Walking through the halls, Jace looked out the window towards the Bullhead docks. He saw the numerous students slowly making their way towards the school and took a breath and smiled. While thinking over what he would need to deal with during this next year, he heard an explosion from the courtyard. Looking towards it, he expected to see a bright orange head, yet none was seen nearby instead it was two people of red and white color schemes, which caused him to chuckle nervously how Glynda will react to a new cause of explosions… again. Moving on he made his way towards the auditorium.

Meanwhile outside, Ajani, who also heard the explosion, watched over the students with a smile and his arms crossed. Since his time coming to Remnant, he never bothered covering his new Faunus traits, instead taking pride in them as any Leonin would his own body. It didn't stop the racists from trying to insult him, though. Many would back away and cower like most weak-willed people but there were some that tried to go further. Luckily, the most he had to deal with at Beacon were some students that would try to look down on him and thanks to some demonstrations each year he gained respect or at least scared the racists into submission.

He was taken out of his thoughts and started to make his way over before seeing another student walk up, a girl in black and white. His eyebrow rose curiously at the resemblance she had to Kali, perhaps a cousin, though he had heard them talk about their daughter. He'd keep an eye on her for now, but then he noticed the bow on top of her head and once again became curious but would probably talk to Jace about it if she goes to his counseling sessions. Nonetheless, he watched the girl in white walk away along with the monochrome girl walked away before a boy walked up and helped the girl in red stand up.

He smiled at the honorable gesture before watching them walk away, he then turned his attention to other students milling about.

After several minutes the last transport came and went as he walked at the back of the dwindling pack, he noticed the boy and girl he saw earlier walking in the wrong direction. Walking up to them he but on a kind smile as he heard the girl say, "So do you know where we are supposed to go?"

"Um… I was following you." Ajani couldn't help but chuckle as he approached saying "Hello, students. Are you two lost?"

The two nearly yelped as they both jumped at the planeswalkers sudden approach before the girl said, "U-um… maybe."

"Haha. There is never shame in asking for directions little ones. Come, I will guide you to the auditorium, come." He said kindly causing the boy to sigh in relief, Ajani noticed the softness of him. He had some muscles but there was a softness other Beacon students lacked, another to talk to Jace about. The girl brightened and said "My name is Ruby Rose, Sir. Thank you."

"Jaune Arc, Sir." The larger man glanced back and gave them both another smile before saying "I am Professor Ajani Goldmane, Student Arc, sSudent Rose. I look forward to seeing you both in class."

Continuing their walk, he gestures into the large auditorium where a few other stragglers were walking into as Ajani pulled away from the students he thought, they will be good students, now better not miss the introduction speech. He then moved on towards the back entrance where he met with Glynda, Ozpin, and his fellow planeswalkers bar Liliana as Glynda nodded to the arriving Ajani she spoke up saying, "Thank you all for coming. Unfortunately, Doctor Oobleck and Professor Port are unable to join us as they both are culling the herds within the Emerald Forest. Now you as every year, you all will come out with me. And Ozpin will come out after. So, let's face this new school year with dignity… and Chandra."

The pyromancer smiled at Glynda after nonchalantly checking her nails as she said "Ye-e-e-es Glynda?"

"No pyrotechnics this year or I will have your Dust supply cut for a month." The younger woman grumbled, "Hmph, party pooper."

"You did catch one student's hair on fire last year Chandra." Nissa said in a calm tone which Chandra held her chest as if betrayed as Glynda rolled her eyes while beginning to walk out onto the stage with the other teachers looking impressive as any Huntsman should as Glynda then watched as Ozpin walked out with the same somber expression he does every year for first year students, "I'll… keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge- to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only take you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."

As he walked off the stage, leaving many of the students perplexed with what he meant. The speech was the same every year, and however morbid it seemed, all the teachers in attendance knew it was to tell them all something more. Glynda walked up and took over the mic saying, "Tonight you all will sleep in the grand hall tonight and tomorrow will be initiation, get some rest and be prepared."

The students then began to mill out and go about the rest of their days, some going to the area they are sleeping to deposit their luggage into the locker area, others going to the open sparring areas to get some simple exercises in before time to rest, the teachers also went about the final preparations for the school year. Ajani then approached Jace's office and knocked before entering saying, "Friend Jace, are you there?"

Upon entering Ajani saw the interior and saw a simple office with a desk, two comfortable looking seats in a corner of the room that allowed a view of the door to let those seeking counsel enough comfort to relax, while still able to react, some simple plants and other small things around the office to make it look official and like a counselor's room. Jace was milling through the papers of new first years as he looked up and saw Ajani and smiled saying, "Hello Ajani, sorry just looking through the new student files for this year. How are you?"

"I am well, Friend Jace." The large Faunus smiled before Jace rose an eyebrow at him as if in question before the former Leonin sighed saying "I do have a request, there are two new students, that I believe we should keep an eye on. Jaune Arc is one of them, and the other is a girl, she wears predominantly black and white clothes and has a bow on her head, I did not get her name."

Jace tapped his chin before going through the applicants and found Jaune Arc's file and then another student's as he pulled them both out Jace lifted the second one saying, "Is this her?"

Peering at the picture of the young woman with black hair, amber eyes and the bow, and Ajani nodded saying "Yes, that is her."

"Her name is Blake Belladonna. Why do you want me to keep an eye on these two in particular Ajani?"Jace looked over the file and they were both acceptable, Blake's being much better detailed then Jaune's.

Ajani then said, "Jaune Arc strikes me as a whelp. He does not have the same feel as the other students. I do not believe he has ever seen combat of any sort. I just wish for you to keep an eye open for any abnormalities about him or, if he passes initiation, about his team. And Blake Belladonna… I am sure of it now; I believe she is related to two close friends of my own. I am unsure how she is related to them, but I know their daughter ran away several years ago. I wish to help them find her; I may have. But I do not wish to force such information from her. If she comes to you, please do tell me what you can about her."

Jace sat back in his chair and thought about it for a moment before nodding saying, "Alright Ajani, should either of them or their teams come to me, I'll see what I can find out."

"Thank you, Friend Jace. Now, I must head off for now, I need to prepare my own office." Ajani then stood up and began to head off, stopping at the door saying, "Have a nice day, Friend Jace."

As he left, Jace looked over each other the files a little closer before sighing and pulling up his scroll and unlocking the device he looked over the screen and saw a message from Lilianna and he smiled easily before getting up and heading towards her office.

As the time passes day turns to night and the new students are all getting ready with Nissa and Chandra both watching over the students as they watched the boys try to flex and show off for the girls causing Chandra to snicker at the antics and said, "I hope they don't try that stuff on me… again."

Nissa couldn't help but give a giggle saying, "I'm sure the new recruiting pamphlets include warnings about you Chandra."

Chandra glared at her elven friend before chuckling saying, "Yeah, probably. So what do you think of this year's new batch?"

Nissa gained a stern look before looking over the population saying, "We will have to wait until after initiation. But I must say there are some that I can see going further then others… what is that boy wearing?"

Chandra looked towards where Nissa was before bursting out laughing seeing a blond boy in a baby blue onesie with a bunny motif. She couldn't help but continue to laugh before Nissa pulled on her ear saying, "Calm down, you need to be an example… you need to at least try to act professional."

Chandra groaned and smacked the animist's hand away before rolling her eyes saying "Yeah, yeah. You, Glynda, Jace, Ozpin, and even Ajani tells me that all the time, I try."

"And do you listen to us?" Nissa gave her a look to which the pyromancer sighed and said, "No."

"That's why we tell you continuously, now come on the students are actually trying to wind down, get some rest, I'll wake you if I see anything." Chandra nodded before closing her eyes and leaning back as Nissa walked up to the bannister looking over the groups of students to make sure nothing happens. The elf then focused on a group of girls on the side of the room that appeared to be arguing before the girl in a black yukata blew out candles forcing the others to go away, she couldn't help but giggle at that. Waving her hands, a small bit she wove mana into a simple spell giving her perfect night vision to keep an eye out for funny business.

The night went on without any issue and halfway through Nissa tiredly woke up Chandra and she continued to watch until the sun rose as students began to stir while the two planeswalkers were comfortably sleeping against the wall. Which is where Ajani found them and couldn't help but snicker at them before nudging them both saying "Friend Nissa, Friend Chandra. Wake up or I will call Glynda."

The threat to the semi-awake planeswalkers was enough to cause Nissa to wake up a bit more while Chandra waved it off and mumbled "five more minutes". Before the large Faunus sighed and hoisted the red head up and over his shoulders as he watched students slowly stir and prepare for initiation. Nissa slowly woke up enough to offer to carry Chandra to the Teacher's Lounge which Ajani relinquished the snoring pyromancer before heading to the cliffs to watch with Glynda and Ozpin as the students were about to be launched and help those that could not make it.

Ajani stood next to the other teachers to watch sentry as Oobleck, Greene, and Port were within the forest staying hidden and keeping the more fearsome Grimm at bay that could not be removed during the pre-initiation purge. Listening he heard Glynda begin saying, "Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of 'teams.' Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... today."

"What? Ohhh..." Ajani looked over and say Ruby Rose looking horrified before the teacher continued saying "Once you are in the forest, you will need to find a partner and make your way north to the ruins and retrieve a relic before making your way back up the cliffs. Choose your partners carefully. Oh, and your partner will be the first person you make eye contact with upon landing."

"Whaaaaa!" Ajani couldn't help but suppress a small chuckle as there was always at least one person who was freaked out by this before he heard Ozpin saying "as there are no questions. Let us begin and I hope you each have a landing strategy for your insertion."

"U-um sir…" Ajani looked over and saw Jaune Arc before Ozpin looked over as well as he took a sip from his endless mug of hot chocolate. "W-what do you mean by landing strategy? Are we getting dropped off with parachutes?"

"No. You will be falling." As he said that, Ajani watched as several students began to be launched into the air before he saw Jaune's plate ready as the Faunus said, "Good luck, Student Jaune. I hope to see you in class."

As a whimper was heard, Jaune was launched into the air end over end as Ajani couldn't help but wince as he watched the rest of the students be launched before saying "I believe we should keep a close eye on him… he seems softer than the other initiates."

Glynda latched onto that before asking, "What do you mean?"

"He seems to be someone who has not seen any sort of combat, Friend Glynda." Glynda then glared at Ozpin who simply watched his tablet as students began to land. He also saw Jaune Arc getting pinned to a tree with a red and bronze javelin as he said, "Well I don't believe that will be much of an issue now, after all I do believe Miss Nikos has caught herself an interesting partner then."

Glynda looked over the videos before sighing saying, "Ozpin what did you do?"

"Nothing at all, Glynda. Now then I believe there are some students in need of some assistance." He gestures to the screen in her hands as two no name initiates cling to trees while Beowolves claw at them. Glynda groans as she jumps off the cliff and makes her way towards them leaving Ajani and Ozpin alone before the former Leonin looks at Ozpin saying, "What is the purpose of lying? It is clear to me that the boy has no experience. I could not even feel his Aura."

"I let him in, even though I know his application was falsified because I felt something else. We will just have to find out if I am right." They both focused on different screens as they watched initiate pairs come together. Ajani watched one particular pair, Jaune and Pyrrha. They had stopped and Ajani watched as Pyrrha performed a ritual in the same way as Ozpin had to him and the other planeswalkers. He watched as Jaune's Aura flared to life and he hummed to himself before looking over at the approaching Glynda saying "Friend Glynda, how did the retrieval go?"

She simply waved her crop, with a slightly annoyed look, forward as two students were deposited in front of the large Faunus as he said "Ah, students. Do not take this loss as a bad thing. It is learning experience, should you wish you may reapply next year. For now, make your way to the great hall to wait for your debriefing."

They both sulked but made their way before Ajani looked back as Glynda looked over the pairings and found the last one had been made as she said "And the last pairing has been made. Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie… poor boy."

Ajani looked into the screen and found the green clad boy and pink-colored girl and couldn't help but chuckle then said, "You should give them credit. A calming mountain to the howling wind. Anything else would not be able to hold up to her."

Glynda looked back at the teacher before smiling lightly as they continued to watch the approach. Ajani watched as several students made it to the ruins first and took their chess pieces before making their way to the cliffs where Ajani or Glynda guided them to the Grand Hall again to await the team naming ceremony. As the initiation continued, Ajani watched some students fail and were saved by teachers or as unfortunate as it is, some were injured badly and were quickly taken to Lilianna by a teacher. And then finally the group that held the attention of Ozpin the most made it to the ruins by different means, a yellow haired student with Blake made it by simply killing some Beowolves. While Ruby Rose fell from the sky while riding a Nevermore before colliding with Jaune from being launched across the forest. Soon after a pink-clad girl riding an Ursa came crashing through the forest followed by a boy in green, and finally the white clad girl that Ajani assumed to be ruby's partner fell from the sky before Jaune attempted to be valiant only to fall and be a cushion for the lighter girl before the last of the group, a girl in bronze and red came through the forest being chased by an old Deathstalker.

The former Leonin looked at the older planeswalker asking, "Do you believe they can handle those two Grimm?"

"Hmm…if they cannot Port is the nearest teacher, and my belief in those students would have been poorly placed. Have some faith my friend." Ozpin looked over to Ajani with a smile that told the larger man he was right. Ajani could only roll his eyes with a smile as he began to watch the young adults begin to run towards the extension of the ruins. Ajani couldn't hold back a smile as he watched the two groups begin to show teamwork, even if it was rough and in the early process, but it was an early lead on many other teams. As the encounter ended with the large Nevermore being beheaded and the Deathstalker impaled with its own stinger Ajani chuckled saying "I am always amazed at the abilities of the new ones."

Ozpin simply nodded while he waited for the group of eight to arrive where Ajani offered to let Glynda stay behind to watch over Ozpin as he walked up to the group saying "Congratulations each of you. Welcome to Beacon. Please, I will collect your relics at the great hall, follow me."

He gave the teens a reassuring smile which some responded in kind while the orange haired girl was already animatedly retelling everything they just did to the green clad boy. On the way back, Ajani was faced away from them and he allowed some of his mana to leak out and bolster each of them as he felt they deserved a small boost after their somewhat intense battle. His eyes began to glow white as each student felt a small euphoric wave wash over them as the depletion of Aura was quickly rejuvenated.

-Several Hours Later-

Ajani stood beside Glynda, Ozpin, and Nissa, who had rested enough to be presentable, as Ozpin named off teams before arriving to a group of young men with full plate armor on and differing hairstyles, naming them Team CRDL. Ajani could see the leader's eyes and he could feel the burning feelings within him and made a note of it for his own class.

Ozpin then began with a new set of names "Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. You each collected the white rook pieces. From this day on you will work together as Team JNPR, Led by… Jaune Arc."

As he said so the teachers clapped and many other students did, the boy seemed floored by such an announcement. As the group slowly made their way off stage, Ozpin spoke to Jaune in passing saying, "Show us what you are capable of young man, I'm sure you will do great things."

The planeswalkers all looked at the boy and nodded with a smile before Ozpin continued as the group of four girls arrived as he said "Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Blake Belladonna. Yang Xiao Long. You each collected the white knight pieces. From today on you will work together as Team RWBY, Led by… Ruby Rose."

The teachers watched as the blonde teammate hugged her leader as she was giddy. Weiss, however, looked aghast but quickly schooled her features as Ozpin gave them some parting words as well saying, "Good luck young lady, you will do wonderfully."

They then vacated the stage as Ozpin walked forward with the other three teachers at his back as he said. "Each of you that has passed initiation know that this is only the first step on your journey. Keep to it and listen to the guidance of our staff and you shall each find your path. You are all dismissed."

And now we truly begin :) So, how will the new teachers act with the students. and how will the students react to the teachers? find out next time on the Guilds of Remnant!

and that is my dragon ball reference for the year... hopefully. anyway yeah so we have the stage set, the characters are in their place and the curtain rises. let the insanity truly begin.

Review Shout outs

Xealchim: That would be a spoiler if I said anything wouldnt it? So all I will say is that now that Remnant is open to the multiverse again... the possibility of an awakening certainly exists but it would require a large Aura or large attunement to mana. We'll see ;)

The Baz: Lol I see you are an Azorius player to the core... lol, anyway I may or may not have an idea involving everyones favorite mad huntsman in the future. be patient ;)

So until next time all, This Celt is out.
