You know, Living with the Xiao Longs is not as hard as I thought it would be. The past few months have been a very… interesting months to say the least and it got me a few answers to some of my unanswered questions. First things first, I figured out that I am fifteen years old! I was wondering how old I would be in the timeline and I quickly got my answer with help from the system! Second question I had! When the hell in the time line was I? That question was answered simply as well. Yang at this time is 17 in a few months and Ruby is 15 in a few months so I am only a couple months before the time line. I have less than one year to train and grind. I hate grinding in video games…
Anyways, the first month flew by quickly. I finally got into training like an actual huntsman, with a bit of motivation from Yang and Tai, which their training made me want to die inside. A few days after we all got aquatinted and told Tai about me wanting to become a hunter he unlocked my aura. I remember a surge of energy pulsing through my veins. I felt like I could take on a million beowolves at that moment. But then I met a force that punched me out of my rush. A force that I would learn to fear the rest of my days. The force by the name of Yang Xiao Long.
It was a warm spring morning when I woke up. The air was cool and nice and the birds just began to sing. A perfect day for sleeping in with no responsibilities at all! I got all snug in my bed, and began to have nice dreams. Not gonna lie, the only reason I don't have nightmares is because Zwei helps me sleep. He is adorable!
Anyways, as I began to sleep, my fox ears heard a slight noise. The door started to slowly open but I didn't pay much attention to it. I was to focused trying to get to dreamland to worry about someone opening the door. I heard a few footsteps and a small laugh before I realized something. YANG WAKES UP BEFORE ME!
A large bucket of water was dumped on my head as I began to flail around, collapsing in the floor. I wiped the water off of my face and looked around frantically. "What!? Who!? Why!?" I exclaimed, looking for the brawler.
Sure enough, standing there, laughing her ass off, was Yang. I stood up and looked to Yang. Yang was a lot taller than me, being that I was only 5'3". Seriously! Why was I reincarnated to be so short! I looked at the blonde and rolled my eyes. "Oh ha ha, Very Funny." I said sarcastically. Yang smirked proudly and laughed. "Oh come on Robin! It wasn't that bad. A little water never hurt anyone." She said as she threw me the bucket. "Come on! Now that your aura has been unlocked, you are now gonna be my new training buddy!" The blonde said as she left the room.
I sat there and blinked. No quests had popped up in a few days and just running to find Grimm was a death wish so… sticking with training for now was the best option. I sprang up and got dressed, putting on my tunic and shirt and began to walk out to find Yang. I…. didn't want to train with Yang. She is powerful beyond belief. I used observe on Yang as I began to walk to the back yard, slightly scared at what I got myself into
[Name: Yang Xiao Long]
[LV: 15]
[Species: Human]
[Title: Yellow Sun Dragon]
[HP: 253]

[END: 27]
Oh good lord…. I'm gonna die today. Not by some grim or saving someone again, by Yang Xiao FUCKING Long! Look at her stats! She is thirteen levels above me! That's not fair! That's not fair at all! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
"Hey Robbie? You alright? You look scared." She said, already stretching. God damn right I'm scared! She is way over my level! I can't even dream to beat her! I sighed and began to do my stretches beside Yang. It was still pretty early in the morning so I was still pretty tired. Half of me just wanted to stay inside and sleep but knowing Yang she would have just dragged me out back here.
"Alright Robbie! You are about to go through the most difficult training you have done in your life! Are you excited!?" She said with a large smile. I went to shake my head no but I was cut off by the blonde brawler. "Good! We will start you off easy since you haven't really done much training."
Yang is a lair. What we did to start off was probably the most exhausting exercise I have ever done. Even though my Endurance stat wasn't that bad. We started off with a mile run, which I know to some people isn't much but to a out of shape nerd, I wasn't used to running that much so running for a mile was weird. Anyways, after the mile run she pulled a whistle out of no where and began to tell me to do push-ups while her sitting on my back, sit-ups and curl-ups, and everything else that made my life a loving hell that day.
About two hours after we started, I felt like I was gonna throw up. My arms, legs, and chest was burning and it felt like my lungs were trying to murder me. Yang stood over me as I rested on the ground, sighing slightly. "We have a lot to work on." She said simply as Zwei and Ruby walked out of the house and saw me laying on the ground.
"Yang you killed him!" Ruby exclaimed as Zwei waddled over and licked my face. I slowly raised my head up and looked at the Corgi. "Hey Buddy…" I said, scratching behind his ears. Zwei perked up as Yang rolled her eyes. "See! He's alright! We have to train more if he's gonna get on par with me and you, Rubes."
After that, me and Yang started to train daily. The thing is; leveling up with the gamer ability is so difficult! And even when I do level up, specific stats increase on what I have done! So if I wanted to get my charisma up, not only would I have to train but I would have to do a lot of social encounters to increase my charisma by a somewhat large margin. After a month of training with Yang I reached level 5. My stat increase was actually decent but nowhere near that of Yang's and Ruby's.
[Name]: Robin Redwood

[Title]: None
[Level]: 5
[Dependent Stats]
HP: 100/100
STR: 11
END: 16
VIT: 15

INT: 7
WIS: 17
LUK: 14
CSM: 19
[Skill Points]: 0
I had been using all the skill points I get from leveling up but I was nowhere near ready to be a huntsman. I then had to figure out the next little thing I had to do beside train my body. Train with a weapon. Now I already have Bow Proficiency and Light Weapon Proficiency, which I had been leveling up slightly since I got the two skills.
[Sniper: LV 3]
The Gamer can increase damage and accuracy of all hits you make with a bow. If you get a critical hit than the arrow can hit another target in a straight line from the target.
[Light Weapon Proficiency: LV 2]
The Gamer is able to use light weapons such as Daggers, Shortswords, and Rapiers
Sniper is gonna be incredibly useful with Shadow Stealth. Plus Faunus night vision can let me be a total nightmare in the dark. But first, I had to get some sort of weapon. And I knew exactly who to go to. She had been asking me since I said that I needed help becoming a huntsman. Time to ask her finally. Near the beginning of the second month, right after training, I went to find Ruby Rose.
Ruby was in her room, working on her giant scythe like she did every day. Seriously, the girl spends at least five hours every day just cleaning her weapon. It wasn't even dirty! She'll clean it, leave it there for a day, and clean it again! This girl has some sort of weapon kink or something!
Anyways, I knocked on Ruby's door and waited on the outside. "Ruby! Are you there? I would like to ask if you would want to make me a weapon?" I called out as I waited. I heard some stumbling around and the door swung open as a whirlwind of rose petals zipped out of the door before revealing Ruby. "Really!? I can make you a weapon!?" She exclaimed excitedly. I responded with a nod and she zoomed back into the room. "Where are my tools!?" I heard some clanging as things were being moved around.
Ruby came zipping back out of the room, having her tools and all her stuff ready. She looked at me with a gigantic smile as she pointed forward. "To the forge! Onward!" She began to run to the forge. I stood there, somewhat awestruck from the amount of energy this one girl has. I sighed and began to jog after her.
We walked for about thirty minutes before arriving at a workshop. The workshop was small but it had all the stuff you need to make a weapon. She set her toolbox down and turned to me. "So! What kind of weapon do you want? Oh! How about a Greataxe that turns into a Tommy gun! Or an AR Rifle that turns into a sniper! Come on pick one! I'm so excited!" The young huntress in training asked me, bouncing up and down. I gave a small laugh and nodded.
"Alright. I have been thinking about it and anything that can mix with a Bow and Arrow would be awesome!" I said as Ruby's face lit up like a Christmas tree. She began to pace, brewing up ideas in that small head of hers. She immediately turned to me and grinned. "How about a Bow that can split into two shortswords! They won't be too heavy and when combined can extend and curve a bit to make the longbow!" I gave a large smile at the idea. This was perfect! It went great with my skills that I currently had and I kinda know how to use a bow.
This family had been so kind to me. Giving me shelter, training me, making me a weapon. I wondered why they did it. Did Qrow tell them about my situation? Did they just do it out of the kindness of their hearts? Why are they helping me…?
A snapping finger in front of my face pulled me out of my thoughts. "Hello? Robin? Remnant to Robin! Are you alright?" Ruby asked me. I blinked and nodded. "Y-Yeah. I am ok." I said with a nod. She slowly nodded, then looked at the parts of the weapon that she laid out. "You wanna help me? I am making your weapon after all."
Oh right.
I nodded and stood beside the huntress in training. We spent a day and a half in that workshop, me helping Ruby with anything and Ruby working non-stop on this weapon. This was actually the longest interaction with someone that I've had in this world…. I got to learn about Ruby. What she liked, why she wanted to become a huntress, why she spends so much on Crescent Rose… ok I didn't get an answer from her on that one but I'm telling you it's a weapon kink!
Ruby also asked questions about me. Where was I born and why did I want to become a hunter. I paused for a moment. My goal is to prevent Volume 3 from happening….. if I can do anything I just have to save as many people as I can and basically stop Cinder in every moment in Volume 2. I don't want to kill her though…. That might make things worse.
I sighed and smiled to Ruby. "I want to protect the people who need protection." I said simply. Ruby gave a bright smile and nodded. "That's what Huntsman do! I promise that will protect everyone we can!" Ruby said with a grin. I looked down at her and smiled widely.
This girl…. Ruby Rose….. I need to strive to be like her.
Not long after we had that conversation, Ruby held up two shortswords. The handle of the swords were a dark black mixed with a light red. The blade of the weapon was a shiny silver looking color with tiny parts of the blade divided by lines so it could curve and extend in its bow form. I looked at the weapon in admiration and held it up. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH THIS IS AWESOME!"
Ruby bounced up in down in excitement before looking at me with a grin. "What are you gonna name it!?" A name….. shit I haven't thought of a name. I ran my hands across the blade and thought to myself. Then a small name jumped into my head. "Hunter's Mark."
Ruby raised an eyebrow at the name. But I understood the name. The name is meaning my goal or "mark" as a hunter is to prevent the Fall of Beacon. I ran to the wall where a quiver of arrows were there. "Can I take these?" Ruby nodded and smiled. "They are free to take. I think there is some dust arrows in there as well." I nodded and slung the quiver on my back. "Perfect!"
Me and Ruby walked back to the Xiao Long house, a new excitement boiling up inside me. Now I just gotta think of how I'm gonna get into Beacon. That shouldn't be a problem…
Right?
Three chapters in three days! That has to be some sort of record. Right? Probably not but still! I want to think all of you have followed and favorited! This is my first story and it is going really well so far! I might take a few days break because I don't think I can keep this one chapter a day thing going. Also, thanks for answering my question! You'll see what team Robin is put on in the near future!
Alby199800: I would love to try and work your character in the story if I am able to! This is not a definite but a maybe!
Sword'sfunPen'sbetter8P: I'm thinking of the team I am gonna put him on and thanks to all of your reviews I have a small idea of what I'm gonna do.
Xenozip: Trust me. Robin will most definitely be on a Canon Team.
Ivan Tridelan: I agree with you 10,000 percent. I personally do not like Jaune's character. He was meh in Volume 1-3 but I do not like his character. And thanks for the Team Names!
leopard23jose: Yeah. I can barely keep up with one OC. Let alone three.
Welp! That'll do it for this chapter! Robin hung out with Yang and Ruby, finally got his weapon, and is only a few months away from Beacon academy. The next chapter will start off the Beacon Academy arc (Take a guess on what it's about) And since I am slightly unoriginal you probably will know how he is gonna get in beacon. I have a LOT of ideas planned though. Ciao!
