Beacons Huntsman from Earth

Hello fellow RWBY fans. Thank you for taking the time to read this chapter. I hope you enjoy

Also a bit of an announcement 'The Conduit of Remnant' will be updated eventually, I just need time to finish up the chapter I was rewriting due to my shitty computer losing files... fuck me. Plus if i'm being honest I have also been putting it off just so I can focus on this one. But to those who are waiting for a new chapter on that story, it will be posted I just can't guarantee how soon. Thanks.

Chapter 12: Training sucks!

~Ruby POV~

"Ah Man! I fell asleep again," I groaned. This was the third time I slept through one of Port's lectures. I dragged myself throughout the hall to get to the next class that was being held by Prof. Peach. I had plenty of time to make it there, even though I forgot one of my textbooks in Port's classroom and ran all the way back to get it.

I walked at my own pace, knowing that by the time I make it at this rate, I will still have two minutes to spare. Though someone in the hallway caught my attention. It was none other than Velvet, walking down my way. She spotted me, waving hello. I waved back. "Hi Ruby," she greeted. "Hey Velvet, hows it going?" The faunus replied. "I am doing well. Thanks for asking."

"Are you heading to Port's class?" I asked. "Yep," she answered. "Well, I hope your ready to be bored out of your mind... again." Velvet laughed a little. "Yeah but if you actually listen to his stories you might actually get a lesson out of it." I replied. "I guess I'll try to stay up next time. As soon as he starts talking though Yang and Tristan are already knocked out. It's just as hard to wake Tristan up there as it was this morning" I wasn't exaggerating either, I had to bring out my whistle again, and boy was he not happy.

My thoughts were interrupted by Velvet asking me something. "U-um speaking of Tristan. There's something I want to ask you." I nodded my head. "Is it weird having him live in the same room with you and three other girls?" What Velvet asked made me stop and think a bit. "Weird in what way?" Velvet tried to be specific. "I don't know. Like does it give off an uncomfortable air to the room?"

It was true that one guy in a room full of girls would be awkward. Before I left for Beacon, my dad kept advising me to make sure to have Yang on my team or at least be on a team with one more girl if possible. But Tristan doesn't really seem like those kinds of guys my dad always warned me about. "Well it was awkward at first for the first few days. But then we set ground rules for Tristan," I explained.

Velvet was intrigued. "Ground rules?" I nodded. "Yep, like he is to change clothes in the bathroom, whenever we change clothes, he is to wait outside the room. He also has to keep his belongings away from ours and must always keep his bed made. Weiss made the last two rules," I told her. She looked impressed. "Wow it looks like you have everything settled. But how is he as a person?"

"Well Tristan is nice. He can be snarky at times, but that's mostly towards Weiss. He acts like a brother sometimes." I spoke my thoughts. Velvet then brought back some recent memories. "Was the cafeteria incident Tristan cause on purpose cause rumors are saying that he did?" I shook my head. "No he just slipped was all. Yang forgave him for the ketchup problem. Speaking of which, I wonder when those three replacement tables are coming in?"

We both ended up laughing at the memory of Yang's tantrum. Then a thought came out. "Say, Velvet? Why did you want to know about him?" Velvet had a hint of red in her cheeks for some reason as she responded. "U-uh, no reason. I was just curious was all." I thought her reaction was weird. But I didn't have time when I checked on my scroll and found out that I had less than a minute to get to Prof. Peach's class. "Oh no I have to go! Bye Velvet!" I didn't wait for a response as I used my semblance to speed through the halls and prayed that the bell doesn't ring.

~After school~

"Gahh!" My scream filled the arena as I flew backwards by several yards. After hitting the wall I laid on the ground, slowly trying to get back up. Good news it wasn't as painful as it should have been thanks to Ozpin's aura training. Bad news was that it still hurt like hell. Not to mention to add insult to injury, the person who sent me flying was none other than my bunny trainer, Velvet. Why is this insult to injury? Cause out of the whole week I spent getting lessons, I've known her to be shy, timid, and always wanting to avoid conflict. So it just stings that I'm getting my ass handed to me by someone so... delicate.

"You need a hand?" She asked extending her arm to me. I took a hold and she helped me up. "I can't help but feel like this is payback for making you cry," I suspected. The brunette shook her head no. "It's not I swear. I'm just trying to help you get stronger. Anyways your skills have improved since the first time we sparred." I just muttered "Really?" I wondered if what she said was true cause I didn't really see a difference in my physical skills I haven't even found out what my semblance is yet. I was told that the semblance would represent the aspect of their character. So what would mine be and what would it say about me?

I hope it would be something cool, but then again, I already have powerful magic on my side. Would I really need a semblance at this point since I already somewhat control lightning and command wind. My thoughts were interrupted at this point by the second year. "Yes, you're putting much more force into your strikes and you seem to be increasing in speed as well. Though, your reflexes are still a little sloppy."

That totally didn't sting at all. "Well at least I'm doing decent for a guy who's never picked up a gun. Right?" Velvet just looked at the ground. "Well. Decent enough," she outright told me. The criticism only continued. "You still need to handle your weapons better. Otherwise your just leaving yourself open to anything." As much as I wanted to call it quits we still have half an hour till our training session (more like her just tossing me around like a rag doll) is over. But then I decided. "Let's take a break. I just need a moment to catch my breath."

Velvet nodded in agreement and as soon as she did, I purposely collapsed on my ass. I tried to take deep breaths. My asthma wasn't a real problem but I don't wanna risk it getting worse. The last asthma attack I had was nearly five years ago. But rather than sitting in the bleacher area like a normal person, Velvet just sat down a few feet across from me with a light giggle.

There was a level of awkward silence, so I tried break the ice. "I guess while we're on break. Why don't you tell me about yourself?" I asked. Velvet showed her typical shy expression. "Why would you want know about me?" she questioned with both her fingertips touching. I rubbed my head. "Well, it would be weird for two friends to not know much about each other, don't you think. We never really talk much since we mostly spend the time with you kicking my ass. So what do you say?"

Velvet finally showed a smile and opened up. "I don't really know where to start... I was born in Menagerie where my parents worked as farmers. By the time I was nine, my parents moved to 'Berra' on the far east side of Sanus." If I slacked off with my studies, I would've have known nothing of what she just said.

Thankfully, since i did bother to read what I could out of the school's massive textbook, I managed to memorize some parts of the geography of Remnant. Menagerie was a small continent that was under another continent where Mistral resides (the name of Mistral's continent was one of the things I couldn't remember). And Berra had to be east of Vale since it rests on the far east side of our continent.

She continued. "I'm also an only child. I've always wanted an adorable little sister or brother." I straight up admitted. "If you want a cute little sibling then that's what Ruby's for. The girl's about as innocent and helpless as a newborn pup." It was then I realized what just I told her. Velvet snickered, holding in her laughter at how I feel about the little reaper.

I panicked a little. Who knows what would happen if she were to find out that I called her a helpless pup. She may look fragile, but I've seen what she can do with that giant weapon. "Please don't tell her that I said that. The last thing I want is for her scythe gun aimed at me," I hastily said. She just made the 'My lips are sealed' gesture by pretending to zip up her lips and throwing away the key.

I sighed. "Thanks. Is there anything you like in particular?" It didn't take long for her to tell me. "I really like photography. Capturing every moment on camera when I have the chance is just a great feeling. I also like hanging out with my team, especially Coco. I love to read, bake and draw." I was impressed by the hobbies she takes part in. The photography and drawing ones definitely shows her artistic side.

Then Velvet spoke. "Can you tell me about yourself? Since I told you a little about me, it would be fair to do the same." Now I was caught off guard. I didn't know what to tell her. She had the an honest smile that would convince someone to not lie to her. Part of me wanted to tell her the truth but I'm not sure how'd she react. Would she laugh? Would she think I'm weird, or just downright crazy? But on the other hand would it matter? I remembered that Ozpin wants no one to know this "family secret" that he wants to keep hidden.

So instead I kept lying, trying to put some truth into it about myself. "I was born in a place called Staten Island. It was my home till I was twelve till my dad..." It pained me to mention him. How was I supposed to keep a straight face lying about my dad being alive? But I tried my best to keep it together. "...My dad got this new job offer, working with an old family friend, named Joe. Then we moved to Springdale."

Velvet asked. "Did you live in America your whole life?" I answered. "Until recently, yes." The Bunny girl nodded, but seemed nervous to ask. "I-is t-there anything else you like? like your hobbies?" Now that was a question I wouldn't mind answering. "I like to read magazines on classic cars from like the 50's and read books on history related stories. Ohh, and I'm a huge fan of anime."

That's when I noticed Velvet's ears perk up and she surprised me with the volume of her voice. "You like cartoons too!?" My mind was rattled. I really didn't expect her to practically yell with excitement like that. Even though every fiber of my being wanted to yell out that anime and cartoons are different, one word did stand out from her sentence. "Did you say 'too'?"

Next thing I knew, she started to shake and I could tell it was a nervous shake. "Please don't tell anyone, only Coco knows about that and that was how it was supposed to stay. You're not gonna tell anyone are you?" I looked into Velvet's eyes and I could clearly tell that she was on the verge of tears.

She really thought I was going to make fun of her for the fact that she still watches kids cartoons, and in all honesty, I probably would've if this it was someone else. But it wasn't someone else, so I knew I needed to make her feel better for her sake, and just as importantly, for mine too. If Coco were to hear about this, she would come after me with her briefcase. The first time I saw what was in that briefcase was the first time I literally almost shit my pants.

"Listen its okay. There is nothing wrong with that." Velvet sniffled upon hearing my words of comfort. "Really?" She asked in a low volume. I answered. "Yeah, I mean, everyone has something they like. Right?" Velvet seemed relieved to hear what I've said but I still sensed doubt within her smile. She spoke in between sniffles. "So, you'll keep this between us then?" I mimicked the same lip zipping motion she did earlier. Her smile was a relief to see.

"Good. It would've been bad if Coco found out that I almost cried a second time," She said as she chuckled, tears no longer forming. "You can still get back at me anytime you know?" Velvet seemed deep in thought, looking at the ground. She vaguely told me. "Well, I'll think of something." That was when I felt a chill down my spine. For some reason I felt that her payback was gonna be harsh and brutal and I have no idea why.

With that, my combat instructor checked the time on the clock that was suspended over the arena doors. We still had 22 min before our session is over, but Velvet suggested something else. "Why don't we just stop for today?" I nodded and got up as well. "You know, excluding the last topic, its been nice talking with you." I replied. "Yeah." Velvet checked the clock once again. "Its a good thing too. I need to meet up with my team to work on a project for Prof. Peach's class."

When Velvet turned and headed for the door leading out of the arena, I caught her attention once more. "We should talk again sometime. What do you say?" She just turned her head and said. "I wouldn't mind that." Then went back to the door and left the arena. I stood there, looking at the very exit she went through. She's an emotionally fragile girl and yet she is an immense ass whooper, not to mention a cute one at that. I definitely want to know about her more. My mind was startled back to reality when I received a message on my scroll. I pulled it out and saw that it was from... Ozpin. It read.

"You do realize you've been standing there for almost two minutes, correct? Anyways, please make your way to the school air docks for your aura/magic training. Don't worry about your team, I told them that I am simply borrowing you for an outing."

I said aloud. "Wait? Are you watching me?" I got another message.

"Yes. I wanted to check your progress. Like I said, please make your way to the docks, we are going on a trip."

I groaned and yelled out. "Your a weird Uncle, you know that?" One last time I received a message.

"I've been called worse. Now about those docks?"

"Okay, I'm going," I told the empty room, then left.

~RRWBY dorm room~

"Ugh! I can't believe Tristan is skipping out on our dust project," the Schnee heiress complained. "You heard what Prof. Ozpin said. Tristan is being taken for a small outing," Blake corrected. Yang and Weiss were setting up the cardboard layout for the project while Ruby and Blake were writing out the important uses for each type of dust.

"Don't you all find it weird how often he gets 'borrowed' though?" Ruby questioned. Yang's sly smirk was noticed. "Maybe he's receiving 'extra special' lessons from Ms. Goodwitch." The rest of the girls face-palmed at her dirty accusation. "I need to keep a vulgar jar for you to donate to, Yang." Ruby said. Yang however just laughed at her joke. "Well hopefully, Tristan will be back soon. I feel like this project is gonna be an all-nighter," Blake stated.

~Air docks~

Tristan followed his instructions that he received from his text. When he arrived, there was an airship with a certain someone standing on the ramp. That certain someone greeted him. "Perfect timing, Tristan." Tristan kinda greeted back. "Well hello, Uncle Stalker." Ozpin was a bit ticked by the nickname but didn't say a word.

"So what kind of training hell you gonna put me in today?" The boy asked. Ozpin explained. To put it simple, we are going to the 'Forever Falls' for further combat exercise." Tristan's calm expression turned into confusion. "Why are we doing that? I thought you were going to teach me to shoot lightning better or go 'flame on' or something." the headmaster just turned around and headed on board the ship and said. "Before we can continue that, we need to build up your physique. What's the point of your power if you don't have the muscle to back it up." Reluctantly, Tristan gave up and followed. "Fine." All in his mind was the two words. 'Fuck me.'
