Greetings! Just because I want too I'm gonna have the reviews at the start of this chapter because reasons! Now sit back, relax, and enjoy this strange story that I write for some reason.
Arclight001: Thank you for the suggestion! I'll try it out this chapter to see how good I am at writing different characters. This is either gonna go really good or really bad. But anyways, thank you so much! Hope you stick around for more!
Scurra71900: You're welcome!
GImo11: He does. I thought I made it clear. If you can PM me the quote I'll try to fix my mistake!
Bloodhunter101: Thank you! And actually Hunter's Mark is a reference to a D&D Spell that Rangers have! I have actually yet to play Bloodborne
CraazyReader: Thank you for sticking with the story so far! The story is gonna have some bits and pieces that aren't in the main story, mainly in between the time skips of the volumes. I hope to give him enough so he isn't incredibly underpowered but not op as all hell.
Grim Riper: Ok! Here we go. I try to make him different than Jaune but they do share some things but I believe Jaune would have horrible charisma and Robin can fight and has some training and he will have more development throughout the story. It took him 8 months to get him to level 12 because he had no quests in the span of that time, having to only fight Yang and smaller Grimm that were on the Island. It was also a way to keep him from being OP. Robin isn't going to kill people because most sane people don't just murder everyone. The nightmares come from the death of his mom and not being able to save her. Sure I've messed up the Gamers Mind but who cares! I like giving my characters something to fear! I'll delete it because you do have a point but please word your stuff differently because bashing my story doesn't feel like constructive criticism, it just feels like you are bashing it. If you don't like it, don't read it.
Please, if you don't like my character or my story please don't put it like Grim Riper because that's what makes people who are just starting writing stop. I have nothing against him but this just left a sour taste in my mouth.
Anyways, on with the chapter!
(Ruby's P.O.V)
My eyes shot open as the light from the sun peered through the blinds. First day of becoming a huntress! So much has happened in the last few days. Me and Robin stopped a robbery, got accepted to beacon, we were flung off a cliff, Robin almost DIED which was a terrifying few moments, and now I'm on a team with my sister.
It's crazy to think that all of this had happened in under a week.
I rose up from my bed and looked around, rubbing the tiredness out of my eyes as I rolled out of bed. I went to turn to Yang but she was still asleep… probably don't want to wake her up right now. I tapped my chin, thinking on what to do. Well maybe I can check if all my stuff is with me.
I rolled under my bed and grabbed the duffel bag from underneath my bed. I unzipped it and looked through everything.
"Combat Gear. Check."
"Red Hair dye. Check."
"Extra dust bullets. Check."
"Idiots guide to talking to people….. Check." I said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
How do Yang and Robin talk to random people so easily? I've always been bad talking to people, I just don't know what to say! And now I'm leader….
Oh well! I'm just gonna have to swallow my fear and do my best. I quickly put the book back into my bag and looked at my scroll. It was 7:25… I got a good amount of time to do things! I tossed my scroll to the bed and activated my semblance, zooming to the shower while leaving a trail of rose petals….. dang I have to clean those up after…
I quickly took a shower, changed into my uniform, put on my lucky cloak, got some Pumpkin Pete's cereal, which are delicious by the way, swept up the petals that I had scattered everywhere, jumped on the bed in boredom, did a check up on my precious baby Crescent Rose, jumped on the bed some more, and finally Yang and Blake started to wake.
I rushed over to my sister and shook her by the shoulders. "Yang! It's the first day of school! Aren't you excited!?"
"Meeeehh…. What time is it?" Yang said, looking at her scroll tiredly. When she saw the time she gave a yawn and began laying back down. I grabbed Yang by the shoulders.
"Oh no you don't!" I exclaimed as I grabbed Yang and began to drag her out of the bed. Blake hopped out of her bed and began to grab her stuff, not muttering a word. She's so quiet… maybe I can get her to open up soon enough.
Yang reluctantly rolled out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, going to change. Yang has never been a morning person. After a bit Yang and Blake got done with there separate showers and changing into their uniforms.
"So! What are we gonna do about the Ice Queen?" Yang asked, pointing to the still sleeping Weiss. Blake yawned and grabbed her suitcase as I turned to Weiss.
"I have just the idea."
I raced to my bag and grabbed my whistle…
(Robin's P.O.V)
I groaned as I rolled out of the bed and rubbed my eyes. Whenever I find Ruby I swear I'm gonna… well I don't know what I'm gonna do but I will do something! Hopefully this doesn't happen repeatedly. I gave a yawn as Nora climbed back onto her feet and looked around.
"What in the world was THAT!?" She exclaimed as Ren hopped out of his own bed and walked to Nora, helping her up.
"Probably Ruby." I responded I moved my arm around to see if it was ok. It's sore as all hell but it's ok. I looked to my team. I gave a small smile as Pyrrha got out of her bed and rubbed her eyes.
"Good morning Team RRNN!" I said with a slight boost of enthusiasm as I stretched, my bones popping a few times as I did. Nora looked at me with the biggest smile and began jumping on her bed.
"Alright! What are we gonna do first!? Beat up some Grimm? Workouts? Super awesome team attacks!?" She asked excitedly. I laughed and shook my head.
"I believe we will have to do all those later. First we all need to get ready and then I think classes are up so we should get a handle on that first." I said as I picked up the school uniform and rushed to the bathroom.
I began to change into my uniform as the smell of food wafted into the air. I blinked in confusion before finally realizing what the food was… Pancakes.
I rushed to put on my uniform and stepped out of the bathroom to see Ren in the kitchen making pancakes, Nora watering from the mouth, and Pyrrha watching the two as she gently hummed a tune. I chuckled as I walked over and sat beside Pyrrha.
"You can cook Ren?" I asked, already knowing the answer but asked it just to start a conversation. Ren looked back at me and gave a nod with a small smile.
"Yes I can. I've learned how to make various dishes but I make Pancakes the best. Or at least that's what Nora believes." Said Orange Haired girl was eyeing the pancakes hungrily.
"Well it smells delicious." I said with a grin as Pyrrha looked at my currently bandaged arm. "Is your arm alright?" She asked with slight worry. I gave a nod and smiled as I relaxed my arm.
"Yeah. Just really sore. I believe I'll be fine though." I said with a smile. She gave a nod and stood up to go change. I closed my eyes and sighed as I laid back on the bed.
Relieve me of this burden….. my mind still was racing about that dream. If that was Salem then when did she get the ability to go into another persons dreams? It wasn't ever shown in the canon. Or at least what I got to see of the canon. And if it's a new thing that she got because I arrived here then that throws a whole bunch of different factors that I haven't even thought of yet. Someone could die because of my arrival and that could lead to more and more deaths.
I rubbed my face with my hands as my brain decided to think on what the worst could happen. I sighed as I blanked out for a while, just staying in my thoughts as I looked at my arm. I closed my eyes and hid in my thoughts before I felt a tap on my shoulder. I blinked and looked around at whoever poked me.
Nora, who was now in her uniform and gulping down pancakes looked at me. "Itsh done." She said with a mouthful of food. I gave a laugh and grabbed one of the plates Ren had set out and sat on my bed, Pyrrha and Ren already done the same. I took a bite of the pancakes and…..
Oh my god these are the best pancakes I've ever had…
"These are amazing…" I said with wide eyes. I began to rapidly eat the pancakes as Nora looked at Ren.
"I told you!" She exclaimed as Ren gave a small laugh and shook his head. After I finished the pancakes rather quickly I put the plate in the sink and flopped back onto the bed. "Ok! First order of business! Classes…. Crap." I said with a groan as Pyrrha gave a small laugh.
"Ok! So it looks like we have Grimm studies at nin-"
"ITS 8:55 YOU DUNCE!" I heard the earpeircing voice of the one and only Weiss Schnee scream through the walls.
"New plan! Run to class!"
All of team RRNN sprang up and began to dash out the door. I collided with Ruby on my way out and shook my head. "Morning Rubes!" I said with a laugh as I bounced up and ran with my team to the class. I was faster than most of my team. I could keep up with Ren and Nora, and Pyrrha wasn't that far ahead of me but she was faster.
We raced through the courtyard, Ozpin and Goodwitch watched from the side as we bolted to make it on time. We made it to the main building and piled through the door of the classroom. Port looked at the sight of us and welcomed us with a smile.
"Hello children! Glad to see you made it!"
Yaaaaaaay
When they said that Port's class was boring…. It was FREAKING BORING! I had my head rested on some text books EXTREMELY close to passing out.
He began to go on a speech about how he was a young man and how he took down an Ursa that was terrorizing his village. It sounds like an interesting premise but dear LORD ITS SO BORING! I began to stare off into space, pass random notes to Nora and Ruby, look at my stats… repeatedly, and pinch myself to keep myself awake.
This is gonna be a loooooong-
"In the end, the Beowulf was no match for my sheer tenacity and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high, celebrated as a hero!" He then turns to us. "The moral of the story? A true huntsman is honorable, dependable, well-educated and wise!" As he said that, I could see Weiss was getting annoyed that Ruby was not acting like anything the professor was saying, especially when she is here, paying attention to the professor. "Is there someone among you who believes to be the embodiment of these traits?" Prof. Port asked.
Weiss's hand shot up like a rocket. "I do sir!"
I lazily rose my hand and gave a smirk to Weiss. "I like to think I do."
Weiss looked at me with the BIGGEST death glare as Port stroked his mustache. He hummed lightly and nodded.
"Excellent! Two volunteers! Come forth to show us what you got!" Port says as he moves away, showing a cage that was probably holding a Boarbatusk. The cage shook and rattled as me and Weiss looked at eachother. Why I did this? I have NO clue. Probably to make the Ice Queen mad? I don't really know.
In a matter of minutes me and Weiss changed into our combat gear and stared down the cage.
"Come on Robin! You got this in the BAAAAAG!" I heard Nora exclaim from her seat as Pyrrha and Ren cheered me on as well.
Team RWBY cheered for Weiss but it just got her more infuriated. I looked to Weiss and put Hunter's Mark into its bow version.
"Ok! Plan time. You keep the Grimm at bay with close range and I'll shoot it from long range. I'll run in if things get dicey." I said, trying to make a game plan.
"I don't need your help." Weiss said bitterly.
"Ready? Begin!" Port said as he lifted the door of the cage and the boar Grimm rushed out.
It charged both of us as me and Weiss spun out of the way.
"Olè!" I heard Nora exclaim.
The boar began to circle back, charging the Heiress with fury in it's masked face.
"Hang in there Weiss!" Ruby yelled as Weiss was hit into the air and her rapier got locked between the tusks of the boar. I took this time to knock an arrow and fire at the boar.
[10 damage + 5 Ice dust damage]
The arrow pinged off the bone armor of the boar but the ice dust froze a spot on the armor. "Weiss! When you're done playing tug of war go for the ice spot!"
"Come on Weiss! Show them who's boss!" Ruby exclaimed.
Weiss looked at me then Ruby with a glare. The boar then got the upper hand, throwing the rapier out of her hand and nailing Weiss in the gut, launching her back a few feet.
I gave a groan as I ran forward, turning Hunter's Mark into its shortswords and went to stab the beast in the eye repeatedly with no plan at all.
[10 damage]
DAMN IT!
The beast knocked me back and began to charge again. Shitshitshitshitshitshit! I rolled out of the way barely as the boar nailed the wall, falling onto its back.
"Olè!"
"Guys! Go for its belly it has no-"
"STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!" The heiress yelled as the boar got right side up and did the sonic spin dash towards the two of us. I prepared to knock an arrow but Weiss placed a glyph in front of us. The boar bonked off the glyph, falling to its back. Weiss sprang up and used a glyph to torpedo herself into the boar, rapier first.
The boar squealed in pain as it began to fade into black dust.
"Fuck you Pumba." I said with a sigh as I put my weapon up. Port gave a clap to the two of us.
"Marvelous work you two! It seems we do have some fine hunters with us today." Port said. Weiss was panting and I stretched, popping some bones in the process. "That is all the time we have for today. Class is dismissed."
I went to shake Weiss's hand but she turned her back to me and stormed out. Well then….
(Weiss P.O.V)
Those insufferable children! How did those two become team leader and I didn't. One acts like a child and the other doesn't even know what he is doing half the time! It makes me furious!
I was the first to leave the class as I sheathed my rapier and stomped out of the class. I got not even five minutes of peace before our "leader" caught up with me.
Weiss!" She calls for her.
I turned around to face Ruby and just…. snapped. "What!?"
Ruby had a worried look on her face. "What's wrong with you? Why are you being-?"
"What's wrong with me?! What's wrong with you?!" I interrupted her. "You're supposed to be a leader and all you've been so far is a nuisance!"
"W-What did I do?" Ruby was most likely clueless.
"That's just it! You've done nothing to earn your position! Back in the forest, you acted like a child, and you've only continued to do so!" I shouted at her.
Ruby looked at me with wide eyes. "What do you mean Weiss!? I thought we were getting along!"
"Well, I wouldn't be so childish if you stop treating me like a child!" I shouted.
"I'm only treating you to how you deserve to be treated! I'm not to be in a team led by you! I've studied and trained and quite frankly, I think I deserve better!" I scowled before I turned her back at her. "Ozpin made a mistake making you a leader!"
I'm done with that child! I am going to tell Professor Ozpin that I want a new team!
After yelling what I truly felt, I was on the school rooftop, trying to take her mind off everything. Just then, Professor Port arrived, looking at me. "Professor Port!"
"Ah, Ms. Schnee!" The portly instructor greeted jubilantly. "To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"
"I…I enjoyed your lecture." I said to him, hoping to keep on the good sides of the teacher.
"Well of course you did, dear girl, you have the blood of a true Huntress running through your veins after all."
"You think so?" I asked happily. He must understand what I'm going through!
"Absolutely! As well as Mr. Redwood!" Ah….. Robin. That name just infuriates me!
"Something seems to be troubling you, dear?" Professor Port noted.
"Y-yes, sir." I responded somewhat nervously.
"Well don't be shy, dear girl. Confess to me your strife." The Professor said with reassuring smile. Ok Weiss… he will definitely understand.
"Is just that…I feel that I should have been the leader of team RWBY." I confessed to him, earning a hummed sound from the teacher. "I have been trained all my life to be a great leader. To make others rely on me as I lead them to success. My...partner is young, way young to be capable of holding that position. Today in class, she wasn't acting like one! Leaders should be serious, capable, and take any information they can to survive! And Ruby just...goof around like an idiot!" I was furious that my mind keeps repeating those images. "It just...makes me mad. And not to mention Robin barely stayed awake and barely made it out of the forest and he is leader of his team!"
There was a moment of uncomfortable silence before Professor Port answered back, "I see...I believe I understand the problem." He said calmly to her.
"You do?" Yes! He understands what I'm going through! Maybe he can tell Ozp-
"Of course…" The Professor looks at me with a serious expression. "The problem lies within you, Miss Schnee."
…
...
…
"Excuse me?" I said in shock.
"True, Miss Rose was acting a bit childish, given her age. And Mr. Redwood doesn't seem to be the… brightest man alive." The old veteran looks at the sky, still porting a serious look.
"W-Well…Y-Yeah-" I tried to speak but was interrupted.
"But you see my dear, in all my years in both teacher and colleague, I have the pleasure of knowing Ozpin, and I am proud to say that never once has the man lead me astray!" Port said with a lot of confidence. "For you see, he can see hidden potential in others."
I was left without words before feeling a small bit of anger at the words of Port. "So you'd blindly accept the decision he made even after seeing how exceptionally skilled I am?"
"As a matter of fact. I am." Port turns to me, seeing my taken back expression. "With all due respect, Ms. Schnee, your exceptional skill on the battlefield is almost completely undercut by your rather poor attitude." Prof. Port says
"How dare-?!"
"Tell me, Miss Schnee. During the Initiation Exam, what did you do?" Port asked her an important question.
"What did I do?" I looked at him as if he had a second head. "Well, I fought Grimms! I saved my partner from certain doom! I completed the test!"
"That's correct." Port nods at everything I just said. "You did all that...but not a single one of them qualifies you as a leader." I felt like she got smacked in the face. This wasn't fair!? "Tell me, dear, did you come up with a plan to kill the Nevermore? Or turn your back on safety to save two other teammates from a threat that would most definitely would end up in a loss?"
"Ms. Rose showed wits and intelligence in that battle and Mr. Redwood risked his own arm to save someone he didn't know. When you were lost in the forest, you were very stubborn in admitting that you got yourself and your partner lost, and if my mind serves me right, you both began to blame each other for it."
"That's...well, um…" Well…. I couldn't deny that.
"You're only proving my point, dear." Professor Port sighed out. "No offense. While you do have the blood of a Huntress, your bluster and skills are those of a spoiled girl that receives everything she ever wanted." Port says.
I crossed her arms and raised her nose in defiance. "That is not even close to the truth!" I denied with a glare
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Well…not entirely true." I slowly admitted, looking down to the ground.
"Word of advice my dear." The teacher began to walk away. "A leader is prepared, that much you are right, but they also put their comrades first before anything...Today was simply the first day. At least judge Miss Rose and Mr. Redwood after you get to know them very well."
And with that… he left. I looked down to the setting sun, sighing as I sat down. I have a lot to think about….
(Robin P.O.V)
After the class and Weiss stormed out I raced to find Ruby. Who knows what could have went down and as her best friend I wanna make her feel better. I raced through the halls until I found Ruby talking to Ozpin.
I went to interject but I believe that wouldn't be best. She looked like she was understanding what he saying, and a small smile spread across her face. Ruby gave a nod to the teacher and glanced at my direction. She thanked Ozpin and rushed over to me.
"Hey Robin!" She said in her usual upbeat self. Well she seems fine.
"Heya Rubes. Are…. Are you ok after what happened with snowflake?" I asked, Ruby giving a small chuckle at the nickname.
"Yeah. I'm fine! I had a talk with Ozpin. I gotta talk to Weiss later." She said, beginning to walk beside me. I sighed and patted her head.
"That's great Ruby. Glad you aren't sad. I hate to see you sad. Now! Let's go get dinner!" I said, a happy smile spreading across both of our faces.
I worry to much.
With a sigh I turned my back and walked to join my team at dinner. Pyrrha was talking with Yang, Nora was throwing grapes up in the air and catching them in her mouth, and Ren and Blake were talking about a book.
I walked up to the table and sat beside my partner. I gave her a happy smile and a thumbs up. "Heya Pyrrha!"
"Hello Robin. You did wonderful against that Grimm." She responded. I didn't do much, Weiss killed it but I'm not one to take down a compliment.
"Yeah! That was great!" Nora spoke up as a grape she through up bounced off her head. I gave a laugh and a warm smile. "Thank you guys. I didn't do much but thank you nonetheless."
My smile was interrupted by Yang putting me and Rubes in a headlock. "Look at you two! Two leaders and of their own teams! Aww, I feel like a proud mom. We should celebrate our acceptance into beacon!"
I rolled my eyes at Yang's antics. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I actually agree with Yang. We should do a party or something whenever we get the chance."
"Ooooooh! I like that idea!" Ruby and Nora said together.
"That sounds lovely." Pyrrha said as she pulled me out of Yang's grasp. Ren and Blake just gave a simple nod.
"Invite Snowball why don't ya." I said with a laugh as Yang gave a nod.
"Will do Robbie!"
The rest of the dinner went into the dark of the night, eventually our group going to their respective dorms. My team walked into our room, got changed, and sat around for a moment. Pyrrha doing her hair as Nora started to jump on the bed. After a few minutes or so, We all got tired out and laid in our bed as sleep began to take us.
"Good night Team RRNN…" I said with a warm smile.
And thats the chapter! Hope you guys enjoyed! Ciao!
