This school can be summed up in one word. Chaotic.
Literally there is no time to breathe! In one class we learn about the things that are trying to kill us. In a different one we learn about a war between Faunus and Humans, which then goes into a topic about racial views and other things. Then we learn about Science! Which is not so bad but it's the Science about Dust, which goes into how it works with weapons. Then we have lunch which is pretty nice in my opinion.
Then we go into the most chaotic time of the day. Combat class.
This is LITERALLY a class where people grab weapons that have the power to kill Giant monsters of darkness and use them against fellow teenagers. And while some people have a giant great sword or a Hammer that turns into a Rocket Launcher, I am a Foxed eared man… with a Bow and Arrow.
But! There is an upside!
Number one is that it's a great way to get training in without the risk of death! Not dying is always a good thing! Number two is that it is great for making strategy! My Intelligence may be god awful but my wisdom is good! Intelligence and Wisdom go hand in hand, so I am somewhat good at making strategy! My team helps me sometimes with the Intelligence part of the plans.
And thus we go to where we are now. Combat Class.
The lights shown down upon the arena as the two fighters began to clash. Watching this in my opinion is better than actually going down there and fighting. And some of these matches can be extremely entertaining to watch.
Ruby was currently in the arena against that one dude from Team CRDL who's name I can't remember. The thing about Ruby is that she is extremely quick but hits like a GOD DAMN TRUCK! Her attacks do so much damage for such a small person! The one dude from CRDL just couldn't keep up.
He tried to rush to Ruby at the beginning of the match but she scattered into Petal form and zoomed behind him, starting a rush of attacks. He tried to get some distance but Ruby just switched to Sniper Mode and shot at him. He wasn't able to block the shots and was knocked back a bit as Ruby took this time to zoom towards again, this time in scythe mode, swinging at him multiple times before he just collapsed.
"The winner is Ms. Rose." Goodwitch said as Ruby popped up and smiled, folding her scythe in it's inactive mode and began to skip up the stairs back up to where we were. I held my hand out and High Fived the Sycthe-Weilder.
You know, if you don't get called in this class it's really easy to just go to sleep. Which is what I'm gonna do right now. I laid back, crossed my arms, closed my eyes, and drifted of to slee-
"The next fight will be Mr. Redwood vs…"
Oh COME ON. I rose up from my seat and shook my head. I looked at Goodwitch and yawned. Ok, so who am I fighting? I read some fanfics back on earth like my predicament and mostly it's the MC vs. Cardin. I would so love to shoot some arrows in the thick skull of his-
"Ms. Belladonna."
OH YOU SON OF-
Blake put her book down and with a sigh and began to walk to the arena. Blake took out Gambol Shroud which was on her back and waited for me in the arena. Ok, not gonna lie. Blake's fighting style is the least one I know about.
With a tired sigh I hopped up from my seat and walked down to the arena, switching my swords into the bow form. I walked into the arena and looked at Blake.
"Observe." I whispered quietly.
[Name: Blake Belladonna]
[LV: 16]
[Species: Faunus (Cat)]
[Title: White Fang Runaway]
[HP: 243]
[AGI: 37]
[DEX: 35]
Hmmm….. alright then.
"Hey Blake! Finally get to finish the conversation from the other day." I said with a small smile as I took a stance.
"You really think the arena is the best place to have a conversation?" She asked, taking a stance with her weapon in its Gun mode.
I gave a laugh and knocked an arrow. "Nope!"
Goodwitch looked between us and gave a nod. "Ready? Begin!"
As soon as those words were uttered I started running the opposite direction of Blake, trying to get as much distance as I could. Turning my back against my opponent wasn't the brightest idea as multiple bullets whizzed by my head, almost nailing me but not quite.
"Your aim sucks!" I exclaimed as I turned around, knocking an arrow and shooting a fire dust arrow straight at Blake. She dodged it and turned Gambol Shroud into its sword mode, running to get in close combat.
With a worried look I took my bow and turned it into shortswords, dashing to meet with Blake. She gave a swing which I surprisingly was able to parry and tried to counter with my own attack but Blake blocked both of the swords with the sword and the sheath.
I went to pull back but Blake put a boot to my chest and kicked me back. I stumbled back and fell on my butt as Blake turned her weapon into its gun form. She began shooting at my chest, multiple bullets nailing me in the chest.
[-12 HP]
[-15*2 Crit!]
Ok! OW!
I did a kip-up back to my feet and looked at my opponent. I dashed in, dodging the bullets and as I got close I slid on the ground underneath her and popped up behind her, my weapon now in Bow form as I fired three arrows to the back of Blake.
"Snipe"
[17 damage + 10 Fire Dust Damage]
[16 damage + 11 Fire Dust Damage]
[14 damage + 9 Fire Dust Damage]
Oh HELL YEAH! That's some good damage!
The arrow nailed her in the back, making her wince as she turned my direction and another Blake came shooting out towards me. I went to kick the charging Blake but the clone faded on impact.
Oh yeah…. Her sembl-
My thoughts were interrupted with a hard kick to my face and multiple slices to my chest.
[-12 HP]
[-21*2 Crit]
[-10 HP]
Ok! TIME TO RUN!
I stumbled back and began to run backwards away from Blake. I knocked an arrow and fired, which Blake LITERALLY cut in half. With a glare I pulled back my arrows again and fired two arrows, the first one wizzing by Blakes head and the other nailing her in the shoulder.
[13 damage]
Shit! Normal arrow! I looked past Blake as I saw the arrow that whizzed past her hair continue to fly. I put my hands up in the air, a slight smirk on my face. Blake looked at me in confusion.
"I…."
The arrow began to arc up, as if guided by some sort of wind and started to curve back, aimed for Blake. Her bow began to twitch as the she turned back, seeing the arrow coming straight towards her. With wide eyes she barely dodged the arrow as it cut of a bit of her hair.
I thought I had this match won but when Blake ducked out of the way the arrow nailed me in the chest.
[-13 HP]
"That's enough! The winner of this match is Miss Belladonna!"
"Did… DID I JUST HIT MYSELF WITH MY OWN ARROW!?" I exclaimed as I heard a few people in the crowd chuckle as Yang just broke with hysterical laughter. I sighed as my fox ears dropped, but a hand blocked my vision of the floor.
I looked up and saw Blake. She had a small smile on her face and her hand extended out to me. "You fought well. Even though the end went a tad bit unplanned."
I grasped her hand and rose to my feet, a small smirk spreading across my face. I shook the Faunus's hand and with sigh I walked up to my team. Pyrrha patted me on the back and gave a happy smile. "Even though you lost you did well. Lasted longer than most people do with her." I looked to her and gave a smile and a nod. "Thank you Pyrrha and I guess you're right."
The rest of the class was pretty uneventful. Pyrrha kicked some ass, Ren did ninja things, and Nora beat someone in under a minute.
Good thing these guys are on my team…
After an hour or so the class ended. We changed from our combat gear and back to our uniforms. Me and My Team walked to the cafeteria, Pyrrha walking beside me as Nora rushed ahead while Ren tried to make her slow down. I looked to my red haired partner and smiled. "So! The past few days have been very strange… haven't they?" I asked Pyrrha, trying to start a conversation.
"It really has. But I believe it's turned out for the better. Our team seems lovely and everyone here seems nice." Pyrrha said, but I could tell that she was thinking about something.
"Are you alright?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. She sighed and shook her head. "I'm alright! Trust me. Everything is fine." She said with a grin which I couldn't really tell if she was fake or not. I gave a sigh and nodded.
"Alright Pyrrha. But if anything is wrong, I want you to tell me. We are partners. Your problems are my problems too." I said with a grin. She gave a small nod and began to walk.
"Now! Let's catch up with the other too. Ren might need some help reigning Nora in." I said with a laugh as Pyrrha gave a nod as we sprinted towards the other two.
Dinner happened like it always happens. My team and Team RWBY would just sit at a table and talk about random things.
"So there were…. In the middle of the night." Nora began her story.
"It was day." Ren interrupted.
"We were surrounded by Ursi…" She continued.
"They were Beowolves."
"Also, wouldn't it be Ursa's? Ursi just doesn't sound right to me." I said, eating my food.
"Hey! Don't interrupt my story! Anyways! There were DOZENS OF THEM!"
"2 of them."
"But they were no match! And in the end we took them down, getting a boat load of lien from Ursa skin rugs!" She said, finishing her story.
"She's been having this recurring dream for a month now."
"There's a lot in that story that doesn't make sense." Blake said, slowly pulling down her book. I rested my chin in my palm and looked to the Cat Faunus in disguise.
"We live in a world with creatures of darkness and people who can go fast in a flurry of rose petals and that doesn't hold up?" I said with a small laugh as I looked to Blake. She had the smallest grin on her face as she went back to her book.
"I guess that's fair." She said with a shrug. She put her book down and looked at me. "By the way, how did that arrow curve back?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.
Nora barged in right after. "Oh yeah! I was wondering that too! It was so cool when the arrow came flying back at Blake! The ending was meh but the arrow was still cool!"
"It was pretty interesting to see. But Nora does have a point. The ending was meh…." Pyrrha said. I gave a small nod.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. I got beat by my own arrow. But if you guys really wanna know how the arrow curved…" I dug into my bag and pulled out a replica of the arrow.
"Basically, the arrow has wind dust in the arrow head. When given time the arrow activates the wind dust, it hits the grooves in the wooden part of the arrow, and comes circling back."
"Wow. And I thought you were dumb Robbie." Yang said with a small smirk.
"I am dumb. Ruby made this." I said, pointing to the Scythe Weilder who was currently chowing down on cookies. "Thanks Rubes." I said with a happy grin.
"You're welcome!" She said with a mouthful of cookies.
I gave a small laugh and looked down at my scroll. Bell was almost about to ring. I should probably leave soon. I was just about to pack up until….
A certain, Aussie accent caught my ears. "Ow! That hurts! Please stop!" I glanced over to see everyone's favorite bunny girl having her ears tugged pretty freaking hard.
"Ha! I told you they were real!" Cardin said with his sick grin while his team laughed.
"Tell me about it! What a freak!"
The more they laugh...the more we all hate these guys.
"Alrighty! I'm gonna be right back!" I said as I went out of my seat and B-lined it for the the table of Team CRDL. He continued to tug on her ears as I marched over to the table.
"Greetings Assholes." I said with a smile as Cardin looked my way with a glare. His face turned into a confident smirk as he stood up.
Now. I am not one to regret decisions but this man was about a head taller than me. Not to say that I am afraid of Cardin, but this man was a HEAD bigger than me. And I could probably take him if I had my weapon but I don't. So fuck my life apparently.
"Let her go." I said, standing my ground. Ok! Time to make a plan!
"And what are you going to do about it? Stab yourself with your own arrow?" He said, the rest of his group laughing behind him. He let go of Velvet's ears which I smiled about but then his hand rested on my ears.
Ok! One, FUCK NO! Two, OH HELL NAH!
"Now! I let go of the animals ears? You never said anything about yours." He said with a giant smirk as he twisted my ear, bringing a shock of pain through my body. I swallowed all fear and yelled out four words I will never forget.
"THIS IS SELF DEFENSE!" I reeled my leg back and punt kicked him straight between legs. His grip immediately loosened as he kneeled down. I looked with a small smirk as the bell started to ring.
"And now! I run!" I exclaimed as I bolted out of the cafeteria, leaving multiple confused faces as I bolted out the door.
I ran for about 10 minutes which was unneeded but better safe than sorry. I made it to the fountain of the courtyard and sat down, catching my breath. Was that the smartest idea? No. Was it fun? Kinda! Am I tired? Hell yes.
I leaned my head back and rested, closing my eyes as I did so.
Then I heard foot steps.
Shit! Why didn't I grab my bow! Or just go into the dorm!? WHY AM I SUCH AN IDIOT!?
"Robin? What are you doing here?" The familiar voice of Blake sounded as she peered over the fountain. I gave a sigh of relief as I popped up and looked at the Cat Faunus. I gave a small smirk as I looked up.
"Oh! Hey Blake! Just running. What about you?" I asked looking her up and down. I saw a book in her hand and raised my eyebrows. Ninjas of…
"OH MY GOD!" I said as I broke out in hysterical laughter. Blake's face turned crimson as she looked at me, trying to hide the book.
"Don't laugh!" She exclaimed, knocking me in the head with the book. It hurt but hey, it was funny. I eventually was able to stop my laughing and looked at the Faunus. "Sorry for laughing. Just wasn't expecting you to be reading that type of stuff. But I won't judge."
Of course I knew she read that stuff. But I needed to make her not hate me.
"Thank you Robin. Now, could you please leave?"
"Of course. Wouldn't want to bother you Kitty-"
….Shit.
It was like time froze. You could here the sound of a pin dropping it was so quiet. A cold gust of wind blew through the air as Blake looked at me with confusion.
"What did you just call me?"
"Ok! It was nice seeing you again! I'm gonna be on my wa- AAAAAAHHHHH!" I was interrupted by Blake tackling me to the ground. She grabbed me by the collar and glared. "How did you know!?" She exclaimed.
"You're bow!" I exclaimed, thinking of something other than 'Hey! I'm from a world where you are a cartoon!'
She blinked in confusion before slowly letting up. "What?"
"Your bow twitched when the arrow was circling back towards you. Meaning you heard it! I think. Also in our first encounter you could read without a light!"
She blinked at me as she slowly got up, a glare still on her face as she slowly picked up her book. "How did you know I was a cat Faunus?"
"That was a lucky guess. Listen to me Blake. You seem like a wonderful person and just because you have cat ears doesn't mean I will treat you any different. I'm a Faunus myself." I said, wiggling my ears. She sighed as she fixed the ribbon that was on her ears. I gave a smile and extended my hand.
"Listen Blake. I literally kicked a dude in the balls for a Faunus. It doesn't matter that you have cat ears, bunny ears, or whatever. You are you. And I believe you are a wonderful person. Think on this Blake." I said with a grin as I turned around and began to walk towards the dorm.
"Hey Robin? Why do you not hide your ears? Just a question."
"Well… I did for a bit. But then I realized that they're my best feature." I said with a smirk as I walked off, humming a gentle tune.
"Good night Ms. Belladonna!" I said with a smirk as I walked back to my dorm.
Time for a good night rest….
