A/N: Haii my adorable little peeps. I'm taking a small break from Castle of Glass (because holy writer's block) to bring you an Omake type chapter thingy! Starting with this, I plan on adding more stuff to this storyline, and even Answering some questions that were never Answered by the original story arc (like how is it teaching at Beacon or where did my brother go). Anyway, on to the shenanigans!
Alexander's POV, Monday morning
"I fucking hate Mondays" I uttered to myself as I limped into the teacher's lounge, making an immediate beeline for the coffee pot. It seemed both Earl and Coco shared this thought as they both let out a grunt of agreement from their respective dents in the metal table used for lunch.
"It's morning! It's morning!" I heard Violet cheer happily as she skipped into the lounge, clearly in one of her energetic moods.
"How are you even functioning this fucking early?" I heard Earl ask the ever so random batwoman in the room.
"The trick is getting laid my friend" she said as she plopped next to our old teammate. I choose to ignore whatever debauchery she had gotten herself into last night in preference of getting the lifeblood known as caffeine. I looked at the pot right before I poured myself a mug of coffee and decided to forgo the mug.
"Alex, why did you grab the entire pot of coffee?" Coco asked me as she turned her attention away from Earl and Violet. I sat next to her and didn't even dignify her with a verbal answer. I gestured to my old teammates, who were now trying to choke each other out.
*sighs* "You have a strong case there, want to help me break it up before they crash through the wall... Again" She said with a gesture to the wall on my right, freshly repaired with new drywall and plaster. I gave out an audible sigh before using my semblance to forcibly pull them apart, all while chugging away at my coffee.
"Awww why'd you ruin my fun Alex?" Violet asked from her prison to which Earl nodded to.
"It's Monday, I'm in no mood to put up with shit today, also, classes start in 15 minutes so let's get to work." I said which made Violet squeal happily and teleport to her classroom. I released Earl and he let out a shaky laugh.
"I feel so bad for her students, especially on days like this" he said which earned a bark of laughter from his wife.
"Like you're one to talk, last week you threw a kid through the ceiling for falling asleep during my lecture." Coco said which made me start cackling like a maniac.
"I... Have no comeback for that... Anyway, let's get to class, gotta set a good example for little Jacky. Come on babe" Earl said as he Damn near dragged Coco out the room in his hurry to get to class. I stood and quickly made my exit from the lounge, wouldn't want to be late, I am the instructor after all...
Baron's POV, Ozpin's office.
"Heya Ozzie, what'd you call me here for?" I asked the elder headmaster, though he looked just the same as the day I met him all those years ago.
"I want you to be a co-instructor to Alex's history class, as he is the only history teacher we have since Oobleck retired. At least until we find an open room so you can be our second history professor" Ozpin said which made me smile a bit
"I'd love to, it beats sleeping in a tree or playing cat and mouse with a Drake" I said while suppressing a memory of nearly being roasted alive upon multiple occasions. With a shudder, I grabbed the credentials and licenses from Ozpin before leaving with a bow.
'I wonder what class with Alex is like... It's probably mellow' I thought to myself as I got into the elevator, little did I know how wrong I was.
Alex's POV, in his classroom
"-nd so, The War of Color has changed life in everyway, from the technology in your hands to the very names your parents have given you." I finished the lecture and looked into the class to see the usual delinquent on scroll. His name is Cobalt but he goes by the name Riku for some odd reason.
"Riku! Since you seem so intent on what is on that scroll of yours, care to explain the role of the Faunas people in the War?" I asked the boy, wondering what stupid thing he had to say today
"They were just meat shields, that's all the freaks are good f-"
"COBALT EUGENE BLACK, I WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH VIEWS IN THIS CLASSROOM. NOW APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR RUDE BEHAVIOR OR I WILL TEAR YOU A NEW ASSHOLE!" I yelled in a booming demonic voice, long un-used and somewhat forgotten by myself. It terrified the entire class, one girl fainted and another student pissed himself, but Cobalt was entirely ineffected by my outburst of rage.
"Like you could do anything, you're a cripple. And you're not even a huntsman!" The huntsman in training yelled at me, standing from his seat in his ignorant rage.
"Go get your combat gear and meet me in the combat arena in ten minutes or I will fail you for the rest of the year" I told him, sending him walking to his locker for his weaponry.
"Umm Professor Shinigami, what do you plan on doing once we all get there?" One of my more timid students asked. I gave a feral smile which showed off my elongated canine teeth.
"I'm going to personally teach that poor excuse of a boy some manners" I said as the doors to my class opened, revealing someone I didn't quite expect.
"Hey Baron, what are you doing here? I thought you would have been off chasing dragons by now" I told my long time friend, making him smile slightly at my choice of words.
"Actually, Ozzie asked me to be your co-teacher until I get my own classroom. I thought your class would be mellow but seeing how you're about to murder a student with his own arms, I was sorely mistaken." He said, making a few students green around the gills.
"I won't beat him that badly" I said which made Baron snort and start laughing since we both knew I might go overboard. I started out the door and called out over my shoulder to the other occupants in the room
"Now class, let's walk to the arena so I can teach you all a lesson about history repeating itself."...
Alex's POV, just outside the combat arena
"How do you know Earl will let you interrupt his class so you can kick this kid's teeth in?" Baron asked me from the back of our group, probably to ensure no one ditches.
"Because he enjoys an ass whooping and he can use my fight for his class" I said as I opened the door to Coco's and Earl's combat class, rather loudly to gain the attention of everyone in the arena.
"Professor Shinigami, what brings your class to my neck of the woods?" Earl said slightly irritated by my interruption.
"Why Professor Greytey, I'm going to give your class a show, much like last year and the year before that" I said causing Coco to nod before heading into the stands. Earl walked up to me and spoke in whispered tone.
*sighs* "Every year brings that one student that is a pain, and every year you kick the shit out of them to get through to them. You really need to find a better way to connect my friend" he said as he held his face in his hand out of irritation
"What was your lesson today?" I asked him, catching him slightly off guard.
"Well, we were teaching about how to deal with an opponent who wields a pole-arm weapon. Furthermore, I was going to dabble into opponents who attack heavily with semblance based actions" he said making me nod.
"That works perfectly, use this fight to teach your class." I said as the doors opened yet again, revealing Riku in his combat gear. He was in all black clothes, black cargo pants and some black sneakers that perfectly refected his dark brown eyes. He wielded a black spear that was about 5 feet in length and had a gun function at the opposite end of the spear, though it was more of a grenade launcher since it fired 15mm rounds. He had a belt around his waist that held multiple vials of varying dust.
"Go get Goodwitch from her 4th year class, this is going to make a very big mess" I said as I limped into the middle of the arena to stand opposite from the young Huntsman-in-training. I shrugged off my heavy black and red overcoat and stood in combat attire exactly like the gear I used in my beacon days. A Simple black, long sleeve shirt with black armor on my chest, back, left shoulder and forearms. The armor was red at the edges and seemingly faded to black the closer you got to the middle of the armor. I had black combat pants with armor on my shins. For footwear, I had black steel-toed boots that had red laces. The normal cloak I wore was replaced with a black and red overcoat, which was currently residing on the floor behind me. I sighed heavily as I reached behind me and pulled out my shotgun scythe Howling Redemption, in all of its glory. I sighed yet again as I unfurled it into its full form, bringing back very painful memories that I quickly pushed to the back of my mind.
"Last chance to apologize Mr. Black, it will save you time and the humiliation of being beat down in front of your peers." I said rather darkly, my red and black aura leaking off of me in a show of power. 'Riku' hesitated for a split second before hardening his glare at me.
"You're just a crippled freak, nothing to worry about." He said as he held his spear over his shoulder, pointing the grenade launcher at me. I saw Goodwitch walk into the stands in the corner of my peripheral vision which meant I could launch my assault.
(Cue Old man by Red Light King)
I formed a brace on my bad leg with my semblance and launched myself towards my opponent at speeds that rivaled Ruby without her semblance. He countered my Charge by firing directly at my advancing form, though his rounds proved useless as I made a large shield to cover my advance. I heard him let out a growl of frustration before my shield exploded in a hail of Ice, courtesy of his own semblance that allowed him to control the elements themselves (dust seemed to amplify this effect as well as gave him something to actually control). I simply pushed through the onslaught and smacked him upside the head with the pole arm of my scythe. The boy bounced a few times off the concrete before coming to his feet off a roll. He growled louder which gave me an evil thought.
"If you keep growling like that, people just might think that you're a "freak" just like me." I said with a chuckle, causing him to lose his cool and launch a sphere of lightening at me which I stopped by making a simple rod appear in its path.
"You're going to have to try a lot harder to hit me, here, I'll make it fair" I said as I held my dominant right arm behind my back. He grew even more angered and rushed me in a blind charge that I simply sidestepped and tripped him with a quick strike to his leg with my scythe. I could actually feel the pure anger radiating from the boy as his eyes glowed orange and fire formed around the both of us. Fire licked at my skin, my aura being the only thing preventing me from being set ablaze. I simply jumped back and landed in a pained crouch as my brace gave slightly. I quickly reinforced it and looked up to see Riku charging me yet again. I dove to the side and threw a HE clip at his feet before shooting it, sending him into the red on aura as well launching him outside the ring.
(End song)
"Don't ever let your emotions cloud your judgement, that's how you wind up KIA in the field. Keep a wide stance and use your weapon's length to your advantage and use your semblance more, practice makes perfect. *sighs deeply* There's a reason I'm a teacher here, I'm capable of taking down most huntsman should I have to. I'm highly proficient in CQC and long range combat, as well as Aura control. While I'm not a huntsman, I'm highly respected in the field and people often come to me to seek out advice concerning combat against our fellow man." I said while leaning against my scythe as a walking stick. My student remained silent as I continued speaking.
"Faunus-human relations have improved significantly over the past decade, especially with the eradication of the White Fang as well as Cinder Fall's anarchist movement. It's rare I see views like yours anymore 'but seeing your last name, it shouldn't surprise me in the slightest.'" I said the last part to myself, Mercury was always a Dick so it doesn't surprise me his younger Half brother is one as well. I saw Earl walk to the front of the arena to conclude his lesson while Goodwitch fixed the numerous holes that showed up throughout our scuffle.
"As you can see class, Pole-Arm weapons are extremely versatile and can fight at most ranges with ease. However, they are most effective at the outer edge of their range and least effective closest to the wielder of the weapon. Variation is very common with the weapon type as can be seen by the comparison between Professor Shinigami's scythe and Mr. Black's spear. Professor Adel, anything to add?" He said with a look over to his wife
"Yes, both of the combatants have a large aura pool and powerful semblances, which is difficult to combat against. It can be done through careful study of your opponent early on, which can lead to an effective counter attack or a necessary retreat to avoid being killed in action. That will be all class, have an excellent rest of your day." She said making most of the students run because, and I quote "FREEEDOOMMMMM!"... These kids will be the death of me. I turned to Riku and helped him up off the ground.
"This isn't the first time I had to beat a student into shape, and I won't hesitate to do so again. Before you continue on your way, think about getting to know some of the Faunus people. You'll be pleasantly surprised to find that they are just normal people with some extra parts. Now go and enjoy the rest of the day." I said making him nod and turn around to nearly bump into Orion and Neo... Don't say it kid, don't Fucking sa-
"She's so short"... He said it, what have you done. You hath unleashed the hell knownst to humanity has Feminine Fury®. I pity you, you poor soul. I pray you run faster than she can.
"..You alright ma'am?" He asked as he backed away slightly from the woman who was radiating a very pissed off Neapolitan colored aura and smiled very creepily.
"Kid, run as fast as you can to Ozpin because he's the only one who can save you now" Orion said making him immediately heed his word and ran for his life towards the exit.
"10 lien that he doesn't make it into the hall" I said, not even questioning why they were here or attempting to stop Neo from murdering one of my students.
"You're on cripple" He said as we watched Riku get caught halfway to the door and get tossed around like a rag doll. No joke, she had him by the leg and was slamming him into the ground repeatedly. Orion handed me my Money and stopped his wi- I mean girlfriend from murdering one of my students.
"That's enough Neo, we just got your records cleaned so it'd be counter-productive to kill someone" Orion said which made Neo hold Riku up by his leg before tossing him aside and shrugging apatheticly. She reappeared behind Orion and jumped onto his back like a koala... If I wasn't so terrified of this woman, I'd call it adorable.
"So with Neo going on a small rampage out of the way, what brings you two to Beacon today?" I asked as we all began walking to the exit (and stepping over my unconscious student... Eh, he'll be fine).
"Believe it or not, I'm looking into something that actually requires the assistance of a huntsman, Neo... Came for the sake of following me to see what I get myself into." Cue said female biting the ever living shit out of Orion's neck "Anyway, I can't seem to find the Wizard anywhere" Orion said as he flared his aura to fix the bleeding his w- girlfriend caused him.
"I'd suggest looking in the cafeteria, he seems to frequent there quite a bit now. And if you still can't find him, just ask me about it." I said as a bullhead landed in the airdocks.
"That seems like a good idea, may- NEO!" Orion yelled out, causing me to turn and see Neo skipping happily towards us... With at least 5 students in varying levels of unconsciousness behind her.
"...You really need to get her a leash or something" I said making Neo glare at me and sign angrily at me.
*is that a short joke?! I will destroy you and all you hold dear!*
"It wasn't Neo, I say that because you wander around more than Ruby at a gunshow." I said making Orion turn to me slightly disturbed.
"You went to one of those with her? He asked unsettled by the thought of that.
"It was that or shopping with Yang and we all know her and Blake have a somewhat open relationship, so while the notion is nice, I'd rather not get dragged into that. I'd like to avoid getting 3rd degree burns and numerous scratches." I said making Neo perk up so I immediately shot that down.
"Yang still wants to rip your head off then shit down your neck and Blake would like nothing more than to strangle you with that damnable ribbon of hers." I said, making her visably deflate and Orion mouth a Thank you my way.
"I just realized, I can message Ozpin. Gimme a sec" I said as I started messaging Ozpin. With that done, I heard a very quiet noise that was slowly getting louder, and closer until
"ORRIONNNNNNNNNN" *thud*
Well, I suppose it's true what they say, talk about someone enough and they shall appear.
"OHMYGODITSBEENSOLONGHOWHAVEYOUBEENORION!"... Damn I forgot how fast Ruby spoke when she's happy and excited. Orion simply patted her head as calm as could be even though she was basically laying on top of him.
"I've been well Ruby, sorry about being out of touch, I had to deal with some robbers... And thugs... And assholes, wow, crime has certainly gone down as of late hasn't it?" Orion said while Neo adopted a look of innocence... Bullshit. I saw Violet walk (Read skip happily) towards us as she was done for the day.
"Neo, cut that look of innocence off your face, you're the least innocent person I know and that says a lot because I know Orion and Violet" I said which made Her pout at me and Orion (who is now standing attempting to decipher what an overly excited Ruby is saying) look at me very irradiated.
"Oi! I'm more in the gray area than a lot of people! Don't make me go to town on your ass Alex, I will beat on a cripple!" He said which made me deadpan pretty heavily at him and Violet laugh for no reason at all.
"Orion, I'm sure you're very aware of why there are no more pedophiles or rapists in the city of Vale and I'm sure you're even more aware of the gruesome details of their untimely deaths." I said which made him snort slightly.
"No proof, I plead the 5th, also I date a psychopath, blame her." He said as he put his hands in his pockets. I looked over at Neo to see her and Ruby having what I could only describe as them trying to out puppy dog eye each other. I immediately turned away from that as I saw Ruby's eyes getting watery. I pulled out my scroll and loaded a video and played it for Orion.
"Really, then why are you shown beating a man to death with his own leg in this security cam footage?" I asked him which made him make a random gesture to Neo, which in turn made her pull at her scroll and delete my video remotely.
"What proof? I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about." He said making me chuckle as I pulled up the same exact video from my home server and showed him it again.
"You do realize I have multiple copies of everything, right? Not to mention that Ozpin has every video of you "at work" which numbers easily in the hundreds. That man scares me sometimes." I said with a mild shudder at the thought of why my boss had those clips
"I see, Neo *said girl appears in front of him* please clean that up for me. And he probably has them for his own amusement, he's an odd enigma" he said making her vanish while a thought popped into my mind.
"In all seriousness though, Ozzie scares the piss outta me, I don't get how the government lets him be headmaster sometimes." I said, though I immediately regret it as I felt a powerful presence behind me
"Ozpin is right behind me isn't he?" I asked Orion to receive a very malicious grin from my long time friend..
Orion's POV
"Hey Ozpin, you still up for poker this Saturday?" I asked making him smile slightly behind a now petrified Alex.
"Yes I am, before we get to your business, I need to discuss some things with Professor Shinigami in that classroom over there, come with me Professor" Ozzie said darkly as he literally dragged Alex into a vacant classroom, which gained the attention of a large number of students.
"What's going on?"
"Was that Ozpin?"
"I wonder what Professor Shinigami did now"
*SCRRREEEEEEEE*
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?" Everyone heard Alex scream from the other side of the door followed by an extremely large amount of explosions, gunshots, and the screeching of metal on metal.
"So children, you have two choices kids, fight me and Neo *cue her reappearing* or help out your professor out, chose wisely kids" I said, causing all the students and even Violet to run into the room... Only for all of the kids to run out of the room, screaming like banshees.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, IT WON'T FUCKING DIE! VIOLET QUIT LAUGHING AT ME AND HELP DAMN IT!" Alex screamed as Violet could be heard laughing her ass off in the background of battle. I felt a light tapping on my arm so I turned to Neo who made a gesture that only I could understand
*Alex still owes you about 150 lien for drinks at the bar, and another 50 for saving his ass from Violet's Fury a few days ago*
"Ah so he does *opens door* HEY OZPIN, HE OWES ME MONEY SO NEED HIM ALIVE, AND MOSTLY SANE!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, leading to Alex being thrown through the wall with Violet following him, laughing to the point of tears..
Alex's POV
"What.. the absolute Fuck was that. It reminded me of something I saw on Baron's porn folder on his personal computer." I said from my rather comfortable spot on the ground, making Violet stop laughing and her face flush slightly before teleporting away to most likely Baron's house... That's not disturbing at all
"Ozpin, did you summon something from the dark realm again?" I heard Orion ask from behind me, or was it on front of me? I don't know anymore, I Span too many times when I was flying through the wall.
"Yes I did, it was rather entertaining to watch him repeatedly cut it down though I have to get my suit dry cleaned again." The wizard said making me deadpan slightly at him
"You got a spot of dirt on your pants, oh boo-fucking-hoo." I said as I shakily got to my feet from being put into what could equate to a centrifuge.
"I will summon it again Professor"
"I retract my prior statement sir" I said making Ozzie smile
"You know I'm the only who fights your summons in CQC for a reason Ozpin. Also, I'd appreciate you not murdering my friends, they are difficult to come by with Neo around" Orion said making Neo pout at him and gesture frantically
"Last week you stabbed someone in the dick for waving at me, if that doesn't scream possessive then I don't know what does." He deadpanned, making everyone look at Neo to see her sheepishly rub the back of her neck.
"Anyway, what brings you to Beacon Orion? You and Neo usually can handle issues that arise given how you're both highly gifted in combat." He said as he tapped down his cane, making himself, Orion and Neo disappear from the room. I felt the eyes of all my students on me so I decided to fix that immediately before Orion and Neo get back from whatever the hell they're doing and maim them.
"Everyone who should be in class, go to class before Ms. Goodwitch gets a hold of you. You'll save yourself a slow and agonizing death." I said, causing half of the kids to run as if their life depended oon it; hell, knowing Glynda, it did.
"Awww Alex, why did you send them off? I wanted to see them to get maimed by the odd couple" I heard Violet ask me with a pout
"That's exactly why I sent them off, I did want them to g-OOF" I cut off as I was speed tackled onto my stomach. I peeked over my shoulder to see Ruby sitting on my back, smiling darkly all the same. I felt Ozpin and the odd couple pop back into the hall but I decided to fix the issue sitting on my spine
"Ruby, why are you sitting on my back?" I asked calmly, which only made her smile wider.
"Wellllll, Me and my team haven't been in town in forever soooo you get to go shopping with us~" She sang so damned happy with herself. I heard Violet and Orion laughing at misfortune until I heard a yelp from Orion like he was surprised.
"You get to come too buddy! We sooo need to catch up~" Yang sang as she Dragged him to me before dragging me along with him.
"Welcome to hell my friend, please enjoy your stay" I said in a downtrodden voice only to see Orion shatter like glass and disappear, a tape recorder left in his place that began playing a message.
"Yeah... Fuckkkk that. I have a girlfriend with a powerful illusionary semblance who I can bribe with sex and ice cream. At the Same time. Have fun getting your shopping done Alex" The tape played out before I facepalmed upon realizing something very important. I can fly, and Yang can't. I let my aura form on my back in a very subtle fashion before I formed wings and quite literally flew from Yang's grasp. I knew Orion was still in the area so I decided to voice my displeasure with him
"ORION, YOU ARE SUCH AN ASSHOLE, I HOPE YOU GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR BRIBE!" I yelled as I flew high above the school. I heard a response almost immediately from my 'friend'
"THEN MAYBE I'M AN ASSHOLE FOR GIVING RUBY A SIXTUPLE ESPRESSO SHOT COFFEE TO GO AFTER YOU AND NOT ME!" I heard him yell out followed by a large explosion of rose petals from his general vicinity and him yelling something along the lines of wrong person.
"YOUCANTGETAWAYFROMMEORION!ACCEPTYOURFATE!" Ruby shot out so fast that I barely understood what she said. I saw Orion and Neo sprinting towards the edge of the cliff and he yelled something unintelligible before picking Neo up in a bridal carry and jumping off the cliff... I noticed Violet flying next to me so I decided to ask her a question
"Violet, what happens to people's sanity when they get here, does it just vanish the second they step foot on the campus?" I asked her as calm as I could.
"I-"
"SO LONG, ROMAN, IS A MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!" Orion cut off Violet with his outburst atop a bullhead he was riding, all while still carrying his tiny girlfriend (I'm glad she can't read minds) who was now glaring at him. They flew away so I decided to answer my own question
"The answer is yes Violet *sighs* I think I'll just watch Ruby go to town on the local populace... Holy shit that was dark." I said as I felt a powerful presence next to me
"I told you that you could be a headmaster Alex." Ozzy said as he stood next to me... On thin air...
"Fuck this shit, I'm not even gonna ask, I'm done with class for day. I'm going to go drink until I pass out." I said as I flew towards the Vale docks to an old bar to get plastered...
A/N: There you go my little peeps! Note that I've begun editing early chapters in this story so it can, well, not suck. Later peeps *waves happily*
