Quick Note, the stray/black and white is being skipped right now, it is not important currently to the story. However, the event's in it are, that includes Sun's introduction, Blake's reveal, and Team CEM (Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury) being shown to the world. They are important, but Ralen will not be in those episodes. So, lets begin chapter 7

Chapter 7: First (real) lesson

Ralen was eating some bacon and toast alongside some coffee. He sat next to Weiss as she and the rest of her team (minus Ruby) were eating breakfast. Blake was reading something in her notebook, maybe stuff about the white fang now that her team had told them. Recently, Blake and Weiss had an argument about the White fang, and Blake revealed that she was a Faunas and ran away. RWBY spent 2 day's looking for her, and when they did, Blake told them the truth about her past as an ex-member of the terrorist organization. She told JNPR and Ralen, and everything was Ok.

"Watch Doing?" Yang asked Blake, who put her book away.

"Nothing, just going over notes from last semester." Ralen was drinking his coffee as Yang replied, then she caught some food item in her mouth thrown by Nora on the opposite table facing them. Ruby then appeared, slamming a Binder on the table that read "BEST DAY EVER ACTIVITIES" in red.

"Sister, Friends, Weiss" (Who immediately replied 'Hey!') "Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a Dream!"

"This outa be good." Yang muttered to Ralen and Blaked before catching another food item in her mouth.

"A dream that one day, the four of us would come together-as a team-and have the most fun anyone has ever had, EVER!"

"Did you steal my binder?" Ruby then put her hands up in a peace sign and retorted, "I am not a crook" to Weiss's question.

"What are you talking about?" Blake said, very inquisitively, to Ruby replying, "I'm talking about kicking off this semester with a Bang!" Yang then opened her mouth (to Ralen's displeasure, he knew what was coming) and said, "I always kick off my semester's with a YANG." Ralen them slammed his head on the table, pointed his thumb to the door and muttered "get out. You'll give me cancer." Yang immediately was hit on the nose by a tomato, thrown by Nora.

"But guy's it's been a good two weeks, and between more exchange students arriving, the tournament at the end of the year and Ralen's private lesson's with Ozpin, our second semester's going to be great! But classes start back up tomorrow which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today!" Ralen shifted in his seat, his "Lessons" with Ozpin was...not what was he was expecting. They mainly talked about fairy tales, weapons, powers, and personal history. It was really, really, boring. Honestly, what was the point of these lessons? To train with Ozpin sounded exciting! Awesome! Not drool inducing.

"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in mind." Weiss said, right as Yang threw a apple at Nora, missing and hitting a random person. "I don't know," Blake began, "I think I might just sit this one out." "Sit out or not, I think however we spend this last day we should do it as a team!" Weiss announced, "I for one, think thaSPLAT" She would have made an impressive speech, if Nora hadn't thrown a pie at Yang, miscalculated her aim and hit Weiss square in the face. Ralen looked at the two teams, shook his head and said, "Nope, I'm out." He got up and walked away, hearing the noises behind him full of yell's and screams of "FOOD FIGHT." When he arrived at the door, he saw Sun, the Faunas guy Blake introduced them too, and a blue haired boy with googles and a tesla gun on his back.

"Hey Sun." Sun looked at him and waved.

"Hey Ray, this is Neptune, my partner." He said while making a gesture to Neptune.

"Sup."

"Hi, I'm Ralen. Nice to meet you." Neptune nodded and the three boy's watched as the food fight between RWBY and JNPR commenced. Several moments were very strange, like how the food they used as makeshift weapons never broke, how Weiss was able to use a swordfish as a rapier, how Nora got a makeshift hammer via pole and watermelon, how Yang used turkeys as gloves, and many more including how Yang was launched OUT OF THE BUILDING! While watching, Ralen made some bets on who would win with Neptune and Sun, himself betting on RWBY's victory. In the end, Ruby used her speed to make JNPR ram into a wall, alongside multiple food items, winning Ruby the Fight.

"I love these guy's" Sun said as Ralen collected his 10 Lien from Neptune and Sun. Glynda then came barging in behind them, looking ready to murder. She used her Semblance and riding crop to repair the entire room before saying several simple words.

"Children please, do not play with your food." The two teams looked at the ground in shame, before Sun flashed a smirk and started to push Ralen, "Sun, what are you doing?" He ignored Ralen's question and pushed him to a specific spot. After two seconds, Yang crashed through the roof, landing on Ralen as both their faces met the floors in a very unpolite manner. Everyone was laughing as Sun started making jokes that Yang was "Falling" for Ralen. As both blushed and laughed, Ozpin came and put a relaxing hand on Glynda's shoulder. After their discussion, he turned to leave but announced to Ralen that today they would have to meet for another lesson. Preferably after Ralen cleaned up. Ralen grumbled and sighed, he had no choice. He alongside the other two teams, went to their dorms to change.

Ozpin looked out the window at his old friend James fleet. Ironwood always thought military strength would help most problems, but right now it could be a curse. A door opened and in stepped Ralen, looking tired and bored. Ozpin smirked mentally, Ralen really was his mother's son, always hating doing nothing.

"Please don't have this lesson be like the last lesson, please?" Ralen practically begged. Oh, Ozpin would have had fun, but time was short and fun was not needed right now. They were running out of time.

"No, today we will begin properly." Ralen smiled and pumped his fist in the air after hearing the statement, then saw Ozpin and immediately moved to military seriousness.

"What are we doing today?"

"We will be evolving your semblance." Ralen looked so shocked, Ozpin swore it could destroy the tower if he revealed the other secret, but he was not ready for the truth. Not yet.

"I'm sorry, but evolving my semblance. That's...Tha...That's a impossible! It's only a theory!?" Ralen managed to stutter out.

"I assure you, It is possible, and we will be doing it today. I will not lie to you, it is dangerous, and may not work. But we must do it." Ralen was skeptical, they had to do it?

"Why do I have to do this?" Ozpin frowned internally, the boy was good. He was questioning his role. Good. Right now, he had to do what he did most of his time as headmaster, bend the rules and the truth.

"You are on a singular person team, I feel that you need to be more powerful to survive mission's where you are usually on a team. Believe me, this will help." Ozpin added a compassionate smile, the smile was genuine. "Alright then, let's do this I suppose?" Ralen replied, slightly assured. "Good, now to begin. To evolve semblances several conditions must be met, the biggest is emotion. Your emotions must be in a heightened state to make the semblance increase, to put it in better terms, when you are in extreme emotional distress, your semblance can possibly evolve, when you are using it of coarse. However, since we do not have a way to induce a natural emotional disorder, we must make it artificially. Which is why I have brought a acquaintance of mine." When he finished speaking the door opened and in came a female with long black hair, a red and black jacket, and a Grimm mask. She had a katana in a multi dust sheath. (A/N, you can guess who this really is.)

"This, is Jame. Her preferred name, as her real one is too secret to reveal currently." The woman nodded to Ralen, who looked at her in mild suspicion. She seemed familiar, but he dismissed it for another time. "Now, what will happen could lead to some...complications. I need to know if you are ready. Are you?" Ralen took a deep breath and nodded. Ozpin then looked to Jame, and she walked to Ralen. She motioned for him to sit down, and when doing so, he put her finger's on his temples, and breathed in. Ralen then was flooded with images in his mind, of fire and death. Of monsters and experiments, of blades and war. Of betrayal and murder. He started shaking in his seat, he was going into shock. He couldn't take it anymore.

"get...out...of...my...HEAD!" He screamed at the last part, and a wave of power came rushing away from him and back into him. He then slumped, unaware that he fell unconscious for two seconds, and the longest two seconds of his life.

Ralen was surrounded by white light, it cleared to show a room with wires and machines in it, more advanced than anything he had ever seen. "Mr. Galath, are you ready? The second test is about to begin." A woman said behind him, Ralen turned around and tried to ask her what was happening, but what really came out was, "Of coarse Lelindre, let us start. Bring in the subject." Ralen paused, but he kept walking at the same time. Why did I say those words? Why am I not stopping? What is going on? Ralen saw people come in pushing in a boy, around 12. He looked bruised, bloody and broken. Ralen gasped, but nothing came out of his mouth. His legs started moving to a console, most likely the main one, and he started pushing keys and buttons as the other two men put the boy on a table in the middle. Suddenly, mechanical arms, needles, and other things came out of the roof and near the boy, Ralen saw the boy being bolted to the table as he struggled, and Ralen said words that he did not mean. "Don't worry Jori, we are going to save you. Your Q.I.P will be activated, and you will never be hurt or alone again. All I'm asking, is for you to be brave." Ralen looked at his hands, and a mirror reflection on the console. He was the same as before, except with red in his eyes. The machines lowered itself onto Jori, who's screams began and were muffled as Ralen awoke.

Ralen awoke in a jolt, breathing heavily as his pupils were dilated. He felt Ozpins hands on him as he regained feeling.

"Ralen, are you alright?" Ozpins voice was distant, but he was gaining his sense of reality. "Yeah, i'm good, what happened." He sat up and looked for Jame, only to see her completely frozen, as her Aura shimmered around her. "Congratulations, your semblance has evolved." Ozpin said as he helped him up. "What happened?" Ralen asked as Jame was freed suddenly, and unexpectedly. She glared at Ralen, who had anger and fear in his eyes, before looking at Ozpin, nodding as if saying she was done, and vanished in thin air. "Don't worry, she does that." Ozpin told Ralen, he then asked him what happened, and what did he feel. Ralen didn't want Ozpin to know what he had seen, so he lied, saying he saw nothing. Ozpin talked to him for several minutes before letting him leave. Before Ralen left he office, Ozpin said one more thing.

"Ralen, if you have anymore strange dreams, let me know and talk to me. Please." Ralen was shocked, how did he know? Leaving quickly, he headed into his room for the rest of the day, locked himself in, and hugged himself in bed, not weeping but still sad. He didn't know now, who he was, what he was.
