Waking up, the memories of yesterday's events came flooding back, figuratively of course, since I didn't actually forget them.

How could I ever forget?

As much as it wasn't particularly bloody, it was more the fact that Aloi didn't allow me to help.

Past the whole "Find the savior" quest, it's still hard to believe and accept that she just let herself die...

As bad as it is, I don't wish that it would be any better. I can deal with it and push forwards, but I don't want to not have to deal with it, as strange as it may be.

Waking up, I wrote a note about being called to Ozpin's office, and opened an Instant Dungeon and destroyed pretty much everything on the way to his office with Mana Bolt being cast in all directions, raw magic tearing the walls down around me constantly. Bursts of color created whenever they struck, training my Illusion skill with different colors and patterns.

Getting in the elevator, which I had left standing, I stopped using Mana Bolt and instead used Illusion more, using it to visualize battle plans, but instead of planning the hunters against the Grimm, I was trying to make battle plans with the few Grimm I had defending my territories, against other Grimm.

Reaching the top, I stepped out and broke my ID, putting a wall in-front of me the color and shape of the wall behind me, just in case someone else was there, but there wasn't, it was only Ozpin, so I dropped it.

"Ozpin, Aloi died. She went to train in the forest and the humanoid Grimm from the invasion showed up. I got there just in time to kill him again, and then watch her die. I may have not known her much, and I think I can push through and fight on, but I think Janik probably couldn't take it. I'm worried how the team will work with half of us gone.

"Joakim, You should remember that this kind of thing happens. Admittedly, usually a while later in your careers. That said, having a team of two, you and Sun, assuming he doesn't leave as well, would most likely hamper your training, as well as adversely affecting your team in the Vytal Festival or in missions. Normally, slightly late applicants would fill out any odd numbers, and then we would stop accepting them. Hence why your team could apply despite Beacon having full teams, since you were a full team. However, with the loss of one, and possibly two, given the likelihood that Janik leaves, you would be a team with empty spots with no other people to fill them. I would normally reccom-" Ozpin got cut off by the ringing of his desk, and the deployment of a pair of scrolls on stands.

"If you would give me a moment, I need to take these two calls, if you'll wait in the waiting area downstairs." I nodded and headed out, but just after the elevator started, I overheard a name.

"Winter Schnee, may I ask why you are calling at this hour?"

Winter Schnee... she's probably calling something to do with the invasion, but I'm not sure what. I don't think Winter would answer to Ozpin.


"Welcome back Joakim, while the scenarios leading to this were not the best, thankfully things have worked out. One of those calls were from Winter Schnee, requesting her sister Weiss to accompany her while she is injured. The second call was from the headmaster of Haven academy, following a lead on the whereabouts of one of his students, Sun Wukong. It turns out Sun was already enrolled in Haven, which really just begs the question why he would have faked his transcripts and joined Beacon." Ozpin started.

"I got another brief message from Janik, asking that he be removed from the premises, and he wanted to take time to think about things. In the meantime, I believe it would be best if you were to temporarily join team RWBY while Weiss is with her sister. This should apply to both Jo and Rythian,when he returns, if you were wondering." Ozpin finished. "You can stay in your current room if you wish, but I know Ruby could be quite... Enthusiastic when it comes to team bonding. You should meet up some time through the day during classes and explain the situation. You should contact me if they need proof."

"Okay, I will. I'd probably best get back and prepare for classes. Farewell." I said, before doing my usual ID smashing technique to head to the hallway near the first class, switching into my uniform in my inventory.

I still can't wait for an opportunity for Rythian to "Return" to Beacon. This uniform is kind of uncomfortable.


"And so, that was how I discovered that Goliaths dislike the smell of fresh cheese covered in ground swordfish. Oh, It appears we are near the end of the lesson. I hope you all look forward to tomorrow's lesson. You may all head to lunch.

As Port relayed his story I was making an illusion of the events in the palm of my hand, which was much more interesting than him actually telling it, before cutting it when he stopped, as everyone else woke up.

I shortly caught up to RWBY in the cafeteria.

"Hey, Jo!" Yang yelled out. "Where's your team? I haven't seen any of them all day."

"Well, I'm not sure it's my place to say specifically, but my team kind of fell apart, and it's just me in my own team. But, I did talk to Ozpin, and he decided that I should temporarily be moved to another team, and he reccomended RWBY, although he didn't say why." I replied.

"Well, CRDL is out, for obvious reasons. You would probably destroy them within a day when they tried something. Then it's either us or JNPR. And Weiss just had some family business to get to, so I think that just leaves us." Yang said. "On the bright side, it'll be like a sleepover!"

Oh god.

This is exactly what I was hoping to avoid.
