As the song goes down we go bitches, no its still not time for actual classes as of yet, instead we have some other things to look at with my character's interests, the first look into his semblance and finally being questioned about his aspirations.

So this chapter should be pretty boring, sorry for no fight scenes as of yet.

AND no I do not own of the music that was used in this chapter.

Chapter 4 Down we go

My head bobbed up and down to some random song that played through my earphones while I walked through the school, my curiosity peaked as I found myself looking around.

I still was yet to receive my class timetable I also had yet to pick an individual class seeing as the options were between a bunch of random classes like herbology, medic training, cooking, political science, gym and no I mean gym as in spend an hour or so in a gym doing various exercises with weights, treadmill running etc.

I was kind of tempted, but one class that took my interest was the weirdest thing you could see in a school that was built for a school that teaches people to hunt grimm and systematically police the world when needed.

So why is there a music class?

I mean an additional combat class was there but music?

"I've got to check this class out." I muttered moving to a class that was situated the furthest away from the main building in a one story building that sat quite away from everywhere else.

I didn't exactly find that weird seeing as my music class back in highschool was pretty much on one side of the school while my other classes were in the middle of the school, but I haven't exactly been good at it seeing as I started to lose a bit of interest in year eleven granted I sat next to a group of people that constantly loved to annoy me but not like I sit anywhere else… God, now I'm feeling depressed.

"God I hate highschool." I groaned out while continuing to move to the building.

Taking my earphones out as I got what I believed was the front door I gave a quick knock before opening it, looking inside I saw the interior I found the room to be a bit dark so I quickly moved my hand around the wall until I found what felt like a switch and flipped it.

Immediately the room was lit and I could see that it was somewhat like my old classroom with four large tables situated in the middle of the room surrounded by plastic chairs, on the walls hung acoustic guitars and basses as well as some of the electric variants.

Walking inside further I saw a whiteboard sitting near the front of the room which I was in and in the back I could see some electrical equipment and drum set situated in the back of the room alongside some well stacked keyboards as well as an upstanding piano.

"Well wonder why the door was unlocked if no one was inside." I mumbled as I walked in and closed the door behind me, my attention moving all around the room as I saw different types of posters hanging on the wall some of them looked to be band posters, motivational posters oh and of course there would be a guitar poster for the different chords that were out there.

"No music class would be complete without one of these." I muttered as I cautiously ran my fingers along said poster with a small nostalgic smile.

Taking my earphones out of my ears and pocketing them I moved to one of the electric guitars that hung from the wall. I cautiously took it off the wall and slowly held the main body close to my abdomen, slowly my free hand plucked the six strings with my thumb causing each one to let out a distinctive sound before placing my palm over the strings silencing the sound.

Quietly I pulled out a chair and slowly sat down and laid the main body of the guitar on my right thigh. Within a couple of seconds I started to pluck random strings that slowly turned into chords but stopped as I tried to remember if there was anything that I could play consistently… something that was not smoke on the water or walkie talkie man.

While I was thinking my fingers suddenly found themselves moving along the frets until I found myself playing a familiar little tune of Intro from XX, and with some quiet deliberation my thumb started plucking away at the string my finger softly sat on the string but over the second fret.

Minutes passed as I played the song, stopping every now and again to replay the same bit as I played it either wrong or my fingers cramped up from the lack of actually playing with the six steel string instrument.

It was a little painful but I quickly remembered my aura so the pain quickly disappeared and I continued.

Aura was still an unknown subject I chose to ignore for now as my attention moved around to my current situation, future events and the dangers I was definitely going to be forced to handle on my own.

My fingers stopped and my palm stopped the strings.

"I may as well plug this in." I muttered looking over to the nearby amps I quickly picked one of the bigger ones and pulled an amp cord from a nearby hook and plugged it into the somewhat large amp that sat in the back of the room, quickly I plugged the cord both ends into the amp and guitar.

A minute or so later I found myself sat on another chair right next to the amp with everything set up, the amp was on and I made sure everything was sounding good and I found a packet of picks that sat on a hook right next to the cables, quickly taking a couple… ok I took like five and shoved four of them in my pocket.

I held one pick in my fingers and without a second thought my fingers sat on the strings and I started to strum the first thing that came to mind which was All I want from A DAY TO REMEMBER.

I could only remember the first tiny bit but my fingers suddenly darted away from the first couple of power chords and my fingers played the continuing riff before going back to the power chords again then back to the riff but it stopped as I found myself playing more chords.

Suddenly I forced myself to stop with my palm silencing the strings once again.

"Ok… that was just fucking bizzare." I exclaimed seeing as I've never once played before.

Talking a minute I tried to remember what else I could play and realized I could play Tnt by ACDC but I kinda forgot how it goes exactly, but with a couple of seconds of trial and error with finger placement I started to play and suddenly my fingers started moving on their own as I played Tnt.

Unlike before though I allowed my fingers to continue to play but my eyes were glued to my fingers that merely danced along the frets as the song progressed further and further down the line where my fingers started to move up and down the fretboard playing the freaking solo.

Once the song was finally over I silently turned off the amp and started putting things away, while I mentally blanked on what the hell just happened.

After everything was away I sat at one of the tables with my hands under my chin and my right foot started bouncing up and down in an uncontrollable fashion but quickly stopped when I forced my foot down.

"Something is not right." I muttered as I had already a couple of theories running through my head, one of them being that this body was just capable of playing guitar like some kind of BS Gary Stu, but I was rather certain that I did not create a Gary Stu even in my sleep deprived state of mind.

Another theory was the ROB or whoever the fuck sent me here decided to gift me with something that would probably find myself making moves on the fairer sex, but immediately and disgruntled Yang popped up in my head and that theory was pushed to the side for now.

And the last theory that made sense was either I now acquired an adaptive muscle memory or my semblance just suddenly came to be.

"I mean… there is only one fucking way for me to test this theory." I said with my eyes darting directly towards the standing piano.

Moving to the piano I nervously sat down and opened up the lid to the keys.

Ok let's think, what's a song I've watched being played on piano that isn't that usual bs of Heart and soul, I really don't want to fall into that category of bs so my thoughts went back a bit until I remembered All star… but it's so beautiful.

Never really saw anyone actually play sooo…

Immediately I was met with a bust as when I tried everything sounded like shit, ok so I can't play it but… what about Tsunami?

Remembering that I watched the piano cover multiple times I figured that it wouldn't hurt to try.

With that in mind I hovered my fingers over the keys and immediately they started to move in the same exact pattern of Tsunami, I continued to play until the drop and I stopped myself by moving away from the piano.

Looking at my fingers my heart somewhat soared as I realized that this was my semblance, I mean I can't perfectly do something as I remembered the All star remix, but the Tsunami cover proved that my semblance was I guess an Adoptive muscle memory or something of the sort.

I had to test this out so I quietly shut the lid of the piano down and moved to the nearby door, my thoughts were going back and forth with ideas of test's I could do but I knew that not everything was absolute, if anything this proved that my semblance or I guess for now my ability isn't absolute.

Shit with so many things going through my head I didn't even notice something in front of me until I bumped into it or I guess who.

"Omph hey!" looking down I was shaken out of my thoughts when I suddenly saw a short white haired girl right in front of me.

"Oh uh sorry." I quickly apologized as I realized that this girl was freaking Weiss, I mean the white off side ponytail pretty much told me everything.

"Hmph you better be, now can you please get out of my way I have to find whoever was playing in here before." Weiss said as she narrowed her eyes at me.

"Uh sure, the guy is still inside." I told the girl as I moved to the side. "I think he's behind the drum kit." I quickly lied as Weiss let out a not so impressed huff and walked by.

Quickly as I could I immediately moved off with a power walk that turned into a straight sprint, like hell I wanted to deal with Weiss now, hell other than Yang I wished to not to deal with any of the main cast until I actually started going to classes.

"Ah fuck my life!."

I don't know how I managed it but I slipped away fast enough before Weiss knew the wiser, that or she was looking rather thoroughly in the building giving me a long enough window to distance myself away from the rather rule strict girl.

I was most likely going to become a target for her irie like I was for Yang, but unlike the brawler Weiss was most likely going to give me one of her lectures, and since I was in the middle of season-I mean the first semester Weiss still had a rather long and rigid pole stuck up her ass so that lecture was not going to be fun to sitting in.

But thankfully I was safe in my room, with no distractions whatsoever, but just incase I quietly prepared myself for anyone to start up and knocking my-

Knock! Knock!

"Well… it was bound to happen anyway." I breathed as I got up off my creative desk and moved to the door.

"Hello?" I asked, opening the door and found a short girl standing at my doorway holding a… gift basket?

"Hi I'm uh Ruby I uh just wanted to come by to give you this apology/welcome to beacon gift basket." the girl Ruby said, holding the basket towards me.

"An apology gift… huh?" I was rather confused as to what the main fucking character was talking about.

"My sister Yang, you know the one with the blonde hair, but ahem I just came here to say sorry about her behaviour towards you and I kinda wanted to officially welcome you to school sooo... gift basket." Ruby sounded more unsure as she held out said basket towards me.

"Gift basket… ok as long as there isn't a dye pack inside it." I said as I was rather certain that Yang in all of her own personal issues would probably rig a nice gesture gift with a rather BS trap.

"What no there isn't any-unless…" Ruby quickly opened the gift basket and to my surprise as she moved things around the basket nothing was triggered. "Oh thank Oum, you know if I didn't know my sister I would have probably denied there was anything like that in this basket." Ruby exclaimed as I looked at the wrapped contents of the basket and saw how everything was rearranged and no longer looked presentable.

Well at least Ruby was thorough, I guess.

"Hehehe yeah I bet… Do you wanna come inside?" I asked not really wanting to leave someone like Ruby just outside my door, I mean in all technicality I didn't exactly try and deal with or associate with the main cast but I guess the main cast associating themselves with me wouldn't be all that bad would it?

I mean unlike Yang or Weiss who I actively avoided, I guess there's no harm in not being antisocial all the time.

"Oh sure, if your team doesn't mind." Ruby said as I gently took the basket off her hands.

"Ah yeah, I don't really have a team. I'm most likely going to be a solo student or so Ozpin has said." I said letting Ruby into my room, I didn't really have a mess. I did on the other hand had my armour sitting in a pile right next to my technical desk while my cloak was hung up on a wooden coat hanger that stood nearby.

"Woooow I don't think I've ever seen a room so bare before," Ruby commented as I closed the door and sat the basket on my creative desk. "You must be the luckiest guy ever to have your own room and all." Ruby further spoke as I picked up what looked like a pack of cookies out of the basket.

"Meh, I'm used to sleeping by myself anyway." I said opening the packet, moving to the middle of the room. I gestured ruby to follow as I sat on the floor. "Wanna cookie?" I asked, holding out my now opened packet.

"Oh sure!" Ruby said as she took one of the chocolate chip biscuits before sitting down in front of me, thankfully her skirt was long enough that it covered her well.

I'm not going to go there.

"So how's Beacon so far?" Ruby asked a rather loaded question as I took a minute to think about an answer while munching my biscuit.

"Well… been alright I guess, I haven't started classes as of yet so I'm unsure, but so far I've had no real problems except for your sister and… well I don't think I need to mention that just yet." I mumbled the last bit to myself as Ruby had a look of guilt on her face.

"Hehe, yeah my sister is rather… competitive so that fight didn't exactly feel right to her," Ruby quickly stopped and threw her hands up "Not that I'm saying the fight was terrible or not it's just… I guess she kind of expected more." Ruby panicked with her words but she seemed rather nervous with what she was conveying to me.

"Look I'm not judging you for your sister's actions Ruby, but that fight… lets just say I didn't see myself winning after imprisoning your sister in rock." I quickly explained as I could still hear the rather loud cracks from the earth prison Yang was still stuck in. "I'm not a fighter or at least I try not to fight when I can." I admitted feeling rather silly telling someone of my objectively pacifistic nature.

"Is that why you didn't fight Yang the other night?" Ruby asked as I nodded.

"Look I'll fight if I'm forced to but if I can either avoid a fight I'll do so… or at least that's what I do guess." I said as I remembered the amount of times I told my friends that I could fight if need be but that was an obvious lie, I didn't want to fight anyone even if my rather larger size gave the impression that I could in theory fight.

"Oh well… then why are you here if you don't want to fight?" I felt my mind go blank as soon as I heard that question, she had a rather valid and very good point.

And unfortunately I don't think I could give her an honest answer.

"Lets just say… I have my reasons." I found myself telling her a half truth.

Suddenly Ruby's scroll rang just at the right time, quickly the little girl pulled her scroll and I watched in silence as she quickly talked to the other person and from how loud they were speaking I took a guess that it was Weiss calling, quickly as she called Ruby was already on her feet the cookie she was eating nothing more than crumbs on her uniform as she gave me a quick goodbye and left me in my room.

I sat in silence on the floor and quietly took another bite of my biscuit as I remembered how I got here.

Why am I really here?

What am I even doing?

I'm just a half ass dickhead who was shoved into a world that was just about to go tits up and I'm thinking I could change anything, do I think I can change anything?

Fuck should I?

...

…

...

"Fuck."
