I'm working on this a lot sooner than what I was expecting at the time of writing this but hey, my life is all kinds of haywire right now so why the fuck not. LETS GET ON WITH THE SHOW. Unfortunately some unforeseen events occurred that didn't leave me in the best writing mood but hey here ya go.

We got back to beacon and nothing was to different, just the teachers telling us what to expect with the new semester so everything was all fine and dandy. Then lunch hit, oh boy was I excited for this. I was about to go get in line for my food when a bunch of other first years came up to me and started rapid firing questions off at me. For a few seconds I was very confused until I started paying attention to what they were asking me. Apparently my team, and team JNPR were the best teams in the first year and a lot of people saw me as the best male student in our year. And Pyrrha of course being the best female student. Pretty much all the questions were how I got into to Beacon, what was my trick to staying at the top and what was it like being apart of the top team in our year.

"Alright, Alright, everybody hold on now. Now to answer your guy's questions give me a bit of breathing room first and then lets start." They stared at me for a few seconds before backing off.

"Ok to start off, I got into Beacon like everybody else, I took the initiation and got the relics like normal. So there's nothing different there." A few kids looked a little disappointed but nothing like I couldn't really fix. "Second, I'm honestly just like you guys, does it feel good to be at the top, yes it does, is there some sort of trick to doing that? No, not really unless you count hard work and dedication as a trick. Third, I count my blessings when it comes to my team, they're the closet I got to family here, in fact two of them are my adoptive sisters so there's that."

And is out of nowhere there's a pie in my face.

I let the pie slide off my face and on to the floor, I make sure to close my eyes clean off my glasses and look over to where said pie came from. I did notice how the cafeteria had not become dead silent. There was a almost giggling Nora pointing at Weiss who was pointing at Nora, recalling from the show Nora threw a pie and Weiss' face but my guess is that she somehow deflected it. Right into my face, from across the hall. I wipe off my face and look directly at Nora before screaming.

"YOU'VE DONE IT NOW VALKYRIE!"


A blonde haired monkey Faunus is talking to a blue haired young man with yellow goggles upon his head just outside the cafeteria

"Heh Man that's harsh."

"So then we were fighting side by side and she was super fast, and I threw a banana at a guy. Which sounds gross but it was awesome!"

"Nice!"

"Right? And the best part is, she's a Faunus!" The blonde one covers up his mouth real quick. "But that's a secret OK!"

"Got it." The blue haired one rolls his eyes at his energetic friend.

"And not a I'll tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back secret! I'm talking secret secret!"

"Woah chill out man OK? I got it. I got it..."

"You better." The blue haired one rolls his eyes again. "I just don't want to screw this up, ya know?"

"The people here are the coolest, no offense to you guys." As Jaune arc smacks the window, unnoticed by the two teens.

"None taken."

"OK they're just in here. I'm really excited for you to see them, so be cool Ok? You're gonna be cool right?" Which the blue haired teen's response is to simply cross his arms and lean back.

"Dude." While his teeth shine in the light.

"Good point." They walk into the cafeteria when all the students start running outside screaming 'Food Fight!' They came upon the scene of a orange haired girl singing 'I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle!'

The blue haired teen had a look of horror upon his face, while the blonde haired young man had a look of excitement plastered on his.


"JUSTICE WILL BE SWIFT, JUSTICE WILL BE PAINFUL, IT WILL BE DELICIOUS!"

"YEAH!" While Juniper start throwing watermelons at us Yang gets her turkey to punch them away. In all honesty they weren't exactly hard to dodge, so she's just wasting energy at this point. But meh, food fight.

I grab a nearby cucumber and charge forward only for Nora to stop me.

"Sorry Ashey, but I gotta make this fair." What did she mean by that- OH SHIT TABLE!

I was thinking as Nora flipped up a nearby table and drop kicked it into my face sending me out of the cafeteria and rolling out into the courtyard. Where there are a bunch of other students looking at me with concerned looks on their faces.

"Nora drop kicked a table into my face." That got nods of understanding from everyone around me as I slowly stood up.

"I'm gonna feel that one in the morning." I groan and rub my probably bruising face as I look up to see Yang burst through the roof. I let out a sigh of annoyance before dragging the table back the cafeteria. I'm heading to the door when I see that Goodwitch has already beat me to it and is more than likely patching up the mess. I walk in behind her unbeknownst to everyone around me. The girls and JNPR are laughing, Sun is trying to calm down an angry Neptune and Ozpin is doing his wise headmaster thing. He turns to leave and see me there with a nasty bruise already setting in, gives me a nod and walks out.

"HEY NORA!" I say as plant the table down flip it up and plant my foot with all of my damn might on it and push. Jaune, Pyrrha, and Ren all dodge out of the way while Nora looks over in my direction and second too late and gets hit by the table sending her all the way across the cafeteria, now with her own table face.

"PAYBACKS A BITCH AIN'T IT?!" The hall is dead silent and everyone is looking at me like I just committed murder.

"Oi, I didn't get to participate in the food fight because she wanted to make it fair. Do you know how many food fight's I've been in, in my life? Zero! And the only one that I'm every likely to participate in, I get kicked out the window. That's not fair I tell ya." Another moment of silence before another fit of giggles stings out from my rag tag group of friends. Goodwitch gives me the stink eye before fixing that table and marching out the door in a huff.

"I tell ya, she definitely needs to get laid, I don't care by who, just get some stress relief. Damn." My blonde sister strode up next to me with a smirk plastered on her face.

"Nice shiner bro, and you think you're up for the 'Goodwitch Challenge'?"

"Goodwitch? I don't know maybe? She'd probably throw me around the bedroom, and not through telekinesis if you catch my meaning. But hey, if it helps." I could see out of my peripherals that ruby had a scrunched up nose and really didn't like that image that was probably circling her head and Weiss looked absolutely appalled. Blake had her blank look on her face as always. Yang looks like she's stuck trying to figure out if I'm serious or if I'm joking.

"Wait are you serious?" The blonde bombshell that is my sister had asked me. I look at her with a genuine smile on her face before patting her on the head,

"You'll find out eventually my dear little sister." And my entire team is looking at me like I'm a nut case. Well I mean I sorta am.

"But in all seriousness, if that were the case you wouldn't know about, who I have a romantic feelings stays up here, and never leaves the brain." I smiled at them, but I could tell that they all wanted me to answer that. Well too fecking bad team.

We were all walking back to our dorm, talking about what had transpired over the break for each of us. We somehow got it through our head to start off in alphabetical order so I was first.

"Well for me not a whole lot really occurred that I haven't told you all already... I got a new Grimm that I consumed, and she's a giant Beowulf. Her name is Freki by the way. She's currently hanging out in the Emerald Forest doing Oum knows what. But yeah, you already learned how I can conjure my Grimm now. I remade Steele's Descent into what she his now. A Zanbato, still with the high molecular blade but that part is used to generate energy to shoot the Rail gun. There is a gun feature on the sheath so that I can start to use Iaido in fights. Still not confident enough to use that technique yet. But yeah... Other than that not much. You're up Blake."

"I stayed at Beacon to continue my research on the White Fang. Tracking any of their movements but it's been quite recently. I know they're planning something but I still haven't gotten a clue yet. I'm going to keep looking. Other than that I was reading my books or sleeping. I tried to go check on an old friend but he seems to have left town recently. I couldn't figure out where he went and frankly it's a little concerning." Talking about her friend she gets a sad look on her face and I'm going to take a shot in the dark here.

"What was his name Blake?" She looked over at me and studied me a bit, before relenting and finally speaking.

"His name is Tukson, he ran a bookstore after leaving the White Fang. He just wanted to get away from it all, but right now it looks like they caught up with him."

"Almost caught up with him." They all gave me a confused look, asking me to continue.

"Well I kinda stopped two White Fang operatives from killing him with a bit of missed direction. If he didn't change his destination, he's somewhere in Vacuo."

"I- what- I'm not going to ask and just say thank you..." I smiled at her before Blake gestured to Ruby to explain what she did over the Break.

"Well I visited some of my friends from Signal and Hung out with them for a bit. But a lot of the Break was spent at home with Ash, Dad, and Yang. I perused the internet a lot mainly looking at weapons and weapon mods. Oh! I also discovered this amazing blog about this Huntress named Gael who's a fox Faunus. She's basically a 'Killer' class Huntress, which is so cool! Also her weapon, Catharsis, looks broken but it's a part of the design. They can join together via Dust and ooh it's just soo cool! I'll have to show you guys later."

"'Killer' class Huntress? What's that?" There were classes of Hunter's now?

She blinked at me for a few seconds then she remembered that I wasn't originally from here.

"Oh right! 'Killer' class Hunters are Hunters that their main purpose is all out damage, like you and me. Then there are the 'Guardian' class hunters, like Yang," Said Blonde waving and smiling," Who are the type of Hunters who are meant to take the Grimms focus, and protect the other members of the team. Then there are the 'Knife' class hunters, like Blake," said Ravenette nodded in my direction, "Who primarily focus on harassing the bigger Grimm and keeping the smaller, more manageable ones off of the 'Killers' and the 'Guardians'. Then lastly we have the 'Mage' class Hunters, like my awesome partner Weiss," To which said heiress straightened her back and looked proud at that statement. Not sure if she's proud at being a 'Mage' class or Ruby calling her awesome. I'm going to go with the former. "Who's usual focus is too support the team or teams, with powerful Dust abilities, making it easier for the 'Killers' to do their job right."

I'm honestly a little dumbfounded that she was able to keep all that information in her head.

"I'm a little proud of you for that Ruby, I wouldn't expect that amount of information from you but from Weiss. But thank you for that explanation." She rubbed the back of her head and giggled sheepishly.

"A-Anyways your're next Weiss!" She cleared her throat before speaking.

"I went back to my family in Atlas for a visit. I was greeted by my father and Whitley, who the latter seemed to quite pleased to have me back, if for the two weeks that I was there for. And I must admit it was good to see my younger brother again. Though my Father was a little... perturbed with me still for choosing to got to Beacon instead of Atlas academy. But I stand by my choice and I won't change that. The majority of my stay was attending more classes and meetings in regards to running the SDC but it was all a bit dull compared to my life here at Beacon. But I am glad I got to visit my family but I'm excited to get back here to Beacon. To get back here with my team." I smiled warmly at her. Proud of how far she's come from being that snooty rich girl at the beginning of the semester.

"Finally I'm up!" My Blonde Bombshell of sister yelled. "I went back to Patch like the rest of my family but I went to the local Achieve Guys concert and let me tell you, they sound just as awesome in person as they do on my scroll. They also did an after the show signing and let me tell you guys, they are hilarious. They certainly know how to achieve a high level of humor..." She winked winked nudge nudged us, but we all groaned. I like puns but that was pretty bad. "Oh come one, that was a good one."

"Yanggggg that was not a good one, your puns are never good!"

"While I'll agree with Ruby on this one, you usually do so much better than this."

"Meh, it was still a Yang-irific pun in my eyes."

"Oh my Oum..."

I know it's a shorter chapter but the next one will be a bit longer, and we will finally kick off Volume two.

Don't forget to vote in the poll if you haven't done so already. Currently Blake is in the lead with Bloody Mary in second with Neo, Raven and Freki tied for third. Please share this story with your friends and review done what you think about this chapter, besides that it's short.
