Hey everyone! I've decided to split this chapter into three parts, because I have to introduce the second-year students including the canon ones and also because it would take a while to come up with appropriate fight scenes and action in the next two. They will appear just as much as the first-year students and even the protagonist Ruby. I hope you found the twist interesting, and I look forward to see what you think about this chapter and the second-year OC students :)
PS: I somehow lost data due to the internet being cut off before I could save it, which means I had to start over, which is why the update took so long for me to do :(
Happy reading :D
Emerald Forest
Ruby and Kiyoshi
There was a small silence as the two first-year students stared at their upperclassman, already preparing themselves to act once he starts attacking them.
Sighing, the second-year student decided to break the silence.
"Now that introductions are finished," Makoto spoke as he stood up on the tree branch "I'll begin testing the two of you."
The redhead opened the book he was carrying as it began glowing a pure white aura.
Ruby and Kiyoshi immediately tensed, as the former was gripping the hilt of her blades tighter and the latter's aura began flaring throughout his entire body.
Without warning, multiple portals appeared out of nowhere in front of the two students as they all surrounded the area Makoto is in, as well as some trees.
He stared at his underclassmen, before smiling as aura beams shot out of each portal, prompting the two to separate as they dodged the beams themselves.
"I can't deny that he has power." The white-haired boy mused as he switched directions to avoid getting hit by each beam as they pierced the trees that supposedly provided small cover from the beams' line of fire, he then turns right and hides behind a large nearby tree, presumably to create a weapon using his semblance.
That did not go unnoticed by his upperclassman, as he removed his glasses to sense his aura from his hiding spot.
Smirking, he creates another portal behind the large tree as a chain shot out from it and wrapped itself around said tree. He then flicks his finger, causing the chain to pull the tree as it was pulled out of the ground.
As soon as the dust clears from the tree being pulled out of it's spot, Nakamura had created a long black spear with a sharp pointed silver tip. He narrows his eyes as he gripped the spear tightly before adopting a stance where he bends his knees slightly and holds the spear using his right hand as stared at the portal turning his head left along with the left side of his body.
Two more portals appear as they shot out stronger aura beams heading towards where the boy is standing.
In response, he swiftly turns right to dodge the beams, in which the portals tilted slightly to shoot out more. The boy remained calm as he brought the spear in front of him and deflected some of them, before spinning it to deflect the rest.
"I hope Ruby is doing fine on her own." He thought worriedly, as he ran while deflecting the beams in the process.
Shun and Miyazaki
Both students were walking through the forest, but the white-haired faunus couldn't help but notice the lack of Grimm around their current area.
"Normally, there would be at least one Beowolf that would come out to attack us." The girl mused as she warily scanned her surroundings.
"Hey, Miyazaki." Shun spoke up, grabbing his partner's attention "It's strange that there isn't any Grimm around, you know?"
"I know that." Yukino replied quietly, still looking around for signs of danger.
"Good job, snow girl." A new voice said out of nowhere "You noticed that there isn't any Grimm around to fight,"
The two students immediately tensed as they look around for the source of the voice, with Miyazaki pulling out one of her handguns and Fujimori pulling out silver knuckles and putting it on his hands.
"Who are you?" She asked, narrowing her eyes dangerously "Show yourself!"
A dark chuckle was heard as a girl emerged from one of the tree's shadows.
"I think I've had my fun watching you guys." The girl smirked in amusement as she came forward "As for introductions, my name is Doreen Sullivan from Team MDNT (Midnight), and second-year student to boot."
Doreen was slightly older than both underclassmen as she has long black hair with dark purple streaks on her bangs that is tied into a ponytail, she has dark red eyes and a very pale complexion. She has a slightly average build with a modestly sized bust, and is wearing some black mascara on her eyes.
She is wearing a black trench coat over a black long-sleeved v-neck shirt, dark gray pants, and black leather boots with the pants' legs tucked inside each leg. She also wore black fingerless gloves with a small gray scarf that covered her neck. The girl was carrying a seemingly large gun behind her back as it had a black strap.
"The Grimm aren't going to be your only problem." Doreen explained, still smirking "You're gonna have to go through me first, if you want to grab those relics."
Miyazaki's eyes narrowed further as she places the gun back in the belt's holster, before an icy blue glow appeared on her right hand. She closed her eyes as the glow created an ice sword, much to her partner's surprise and shock.
"Whoa! Is that your semblance?" Shun asked, as he stared at the weapon in awe.
"I suppose I should tell you about it now." The white-haired girl opened her eyes before speaking quietly "My semblance allows me to manipulate and control ice and snow, as well as making it out of thin air."
"Does it also mean you can create weapons and stuff too?" He raised an eyebrow.
She didn't say anything, but nodded in response.
"Well, then it looks like it's the perfect time to show off my weapon." The boy smiled as the silver knuckles transformed into silver spiked gauntlets with dust cannons attached to them, they also resembled a knight's gauntlet.
It was his partner's turn to raise an eyebrow, but simply shrugged in acceptance.
Doreen noticed the students readying themselves and smiled in amusement at their power.
"They have a lot to learn, once they really start in this school." Her expression was warm for a few seconds, before a serious expression took over "Alright, but you're not gonna fight me alone."
As if in response to her words, her aura flared as the colors were pitch black. The shadow below her manifested itself into a very lifelike clone of her.
"Freshmen, meet Doreen 2.0 a.k.a. my shadow clone." Doreen introduced the clone itself.
"Creepy." Shun muttered under his breath.
The dark-haired girl then pulled out her gun, right before it transforms into a large metallic scythe. Her clone does the same action, but the scythe was a shadow as well.
She smirked as she and the clone got into a stance "Your move."
Lily and Ryoma
They walked through the deep forest after waking up, until the rabbit faunus felt a droplet of water fall on her nose.
"Strange, I don't think there would be any rain around these parts." She thought before feeling more drops of water falling on her and her partner.
"Shit! Let's take cover!" The boy quickly grabbed her arm as he ran towards a nearby tree.
"R-Right!" The petite girl said, as the much taller boy pulls her under a tree where they took cover from an unexpected rain of some sorts.
"Damn, I don't think a fucking rain would start around here." Ryoma grumbled slightly, before turning to his much smaller partner "I'm sure as hell that there wouldn't be any rain if we go back."
"You have a point." Lily cupped her chin as she observed the rain closely, before her eyes widen in surprise at what she is seeing in the distance "Ryoma?"
"What is it?" The boy prepared himself to listen.
"I don't think this rain is caused by natural means." Her eyes never left what she is seeing "I think this is a kind of water semblance, because I see someone."
"Huh?" He was surprised by that info "Then who's out there?"
As if in response, a giggle can be heard from a distance, as a yellow hooded figure came into view.
"Who the hell are you?" Ryoma asked, narrowing his eyes.
The figure giggled again as they stepped closer "My my, it seems like my semblance has activated without me noticing again."
"Huh, what do they mean by that?" Lily asked as her mind searched for answers.
"I suppose I should introduce myself now." The figure reached out for their hood and pulled it off, revealing a girl with fish fins on the sides of her head "Hello, my name is Nagisa Mizushima of Team MDNT (Midnight) and your upperclassman."
The now named Nagisa stepped forward as her entire body came into full view.
She smiled at the two students, before bowing politely "At your service."
Lily took this opportunity to observe the girl's appearance.
Nagisa was an attractive girl as she has long platinum blonde hair that reaches the end of her back, cerulean blue eyes and a slightly fair complexion. Despite her rather average height, she is quite curvaceous with D-cup sized breasts, slightly wide hips, and is perfectly fit. She also has noticeable fish fins on the sides of her head.
She is wearing a yellow raincoat cloak over an armored light blue bikini top, a dark blue combat skirt, and black boots with black fishnet stockings. The girl also carried a medium-sized metallic trident on her back, along with wearing a brown leather belt with pouches around her skirt.
All in all, her appearance seemed to cause Ryoma to blush profusely.
"Damn, she's hot." He thought, his face turning even more red.
"Is your semblance water-related?" Lily asked, stepping forward slightly.
The blonde nodded in response "Correct, my semblance is my ability to manipulate and control the water around me." she closed her eyes as her aura was glowing a light blue glow as the rain slowed down significantly.
"With the amount of aura she has," The rabbit faunus observed "She can even create rain if she concentrates hard enough."
"Uh, I got a question for ya." Her partner raised his hand "Are ya by chance a faunus?"
Nagisa nodded in response "Yes, I am a fish faunus to be specific."
"That would explain the fins on her head." The petite girl looked over to the older girl's fins.
Shaking her head, Lily speaks up "Why are you here?"
"Oh yeah!" Ryoma focused back to what was happening "What's your deal for being here?"
The fish faunus smiled as she began to explain "The headmaster has assigned me to test you both, which is another part of your initiation." she reached out for the trident on her back "In order for you two to continue on, you would have to get through me as another test."
"Another test, huh?" The boy grinned as he took out his sword "Give us your best shot."
"Best shot." She places a hand inside one of her pouches "Very well then."
To the students' surprise, their upperclassman took out two blue seeds from her pouch before transferring her aura into said seeds. Afterwards, she throws the two seeds onto the ground, to which the ground starts shaking as two creatures made out of water rise.
"What the fuck." Ryoma muttered, processing what he just saw.
"These two are water golems." Nagisa introduced the two creatures "They will be assisting me in testing you two."
As if on cue, one of the golems pick up the girl as they place her on it's head.
The girl readies her trident as she stared at the two first-years, she speaks up "I will not go easy on you both, but I will make sure to hold back slightly as I do."
"What do you mean by-" The boy was cut off as a large fist slammed itself on the ground with his eyes widened in surprise as he jumped back in response before the attack would hit him "Shit, that was close." afterwards, he lands on another part of the area near his partner.
Before he could say anything, Mizushima immediately throws a water-formed spear at him. Luckily for the boy, Lily conjures a glyph that shields him from the next surprise attack.
"Your welcome!" She called out to him, to which he nodded in thanks.
The both of them knew their test was far from over, as they prepared themselves for more attacks from their upperclassman.
Ezra and Kiara
He and his partner were walking through the forest, right before the former felt a third presence around them.
"I sense another person's aura around here." The boy thought as he then hears noises coming from the bushes.
A yawn can be heard as a boy emerged from one of the bushes, he then faced the students in front of him before deciding to introduce himself.
"Yo, it's nice to meet you two." He smiled as they waved his hand at his two underclassmen "The name's Travis Jones, member of Team MDNT (Midnight) and I'm here to test you two."
Travis was a year older than the two students as he has brown wavy hair that reaches his shoulders with bear ears on his head, he has dark green eyes and has a fair complexion. He has a slightly muscular physique with broad shoulders and is clearly taller than the two students.
He is wearing a silver chestplate over a black t-shirt along with spaulders and gauntlets, gray pants, and black combat boots. He also carried a double edged battleaxe on his back and is wearing a brown leather belt around his pants where he stores magazine rounds.
"Test us?" Kiara narrowed her eyes "What do you mean by that?"
"Well, the headmaster told me and my team to test you guys." The older boy explained "So, he assigned me to test you guys before you can get those relics."
"I see." Ezra came forward with a serious expression "I take it that we would have to get through you first."
"Yup, that's pretty much the gist of it." The brown-haired faunus said, before smirking "I'm not gonna go easy on guys though."
"That's to be expected from a school like this." The boy mused thoughtfully "Judging from his appearance, he must be second-year student since there are no bear faunus among all of us first-year students."
"To show you two how serious I am." Travis suddenly glowed as his aura is colored brown, then the boy suddenly grew large as fur grew all over his body with his head being replaced by an actual bear's.
He grinned toothily as he pulled out his axe and pointed it at the two "Get ready!"
The raven-haired faunus responded by taking off her jacket and gloves, and rolling up her sleeves. Her arms then transform into blades as she stared intently at her opponent.
Her partner pulls out his sword as it sparked with electricity, right before it transforms into the same set of armor he used when landing on the ground, but then he converts his aura into his right hand to conjure another sword.
Both sides charged at each other as blades suddenly clashed with one another.
Forever Fall
Weiss and Cayden and Blake and Magnar
The four students continued to walk though the red forest itself towards what surprise initiation had waiting for them.
Blake immediately tensed with her faunus hearing active, as she seemed to stare ahead.
"What is it, lass?" Magnar asked curiously.
"I sense two people ahead of us." The raven haired girl replied still staring ahead, as they entered an open area, to which two people were in sight.
"This initiation is getting interesting." Cayden said as he stared at the two people ahead of him.
"I wonder what those girls are here for?" Weiss narrowed her eyes, as she observed the two girls.
There were two girls in an open area as they awaited the new unofficial team.
The first girl was a year older than the four students as she has short dark-brown hair with wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that starts in dark brown and transitions to caramel, dark-brown eyes and a fair complexion. She has an average physique, but has noticeable curves on her chest and waist.
She wears a long, cocoa-colored shirt with a dark brown waist cincher, long dark brown trousers with ribbons on the left side and a brown belt with bullets. She also wears another cocoa-colored belt of bullets with a gold crosshairs buckle, along with a drape of black skirt hangs on her right side and a pair of dark brown, high-heeled leather boots with buckles.
The girl also dons a number of accessories, such a bracelet with black roses as a decoration, that are accompanied by black gloves and necklaces. She wears a beret of a darker brown and a pair of black, wire-rimmed aviator sunglasses. She is holding a black shoulder bag with gold studs, which is held by a bandolier strap.
The second girl was different as she has long brown hair that reached the end of her back along with long rabbit ears on her head, brown eyes and a pale complexion. She has an average build, but also had noticeable curves on her chest and waist.
She wears a short, long-sleeved brown jacket with a golden zipper and a black semi-translucent undershirt beneath her jacket, along with golden spaulders and vambraces on both arms, brown shorts with golden detail and black leggings, as well as a similar belt, and her heel and toe are likewise protected.
"Look what we have here." The first girl pulled down her sunglasses "The name's Coco Adel, the leader of Team CFVY (Coffee)." she pointed her thumb at the second girl "Her name's Velvet Scarlatina, also a member of my team."
"It's nice to meet you four." Velvet bowed politely "We're assigned by Professor Ozpin to test all of your strength and power."
"That's right." Coco stepped forward and smirked "Since we don't have time for chit-chat, we'll test you right now." she turned to the rabbit faunus "Velv, you can use your semblance on them."
"Thanks." The rabbit faunus nodded as placed down a camera and box as it produced a hard light copy of a bow as arrows materialized in her hand "I think I'll use Kirino's weapon and fighting style for this one."
"Judging from her stance, the bow she's using is not an ordinary one." Weiss observed the copied bow in her hand.
"Something doesn't feel right about that bow." Cayden narrowed his eyes, before turning to his partner.
Both students looked at each other for a moment and nodded, as if they had already agreed on something.
"Wait for it ..." They both thought, as their upperclassman aimed the bow at them.
However, Velvet decided to aim away from the students and shot a light arrow at the sky as it created a large glyph that covered a large area, catching the two off guard for a brief moment.
After a few moments, dozens of light arrows immediately shot out of the glyph as they hit multiple parts of the ground.
"Scatter!" Weiss shouted, grabbing Blake as they avoided each arrow.
"Let's move!" Cayden called out as he and Magnar ran to avoid getting hit.
Coco watched the four students running from the falling light arrows and then turned to Velvet "Good thing the glyph came with the bow you copied." she turned to the direction the male students were running "I'll go test the boys, while you go after the girls."
The rabbit faunus nodded in response as she and her friend parted ways to continue testing the students.
Cardin, Russel, Dove and Sky
The four boys were still walking on their own, as Russell noticed something ahead of them.
"Look!" The mohawk boy pointed as he saw two people ahead of them.
True to his word, there were two boys standing as they the four students came to them.
The first boy has dark messy burnt orange hair that has a long fringe and a cowlick, pure white eyes and a dark complexion. He was slightly taller than some of the first-years, but has a lean build, as well as as his arms being covered in scars and a vertical scar is seen on his lips.
He was wearing a sleeveless, muted orange zipper vest with black lining and a high collar, a pair of black jeans and brown laced shoes. He also wears a pair of long black gloves and has several pouches attached to his belt, as well as having a pair of blades attached to his arms.
The second boy was different as he has shaved-short black hair, brown eyes and a tanned complexion. He has a tall and athletic build as his height towered over the four students before him, along with the first boy.
He was wearing a long short-sleeved robe, which he wears on one shoulder over a black muscle shirt and is fastened at the waist by a leather armored belt with two pouches on it, brown pants and black-and-green boots. His left arm bears a 5-layer sode which extends up past his shoulder, as well as carrying a large greatsword on his back.
"Hello there, I see that you four have finally arrived." The second boy said before introducing himself and the first boy "My name is Yatsuhashi Daichi and this is Fox Alistair, and we are members of Team CFVY (Coffee), as well as your upperclassmen."
Fox, the first boy, nodded in acknowledgement.
"We have been assigned by the headmaster to simply test all four of you, before you can get the relics." Yatsuhashi stated calmly, pulling out his sword "I would advise that all four of you to work together as one."
Cardin grinned cockily as he stepped forward and pulled out his mace "I got dibs on the first hit!"
With that, the boy immediately ran towards the two second-year students with the other three following suit.
Mountain Glenn
Ajax and Valerie
The two students were on their own as they passed through the ruins of the abandoned safe haven.
Ajax immediately tensed as his faunus senses detected something around them.
"What is it?" Valerie asked as she faced her partner curiously.
"My senses are on the fritz." The wolf faunus replied, looking around his surroundings "I don't think we're alone."
"That's correct." A new voice said as it came from either of the destroyed buildings "I apologize if I have been watching you two silently."
As if on cue, a girl appeared on the rooftop of another building as she stared at the two students with calm and calculating expression.
"I believe I must introduce myself now." The girl placed a hand on her chest as she introduced herself "My name is Kirino Amano and I am the leader of Team KYNO (Kayano), and your upperclassman."
Kirino has rose pink hair that is tied into two low pigtails, sky blue eyes and a fair complexion. She has a petite build, along with having a medium height and a seemingly flat chest.
She was wearing an olive green hooded cloak over a white-blue shirt with white sleeves and with some golden lines with a brown line around the middle of the sleeves and shirt, white trousers with brown boots with a golden line around them. She wears a light green cloth around her neck and wears black gloves on her hands. She carries a large white bow on her back with a quiver of arrows.
"Oh, so you're the one that's following us." Silver said as he stared intently at the girl.
"To avoid any confusion." Kirino sighed as she closed her eyes "I am in fact male, before you can ask any questions regarding my gender."
In response, the boy was quiet for a few seconds before his eyes widened and his jaw dropped comically in shock as he shouted "WHAT!?" in disbelief.
The second-year student on the roof was not a she, but a he.
"B-But how!?" The black-haired boy thought in disbelief, the fact that Kirino had an extremely girlish appearance, especially the face, did not help matters.
Valerie did not seem shocked nor surprised by the reveal as she was curious instead.
"Why are you here?" The hidden girl asked stepping forward "Is this a part of the initiation."
"You are correct that this is indeed a part of your initiation." The pink-haired boy nodded "As for why I am here, that is because the headmaster assigned me to test you two as another form of test."
With that said, he immediately pulled out his bow and loaded an arrow as he aimed at the sky.
"Prepare yourselves." Amano ordered as a glyph appeared in front of the arrow, before he released it as the arrow itself passed through the glyph and transformed into one made of aura as it split itself into many at once.
Seeing the incoming attack, Valerie quickly snapped her partner out of his stupor by slapping him lightly in the cheek.
"We have to move!" She said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards one of the buildings to avoid getting shot.
Shizuka and Riley
The two students were passing through another part of the abandoned city, until Shizuka felt something run down her spine.
"Riley, there's someone here." The blue-haired girl said quietly as it got the boy's attention.
"What do you mean by that?" Riley asked, before a giggle can be heard out of nowhere.
"The girl is right, nya." A new voice said as a girl casually walked out one of the buildings "The headmaster assigned me to test the both of you, nya."
"Who are you?" The gray-haired boy stepped, reaching out for his weapon.
"Oh right, I didn't introduce myself yet, nya." The girl bowed politely at them before introducing herself "My name is Yuuki Sakurako and I'm a member of Team KYNO (Kayano) and your senpai, nya."
Yuuki has long bright blonde hair that is tied into a ponytail with a black bow as an accessory for it, bright blue eyes and a fair complexion. She has a petite build with a small bust, and has a long cat tail that is the same color as her hair.
She is wearing a dark blue jacket over a light blue sundress with a flower design, and white thigh-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a black belt around her dress that carries a box of cards.
"Senpai?" Shizuka said tilting her head.
"It means I'm your upperclassman, nya." Yuuki said smiling "Himura-kun's way of addressing others is so fun, so I'm doing the same like him, nya."
"Are you here to test us?" Riley asked bluntly, still having his serious expression.
The blonde pouted slightly at the tone he used "Can I get your names, because I didn't listen to Glynda-sensei telling me your names, while the others did, nya."
"Our names?" The blue-haired girl said, but shook her head "If that's what you want, then my name is Shizuka Aoki."
"Riley White." Her partner followed.
She smiled happily at names being given, "To answer what Riley-chan just said, nya." The girl said brightly, cue eye twitch from the boy "I'm also here to test you for your initiation, nya." her expression then turned stoic "Aoki-san, you and your partner must be ready now."
In response, Aoki pulled out her dust rifle and Riley pulls out a combat knife of sorts.
Yuuki closed her eyes as she pulled out a card from the box as the card itself started to glow with her aura which is light blue. Her aura envelops her body as her appearance had changed.
The girl was now wearing a white long-sleeve coat with a blue collar over a dark blue long-sleeve dress. The skirt is sky blue with a white trim, and now wears black leggings with dark-gray diamonds that cover the sides of the legs and black heels. The coat appears to have a flower-like pattern with 3 petals, and has 2 ribbons attached to it. Her hair was let down and was held back by a white headband, with her tail hidden inside her skirt.
She stared at the two students, both of which had surprised expressions though the boy's was well-hidden.
"I will advance." The blonde summons dual pistols with her aura and starts shooting.
Jaune and Pyrrha
"How long are we gonna walk in this place?" The blonde asked, getting slightly anxious of his surroundings.
"I believe it won't be long now." His partner was quick to reassure him.
"Then you don't have to worry about a thing now that I'm here." A new voice said, which surprised them.
"Who said that?" Jaune asked in alarm.
Pyrrha simply pulls out her weapons in response.
"Jeez, I'm not gonna hurt you." The voice spoke again, this time it came from one of the buildings "Though the headmaster told me to test you guys, so I'll hurt you just a bit."
With those words spoken, a girl walks out of the building she's in.
"Yo!" The girl did a peace sign while grinning "The name's Natalie Lane, and I'm a member of Team KYNO (Kayano), and your upperclassman."
Natalie has short black hair that's styled into a boyish pixie cut, dark brown eyes and a slightly tanned complexion. She has a slightly muscular physique with visible muscles on her arms, but she was fairly well-endowed in her own right.
She wears a gray vest over a sleeveless white dress shirt that exposed parts of her cleavage, black leather pants and black leather boots. The girl also wore red bandanna around her head as it covered her forehead, as well as black fingerless gloves. She carries a large gun on her back, and wears a belt that carried various handguns and blades.
"Any questions?" Natalie asked the two students.
"Yes." The redhead raised her hand "You said that the headmaster has informed you to test us, what do you mean by that?"
"Oh that, it's part of your initiation, duh." The short-haired girl answered the question like it was the most obvious answer in the world "That reminds me, you two better ready yourselves 'cuz I'm not gonna go easy."
Jaune immediately pulled out his sword and pointed it at her, though his legs were shaking badly.
Natalie grinned wildly as she activates her aura which is dark brown in color, as the rocks from her surroundings gathered and piled onto each other as they created a rock golem.
"I'm not gonna do it by myself though." She said, smirking "That would be unfair, right?"
The two students braced themselves for the attacks that will come.
Ren and Nora
"Nora!" The boy called out as he finally caught up with his best friend.
"Ren, you're here!" The ginger haired girl exclaimed happily as she ran towards him and pulled him into a tight hug "Can you please help me?"
The black-haired boy sighed as his friend released him from the hug "What is it, Nora?"
"I'm seeing weird things and someone keeps laughing at me every time I don't hit them with my hammer." Nora explained in a surprisingly timid voice "Can you make the laughing go away?"
As if on cue, laughing comes out of nowhere, until it stopped as a voice spoke "Oh man, looks like my fun's over now that you two are together."
"See!" The girl pointed accusingly at the voice "Someone's laughing at me."
"Sorry about that, you look easy to mess with." The voice chuckled lightly "I'll come out if it makes you feel better."
After those words were spoken, a boy comes out of the shadows as he smirked at the two students.
"May I ask of your name?" Ren asked in a reserved manner.
"Introductions already?" The boy did a mock pout "But I wanna make some friends to play with~!"
"Nope!" Nora shook her head as she sent the boy an accusatory glare "Tell us who you are or I'll break your legs, Mr. Laughing Voice!"
"Hey, I was just playing around." The boy raised his arms in a placating manner "I'll tell you my name, if you put down the hammer."
The ginger-haired girl was about to respond, until her childhood friend placed a hand on her shoulder and shook his head, indicating that he's telling her that she should be nice.
In response, the girl puts the hammer on her back and allows herself to listen to what the boy had to say.
"Thank you." The boy smiled as he placed his hands behind his back "For starters, my name is Onyx Kearney and I'm a part of Team KYNO (Kayano), which is led by my girly team leader, Kirino." he smiled at them as he did a mock salute "Furthermore, I'm your senpai!"
Onyx has short spiked black hair with fox ears of the same color, but they have a bit of white on the tips of the ears, sharp dark gray eyes and a slightly pale complexion. He has an average build, but had some muscles on his arms and legs.
He wears a long black jacket with a white fur-trimmed hood over a gray v-neck t-shirt, black jeans and dark gray leather shoes. The boy also wore a belt around his hips that carries twin blades and a couple of throwing knives.
"Senpai, what's that?" Nora asked as she tilted her head in confusion.
"That's what Makoto and Yuuki would say in describing us upperclassmen." Onyx explained shrugging "Though they would also use that to address our upperclassmen."
"What are your intentions for being here?" Ren asked, getting straight to the point.
"My intentions?" The black-haired faunus smirked "The headmaster sent me and my team to test you guys in this place, though we're all split up and I'm assigned to test the both of you."
"So I take it that this is part of our initiation as well." The boy said reaching out for his weapons.
"That's pretty much the gist of it." Onyx shrugged, before smirking as his aura flared which was light gray in color "Since both of you are here now, you have to go through me first if you wanna get those relics."
"That's it?" Nora grabbed her hammer with a cheerful grin "Okay!"
She quickly came forward with the intention to hit her upperclassman with her hammer, but the said upperclassman saw the attack coming from a mile away and simply jumped backwards.
"If you want to break my legs." The fox faunus taunted "Then you have to catch me first."
Emerald Forest
Ruby and Kiyoshi
The silver-eyed girl was separated from her partner as she continued to avoid getting hit by the beams of aura.
"Those beams may not have the amount of power to kill." She observed the beams as she kept running "But I can tell that they can cause some real damage to us, though not fatally."
With those thoughts in mind, she transferred her aura into her legs before jumping into a tall tree and lands on one of it's branches.
"I have to find Kiyoshi, so we can-" Her thoughts were cut off as another portal appeared out of nowhere, as it shot another aura beam from behind the tree the girl was taking cover in.
Panicking slightly, Ruby jumps off the branch as she used her aura to create another rope so she could perform the same tactic she used to land from being dropped from an airship.
"I have to find a way to lose them fast." The girl thought as she proceeded to use her blades to deflect some of the beams, while searching for her partner.
To be continued ...
Man, this chapter took long to write, but I'm proud of it. I hope you're prepared for some action in the next chapter along with some insight into the headmaster's choice of assigning the second-year students to test the first-years. Bye, and don't forget to leave a review!
Introduced OCs: Doreen, Nagisa, Travis, Kirino, Yuuki, Natalie and Onyx
