'So that's a title.' Ruby nodded before selecting the Punctual title as her own, it was just better than [The Gamer]. She glanced up in time to see her nameplate switch, causing her to grin at the change. 'I wonder what other features it has?' She thought, waiting for another box to pop up, it didn't. 'I guess i'll have to find out myself.' She nodded before an ice cold feeling on her back caused her to leap up with a scream.

"Oh my god, that was great!" Yang laughed, she was holding two cans of People Like Grape soda, two very cold cans of soda, one of which she had shoved onto Ruby's back.

"Yang!" Ruby was glaring at the girl who was still laughing uproariously. "Why do you always have to mess with me?"

"C'mon, shoving an ice cold can on people is like one of the rules and I mess with you because I'm your sister, it's my duty." She said, giving a mock salute. "And you were just so easy, sitting there so deep in thought."

"Yeah well I've got a lot on my mind." She whined, snatching a can from Yang's hand and popping the lid, a quick {Observe} telling her about the soda.

[People Like Grape Soda]

[Item Type - Drink]

[Quality - Average]

[Effect - Restores 100 Sp when consumed.]

'So this one gives a certain amount of points, whereas the pancakes gave a percentage.' She thought as she took a sip, glancing at Yang's and getting a name tag popping up for the can.

[People Like Grape Soda]

[+100 Sp]

'I guess that's the passive part of {Observe}.' She nodded before taking a gulp of soda. 'I guess it's so I don't have to {Observe} the same thing multiple times.'

[Due to your sound reasoning you have gained 1 Wis.]

'And another one, I guess i'm really wise for my age.' She nodded before she remembered her Int was only 4. 'But i'm really dumb.' Her head drooped at the thought before she perked up. 'But I have stat points to spend, I can put it up… but I should probably wait for Uncle Qrow's advice.'

"What's eating at you Rubes? You've gone from happy to sad and back to happy in less than ten seconds." Yang asked concerned, sitting down next to her sister. "Tell Big Sis Yang of your troubles."

'I can't tell her, I want to tell Uncle Qrow first. Quick Ruby lie.' She thought in panic before saying the first thing to come to her mind. "I'm worried about classes, i'm not the smartest person, nor am I the strongest. What if i'm not good enough?"

[As a result of your manipulations you have created the {Lie} skill.]

{Lie} (Active/Passive) [Lvl 1, 00.00 EXP]

[You attempt to deceive the target. 50 Sp per use. d100(Their Int - Your Chr)]

[Win Social Battles]

[You have used the {Lie} skill on Yang Xiao Long.]

[Rolling for effectiveness.]

[30-5=25 d100 roll]

[Relation - Younger Sister - Halves charisma checks]

[15-5=10 d100 roll]

[d100 = 34]

[Charisma check passed]

"Ruby, you're gonna do fine. You don't actually learn anything for the first week, it's all introductions and getting you ready for the class." Yang soothed her, buying the lie. "And no one is that strong when they start. I could barely lift twenty kilos when i started and now I can bench one fifty and I was one of the strongest in my class at that point, still am actually." She nodded, placing her arm around her sister's shoulder. "Trust me."

Taking another gulp of soda she forced a smile, suddenly feeling really bad about lying to Yang. 'You'll tell her eventually, just after Uncle Qrow.' She consoled herself, focusing on her soda and trying to ignore the concerned look Yang was giving her.

Draining the last of her can and crushing it in her hands Yang leapt up, turning to face Ruby, a wide grin on her face. "C'mon, I'm not going to let you mope all day." She said stretching slightly. "You have ten seconds before I'm coming for you."

'Oh no.' Ruby thought, draining her soda and throwing it in the bin. She needed to get away now.

"Ready or not Ruby." Yang sing songed as Ruby began sprinting away. "Here I come." And with that the chase was on.

-LINE-BREAK-

[Due to prolonged sprinting you have gained 1 Spd]

Ruby glanced at the messages she had ignored while she escaped from Yang, getting caught meaning she would be mercilessly tickled and given noogies. It was a good thing she was fast, otherwise she might not have escaped.

Now she was standing in the assembly hall as new students and their parents streamed into the room, dozens of nameplates filling her vision, from the new students ranging between level two and level three to the parents ranging from the level five of a civilian to the unknown levels of the hunter parents. Dozens of weapons were also in sight, making Ruby want to {Observe} them all but she held off, not wanting to exhaust all of her Sp this early in the day.

All in all she could see twenty four other students, the ones who would make up her class. She didn't know how to feel about that, she had led a quite sheltered life, she had done her best to stick to Yang's side in the civilian school and after she had left Ruby hadn't really had any friends and didn't really fit in with the rest of her peers, the boys not wanting to hang out with a girl and none of the girls really wanting to run around and playfight or talk about cool action movies.

The sound of a microphone being tapped drew her attention to the front of the hall, to the small stage. "Welcome to Signal Academy, I am happy to see all these young and eager students ready to become the next generation of protectors." The woman that addressed them had long black hair tinged with purple that was tied in a intricate braid, her eyes were a deep scarlet, like pools of blood caught in mid ripple. She was wearing a black suit, tailored to provide as much movement as possible, her violet shirt underneath complimenting her hair.

[Headmistress of Signal Academy]

Skye Scathach - Lvl ?

"The protection of the four kingdoms is an important and lifelong undertaking, I thank each and everyone of you for making the decision to assist in this duty. We are experiencing an unprecedented time of peace, a peace which we must uphold at all costs" The headmistress continued, ignoring the fact that most of the students were paying only the barest of attention. "As huntsmen and huntresses you will act as protectors, guardians and peacekeepers. But the skills required for this role will not come overnight, that is why you are here, here at Signal we will endeavour to forge all of you into the warriors we know you all can be. But do not be mistaken, we cannot do this alone and if you do not take this training seriously, if you abuse it or if you just can't handle it we will transfer you to a civilian school, for both your own and others sakes." She cast her gaze over her now attentive audience, a hard look in her eyes. "This is your only warning."

The hard gaze was held for nearly ten seconds before she turned and nodded to Taiyang. Receiving a nod in return she turned and walked off stage as Taiyang moved up to the microphone. "My name is Taiyang Xiao Long and I will be your Grimm Studies professor and your Homeroom tutor for the year. I will be giving you a tour of the campus and a basic introduction to each of the different lessons." He introduced himself, drawing the attention of the hall. "If you would all form an orderly line I will lead you to the homeroom to start the tour."

Huh, her Dad was her Homeroom teacher, that could be good or bad. She nodded before several windows popped up.

[Quest - The First Day (2) Complete]

'Another level up and a new quest.' She nodded. 'I'm now the highest level in my class and the same level as normal adults, that's awesome.' Smiling as her Dad looked her in the eyes with a smile. 'At this rate I'll catch up with Yang in no time.'

"I said an orderly line, not a rabble." Her father's voice sounded over the din, trying to bring order to the chaos. She had better move.

-LINE-BREAK-

The day had passed quickly enough, she had been shown around to the math classroom; the Valean classroom, the history room, the forges, (she almost squealed at seeing them), the gym, the sports hall, the cafeteria, the laboratory, the ammo manufacturing room, (once again, almost squealing) and the art room. The teacher of each class giving them an introductory speech about the lessons and the reasons why they were being taught the lessons. Finally they had been brought to the one place Ruby had been looking forward to all day, the combat arena. The seventh years were down below in the amphitheatre, having their welcoming speech for the year before being sent to change into their combat gear.

Her Uncle Qrow was the professor for this class, the man standing there in his drunken glory as he booted up and prepared the duel system, she couldn't be sure but she thought he was grumbling about it being a stupid system. The class was whispering among themselves, excited at being able to watch the seventh years fight,while Ruby was using {Observe} on her Uncle.

Description

Qrow Branwen is the fraternal twin of Raven Branwen and the sworn brother of Taiyang Xiao Long. He is the biological Uncle of Yang Xiao Long and the 'Uncle' of Ruby Rose.

Qrow works as a professor at Signal Academy teaching the combat class but only considers it secondary to the missions Ozpin gives him.

[Your {Observe} skill has leveled up by 1.]

'Another {Observe} level.' She grinned happily to herself, Qrow nodding his head when he spotted her in the crowd. 'I guess he does consider this a second job, he disappears for months at a time sometimes doing Hunter missions.'

"Alright brats, quiet down." Qrow spoke, his drunken slur sounding surprisingly stern and authoritarian. "Now I'd say welcome to Signal but I'm sure you've all heard that too many times today. I'm Qrow Branwen, I'll be in charge of your combat classes and I will be one of the professors who decides who stays in this school."

The room turned worryingly silent from that remark, the crowd of children unnaturally focused. "What each and every one of you have to remember is that a hunter is a combat role, whether you take the role of a scout, a guard or even an archaeologist you have to fight, a hunter that can't fight is little more than fodder and we don't create fodder in this school." He ran his eye's over the assembled crowd lingering on a few of the students. "I'm not going to lie, as you noticed the seventh years only have a class of ten, that is an unusually large class size. We will be weeding out those who are not suitable, but if you train hard you can do it, if not well… you'll be out on your ear."

With that he turned back to his scroll as the ten seventh years streamed out of the changing rooms. "Alright I want you to pair off into your partners from last year and stand side by side in a line." He said arranging the class. "Last year you were sparring partners, this time you are partners. As huntsmen and huntresses you will always be working in groups and as such all you brats need to work together, as such we will be making you work together from now on."

Pushing a button on his scroll the screen changed to show all five partnerships. "In two weeks we will be having a tournament, you will each fight the other teams and will be marked on your performance and your ability to work as a team. After that we will change the teams and start again, this will happen until you have all worked with every other person." A league table with every person located on it popped up next, showing said tournament. "The person with the most points at the end will get a prize."

"Today, on the other hand we will be getting to know our partners while getting back into the swing of things. We will be doing free for all matches in your pairs." He pressed another button bringing up the pictures of the pairs again. "The last pair to remain a pair will win, otherwise the only rule is that you can't throw any attacks near the audience, none of them have unlocked auras so a single attack could kill any of them."

Ruby could hear the children next to her shuffling uncomfortably at the mention of them dying, she suspected that the class would be missing a few people by tomorrow. Ruby's attention was drawn once more as Qrow landed on the rail in front of her, giving a wink before sitting in the chair next to her. A buzzer sounded and as one the students drew their weapons.

The next few minutes were a blur of movement and a cacophony of gunfire as the ten students danced among one another, trying to knock out the other teams. The few bullets that strayed near the audience were deflected by Qrow who almost blurred from his seat with each strike. "{Observe}." Ruby repeatedly whispered, looking down at the fight. A full 500 Sp being spent on observing all the fighters, the 258 Sp remaining keeping her fully conscious.

[Your {Observe} skill has leveled up by 1.]

[{Observe} has gained the ability to passively display health bars after active observation.]

"Alright kiddies, a quick question, who's going to be knocked out first?" Qrow asked, having glanced at Ruby quizzically over her muttering.

"The blonde girl." One of the boys yelled in response, pointing at the picture of Jeanne on the aura screen. "She has the smallest bar." He declared happy with his reasoning.

"Anyone else?" Qrow asked, nodding with the reasoning.

"The red headed girl is getting hit a lot." One of the girls tentatively added, talking about Clarisse.

"A good guess. Anyone else?" He glanced around the class. "Anyone at all?" He asked, looking directly at Ruby, the entire class turning to look at her.

She supposed that she should have been feeling nervous at this point but she didn't, she just couldn't. "I think that the red haired guy is going to lose first." She stated glancing at the classes and her Uncle's reaction.

"That's a stupid answer, his bar's one of the longest." The first boy jeered before a hand gesture from Qrow silenced him.

"Why is Reno going to lose first?" Qrow asked, unusually sober.

"His aura may be fine but he's taking more damage per hit than anyone else, his aura just isn't protecting him much." She started, glancing back at the fight. "His body will give out before his aura does."

Qrow hummed as he glanced out over the battle, Reno stumbling as he dodged an attack. "That's about the right of it, it all depends on how well he can dodge but he won't be able to take another attack." It was at that moment that Sollise slammed his spear into Reno's side, sending him flying towards the stands where Qrow jumped up and caught him. "Rude, you and Reno are out, come to the seating area."

The boy with a shaved head and a pair of oversized knuckle dusters grumbled as he disengaged from the brawl, moving towards the stairs to join the observers. Qrow dumped the red head in a seat before turning back towards the class. "This is why I don't like the system we have to use. It places too much focus on the aura levels, as you just saw they don't mean everything. Just because you have aura doesn't mean you can still fight and just because you run out of aura doesn't mean you can't continue." A buzzer sounded signalling a person going into critical aura. "Even if I'm forced to stop the ones who can still fight. Clarisse you're out, Medea so are you."

The fight between the last six continued with Sollise, a wolf-hound faunus dashing through the crowd, making a nuisance of himself with his spear. Jeanne had retreated to the edge of the battlefield, fully on guard as she tried to regain her breath only to get slammed in the back by Mei's chakram that had bounced off the wall.

"Jeanne, Poppy. To the stands." Qrow shouted down before taking a swig of his flask. "Now we have Sollise paired with Rick and Mei paired with Tracey left. Who is going to win?"

"The guy with the spear is gonna beat them." One of the girls chirped as they watched the guy dodge all the attacks while attacking at the same time. "They can't touch him at all."

"Mei and Tracey are gonna win." Ruby disagreed. "While Sollise could easily beat them both on his own they don't need to beat him, they only have to beat Rick who's barely holding on." At that Tracey blurred, blue light surrounding her as she reappeared behind Rick and unloaded her SMGs into his back, removing the last of his aura.

"Correct." Qrow nodded before pressing a button on his scroll, activating a buzzer declaring the match over. "Good fight, you all have areas you need to work on. Reno you need to work on your dodging and your aura shield, it isn't efficient enough. Rude you need to work on your speed, your range is shorter than everyone else's, you need to get closer faster."

With that he broke into a more detailed breakdown of the fight, listing each and every one of their mistakes and any improvements that they needed to make. "Now I want you all to break off into your partnerships, use the twenty minute recovery time to figure out how you're going to work together, then we will have a second fight. Drinks are where they normally are."

"What you all just saw was an easy fight between moderately skilled fighters and yes, I do mean moderate. They are only just beginning to gain the skill needed to be true huntsmen, they have a long way to go." He lectured, turning back to the younger class. "Anyone who is able to stick out the years here will get to this level at the minimum, anyone who doesn't will be leaving."

With that he stood up and leapt down to the arena. "Now, all of you get down here. I'm going to take you through a basic workout, the sort of thing you'll be doing every morning if you are actually putting effort into being a huntsman." He said to them, rolling his neck, frowning as only Ruby began to move. "I said now!"

-LINE-BREAK-

[As a result of your physical training you have created the {Trained Body} skill]

[Your {Trained Body} skill has leveled up by 1.]

{Trained Body} (Passive) [Lvl 5 - 370/500 EXP]

[You have trained your body, because of this you waste less Stamina per action. Use 2.5% less Sp per action.]

[Due to you pushing your limits you have gained 1 End.]

'Note to self, don't drain my Sp before Uncle Qrow's class.' Ruby thought as she panted, her Sp sitting on only 15 points. Her vision was blurring at the edges as she felt a hand clap on her shoulder sending her sprawling to the classes giggles.

"You okay Ruby? You're usually able to do much more than this." Qrow asked as he helped her up.

Nodding as she regained her balance, stumbling slightly. "Um, yeah. I just didn't sleep well last night. I'll tell you after class." She mumbled, getting a pat on the back and a bottle of water shoved into her hands.

"Alright, if you all do that every morning you'll get fit quick enough. Now I want you to go back into the stands, there are bottles of water and special cookies up there, they're made to help you regain your energy quickly." Qrow told the assembled children, dismissing them to the stands before turning towards the seventh years. "Alright, in your positions." He drawled, taking another swig from his hip flask. "Same rules as last time."

Ruby didn't really pay attention to the fight this time, too busy inhaling cookies and water. Her Sp was climbing as she ate allowing her to begin to perk up, the sounds of gunfire not even causing her to bat an eyelash as she reached her own personal nirvana. Finishing her snacks she let out a contented sigh as she ignored her Uncle deflecting a stray bullet and the final buzzer went off.

"That's it, Clarisse and Medea win, Clarisse, be more careful when you deflect bullets, you sent several towards the crowd." He lectured before turning towards the younger class. "Alright, that's it for today. You can all go now." He declared, making a shooting hand motion before turning back to the older students. "Think about what went wrong in your fights, we'll talk more tomorrow."

[Quest - The First Day (3) Complete]

You have finished your first day at school.

[Rewards - 450 EXP (300 quest + 150 well rested), 30 Lien, Instant Dungeon skill book, +200 reputation with Signal Academy Faculty]

[You have gained two levels, you are now level 7.]

[You have 20 stat points to spend.]

'Two level ups? This is kind of fast.' Ruby blinked, murmuring to bring up her status window, missing the confused glance Qrow sent her way. 'Now I have twenty points to spend and whatever that skill book is… where is it anyway?'

"Sollise, Scathach said she would meet you for your lesson at four, don't be late." Qrow finished as the class walked out, moving to their final lesson. "And we're both done for the day."

"Yep." Ruby nodded, glancing at her Sp bar.

860/1200 Sp

'That should be enough.' She nodded before standing up. "There's something I wanted to talk to you about, Uncle Qrow."

"Is it about why you were so exhausted after the workout?" Qrow asked seriously, looking her in the eyes. "You've been acting stranger than usual today."

"I guess I have…" She agreed before she zoned in on Qrow, her eyes narrowed. "Wait stranger, are you saying I'm strange?"

"You're a ten year old girl who fangirls over weapons and are simultaneously the most extroverted and the most introverted person I've ever met." He deadpanned in response, pulling out his flask. "If the shoe fits…"

"Yeah well…" She sputtered, grasping for a comeback. "You're drunk."

"That I am." He agreed, ignoring the failed comeback. "C'mon we'll go to my office." He told her, shutting down the dueling system.

'How am I going to tell him?' Ruby thought with a gulp as she followed him out of the room and through the halls. 'Any help game?' She thought in her head, sighing as she got no response. 'I guess I'm on my own.'

"So, how was your first day?" Qrow asked as they walked, finally putting away his flask. "As bad as you thought?" He rolled his eyes as she looked at him shocked. "You and your sister need to work on your awareness, I was walking past when you were feeding her that line about not being good enough for Signal."

"Oh… right." She chuckled lightly, rubbing the back of her neck. "The teachers are okay, but I don't know anyone in my class and I don't really fit in much." She admitted, sheepishly.

"But then again I doubt you tried too hard, did you?" Qrow interrupted her raising an eyebrow, getting an awkward chuckle from her. "I wouldn't worry about it too much kid, I didn't really bond with anyone until I went to Beacon and I turned out okay."

A sense of worry and incredulity enveloped her as she watched Qrow take another swig of his flask. "I am suddenly terrified of my future." She deadpanned, causing Qrow to choke on his flask.

"Well, someone's been working on her snark." He smirked as he wiped the whiskey from down his chin. "I wonder if I've been a bad influence." He contemplated, rubbing his chin. "Nah."

The rest of the walk was done in a comfortable silence, to be fair it was only half a minute at most but it was still nice. Qrow's office wasn't very large, only large enough to have two chairs, a desk and a filing cabinet. The walls were a light blue, obviously chosen by the academy and not her uncle.

"So," Qrow began, opening one of his drawers and throwing her a can of soda. "What did you want to talk about?"

"I don't exactly know where to begin." Ruby admitted, sipping her soda. "It's just so weird." Seeing that she had his full attention she sighed before trying to find the words. "I woke up this morning with a power."

"What sort of power?" Qrow asked, going deadly serious, the atmosphere of the room turning intense. "Was it like aura, or was it something else."

"It sounds stupid." She groused, taking a deep breath before continuing. "I woke up to find my entire life is now a video game."

A silence descended over the room as Qrow's face went through several different emotions, ranging from disbelief to incredulity to a strange mix of humour and annoyance. "You've got to be kidding me." He finally settled on, staring her down with a flat look. "You are joking aren't you? You don't seriously expect me to believe that your life is a video game."

"But it's true, I've been getting quests and level ups all day." Ruby shot back, trying to get him to believe her. "I have stats and everyone has levels, I can see every person's name and I can get a description of them."

"Right, of course you can. I'm sure you get all of this, do you also get items for completing quests?" Qrow asked sarcastically. "Ruby, I get that you want cool powers but you're past the age of making things up like that."

"But I'm not lying." Ruby replied, frowning at her Uncle's disbelief. "I really do get quests and rewards… but I don't know how to access them." Her frown turned thoughtful as she started thinking it over. "It said I received them but I don't know where they are."

"Maybe they're in your inventory." Qrow rolled his eyes, snorting at the idea.

Her eyes widened at the thought. "{Inventory.}" She spoke a window opening in front of her. It was mainly a grid of empty boxes, the one on the top left containing a picture of a book. On the right was a scroll bar and above the grid was a search bar. Underneath the grid was a picture of a lien sign and the number 50 in the box next to it. "There it is." She chirped pressing on the book icon, causing it to appear in her hands.

"What?" Qrow was suddenly sat forward, staring in disbelief at the book that definitely wasn't the before.

"[Skill Book: Instant Dungeon.]" She read out as she held the obviously ancient book. "Would you like to learn this skill… Yes." She nodded, giggling as the book dissolved into golden flecks and swirled around her, unknown and ancient symbols dancing before her eyes, her mind filling with new knowledge.

[As the result of using a skill book you have unlocked the {Instant Dungeon} skill.]

"This skill is perfect." Ruby nodded, Qrow still in a shocked stupor. "I can prove it." She crowed triumphantly, jumping up from her chair and running around to Qrow, grabbing his arm.

"Wait Ruby." Qrow almost shouted as he snapped out of his stupor. "You don't need to do anything, I believe you." He told the girl but she didn't listen.

"{Instant Dungeon: Create.}" Ruby declared, raising her hand in the air, the air almost shattering around them.

The change was almost instantaneous, as the world twisted and shattered around them, reforming into a near identical replica of the normal world, only lacking any and all people. A howl in the distance informed her that they weren't alone.

[Level 5 - Beowolf Minor Dungeon]

{150/150 Remaining}

Judging by the fact that Qrow was waving his hand in front of his face, he was obviously seeing the same pop up as Ruby. Another howl snapped him out of his thoughts, causing him to turn sharply towards Ruby. "I believe you Ruby, now get us out of here." He said looking her dead in the eye, cutting off any protest. "While these beowolves are not a threat to me they are to you, one would be enough to kill you, let alone one hundred and fifty. Get us out of here."

"Okay." Ruby agreed, slightly panicked. "{Instant Dungeon: Close.}" She declared, hand raised in the air but nothing happened. "Um, {Instant Dungeon: Close.}" A pop up window scuppered her plans.

[Instant Dungeon: Close ability is blocked until the current dungeon is completed.]

"Oh… crapbaskets."
