AN: Hello all, It's ME back with a very talk-heavy chapter… … … YEAH, the only thing I'm worse at writing are romance scenes and I haven't written any of those, hope for the best, pray it's not awful, hope you like this chapter.
POV Ozpin a few minutes before they arrive
Ozpin is sitting at his desk finishing the last of the paper work under the ever-watchful eye of Glynda Goodwitch, signing the last paper Ozpin puts it onto the pile of other paper before putting his pen down and using his Aura to massage his sore wrist.
Looking to Glynda as she picks up the and carries it over to a box on the side and putting it in all using her semblance, once the lid on the box is on Ozpin asks "Is that all for today?"
Glynda turns around with a dark smile which sends shivers down his spine before she lightens her smile and answers "For the paperwork, yes, but we still have one more item on the agenda"
As Ozpin is about to ask he hears the elevator come to life as if goes down, looking to Glynda with a raised eyebrow he asks "I guess that answer the first question, know who am I meeting" Glynda just smiles at him.
It doesn't take long for the lift to arrive before the door opens he focus his sense and finds two Aura of above average strength, one Aura that is above those two but what really catches his attention if the fourth Aura that over shadows all of them by a large amount.
(To let the readers, know Rai has not stopped with his aura suppressing and has it down to the level of a fourth-year huntsmen naturally Ozpin can see past that to what his full Aura is because his Ozpin can't say anything else on that)
Once the doors open he sees four people walk out the first is Qrow and the first thing he notices is the hole in his coat and the scar, the second person is one he hoped not to see for a little longer Lily Azura, he hides his stiffness behind a calm smile, the third is her counterpart Alcatesh thinking 'Hopefully she can keeper under control'
The fourth and final person to walk out the elevator with Qrow is a short fox Faunus boy the features that stand out to him are the silver right eye and Gold and silver left eye, the Red hair that end in silver which his ears and tail match in colour and finally his clothes which are fairly normal with the colour of red, silver, black and some gold, lastly the cloak the boy is wearing, which is a red cloak with silver lightning raining down from the top to bottom with the edges having a gold colour to them, putting some focus using his Aura he is surprised to find the boy in the one with the overshadowing Aura and he can see the cloak has some dust fused within it.
He smiles and says "It's good to see you made it here" before turning to Qrow and glaring at him slightly while asking "What happened to you?" he hears Qrow respond with a sheepish chuckle.
Giving a small sigh and looking back at the group of three 'Wait, three, Qrow, the boy, and Alcatesh… where's' he doesn't get to finish his thought as he hears from his left and stiffens "Hello Ozzy, it's been a, while hasn't it? Not that I mind what you-" she is unable to finish speaking as Alcatesh drags her by the back of her collar back to the rest of the group while he thinks 'How did she get there?' before shaking it off and addressing the group once more, "It has been a while, now Qrow could you Introduce us to your young friend"
He sees Qrow nod as he speaks "Sure, Professor Ozpin I would like you to meet Rai Zilar, Rai this is the Headmaster of Beacon Academy and to his right is Professor Goodwitch"
Turning to Look at Rai Ozpin says "Hello"
And Glynda follows suit by saying "Hello, Rai"
He sees Rai node and hears him say "Nice to meet you, sir, ma'am"
Turning to look at Glynda he sees a small smile on her face, turning back to the group he says "come take a seat" as he taps a little on the desk as the floor opens and four chairs come out, he waits until they are all seated and raises an eyebrow when Rai sits on Qrow's lap, leaving the fourth chair empty which Glynda moves over to her and takes a seat as well.
Looking at the four of them before asking Lily and Alcatesh "How much do you know about what's happened?"
He sees the to look between themselves before Alcatesh answers "Not a hole a lot"
He nodes before turning to Qrow and Rai and asks "Qrow if you and Rai could explain what happened for the rest of us"
He sees Qrow nod before speaking "Sure thing, I'll start at the beginning, I was returning to Vale after completing my mission, and was walk through the woods on the path but had to camp for the night, luck was not with me and had trouble getting firewood" everyone but Rai grimaces when Qrow mentions luck as they have all had the misfortune of experiencing it first hand, Qrow continues "After searching for some time I felt something off and heard thunder from the distance on a clear day. Looking to the sources of the sound to see silver lightning shooting through the woods, until Rai tripped on a branch" at that last part everyone, but Rai who sits there confused, stares at Qrow, who pointedly ignores them "he ends up tumbling I went and caught him but slid back several feet" Qrow takes a breath and pulls of the canteen of water (it's fresh water) and taking a drink, everyone raise an eyebrow, Qrow just shrugs before speaking once more "Once I caught Rai he fell unconscious, I could feel a large amount of Aura flowing out from him, after setting up camp and realized I would be in for a long night and I was right having to fight several packs of lesser Grimm, in the morning I called you professor and informed you what happened" take this time to look at the others.
Ozpin looks at the four and sees the looks of confusion on the three ladies faces while they looked at Rai, he spoke up saying "Rai you can release all your Aura it won't be sensed outside this room" looking at Rai he sees the surprised look on his face and sees him look up at Qrow who nods.
Suddenly the Aura that everyone fleet from Rai that was once at the level of a civilian jumped and skyrocketed before stopping at the level of a veteran hunter with more than fifteen years of experiences, (The Aura's of this Remnant work differently to RWBY's more on that at a later date) everyone including Ozpin and expect Qrow were very surprised by the amount of Aura he has, Ozpin nodes and says Quickly "You can suppress it again" and with that the overwhelming Aura shrink back down to a civilian's level.
They sit there in silence for some time before Alcatesh speaks "That… was surprising"
Ozpin studies Rai for a bit and starts to see that a worried and a little fearful look is slowly creeping onto his face and speaks calmly "Rai, don't worry no one here fears you, I believe that everyone was just surprised at how much Aura you have" he sees that some of the worry and fearfulness fade, Ozpin looks to the other and all confirm what he said which gets rid of the rest of the fear and worry.
"Qrow can you continue or is Rai ready to start his side?" Ozpin asks and sees Rai shake his head
Qrow nodes and starts by saying to Rai "Take your time" before he continues "Rai did wake up but no for very long, we weren't attacked by any Grimm until sunset when a Greater Grimm attacked us"
Ozpin nodes saying "The Abyss Beowulf, right" he sees Qrow nod
Lily and Alcatesh both look surprised but say nothing and Qrow continues "After killing it I informed you about it, it was some time in the morning that Rai woke up and that I learned about his name and who his family is or was"
Ozpin sees Rai Grab hold of Qrow coat before speaking "I-I think I'm ready to talk"
Ozpin nodes saying "When you're ready"
He sees and hears Rai take a depth breath calming himself before speaking "I Grew up in a village to the east of Vale, hidden very deep in the forest"
Ozpin Turns to Glynda and nodes, turning back to Rai he asks "Can you point it out on a map?" as a map of the Continent is pulled up
Rai looks at the map for some time before pointing at a spot roughly two weeks' journey from Vale for a hunter and says "Around there"
Ozpin nodes and says "Thank you, as you were saying"
He sees Rai nod before continuing "I was sitting out on my family's favourite spot until just before midday" Rai's voices starts to creak with tears starting to fall "I started to hear screams from the village, and run to my family's house, I-I Saw so many Grimm of various types. Until I got to our home, I saw m-mom and da-dad fighting of two Grimm each, but… but a fifth was chasing my sister" Rai falls silent and Ozpin sees Qrow pull Rai close and comforts him.
They all wait silently for several minutes as Rai slowly calms down, Rai regaining some of his composure Continues (Not good when it comes to broken words forgive me) "I run to-towards my si-sister but… the Gr-Grimm got t-to her first and… and clawed at her back, sh-she fell and then I felt som-some-something break within me and I charged the Grimm" Small sparks of lightning start to circle around Rai, Ozpin looks to Qrow
Qrow Calmly pulls towards him and Strokes his head whispering calming words to him, after a few seconds the lightning slowly starts to dissipate, once it's gone Rai speaks "Sorry" everyone waves it away saying "It's fine" and Rai continues "I-I charged the Grimm and once I hit it, I stopped and it went flying, I-I kn-knelt down next to my sister and held her, I… I listened to her last words and tock her symbol to remember her" Showing Lillian's symbol "Af-after that my mo-mom and da-dad told me to run and gave me their Symbols and I ran until I ran into uncle Qrow"
Everyone pauses and does a double take with Ozpin asking "Uncle Qrow?"
Qrow nodes and answers shortly "Yes" and Ozpin single to explain, he sees Qrow nod and speak once more "It was the day after Rai woke up, and we were resting after testing out Rai's semblance, we heard footsteps of to the right and soon saw forty-four Scrappers, which Rai recognized as one of the types that attacked his village, I manage to kill forty-three but the last one got past and went to attack Rai, but he was able to stop it with an Aura shield before I finished it and I said 'Uncle here'" There were mixed reactions Ozpin and Glynda was surprised by the number of Scrappers while Lily and Alcatesh happy for Rai.
Ozpin sits and thinks for a short while before speaking "I see, what happened after that"
Qrow finishes taking a drink from the canteen of water and answers "After that Rai fell asleep and I carried him until we reached the Hunters Inn and we stayed the night, and as for this" he says pointing to the scar "Rai was having a nightmare and I got zapped helping him, would I do it again, yes" Qrow looks down a Rai and finishes "Do I blame him no"
Ozpin and the rest stare at him until he says "I'm guessing you two joined them after that, right?" and he sees them nod and continues "Rai can you tell us what Type of Faunus you are?" he sees Rai freeze
Lily, Alcatesh, and Glynda all look at Ozpin in surprise with Lily asking "Are you saying that he's not a fox Faunus?" He nods to the question
He opens his mouth to answer but Rai asks all of them "Ho-how much do you know about the war two hun-hund 'hundred', yes thank you, two hundred years ago?"
There were various responses Ozpin Answers "I know what led up to it and how it ended" Lily, Alcatesh, and Glynda all answer "I know about it, but not what it is" Qrow answers "Is it the one that causes one of the Faunus races to go extinct?" Ozpin sees Rai nod towards Qrow responses and sees him hop down to the floor before walking a few feet to the side.
Rai turns and looks at them before speaking "I am the last Kitsune" as he unwraps his nine tails, there were several different responses to what Rai revealed. (Rai's family did tell him his heritage cheek chapter four I think)
Lily is Frozen completely surprised by it, Alcatesh is sitting there in silence just looking at Rai, Glynda is looking to Ozpin for an explanation, Qrow is sitting there with a sorrowful look on his face and Ozpin looks at Rai for once in a long time unsure how to respond.
Qrow stands and walks over to Rai and pull him into a hug, before picking him up and moving back to his chair and sitting down then looking at Ozpin asks "Can you tell us about this war?"
Ozpin slowly takes a sip of his coffee and answers "The war two hundred years ago, was called 'The Kitsune War' and the reason it started was out of fear for the Kitsune Faunus, it started several years before the actual war. The strongest Huntress at the time was a Kitsune and very battle ended a destroyed area, people both humans and Faunus alike started to fear her and her kind and after many years of planning they started their plan because the CCT wasn't built yet news travelled slowly by the time Kitsunes found out more than half of them were killed with their families, this caused them to fight back and started the ten years long war and by the final half year of the war there was only one left which was the huntress. She runs for most of the final half year until they cornered her in now is the desert between Vale and Vacuo the battle lasted for a full week before it ended with her walking away fatally wounded were she left for no one knows, it is one of greatest mistakes they made, starting the war that is"
Looking over the Group Ozpin asks "Did that help everyone catch up?"
He sees everyone nod except Alactesh who raises a hand and asks "I'm confused, is she was the last how come Rai is a Kitsune?" all eyes turn to Rai who shrinks into Qrow at the sudden attention while pulling his tails to cover him, which cause two responses the first is everyone but Lily looked a little ashamed and the second was Lily awing at what Rai did.
Ozpin giving a cough to get everyone's attention "We don't need to worry about that, for now, Rai with the amount of Aura you have you'll need someone to teach you we ha-"
Rai interrupts Ozpin by saying "Uncle Qrow"
Ozpin raise an eyebrow and asks "You want Qrow to teach you?" he sees Rai nod his head and Ozpin looks to Qrow and asks "Are you okay with that?"
Ozpin sees Rai look up at Qrow with puppy dog eyes and he saw Qrow make the mistake of looking at Rai, he hears a small sigh and Qrow answer with a smile "I don't see why not"
Lily, Glynda, and Alactesh all had the mouths open not expecting that answer, Ozpin could see Glynda start to have a frown as he knew the amount of time she went through putting a list of possible huntsmen/huntresses that could teach Rai.
Looking at Qrow, Ozpin asks "I guess will be on a break from missions, right?" he sees Qrow nod and asks the four "What will you be doing now?"
The three look between each other before Lily answers "I would like to Rai about Cobalt and Sapphire" Ozpin looks to Alcatesh to her thoughts and she answers "The same as Lily" Ozpin looks to Qrow who answers "I need new clothes for both me and Rai and then we'll head to Patch to inform Taiyang, after Rai has done what he wants"
Finally, he looks at Rai who answers softly "I want to see what happened with my village"
Ozpin's face saddens as he asks "Despite knowing the answers?" he sees Rai nod and sighs before speaking "okay I have a plan you, First I'll get a Bullhead for us to take too Rai's village, while I'm doing that Qrow will go pick up some new clothes while Rai waits here and talks with Lily and Alcatesh with Glynda watching over them, does that sound good?"
They all nod with Rai being a little hesitant than the rest, with that Ozpin stands saying "It'll take about an hour to get one ready to travel that far" and heads to the elevator.
Qrow puts Rai down and says "Don't worry, I'll pick you up something on the way back" and ruffles his hair before taking the elevator with Ozpin
AN: I did not realize how quickly this chapter went, I hope I did a good job with it, for those who wonder why Rai revealed his past, it's because he felt he could trust them and he was worried about them fearing him a little, Well until next time.
