Welcome back. Honestly, I completely forgot to tell you guys that Ezra's stat sheet is posted as a Google Drive URL in my profile page. My fault, teehee. Anyway, how has your week been?
Notwithstanding, the amount of essays that I have to write is starting to kill me… Anyway, the Pokemon story will most likely be an offload of descriptive nonsense for me while the Worm Cyoa is for me to unload dramatic dialogue, but that is something for another day.
So, here is the gist. Pyrrha is best girl, I honestly don't care. Pyrrha is slated to die, so why not TP her to another realm. Anyway, I am planning on having Ezra tell them about his "magic" interface this chapter. This will also go through the start of the daily life of Beacon, essentially before the Forever Falls incident. Anyway, I have a poll in my profile page for what world to go next to. So there's that. Now then, enjoy.
Same as always, I don't own this shtick, If I did, Pyrrha wouldn't have died.
"Fuck off" - Regular Dialogue
Let's play a game - Game Notification

Edit (1/22/19): It was pointed out that I mentioned Darkness Dust twice regarding the "Grimm Keys". That's my own dumbass mistake. Sorry.
Ding!
GOOD MOOOORNING!
You have Fully Rested, 100% of HP/MP/EP.
Nice to see you as well, game. I groaned as I rose from my slumber. I grabbed a Pocky stick from my Inventory and snapped it in half with my mouth. I took the Beacon uniform from hanging by the closet door knob and equipped it.
Beacon Academy Uniform (Common):
Description: The standard uniform for Beacon Academy, this looks like a standard private school uniform with a red and blue tie.

Meh, I've worn worse. I then replaced the tie with my Clockwork Tie and checked the time in my HUD, it read 5:03 AM. That seems about right. I walked out of the dormitory and went down to the Kitchen to make a whole bunch of baked goods and tossed them onto a metal cart to drive towards our dormitory. I made sure to make a lot of cookies and pancakes to appease the two.
Ding!
Baking is now Level 78!
I heard beds rustling as the decadent smell of freshly baked goods filled the ornate hallway. I think that I heard Ruby yelling something about Cookies very enthusiastically. I shrugged, opening the door to Team SNRV's dormitory. I led the cart into the living room section of the dormitory and dragged out an oaken table from my inventory and plopped it down along with 8 dark oak chairs that I obtained from a furniture store. Laying out china plates, teacups, teaspoons, baskets for the pastries, fruits, and a tea box, I looked at the smorgasbord of options and nodded to myself, sitting down to help myself to some scones. I honestly don't need food to live nowadays so I might as well look high-class while eating it. *shrug* I think I never had that experience in my past life, so why not do it now?
[Hey, Ezra!]
What now, Game?
[Do you know that I… may have accidentally broke Ozpin's team name generator…..]
WHAT THE FUCK GAME! Are you saying that I could have had an actual word for our team name. You piece of sh- ahem. Calm down, I should probably calm down. I poured myself some tea.
As I sipped on some of the Mistralian Tea, apparently Remnant's form of Black Tea, both Team SNRV and RWBY came walking in. I so do wonder how Team RWBY got in, lucky that I have the extra chairs. I guess having food out woke everyone up earlier than in canon, as it is now 7:02 AM. Hmm, I wonder if anyone unpacked their stuff. I know that I put up the sword mantle and a stool down and that was pretty much it, the rest is still in my inventory.
As I sipped more of the tea, I decided to play a prank of sorts on the rest of the group. As they stood stock still in shock at the veritable buffet. I started to cackle, "I see that you have found my secret cache of food." I stated as I swept one hand over the food, the other holding a pocky stick.
"W-w-what is this?!" Ruby exclaimed, looking at the cookies with red sparkles surrounding her face…. Ditto for Nora in relation to the cookies.
"Breakfast." I calmly spoke, "Join me. The Grimm Side has cookies."
Ruby looked constipated as she stood there, obviously confused by the quote.
[+1 WIS for the reference..]
"I'm just messing with you", I laughed, "But you can eat." And with the confirmation, everyone else sat down gingerly on the dark oak seats and started to eat.
"So, Ezra," Weiss began conversationally, "I never knew that you were raised as a Noble." I hummed, wondering how to bullshit out of this one.
"No, I was raised well," I answered, as I continued to eat my scone. Anyway, I feel like I should retire my Barrett for something cooler. Hmmm, I also think that my sword is too OP along with the sword style for these situations. Maybe I should eat a Blacksmithing skill book and craft some Black Keys, I can easily rename them as Grimm Keys and use the Darkness Dust to mimic its shadow trapping abilities.
"So, did you guys unpack?" I asked as a conversation at the table grounded to the halt. Nora, with her mouth full of flapjacks, nodded, while Ren tiredly nodded. Good, even if I do question how Nora can eat like that. Pyrrha nodded, citing how she usually lived in spartan conditions for her decorations and really only needed to put her clothes in a dresser that was already provided by the school. Team RWBY all paused, before scrambling back, baked pastries in their mouth. Well then, I guess we wouldn't be seeing them anytime soon.
"So guys, how was your sleep?" I asked, trying to see if anyone noticed the bright lights, that was in the bathroom.
"I thought that there was someone in our room last night, but there was nobody." Pyrrha remarked, "Maybe I was still dreaming." I sweatdropped.
I look at the time, around 8:40 AM. Hmm, I guess we should go to our first class with Professor Port. "Hey, guys. We can do this after school. We should probably prepare for class." Everyone nodded, grabbing books and writing utensils in preparation for Grimm Studies. The group of us grabbed what other pastries we wanted and strolled down to the classroom.
As we sat down, I took a moment to look around the room for Team RWBY, I guess they will be late. I shrugged and placed my book down onto the table. All of the students talked amongst themselves, including the rest of Team SNRV. As for me, I mentally reviewed what I have to do, taking out a book on Blacksmithing, intent on seeing if I can learn the skill by speed-reading through the book, I mean, it's only 200 pages, how bad can it be.
Bad! Why is the language so dry for such an interesting topic! I checked by HUD clock and noticed that we have 2 minutes left until Professor Port will arrive. As soon as I checked the clock, the door burst open and all conversation halted, only to reveal Team RWBY panting in exertion. I facepalmed and sighed as they tried to walk to where our team sat at with dignity. Weiss was glaring daggers at Ruby, who didn't notice.
As she saw me, Ruby rushed over to my side and pouted at me with those OH MY GOD why are those EYES so ADORABLE?! I backed away from the twin eyes, boring at me, brimming with tears. "Ezra, why didn't you tell us that we are late!"
"I-i-i" I stammered, "W-we were already in the classroom and I didn't want to interrupt your unpacking!" Ruby paused in realization, "Whoops." she giggled as I sighed.
She noticed the blacksmithing book in my arms. "Oh hey, are you learning how to blacksmith? I can help you with that!" I mentally palmed myself, I could've asked Ruby for help and saved myself the agony. Oh well, I may as well try and see if I can learn without having to eat the book.
Professor Port finally walked in and all conversation halted as all of the students went back to take their seat. I closed my book and took out my notebook, noticing that Weiss looked at me in approval from the corner of my eye. Finally, the professor started his oratory.
"Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!"
Oh god, it hurts. Make it stop. I groaned as I slammed by the head, lightly, against the table, groaning in agony, along with the rest of the students. The room was magically filled with the sound of crickets chirping. Port awkwardly looked at his student audience, who looked bored.
"Uhhhh... And you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy! Now, as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in!" He enthusiastically announced with a boisterous chuckle. I decided to start drawing the design for my "Grimm Keys."
[Hmmmm. It looks like a good idea. You can infuse the metal with Darkness Dust in order for it to interact with shadows.]
"Game..." My eye twitched, "We had this discussion."
[-]
Port continued his address, "Huntsmen! Huntresses..." He gives a wink at Yang, who vaguely looked disgusted. I mean, he looks around 3 times her age, like damn, stay in your age group.
"Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves! From what, you ask? Why, the very world!" Professor Port roared out in pride, fist in the air. One student followed his example only to realize that nobody is following, and sat back down.
After a short chuckle, Port continued on to drivel about a story regarding his huntsman youth. During the progression of the story, Ruby started to draw a caricature of Port speaking and she giggled tiredly. She showed it to me as I sighed and then decided to silently laugh at her drawing, noticing Weiss progressively looking more angrily.
Port, noticing that nobody was really listening to his story anymore, decided to cut the story and continue on with the lesson. "The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable! A true Huntsman must be dependable! A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise! So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?" Port loudly mused, where Weiss decided to raise her hand in tempestuous anger, "I do, sir!"
Port chuckled in response to that statement, he hefted his blunderbuss axe in preparation to cut the lock on the cage next to him, "Well, then, let's find out! Step forward, and face your opponent!"
Weiss came back into the classroom toting her rapier, Mysternaster, and changed back into her "combat uniform" a white dress with snowflake-like dust imprinted within it. Team RWBY and Team SNRV were cheering for Weiss, but Weiss seemed to look annoyed at Ruby, who was fist pumping. Wait, is Blake holding a "Team RWBY" flag? I wonder if I can buy one for Team SNRV? Hmmm, I may have to make one myself.
Weiss sharply bit at Ruby, " Ruby! I'm trying to focus!", who looked saddened by the exclamation. When the Professor sliced down on the lock to open the cage door, Weiss immediately rolled to the side while deflecting the menacing flick of the Boarbatusk's… tusks as it charged at her. The Boar Grimm huffed as it shook its head, throwing its glare back at Weiss, who was preparing to thrust her rapier into one of its eyes.
As Port cried, "Ha-ha, wasn't expecting that, weren't you?", Ruby tried to console Weiss. In anger, Weiss charged the skeletal beast, only to result in her rapier getting lodged between the boarbatusk's tusks. The Grimm bucked back and forth in order to get rid of the clinging white dueler as she frantically tried to regain purchase on its furry hide.
Ruby, in an encouraging tone, yelled, "Come on, Weiss, show it who's boss!" As Weiss once again glared at Ruby, the Boarbatusk twisted its head in order to rip the rapier from Weiss' grasp and force the sword across the battlefield.
Port laughs and exclaims, "Oh-ho! Now, what will you do without your weapon?" Weiss looks up just in time to see the Boarbatusk charge again, rolling out of the way just in time to avoid getting trampled and make it crash into a desk. While it walked around in confusion, she rushes at her sword and slides to get it back in her hand. Ruby then notices that the underbelly was exposed as it drunkenly walk around. "Weiss! Go for its belly! There's no armor underneath-"
Weiss immediately cuts through her dialogue and yelled in anger, "Stop telling me what to do!" As Weiss reprimanded Ruby, who was progressively looking downer and downer, the Boarbatusk leaped into the air and rolled into a ball, spinning rapidly in the air and landing on the ground, consistently gaining speed until it launched itself at Weiss. As it neared her, Weiss notices and activates one of her glyphs in order to block the roll, leaping up into the now-black snowflake symbol and turning it blue again so she can drive the blade into the Boarbatusk's stomach. It squeals and falls silent while Weiss gasps in relief. The rest of the class roared in cheer at the successful kill as Weiss angrily stormed out of the classroom, Ruby not close behind her as she used her semblance to speed out of the classroom.
Port announced to the rest of the class, after frowning at the two girls for leaving class before being allowed to, "I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings, and... stay vigilant! Class dismissed!"
I picked up my belongings, then asked the rest, "I wonder what is wrong with Weiss?" The rest of the group shrugged and walked out of the classroom; I was close to following.
Team SNRV walked into the last vestiges of Ozpin's discussion with Ruby, "You've been burdened with a daunting responsibility, Ruby. I advise you to take some time, to think about how you will uphold it." He started to walk away until he noticed me.
"Hello young Ezra," Ozpin said happily. "I brought you some books you can read regarding your special condition." I inwardly cringed, he didn't have to put it like that. He gave me 3 covered books, "I don't need these back since I've already read them." Oh good, I can eat these as well. [Observe]

I have the stats for luck and wisdom, but not for INT, I guess I know what I'll be grinding on top of my more physical stats during the night.
"Thanks, Professor Ozpin," I responded, glee evident on my face for having such priceless texts. Blake looked intrigued at the books and tried to get a glance at it, only for me to swiftly stuff it into my backpack.
Before the rest of the group, I gave a decisive chop with my hand and said, "Not now, best do that in the room." I wonder if I should tell them…. Yep. I sort of have to in order to affect the plot greatly enough. Sigh.
[No no no, that's not how things are done. That's for the next chapter.]
You son of BITCH, I knew this was just a FANFI-
Oh crap, I may have made Ezra angry. Welp, I guess that I have to give him a boon.
Hey readers, what should I give him? Anyway, I may not update this next week since I have to work on my other stories. The next chapter will be about his explanation, new weapons, and the Jaundice episode, which will really be about the Forever Fall incident and the Faunus bullying moment. Whatever.
Anyway, have a nice week. And Tata!
