Chapter 3
All the students go to the side of the limo and look at the school. "Damn I know school looks like a castle but this takes the cake wouldn't you say Ren" says Jaune to the boy with the streak as he looks at the grey and dark blue building. "Yeah this place is grand but I have to say I'm more of a fan of ours" says Ren as he looks at the building "Never really a fan of grey being the main color" says Ren as he moves back and grabs his bag. Blake speaks "I prefer this color honestly, Beacon colors are too bright" disagree the faunes as she grabs her purse and takes the bag to her side. Pyrrha agrees with Jaune "Ya this looks great right Jaune?" She asks but her attempt at conversation falls flat "Ya sure" says the blond before moving back to his seat.
"I suggest that you all grab your belongings, the headmaster will be greeting you all once you exit" says the driver as everyone listens and grabs all their suitcases and personal items. "So are you ready?" Ask Whitley while adjusting the straps of his bag. "Uhh yeah though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous" says Oscar as he grabs his suitcase. The limo then stops and six of them exit expecting a formal greeting, instead they see a giant stage in front of the main entrance with an entire show going on with multiple students dancing and singing about welcoming them to the school(yeah sorry to anyone who wants a song but I suck at that) the doc just stand there all dumbstruck about what is happening in front of them. "Welcome! Students of beacon college!" The six of them jump from the sudden yelling and turn around to see a tall man with his face concealed by a half-mask resembling a raven's beak. He's wearing a greatcoat over his suit. Thick blackbird feathers curl out from its blue-collar, while the tips of the coat are cut to resemble two bird wings. He wears black gloves on either hand, with golden claw rings over each of his fingers. Three mirror-like accessories are attached to his hip, with four golden keys dangling from them. He wears another mirror-like charm on his hat, which has three more keys - making a total of seven. The final accessory is staff that's shaped like a key, with a golden raven as its handle.
All of them are too shocked to even answer, when suddenly another men approached "Don't worry you get used to it" says a person from behind.
Everyone looks behind them seeing a man that his hair is split down the middle one side is white and the other black. He has narrow grey eyes and wears silver studs in his ears.
Beneath a thick, black-and-white furry coat, wearing a tuxedo - consisting of a black dress shirt, red tie, a black-and-white vest, black dress pants, black dress shoes, and a black belt with a silver buckle, studs, and spiky sections. He also wears red gloves.
The man just gives them all a smile as the masked man from before walks up to him. "Hello to you all my name is Divus Crewel and this is headmaster Dire Crowley of Night Raven college" says Divus as he spins his hand while Crowley gives the students a bow. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you and have all of you attend my school even if only for a short period of time" says Crowley as he spins on his heels and begins walking leaving the students behind before Divus does a follow motion with his hands. "Now while your here at Night Raven college you will all be assigned to one of are dormitories of which there are nine" says Crowley as he continues to walk forward not even taking a glance behind himself to make the students are keeping pace which is a slight challenge considering the luggage they have to drag with them. They arrive at two wooden doors and pulls out a set of keys before opening the doors to reveal seven people standing under seven different banners.
The teens look around seeing them. The headmaster hums wild twirling the keys when he moves to the side signals the new arrivals to step forward to the middle. "Now would you guys be so kind to intrude yourselfs" he motions to the guys on the other side of the room.
The first to step up is a muscular young-man with brown skin. He has thick, messy brown hair with two braids on either side. He also has green eyes, with a thin scar going to his left eyebrow to his cheek. His outfit consists of a dark yellow, sleeveless shirt with a deep v-neck. On top of his shirt he wears a leather vest along worn-out grey jeans, with faded brown chaps on-top, brown shoes. A belt with a variety of fabrics and a yellow bandana with a logo on it that looks like a lion face. He wears a wide variety of accessories, such as a loose beaded choker, he also has a golden necklace,two bracelets which have the same beads from his choker and a golden bracelet with similar plating to his necklace. In addition to these accessories, he wears black gloves and has a lion tattoo on his left arm. "I'm Leona Kingscholar the leader of the Savanaclaw dormitory" says Leona with pride in his voice before backing while the next boy walks up. He has wavy hair that is a silver-blue hue. It is parted to the right and has one lock of long hair along the left side of his face. His eyes are a darker color than his hair and is of a turquoise-blue hue.

He also wears purple socks and is seen wearing a pair of black slacks accompanied by black dress shoes. His scarf has a logo on it that looks like a sea shell with tentacles around the edges and he carries a black cane with a silver handle resembling an octopus. "Hello there everyone my name is Azul Ashengrotto and I am the leader of the Octavinelle dorm" says Azul with a happy tone before moving back as two people step up.
One is a very ornate, with a dark red half-turban decorated with jewels and two parrot feathers tied around short and choppy white hair. He has dark skin, decorated with white, lacy tattoos. He wears a black and gold open long vest, and a belt resembling safety tape wrapped around his torso/waist, with the long end trailing down.

He wears black parachute pants with red flame designs and black sandals with a gold scarab design. He has many different articles of golden jewelry. The other has dark skin, dark eyes, and long, dark hair, with some locks in tight braids. He has noticeably less jewelry and accessories than his friend. He has gold bangles on his left wrist, a thick choker, small hair accessories on the ends of his braids, and a snake armband that curls on his upper right arm. The snake and choker match with friend. He wears a cropped black vest with gold detail and red lapels over a sleeveless black hoodie with red trim on the inside, plain other than the gold design on the hood. Like his friend , he wears a belt resembling safety tape wrapped around his waist, with the long end trailing down. The belt is imprinted with the same name as his friend, along with a snake insignia. Under his hoodie, he has dark red cloth wrapped around his waist with gold designs on it. He wears black parachute pants with red flame designs and black sandals with a gold scarab design.
"Hello there I'm Kalim the leader of the Scarabia dormitory and this is my vice leader Jamil" says happily says Kalim as Jamil just waves to them. Jamil then pulls Kail back as another boy walks up while looking like he doesn't want to be there. He has fiery blue hair which flows down below his waist. He is tall and pale with yellow irises and blue shadow with blue lips. With shadows over his eyes and worried eyebrows.
"Hi my names Idia Shroud leader of the Ignihyde dorm" says Idia quickly as he then moves back while another boy with red, mid-length hair that curves inward, V-shaped bangs covering his forehead, side bangs, and two strands of hair forming a heart on top of his head. He has a stern look and silver eyes. His outfit consists of a white and red coat dress with the bottom being lined with a gold-coloured fabric. The inside of the coat dress is entirely red and has a pattern consisting of tiny hearts, spades, diamonds, clovers, and crowns. He also wears white trousers. "I am Riddle Rosehearts the leader of the Heartslabyul dorm and I expect that you follow the rules" says Riddle in a serious tone. He then moves back as the final boy walks up. He is a tall, beautiful man with shoulder-length blonde hair and violet eyes. His nails are painted indigo and his hair is in an updo. He wears a long, furisode-like indigo robe which drags on the floor, and has high slits in the sleeves. The inner fabric is red with a regal pattern displaying a poison apple. An intricate golden design bearing an emblem is also printed on the right shoulder of his robe. Beneath the slits of his sleeves, he wears a tighter, black long-sleeved garment. His sleeves form a pointed shape on the back of his hand and tie around his middle fingers. He also wears tight black pants beneath his robe, as well as high-heeled black boots with golden linings. "Why hello to you all I'm Vil Schoenheit the leader of the Pomefiore dorm and I must say you all look lovely" says Vil as he moves back. Divus then walks up to the group. "Now that all of the leaders have introduced themselves we will sort you into the dorms you'll be staying at while here. Any questions before we begin?" Ask Divus as Oscar raises his hand. "Ahh yes, you uhh Oscar was it" says Divus as everyone looks at Oscar. "Uhh well I was just wondering about the last banner at the right, the green and black one" says Oscar as he points to the last one. Everyone looks at it as Divus face palms. Suddenly the doors open up and a pale skin boy with green eyes and long dark hair.His nails are painted black. He wears an ornate shirt, gloves, and black and green pants and boots. Around his belt, he has spools of thread. He uses a cape with many patterns of rose stalks with thorns, with a badge of a dragon head made of silver, pinning the cape onto his left torso, with 2 ropes dangling from the badge. He walks up to his spot and stands straight up. "Ahh this is the final dorm leader of the Diasomnia dorm Malleus Draconia. Sorry for forgetting you again" says Divus as Malleus just nods. "It's alright" says Malleus. "Alright then now that they have all been introduced let us continue sorting you six into the dorms" says Crowley making his presence known again by reappearing behind the six making them jump.
Blake was the one to ask a question "Ah how we would do that?" As an answer the crow theme man just smiles as he walks up to a wall making everyone including the dorms leaders confused. "Mmmm what a drag" mumbles Leona as he watches Crowley pull a candle with a heardable click and with that the wall slides away showing a corridor surprising everyone except the other teacher. "What!?" Jaune slightly yells seeing the hidden corridor, as Oscar voices their reactions I thought they were just in cartoons and anime!" Never imagining seeing it in real life.
The headmaster of the college signals everyone to follow him. They all look at each other before shrugging and following the headmaster down the tunnel not knowing what to expect from the crow themed man while wondering what he had in store for them. The dorm's leader sees the group walk into a corridor with Divus starting to walk inside the corridor but stops as he turns to the leaders "You are coming with us so walk". He waits near the corridor for the dorm's leaders to follow the lion faunes signs but stands "Let get this over" he moves to the corridor with the rest following.
"Jamil what you think we find" ask Kalim to his friend in a very excited tone. The long hair boy response "i don't know" when the last dorm leader walks in, Divus walk in and closes the entrance.
Time skip
"Mmm interesting" Azul says as he pushes his glasses up.
They arrived at a gym only to see that it was filled with all sorts of things from exercise and sports equipment to a full blown stage with multiple outfits. "So this is why the gym was closed last week" says Azul with an amused look on his face as Crowley just walks to the front. "Now then I've converted the gym into the perfect place to test each of you and find the best dorm to have you stay at, now them line up over and we shall begin" says Crowley as the six leave their bags and go to do the test.
Timeskip brought by Oscar waking up in the velvet room but it's an elevator with a different woman holding a book next to Igor and looking slightly confused.
Leona snorts seeing another fail attempt from Oscar "This is so pathetic that it amusing" with the others trying not to laugh well except Riddles who just have eyes of pity. The farm boy is on the chemical set as he was covered from head to toe in soot from the trying to combine two of the most safest chemicals, but somehow he made it explode on his face.
Jaune does "That was easy" he says when he turns to a dying plant he puts just one drop and the plant rejuvenates. Vil applouts as he smiles "That was great! Good for a beginner!" He celebrates finally seeing one of those potatoes to join his dorm.
"Alright everyone that's enough" says Divus as they all line up in front of the dorm leaders. "Now then we have all seen your performances and have decided which dorms you will all be in taken to your new dorms by the leaders so grab your belongings and wait patiently. Everyone does as they're told and grab all of their bags and begin their journey to the dorms with Oscar being the last one left. He looks around a bit seeing only two dorm leaders left there. "So I assume that I'll be heading with one of you?" Oscar asks with a bit of hope in his voice. Leona looks slightly offended at the statement. "You think after that performance you'll be joining my dorm!" Says Leona In a tone that made Oscar feel very small and intimidated. "Now, now Leona no need to scare the boy," says Azul as he grabs Leona's shoulder. He then looks at Oscar. "I apologize for his behavior but I have to inform you that you weren't able to pass any of the tests" says Azul as Oscar gains a shocked expression before looking down disappointed. "Now now don't get all moopy you actually did decently on most of the test given, *except for two* but you just didn't do well enough in one specific field for us to make a decision" says Crowley as he walks up and puts his hand on his shoulder. "But don't worry we have one extra dorm that is perfect for you" happily says Crowley as he moves Oscar forward guiding him off to who knows where as the others begin to head back to their dorms as well.
Small timeskip brought by chibi beacon students doing a fashion show during the test
Oscar looks up at the old building that Crowley had brought him to. It was definitely old but still looked like it would hold up well for a couple of more years with faded blue paint on the walls and grey window stills. "Now then this was an extra dorm house I had built specifically for students like you that didn't specialize in any one talent the school offered. But alas it's stayed unused sense it was built as practically all the students that enroll all do have a specialize in one or another this leaving it here to be empty, but now you get the honor of being the first ever member of this dorm which by default leaves you as the dorm leader for your stay" says Crowley clearly more excited for this then Oscar is. He then places a key into the boy's hand. "This is the master key of the dorm it unlocks and locks all the doors in here so just go inside and pick a room" says Crowley as he begins to walk away before stopping. "Ahh and do be warned even though I haven't sent the cleaners in a while so there may be some dust you'll have to deal with" and with that he walks away and Oscar is left alone.
The tan boy feels depressed "It looks like i'm gonna,be alone in this dorm" he mumbles but walks up to the old dorm. He opens the door and hears it creek, he sees everything covered by plastic and covered by dust. For being old but it looks in good condition, he takes out his scroll and turns on the flashlight when he closes the door behind him "I never thought it was this dark but better get started '' Oscar said as he starts to clean the living room.
Time skip thanks to Oscar falling into a Tv meeting a mascot bear
The lights were now on and most of the plastic has been removed from the furniture. Oscar was vacuuming the carpet after he found a closet filled with cleaning supplies, he had a small layer of dust all over his clothes thanks to all the dust he had to clean off of things not covered in plastic. The vacuuming continues for a few minutes until he arrives at the kitchen and the carpet turns to tiles. He looks at them and sees that they are surprisingly clean for a building this old and full of dust. "Ehh just means that I don't have to mop'' says Oscar as he enters and looks around finding all the usual necessities of a kitchen, marble counter, draws for silverware and other needs, cabinets, a medium sized table(probably for quick snacks considering the dining room he cleaned not to long ago), two sinks and a fridge. He walks up to the sink and turns it on revealing(much to his relief)that the place still had running water, he then turns it off before checking the cabinets and fridge to see them all empty. "Not really sure what I was expecting" says Oscar with a bit of disappointment in his voice. He then takes a seat and looks around the white kitchen.
While Oscar is about to do something (what that is he doesn't know) when suddenly he hears a knock on the door "Coming!" Yells the farm boy as he get up and opens the door seeing "oh hello" he greats seeing Azul on the door way carrying a basket with some food, the fedora wearing teen just shrugs and gives oscar the basket "Well you miss lunch and i see you got the abounded dorm so i thought you were hungry" he explains with Oscar taking the basket and looks down. He smiles "Thanks!" He happily says. When suddenly a voice in his head says
"I am thou
Thou are i
You have awoken a new power
With who you form a bond with
The power of the Devil arcana will be granted
Rank 1"
He holds his head with the other teen asking "Are you ok?"
Oscar shakes his head a bit before looking at the dorm leader and giving a smile. "Yeah I'm fine just a bit tired from all the cleaning that I've been doing" says Oscar as he invites the teen into the dorm and shows him the way to the kitchen where places the basket on the table and takes a seat going through the contents. Azul takes a seat across from the farm boy"Yeah I didn't know what you liked so I decided to go with some basic things that you should be able to prepare. Oscar looks at the basket and sees multiple fruits and multiple flavors of ramen noodles. "Ahh the classics of any new college student" jokingly says Oscar as he puts the food away. "Trust me there's a lot you can do with ramen that I bet you wouldn't have guessed" says Azul as Oscar gives him a curious look. "Oh yeah like what?" Ask the brunette with a smirk. "Well after my father got out of prison he showed me a bunch of different meals that could be made with the simplest ingredients" says Azul as Oscar gains a shocked expression. "Wait you know how to make prison food?" Ask Oscar dumbfounded but before he could get an answer a doorbell is heard causing the boy to jump slightly. "Well it looks like you have other guests to greet" says Azul as he follows Oscar to the living room and opens the door to reveal Whitley and Jaune standing there with their new dorm uniforms on.
"hello there/hi'' greats the two on the door. Jaune is wearing a similar outfit to Vil but with some differences, first off the length of it reaches to his ankles, under unlike most of the pompfiore dorm he is wearing shorts pants hiking boots on his feet, the sash holding his robe has some knife designs of a single knife and finally the most simple of the chances is that he wearing a plain black shirt under the robe. In Whitely's case his uniform he is wearing a black jacket with some goggles hanging from his neck, black with blue assets jeans, on his hip is a belt with some holsters and blue sneakers.
Oscar blinks once, then twice until he says a little loudly "When did you get those that quick?!"
"Turns out they can make uniforms very fast," says Jaune as he shows off his uniform a bit. "That's nice but why are you guys here?" Ask Oscar as Whitley looks a little disappointed at him. "You think that wouldn't come and make sure that my friend is ok" says Whitley, faking a saddened tone that makes the Oscar laugh and the other two chuckle. "Thanks man" says Oscar with sincerity in his voice. He suddenly here's the same voice in his head from before
"I am thou
Thou are I
You have awoken a new power
With who you form a bond with
The power of the Councillor arcana will be granted
Rank 1"
Oscar stumbles a bit with Jaune quickly getting to the boy's side and makes sure he doesn't fall over. "Woah you ok there Oscar?" Ask Jaune with some concern in his voice. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine just tired is all" says Oscar. "Alright then we'll let's bring you over to the couch" says Jaune as he Oscar to one of the couches and sat him downs "Thanks Jaune" swye Oscar when the voice came a third time
"I am not thou
Thou are I
You have awoken a new power
With who you form a bond with
The power of the Magician arcana will be granted
Rank 1"
Oscar rub his head, with Azul just shakes his head "First day and you already sick but i gotta go i need business to attend to" he begins to walk to the door but he stops and turns around "oh almost forgot" he takes out a business card and put it in the kitchen counter "If you want to work for me there my number, bye!" He walks out and closes the door. Whitely chuckles "It looks like you already found an ally from the dorms leaders anyway ARE you ok?" He questions with Jaune getting a phone call "Sorry but need to take this" he says and walks away to get it. The tan bow just sighs "Ya im ok just headaches" he says out loud but adds in his head 'not gonna say the voice im hearing because if i say it you will think i'm insane'
Both talk for a bit with Jaune walking back and says his goodbyes "Sorry I need to go. My brother and sister are coming to give me something that I honestly forgot so have a good day." He walks away and closes the door.
"So how was your first day" ask Oscar as Whitley sits in a chair across from him. "Well it was interesting to say the least. My dorm leader Idia showed me all the technology they had and I even got to meet some of my dorm mates, they were all nice but there was one that I liked being a boy who said he was Idia's brother though I'm not sure, anyway how about you?" Ask Whitley as Oscar decided to adjust himself into a better position. "Well I spent practically the whole day cleaning which was mainly just dusting and vacuuming" says Oscar as Whitley gets a notification on his phone. "Welp that sounds interesting but I have to go" says Whitley as Oscar just waves bye to his friend before getting up and going to the room labeled leader on it. He opens the door and walks inside and turns on the light to see his bag and suitcase where he left, he then grabs them and brings them and puts them in the closet to be unpacked later. He turns to the right of the closet to see one last thing covered in plastic. He moves towards it, grabbing the plastic and yanking it off causing a cloud of dust to fly on the air getting all over his face, forcing him to shut his eyes and stumbled forward into the full-size mirror that was under the plastic.
After bumping into it he rubs the dust out of his eyes and looks at it "Well it's pretty" Oscar hums walking up to it as he thinks to himself 'I wonder...' he puts his hand on the glass and slightly push it but nothing happens he sighs in relief "Well nothing happens it must be a dr-AHH!!" he was cut short when he falls through the mirror.
in the mirror world
Oscar falls face first to the ground. "First ow, second well i wasn't dreaming" he says looking around seeing he is in some kind of beach and scattered around "The fuck!!" He yells standing up seeing numerous sex toys around the sand, his blush deepens. "Well this is real gonna go now so goodbye beach!" He quickly turns around and was about to walk through the mirror when suddenly he feels something on leg and was suddenly drag away from the mirror "Ah!!" He yells trying to grab something to hold but fails and he's pulled into a forest seeing, for what he could see was just some tropical plants, signs and mirrors. He reaches a clearing with some bruises when whatever is grabbing him pulls him up.
Oscar looks at the monster in front of him and pales as he notices it's features. It looked to have a body spider made from various different plants while it's head and neck were a snake with two red eyes that we're looking at Oscar as if he was a tasty mouse. It decides to get a better look at him and in that moment Oscar decides to do one of the stupidest things in his life and punches it in it's eyeball. The beast screams in pain and drops him into the sand. He takes this opportunity to run away as fast as he can and tries to find shelter, after a few minutes of running he finds a town. He looks around at the different buildings before running to what appears to be a police station. He gets inside only to find that it's not a police station but a police themed sex shop. Oscar gains a slight blush but it goes away just as soon as it appeared when he hears the roar of the beast. He jumps behind one of the shelves and stays as still as he can waiting for the beast to go away. He hears it's footsteps go by, as he finally begins to relax, one of its vine legs crashes through the window and grabs him by the legs and drags him out. He tries to grab onto something but only grabs onto a baton.
"Let me go!" Oscar screams as he was pull out of the sex shop. With baton still in hand he is slammed down to the ground hard with the farm boy coughing some blood and groans in pain. To add insult to injury the creature let him go and his eyes glow a bright green making Oscar scream in pain as his back and leg get some cuts from green color wind. He trys to stand up but the creature slams him back to the ground. "Pathetic!" The creature says making Oscar turn his head slightly to it, the voice being familiar because he heard it today "Leona??"
The beast continues to hurl insults at the boy using the voices of his friends while also unleashing more wind at the boy leading to more cuts. "Look at how weak you are" came Weiss' voice. "You can't do anything right" now in Ruby's "Ugh why am I even friends with you!" It yelled in Whitley's voice and at that moment something in Oscar snapped and he began hearing a voice inside his head causing him to grab it in pain as a mirror appeared in front of him with his reflection but without the injuries, the eyes blacked out and a disappointed frown on its face.
"Are you just going to stand there and let this thing insult and kill you!" "No no way am I gonna let this thing kill me!" Yells Oscar as he then let's go of his head and stares the beast down ignoring the pain. The reflection gains a satisfied and excited smile on its face before speaking again.
"Hmm I have seen your resolve now I will lend you my power"
"I am thou
Thou are I"
Oscar moves the baton to his left hand as he balls up his rights fist. "Per...so...Na!" Yells Oscar as he punches the mirror shattering with shards getting lodged into his fist causing him to bleed before the shards get pulled out and come together and form his persona.
"I am Cu Chuliann The Hound of Ulster!"
