, then entered the elevator, and pressed the button to go up to where the headmaster was located.
("I wonder if I'll manage to find anybody") she thought to herself as the elevator climbed.
(Meanwhile somewhere else on school grounds)
The morning was 'interesting', Zoro and Sanji were the only ones who actually managed to get up in time (Zoro had already been up for a couple of hours training while Fluffy watched), but Luffy and Chopper were both still completely unconscious.
"Wake up you morons" Zoro and Sanji both screamed.
'Snore'
'Snore'
By this time Zoro and Sanji were ready for the day, and the first class of the day was about to start, so instead of creating more of a hassle for themselves, they both decided on an alternative.
(In the Hallway, about twenty minutes later)
Chopper awoke to being dragged down the hallway, "Wahh, what?" he inquired.
He was then immediately let go of and the figure who was dragging him turned around, "So you woke up, took you long enough" Sanji exclaimed.
Chopper stood up, wiped his thee sleep from his eyes and started walking alongside Sanji, "Why were you dragging me?" he asked the chef.
"You and the rubber-brained idiot wouldn't wake up" he said exhaling some smoke and glancing to Luffy (who was still snoring, and being dragged by Zoro).
Chopper sighed and looked down, and then he noticed something.
"You guys didn't perhaps bring me a change off clothes or anything?" he asked.
Sanji shrugged, "Not really, but I did bring this" he said as he reached into his pocket and threw something at Chopper.
Chopper caught the object, he then gave it a proper look, "A shirt, just a shirt?" he inquired.
Sanji exhaled a bit more smoke, "Didn't know if you wanted to keep that thing on your back a secret or not, so I quickly grabbed that before we left" he explained.
Chopper gave him a knowing glance and then chucked the shirt back to him, "I don't need it" he started to explain, "Although I wish I perhaps had a proper set of clothes to wear to my first class, that was my mistake, and although I could wear that shirt, Luffy probably won't care about hiding his scar, so why should I".
Sanji grinned, nodded and the three of them continued on their trek.
About ten minutes later, they had arrived at their classroom and upon entering it, they realised they were a bit early, so they went and sat down and tried to wake Luffy from his slumber.
'Thwack'
Zoro smacked Luffy's head with the hilt of his sword, but all that did was make the young man's head bob back and forth.
'Thwop'
Sanji had picked up Luffy and tried hitting him into the ground, but all that did was just flatten Luffy's body a bit, "Idiot" Sanji exclaimed before sitting back down.
Chopper was about to have a shot at waking up their 'leader' before a voice interrupted him, "I think I am right in assuming that you're not purposefully trying to hurt your leader" Professor Oobleck asked.
The three boys turned around to face the teacher, and the all shrugged, "Just trying to wake him up sir" Chopper explained.
Oobleck then walked past them and stared down at the still unconscious body of Luffy, "You sure he's okay?" he inquired.
The three guys all shrugged again, "He will probably wake up if we had some food, but we were in a bit off a rush this morning, we honestly didn't expect to actually to get to class early" Sanji explained.
Oobleck nodded in acknowledgment, and then started rifling through his bag (while taking intermediate gulps of coffee).
He then suddenly pulled out a chicken leg (Luffy's nose started to twitch), "Will this do?" he asked.
Sanji walked over, "Isn't that your lunch or something" the chef asked.
Oobleck shrugged, "I would rather deal with properly functioning student, then with not being hungry" he explained.
Sanji shrugged, and after motioning for Oobleck to pass him the chicken leg, Sanji grabbed it and chucked it directly to Luffy.
Luffy's mouth suddenly expanded and grabbed the chicken leg, chewed it and swallowed it in one quick motion, and then he was awake.
"I don't remember falling asleep here" Luffy exclaimed.
'Smack'
"That's because you wouldn't wake up you idiot" Zoro said after hitting Luffy, "We had to drag you to the first class, and I'm pretty sure that if anything, you should've been in charge of stuff like that".
Luffy gained a confused look, "Whaaaat?".
Sanji sighed, "You are our leader, you idiot, your meant to be the guy who's in charge, not the one who stays asleep while everybody else gets ready" he stated.
Luffy's face slightly saddened, "Sorry" he muttered.
Everybody else just sighed and shrugged, "Why did we expect anything else" they all muttered.
Luffy then joined everybody else at the desks, and then he turned to Oobleck, "So are you the professor-teacher guy, right?".
Oobleck nodded, "Yes I am" he stated.
"So are you gonna teach us stuff or are you just going to sit there drinking coffee?" Luffy asked.
Oobleck stuttered, "Well, your team did get here a bit early and as such there is still a bit of time until anybody else arrives" he explained.
Luffy looked to the others, "Why'd we have to get here early" he whined.
Sanji and Zoro glared at him, "We're not that early" Sanji stated, "actually, in all honesty, I didn't expect us to get here on time at all, given how troublesome all of you are" he said while specifically gleering at Zoro.
"Listen here Chef, I helped get them here, don't go thinking I was willing to help you, I just didn't want to cause more trouble and get that weird lady even more pissed at me" Zoro uttered.
Sanji smirked and then the doors to the room opened and numerous other students entered the room (some of them staring at the scars on Luffy and Chopper with intrigue, and maybe the slightest bit of fear).
The class started peacefully with Oobleck inquiring into the knowledge his students had on current events present throughout their world, there were the occasional dumbasses who knew jack-shit, the people who had been misinformed, and then there were the students who knew from first hand experiences.
The answers Oobleck got were intriguing, certain students had dealt with quite personal events and this slightly concerned him, but he had to continue, so he then started investigating the knowledge of his students.
But that didn't work well, so he eventually gave up, and just gave everybody a quick quiz, and after an hour he collected the results and all the students left.
The results ranged in impressiveness, and then he looked at the name on one of the papers, and this paper and the person who had written it, intrigued him.
(Outside in the courtyard)
Zoro was on the ground, asleep and leaning against the side of the bench, Chopper was reading a book, Sanji was running to and being shot down by every female he saw, and Luffy was trying to steal a bone from Fluffy.
"Give it back, I was chewing that" the rubber-man yelled at the dog-grimm, while he chased it, to the confusion of a majority of the other students.
Oobleck then came walking up to them, "Hello gentlemen" he said waving.
Oobleck's gesture was mostly unnoticed by the guys, except for Chopper.
"Hello, Sir" Chopper said while putting his book to the side.
Oobleck stopped walking, quickly glanced to Chopper's teammates and then back to him, "It appears that you are the only scholarly one of your group, why is that?" Oobleck inquired.
Chopper leaned back and shrugged, "Zoro and Luffy are the ones who excel at the whole intensive brute strength thing, and Sanji, although his strength is comparable to them, his skills in other areas put him at the same level as them".
"And what, you think you aren't at the same level as your teammates?" Oobleck inquired while eyeing Chopper.
'Snore'
"It's more like I'm the support, I can hold my own in a fight and have my own accomplishments and skills, those three are monsters" Chopper explained while eying the still asleep Zoro.
Oobleck looked at Zoro and then back at Chopper, "And what are your skills, if you don't mind me asking?".
Chopper's arms started to flail, but he quickly stopped and started to talk, "I'm an accomplished doctor" he stated.
"Doctor?" Oobleck inquired.
Chopper jumped off of the bench and looked up at Oobleck, "I have spent a majority of my life training to be a doctor, in the hopes that I can find a cure to every disease" he explained.
Oobleck looked at him with a bit of confusion, and then he repositioned himself and started to walk, "Come with me, I would like to continue this conversation and ask you a couple of other questions" he stated.
Chopper looked to the disarray that was his teammates, Zoro was still asleep, Sanji had been thrown through a pillar, and Luffy was currently being eaten by Fluffy, "Sure, why not" he said shrugging.
The two of them walked off, and almost immediately Zoro woke up, "Huh, what?", he started glancing around, "Where Chopper go?" he inquired.
He then saw that Chopper was walking alongside the teacher from before, "Ehh, he'll be fine" he stated, before standing up and walking off on his own.
Although neither Sanji nor Luffy had seen Zoro walk off, they both felt a tingling feeling, that they both knew could represent something bad was going to happen, ("Chopper's probably got him handled") they both thought as they returned their focus to their current situations.
(Somewhere else in the school)
"So how are you a doctor at only the age of seventeen" Oobleck asked as he and Chopper waled around the school grounds.
Chopper's eyes darkened a bit (which Oobleck did notice), "The man who raised me inspired me to want to become a doctor who could find a cure to every disease, an when he…" Chopper started to explain.
Oobleck gave him a thoughtful nod, "If there's some stuff you don't want to say, you don't have to" he stated.
Chopper smiled, "Thanks" he said, and then he continued.
"After something happened to him" Chopper quickly blurted, "I was then entrusted to a doctor known as Kureha, and she trained me in medicine" he stated.
"So how long have you trained to be a doctor for?" Oobleck asked.
"About five or six years, and then for around two years on an island with advanced skills in medicine" Chopper said.
"So you've been training to become a doctor since you were around ten" Oobleck stated.
Chopper nodded, "Yep".
Oobleck then quickly glanced at him and then continued to walk, "What about your skill in fighting, how did you manage to obtain that, because I have seen some of the videos of what you did during the initiation".
Chopper sighed, "My semblance can't be turned off, it mutated my body from an extremely young age".
"I've never heard of that before" Oobleck stated.
"Well, it wasn't exactly a magical moment" Chopper muttered.
Oobleck looked at him, "What happened?" he inquired, "If you don't mind me asking?".
"When I was born, my family saw me as something different and when my semblance emerged, it mutated me in a way that they saw as a monstrosity and so they kicked me out" Chopper stated.
"I'm sorry" Oobleck muttered.
Chopper had small smile, "It didn't matter where I went, nobody would show me kindness, everybody saw me as a freak, somebody that didn't belong anywhere, and it was only after meeting doctor that somebody accepted me".
Oobleck frowned, and then nodded for Chopper to continue.
"And after something happened to him and after staying with Doctrine, It was only when I was fifteen that I met my friends, and it didn't matter what I looked like, all they saw was a cool creature, it didn't even matter that I was a doctor, they just liked me for me" Chopper said.
"They seem like they're more than friends to you" Oobleck stated.
Chopper grinned, "They're my family".
"And what about that young man with the green hair, it seems you're pretty attached to him" Oobleck inquired.
"He is like the older brother that I never had, maybe even more" Chopper stated.
Oobleck smiled, "That's nice, it's nice that you found some people to care for you" he said, "And I have to ask this as well, because it does concern me, what are those things you kept chewing throughout the class".
Chopper started waving his hands defensively, "They keep my ability in check, when I was younger I tried to meddle with it, and that didn't go well, so I had to create something that would make sure that I wouldn't lose control" he explained.
Oobleck put his finger to his chin and quickly slurped some coffee (that had come out of nowhere), "So couldn't you ask for help with it?" he asked.
Chopper shrugged, "Yeah, because others have had to deal with the same problem as me" he sarcastically replied.
"So you couldn't go to anybody else?" Oobleck asked.
"Not really" Chopper said shaking his head.
Oobleck then chuckled, "If you do need help, please ask for it" he stated.
"And now that I've asked these questions, my original question has been answered" he stated.
Chopper looked at him confused, "What was the original question?" he asked.
"I just wanted to know how you could've answered everything correctly on that quiz, and now I know why" he said, and then he turned to face Chopper, "You are quite an intelligent young man, I hope to be able to see your skills in the future, but for now I wish you luck" he said as he walked off.
Chopper started to smile and wave his hands, "I'm not thank…." He then slapped his face and waved at Oobleck, "Thankyou sir" he said as he walked off in the opposite direction back to where his team was.
And then a grave though hit Chopper, ("I left Zoro alone, Crap"), he then shifted to walk point and ran off back to the bench.
(A couple of minutes later)
Chopper got back and he realised that he had made a mistake, "I shouldn't have left him alone" he stated as he tried to search the area.
Sanji and Luffy both walked up to him, the both of them starting to get the feeling of the situation, "He was left alone, wasn't he?" Sanji asked Chopper.
Chopper paled and turned around, "Yep, and now we've got to find him" he said about to run off, "You keep Luffy with you and go looking for Zoro!" he yelled as he ran off.
Sanji shook his head and looked to Luffy who was currently digging a hole alongside Fluffy, "Well, crap" he stated.
(In a different part of the school)
Zoro was lying down on a bench looking up at the sky, ("I wonder how I got up here?) he inquired.
And then he heard somebody (was probably a woman) inquiring about something, "Well... I-I think I should have been the leader of Team RWBY!".
Zoro focused on the conversation the female was having (he felt as though he had heard of team RWBY), "That's preposterous!", somebody else had answered her and the voice belonged to a man.
("Why do I feel like I've heard that girl's voice before") Zoro thought to himself.
The man than started explaining that the leader of the woman's team was not a mistake and that she has a skewed perspective of the world, ("Heh, so somebody thinks they're capable of something they're not") Zoro thought smirking.
("The world was definitely what she was expecting") he thought to himself, the girl then admitted to having had nearly everything handed to her in life, and then the man gave the woman some words that even Zoro had to admit held merit.
Zoro then sat up just in time to see the man leaving (who Zoro could guess was one of the teachers, but he couldn't put his finger on it), and then he turned to see the white-haired girl who he had seen with the annoyed look from the initiation.
Weiss looked at Zoro in annoyance, "I'm guessing you heard all of that?" she asked.
"Does it matter?" Zoro said shrugging.
Weiss's eyes narrowed, "You do not mention what you heard to anybody" she said to him.
"Fine" Zoro said, "But I got a proposition for you.." he eyed Weiss, "If you want to hear it?".
Weiss looked at him in annoyed confusion, "What are you talking about?" she asked.
Zoro smirked, "You've gotta realise that you can't choose your leader, but you can decide on if you want to be the strongest person they can rely on" he stated.
"What does that mean?" Weiss asked him.
Zoro's eyes narrowed, "From what I've heard, you're your team leaders partner, and if your leader isn't there, everybody should be able to turn to you" he stated.
Weiss nodded, "So, what are you saying?" she inquired.
"I'm saying", Zoro's face became stoic, "Did you want to get stronger?" he asked her.
"What?", Weiss looked at him shocked, "I will get stronger, why are you asking me that?" She stated.
Zoro smirked again, and he activated the Wado Ichimonji, "Did you want to be trained?" he asked her.
Weiss looked at him, with what was almost an insulted look, "You think you could train me?" she asked sarcastically.
Zoro's eyes closed and he swung his sword (without any dust activated) directly towards the sky, and the blade of wind that emerged from sword cut went straight through everything in its path and when it reached the sky it cut the clouds in half.
Zoro opened his eyes (and silently screamed from the large amount of pain from using such a powerful slash) to see Weiss with a shocked look on her eyes, "A true swordsman should be able to cut everything and also nothing" he said, "Your personality interests me, you have a blade, and you appear to have the propensity to improve".
He then eyed Weiss (who gulped), "So, I will ask you again?", Zoro took a breath "Did you want to be trained?".
Weiss looked at him, and he mind quickly raced, her eyes kept darting to the large slash in the sky (and also the path of destruction it had left behind on a couple of trees).
She then sighed and smiled, "Would I be able to answer your question later?" she said eyeing him.
Zoro looked at her in acknowledgment to why she needed to answer him later, "Fine, come and find me when you are ready" he said and then walked to the edge of the fence and jumped off of it.
Weiss just looked at the display she had seen in pure confusion, "What, was that!?" she yelled.
She then remembered the reason she had rain checked his offer and she quickly ran off to her dorm, intending to right what she had wronged.
(On the ground)
Chopper had been looking all over the school and he couldn't find the wayward swordsman, so after about thirty minutes had passed, he went back and met up with Luffy, Fluffy and Sanji.
"So I'm guessing you didn't find the idiot?" Sanji stated.
Chopper silently nodded, "Where could he be?" he inquired.
"Give it back" Luffy shouted.
Chopper and Sanji turned to see Luffy and Fluffy fighting over what appeared to be a large stick, "Seriously?" they both asked.
Luffy and Fluffy turned to them, "What" Luffy asked (and Fluffy thought).
Sanji shook his head, "Never mind" he said with holding his hands behind his head.
'VWEEEEEEEEEEEE'
The four of them looked up (And Luffy and Fluffy dropped the stick) to see a figure dropping down to them, "What. Is. That." The three guys spoke, while Fluffy just looked up in confusion.
The figure then got closer and although all of them had finally recognised who it was, there was not enough time for any of them to move out of the way, so the figure crashed into all of them.
The smoke settled, and the guys pulled themselves up, and looked down at the figure that was partially in the ground, ("Idiot") they all thought looking at the green haired partially buried man.
Zoro looked up at them, "Oh, it's you guys" he said.
"DON'T, 'Oh, it's you guys' US, WHERE WERE YOU, AND WHY DID YOU JUST DROP OUT OF THE SKY!" Chopper and Sanji yelled (Luffy just watched with enjoyment).
Zoro blinked, "I though I was going upstairs" he exclaimed.
Everybody dropped to the ground (Fluffy and Luffy just copied the other two), and then as Zoro dragged himself out of his hole and patted himself down, Glynda came walking out of the building.
"Mr Roronoa, might I ask if this was your fault" Glynda asked.
Zoro looked at her and shuddered, but before Glynda could say anything else, he grabbed his team and bolted back to the dorms, "Nope, not at all" he uttered in the middle of his haphazard act.
Glynda sighed and got to work fixing up the mess, "That young man is going to cause me so many problems" she muttered to herself.
(Back at the dorm)
By some miracle, Zoro had somehow managed to find his way back to the dorm (it would be always remembered as a miracle by the rest of his teammates).
They then crashed through the door, rolled along the floor and smashed into the wall below the window.
Luffy was the first to rise up from the mess, "Wow Zoro, are you scared of her or something?" he asked the swordsman who was the next to get up.
Zoro's eyes darted, "Nope, just wanted to get back to the room" he spluttered.
Luffy laughed at the reaction of his nakama, and then he walked off into the kitchen with Fluffy.
Sanji and Chopper got themselves up, and although the both of them wanted to talk back to Zoro, one look from the swordsman quickly shut them both up.
Zoro then walked past them and looked at the shelf they had the devil fruits on, ("Maybe") he thought to himself while he stared at a particular fruit in general.
(In Ozpin's office)
Ozpin eyed the young lady in front of him, "So what exactly is it you think you will get out of this job?" he asked the woman.
"I have a reason to stay in this part of the world and I think that while I am here I should help out in the best way I can" she explained.
"Might I ask, what is the reason for you staying in this part of the world?" Ozpin inquired.
The woman smiled, "I'm just trying to find someone" she stated.
Ozpin grinned, "And I'm guessing that the name of that person is a secret".
The woman simply nodded.
"And are you sure that you want to take up this position?" he asked, "I mean it's not exactly the kind of job that suits your capabilities".
"I'm not going to lie" she started to explain, "You are right in regards to my capabilities, but…".
She smiled, "In regards to the situation I am currently in, I have no other choice" she explained.
Ozpin looked over his glasses, "Very well, if it is an acceptable proposition, I welcome you to our institution".
"Thank you very much" she said.
Ozpin nodded and then gestured for her to leave, and as she left she gave him a respectful nod.
"Interesting" Ozpin muttered to himself, and then he got to work finalising the documentation.
He wrote the last three lines of the document:
Third Year
History Teacher
Nico Robin.
And here we are, the first of the other four introduced.
Good job on the first one; Runeion and HYDE-BERSERKER, (because even though I suck at writing at writing hints, I'm just glad some people tried to guess the characters).
Also, just for if anybody ever asks, this story won't really be focusing on ships or anything, maybe they will happen in the background, but I probably won't go into detail (mostly because I might mess it up).
And thanks for all the favourites and follows I got for this story within the first month of this story, I'm happy that some people actually like my story.
And that's all, Peace Out!
