Au Notes: Hello everyone I hope you all enjoy the your holidays and is having a good new year so far and as a good one the rest of the year. Any how let get to it.
\[T]/ PRAISE THE SUN!
Exhaustion was all the undead well ex-undead felt as laid in a surprisingly soft bed, for how long has been since he's had a bed to actually sleep in, usually he lied against a wall to rest his eye's a moment for undead truly didn't need sleep for the body was able keep going but the mind needed settling once in a while.
His armor laid at the foot of his bed leaving him in his chain mail to sleep in as he didn't want to be completely defenseless.
But here was feeling tired nonetheless, he felt a little caution to going to sleep for his guard to be lowered even more. Even if he accepted Ozpin offer he didn't feel completely trusting of him for it would be foolish to do so. He has had his fair share of Liars in his time. But still his eye where heavy and the Dream world called to him for he had much to do when morning came.
So he slept.
(Location Unknown)
Complete Darkness in all surroundings the empty cold air was all that lingered.
A voice was all that echoed in this endless void, "Did he hurt you my dear?" A deep sickly feminine voice called out.
Grrrr... A low growl replayed in answer of the voice,
"Yes I know that traitorous fool hurt you my dear. But worry not for we will meet him again." A mad laughter soon followed full of amusement to one self as if there was a joke only they knew. "Besides are friend still has something we needed.
(Beacon Academy)
Wander had awaken from a dreamless sleep as knock reach his ear for the door. Now fully awake the knight had gotten up grabbing his Chaos Blade from his bedside making his way to the door.
Upon opening door he greeted to the sight the witch looking none to please what seemed like clothing in her arms
A single eyebrow raised as Goodwitch face change to one of confusion."Why do you have your weapon?" She questioned as Wander had blade ready at his side. "Because I didn't know who was at the door?" Wander answered simply stating the obvious. "You open doors ready fight someone?" Goodwitch questioned again signing, 'This is a terrible idea' she thought to herself she was against this idea Ozpin cook up, and she had talk to the man explaining the many flaws in this plan.
First was Wander is still a dangerous unknown and putting him around the students was a risk,
Second he was a rude man.
Third Ozpin wanted to keep his present hidden for everyone else, and for her understanding she couldn't understand why.
Wander had step aside to let the witch in "Yes yes I do, never know if someone has come to try kill you". In his experience you couldn't be to prepare for anything.
He flash to a memory long ago to when he wasn't prepare a lone chest was a lucky fine so he went to open it hoping for a great a find but... he wasn't prepare for what that chest had to offer. He promise that day never again.
Goodwitch step in as Wander closed the door behind her "Well there will be none of that here" Goodwitch turn to toss a plastic wrap to the knight "That will be your uniform with three back ups.
"Uniform?"
"Yes a uniform and you are to wear it at all times during class time, and make sure you are to be proper and presentable to live by Beacon Academy standards. Goodwitch said switch to full on Professor mode "I have a list of your class here on your own scroll. Goodwitch then handed a strange flat device the ex-undead.
Wander look over the device with curiously it was small enough to fit in his hand. It had a white border with a strange clear screen that was giving a blue light. "I know I been gone a while but this isn't a scroll witch".
"It's just the name of the device also don't break it!".Goodwitch exclaimed"It's a useful tool for your future schooling life, and any question of it's us can be explained by Team RWBY as you are to under there care in till you grow of custom to your new surroundings, and they will be reporting to me of your action". Goodwitchs eyes to narrowing.
Wander scoffed "I am no child witch everything will be fine so there no need for worry, and if your going to threaten me least put some effort into it. Because he's face more troubling things than a woman scorn.
Goodwitch eye twitch going unnoticed by the knight " I don't have time this get dress and be prepared in ten minutes!" Before giving the annoying knight time to talk back Goodwitch had step outside the door closing it behind her.
Wander stared at the door for a moment before looking at the uniform in hand 'Might as while before that witch tests me again' he thought to himself.
(11 minutes later)
Wander open the door to see Goodwitch standing across from his door will a ever so present frown upon her face for a very good reason.
Because Wander seemed to be fully armored in that filthy armor of his. "Where is your uniform? Goodwitch questioned but the only response was the knight knocking on the chest of his armor "You're wearing it that under armor!" Goodwitch exclaimed.
Even tho she couldn't see his face she was sure it was one that change to annoyance.
"Yes I am witch, wearing the uniform was all you ask for so my armor should be no concern of yours". Wander then walk forward before hearing her response she did say there was no time to wait.
Goodwitch quickly followed after him, he was not going to just walk away like that "We will discuss this later" Goodwitch ordered.
"I'm sure we will" Wander lazily respond. 'Today was going to be a long one' he couldn't help think to himself but hey at least she was quiet for now.
The two had continued in mostly silence but Goodwitch had explained that the rest of the teachers had already been told of his cover story so they going to help him with his 'lost knowledge' during class time another day. But in the meantime Goodwitch been guiding him across the courtyard, he had to say the school look so much more alive then it did at night students going around there day some seem to looking at him whispering among themselves but he did pay it any mind but he haven't seen so many humans before like this, uncursed and none hollow.
He did questioned the humans with beast parts but he'll ask later. He simply thought this was some new change that had happened over the time he's been gone but he was curious almost enough to ask the witch but had enough talking to her so might be better to wait for Ruby and the others but he still had to ask.
"Where are we heading?" Wander ask
"Ozpin office Where Team RWBY is currently waiting for use as Ozpin explain the situation to them".
"I see" gods he really didn't have anything to say this woman he really hope they were close to their destination.
The two continued there walk a little while longer before reach a familiar secret lift from the night before, so reaching the top of the tower Wander could hear Ozpin speaking inside but now familiar with the office he walk forward ahead of Goodwitch towards Ozpin.
"Ah seems are new student is here good morning and Professor Goodwitch" Ozpin greeted "I hope there was no troubles coming here this morning". But they were not alone Wander notice the four girls he come to recognize all wearing what he could guess the female uniform a red plaid skirts and brown jackets with a tan vest and white shirt with a red ribbon tied at the collar.
The all girls turned him Ruby and Yang both having a smile while Weiss and Blake gave a small wave. It was nice seeing them, but they have business to deal with first. "No no trouble at all" Wander could see the witches eye twitch from the corner of his eye.
He held in his chuckle.
But Ozpin couldn't help himself as he gave low chuckle of his now noticing Glynda irritation but quickly change his to Headmaster mode. He noticed that the warrior still had his armor on "Was the uniform not to your liking?" But same as before with Goodwitch the knight simply knock against his chest armor confusing the others before Goodwitch explained what he meant by the gesture.
"What!" Weiss cut in "Your going to class like that" gesturing to all of him what weird rumor are going to pop up with him always walking around like that.
"I will, it has no impact on my daily activities" plus he wasn't going leave a important part of his armory in a room for a battle could strike at any moment so never has he been completely defenseless.
"Bu..." but before Weiss could go on Ozpin had cut the conversation.
"That's fine you do whatever fits you" Ozpin offered "Besides classes will be starting soon and I've instructed and her team to give you a short tour of the school class, and believe you all have some things to discuss.
He had a point so they all said their byes the Headmaster before leading the warrior of past out of the office, leaving Headmaster and Professor alone.
"So Glynda how's your morning?" Ozpin questioned. But the sharp glare he received by the woman show that this was not going to be a pleasant conversation.
(Around Beacon)
Team RWBY well mostly Ruby herself was excitedly pointed the many different layout of buildings that made Beacon . Wander had taken this guide as a way to have a layout of the academy for himself as confusing of the academy has turned to be, so he had hope he didn't needed to run around anytime soon.
Oh he was caught in his thoughts again Ruby was starring "I'm sorry Lady Ruby I didn't catch that". Wander said causing a small pout on Ruby face how could he not pay attention to her awesome tour " I said what do you think of the academy?" Ruby questioned
"It seems accessible "
"Just accessible?"
The knight just shrugged "Your school is impressive but I have seen many sights in my time on my journey, so takes more than to astonish me". He's has explored the unknown from the realm of Demons to the Kingdom of Gods seeing only something man can only dream to see.
Not like he asking for those sights, going though it once was fine enough.
"Well that's all the time we have for now." Weiss pointed of checking here scroll "We have 15 mins to get to Advance Studies with Professor Oliver". The two sisters groaned in union "But that class is so boring." Yang complained with Ruby nodding in agreement behind her. "Plus all she does is give us a mountain of book work".
"Well I actually enjoy her lecturers and her work" Weiss countered back.
"You would" Yang said
"Wait what does tha..."
"Shouldn't we get going?" Blake cut in with the Wander who's been quietly standing next her during the Team... discussion. "I'm guess we don't much time left". She had a point they could arg... discuss things later.
So on it went with all students heading towards there respected classes, now in a busy area of the hallways Wander could notice more people stares as they passed by him but again he tried not to pay any mind to it, but it was starting to be a little irritating having stares followed by whispers. People wouldn't think he had above average hearing but you develop a keen awareness in all your sense are while battling for your life after a while, so he could hear most of the students from him being weird, strange or try to stand out? He didn't get that last one. But thankful it look like they reach the destination.
Team RWBY shown him into the classroom and, it had been a sizable room looking as if it could fit plenty of students with different levels of seating that circled the room leaving a desk right in front of everything with a blackboard behind it for a Professor use. The class a good number of students filling the many out the seats of the class but he didn't know what he was suppose doing next. But a pull on his arm had gained his attention as his head towards to see Ruby pulling his towards seats in the back of the class were the other where already seated.
So following her to a seat the warrior did have to take his blade off his belt and rest it in front of him. "Headmaster Ozpin wanted you just watch the classes today." Ruby whispered next to him so he nodded understanding look down towards the front of the classes.
It was time to see this school education.
(2 hours later)
He change his mind he no longer cares for there learning here. The two hour of class has been uneventful the one call Oliver that teaches this class had came when a bell had tolled, and began to lecture and teach something call Advanced Mathematics which from what little he understood (very little) he's pretty sure he hated math. But besides that no problem of yet and it was meal time so the girl has been guiding him the dining hall. Not that he felt hunger or at least not yet his body already began to feel the need to sleep so he wasn't sure if his body was going to need human necessary's which he had hope not. He had gotten use to not needing bodily needs, so he felt as if they were going to slow him down.
But he'll worrier about that later.
Reaching the dining hall if was full and lively with students scrambling to find seats, socializing and enjoying there meals. "So Big Guy what you hunger for?" Yang questioned "They have a little bit of everything here so the options are nearly unlimited choice". Beacon was a high ranking school so having chiefs from around world to cook many unique dishes was one of the perks of the academy.
"I do not hunger." Wander simply stated.
"I'm not really hunger either." Blake said "So guess will fine us seats".
Letting Blake lead the way both left without another word leaving the rest of the team to get inline to get there lunch. So Blake began her search for a table preferably one away from most of the crowed. But she couldn't help glance over her shoulder to see the armor man silently following her seeming completely out of place with his large bulky armor seem unbothered the easily noticeable stares of other as they pass, she still hasn't come to a understanding of the past warrior it was something about him that she could't figure as if by instinct he was a danger, and it's been like this every since seeing him battle using spells similar in description in book she been reading. But she was sure she was just paranoid. So she was trying to get use to his presents so she could stop having this feeling
"Will this spot work" Wander voice cut though her thoughts. She turned to see him looking towards a large lone table right for the taking, Blake nodded in approval of his choice approach the table taking the nearest spot to sit placing her belonging in front of her with the knight sitting right across. The two had sat in silence nether saying a word to each other just waiting for the rest of there group to join them.
For what Wander he could tell was that Blake had caution around him, it wasn't very hard to notice if you really paid any attention for the way she always in a certain distance of him never to far to look strange but close enough to react if needed if he was going to do anything. Never completely having her eye's off of him. Even now she had a book in her hands reading but will make quick glances at him before returning back to her book probably think he wouldn't notice with his helmet.
It was almost impressive... but not close enough so he'll let her have space from him. Maybe they'll have a understanding later in knowing each over.
Or won't doesn't matter to him either way.
'Well this is a little awkward' Blake thought unable to completely focuses in the book she been read for over a week 'Maybe I can start a conversion about his history'.
"Um Wander I have a question" Blake voice cutting though the quiet.
"I may have answers"
"Well I was wondering if was ok to discuss your history?" Blake continued show him book in her hands. "I been reading about your time never thinking these story could be true but here you are a living part of the past so I thought...". The knight could see where she was going with this, and see no problems of humoring her.
"I see nothing wrong with the pro suite of knowledge you may ask your question."couldn't help to see how much she did know about his time. Blake having a small smile thought to herself 'What to ask' she did have many question but where to start.
...
"You knew about King Gwyn when we talk on the ship so, would you happen to know about his four knights? The book doesn't have a lot on them" Blake questioned, she knew of them and that they served Gwyn but other then that nothing.
"His four knights huh? Very well but who to start with?" He questioned aloud.
Ah he knew who to start with
"Gwyn Four knights of legend were his most accomplished among his army, which each having master there skill sets separating them from everyone else, and the first to be recognize was".
Dragon Slayer Ornstein believed the captain of the Four Knights and one of the two knights he battle personally but Blake didn't need to know that. Ornstein was one of most trusted knights of Gwyn while also being highly skill with his {Cross spear} a tool of dragon slaying. It was said his thrusts where the speed of lighting itself with not many coming even close to his speed. He had earned his place in Gwyn most elite times during war against the dragons.
"But he was beaten by the Chosen Undead right" Blake had cut in "Along with Smough"
"Yes that's true he was struck down following his orders to the very end." Wander thoughts had wonder to one of the most challenging battles he had fighting another knight dying few times to the man before striking him and Smough down. But it was time to move on.
Next was Hawkeye Gough a Legendary Dragon Slayer even before Ornstein, was the greatest archer any had seen able to shot a dragon mid flight out of the air with one place shot all in a short notice. He should know he seen the giant do it when he had been rip into the past but again Blake didn't need to know that. But sadly he was later blended by those who he thought alleys who pack the eye holes of his helm with tree resin even tho his aim was never lost maybe even enhance with his {Greatbow} he later retired.
"His own alleys made him lose his sights!"Blake exclaimed "How could they do that they where all on the same side".
"Who can say the thoughts of beings can be truly cruel." He seen it happen to so many he really stop questioning it there was no point after a time he realize he couldn't change anything that had happen so what was the point and seconds thoughts on the matter.
But again it was time to move on.
The only female of the knights the assassin Lord's Blade Ciaran. He actually didn't have much to say about her for she live a completely quite life working from the shadows so him not having much say meant she was very good at what she did only her {Gold and Dark Silver blades} being the last thing most people saw before drawing there last breath.
And the last on...
"There you guys are, Nice spot." Yang called out unknowing interrupting Wander, both Blake and Wander turn see the rest of the team final getting there meals. "You wouldn't believable the line" Yang commented taking the open seat next to the knight with Ruby and Weiss also taking there seats. "So what are you guys talk?"
"Just a bit of history Lady Yang, Lady Blake ask for a story of warriors of the past".
"Awww what!?" Ruby cried "We miss a story". Ruby was enjoying the story of the past i was a very mysterious.
The Chosen chuckled "Have many story's Lady Ruby I'll will tell a story another time". gain a small awesome from the red girl, and he turned look towards Blake "And I'll finish that story another time as well" Blake had nodded in understanding.
"Its fine I learn a bit more already" Blake thought for a moment "And it's only fair that a answer a question of yours. We are here to help you."
"Hmm very well I do have a question".
"Yes?"
"When I was with the witch earlier I notice that some humans have parts of beasts such as tails horns, and one with what look rabbit ears. I didn't want to speak to the witch on this." Mostly to limit his interaction with the woman.
At first Blake was almost insulted at the fact he call them beast but remembered he has no knowledge of any evens that happen she was going to try explain the clearly "Those are Faunus not beast".
"Ok then if not beast what are Faunus"
"Well Faunus are one of the two intelligent races that inhabit Remnant, the other race being Humans. While Faunus resemble Humans, they're often easily distinguishable from the latter in that they possess the traits of animals.
"So there not Humans? Even if they look similar in live the same way?" Wander tried to word out
"Pretty much but there some biological differences" Blake continued but the head tilt of the knight tip her off that he might not know what that means. "What i'm saying is that Faunus have some different body reactions".
"Such as?"
"Well for one Faunus can see in the dark, more resistant to cold and hot weather and depending on there animal aspect they have even more" Blake explained
"Really? must be quite the alleys then" Wander commented.
Blake was a little shock "Really?
"Yes seem like any Faunus would be fine comrade, I don't see why not" Wander could definitely the avenges of having a Faunus companion.
"Hey Big guy have you fought along anyone" Yang question for next him.
This did cause him to pause a moment think of some people a fought along side him his battles but also how he killed some of them or had to watch them die either way. "Well yes I have but only for a short moment, most of my battle I face alone".
Not much else was said after that as the the girls had finish the lunch right before the bell had rung. So with all the students pouring out the dining hall Team RWBY had wait for a moment for the crowd do die down a little.
"So where to next ?" Wander ask
Ruby had turn him with a kind of creepy smile
"Combat Class!"
Now that got a smile out of him that no one could see.
AuNotes: Boom done with that for now. I just what to thank everyone for reading my story and hope you continue to do so. So have a good day
Peace I'm out
