I've been using Adiac's map of Beacon Academy that he's posted on Deviantart. If you guys ever get lost on where characters are, then you can refer to it for reference ( adiac/art/RWBY-Map-of-Beacon-Academy-v1-with-Legend-750333225) I'm not sure if it would heighten the reading experience but I just wanted to give credit to him since his map has been really helpful in planning and writing this chapter.

Another peaceful day at Beacon was unfolding as the sun unleashed its rays onto the academy sitting that sat upon the cliffside. The birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, and various object were whizzing past a man who was frantically running away?

Crap, crap, crap, crap, CRAP! Hans jumped over to his left, narrowly avoiding a plank of wood from behind. Such deadly accuracy! I REALLY SCREWED UP THIS TIME! Hans took a quick glance behind him to see Glynda heading towards him with numerous items floating around her with a large rock being prepped to be launched at him. I've gotten a lot further from her, but she just uses her semblance on everything I try to hide behind! As Hans continued to run, he saw a group of students ahead walking towards him, most likely trying to get to the cafeteria.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Hans yelled at the top of his lungs. The students were caught off-guard and just stood there looking dumbstruck at the professor. Hans had no choice but to stop his momentum to avoid crashing so he pushed his heels into the ground. Stopping right before the group, Hans turned around ready to avoid anything thrown his way but the sight he saw took him a second to process. Glynda stood still in the middle of the walkway with all the objects she had collected with her semblance on the floor around her.

It didn't take long for Hans to figure out why Glynda has stopped her assault and he couldn't help but smirk as he realized what was going on. She was avoiding getting the students caught in the crossfire and it was going to be even more difficult soon as the hallways and walkways would soon be filled to brim with students as they left their dorms. Hans turned around and weaved his way past the students that were still in front of him and started his sprint once more while letting out a howling laugh, "HAHAHAHAHA, GOOOOOOOODBYE GLYNDA".

Appalled by Hans' behavior Glynda closed her eyes and took deep breaths to try to calm herself but as time passed the more the grip on her weapon tightened and the more her body trembled in rage until finally she reached her boiling point. This man must be taught a lesson. Her eyelids slowly opened up revealing the intense rage that was hiding behind them and then it happened… Glynda broke out into a sprint. The students that were frozen in place jumped out of the way for their combat instructor.

Hans was now jogging as he continued to slip past groups of students walking in the opposite direction. He felt a tinge guilt for using the students as shields but there was no real danger for them. What a lucky break. I'm going to hit a fork in the road up ahead soon, I could head left towards more of the student's dorms or I could trick her by going right towards the administrative buildings.

As Hans pondered what to do next his concentration was interrupted by the distant and rapid sound of clacking. That familiar sound… it couldn't be. Hans turned his head to try to see what the source was but the only thing he could see was the crowd of students along the pathway. As the clacking got closer Hans realized that students further in the distance were moving out onto the grass to make way for something. Hans pace began to quicken unconsciously. Fear began to seize his body once more. His head was glued in place as he began to start bumping into students. There's no way…

The students were moving onto the grass were like sand being pushed aside by some beast that was tunneling its way towards Hans. The clacking was getting closer and his mind screamed at him to run as death was approaching but the fear and curiosity gripped his body. It's almost in sight.

Suddenly, burst out of the crowd of students, showing herself to Hans finally. Her hair wild and undone, her blood-shot eyes were filled with fire, sweat covered her entire body, her feet swollen red from running in heels, and there was an aura of malice around her.

Hans quickly turned his head back around and began sprinting at all his might. Students quickly made a path for the two as they saw the chase. There's no way she could outrun me right?! RIGHT?! I-I-I just need to get as far away as I can! W-Wait a second! WHICH TURN DID I TAKE?! As the number of students he passed became smaller and the direction they were going was the same as his , Hans realized that he had made a grave mistake while he wasn't paying attention. As he passed another group of students, what Hans saw in front of him filled him with despair… it was a clear path. Hans heard the sound of something being uprooted before being sent flying his way.

Hans heartbeat quickened to double its current rate and his eyes widened as his surroundings seemed to move slower.

Hans jumped to the side while twisting his body to the side, narrowly dodging a tree but causing him to stumble as he landed. This was only the beginning of the assault though as Hans was forced to dodge an entire lamppost and a bench next. Hans reacted more gracefully this time, weaving his way out of their designated paths. It won't be that easy-

A larger tree was launched at Hans horizontally forcing him to jump upward but because of the height it was being sent Hans would have to arch his body backward. This maneuver was able to save him but from a full-on clash but the branches of the ripped through the back of his coat. It also left him stationary once he finally landed. I was able to widen the distance between us but she's got a unlimited amount of resources to throw at me out here and I can't keep this up forever. I need somewhere safer QUICK! Hans took a quick look around his surroundings before deciding to sprint towards through one of the administrative buildings. I'll just cut through here and lose her once I get out on the other side! Getting to the building wasn't easy for Hans though as he had to bob and weave through a number of objects before finally crashing through the door of the building. He wasn't able to get any further from as the constant dodging had slowed down his pace but the amount of space between them was enough for her to lose sight of him as he got out the other side of the building.

Before Hans stood Beacon Tower. He was at the center of the academy but still had no idea where he wanted to run to. Where-to-hide?!Wheretohidewheretohide! As Hans ran right along the walkway that encircled Beacon Tower, he found a grove of trees. Glynda still hadn't made it through the building yet so this was the opportune time and place to hide. Getting off the path and diving behind the largest tree in the vicinity, Hans gasped for air as his bodily functions returned to normal. He tried to listen to the sound of clacking over his heavy breathing and was relieved to hear nothing. Maybe I finally lost her. Hans peered his head out from the tree hoping not to see her but was quickly disappointed. Somewhere along the way she had ditched her heels it seemed, and it looked she was interrogating students on Hans whereabouts. Hans quickly retreated his head behind the tree and sat with his back against the tree. Live or die… it was worth it.

"You look like you've been through hell", a calm voice called out above Hans.

Shocked, Hans instantly turned his head to the voice fearful that it was somehow Glynda. Relief washed over him as he realized it was just a student perched on the branch of the tree he was hiding behind. She had long black hair and a black ribbon on top of her head that resembled cat ears.. In her hands was a book whose cover matched the color of the hair. Hans couldn't make out any letters on the cover but that didn't really matter to him. He leaned back onto the tree and tried to remember this student's name. She looks familiar… Was she part of Team RWBY?

"Sorry if I bothered, you're reading session. I'm running away from someone right now… Bella?".

"It's Blake. The rumors about you were true after all".

"My bad".

"It's fine, I don't really care. Anyways, this someone must be a quite a monster if it has one of Beacon's professors running for his life".

"She's much worse than a monster… She's a demon!"

"She?" Filled with curiosity, Blake took her eyes away from Hans and peered out towards where Hans had came from. "Umm professor, you're not referring to are you?"

"I am. What's she doing?"

"It looks like she's talking to some students".

Hans gulped. Hopefully, none of the students will rat me out.

"So… why's she chasing you?"

"It's, um, complicated".

"I guess you'll just have to tell me another time then"

"Oh sorry, did you want to get back to reading?"

"No, because she's coming this way right now".

Hans was about to shout out in fear but stopped himself by clasping his hands around his mouth. Tears began to fill his eyes. Not like this.

"It was nice knowin-" Blake said as she turned towards her professor. She could only get a glimpse Hans' face but she saw enough to feel pity.

"Ms. Belladonna, have you seen professor Iron?" asked Ms. Goodwitch several meters away.

"Yeah, I saw him running towards the cafeteria".

"Damn that swine. Ofcourse he'd run back there".

It was silent in the small grove for a minute before Hans let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you Blake", Hans said with a trembling voice, "I'll remember this for the rest of my life".

Blake closed her book and spoke again to Hans, "I expect a good explanation now".

"Oh right. So where to start…" Hans closed his eyes as the events leading up to now filled his mind, "So it all began in the cafeteria. I was a little drowsy from the previous night thanks to a certain student, so I wasn't completely there. I was going to get in line to get some food when there it was… an unguarded plate of delicious food calling out for me".

"You're… not being serious are you?"

"I AM! And this wasn't the first time this had happened too… The line was just so long and I was just so hungry! THIS HAD TO BE A SETUP. I WAS HOODWINKED!"

Blake jumped off her branch and landed in front of Hans, "I find it hard to believe that started chasing after you because of some food."

"Well, uh, that isn't the sole reason", Hans began to blush and let out a nervous laugh.

"Ok, well what other reasons were there?"

"Well, I didn't have my tie on which pissed her off".

"I doubt she'd be that mad about your tie".

"You'd be surprised. That wasn't the final straw for her though".

"I figured. So, what was it?"

"When she began to interrogate me about the food… I may have let it slip that… I was at a nightclub with two students…"

"So that rumor really is true…" Blake said with a hint of disgust on her face.

"IT'S COMPLICATED!" With a dejected look, Hans begins to get up on his feet.

"So what are you going to do now? You aren't going to just keep running away from are you?"

"I haven't really thought that far ahead. I was more concerned with escaping Glynda".

"Maybe you should apologize".

"Apolo-what? Don't be silly, that'd never work… atleast I don't think it would". Blake shrugged at Hans response and turned to leave before being interrupted by Hans, "Hey, wait! Where are you going?"

Without turning around Blake answered, "To class. Where else?"

"You're not going to help me figure out what to do?"

"Why would I do that?"

"Because you're my accomplice now!"

Blake turned around to professor Iron again "I never agreed to help you professor".

"Uh, yes you did".

"What? When?"

"When you lied to Glynda?"

"I only did that because I felt bad for you. Are you really gonna hold that against me?"

"I'm not trying to blackmail you or anything but as you can tell… I'm really bad at keeping secrets. If Glynda gets her hands on me, there's no telling what will happen! I'll probably spill the bean on how I was able to evade her in the grove."

"Unbelievable…" Blake let out a sigh and paused. She stood in place with her arms crossed and looked at Hans with narrowed eyes. Is he actually being genuine? She didn't sense any malicious intent from him. Maybe I could just deny any allegations he made… She looked Hans up and down once again. "Ugh, fine".

Upon hearing his student's willingness to help, Hans yelled out, "AWESOME!" and threw his hand out for a high five.

Still a little reluctant, Blake slowly returned the high five before asking, "So what exactly are we doing?"

Hans spoke with a serious voice, "Our objective is to pacify the combat instructor, Glynda Goodwitch".

"Alright, so how are we going to do that?"

"That's where you come in Blake! Come up with an idea for me!"

"Wha- HOW?!" Blake looked confused and annoyed, "You expect me to just come up with a magical solution to your problem?"

"Exactly!"

"Again, why don't you just apolo-"

"No no no, that'd never work. She'd kill me before I even got to say anything to her".

Blake started to ponder the situation while Hans waited patiently. "She's not mad only because of the events that transpired this morning, right?"

"Correct. She's been upset about me being an incapable professor in the past".

"Then why don't you prove to her that you're a capable professor?"

"I'm not really sure how to do that. I've been trying to come up with an idea all week... well maybe not all week but I have given it some thought but I've got no clue."

Blake began to look at a sheathed dagger that was hanging from Hans' hips.

"What're you looking-" Hans was confused by her gaze, "Wait, you're not thinking-"

Blake shook her head to confirm Hans' rambling. "What other way is there to prove yourself in 's eyes?"

Hans gulped. Blake just might be right. Either that or she's trying to get me killed so rat her out. It didn't take long for Hans to be filled with resolve though. "You're right Blake. No more running. It's time to end this!" His eyes were filled with determination and he exuded an air of confidence. "Thank you. I was right to choose you as my advisor".

"You mean force?"

"C'mon don't be like that. I wouldn't snitched if I was being interrogated by anyone else. Glynda though… she's a whole different story".

"It's whatever. I'll take the upcoming battle as compensation. I'll be watching from the sidelines".

Glad to see that Blake wasn't too upset with him, Hans let out a chuckle, "You're betting on me right?"

"Nope", Blake quickly answered

Hans wasn't surprised by her answer and took this almost as a challenge. It was time to do the impossible and show Glynda and Blake what he was truly made of. I can do this. Hans had a smug expression on his face and reached for his weapons he had brought for the day. If he was on a mission, he would have handpicked an arsenal of weapons to cover any situation that would rear itself but since he was only going to instruct classes today he only brought two. Because he didn't foresee any confrontation, he randomly selected two weapons off the floor while he was half-awake. I've got a dagger today and… Hans hands reached around to the back of his hip. He usually concealed his ranged weapons here. WHY THE HELL DID I BRING THIS?!

"What's wrong professor? You started making a weird face".

"Oh, uh, um, its uh, nothing".

"If you say so", Blake replied with a quizzical look, "You don't plan at attacking her with just a dagger, do you?"

"O-Ofcourse not!" Hans kept his right hand clutched on the weapon behind him, "Umm, you wouldn't happen to have any weapons with you by any chance would you Blake?"

"…No, why?"

"Well it's just that… well I do have another weapon and… it's… too dangerous! Yeah… Yeah! I wouldn't want to actually hurt Glynda with it!"

With a raised eyebrow, Blake followed up with another question, "Really? What is it?"

"It's a secret! I can't tell you".

"Alright then? Fine".

Hans was hiding behind another tree in the grove and peering out at his target; Glynda Goodwitch. She had fixed her hair and wiped out all the sweat from her face while Blake and Hans were conversing. She hadn't found her heels, yet she was still walking around and questioning students on Hans' whereabouts. Blake sat on the branch of a nearby tree watching the two with anticipation.

Glynda's a formidable opponent. Hans thought to himself. Her semblance gives her a huge advantage at further ranges. She can use it to attack foes from afar and stop any projectiles that approach her. Even if I had a firearm it'd be next to useless against her. The only chance I have is to rush her but she's about 150 meters away... Even if I catch her off guard, I won't be fast enough to close the gap between us without her noticing. If only I could hasten my speed higher than double… My only option now is to her daze before charging in. I'll have to use that but it's not like I have any other choice…

When Glynda began to question a student with her back turned the grove, Hans took this opportunity to begin his plan and he stepped out of the grove.

So he's finally going for it. Blake stared intensely at Hans, watching every little movement he made, curious about what Hans was going to do. He walked a few meters out of the grove before standing firmly in place and reaching for the weapon behind his back. Blake's upper body lurched forward. So much for a secret weapon. After a moment of hesitation, Hans finally revealed his trump card; A curved piece of wood with crude drawings on it. Huh… Blake looked at the weapon agape before doing a double take. YOUR SECRET WEAPON IS A BOOMERANG?! Wait, does it transform into another weapon or something? Hans aimed carefully and threw the boomerang at a wide arc to his left with all his might. IT REALLY IS JUST A BOOOMERANG!

"HEY GLYNDA!" shouted Hans with a cracked voice.

Upon hearing her name being called, turned. Her face didn't shift in anyway but the demonic aura she exuded earlier poured out all at once. "So you've finally showed yourself, and you're not running away?"

As she was about to take a step towards Hans, he quickly shouted back, "Y-Yeah, before you come over here to kill me I just wanted to say… I'm, um, REALLY SORRY!

At this moment, the boomerang began to arc towards . So that's his plan. To confuse her with a surprise attack while he's distracting her. Will this really work?

Glynda closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her grip on the riding crop eased and she let out a deep sigh. "Fine , I accept your apology".

"HUH?"

HUH, Blake and Hans gasped and thought at the same time.

"I don't know why I've been acting unbecoming of a senior master because of your actions but after hearing your apology, I feel-"

Before could finish what she was saying, the boomerang finally reached it destination; causing a loud WHACK as it hit the side of Glynda's head. The force of the collision caused Glynda's head to shift to the left and forced her glasses off her face.

Hans stood in place. He had completely forgot about his plan to charge after confusing her. He was just motionless. Not even his heart dared to beat.

Glynda pressed her hand against the area of impact and glared down at the object that had landed in front of her after connecting to her head. She reached down and picked it up and examined it in front of her face. Her grip suddenly tightened on it and veins on her forehead started to bulge out as the boomerang crumpled before her might.

"MY BOOMERANG!"

Glynda quickly glared at Hans as soon as he spoke out. Her visage was dark, and her eyes filled once again with fury but quickly narrowed to small slits as to if to hide them. A creepy smile adjourned her face and she spoke to Hans once more, "Oh, so that primitive toy was yours Hans?"

When Glynda uttered his name, he felt waves fear crashing throughout his body. "Um, uh, y-yeah. I-I, uh, seemed to have m-misplaced it".

Glynda began to walk towards Hans as the pupils in the slit of her eyes locked on to Hans and everything around began to levitate.

"I-I'm r-really s-s-s-sorry Glyn- I, uh, mean Ms.G-Goodwitch".

"Oh, you will be", Glynda replied in a cold voice, "you will be".

"W-Wait! Please! I-I can explain! S-STAY AWAY! NOOOOOOOOO!"

Blake, who was also frozen in place, turned away in horror and left her professor alone to his fate.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

A/N: I hope I didn't keep you guys waiting too long for this chapter. I was going to split this into chapter into two parts but was worried I wouldn't get alot of chances in the future to write the second half so I forced myself to finish as soon as possible. I also realized that some may find it irritating to read unfinished chapters (thanks to William Stockholm's review [I'd also like to thank Nightshock99 as I wouldn't have been motivated to write this much without his kind evaluation]) so I'll try not to post chapters in parts in the future. As always, I'm open to criticism and would love to hear any and all thoughts you guys have about my how the story is going. Don't be afraid to pm me or leave a review! Anyways thanks again to everyone for reading this far! I'll see you in the next chapter ^.^
