AN: Hey people, I'm back! As always, I'm going to respond to a few things that were said in the reviews.

To the person who said that Harry shouldn't have a semblance of aura because he lacks a soul please pay closer attention to the story. I said that he had a semblance powered by his 'anti soul' which also powers the abilities of other Grimm…how else could a nevermore shoot their feathers and make them grow back instantly? Or a boarbatusk begin rotating a hundred miles per hour in an instant? The void of the soul creates its own unique energy which he uses to power his 'semblance' and I never said he had aura.

To the people who say that a five man team makes no sense and that I should have Jaune thrown out of the school…y'all need to chill. I actually like Jaune as a character so he stays in the story. And as for the five man team…you can't honestly expect for there to be the perfect amount of people to make teams of four every year. It's all but impossible to be honest. So having a five man team would make more sense. Also, they never show group competitions in the show. They show group projects but even then you see other groups working with each other. So no, it wouldn't cause a problem.

A Grimm Huntsman 3

Chapter 3

-Yang-

"Come on!" she yelled angrily at the remaining Ursa, its companion lying dead against a tree from her anger "You want some too?!". Before she could find out of the Grimm in front of her did in fact 'want some' she heard a whistling noise followed by a thunk as a knife flew through the air and imbedded itself in the back of the Grimm's skull, the handle sticking out of the mouth it entered as the Grimm's eyes rolled up into its head and it fell face first onto the forest floor.

Looking over her shoulder she saw the boy her sister had apparently taken an interest in, Hadrian, walking over calmly, one hand held limply at his side while the other was at an angle with the thumb tucked into his pocket. "Eh," She said with a shrug "I could have taken him.".

"Sure you could." a new voice spoke up as she turned around and saw the black haired girl that Ruby had mentioned meeting yesterday. "Nice aim by the way." The girl added, almost as an afterthought towards Hadrian. Normally she would have been quite offended at the girl's statement…okay she was still offended but she noticed something that distracted her. Like that Weiss girl earlier Blake seemed to flinch at the sight of Hadrian's mask but her expression also showed…hesitant familiarity but not at Hadrian but the mask itself.

Filling it away for later she glanced at the two, "So," she asked "I guess we're a group then?".

"Until we get matched up with another group." The black haired girl spoke up before humming thoughtfully "I wonder who we'll be matched up with.".

"It's actually pretty simple," Hadrian spoke up while moving over to the Ursa and gripping it by the side as he began to flip it over, likely to get his Knife back, nodding gratefully at her when she oved over to help "we have to retrieve a relic…well each Relic is part of a pair and the two groups that grab each pair are made into a team.".

"And you know this…how?" the black haired girl, she really needed to learn her name, asked skeptically.

"Because I've been rooming with Ozpin for a few months," he said with a shrug "he always forgets to put his notes back into his desk after he's done with them and I stumbled across them a couple weeks ago.".

"You do know that we're being monitored…right?" she asked him warily as she was sure that at the top of the cliffs the blonde woman, Glynda, was giving her new headmaster the ass chewing of the century.

"I know." Hadrian said with a calm shrug before wiping the blade of his knife clean on the Ursa's fur "Now come on, my HUD says that North is that way so we'd better get moving if we want to get to the temple quickly so you can end up on the same team as your sister. Wouldn't want another team to grab that slot, now would you?".

"Oh I doubt it would be that bad." She said with a snort, brushing off the comment as she knew her sister needed to open up more to other people.

"There's that arrogant girl that likes the color white too much that she could end up teamed up with," Hadrian deadpanned "and there's a guy among the potentials here that's been arrested several times for sexual harassment and assault against Faunus. The only reason he got in is because he entered into a tournament which had the first prize being guaranteed entry into the school.".

"Let's move!" she yelled, grabbing her new teammates as she started to drag them in the direction Hadrian had pointed, not wanting her precious baby sister anywhere near people like who Hadrian had mentioned.

-Harry-

Running a hand through his hair he sighed, bringing his flask up to his lips as he took a long draught of Firewhisky, the familiar burning sensation calming his nerves even if he reluctantly acknowledged that he couldn't afford to have much more that day as he could feel the inebriation ghosting at the edge of his senses. He was stressed enough as it is with putting off going through his curse but he was being thrown out of his comfort zone as Ozpin had made him promise to try to be more 'sociable' with his teammates. Glancing at the girl with the bow, who had introduced herself as 'Blake' and said "I can see you, you know. Why do you keep flinching whenever you see me?".

At that question Blake stiffened and he saw her sweat nervously before looking down and muttering "It looks like the Grimm masks that the White Fang use." As even Yang froze at that statement.

"I don't know about that," he said with a shrug as he could tell that while what Blake has said wasn't a lie it wasn't everything "but I bought this from an old mask maker who said he had made an almost identical mask in white and red which had been stolen a few months before….luckily it hadn't been given all of the…upgrades mine had gotten at that point.".

"Upgrades?" Yang asked intrigued, a sentiment even Blake seemed to share to a certain extent.

"HUD which contains a compass, infrared, night vision, and a direct connection to the Vale huntsman's database." He listed off some of his masks abilities…had to keep some upgrades for himself after all.

"What, no x-ray vision?" Yang asked with a snort and a flirtatious wink which he ignored, using most of his self-control to avoid blushing, both at the wink and the fact that the old man who had made the mask actually did make that one of the upgrades. Before he could find a way to answer though the broke through the tree line to see a small ruin at the bottom of the hill with several pedestals on them. "Think this is it?" Yang asked them as Blake just gave her a look that screamed 'really?' and began walking down. "Hey, it was a fair question!" Yang pouted before following after their teammate as he snorted and did the same.

"Chess pieces?" Blake asked in hesitant confusion when they reached the temple and began looking at the 'relics' on the pedestals.

"Some of them are missing," Yang said, gesturing towards the empty slots "I guess we aren't the first one's here…how could we tell if Ruby already took one?".

"She's your sister," he said with a shrug "what piece would she be likely to take?".

Yang thought for a moment before smiling widely and grabbing the golden Knight piece "The cute little Pony!" the blonde exclaimed happily.

"And since the other one is still here I vote we just wait around until your sister shows up so you can assure yourself that she isn't stuck with an asshole." He said with a shrug before leaping up onto the top of the ruins before laying back to relax. Waving cheekily at a camera he noticed as he wondered what Glynda was doing to Ozpin.

-Ozpin-

A somewhat battered and bruised Ozpin was glaring at the Scroll in his hands, more specifically at the screen that showed Harry waving cheekily at him. "I still can't believe you forgot to put away your notes." Glynda said with a scowl at him, causing him to flinch as that woman was scarier than a Goliath when angry.

"It's not my fault," he said as he tried to inch away from his irate colleague "I thought they were put up.".

"Then you should have made sure!" Glynda snapped, rapping him across the head with her switch as he yelped. "Why does he seem so…smug right now anyway?" Glynda asked him after a moment, her eyes narrowed in concentration at the screen.

"He's hoping that you've thoroughly beaten me as 'payback' for a promise I made him give me earlier." He grumbled as he rubbed the growing lump on his head.

"What promise?" Glynda asked confused.

"That he be more social with his teammates." He said before sighing softly, saddened by the memories of what his young friend had gone through.

"Why would-" Glynda began before he cut her off.

"He's been through hell Glynda," he told her seriously, his eyes colder than they had been in a long time "if I could have I would find the ones who put him through it and tear them limb from limb. Harry isn't just my charge…he's my friend. Unfortunately his coping mechanisms…well they not only make his decisions poorer but they make him cheekier as well… I just hope he doesn't become too reliant on it.".

"What 'coping mechanism'?" Glynda demanded, her eyes narrowed as he was sure she had already figured it out.

Realizing that it was a good chance to get back at his young friend he gave a simple shrug, "Whiskey.".
