Naruto sat on top of an old log, slowly allowing Mokuton to flow freely and give himself passive control of the plants nearby. Rexy was sitting near him; the blonde had placed The Desert Sun Lily in his hair. His semblance feeding it energy to sustain it.

"Mas…ter, they…are…ab…out…to…start." Rexy says as he walks over to Naruto, "we…should…go."

Naruto nods, getting up, before smiling as he looked up at the sun. "You know Rexy, this will be fun…yeah, let's go and learn how to save the world pal!"

"Yes…sir." Rexy gives a salute as he feels Naruto pat his back.

"Good boy, now c'mon, we've got people to make fun of us until we leave their jaws hanging!" Naruto exclaims with gusto as he jogs towards a door.

As he walks inside of the building, Naruto was greeted with magnificent colors and scenery. He looked around before noting the cathedrallike structure around him. Feeling the solid stone walls, Naruto takes a deep breath as he looked at Rexy. "Wow, right?"

"Yes," Rexy looks around before noticing several other students walking around, "mas…ter. Are…you…okay?"

"Yeah buddy, never better, just had to blow off some steam."

"Grimm!" A girl shouts as she holds up a suitcase, which slowly transforms into a minigun.

"Oh right…school of Hunters…well…RUN!" Naruto yells at Rexy as he follows him as bullets filled the hallway as they ran.

Naruto unsheathed Bahuubali and deflected any bullets that he heard getting too close to himself or Rexy while the girl gave chase. The blonde turned around seeing her being joined by two other people, a bunny eared girl who took a photo of the minigun and began to form a hardlight version of it.

"Oh you've got to be," Naruto looked down noticing the floor was wooden, "oh yeah…Mokuton."

Naruto stopped, turning around as he sheaths his sword and clasped his hands together, "Thick Wooden Wall!"

The floor erupted as wood exploded upwards, colliding with the ceiling as if it had been an auto lock door. Naruto sighs, before he looked at Rexy. "That was close, pretty sure they weren't informed of a Grimm being a partner of a student."

"Hehehe," Rexy chuckles, "ve…ry…fun…ny…mas…ter"

"Well we better go, don't wanna be late." Naruto exclaims before turning around to see a blonde haired woman glaring at him.

"Oh hi, are you a teacher here, look sorry about the whole wooden wall. Me and my buddy here were just walking when they mistook him for a bad Grimm and I sort of…had…to…erect…a…wall." Naruto trembled off as he looked into her eyes, she was mad.

"You must be Namikaze, the One Who Walks With Grimm?" The Woman asks, "not a bad semblance you got there."

"Oh, um, thanks…I guess."
"Tell me, can it also dematerialize that wall you created?"
"Um, well, sort of…but it'll make it fall to splinters."
"Please do so…because we both have to go that way for your entrance speech."
"En-entrance speech?"
"No, not you, it's basically Ozpin giving you all a speech. Now please, we're both late."

"Okay, I guess." Naruto raised his hand up which glowed green for a moment before the wall came down, only to reveal the active students standing there with weapons drawn.

"Mrs. Goodwitch! There's a Grimm behind you!" A tall boy yells as he points at Rexy, "you might wanna move Coco has her hand on the trigger!"

"Coco Adel, you will put your finger off that trigger and practice discipline this instant!" Glynda yells as she stumps her foot down, "this Grimm is under the control of a new potential student. If you all would be attentive to your classes you can clearly see that this Grimm is dressed and has tribal paintings."

Glynda presented Rexy to them, "and if you all have been my observant notice how this Grimm has blue eyes instead of the common red. Indication of some form of control, no longer of its free will, thus it is effectively a tamed threat."

Everyone looked at Rexy, nervousness took over, before Naruto walked up to the Beowulf with a smile before jumping on top of him. "Hey, guys, this is Rexy…and no he's not wanting to claw or maw you to death. He's just your friendly neighborhood doge!"

Some of the students looked at him with disgust before the crowd looked around, Glynda glares at them before raising her voice once more. "So help me by the twins I will send all of you to weekend detention if you do not get back into your classes within the next minute. Fifty-nine, fifty-eight!"

The students immediately dispersed as Naruto hopped down from Rexy, "wow…that was pretty cool. All their weapons looked neat, I kind of like being greeted with a fight hahaha!" Naruto laughs as pats Glynda's arm.

The woman looked at the boy, clearing her throat, "Mr. Namikaze if you may please step with me to the dining hall."

"Alright, sure!" Naruto excitingly says, "man I really did a number on your walls…sorry."

"Meh," Glynda shrugs, "I'll just have to have fix them."

"Not a problem." Naruto told her much to her surprise.

"I'm sorry, did you just say you would do without argument?" Glynda asks him, and his nod only solidified his previous answer.

Glynda looked at him as he grew a second head, before sighing, "let it go Glynda…let it go. If he's actually one of the willing ones to listen it'll be worth not understanding his personality in one day."

They both slowly begin to walk, "so, how old is Beacon Academy?"

Glynda chuckles, "eighty years old, it was established after The Great War."

Glynda looked at her fellow blonde, he was curious which was a good trait, she liked curious. Curious students often accelerated quickly since their curb for knowledge was often little, but curiosity was a thing to be monitored, as too much of the wrong knowledge can make a young prodigy become a lackey.

Glynda has picked her choices for top students early, she had read the extensive file reports, and she liked what she saw in Pyrrah both combat and academically. However, she favored Belladonna as well due to her applied knowledge and actual combat experience.

She read Naruto's file, impressive as it was, she saw no academic outstanding. In reality, this was actually something of an on the fence situation, because technically Naruto should've not been allowed in according to the code established in Beacon of him needing at least a year's training in a vocational school.

However, Ozpin was never for tradition.

He believed each student was different, requiring a different method of teaching, and he had warned her that where Pyrrah and Blake were probably the seemingly perfect students…never underestimate the idiot savants.

The type of savant he believed Naruto to be, someone who could take very little knowledge and work with it overtime to be a master. Ozpin in his own words described fighting Naruto akin to someone who adapted around a situation.

Adaptation was a deadly trait in Huntsman.

Naruto's fight with him proved that he not only adapted quickly but could thrive in battles. It was this that Ozpin believed Naruto to be a sort of hidden prodigy. She also agreed, no one surviving by themselves this long and with no training could be ignorant to battle.

His extent of his own personal knowledge made her curious, and she made a note that she would have some separate pad recording cameras in the forest to see if she can study Naruto a little better, and see if he was truly what Ozpin believed him to be.

"Um, Mrs. Glynda, wasn't the dining hall back this way!" Naruto calls out while standing in front of the doors.

Glynda stopped, before looking over at him, she had been musing in her thoughts she hadn't noticed that she walked past it. "Ah yes, good on you Mr. Namikaze."

Naruto holds the door open for her as she walks in, everyone turned to face Naruto as he walked in with his Grimm trailing close behind him. Looking around, Naruto found Pyrrah and smiles as he waived at her. "Oi, Pyrrah!"

"Hey Naruto, you get lost!" The redhead and co. made their way over to him, sensing what was going on as the students glared at him.

"Kind of got chased by other students when they thought Rexy was a hostile Grimm, anyway, did I miss the speech?"
"What speech?"
"Oh, Mrs. Glynda said there was to be a speech."
"The Professor seems to have been waiting on her arrival, she's walking up there now."
"Neat, then I guess I'm not late."
"I guess not."

Naruto puts his hands behind his head, chuckling childishly as he looks up at the podium. "I can't believe I'm actually going to be a legit Hunter."

"As well as all of us," Ren extended out his hand to Naruto who took it and shook it, "then let's see who's going to become number one in Beacon before the world eh?"

"Agreed friend," Ren chuckles, "but don't get cocky…I may just pass you up."

"Oh sure thing ninja-ninja." Naruto teases him, "and when you see me dashing away don't look at me, my sun lily may blind you."

"Speaking of lilies, Naruto, that's rather a cute accessory." Nora tells him as she looks on top of his head, "where'd you get it?"

"Oh um, well, actually…I found it at my feet. You see, though my father was…still is…a bastard my very few memories of my mother were some of the happiest times of my life. She taught me using flowers as an example." Naruto points at the flower on his left ear with his thumb, "this is A Desert Sun Lily. It's a symbol of peace and harmony in Vacuo."

"Ah, so like the Snow Rose is for Atlas and Sunflower for Mistral?"
"Bingo!"
"You should study floriculture."
"Flori-what now?"
"It means to study flowers."

Naruto beamed with a smile, "I think I remember gardening with mom one time. She and I had a green thumb."

"Well duh, you're able to grow frigging trees with your semblance." Nora rolls her eyes, "how can you not be a good gardener?"

"Bwahahaha!" Naruto bursts out laughing, "but you must be one hell of builder wielding that hammer!"

"I'm not a builder," Nora smashes her fists together, "I'm the demolition expert."

"Oh, I'm so scared." Naruto teasingly rolls his eyes, "all the power in the world means nothing if you can't land a blow however."

"Is that a challenge I smell?"
"Maybe, maybe it's the bean burrito I ate on the way in here."
"Smells an awful lot like shit talking."
"Hehe, well, then…I guess we'll have to see."

Nora and Naruto bumped fists, "name the place and time after we get officiated in."

"You're so on Nora!" Naruto yells as her and Ren walk away together.

He crossed his arms with a smile, "damn…I like Nora."

"Oh, in what form?" Pyrrah teasingly asks.

"Sisterly." Naruto tells her and then chuckles, "hope we get to be a team!"

"Maybe, hey Naruto by chance did that girl ever talk to you again?"
"Who?"
"White hair, blue eyes."
"Oh, you mean Schnee, yeah…well let's just say she thinks I tried to grab her."
"Oh?"
"My hand slipped when I had Rexy grab Ruby and I grabbed her to keep them from getting into an explosion. She accused me of being a pervert."
"Oh dear…she sounds like a class act."
"In her defense…I think she's pretty."

"No Naruto, there's no in her defense, she's just being a jerk. Women like her are too prideful on their materials to ever perceive things to be cheerful about. Such as pushing forwards with your academics and combat." Pyrrha states as she crosses her arms, "and speaking of Academics…Naruto being honest with me…are able to read and write properly?"

"I can read, but, I think my writing sucks." Naruto rubs the back of his head nervously, "my father…Minato…he never really taught me how to write."

"The hell did that monster also forget?!" Pyrrah muses as she looks at Naruto before smiling a little bit, "well count me in as your tutor if you make it through to team placement."

"Oh, and you are going to make it?"
"Maybe, but for all the talk you put up you better show it up."
"Hahaha, don't worry, I can be a one-man Grimm Slayer."

The sound of tapping on a mic cut their attention to the podium as Ozpin took center stage of everyone's attention. Clearing his throat, Ozpin took note of Ruby Rose and her sister standing front and center. Naruto was standing by Pyrrah and smiled a little, "so that was he meant by friend…not a bad pick of a friend Mr. Namikaze."

Ozpin looked at Jaune, narrowing his eyes, "I know you lied…but let's see what you're capable of. Blake Belladonna is probably in the left most dark corner of this hall, I can see tiny eyes in the very back. Weiss Schnee is front left…typical, closest spot to me."

Taking a deep breath, he looked at everyone, "everyone I need your attention."

"I'll...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose – direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step" Ozpin said as he holds his hands behind his back, "that is all."

Glynda stepped up, "all new students will begin elimination exams tomorrow. The rules of the elimination are simple, you will be launched into Emerald Forest. Emerald Forest is home to many Grimm and in various forms. You will land with other students, the first other student you see will be your partner for the next four years…no exceptions."

Everyone erupted in talks, "also…attacks on other student partner teams is not allowed. Attacking each other is automatic disqualification and you will be booted out of the academy with no possible way of returning."

Glynda looked at everyone as she walks away from podium and across the stage that was set up. "I see in this crowd those filled with potential…and I also see those who are too full of themselves. Those who are timid in nature and will take their lessons with stride will succeed…any iota sorority is supported by this school."

She continued as she watched Ozpin walk out of the room. "You will be graded as well, and the team that has the most cohesion will be matched with the team with the less cohesion score. So, to clarify, if you and partner get along great and do well together you'll be put together with a pair that can't fight their way out of a paper bag together if their lives depended on it. This is for you to set an example, a live and personal example."

"Any questions?" Glynda looked around, before noticing Naruto's hand up.

"Yes, Mr. Namikaze?" Glynda states, "what is your question?"

"I got two questions Ms. Goodwitch! First, can I bring Rexy with me?" Naruto points at his Beowulf, "and second where we be sleeping tonight?"

"To answer the first question is a simple yes, if you are capable of controlling him then I see no reason for him not to join you. However, do not blame us if he is harmed, you had a choice understood?"

Naruto nods.

"Also, new students will be sleeping on the ground from which they stand. Bundle up children, this night will be long…and it will be cold." Glynda pushes her glasses up before walking off the stage.

Naruto watched her walk away before everyone turned to him, he rubbed the back of his head softly. A boy with burnt orange hair approached him, "you can't sleep here."

"Eh?" Naruto looks at him confused, "why not?"

"Look, regardless of what the teachers think…we don't feel comfortable with that thing behind you in here with us asleep." The burnt orangenette stated as she crossed his arms, "and a few of us also said that if you won't leave willingly…we'll make you."

Naruto looks at him, "and you are?"

"Cardin Winchester, and you are just a mongrel with a dog on no leash. Get it out of here, now." Cardin ordered Naruto, "or would you rather me grab my buddies and we kindly ask you to go?"

Naruto's fists tightened, before he sighs, "fine."

Naruto looks at Rexy, "okay buddy we're gonna go see the sunset!"

Naruto and Rexy slowly walk towards the double doors, before he noticed Pyrrah looking at him. "Naruto…you shouldn't have to sleep outside."

"Oh, don't worry, it's where I planned on sleeping for starters." Naruto states with a smile, "screw the roof of this place. I want to see stars, I want to see the moon, and I wanna see angels fly."

"An-angels?"
"Yeah, those little skimming pieces of light that flow in the skies, I call them angels."

Pyrrah looked at him, he was a battle-hardened teen but it seems like he still had a child's innocence about him. The blonde patted his Beowulf as they walked past a few of the students glaring at him, the blonde merely scuffed at them before walking out of the door.

Naruto was knelt onto the cold concrete of the rooftop of Beacon, he watched as the sunset before slowly unpacking his backpack that had all of his clean smocks. Naruto laid the smocks out for him and Rexy before unfastening his sherwani and slowly sliding it off till he was bare chested.

The fabric hanged around his shoulder until he shrugs his shoulders to where it falls around him and exposing his entire upper body to the elements. Taking a deep breath, Naruto leaned forward. "Here my prayer Great Light God, here me elder brother…grant me the ability to forgive all of those who do harm onto me and let my sword pierce only the bad ones."

"Gaze upon me, your child that bares both the darkness and the light, gaze upon me and smile down. Forgive me if I act too harshly as your light shines down, for I'm here to give thanks onto you. I, Naruto, thank you for letting me see another day." Naruto prays as he raises back up to where he was sitting on his knees.

He reached up, slowly removing his Desert Sun Lily and laying it gently onto his sword. It was ritualistic for him to always sleep in a uniformed fashion when in a new place, either by praying or simply being at the right spot at the right time.

Folding his sherwani up, Naruto reached his backpack and pulled a small blanket out. It indeed felt as though it was to be a chilly night, but he came ready to face down the cold once more. He had swum in a river all week to further his preparations for the chilly environment that Vale was rumored to have been.

All the while, he was being watched.

Ozpin was standing at the door, but he didn't notice the second figure standing on top of an archway that overlooked Naruto's sleeping area. The woman in white stood there, before slowly transforming into a small white fox and hopping down off the archway and escaping notice.
