We were in a private booth of a random café. Ozpin, as I learned his name, was just sitting there after I finished my story for the second time today. I swear that sipping sound he made while he drank his coffee was him purposely trying to annoy me.

"Ok"

"Ok...?"

"Ok...I Believe you"

"Just like that?"

"Just like that. Mr Magnus, when you have experienced as much as I have, it tends to open your eyes to the possibilities. As you have no doubt sensed I too possess magic, albeit not in the levels you do. Maybe once upon a time I did but that was long ago."

I just stared dumbly at the man. Finally someone believed me! As much as that made me happy...something Was off. There was a sixth sense that warned me all too late that trusting this man too much would be a bad thing.

"Well Mr Magnus, as you have little to no knowledge how this world works I feel it is in your best interest to follow me to Beacon. We can have you housed in one of the empty dorms until initiation for the new semester starts. At that point we can see about enrollment to the academy. This world could use another hunter of your caliber."

I mean really it sounded like a good idea. I didn't have any money for one. Hell I didn't even know what the money here looked like. The school would be safe. It could also help me get caught up on what's it like here and I could look for a way to replace my stronger rings. But something in me was still screaming at me saying that this sounded fishier than a white van with free candy written on the side.

"Of course this won't be completely out of generosity..."

Called it.

"I may ask you at time for requests or special missions someone of your skill set will help me with after you graduate. Also I'd have you keep your eyes and ears open at a student level for me. You need not worry me about anything on a normal level like cheating, bullying, gossip, kids 'hooking up' as you put it." He seriously did the air quote to emphasize that. "I'm not looking for a 'narc'." Again with the air quotes. "I'm looking for someone who can tell me if anything serious or dangerous that would endanger the entire school."

"What like a bomb threat?"

"I suppose that would count yes. I don't expect anyone to do anything. There are multiple layers of protection in place around my school. But a rare tool has fallen into my lap and I would be amiss to not take advantage of it. Even if it does turn out to be nothing more than an extra set of eyes and ears."

I mean it probably will be only that if I'm too busy with homework. Double homework since I'll probably have to catch up. Learn the alphabet if its different. Learn the numbers. Learn the math if its different. Find out how their money works. This is going to be fun...yaaay.

"Now about your origins. I believe its in our best interest if you DON'T tell anyone else about your abilities or magic. If we spin this right we can just play it off as a complicated semblance and another mecha-shifting weapon. I'm going to need you to tell me how your magic works so we can limit it in front of the students. Also to anyone else you will refer to me as Uncle Ozpin and I will have some identification forms doctored for you to support the façade. We'll need to give you a last name. There is a sad tradition here that children without families often take the last name 'White' or 'Black'. I think Noir would better fit yourself. Do you have any questions?"

"Yes sir, a few to be honest. Basically why help me? I get that I'm useful to you but this sounds like a lot of work to go though just for basically a spy among the students. So what's the deal?"

After that Ozpin just took another long drink, draining the dregs of his coffee, then sat in silence. Possibly contemplating his next words, possibly trying to figure out what lie to tell me.

"To be honest there are many factors in my reasons to help you, but I'll provide you with the 2 best reasons. First there is an external force working against myself, Vale, the kingdoms, and humanity as a whole. I would much rather have you on my side than working against me on hers and if buying your loyalty is the way to achieve that, then so be it.

Secondly is slightly sentimental. Once upon a time I once had a family and very much like ourselves they too possessed the gift of magic. I made a mistake and lost them, lost everything. Helping a magic user like yourself feels like this old man's vain attempt at retribution for that mistake.

"Wow...ok" As you could tell by my eloquent answer her and earlier with Blake, I am a master when it comes to awkward situations. Speaking of Blake I wonder how she's doing?

"Mr. Magus? While I do enjoy your company there is much to do and little time to do so. I will need an answer otherwise we'll have to make some alternate arrangements. So what do you say?"

What could I say? The clock was ticking and this is honestly the best deal I could get. So what if I had to be a spy. Any other of Ozpin's offers were probably going to have similar strings attached anyways so why not?

"Ok Uncle Oz. You have a deal." I stuck my hand out and prayed to whatever god or gods ruled this world that this didn't backfire.

"Splendid" Ozpin calmly reciprocated the handshake, then pulled out his wallet and dropped some cards on the table and stood up with his cane. "First lesson, this is Lien. Its the currency of the realm. Different colors for the different amounts. Now if you'll follow me, we'll catch a bullhead to Beacon and start to get you sorted out. Also a bullhead is a type of aerial transport...wasn't your bike parked out here?"

I followed him outside and was a bit surprised to see my bike missing but my connection to Dragon told me it was with him and not in fact stolen.

"It's safe don't worry. I'll explain later"

"Very well, follow me then."

With that I followed the other wizard to start my new life here with my strange new uncle.

Author Note: Sorry for the late update. Like I said earlier,I work on these at work to avoid me murdering my callers and I didn't work
over the weekend. I'll probably upload another chapter in a few hours. It surprisingly easy to type out my chapters. Hopefully it
stays that way. For now though, in a few chapters when my Wizards enters beacon due to circumstances I want to hear from my
readers if you want him to tag onto Team RWBY, JNPR, replace someone on CRDL, or be on no team at all. I'll post the poll on my
profile so vote while you can but the chapter this takes place won't be for a bit. Next chapter dropping soon. Also adislt I think
we can both agree the original Wizard had no problems telling anyone he was a Wizard or revealing himself as a Kamen Rider, but I
took your input into account with this chapter. I am open to any reviews, constructive criticism, suggestions for this story.
