-Interview Room-
"The real reason why I'm letting you in is that your father is Qrow Brawnen" a mysterious tone of voice is heard in the darkness. The mysterious voice is revealed as Prof. Ozpin. "And lately, I'm being forced to take in some of Signal Academy students since Qrow and your uncle, Taiyang, can't teach that many students at once, right?"
"Y-yes sir" a timid boy who's a 15-year-old boy, the same age as his cousin, Ruby Rose. A light fair skin, deep blue eyes, and white-silver hair. He's around 5'10" and about, 125lbs.
"Now...name please" Prof. Ozpin requested the young boy's name.
"Uh?" the boy was confused over it, "It's Shiro. Shiro Branwen. I already told you who I was. We met at the back of the squad car" Shiro tries to explain the situation towards Prof. Opzin.
"Oh!" Prof. Ozpin tries to remember, "I thought it was another boy who was there. Well, I guess that explains that mystery"
"It wasn't a mystery at all. You sat next to me" Shiro is wondering if Prof. Ozpin is playing coil or if he's actually just doesn't care about him.
"Shinra, my boy" Prof. Ozpin says Shiro's name wrong, so it might be because he doesn't care at all.
"Shiro" he again says his name, "You've said my name wrong all night"
"I couldn't be saying it wrong" Prof. Ozpin corrects him.
"You have" Prof. Goodwitch who has been behind Prof. Ozpin. "You have been calling him by the names of; Shinsuke; Shinra; Shinso, etc."
"Hmm...well let say that I'm doing it on purpose because your father did give me a hard time for his missions" Prof. Ozpin trying to find an excuse for calling Shiro by other names but also just out of spite of Qrow's going dark.
"Well yeah. Me and old man do love going dark. And sometimes he loves to bring me and my cousin, Ruby, into some missions. Controlled but still, missions" Shiro smiles from having missions with his father. "This one time, my cousin single-handedly a bunch of Beowolves, and seeing they don't have bones, so they were newborns"
"You can give an actual newborn a shotgun and it can have the same results" Prof. Goodwitch doesn't seem to be impressed over Ruby's killstreak.
"My cousin should be going Dust shopping right now" Shiro mentioned Ruby is out shopping for new Dust, "I believe I told her that we'll be getting some new Dust since we were running low"
"Perhaps I want to see this Ruby girl" Prof. Ozpin is curious about Qrow's niece. "Glynda" Prof. Ozpin turns to Prof. Goodwitch
"Yes, Ozpin. I'll fetch her" Prof. Goodwitch left the room, "Hoping she won't be too much trouble"
"Now, Santino" Prof. Ozpin turns to Shiro and again got his name wrong, "Tell me, why would Qrow want you to be part of Beacon this early?"
"I honestly don't know why, but I also honestly don't think I'm not that good to be enrolling to Beacon this early" Shiro doubts himself, "But if the old man believes that I have what it takes. Then I won't disappoint him" Shiro smiles for this early enrollment.
"Well, one of us is hoping for that. Because I honestly don't believe you do have what it takes. You're only here because Qrow begs me to do so" Prof. Ozpin is doubting Shiro's abilities. "You're dismissed, and the carrier will be waiting in a week". Prof. Ozpin left the room.
Shiro got permission to leave the police station.
-Streets of Vale-
Shiro is looking around the city. To Shiro, being in the city means that he can do whatever a Huntsmen can do, saving people, being a hero and doing it for the shake of good. Well to Shiro, he still believes that but due of having a father who's always busy in his missions, a mother who dies from childbirth which to him it's the worst day of the year, and Shiro never wants to bother his uncle Tai and his cousins since they too have some hard times. Shiro pulls out his Scroll to make a call to Ruby. "Hey, Rubs" his nickname for her, "How's shopping?"
"It's pretty fine, but I can't find this Dust shop that has the latest issue of DIY Weapons" Ruby is talking about her favourite pass time of being a fangirl of weapons.
"Well I got into a fight with this odd guy but he left and told me that he's off to do something else since he doesn't have time for kids" Shiro explains why he was at the police station.
"Wow! Talk about being caught in a bad situation" Ruby talks about bad timing, "But I'm sure the punishment wasn't that bad. So what did he do to make you jump? You normally don't jump into situations just to fight" Ruby asks why Shiro gets involved.
"He just pushes an old lady aside. At first, I just took as in accident but it quickly turns into a fight" Shiro remembers how it turns. "He's a cunning bastard. I lost that fight but as long that old lady is fine, I guess that what matters the most to me" Shiro doesn't seem to care about that he lost that fight.
"Okay that explains the fight but why did you go to the police station," Ruby asks.
"Well..." Shiro is nervous to say but he can't lie to his cousin, "...this lady was blind and she was kicking my ass. She old and I didn't want to fight back. Plus it was near some police officers, but she drops all the charges once I explain it to them. That was like three hours ago" Shiro time stamp the events. "But try not to cause some trouble today. We do have a habit of causing some actual trouble. Even back at school, we used to cause a riot. Once I find you, I gotta tell you on who I meet..." Shiro is cut off by Ruby.
"Oh! There's the shop! I'm gonna call you later, Shiro!" Ruby excited over finding her favourite magazine "See ya!" Ruby hangs up.
Shiro signs, "Sometimes I believe if her future husband or wife is a weapon, she'll propose in front of them" Shiro talks about Ruby's love of weapons. Shiro continues to walk around the city but he quickly noticed a small gang who's around this small petite lady with an ice cream theme, who might be smaller than him. Shiro continues to overlook them till he quickly noticed her parasol has a blade to slit their throats with an extended blade. Shiro hides and tries to think if she did it out of self-defence but he quickly looks over again but the moment he looks, she was gone. Shiro quickly rushes to the dead bodies and see what happen. Shiro pulls out his Scroll while he turns around but the moment he turns around, he saw the same petite lady who was surrounded by them. Shiro pulls out the long sword that he names is as Excalibur and points it at her. "Who are you?" Shiro asks. The petite lady turns her head as if she couldn't speak. "Can you...speak?" Shiro confused. The petite girl lady like she's surprised then suddenly started to act like she's choking. Shiro was gonna check but noticed that she have her parasol at her side, ready to strike. The petite lady then suddenly jumps at Shiro but the moment she jumps, he summons small black to red circles around his feet. Shiro suddenly kicks but made him go back as if it was a tactical retreat. Small circles appear on his palms once he landed and grabbing the ground but it was the small circles. Shiro moves the circles inwards and once it passes his ankle, it exploded but it sends him flying with a good speed. Shiro keeps Excalibur close to him as a defence if she uses her parasol blade. But she quickly legs split to avoid Shiro attack. The moment Shiro is under the petite lady, she aims the parasol blade upwards but like the previous kick, Shiro kicks the small circle to avoid her strike. Once Shiro landed, he quickly swings Excalibur but the petite lady jumps and holds Excalibur and lets the swing to give her momentum to grab Shiro's head by using her legs to turn Shiro backwards thus landing to the nearest garbage cans. Shiro got up but when he looks up, she disappears again. Shiro keeps his guard till he looks up and sees her coming down with her blade aiming at his head. Shiro blocks it with his blade. Once her parasol blade connected with his Excalibur, smaller black circles appear on his blade. The petite lady quickly noticed and tries to kick her way out it but Shiro quickly overpowers her and once it turns red, it launches her to the nearest wall. The petite lady connected to the wall be she shattered like breaking a window, Shiro quickly rush her to see if she's alright. The moment he's at the wall that she landed, she jumps into the scene like she's breaking into a building and she swings her parasol blade, Shiro blocks the swings with his blade and he jumps to let her swing to slam him onto the wall but he kicks and detached the blade and pulls out a different blade, an ice dust blade and he aims Excalibur downwards. Blue and white circles appear above the petite lady. Shiro kicks and he's not aiming at the petite lady but the circles. The petite lady quickly caught on and jumps away once he connected the circles. Shiro connects the blade with the circles and it creates a large icy field that covers the alleyway. "Oh crap!" Shiro quickly forgot about the bodies that where there. "I got too carried away!" and once Shiro turns his back to his opponent, she against downward strike but unlike the previous attack, she landed on his blade with feet first to get him in the open while he's holding her. The petite lady makes a downward strike but the moment she presses down, the black circles appear as if Shiro instincts want to stop her attack. Shiro quickly backs off while she uses the circles to jump back. She landed while she opens her parasol. She closes her parasol with a cocky smirk like she's only toying with Shiro. "You're good, but you're looking at the youngest student in Beacon History" Shiro brags till she starts doing a mock yawn or an actual yawn since Shiro can't tell if she's playing or not. Both are in ready positions to attack another. Both move forward till her Scroll rings. She puts up her hand and points at her Scroll like she wants permission to talk. "Go ahead" Shiro allows it, "You got the rest of your life to do so". She smiles, turns and listens to whoever on the other end. Shiro looks back and sees that his icy field didn't freeze the bodies. Shiro took this time to change blades from an Ice Dust Blade to a Fire Dust Blade. He keeps his position in a ready position until she finishes her one-sided conversation. She turns and waves. Shiro confused over her gesture but realizes that she's waving goodbye as if she's needed elsewhere. She presses the End Call button and she broke. Literally. "Hey!" Shiro rushes till he remembers it might be another trap. He looks around his surroundings till he thinks she might jump into the rooftops. Shiro withdraws his sword and quickly kicks his red circles to gain a vantage point. He notices her jumping. "You can't rid of me that easily" Shiro talks to himself. Shiro starts kicking his red circles again to gain some speed. Shiro quickly caught up with her. The petite lady looks behind her but she sees nothing till she realizes that she was looking at the wrong shoulder because Shiro is about to draw his blade but he speaks like an idiot, "I've raced with my cousins all the time and I'm used to improvising my movements" Shiro is about to swing while she looks horrified when he's about to swing. Shiro took one big swing but she breaks again. The momentum of his swing causes him to crash on top of the rooftop. Shiro hears another crash but he's too tired to move but he kicks around to see if she landed nearby but nothing. "Damn it. I lost her" Shiro looks down in defeat, "Guess...this is my second loss" Shiro lean and sat on a wall of the rooftops to think. "If she has to crash and the way she moves, it seems like she might be tired too" Shiro talks out loud, "And the more times she uses it, it's likely that her Semblance must be correlated to her Aura". Shiro continues to think about it. "Whatever she's doing tonight, I might be a bump for her and she won't be at 100% or won't be involved with anything. But I don't envy anyone who has to deal with her. Because she could beat a Huntsmen or a Huntress. There's no way a normal police officer would take her down" Shiro admits that she's too good for anyone could handle. "I should head home" Shiro looks for a way down.
-Motel-
Shiro enters into a motel room with a large pizza but he's too tired to eat it. Once he closes his door, he immediately went to bed, dropping the pizza to the floor and start to dream but his memory.
-Memories: Fishing Trip-
"Hey, dad" Shiro who's 8 while Qrow is fishing with him, "Why do my Semblance have these small circles?"
"I honestly don't know, Shiro" Qrow is just laying down while he's waiting for a bite. "But every Semblance can be the same but unique in their way"
"So my Semblance can be unique if I do it my way?" Shiro asks
"But you can also learn new ways from others" Qrow pets Shiro, "Maybe one day, you might even become the best Huntsmen than your old man here"
Both laugh it off, "Dad! Your fishing rod!"
"Crap!" Qrow noticed his fishing rod is being stolen by a fish.
-Motel-
Shiro woke up from his sleep with a smile and a tear going down from his face. Shiro noticed a small version of a flying fish above him, "Damn that laughing fish". Shiro then pulls out his Scroll to see the news or calls. He noticed a missed call from Ruby and listen to the voice mail.
"Shiro! Guess what!" an excited Ruby over the other side is talking like her birthday came around, "You won't believe who I met last night!"
Shiro grins.
