AuNotes: Hello everyone welcome to another chapter enjoy...Yea that's it nothing else to say

Talking "Hi"

Thoughts 'Hi'

Team RWBY had lead the knight to the schools battle arena a circular room with multiple seating with a battle pit in the center of the room. Wander was actually a little excited to see what these students were capable of against each other and, learn ways to combat them himself if the time came. A number of students filled the room taking the many seats of the arena chatting about to themselves about who might do the fighting today. Team RWBY again wanting to take seats towards back of the stadium kind of to Wander annoyance wanting to see the action up close so he convince them otherwise.

Now with everyone seated Wander see's a familiar woman walking to the center of the arena 'Great the witch' he's face of annoyance mask by his helm. Goodwitch had address the class telling them that today's training will be randomly chosen match up's with no exceptions with the Vytal Festival there would be no slacking off causing some sounds to let out groans. A screen display hung above the a arena for all to see began to run though the many names of the students before stopping showing Yang against someone called Russel Thrush a shaved head boy with a light-green Mohawk.

"Yang Xiao Long from Team RWBY and Russel Thrush from Team CRDL get your equipment in meet back here in fifteen minutes." Goodwitch ordered.

"Well looks like am up" Yang said with glee seating up with Russell as well getting up who was seated across the room.

"Luck to thee" Wander wished

"Thanks big guy but I got this in the bag" Yang said with a confident smirk before going off to get her gear leaving everyone to wait for both of them to return.

After a while of waiting the old warrior had a question.

"What are the rules of this contest?" Wander questioned wondering just how far they could go in this battle before it had to stop. Weiss took the chance first to educate "It's simple. A spar between to two students or more depending on the ringmaster battle with there registered equipment in till there Aura shields are depleted." Weiss explained looking please with the explanation.

"Aura?" Wander questioned.

But to gates of the arena could be heard opening drawing his attention see both Yang in here outfit he meet her in and the other student enter the ring.

"Are you two ready?" Goodwitch questioned.

Both nodded entering there combat stance with Russell drawing to curved daggers with a metal cylinder at the hilt and, Yang pumping her Ember Celica gauntlets loading there shots. Goodwitch then withdrawn from the center area as a countdown started from five. Russell and Yang circled each other as the number dwindle down both waiting for start.

Zero.

A bell could be heard ringing as Yang shot forward like a bullet her right arm pulled back ready to deliver a haymaker. But Russel duck under her fist dodging before countering slashing upwards putting to much force and leaving openings that Yang did not miss leaning back as Russel dagger pass harmlessly in front if her as she than deliver a crushing gut punch with her left while firing from her gauntlets following up with a combination with right hook to the jaw and, a explosive left straight in a literal meaning. Russel launch back into arena wall from Yang explosive punch cause he him groan in pain as his aura shields ran out making it a quick match.

Goodwitch called the match in Yang victory making check offs of both students as both exited the ring. "Now next match will be" Goodwitch said as the next rotation of students began.

'Well that was just sad' Wander thought on how fast that went.

A little while later Yang come back in here uniform and was greeted by here team but saw the knight completely focus on other students battle's not even looking as if he knew she was back. "Is he alright?" Yang questioned "I think so" He hasn't said a word after your battle started and, kind of just been staring off" Her sister answered. Yang shrugged before taking her seat again next to Wander as Goodwitch announced the winner of the current match. Yang guess he was really into battles he was a knight after they suppose to be about battles right?

Yang felt a tap at her shoulder to see Wander had final come out of his trance "Wassup big guy" Yang asked. "Lady Yang I had a question of your weaponry those gauntlets of yours" Wander questioned with Yang waving here hands as to go on "How does your weapon work? Or for that matter how does most of your weapons work I've seen them in combat, but it still a escape me".

Yang then realize "That's right you wouldn't know what dust is, or even guns for that matter." Than Yang had a idea as she notice something "I can help, but there someone who knows a bit more than me." Wander didn't fully understand what she was getting at but her eye's look past him making him turn to see Ruby who must of overheard him staring with a sparkly in her eye's once again making him think that he wasn't just seeing that.

"I can teach you so much about weapons!" Ruby geek "I can have everything plan by tomorrow starting with firearms and than maybe thoughts of a new weapon design and maybe..." And he stop listening as most of Ruby words became rumbles to him not even noticing that he turned to continue watching the matches.

Wander had to say these kids could take some hits seeing them take full on hits without armor, and still battle making him wonder if there was some trick that he been looking for but a light shine that made itself visible when signs of fatigues showed was all he saw. Some of there speed needed to be noted seeing some students maneuver around reminding him of some monsters he's face before, but he hasn't seen anything he couldn't keep up with seeing much more dexterity in his lifetime.

He hasn't seen anyone with pure destructive power, but the unorthodox use of there weapons, and his lacking knowledge was the most dangers to him. A few more matches went on some more interesting than others it seems things were coming to a end as the witch began to speak again.

"Alright students there will be one last spar" Goodwitch said as the names were being ran. First to pop was Cardin Wincheter member and team leader of CRDL a boy with burnt orange hair and purple eye's who had silver armor with a golden trim. Wander could see the young man stand up from the crowd look to a slightly big fellow with a smirk on his face looking confident before his battle watching the screen to see his opponent. As the counter stop no image was shown no team just a name.

Wander.

Goodwitch eyes widen looking down to her board 'No no no that can't be he shouldn't even be in the system yet' While was trying to figure what happen Goodwitch heard a heavy thud behind her and turn around to see the old knight had already drop into the arena.

"Well this is interesting witch" Wander started "Didn't think I would be place into battle". 'No no no no' Were the repeating thoughts of Goodwitch looking up into the stands see some of the students eager to see how this person battle, and the shock faces of Team RWBY who were unprepared for Wander to take off so fast into the arena. Goodwitch did not trust him to battle another student, but knew it be suspicious to suddenly canal the match because of him people start talking making outlandish rumors so she made a call.

"Mr. Wincheter would please get your equipment" Goodwitch ask with Cardin nodding jogging off to the locker rooms. Goodwitch approach the knight while they wait for Cardin return "What is it witch?" Wander ask his tone slightly annoyed not going unnoticed by the Professor " I am here to tell you that you are not to push this spar too far or I will end it, and you if necessary" Goodwitch warned her voice a low whisper only for the Ex-undead to hear.

Wander only chuckled "I know the rules of this contest." the knights hand rested on the Chaos blade hilt "And I believe I told you if your going to threaten me put some effort into it unless your going to challenge me right now witch". Goodwitch eyes narrowed at his words, but thankful before anything could spark between them the gates opened as Cardin enter arena arm with a large one handed, black mace, with ten flat flanges being extended farther outward than a regular mace would and a red crystal placed at the center, kept in place by four claws.

"Seem's everything ready than right?" Wander asked in a slight mocking tone.

Goodwitch said nothing to him walking away to the spectator side of the pit as Wander put his full focus onto Cardin who approach him before stopping ten feet away from him. "Haven't seen you before so I guess your new" Cardin said "So you wouldn't know that I'm one the top fighters in the first years!" He beamed with confident.

"Is that so" Wander responded drawing the Chaos Blade his voice completely empty as if he really didn't hear him.

"So sorry for the beat down am going to put on you" Cardin laugh at his own little joke spinning his mace as the arena countdown began.

Wander had crouch down into his battle stance the Chaos Blade close to his center to tighten his guard for the lacking shield that he would usually be in his weaponry. He began to circle Cardin who turn followed his lead began to circle as well a smirk upon his face as both heard the counter hit zero and a bell was tolled.

Cardin tried to take first strike stepping forward swing his mace in a downward ark to crash his opponent with his might only for the armor knight to meet his strike the Chaos Blade slide under the mace crushing end as Wander began to push back surprising Cardin with his strength. Wander took the opportunity to push the weight of Cardin mace off of him and kick forward right into Cardin guts making him stubble back opening him for a slash right across his chest, and allowing him to gain ground and go on the offense unleashing multiply slashes.

Wander knew he had made contact with his blade but saw no wound on where he strike. 'Seems I've have to push a little harder' Now picking up his speed the knight continued his rush.

Cardin matches his strikes with his mace clashing against each other causing sparks with each strike. Starting to get flustered on being on the defense Cardin smash his mace towards the space between them causing mass explosion knock Wander back caught off guard but still was able to roll back on to his feet. The knight had look back to see Cardin airborne soaring down upon him with his mace over head causing to roll forward under him avoiding another explosive strike. Wander turn back towards Cardin deciding that he's seen enough as he was taking the time to study Cardin moments and that it was time to finish it.

Cardin had recover from his strike and prepare himself before charging again with the same downward ark he started the match with most likely charge to explode this time. But he had a plan this time he's open hand began to glow red. Just has Cardin was about to smash down a large *BOOM* went off sending Cardin flying out of the sudden smoke into the pit wall cracking upon impact.

Soon the knight exited the smoke without a scratch but with his right hand slightly smoking. 'Has more of a kick than I remember.' Wander thought casually rolling his right hand seeing Cardin smash into the wall trying to collect himself after the attack. 'Still awake huh?' Guess the kid could take more hits than he thought. 'Probably could of put some more power in to the Pyromanic'.

Cardin head was spinning a bit after that last hit, one second he was about to smash that armored bastard and another moment his face was suddenly grab before he went flying was it his semblance? It must had been or maybe dust either way he still had some Aura left before the match was called so was going to be caught off that easily again. With a new found will Cardin began to us his mace to lift himself, but swiftly brought back to the earth when a heavy metal boot stomp into his face with the force of a truck sending back down into the ground as he felt the last of his Aura go.

Cardin opened his eyes to see a sword pointed two inch from his face seeing the armor man having the upper hand.

"Yield" was all that Wander said "This is your lose take it honorably".

Cardin had look at him before nodding and let go of his mace having nothing left to fight with.

Wander sheath his blade as he made his way towards the witch who had called the match. "That will be all the matches today continue all of your training and I'll see you all next time". And with the students began to make there way out if the arena. Wander turn to see Cardin already making his way out the arena from the pits gates there eye's connecting for a moment as Cardin look back toward the knight before leaving his sight.

Goodwitch had lead Wander out of the battle pit since after all he didn't know the exit since he drop into the pit instead of using the door. Having meet back up with team RWBY to say that some of the members weren't happy with his actions well mostly Weiss talking his ear off about rudely going about himself without a care saying something about Beacon standers he just nodded from time to time to get the conversion over with see that arguing would only extend her ranting at least that what he's learned in his experience though life.

No his thoughts were on the battles he witness including his own. He was try to connect battles to see patterns or even similar tactics so he could find cracks in there fighting style so that he could use them to his advantage when needed. But it seemed that there were no relations between students fighting styles, sure there was equipment use that had matching uses but everyone still had a twist or personal use to it. Usually he was able to study enemy moments quickly maybe after a death or two but was able to memorize and attack without much difficulty. But see how some students were still novice they still had unique battle styles, and advance weaponry making his lacking knowledge a weakness one that my be problematic.

Fights here could prove quite amusing making him wonder what challenges could be ahead of him. But as it stand he might be laughably unarmed, true he's spent countless years mastering use of a blade and even longer mastering the magical arts he still found use in having a multi use of other weapons at anytime.

Wait... what did happen to he's other weapons and armor? Since his magical bag was missing since he been awake and having some of his most powerful tools miss was another thing he would probably have to deal with.

"So are you going to let us in oooooor" Blake voice called to him.

"What?" Wander notice he was now in front of what look like his room door surrounded by Team RWBY looking at him expectantly. How by the gods did he get here.

"To show us your dorm" Weiss answered "Ruby ask to see where your room was after are talk". But the knight stared at her blankly head tilting in confusion "You nodded before walking off without a word" Weiss went on.

By Gwyndolin moonlight did he? He was so deep to his now thoughts he traveled here without a care, guess he couldn't be to surprise he's long since learn to travel without focus letting his body move on it's own as long as he already remember the pathways. Letting his unsleeping mind settle as he walk for hours at a time around the country so he wouldn't be so bored... well until he learn to teleport to bonfires. But now he's thoughtless action lead him here soooo.

"Yes of course" Wander played off reaching for the door handle and began to jiggle it. "It's lock" He than realize the witch never gave him a key.

"Well yea your scrolls the key to unlock it" Yang said pointing at him "You didn't lose it right" Wander reach into his waist pouch pulling the device out and showed it to Yang. "Perfect now let me show you" Yang went onto show the the knight to unlock his door with the strange device putting it up to a pad next to the door, and with a click it was open.

Pulling the door open Wander had let girls in ahead of him before entering himself. They look at his mostly empty room after all it only had a large bed in to corner and a dresser next to it and a small desk and, since he didn't have anything to put in the room it was quite bare.

"Man your room huge compared to the dorms" Ruby commented "If we had space like these we wouldn't need bunk beds we would all have are space".

"That true but this room a little lifeless huh" Blake said noticing how bare the room really was.

"Yea but it has potential to be a awesome room" Yang began to think of a plan" Maybe even making it a hangout spot! I mean it's far from the other dorms has space for more stuff".

"You do realize this is Wander room right?" Weiss questioned seeing Yang get ahead of herself. "And your already making plans".

"Well I'm sure he wouldn't mine" Yang casually said

"Plus now we can get more stuff that we wanted to buy" Ruby exclaimed

Wander at this time was just sitting on the edge his bed watch the group as they talk between each other as Yang and now Ruby plan to change the room which he had no problem with as long as he still had a bed he was fine with it because he wasn't going back to sleeping on walls but seems Weiss was still try to argue with them. He felt someone next to him he so turn see Blake standing there looking at him.

"Mind if I take a seat?" Blake ask.

Wander move over a small bit "By all means".

Blake sat down cause the bed to squish in a little already hold the armored weight of Wander. "Not joining your team discussion" The knight questioned but Blake just shook her head no "I found that they'll wear themselves out over time" Blake answered before look over to Wander "Are you always going to be wearing your full armor?"Wander look over to her "Am always ready for a battle against enemies"he put simply. "But your with us in your room at the academy where is this enemy you speak of?" Blake questioned.

"Who knows could be in hiding outside could be waiting at the door looking for a opening." Wander than grab his helmet taking it off and resting it on his lap, surprising Blake as she stared into his blue and red eye's "Or the enemy could be right in the room with me" Wander voice with a slight edge making Blake a bit unconformable looking away from the knight stare before hearing a chuckle. Wander set he helm aside for know before continuing "You see Lady Blake I am in a strange setting as of now so I must have a level of precaution".

Blake took his words for thought knowing that it made since. She herself keep thing close to herself only opening to her teammates overtime telling the truth about her past life "I understand where you're coming from" Blake sighed in till she felt a hand on her shoulder and turn towards the Ex-undead. "But who knows what the future may hold" Wander went on "I may be looking to you all as comrades and friends as I spend time here but for now I am look to you and your team for guidance in this new time."

Blake had a small smile at his words and nodded.

"Well look who's getting friendly" Yang voice rang out drawing both of their attention and seeing the rest of the team had stop there argument "Leaving us out of it huh? Yang questioned looking over towards Blake who only raised a brow.

Ruby had taken a seat at front of the bed before noticing Wander helmet laying behind him "Hey do you mind if i see that" Rudy ask pointing towards the the helm. The knight turn to Ruby following her gaze to his helmet, he thought about for a moment not see any problems he allowed it nodding. Ruby smiled as she reach over grabbing it, and upon lifting it Ruby realize that hit was heavier than it look before bring it closer expecting it.

Looking closer at it Ruby could see that it has seen use as her hands felt around the helmet felling the small dents, gashes, and scratches that were all over it's surface for it has seen true battle. What was it like she wondered the battle of the past how did they do it what kind of weapons did they have, the different struggles they went though. "Hey Wander" Ruby called out

Without turn to her Wander answered "Yes?"

"What was it like being a knight in your time?" Ruby asked but was meet with silents as the knight keep his back turned making Ruby feel as if she said something wrong "If your not ok with it you don't have to tell us". "No it's nothing against you Lady Ruby just a long story and not a very pleasant one for the lands were unforgiving.

Yang had scooted Ruby farther onto the bed and behind Blake much her displeasure, having her seat taken after her sister getting tired of standing. "So no saving princesses and fighting dragons huh? Yang tried to lightly joke but a soft kick to her back made her turn back to see Ruby just shaking her head as well as the rest of the team at her joke. Wander didn't get the joke so he answer plainly "No most dragons had already been killed by my time but a few still could be found in the most special of places of the world." He then though about some the wyvern and Drakes he's face the descendants of the dragons powerful in their own rights but still lacking the true power of a full dragon.

No he's face true dragons in that of Seath the Scaleless and the Black Dragon the true blood of their kind both fell to his blade. "And I never save a before princesses but I like to think that I tried to do right by some I met on my journey"...Yes he tried to the best of his abilities.

Weiss had now took the last seat of the bed that was to Wander other side clearing her throat to gain everyone attention "As nice as it been relaxing I think your all for getting what are purpose is" she had gotten nothing but blank stares "To start teaching him important information remember!?" Weiss pointed out

"Huh that right we should probably get on that" Yang agreed

"I'll get books then"Blake said

"And I'll get snacks!" Ruby shouted stand up on the bed.

"Can you all get off my bed now" Wander ask worried that it might break from everyone weight. He just got a the bed after not having one for hundred of years.

"I'm glad were back on track" Weiss chimed

-(Some Time Later)

Wander had to say Weiss seem to really take to teaching him as she would go on to full dull explanations of certain subjects such as basic study of the new world English, some basic knowledge gapes on what everyone should have a idea on, and the list went on. As informative as it was there were some things the knight found more important at the time, such as of how students fought with some force that he couldn't full understand. The answer was simple for them Aura the physical manifestation of one's soul usable by any with a soul with practice course. The many applications of Aura was wide for example defensively a skill Aura could make a small level shield that protect them in battle which all students of the academy should know, or make full on shields that cover more than one person though it is said to be very taxing.

Offensively the use of Aura was quite vast for everyone had their own use of Aura to go with their battle style making it unique to them unless they teach it to others. And just because everyone has Aura not everyone could use it, most of the time Advance Aura users have to unlock someone else Aura for them not that it was the only way for unlocking someone Aura since it was very tiring . Sometimes highly stress situations could cause a flight or fight reaction in some people causing Aura to flow through. But it must be know Aura was not limitless everyone had a limit even if some had a large pool than others, if you run out of Aura in battle you can leave yourself open and defenseless.

It was a lot to take in for the knight but it wasn't hard for him to understand, he's seen people use theirs or other souls in strange was before. Hell he used the fading power of other souls that he killed to empower his own leaving there core that would usually rebirth itself for lesser beings while stronger one's cores would be left behind while the rest of them completely moves on with no rebirth.

But it seem that people here had a higher manipulation of their souls. Making enemies have a highly usable weapon against him that could be anything depending on the person skill.

Interesting.

Also learn more about his scroll and he had to say it had a lot of uses for such a small device being able to communicate over large distance could prove usefully. It caught him off guard when they demonstrated how it work calling his scroll and showing him him how to answer. Slight problem was I couldn't use the damn thing with my gloves on something about them being to thick for the device to read.

Not to bad a of a first trail if he had to say. Ruby seemed excited to show him the school weapon shop tomorrow saying that it would be quite the sight but he'll be the judge of that. But it was late so all of Team RWBY leaving him some peace and quiet since he was sure he would have less and less of it on the coming days.

AuNotes: Well that's all for now so thx for read and enjoy yourself

Peace.
