A/N: I am so sorry guys, that it has taken me literally months to get this chapter up and running. I had a ton of stuff to distract me, like my military stuff, Destiny, Skyrim, and Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F (which was a fantastic movie by the way! I loved it!) Anyway, I'm back, and here's the newest chapter! I'll try my hardest to be more forward with the updates and whatnot, but don't worry! I got this!
Disclamer: I do not own RWBY. This is a fan-made story. RWBY is owned by Roosterteeth, Monty Oum, and everything in this pales in comparison to that. Please support the official release
Chapter 8: First Day
Everything that had happened after the battle in the forest was a blur. We had finished initiation, reached the school, where a massive ceremony was held. Beacon students cheered and clapped for us and the other teams. We were then dubbed Team BRNS. Burns. Kinda appropriate after what happened, if you ask me.
Ater we got mostly settled, we all ended up crashing in beds and just slept in our combat gear. We were drained and exhausted, and we didn't care how long we slept at all. Well...all but one of us.
"We're Beacon students!" shouted our overly enthusiastic teammate Sam, waking us all up. Rilek fell from his bed, flailing his arms about, waking up so fast.
"What'd you wake us up for, dammit?!" Rilek yelled angrily. "It's... seven thirty. Damn. Classes start today don't they?"
Bella walked out of the bathroom, already in her uniform: a red skirt, black leggings, white dress shirt under a black jacket. "Well, this also gives us time to unpack while we still can. Classes start at nine." she said calmly. Apparently, she woke up before all of us.
"Right! So let's all obey our fearless leader, and get to work!" Sam cheered, causing Bella to blush at the fearless leader comment. It was very surprising to see her get picked, I'll admit, but Rilek just said shut up, that Ozpin had a damn good reason for doing this.
Rilek grabbed a suitcase and dumped it on his bed, sorting out clothes, books, and his weapon maintenance gear. Sam did almost the same thing, only hers was filled more with stuffed animals and plushies. Bella organized her clothes and miscellaneous items, but taking very good care not to show off undergarments.
That only left me. Everything I had I usually just wore, or stuffed in my many pockets. I sure as hell wasn't going to turn out any of those, revealing all the stuff I had...acquired. Then I remembered, I still had the SDC disks I had kept hidden after my failed job. Oum, that felt so long ago.
Bella looked at her watch. "Guys, it's eight o'clock, we need to eat breakfast. Sam, Nerik, go get clean and in your uniforms. Rilek and I will wait outside." Bella said, and walked out the door. Rilek stood to follow and smiled. "Better behave yourselves!" he cried in malicious glee, and sped out the door before I could even try to strangle him.
Sam shot up, her face a vibrant red color, stuttered, "I-I'll just use the shower!" before running in and slamming the door shut.
That gave the entire room to myself. I immediately stripped, folding my coat gently to not damage anything I had in there, and shoved it underneath my bed. Next, I grabbed my clothes and threw them on. I tried unsuccessfully to put on the tie, before Rilek yelled, "Hey, hope you aren't doing anything too frisky in there!" I said to hell with the tie, and marched out the door, just to try and smash that idiots face in.
We entered the first class, which was Grimm Studies, taught by Professor Port, a robust man with a massive mustache. He also didn't start out well.
"Monsters, demons, prowlers of the night. Yes the creatures of the Grimm have many names." he stated. "But I call them prey!" He gave a sort of enthusiastic laugh that really didn't carry with the rest of the students, except one poor schmuck who decided to try and throw the guy a bone, but only made himself look pretty bad. Port just grunted in disappointment and went on to talk, mostly about himself.
I took a look at the rest of the team. Rilek was already leaning back in his chair, sleeping the class away. Bella was waiting for the actual lesson to start, pen and paper in hand. Sam was nodding off, trying desperately to stay awake, if only just.
I however was paying attention to a certain red-headed girl, Ruby. She apparently showed no interest in the "lesson" as expected, so she did a bunch of random things, ranging from picking her nose to balancing a pencil on it. While all of this was kind of impressive how Port didn't catch her doing this, her partner Weiss looked like she was about to commit several murders, starting with Ruby.
" Does anyone here have these traits?" Port demanded, gesturing to the class, and stealing my attention.
"I DO!" Weiss practically screamed, as her hand shot into the air.
As Weiss gets ready to demonstrate her skill, Port brings out a wool-covered cage with something inside, trying it's best to get out.
Rilek was fully awake now, paying close attention the box and Weiss, sizing them up, and trying to find out what was inside the locked crate. I grimaced, knowing full well that it wouldn't be good.
"Ready?" Port called to Weiss, with his weapon out, a mix between a battleaxe and a blunderbuss. "NOW!" He brought the weapon down onto the lock, severing it, and releasing the creature in the crate, which turned out to be a Boarbatusk.
Rileks brow furoughed. He and i had faced those things before. The armor plating on the tops of their bodies were hard to get through, and Weiss had some sort of rapier weapon with a dust chamber. Not enough to get through the armor by force. Then Weiss went on the offensive, using glyphs to move forward and back, trying to gain an advantage.
Rileks jaw dropped as he looked on. I guess he didn't consider Weiss to be a glyph user. As Weiss's glyphs did a myriad of effects to the creature, the Boarbatusk itself wasn't getting damaged. Suddenly a surprise attack disarmed Weiss, and threw her weapon behind the Boarbatusk.
"Oh ho ho! What will you o without your sword?" said Port from across the room. Ruby yelled, "Weiss, go for the underbelly! There's no armor there!"
Weiss then shocked us all by yelling back, "Don't tell me what to do!"
My jaw fell open from shock. Did she seriously just say that? That's basically the role of a leader, to give out orders! I was about to knock some sense into her, when Bella jumped up, yelling, "Weiss! Behind you!"
Weiss looked behind her and saw the Boarbatusk charging towards her. At the last minute however, she rolls along the ground, grabbing her sword, and casts a glyph on the ground, throwing the creature into the air, and impales the thing on the ground.
"Impressive! It seems as though we have a future Huntress in our midst!" Port declared happily, while Rilek scoffs beside me. The bell rings and we stand to walk out.
"That was intense." Sam said. "I'm gonna like that class if it's like that!"
"I wonder how Ruby's doing." Bella said.
"She should be fine. I think she's too cheery for that." Rilek commented.
"Whatever, let's just find Weiss so I can punch her lights out." I growled.
Rilek just shook his head, and walked away.
