Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Bewitched Bond. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.
The second Glynda saw the bullhead and watched Crim climb out of the aircraft? She remembered everything she didn't like him.
The annoying smirk that just bled nothing but snarky optimism rather than professionalism, the black long coat that contrasted her white, the damnable blue eyes which made her want to slug him.
Crim spiked his black hair and looked at Glynda. He did clash with the headmistress a lot.
His white boots, his green fingerless gloves, his black pants and red undershirt. He cleaned off his face and walked forward.
"Hello, Cemil." She stated with all the joy she could muster which was the equivalent of watching wet fireworks go off.
"Hello Glyn hen." Her eye twitched as she fought the urge to strangle the master Huntsmen who formerly attended beacon only to leave Vale for Vacuo.
Why did he call her that? Because for the few years he stayed in Vale after graduating when she applied for her teaching position instead of heading out into the world like the rest of their class?
She doted on her students… Like baby chicks… And Crim NEVER stopped reminding her of it.
"I assume you got the message that was sent out?" Crim hummed and patted at his belt before humming and pulling out a printed form of the message Glynda sent.
"Yeah… Oz bit the bullet, right?" He asked. Glynda nodded before Crim smirked.
He knew, he always knew how to read facial expressions. Glynda frowned with annoyance before rubbing at her temples.
"So, you took over the nest then? I always knew the Wizard would hand you the keys to the Emerald City." She reached for her weapon before he turned serious once again.
"I got your message, Glyn, when team COPR broke up… He wanted me to serve as his second. I'm going to settle in." Crim stated before walking towards the front door.
"We both know Oz's tricks if you forgot." Glynda turned to greet the other new arrivals.
She didn't enjoy being reminded of her time as a student of Beacon. She rubbed at her eyes and used her Semblance to push up her glasses.
(29 years ago.)
"And would you like to tell me why you broke 2 other student's noses?" Ozpin asked while a 17-year-old Crim looked to the side.
"They kept insulting her and calling her 'crappy crone', 'four eyes', or 'snitch witch'. I wasn't going to let them get away with her. She's as new as me and she's shy. She keeps looking at her shoes." Crim turned to the camera footage.
A group of 3 rowdy boys was mocking a blonde-haired girl with broken round glasses. They either mocked her dropping her books or made jokes about her appearance that went from being perverted to being mean spirted.
Ozpin watched as Crim confronted them, they told him to 'screw off' or something along those lines.
Crim responded by knocking the leader down with a box before another of the men tried to slug Crim.
He caught it, powered through a punch that very obviously hit his stomach directly and not Aura.
He elbowed the other man who crashed into a stack of desks and caused blood to gush from his nose. He took a punch that cause blood to gush from his mouth and blackened his eye.
Crim then turned around and punched the other man in the nose, causing an audible crack before kicking him into a ladder which toppled over.
He brushed off his gloves and bent down to help her.
"Hey, I'm Cemil… But my friends call me 'Crim', you look like you need a buddy, so you just call me Crim… And uh, don't hug me, I don't think red is your color." He joked as Glynda looked up at her fellow teen.
"I'm not apologizing, teach. They had that coming… They went after her like a wild pack of dogs." He could hear the other kids screaming and threatening to involve their rich parents in another room.
"Do you even know who that is, Mr. Cardinal?" Ozpin asked, brushing his white hair aside.
Crim shrugged and rubbed at his aching knuckles. The meatheads had thick skulls; he'd give them that.
"Nope. I didn't hear it before the teachers pulled me here. She looked a lot like a Rebecca or something." Ozpin tapped his cane on the ground with amusement.
"Her name is Glynda, Mr. Cardinal. She's a first year… Like you. you've never done more than amusing pranks… Now you've graduated to physical altercations?" Ozpin asked. Crim shook his head and looked Ozpin dead in the eye.
"No… Just standing up for a lady who looked like they needed a friend, Professor… And I'd do it again if they or any other blowhard SOB who bothers her or anyone else on the school again." He said with a smirk.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out I was going to make Glynda the leader of a team, but I can't find a color that fit… As for COPR? I'm sure you guys can tell who is on the team, I didn't mean to make it close to RUST. Next chapter will be on Sunday or so and will show Glynda and Crim talking again and more of their past along with the forming of team COPR.
Ps: Ruby's chapter is 1500 words on Sunday. Yang's chapter is on Saturday. Winter's chapter is 1200 words and Raven is on next Thursday or so.
