A Grimm Huntsman

Chapter 7

-Harry-

Adjusting his tie, he stepped out of his room in the dorm, keeping his face blank as he tried not to shake from the nightmares he had gone through the night before. When he stepped out, and was actually visible, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake looked at him in shock, having not seen him after he returned the night before. "Hey Ruby, looked what wandered in last night." Yang teased "You think we should keep him? He might make a entertaining pet."

"Ha, ha, ha" he snarked "very funny Goldie Locks. I almost forgot to laugh. At least if this whole huntress thing falls through you can be a comedian for a few Lien."

Yang simply blew a raspberry at him before he let out an grunt when Ruby rushed forward and hugged him, "You came back!" Ruby said happily as she nuzzled into his stomach causing him to blush, not used to the physical affection and having no clue on how to respond.

"Of course half pint," he said after a minute, ruffling her hair as she let go, thankfully without feeling his scars "I'm your leader. While I may need some time to myself every now and then I'll always come back."

"Some leader." Weiss snarked as he turned and shot her a small glare and levied a small amount of aggressive aura that all Grimm could do, his form allowing him to use it to an extent. The aura caused fear when used against those with souls but the little bit he used would only cause a shiver to go down Weiss' spine and he doubted Ozpin would feel it at all.

"Now come on," he said as he cut off the aura "let's grab some breakfast and get to class before we're late."

"We're going to be late?!" Weiss screamed, having not really listen to him, before taking off running to their first course, Grimm Studies with Professor Port.

"She'll learn her lesson when she's hungry during class," he shrugged before turning to the remaining three girls "come on you three. Let's go."

"Can I grab team Juniper?" Ruby asked hopefully.

"Sure," he shrugged "but hurry, I'm hungry."

Nodding Ruby zoomed out the door and to the one across the hall before knocking, "Come on guys! There's food to eat and classes to take!"

"Will there be pancakes?" a bubbly voiced that he thought was from the orange haired hammer user called out.

"There should be," he said, joining Ruby in the hall "it is breakfast after all."

There was a pause and a silent, "Oh dear." From the other side of the door before Nora burst through the wall. Not the door, no, she literally ran straight through the wall, the two boys from her team tucked under her arms.

"Pancakes!" she yelled what was quite possibly the strangest war cry he had ever heard before charging to the cafeteria.

"I'll fix it later." He sighed in amused exasperation, the girl had all the hyperactivity of Dobby but with a pancake obsession rather than one over socks "Now come on you four, before she destroys the cafeteria." Turns out that was a good call as the girl was trying to get a stack of pancakes taller than she was when he walked in. Chuckling he left the red head to go reign in her teammates before he went through and got a simply breakfast of eggs and sausage, his team getting their own meals while they sat down.

"Nora…please…never do that again." A slightly green Jaune said once the other team sat down across from him, the two boys looking shaken and disheveled.

"Awwwwww," the bundle of destructive energy whined "but it was fun!"

"And rather efficient." He pointed out with a smirk "She got most of her team in an impressive time."

"See!" Nora exclaimed smugly "Dragon Man says I did good."

"Dragon man?" he asked blandly, a single eyebrow raising in question at the girl.

"She refuses to call you anything else." Jaune grumbled, the blond team leader trying, and failing, to tie his beacon tie. The black haired boy on team Juniper clearly sharing the struggle which made sense as the other guy looked like he didn't normally wear ties.

"Guys," he said, getting their attention as he undid his tie "watch." He slowly went through the motions of tying his tie as the other two followed him, several other male students who were watching copying as well.

Finally they all went to Grimm Studies, the only person there so far being Weiss who sat ramrod straight in her seat, staring intently at the chalkboards which had sketches of various Grimm and notes about them which Weiss seemed to be copying. Sitting on the end of that row, Ruby and Yang taking the places between him and Weiss while Blake sat on the heiress' other side, he watched team Juniper take their seats, their classmates slowly trickling in. Finally, five minutes before class was scheduled to start, Professor Port waddled into the room, mustache on full display as he gaped. Ozpin hadn't been exaggerating at how big that damn thing was.

The man simply stood at attention, completely silent, as the only sound was the ticking of the clock or the shuffling of paper as everyone got ready. The second the clock said it was time for class though the man exploded into action, throwing a hand out and exclaiming "Monsters! Deeeeeemons. Prowlers of the night. Yes the creatures of Grimm have many names but I merely refer to them as prey." The portly man ended with a laugh that was clearly an attempt to sound confident but it failed miserably. Everyone who had initially jumped when the man began talking soon had a dazed look from sheer boredom and exasperation with the man's attitude.

"Uuuugh," the Professor was apparently flustered at the lack of awed faces "and you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy." At that point he only half paid attention to the man, deciding to only focus when the man stopped monologing or wasn't talking about his own past exploits, something that Ozpin had warned him about. He did though pump out a good chunk of Aggressive aura when the man sent Yang a flirty wink, the rotund teacher flinching back in surprise before quickly moving on as Yang giggled and sent him a grateful wink.

Soon though the man got to some actual relevant information, "The moral is a true huntsman must be honorable. A true huntsman must be dependable. A true huntsman must be strategic, well educated, and wise. So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?"

The second the man asked that question Weiss, who had been glaring at both him and Ruby the entire time, shot her hand into the air "I do sir!" her attempt was ruined though by her stomach growling loudly.

"Miss Schnee, did you not eat breakfast?" the professor asked and, when Weiss looked away in embarrassment, continued "I'm sorry but I can't use your for my demonstration today if you aren't at full strength. Never skip a meal without a very good reason. It could come back one day to hurt you." Weiss sat down, looking furious and, judging by her glare, she was blaming him. "Now, does anyone else believe themselves to have these traits?" the professor asked as several other students raised their hands. Some confidently, some nervously, and some arrogantly.

He was surprised though when Ruby and yang called out in tandem, "Harry does sir." As he blinked in surprise, he hadn't even raised his hand as he didn't see himself as the most dependable person around.

"Is that so?" Port asked intrigued, "Someone thinking they have those traits is one thing but two people saying another has them says a great deal more. Mr. Potter, you shall be a part of today's demonstration. Are you ready or do you need to go get your weapon?"

"I don't use one." He said, standing up and shedding his jacket "I fight using my semblance."

"You shouldn't be too dependent on your semblance Mr. Potter." Port scolded him, "What if you find yourself in a fight but out of Aura or against an opponent your semblance is ill suited against?"

"It's not that I'm against having a weapon I just haven't had the opportunity to use one." He explained "My old method of fighting no longer works due to an accident I suffered a few months ago and I've yet to find a new weapon." He could practically feel Ruby salivating at the thought of designing a new weapon for him.

"Very well." Port nodded before flipping a switch as a panel in the floor slid away as a cage rose up. "Now, face your opponent!" with that Port slammed down on the cage lock with a strange combination of axe and musket, releasing a boarbatusk from the cage. Grinning he tilted his head, cracking his neck as he made a 'come at me' gesture to the Grimm which let out a squeal and charged him. The speed though was nothing compared to a bludgers and with his reverse aura enhanced reflexes it was almost too easy to avoid the weak Grimm's attack…although the yawn may have been slightly overkill.

"Oh ho," Port called out gleefully "it would seem this isn't much of a challenge for you…let's fix that." With that Port called up four more boarbatusk as they move to surround him in a five point position.

"Wow," he said still sounding bored but his eyes were sharp and calculating "I may have to actually put in a bit of effort…may." He didn't move, staring down the five monsters who remained as frozen as he was. Nobody even dared to breath until one of the Grimm snapped and rolled into a ball, shooting at him at a rapid speed, the others following suit.

Timing their speed he waited until the last moment, ignoring the terrified screams from some of his classmates, before leaping skywards, the five Grimm colliding with each other hard enough to shake the building. Flipping in the air he brought out his silver flames, ignoring the pain of his skin burning from the fire that hurt even him, before focusing it down towards the five dazed Grimm, turning them all to Ash in a moment. Moving quickly he picked up his jacket and used a flash of black flames on his hands when they were in the sleeves to heal them where nobody could see the effect.

"Incredible," Port exclaimed as most of his class cheered "it would seem we truly are in the presence of a master huntsman in training. Tell me, those flames are a result of your…other form?"

"Yeah." He nodded, rolling his shoulders as he took his seat "My dragon form semblance has a few special additions. It enhances my strength even when I'm not draconic and I can use both fires in either form but it's easier as a dragon."

"Both fires?" Port asked confused.

"I have two." He explained "The Silver one you just saw which burns anything without a soul but heals anything with one. The other flames are reversed, they're pitch black and heal those without souls but burn those with them."

"Incredible." Port said eagerly, "I look forward to seeing how you progress with not only such a powerful semblance but your weapon when you get one. I'm afraid I have nothing else for you today as I had expected to have five fights so you may all leave early. Be sure to cover the assigned readings and stay vigilant. Class dismissed."

The second the man released them Weiss stormed out in a huff, Ruby following looking like a kicked puppy. Deciding that it would be best to make sure things didn't get out of control he followed unseen. "Weiss!" Ruby called out once the silver eyed scythe wielder caught up with the heiress.

"What?" the white themed girl snapped, glaring scornfully at Ruby.

"What's wrong with you?" Ruby demanded "Why are you being-"

"What's wrong with me?!" Weiss snarled "What's wrong with you?! You go about goofing off in class and following that overgrown oaf that calls himself our leader when you shouldn't even be here! You call yourself a leader, a second in command, but all you've been is a nuisance!"

"What did I do?" Ruby demanded and he could tell she was starting to get angry as well.

"That's just it!" Weiss exclaimed "You've done nothing! Nothing to deserve your title or even a place at this academy! You acted like a child back in the forest and have only continued to do so!"

"What happened to all that talk in the forest," Ruby demanded "about working together and acting like a team?"

"Not a team led by you or that useless criminal wannabe." Weiss snarked "I've studied, and trained! Quite frankly I deserve better. Ozpin made a mistake when he put you and that scum in charge of this team."

"No," he spoke up coldly as he stepped out from around the corner, startling both girls "the only mistake he made was letting you into this academy. You want everything handed to you on a platter well guess what you pampered little brat, life doesn't work that way. You want a higher ranking then show that you're worthy of it. All I see is someone who cries like a toddler when they don't get the toy they want. I was chosen to lead this team because I've fought in war and I've led others into battle. I've seen my friends die alongside me in combat. Ruby was chosen as my second in command because she has the most potential out of the rest of the team to be a leader. You? I have a hard time ever even seeing you become a true huntress."

With that he turned and walked off, Ruby following after him. The lines on his team had been drawn and with Weiss and Blake they'd either shape up and move past the faults that held them back or they would crumble.
