We're off to see the wizard XD

Standing to the right with a subtle glare to team CRDL as Goodwitch and Ozpin stood/sat before them, Ozpin was busy with his scroll while Glynda kept sparing V looks, it took all of V to not let his cheeks redden at their previous spar beforehand, clenching his Cane to keep his anger of Cardin his main focus, the snarl of an angered Shadow made the team flinch as Ozpin looked up from his scroll with a slow inhale.

"Team CRDL… Do you wish to inquire as to why you are here?" turning to the team of cowards, Cardin tried a vain attempt to steel his nerves, it was Sky that spoke with an accusing finger to V.

"He attacked us without cause!" giving the team a look of neutriality, Ozpin spoke.

"Than can you explain as to why I have just witnessed you four harassing a second year student that I am proud to have here" standing up with his eyes narrowed slightly, the cowards froze as Ozpin held his scroll to show security footage of the four pulling violently on Velvet's ears, until it showed V and his demon summons approaching.

Setting the scroll on his desk as he leaned on it, he held his desk tightly.

"I have the right mind to expel you four of you because of this act of cowardice to a fellow Huntress in training, from this point you all will attend every detention from every faculty member in this school, you used a warning, the next show of ignorance and arrogance will lead to all you're expulsion… am I understood" seeing the four nod hastily, Ozpin waved them to the elevator.

"Than go on with you're studies, but do not harass anyone else, or you will get expelled immediately" seeing the four run to the elevator, V stood calmly at attention as Ozpin turned to him with his eyes softening up into a proud stare.

"I See Jacques arrogance hasn't corrupted all of his children, how Aurora puts up with him is beyond me" letting out a chuckle at the insult to his father, V shrugged.

"He who desires but act not, breeds pestilence." Seeing Ozpin perk an eyebrow up, V spoke.

"Unlike my father, I am not blinded by greedy arrogance towards Faunus because I saw how unfairly they are treated by the populace, it did good that my girlfriend was a Faunus otherwise I would have turned a blind eye" rubbing his thumb between the Cane's ornament ears, Ozpin blinked as it let out a dull glow with a pleased rumble before V perked up suddenly.

"Can I also ask a question that has been plaguing my mind upon arrival" seeing the two share a look, Ozpin gestured for him to speak.

"What is it I'm sensing beneath the school, My familiar Griffon had stated it when we arrived at the Emerald Forest, I was hoping you could answer my question" seeing Ozpin staring at him with an alarmed look, Glynda had a frown of worry before Ozpin Spoke.

"By what do you mean sense?"

"Well, I can sense whatever it is, is in pain by the fluctuating energy around it, and the fact that-" stopping in surprise on his face as his senses reached outward, V blinked at a very familiar aura in the far distance, causing him to turn his head to the right with a frown.

"Nero?" hearing this Griffon appeared beside V with a look of excitement.

"The brat is here, well what do you know"

Upon hearing Ozpin and Glynda speaking in hushed tones, Ozpin sighed while turning to V with a no nonsense look.

"What we're about to show you, must remain in this office, am I understood" hearing the seriousness, V looked down before giving a nod.

"You have my word whatever it is you're hiding I will not divulge to others" nodding to the answer, Ozpin led the two to the elevator.

"Tell me, Victor, What is you're favourite fairy tale?"

Hours later

Lying down on his bed in thought, V held Emerald close in deep thought as his mind stayed to what he was shown.

Stepping into the room after Ozpin and Glynda, V's eyes widened in shock at the sight of a woman held in a pod.

It was when he approached did he feel her pain when he touched the glass.

Wincing at the memory as he held Emerald, he stared to the ceiling before he heard the voice of Jaune and Ruby out in the hallway, frowning he gently moved Emerald to the side he stepped out of bed to approach the door, reaching for the handle the voice of Jaune stopped him.

"I messed up. I did something I shouldn't have, and now Cardin has me on a leash, and Pyrrha won't even talk to me, and..." narrowing his eyes at Cardin's name, V leant against the door to listen before stepping in.

"I'm starting to think coming to this school was a bad idea." Moving quickly to open the door, V saw the two team leaders with jaune's head hanging in defeat.

"I'm a failure."

"False" seeing the two turn to him as he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, he noticed Ruby blush at his exposed upper body, he gave a look down to see his sweat pants still present he looked up to Jaune who frowned in confusion.

"I, what?"

"To call yourself a failure, is a sign of giving in to cowardice, your strategies against others has also been a factor to your own skills, your ability to look at a fight and come up with possible strategies even makes me envious of your mind" giving Jaune a genuine praise, the blonde knight had the decency to blush while Ruby smiled at him.

"Gee, V, Thanks, for that I mean, not every day someone gets praise form a Schnee" giving the blonde a shrug V spoke once more.

"With such intelligence you rise in the world. You get ranked ahead or behind others in regard to your competence in retaining information. You stroll with this intelligence in and out of fields of knowledge, getting always more marks on your preserving tablets." Smiling at the looks he got, Victor spoke.

"The more knowledge you gain, the further you are then others, Something which Cardin lacks through all his muscle" seeing Jaune cringe at the name, V frowned in suspicion.

"What has Cardin done?" seeing the blonde look up in panic V's own eyes widened before he raised his left hand calmly.

"Calm down, it was a simple question, I know what Cardin has done to others, myself included, you're his latest victim before Miss Scarlatina" seeing the teen give Ruby a look he went silent before he sighed in defeat, giving V a look Jaune slid down the wall.

"I'm not cut out for this place, its just a matter of time before my secret is out now that Cardin knows" giving Juane a frown of worry, V and Ruby joined him by his sides.

"The truth is, I faked my Transcripts to get to Beacon" giving a calm look, V only saw the determination Jaune had, While Ruby had a conflicted look as Jaune continued.

"I just wanted to be like my grandfather and my dad, but unlike them, my sisters got all their traits and skills, and I got nothing" giving Jaune a raised brow, V placed a reassuring hand on his head, making Jaune and Ruby look to his smiling face.

"You didn't get nothing from you're heritage, You got the mind of a strategist that no doubt would give my sister a run for her lien…" Looking forward V sat back with a smile.

"You remind me of someone I knew, Jaune" giving the enigmatic Hunter in training their full attention.

"He started with nothing, and yet, he prospered even when the world was against him, even though his goals were questionable… he never gave up on what he strived for, I can see him in you… the good part I mean, just… don't go craving for power on us okay?" giving a chuckle at the odd tale, Jaune frowned as he turned to V.

"Who was this person you knew, if you don't mind me asking?" looking to the ceiling as Shadow appeared and curled up against Ruby, V spoke one name that he would remember forever.

"… Vergil"
