The next day, Teams RWBY and JNPR woke up and each went about setting up their rooms before they each looked at the time and dashed out of their dorms towards their classes. As the group of eight students charged through the courtyard, Jace, Glynda, and Ozpin watched them. Glynda sighed, Jace chuckled while Ozpin simply sipped his hot chocolate as Jace said, "You enjoy this too much, Ozpin." Glynda rolled her eyes but nodded in agreement, as Ozpin continued to keep an unashamed look of amusement watching the students barreling down the halls.

Upon entering their first class, they were greeted by a calmly smiling Nissa Revane as she stood behind her desk waiting for the, almost late, eight students. Her classroom was similar to a greenhouse with many plants and vegetation scattered all around the room. Once they found their seats as she said, "I'm glad you eight could join us on time. Do be careful. Now then, welcome each of you. I am Professor Revane and I am here to teach you all about how to survive in the wilds while on assignments."

Nissa then looked over each person and said, "If you would look under your desk, you will see the syllabus, I want you each to read it and familiarize yourself with the schedule and pacing, let's begin with today's lesson."

Nissa then went onto to give a calm and thorough lecture about how her class would work and some simple tips that came to her mind before someone finally raised a hand saying "Professor Revane, what kind of Faunus are you?"

Nissa stopped and looked over the students and saw it was the young leader of Team RWBY. She was blushing at the embarrassing question and Nissa smiled saying, "I am not a Faunus, if you're curious about my ears. It is simply a rare condition. Do not worry." Then the bell rang and Nissa said to her class, "It seems our time is up." Nissa hated to lie as she was always proud of being an elf. But even after four years of using the lie that Ozpin convinced of saying since her first year, it still left a bitter taste in her mouth.

As the bell rang many of the students milled out leaving her alone or she thought before she turned and saw the leader of Team RWBY standing there fidgeting a little as she said "U-um, Professor, I'm sorry for asking that question. I know it's rude to ask about that stuff, but I was so curious."

The elven woman chuckled musically as she gently patted her shoulder saying, "Do not apologize for being curious, Ms. Rose. I am asked every year. And here think of it as me being special like you, I am proud to be different and never let anyone put you down for being different."

Ruby took a moment to process before smiling brightly saying, "Thank you, Professor Revane."

"See you next time, Ms. Rose." Nissa waved to the girl as she rejoined her team and she caught the eye of her black-haired teammate who seemed very curious. Though, she simply smiled and waved to her as they left.

On the way to their next class Yang ruffled Ruby's hair saying, "That was grown up to own up to the mistake, Ruby." Blushing Ruby, mumbled a thank you as Weiss simply scoffed and moved forward towards Grimm Study and Theory.

Walking the classroom, which had a large tarp covering something along with a well-maintained area with several fake stuffed Grimm heads mounted on the wall, while the board showed diagrams and notes on the major species of Grimm near Vale. They then found a seat and were introduced to a large man with a very large moustache and bombastic personality as he began "Monsters! De-e-e-emons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Haha!"

Ruby was already asleep, only to be startled awake by the loud laugh as the teacher seemed curious as to the lack of a reaction as he then went onto to continue with his lecture boring many of the students and making others uncomfortable with his story. As the class moved on, he reached his climax saying "A Huntsman must be courageous! Cunning! And most importantly and wise! Are there anyone among you all who think they embody such traits?"

Team JNPR saw Weiss about to explode watching Ruby pick her nose and act a little childish through the class as she slammed her hands to the desk as she said, "I do, sir."

"Really then? Step forward and show us all then." Professor Port then pulled the tarp away and revealed a cage with a Boarbatusk within the cage slamming against the bars as he said "Step up and face your opponent" Many of the students were shocked to see a live Grimm in the class, Jaune in particular was staring as Weiss got up and went to a side room to change and retrieve her weapon.

Coming back out she prepared herself, Port had retrieved a blunderbuss with a dual headed axe named Blowhard, and he stood next to the cage. Weiss gave a signal and Port slammed his weapon into the lock, letting the Grimm free. The Boarbatusk then charged at Weiss. Despite appearances, Peter Port was keeping close watch over the battle and if something was to happen, he would be able to easily intervene. Over the next minute as Weiss fought the Boarbatusk, Ruby was shouting advice from the side lines but this only cause Weiss to become annoyed and rebuttal back at her. She continued the fight, however, before impaling it on a dust-based icicle, Peter then cheered saying, "Bravo, young Schnee. That was exemplary! We are indeed in the presence of a true Huntress in training, class dismissed."

Panting lightly Weiss curtsied to the professor as she glared to her team annoyed before marching off. Ruby then followed her out of the classroom and down a hall where she found her teammate saying, "Weiss! What is wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?!" Weiss growled back as Ruby took a step back. Around a corner, a blue hooded figure stood just out of view and listened to take mental notes as Weiss continued saying "you have been acting like a child since initiation! You didn't earn your place as leader of this team. Ozpin chose wrong."

Ruby's head sunk as she took the verbal lashing as Weiss stormed off and before Jace could approach, he received a mental message from the approaching Headmaster telling him, "Don't worry, I got this."

As he approached, Ozpin took a sip of hot chocolate saying, "Now that didn't go so well."

"Was she right? Did you make a mistake, Professor Ozpin?" Taking a moment to seem to think over her question Ozpin then looked at Ruby saying "Ms. Rose, I have made more mistakes than any man or woman alive. But at this moment, I do not believe appointing you leader was one of them. Do you?"

Ruby looked at him with surprise before she could continue Ozpin, "Being a Team leader is not just a title you carry into battle but a badge you wear constantly if you are not performing at your absolute best. What reason do you give others to follow you? You have been burdened with a daunting responsibility, Ms. Rose. I advise you to take some time to consider how best you will uphold it."

Walking away, Ozpin moved towards where Jace was quietly listening as he said, "What do you think?"

Jace simply shrugged saying, "It's only day one. Let's see where it goes." Ozpin smiled towards his fellow planeswalker as the bell tolled again marking the next class was due.

Moving along to the next class was a free period for teams save team leaders as they had to go to what was called Leadership Class, taught by Glynda Goodwitch. It was a straightforward lecture giving them the basics of class and what to expect. Then to the leaders joy it was lunch time. Ruby and Jaune rejoined their friends at the cafeteria as they all ate and chatted. The staff member within the cafeteria that day was Liliana who was calmly eating at the end of the table that happened to be Team RWBY and JNPR's as she listened into conversation enjoying how youth worked. Living for over two centuries gives you an appreciation for youth and the energy and brightness they bring. She especially enjoyed listening to the first years while she calmly ate her food.

As the lunch period wrapped up, Lilliana cleaned up her food and her nurse's outfit that consisted of a white lab coat, jeans, and a form fitting black top. She could feel some of the boys' eyes on her and simply ignored it before heading back to her office. Back with Team RWBY and JNPR they all moved towards their next class for the day, Dust Studies. As many students made their way towards the doors of the classroom there was a slight rumble, causing some to pause before the door exploded outwards, with the unlucky person in front of it being Jaune Arc.

The blond leader skidded back and groaned. He then whimpered as a second explosion occurred. Many students were frozen and only the sound of coughs could be heard. Then a person walked out, she removed her soot covered goggles, showing her hazel eyes, while looking at the soot covered class. She blinked a few times before smiling and saying, "Hello everyone, I'm sorry for that… you alright, kid?"

She walked towards the boy with a dazed expression on his face as his team surrounded him with concerned expressions save for Pyrrha who glanced at the woman with slight anger. Giving a big cough to clear her lungs, she smiled saying, "Alright everyone. File in and we can begin… forgive the smoke… it should clear soon"

Walking back into the smog, she opened the windows to let the lab styled classroom be exposed while the leftovers of some sort of machine were pushed into a corner as she moved to the board and picking up a towel she wiped her face clean showing her bright orange hair before saying, "Alright you lot, My name is Chandra Nalaar, I'm going to teach you all how to deal with Dust safely and how to make the biggest explosions possible."

With a brilliant grin seen, it was mimicked by a gasping Nora as she was bouncing in her seat while everyone was terrified. Weiss couldn't help but stare in horror at the teacher before a random student said "U-um, Professor Nalaar."

"Please, call me Chandra, I hate being called Professor. Too stuffy, anyway yeah?" she smiled at them as the student said "Well… um... Chandra… you're on fire" As she said that Chandra raised an eyebrow before looking down at the end of her jacket and saw a small blaze and simply said "ah" nonchalantly as she simply wove her hand out towards it and caused the flame to suddenly roar to life before simply vanishing with a small use of her discovered Semblance.

The suddenness of the power caused some of the students to gasp while Nora was simply looking on in awe, with the background of the internal screams within Ren's seemingly calm face. Chandra then went into talking about how the class would run experiments and what was expected of them. Overall, it turned from many students fearing for their safety to many leaving the class in a cold sweat.

Moving on, Weiss was still shuddering at the blatant unsafe use of Dust seeing several piles of the energy propellant laying on the table outside of save containers, while many of the shelves were simply mismatched containers making the entire classroom a bomb… how did Miss Goodwitch allow that?

The two teams made their way to the next class history and were greeted with an energetic teacher named Bartholomew Oobleck who was adamant about being called Doctor. After all, he didn't earn his Ph.D. for fun. They then moved on to the next class, being Military Strategy. As they entered, many students were greeted by a smiling Ajani Goldmane. The tall Faunus was waiting patiently for the students to find their seats, before speaking, "Greetings students, I am Professor Goldmane. I am honored to be able to teach you all the art of military strategy for these coming years."

The sight of a Faunus teacher caused some of the Faunus students to brighten while some of the humans darkened especially Team CRDL, but none spoke out. Ajani noted each face that darkened the most before continuing with a smile as he moved behind his desk which was well maintained with a small bonsai tree and his axe hanging next to the board with some ancient proverbs about war and peace written there. The leonin spoke about what was in store for the students and handed out the syllabus while ignoring the racist looks, he was receiving from some students by far remaining the calmest of teachers next to Nissa. At the end, Ajani said "Now remember students, you have all trained. You have all earned a place to attend this academy, but this is only the beginning. It is up to each of you to learn and prove each day that you deserve to be here. With that you are dismissed."

As many left Ajani saw a note left behind by one of the students and sighed as he read it saying, "Go home, filthy Faunus."

He simply set it into a small dish he held on his desk and placed a dusting of Fire Dust before igniting it. He despised how many of the humans acted but he knew many would realize their mistakes or die being closed minded. As the teams moved on towards their final class for the day, combat, too many of the students they could feel this would be their favorite class. Professor Goodwitch was as firm as she was during the leadership class, keeping every student in line before explaining the rules of the spars. And then she called for a volunteer for the first spar, and in a show of bravado and pride, Cardin Winchester quickly volunteered saying "Who am I going to crush, Teach?"

Rubbing the bridge of her nose, Glynda couldn't help but be annoyed as she then said "This will not be a normal spar, Mr. Winchester. This is to show that you all are only beginning. Professor Goldmane has been kind enough to offer his support in this."

As she said this, the Faunus professor walked onto the stage in his combat outfit or rather his original leonin garb. A billowing white cloak over his shoulders, his chest exposed with two leather straps in an X across his dark skinned chest, golden pauldrons on both shoulders, leather vambraces on his forearms, a leather and cloth loincloth that covered his thighs with leather armor and boots, with his large dual ended war axe and his scarred over left eye he was an intimidating vision. A vision of a Huntsman even with his kind smile man of the students felt on edge. Cardin, however, had no such fear as his eyes trailed up to the two lion ears on top of the teachers head and sneered before Ajani spoke saying "It is an honor to help, Friend Glynda." The two approached their starting points and prepared themselves and Ajani could feel the hate and anger radiating off the boy and thought like a wild cub, Student Winchester.

As he nodded to Glynda as his face was set into stone, a visage of someone who had seen many battles. All the students watched closely excited to see how a true Huntsman fought. As Glynda looked between the two combatants, she noted the tone that Cardin was exuding before calling out, "Begin!"

And as she did, Cardin quickly sent out a battle cry as he charged recklessly his mace held high before Ajani effortlessly deflected the wide swing. He then retaliated with a harsh swing of the dual colored blades hooking the curved blunt side around Cardin's neck, bringing him into a vicious knee strike to knock his head back. Seeing the strike taking a hefty chunk out of the students Aura, Ajani unhooked the ginger brute before unleashing a flurry of slashes and swipes across the student's armor, tearing away at his Aura before delivering a final kick with a calm expression as the buzzer went off signaling Cardin's loss.

With the buzzer, Ajani pulled back as his axe was about to deliver another devastating blow to Cardin's neck as it to decapitate the boy. As Glynda stepped up, she said, "As you all can see, you have a long way to go. You made it here by being the best in your classes. We are here to help you become even better. Class dismissed!"

As she finished, many students were staring in awe at Ajani as he put his simple weapon on his back before hearing Cardin get up and growl in anger. Ajani turned and said, "I am glad you are able to stand, Student Winchester. You may go and clean up."

Cardin simply glared at the Faunus before walking away. The large man sighed looking at Glynda and said, "I fear that did not have the desired effect on that one, Friend Glynda."

"It doesn't always work. Hopefully he can learn to accept the Faunus race." Ajani nodded saying "I agree but I fear it will take a great thing to happen for him to learn."

Teams RWBY and JNPR both left the class in a bit of shock. Some less than others as Ruby and Yang were both raised by Huntsmen, so they were used to watching such fights but the ferocity with such calm was surreal. Jaune seemed almost shaken by it all, while walking towards the dining hall the group of eight crossed paths with a man in a blue jacket with a hood who stepped to the side before smiling kindly at them as he simply listened to them talking and even into their thoughts.

Hearing a plethora of thoughts was nothing new to Jace but two set of thoughts attracted his attention more than the rest. The blond boy's thought caught his attention as he was rather unsure of himself and how he was going to make it. Then there were the white-haired girl's thoughts, he couldn't help but smile knowing that the haughty attitude he saw earlier was somewhat curbed by something that happened earlier in the day. He simply shelved his own thoughts before the youngest of them stopped and looked at him like a confused puppy which to him caused a smile from the sheer cuteness as she said "Hello there. Are you a professor? I don't think we had your class."

He simply chuckled saying "No, I am not a proper teacher here. But I am the Beacon's psychologist and therapist. My name is Jace Beleran. It is a pleasure to meet you, Ruby Rose."

He noticed her slight jump at the knowledge he easily took from her own head before saying, "I know each of your names. I see the list of initiates every year. I didn't mean to startle you."
His easy smile put her at ease while the other leader walked up saying "it was a pleasure to meet you, sir."

"And to you as well, Jaune Arc. If any of you need someone to talk to, my office is always open." The mind mage gave specific meaningful looks towards the blond leader and black-haired member of team RWBY before saying "Anyway, I hope you all enjoy your dinner, good night."

As he walked away, he couldn't help but chuckle at some of the thoughts emanating from them before refocusing at returning to his office to meet with a certain Necromancer.

Review Shoutouts

The Baz: My dude you and I are the same though I prefer my Naya populate and Knights. anyway I completely agree, Remnant has enough issues with Grimm, Eldrazi would steam roll them and the slivers would just overrun them.

Anyway as always, until next time, this Celt is out.
