Volume 1 Issue 6: Welcome to Beacon
Beacon Academy, The Kingdom of Vale
12:10 P.M.
1 hour after Ben's arrival at Beacon Academy.
Beacon Academy.
One of the 4 prestigious Huntsman Academies of Remnant. The Headmaster of Beacon, Professor Ozpin, is a wise man who stands firm in his belief that power is drawn from bonds forged between allies.
As Ben Tennyson himself arrived at the entrance to Beacon Academy, he was shocked at the school itself looked like a castle with one large tower in the middle with glowing green lights. Ben quickly recomposed himself as he ran to catch up with Ozpin and Goodwitch who had continued their brisk pace towards the school.
"Your school is a Castle? All is needed is for you to be a wizard and you could run Hogwarts." Said Rex not noticing Ozpin sweating and thinking 'What is Hogwarts.'
"Whew...so I'm guessing that this is Beacon?" Ben asked once caught up with the two professors.
"Yes, young Benjamin," Ozpin explained, "This is the school that I run. However, in order to attend you will be required to take part in an initiation. It is a tradition that the format of the initiation is not revealed until the day of. But do not concern yourself with that minor detail as I am fairly certain you will have no trouble passing given the versatile nature of your abilities.
"That is a major understatement of the year." Said ben arrogantly
"Okay, but listen, I'd prefer for as few people as possible to know about my 'abilities'. Mainly because, and I'm speaking from personal experience here, I'd rather not spend the rest of my life as a guinea pig up in Atlas." Ben said in a concerned tone.
Ben knew that if word of his Ultimatrix came out, the scientists and possibly the military of this universe would probably attempt to get their hands on him and try to replicate the Level 20 Alien DNA Alteration device on his left arm. He hoped that wouldn't happen because of the upgrades and safety protocols that Azmuth and Kevin installed onto the device.
"Out of Curiosity what level what the Nanites be?" Asked Rex looking at Azmuth.
"From what I have seen and heard they would be at level 6, 9 the most." Said Azmuth after taking a few minutes to think.
"Very well, Mister Tennyson," Ozpin agreeing with Ben's demands. "We'll do everything in our power to keep your abilities a secret from the public and will only be shared with those of your choosing."
"Thank You, Professor," Ben said in relief as the three entered the academy's main building.
Five Hours Later...
"Seriously? How big is that school I could understand a one maybe two hours at the most for a tour but five hours that is crazy." Said ben getting nods from all of the students remembering how big beacon is.
Beacon Academy Dorms
5:10 P.M.
After Ozpin and Glynda finished giving Ben his tour of Beacon, he headed down to the Beacon Dining Hall as they were serving his favorite lunch: chili fries with cheese, onions, and jalapeños alongside an ice-cold smoothie. After he finished eating he grabbed his smoothie and headed up to the room that Ozpin pointed out as his during the tour. As he turned the corner leading to his room, he noticed a package sitting outside his door.
The package had a note resting on its top with his name on it. Ben took the note and read it to himself.
Dear Mr. Tennyson,
The package before you contains all of the necessary supplies you will need to attend class as a student of Beacon Academy.
Once you are ready, come to my office located at the top of Beacon Tower.
I'm hoping to provide you with a sufficient understanding of our world, while me and my staff are brought up to speed on your own. I hope to see you soon.
Sincerely, Professor Ozpin; Headmaster of Beacon Academy.
P.S. The doors are secured with an electronic lock that can only be disengaged by the scroll provided.
Ben blinked at the note and shrugged his shoulders in response. He ripped open the package and saw all the necessities he needed to attend Beacon.
The first thing he took out from the box was his Beacon uniform. The uniform itself consisted of a black suit with gold lining, a navy vest, white shirt, red tie, black dress shoes, and black dress socks. Creepily enough, they were all in his size despite never telling Ozpin this fact. This left Ben fairly conflicted as, even though he greatly appreciated Ozpin taking the time to gather up all this stuff for him, he should probably still sleep with one eye open.
"Now that I think about it how did you get our sizes?" Asked Qrow with everyone looking at Ozpin just casually drinking his coffee.
"the school has a deep body scanner that works on everyone I then have it sent to the machine that makes all of the uniforms." Ozpin said not at all bothered that he just admitted that he basically invaded their personal space."
Next, Ben took out a small device that appears to be a white cylindrical object with a yellow, diamond-shaped button in its center. He hesitantly brought his index finger down onto the button as the object expanded into a translucent, touch-sensitive panel between two solid end grips nearly causing Ben to drop it out of surprise.
Ben spent a good minute looking the device over before the pieces managed to connect in his mind. Chuckling to himself over the clever nomenclature of the scroll, he held it over the sensor for a few seconds and, upon hearing the clicking of the lock, opened the door and entered his room.
Upon entering the room, he took quick notice of the decorations. There was a window with red curtains slid apart from each other, showing the bright afternoon outside. On each side of the room, there were two beds (four in total), each with their own set of pillows and red blankets. Resting next to the window was a small, wooden bookshelf. There was a door on the right was a fully furnished bathroom along with a door on the adjacent side of the room leading to a walk-in closet.
"I think your room is bigger than our room." Said Jaune getting nods of agreement from teen Rwby and Nora.
"That is a Second year room you get bigger rooms once you finish each year." Said Velvet
It kind of reminded Ben of the dorm he stayed in when his Soccer team had their championship game up at UGA when he was 14. He smiled as he remembered how embarrassed he was at how his dad showed up with his entire body painted his team's colors leading to him begging Gwen to use a teleportation spell to send his dad back home during halftime. However, his smile vanished as he remembered that, for god knows how long, they were beyond his reach.
"Hopefully I will be able to go back and not be stuck there forever." Said Ben with the others looking at him with sympathy.
Deciding to focus his mind elsewhere, Ben set the package on his bed and began to look through the remainder of its contents. His eye caught a glimpse of a single sheet of paper that he assumed to be his schedule at his schedule and, figuring he had to start somewhere, pulled it out and began to read through it...

"Sucks for to be you, you have to go to school I can go by choice." Said Rex getting jealous looked from everyone who has not graduated from their respective schools.
"Oh how little you know." Ben said.
Ben groaned at his schedule and collapsed on his bed. "High school never ends, does it? Well, at least there's no Trigonometry."
" it is not that hard all you have to do is simply measure the distance between the two things that you are measuring." Said both Rex and Azmuth
As soon those words left his mouth, Ben heard a knock coming from his door. Ben raised an eyebrow in confusion. Who would be knocking on his door? The only people that knew he was here, let alone where his room was, were Ozpin and Goodwitch. Ben then remembered that the upperclassmen started their classes a week before the first years and visibly relaxed.
"Why do the upper class men come to school early?" Asked Weiss looking at the headmaster "It us so the freshmen can learn there way around and to show them that there will not always be someone to help them" answered the good witch.
'Probably one of the upperclassmen wondering how a freshman managed to get their room assignment before initiation,' Ben calmly thought to himself.
He pushed himself off of his bed as the knocking resumed. "I'm coming!" he yelled to the mystery knocker.
When he opened the door, his eyes widened enough to fit an ocean liner and his jaw practically dropped straight through the floor. Before him stood a figure who was just as shocked as Ben. In front of him was the rabbit Faunus he had been living with for the past few months. Before him, wearing Beacon's female uniform, was Velvet Scarlatina.
"B-Ben?... is that you? Y-You're here?! B-But how?!" Velvet said with a mixture of shock and elation.
To this, Ben raised four fingers and lowered each one with every question answered. "Yes, that's my name. Yeah, it's me. I hope I am because if not then this is a very vivid dream. I told Ozpin about my abilities" Ben explained earning a roll of the eyes from the Faunus.
"Must you always be sarcastic?" Asked Rex with both Ben and Azmuth to nod there heads yes
"Hey, I was in the dark about this as well. It wasn't until this morning that I found out that I was going to be a student here. If I had known sooner I promise you that you would have been the first to know. I promise you that I have no intentions of keeping secrets from you Velvet, not anymore. I'm supposed to head up to Ozpin's office to tell him all about myself, and I think that after everything you've done for me, you've more than earned the right to know the truth. So? What do you say?" Ben asked his friend.
"Sure thing Ben," Velvet happily said.
"Ok then, let's head out," Ben said as he went to get his scroll to lock his door behind him.
Headmaster's Office, Beacon Tower; Beacon Academy
After an excruciatingly long and boring elevator ride, Ben and Velvet set foot into Professor Ozpin's office. The office was a rather large room with several gears and clockworks at work. The back wall held a single circular window which appeared to be a functioning clock face. In front of the window was a single large desk with a unique design based off the clockwork gears, where Ozpin sat in his chair.
"Nice to see you again, Mr. Tennyson," Ozpin greeted, "Please, you and Ms. Scarlatina can take a seat."
"Don't mind if we do," Ben complied as he and Velvet sat down, "So, what's this about?"
"I just wanted to explain that we have run into a potential snag in regards to your last-minute enrollment," Ozpin explained, "You see, the four huntsmen academies across Remnant have a special quota system, and with the addition of you, we have exceeded our quota by one. During the initiation, students are given a task and assessed based off of their performance in fulfilling the said task. Their assessments not only determine whether or not they belong in Beacon but also arrange them into teams of four."
The realization suddenly hit Ben like a truck as he said, "So you're saying that by letting me come in, you're now three people short of a team?"
"So if I didn't accept what would you have done?" Asked Ruby "I have invited someone else doing it is not the first time I had a situation like what we had." Said Ozpin ignoring the disapproving look of Glynda.
"Initially, yes. But I believe that there may very well be a solution that benefits all of us." Professor Ozpin stated while Goodwitch exited the elevator and walked to join Ozpin behind the desk.
"And that solution would be?" Ben said as he leaned back in his chair.
"You will be serving as a Teacher's Assistant to myself," Goodwitch clarified, visibly unhappy with this arrangement. "However, you will still be required to attend and maintain passing grades in all of your other classes. Additionally, since you have already received your room assignment, you're also welcome to accompany any team of your choosing on any mission they embark on. Any questions?" Ben just rapidly shook his head without changing the shocked expression on his face in the slightest causing Velvet to giggle at his stupor.
"Me a teacher now that with all the power in the Ultimatrix that is one thing I did not see coming." Said Ben
now that we have that out of the way, let's move on to the main reason that we called you up here," Ozpin stated.
Ben sighed, looked Ozpin in the eyes, and said, "It all started 6 years ago when I was just 10 years old..."
"That is it who would like to read next?" Asked Rex handing it to a depressed looking Blake.
"What is wrong." Asked Ruby.
"I am all out of fish." Said Blake.
"Hey I got a fish for you." Said ben mischievously.
Blake looked at him with hope before a flash of green light.
In Ben's place was a Humanoid Angler Fish with web feet and hands and a loin cloth and the hour glass symbol acting as a belt and pants respectively "RIPJAWS!" Said Ben making Black faint from a fish eating her instead of the other way around.
