"So, uh... How are we going to do this?" Sun asked as he looked at the two beds presented towards him and his two new friends.
"It'd be better if, miss Belladonna, slept in one of the beds. It would be disrespectful to let a girl her age, to sleep on the floor." David commented as he sat on a chair next to the open window.
"Yeah, okay. I understand that, but who's gonna get the other bed? Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind sleeping with another dude, but I would rather have a bed for myself."
"I don't mind sleeping elsewhere, mister Sun. I've been used to sleeping in unorthodox places before. Just sleeping on a flat surface is a privileged in itself." He responded back while opening his worn out notebook.
The many pointers it held showed his dedication to learn everything he could in both Yharnam and Remnant, though it's days seemed to be dwindling with further use.
"That's an old notebook you got there. Where did you get it from?" Sun asked curiously.
"It was a gift from... a very distinguished ally." He responded appropriately to him. The little ones were just beings that only wished to aid him, and being an ally fits them well.
Grabbing the pen that was given to him by the school, he began to write down the things he learned today and what his next action should be.
From the bathroom, Blake came out and looked at the both of them.
"I'm heading to bed." She warned them before deciding to take the right bed, the one closest to the window.
"Whaaat? We just got here, stay up for a bit longer." Sun whined as he wanted to talk with the cat Faunus more.
"Mister Sun Wukong, tonight has set a great ordeal to miss Belladonna, let her rest. You'll be able to talk with her in the tomorrow morning."
"You heard him." She waved at the monkey Faunus while mouthing the good hunter a 'Thank you'. He simply replied with a nod to her before he continued scribbling.
"Man... Ugh. Fine. I'll wait." He talked back before turning the lights off, letting only the moonlight from the shattered moon pass through the opened window.
The night was oddly warmer than usual, but the slightly cool breeze helped alleviate the heat.
As the night progressed, David kept himself awake while continuing to scribble down the events of today and his finds. Sun was sleeping soundly, but the keen hunters hearing noticed that Blake breathing was very silent. Either she was sleeping or faking it, he didn't know, yet he let that slide.
Now that he was 'alone', so to speak, with his thoughts he began reading back what he wrote down in his mind.
"No sign of the Great ones yet and with Tukson's help, no buildings from Yharnam were recorded as of yet. That's good, but it still greatly confuses me." He thought as he took a look at his teammates on his scroll.
"They were reborn, having the same faces, maybe even the same weapons, yet they don't have memories about their past lives. I thought that once a Hunter was dead, they couldn't come back again.
By their age, they are the beginning of their life, yet they still chose to pursue this life. Why would they take the same path they took before?
One hunted others that were consumed by the blood, one that hunted people that were in a frenzy before succumbing to their fate and one that wished to hunt his fallen comrades murderer.
These people are the same ones that I knew to some extent, how they came into this life, I don't know. But... It can't be a coincidence.
Then there's the question, how did they arrive from Yharnam to here? Even I don't know how I came into this world.
I'm sure I pulled the trigger before everything went dark. I should be dead, I should've been reborn like them if that was the case.
So why was I spared that process? How did I pass through one world to another? Are the Great ones truly coming in this world? Will the same situation repeat the same as Yharnam?
These thoughts plague my mind, but the question that still stands out is how.
Surely there can't be a person able to summon beings from another realm, though I can't rule that possibility. I fret if such a person does exist, because if so, then it'll become chaotic if left unchecked.
Perhaps... Perhaps I'm overthinking things. It's been a while since I thought such matters and the threat hasn't shown itself as of yet.
No Great ones, no signs of Yharnam from the annals of history and my only sources of information are the books concerning the history of Remnant and the little ones.
I should relax a bit, but I can't help but feel anxious, when I know so little."
The good hunter closed his notebook and put it on top of the table that he pulled the chair from and let his pen rest next to it.
His throat felt parched. Standing, he made his way towards the bathroom to quench his thirst and to wash his face.
When he left, Blake opened her eyes to see that her friend had left for a bit. She looked at his notebook and the urge to know what he wrote peaked her interest.
She knew that what she was doing was a violation of his privacy, but she needed something to distract her mind, even for a small bit.
Hearing the tap running in the bathroom, she opened his notebook at the first page and saw a very faded drawing of a person in a dress. Her face wasn't recognizable at that point, nor were certain parts of the picture.
But seeing the small stains on the paper, seemed like that whoever this person was, meant a great deal for David. She turned another page, one with letters now.
"My mind must be playing tricks on me. That thing looks alive, but... No. An inanimate object can't be brought to life, so why does it look like there is life on her? What is this place? Shouldn't that beast have killed me?"
The tap continued to run, so she turned to the next page, this one was another drawing, one not so faded.
It was an old man in a wheelchair sleeping besides a tree with white flowers around him, with fog in the distance with a... Full moon...
"When did my throat become this dry?" David asked to himself as he drank the water down, as if he hadn't had it for quite sometime.
He then cupped his hands and splashed some of the water on his face, keeping away his need of sleep. He hadn't had any dreams recently, yet he's taking every precaution he can to make sure the accident with Ruby doesn't repeat.
Being unarmed, making sure that Eileen falls asleep first, waking up as soon his ears perk the sound of movement, taking longer strides for him to sleep.
Honestly, the thought of having a peaceful sleep is far from his reach and having no dreams is still very much away from him.
That is why he hasn't rested yet, not until he's absolutely certain that both teenagers are truly sleeping. Only then he will allow himself the comfort to close his eyes.
Looking at the mirror, he saw his reflection. He looked tired, no surprise there. If taking length to assure a few hours of rest, he would take it for their sake.
"Be careful. If not for us, then for them." He pointed towards the mirror, his reflection copying his movements.
"I know, I know. They're still young, still maturing. Can't betray their trust that they gave to me. Not when it took me this long to find myself this small solace." He replied to himself.
Shutting the tap of, he turned around and closed to door to see Blake skirmishing his notebook.
"Miss Belladonna." His tone was aggravated, yet he didn't raise his voice in order to let the sleepy Faunus rest.
She looked at him before looking at the notebook.
"It's not what it looks like." She said while he walked towards her. "Okay, maybe it looks like it. It's just..."
He reached his hand and closed his notebook, she on the other hand thought that he was going to grab her.
"How the secrets lull the curious, I too am like that, so I won't reprimand you. Still, looking at my personal belongings is pushing ones luck quite thin."
"...Sorry. It wasn't my intention, but that notebook is a door to know you better. You're a complete mystery, David." She said while looking at the side.
The hunter took a deep breath and moved towards the window.
"Miss Belladonna, tonight has brought out something that rings at your heart. You're still unsure what to do and so seek comfort towards knowing me better, instead of facing this ordeal. What you've done is severe and I appreciate if you didn't get to know me through a tattered notebook." He explained while looking away in the distance. He could see the sea reflecting the rays of the broken moon.
"If you wish to know me, speak and I'll answer. If there is a question that I can't answer, I have the right to stay silent."
"But we've asked you so many questions, but you only give half answers!" She replied back.
"I believe that what you've said, makes you a hypocrite, miss Belladonna." He commented back. She flinched as he pointed at her.
"Rather than accusing me of giving half answers, why not take a look on my side? After all, you've deceived me, thinking you've been a human girl with only small hints that traced to a Faunus heritage.
"Still, I kept myself quiet, with hope that when the time came, you'd come clean. Yet, instead of facing your problem you ran. Ran from your teammates that pledged loyalty towards each other, ran from the people that considered your friend."
"I gave my answer to your questions, but did you answer truthfully to my questions at all?"
She went quiet, because what he said was true. It hurt, but at least he gave some answers, yet he doesn't know if she did answer.
"I bear no ill intent towards your decision of covering your past or current self, far from it. I understand if you wish to move on. But to do that, you have to face the past."
"It's hard..." She replied back while looking down.
The good hunter put a hand on her shoulder.
"Everything is hard, miss Blake. But do not worry, you have time to think it through and find your resolve to continue." She looked up to see a solemn look on his eyes.
She felt slightly more at ease with his words of comfort.
"Why don't you sleep the rest of the night? Tomorrow you might feel more refreshed after the turmoil of emotions you've experienced today." He advised while sitting back on his chair.
"What about you?" She asked curiously.
"I still need to research something for tomorrow, so I'll be up for a bit longer." He responded while opening his scroll utilizing the internet application.
"Don't stay up too late." She said before she laid her head on the soft pillow.
Waiting for a few minutes while just browsing the network, David perked his ears to hear that she was finally asleep.
"What a strange era, teenagers worrying about their past. In my home, the only thing worried was about our future. Hmm..." He thought to himself before stopping mid typing.
On the scroll, he saw something that interested him.
"A part time job application?" He questioned in his mind, before remembering his current funds being quite low.
"Perhaps I should look into this tomorrow, I've already sent my leave of absence towards both my partner and professor Ozpin.
"Dragging the chair at the farthest point of both students, the good hunter crossed his arms and let his eyes rest for a bit.
Just until the sunrise came for another day.
Beacon Academy - Room of team HUNTER, morning
"I have no idea what to do! This is the first time I'm responsible for taking care of something!" Eileen screamed inside her head as she took her shower.
It was a good idea to start early, before the flaming blond took care of the warm water for herself.
"Think, think! What would David do in a situation like this..." She thought again before the door to their bathroom was knocked.
"Yo, Eileen! You done in there?" Gascoigne asked with his school clothes in hand and a towel.
"Just give me a minute, I'll be done soon!" She warned as she got out of the shower and started to dry herself quickly.
"Gascoigne, what are you doing?" Henryk questioned as his friend was trying to do something... a gentleman shouldn't do.
"I almost can! See!" He grunted as he tried to squeeze that extra bit to see something.
"This is our first day here, get yourself together." He commented as he dragged his partner away from the door.
"Come on, Henryk! We won't have another chance like this!" Gascoigne tried to persuade only for his words pass from one end to the other.
The door then opened with Eileen having a towel over her head, she was just about dressed up, just needed to dry the excess of water in her hair.
"Sorry for the wait! If I were you, I would hurry up. Yang tends to hog all the warm water for herself in the morning. And right now... you have about twenty minutes before she wakes up." She informed as she rubbed her hair.
"Twenty minutes!? Oh, hell no!" He bolted as soon as he heard it and slammed the door.
She was surprised by the sudden outburst before continue where she left off.
"So... Where is David? Shouldn't he be here since last night?" Henryk questioned while looking at her.
"Uh... He told me that something came up and that he was going to be away for a few days." She answered back while avoiding his gaze.
"Huh. That's unfortunate, I wanted to ask him about some stuff." His tone sounded disappointed. "Then, what are we going to do today?"
"Excuse me?"
"We're new to the academy, did you plan something for us to get to know it?" He asked curiously, since it was his first time there.
"R-right! I'll tell you after you finish your shower!" She confirmed while being nervous.
He nodded before waiting for his partner to finish.
Eileen, however, was somewhat in a panic mode not knowing what to do about the situation.
"Maybe David can help me..." She said while typing a message to his scroll.
"Uh, David, I don't know what to do with our new comrades... They asked if I planned something for them to get to know the school, what should I do?" She asked, since she was still a little socially awkward without David's assistance.
She was fine yesterday, since she thought that he would take this responsibility, but now if fell to her.
Soon she received answer to her predicament.
"You should do what they asked for, miss Eileen. Remember the first time you came to our school? You knew nothing, so we spent the day looking around introducing you to all the places the academy house and where classes start. I would suggest showing them the places where students crowd the most, like the school statue or perhaps the schools garden."
That made sense to her and made her recollect a bit of a few months ago. Then an idea came about, she just needed to do the same thing David did to her.
"Alright! Thank you for helping me again, David!" She replied back, not waiting for a reply since he never did after he answered her question.
Being a bit more confidant, now that her partner helped her out, she just waited for Henryk to finish his... Where was he
"Yo! You looking for Henryk? He just got on the shower." Gascoigne said as she was looking for the her new teammate.
"He just got on? But hasn't twenty minutes passed already?"
As soon as she said that, they heard screeching in the bathroom as the cold water splashed on his body.
"That's a crappy way to start the day, believe me when I say that."
Vale - Hotel room
He hadn't meant to rest his eyes for long, but his fatigue caught him by surprise. Yet he was still able to wake up before the other two. This was good, he didn't want to trouble them.
"Leaving the room, he made his way for the receptionist to learn where to get their breakfast, it was his first time after all.
"Ah, yes good sir. You can gather it here, let me just fetch it for you." The working man answered back with an accent he never heard of.
"Could you bring two more portions? I would like to bring some food to my company."
"Certainly sir! I ask however, that you bring your finished dishes back here."
"Of course, the thought never left my mind to deliver what was bestowed to me." The man behind the counter was slightly confused by his odd old way of speaking, yet thought nothing as his accent was off putting as well.
After receiving the portions of his companions and his, he entered the room to see Blake already awake and looking through the window.
"I trust you rested well?" He asked, getting her attention.
"Somewhat." She replied while her nose smelled something in the air.
"I've brought something for us to eat." He informed while balancing the plates.
"I smell food." Sun said while being half awake.
"Yes, mister Sun, I have your portion over here." David replied while setting the plate on top of his nightstand.
"Thanks for the grub."
"Here you go, miss Belladonna."
"Thanks."
"So... Got any bands that you like?" The monkey asked her, trying to make small talk with her.
"Not exactly, not the greatest fan in music." She replied back, while continuing eating.
"Uh... What about dance moves?"
"I don't like dancing that much."
"Favorite cafe?"
"Mister Sun. You're asking the wrong questions." David intervened while continuing with his meal.
"I am?"
"I may not know much about her," This hurt her a bit. "But by looking, you should have some grasp for her character."
"Such as..." He was curious, so was she.
"Miss Belladonna prefers not to draw too much attention to herself, prefers quiet places to read in peace, in terms of music I'd say she prefers the softer kind instead of what miss Yang prefers and I wager that she would want some time before opening up to you."
"You got all that just by looking at her?" He asked very surprised, she on the other hand felt a bit baffled by how he knew about her.
"I wouldn't say just by looking at her, I took some reference from my early interactions with her. If those interactions were true." He replied while finishing his meal.
She felt a bit saddened about it. He knew that he was being deceived, yet took her word for it and now doesn't know what to believe.
"Damn dude, you have a good eye for this." Sun whistled at the good hunter.
"Good eye? Not at all. It just feels that her interactions at that point were genuine. Until she can confirm it, however, don't take my word for it." He replied back while noticing that she was looking to the side, her meal almost finished.
"Take your time, miss Belladonna. Nobody is rushing you or pressuring you." He reassured her.
She nodded as she ended her breakfast.
"What about you uh... David was it? What do you like?"
This peaked her interest.
"Me? I have few things that I enjoy. A good book to read, listening to the strings of a violin reverberate in a melody and nowadays I enjoy the taste of coffee, though I still prefer tea." Simple things, as he described.
"Just that? What about sports or even bands or singers? Famous actors, movies or something else to know more about you?" Sun pressed on, Blake was about to turn him down, but David was the first to speak.
I know nothing of those. The only sport I ever known, was to kill and it was one that I despised. Singers? Actors? I know none. Where I grew, I had no luxuries such as those, mister Sun.
Nor was I able to build a more approachable character. Instead, the ordeal that I faced made me much more secluded than most. Even now as I speak, you can tell that I'm being careful on how I talk, as social interactions were very minimal and aggressive in many cases.
Despite how much I sound friendly at the moment, I am not confidant in how to progress with a conversation, hence I forbid myself from speaking many times, for when I do I learn much more and understand a person better in a sense." He explained to him, but the way he put things made both Faunus to somewhat impressed.
David had already a more mature role in Blake's perspective, now it seemed that what he showed right now runs much deeper. To the point that where she couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the Hunter to endure what he faced and continue.
Something that she hasn't come terms with, yet he's facing it slowly as he's been advising her.
"Hmm?" He took out his scroll as it notified him of a message.
"Excuse me, I'll have to respond to this." He went out of the door to write in peace.
"Damn, that guy is... kinda awesome." Sun admitted as he finished his meal. "How long were you his pal? And how did you met him?"
"I've known him for a few months. At first glance, you can probably tell that he's different with how he speaks or how he wears his outfit. But getting to know him has been... difficult."
"He's playing hard to get?"
"I wouldn't say playing, not now that I understand him a little bit better. It's just... how he is. But you can see that even he's trying, everyday, just helping us by being there.
Now that I think about it, he kinda acts differently than most. I don't know why." She couldn't pinpoint it, but the way he spoke softly to them, the way he gave them a stern talk when Ruby or Yang did something bad and then how he always lend an ear for their troubles. It was reminiscent to family.
"Ya know, he almost acts like an older brother in that way. I mean, I never had a brother before, but I think that he could pull it off."
"...Yeah. You're right." She could only agree.
"I apologize for taking my time. I'll take our plates back downstairs, feel free to roam if you wish." He returned and started to gathering the plates.
"Hey bro, you going somewhere?"
"Hmm... I will, yes." He replied back while attempting to leave.
"What are you gonna do?" Blake asked now curious.
"I'm going to attempt to get accepted for a part time job." He informed.
"Why are you gonna do that? Beacon can probably cover the expenses." She questioned further.
"My current funds have harshly plummeted and I wouldn't like to bother the academy for such matters. Granting this job, I might receive a steady income and be able to further explore the city in a way that I couldn't before." He shared his insight to them.
"Dude, why do you sound so happy to have a part time job?"
"I do not know, mister Sun. Maybe I'm simply thrilled to be doing something that doesn't involve my skills, or perhaps I'll be able to know much more than I could before? Either way, I can't help but feel as though something might benefit me." He explained before leaving.
"He seems in high spirits." Sun pointed out.
"You'd be surprised on how rare you'll see that, in his case." she replied back to him.
Beacon academy
"Over here is the school's garden. During the morning or afternoon, we students tend to come here to relax before classes. Some prefer to sleep, others prefer to do distract themselves with other things." Eileen explained while Gascoigne looked around very impressed with the vegetation, Henryk could only nod to her.
"Dude..! We could probably play football over here, no problem!" He sounded excited as he could imagine some people wanting to play.
"I know you like to play with your ball, but keep it low for now. We just got here." Henryk warned as he could feel that trouble would come around if he started to play.
"Bummer. Maybe next time." He sounded down being shot down.
"Anyways, what do you do to pass the time here Eileen?" Gascoigne asked her.
"Whatever free time I have I'll either study or train with David. I sometimes talk with team RWBY or team JNPR when they want to talk." She responded back informally.
"You don't do a lot, huh." He responded with a dull tone.
"Think as you may, but the training I do with David is not as light as a jog or your sport. It is much more intense than you'd think." She said, defending what the wolf talked.
"What? Are you saying that football is light compared to your training? Don't make me laugh!" Gascoigne said, trying to rile her up.
"Do you wish to see the list of what we do then?" She asked him, to which he nodded.
As she typed on her scroll, she pulled it up to show him the list.
"You're kidding right?" He thought she was pulling a prank on him.
"With this? Not even the slightest." She responded back to him not laughing.
"Let's see here..." Henryk mumbled as he began reading the list.
30 laps around the school campground, with breaks of ten minutes. Weight lifting on both the schools gym or outside using more primal means? Accuracy training for half an hour. Sparring for an hour, teaching to cover any blind spots and then a twenty minute break before talking about tactics." He said aloud.
"I have to agree with Gascoigne, that is pretty extravagant and extreme in anyway you see it."
"Be as it is, David's guidance is helping me greatly. This training regime is much tougher than anything I've seen so far, yet it yields many good results!
You should try it with us, you'll not regret it!" She said puffing her chest with pride.
"Uuuh... Maybe sometime later." Gascoigne said, though he thinks that he would probably be exhausted on the tenth lap.
"If you'll follow me, I'll show you where the classrooms and the library are." She informed while guiding them towards the different rooms.
First it was the lecture hall, a place for practical demonstrations and learning from the staff of Beacon; Later was the amphitheater, it was used for meetings, but can also be used a fighting arena; finally it was the locker room, each student is assigned a locker to store weapons and extra armor.
"In this room, is the prestigious library of Beacon academy. Hundreds of books are present here, from history to health care. Please do not bring any magazines or books for leisure, this is a place to study." She informed them, yet she directed her attention towards Gascoigne in particular.
"Why are you looking at me for?" He asked, feeling a bit of cold sweat at her gaze.
"No apparent reason." She replied back while walking for a bit. "There is one last place we should visit, please follow me at the school gates. The statue is a must to see."
As they walked around, the students around started to whisper around of the new students coming from different schools.
Some asked them where they came, how are things going in their school and how things are done there.
Though very few answered them, as certain things aren't good topics to start their conversation, since most keep it for themselves.
"Gascoigne? Henryk? What are you two doing here?" A student wearing the Haven's school uniform consists of a black jacket with a light gray outline around the edges, a white undershirt and a white band around the student's left arm.
The female outfit consists of a gray and black checkered skirt, whereas the male uniform has a pair of black trousers.
"Uh... Hey there Lilly, good to see you." Gascoigne looked to the side, trying to avoid eye contact.
"I thought the both of you were back in the academy, what happened?" She asked to the both of them as Eileen was confused.
"We're making a collaboration team for the Vytal festival. Team HUNTER took us in until the festival is over." Henryk explained to her while the wolf Faunus took a few steps back next to Eileen, though he was taking his sight elsewhere.
"I see... I hope we can talk later after you met them! See ya!" The girl called Lilly with armpit long purple hair and with blue eyes said as she went to join her team.
"Who was she?" Eileen asked curiously.
"One of the victims." Gascoigne informed her as he looked to the ground.
Henryk put a hand of his shoulder, giving him some comfort.
"Sorry for asking..." She replied back now feeling awkward with her question.
"Don't worry about it. We're still a little shaken from our old teammates and things aren't really that great with the other students with us. I mean, they were only kicked out two weeks ago, so we can't blame them for excluding us. Some talk with us to try and comfort us, mainly the victims since we got the same treatment with them, the rest just ignore us." Henryk explained to her as they moved on ahead.
""That must've been hard." She commented on it as she was familiar with how being ignored feels. "Though don't worry, me and David won't be like them. We'll treat you as good as we treat others.
"We appreciate it." He responded back with a soft smile at her.
"Oh, we're here! This is Beacon's Academy Statue, the symbol that means unity to defeat the Grimm."
"Unity, huh. Can't say that it doesn't sound nice." Henryk commented while looking at the statue.
"I like it, though I wish that unity would come between us Faunus and humans. That would've been for the ages." Gascoigne responded to his comment with his own.
"I'm sure that, with time, that'll become a reality." Eileen replied to him sympathetically. "I've already shown you everywhere around Beacon. I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Welcome to Beacon academy, I hope you like it here."
"Believe me when I say that I already do." Gascoigne said as he looked to the side, specifically towards a pair of girls.
"Gascoigne, learn to control yourself." Henryk informed as his partners... priorities were a little switched.
City of Vale
David had long left the hotel that he and his two companions shared and was now walking through the downtown streets. He wasn't accustomed to going down this way, nor on how everything seemed a little bit different to the houses he saw prior.
He had been following the GPS application on his scroll towards the marked destination on his job hunt.
As he walked further and further, the scroll pointed towards a large building with music that could be heard even from the outside.
"I'm assuming that I've arrived for my part time job." He thought to himself as he walked towards the doors.
Opening them by themselves, he was greeted to a light show with music being played in the background by a DJ wearing a bear shaped mask. People where in the middle of the dance floor enjoying their time, though with closer look around the place it seemed that it was hit by something before.
And a few people around the dance floor were a bit shady in crowd, giving him reason to avoid it.
Walking around the edge, he noticed a bartender serving drinks to people, he figured that if he was going to get any kind of information about the part time job, it would be there to start.
To the side, two figures were watching closely to the newcomer, part of it with interest and the other part with duty.
"Pardon me, is this... The Black Bear club by any chance?" David asked politely.
"What if it is?" The bartender asked a little suspicious.
"I was hoping to ask the owner about the part time job I saw online."
"Part time job? Hmm... Lemme go have a word with him." He then walked to the other side talking with a man, supposedly the owner.
The man then signaled the two girls to keep close, but not too close to draw suspicion.
"Hey, aren't you a little young to be here?" The man said as he approached him.
"Hardly, sir. Where I'm from, as soon as you hit 17 you've matured enough to make decisions." He responded back.
""Really? How old are you?" He asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Considering that you're asking me my age, I'm going to assume you're the owner of this establishment."
"What if I am?" He asked him.
"About the part time job, what exactly would I be doing and how much would I earn?" The hunter asked without delay.
"Straight to the point, I like that. How much you'd earn? I'd say around 70 Lien a week, or 10 Lien a day. And what would you do? Depends on the day."
"Excuse me, but... Have we met before?" David asked recalling his voice from somewhere.
"I doubt it. Most of the time I stay here on the club, I rarely go out, not on what happened that day.
"That day? What happened to you sir?" He asked, though he had a very strong feeling that he met him before.
"Nothing. Hey you wouldn't happen to be from Beacon Academy, would you?"
"How did you know?" He asked curiously.
He then signaled the guards around the place to spread out.
"Just keeping my word for a guy, that's all." He responded back before the two figures that were watching were now sitting on the other side of David.
"Good afternoon." He responded to the two girls, one nodded a polite bow to him and the other looked to the other side dismissively.
"Have we met before? I have a feeling that I know the both of you." He commented once more, both man and girl.
"Depends, were you a guy with a sword that could turn into two in the evening?" The girl that turned around asked still in a arrogant way.
This took him a bit before he remembered where he met them before.
"I see. Now it makes sense on why I know the both of you." He said while looking at the man. "Good to see that you're keeping your word."
"What do you mean, kid?" He asked a bit clueless.
"Sometime has passed, but thanks to this lovely girl, I was able to remember. Who would ever thought that we'd see each other again." He informed him.
"Wait... tell me you aren't the guy, right?" He asked while remembering those eyes staring right at him.
"You haven't hurt any students from Beacon academy, have you?" He asked him once more, sealing the deal between the girls and the man that he was indeed the guy that frightened him and that beat the two girls.
A blade came pop out of Melanie's boot, being prepared for another bout with him.
"At ease the both of you, I'm not here to fight, I just wish to offer my services for the part time job, nothing more." He was relaxed, even when the girl next to him was ready to pounce.
"Really? You just want a job?" Hei asked, still feeling anxious.
"I currently need Lien and what better way to gather it, than to work for it?" He replied back.
"I can't give a job to people that are under 18, that's a rule that I put."
"Currently, I am 19 years old. I think I can pass that rule of yours."
"You sure you're 19?" Melanie asked, knife still out.
"What reason would there be for me to lie?" He questioned.
"Mmmm... Fine. I've been meaning to get someone to fill in the bartender or someone to get rid of troublesome people."
"By 'getting rid of', you mean making them leave the club correct?"
"Of course! I don't want any trouble with the cops, or want anything else to happen to it. Not like when that blondie came and did a number on it."
"I can manage that. When do I start?" David asked ready to start his first job in Remnant.
