CHAPTER 3: INITIATION DAY


Here is CHAPTER 3 of The Protector of Remnant please enjoy.


Issei landed in front of Beacon Academy where he made his way inside and was met by Ozpin.

"Hello there Issei did you have fun roaming around the City," Ozpin asked Issei

"Well I got the things that I needed ," Issei said as he pulled out the things that he bought.

"That's good to hear Issei," Ozpin replied as he took a sip out of his coffee.

"Well i'm going to my room now professor Ozpin," Issei said

"Of Course you must be very tired after all of that, but be prepared for the initiation in a week," Ozpin replied

"Thank you professor, and I'll do my best at the initiation," Issei said while walking away from Ozpin.


Issei reached his room and entered it and dropped the bags of clothes and books on the table and lay on his bed.

"Well today was certainly interesting right Ddraig?"

[Indeed it is, I still can't believe you have already gotten yourself in trouble on the first day on this new world already partner,] Ddraig reminded Issei about the fight in the bar.

"Yeah, Yang kinda started it but we got out of it so it's no big deal," Issei said as he remembered what happened in the bar." and im kinda looking forward to our fight."

[Partner, did you take an interest in her?]

"I don't know Ddraig, I still remember them and I think starting another another relationship in this world is kinda like betraying them,"

[I see, but in any other circumstances that someone really does take interest in you what would you do?]

"I don't know what will happen then, I still can't move on from losing my old lovers," Issei said in a saddened voice as he remembered his lovers. After that silence filled the room when Issei decided to ask something.

"Ddraig?"

[What is it partner?]

"Do you think someone out there is controlling the grimm, or creating them?"

[Maybe, and what if there is, what will you do partner?]

"Well since we are now in this world it's only fair that its problem is now ours to"

[What are you getting at partner?]

"What i'm saying is if ever we find the one who is controlling the grimm, we will make them submit to us, we will be The Protector of Remnant!"

[It's nice to see that you still have that spark in you partner.]

"I know Ddraig, and I think it's now time to go to sleep, goodnight Ddraig," Issei said as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

[Goodnight partner,] Ddraig said as he too had fallen asleep.


A week has passed, during this time Issei started to learn more about Remnant and the different kingdoms within it. It was time for the initiation and a Vale airship was heading into the Academy. Inside it we see Ruby and Yang talking to each other.

"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!" Yang was hugging her sister as she and her sister were now going into Beacon.

"Please stop," Ruby told her sister while gasping for air. Yang then releases her sister from her sibling hug."Thank you."

"Hmm, I wonder?" Yang thought about something which caught the attention of Ruby.

"What is it Yang?" Ruby asked her sister

"I'm wondering where Issei is, I can't see him on this ship," Yang said as she looked around trying to find Issei

"Maybe he's already in Beacon."

"I guess we'll just see."


We see Issei now standing outside of Beacon Academy watching the students getting off from the airship. He is now wearing a new outfit, he now wears an unzipped black leather jacket with red outlingings on the jacket and a red dragon symbol on its back while wearing red armguards in his arms, he also wears a red t-shirt underneath, and wearing black pants with combat shoes. When suddenly he heard a loud explosion.

"What was that," Issei said as he ran into the location of the explosion.

[I don't know but let's check it out.]

When they reached the location of the explosion they saw a familiar face.

"Ruby, is that you?" Issei saw Ruby lying on the ground.

"Hello Issei."

"So what was that explosion that happened here?" Issei asked Ruby

"I happened."

"What do you mean? Here let me help you up," Issei reached out a hand for Ruby.

"Thanks Issei," Ruby grabbed Issei's hand and helped her up, she rubbed off the dust from her clothes.

"So what happened here?" Issei asked Ruby what really happened earlier.

"I happened to stumble into a girl and then she spoke about something, I sneezed, and next thing you know it, BOOM an explosion happens right in front of your face." Ruby explained to Issei while waving her arms around, making Issei chuckle a bit. When a new voice has greeted them

"Hello," he wears a black short-sleeved hoodie with detached reddish-orange sleeves. Covering that is a white diamond-shaped chest plate cut off above his lower abdomen, and placed over his shoulders are a pair of white spaulders with rerebraces set under them. Below, he wears blue jeans with a white patch placed on the left knee and black sneakers. He also has elbow guards with cords strung through them and he wears black high tops.

He has two belts criss crossing his waist, both different shades of brown, with a pair of small pouches on them. Jaune wears brown wrist-length gloves with exposed fingertips and small metal plates over the back.

"Who are you?" Issei asked the blonde boy

"Oh, my name's Jaune Arc" he introduced himself as he held out his hand for a handshake.

"The name's Issei Hyoudou, nice to meet you Jaune," Issei shook his hand in return.

"I'm Ruby Rose," Ruby introduced herself while shaking his hand in return,"Aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?"

"All I'm saying is motion sickness is a pretty common thing,"

"Sure Vomit Boy,"

"Oh yeah, what if call you Crater Face,"

"Hey! That was an accident!"

"Sure," after silence filled around them until Ruby asked a question.

"So… What weapons do you guys have?"

"Well I have this sword and shield," jaune pulls out his sword and shield.

"Ooh, what does it do?" Ruby asked as she touched the shield and made it smaller and it started bouncing like crazy, jaune struggled to grab it for a moment making Issei almost laugh.

"The shield gets smaller so that when I don't want to carry it, I can just put it away.

"I can see that it also carries your sword," Issei said, receiving a nod from Jaune.

"But wouldn't it weigh the same?" Ruby asked

"It does."

"Well i have this" ruby said as she pulled out something from her back and transformed into a giant scythe.

"Whoa is that a scythe?" both Issei and Jaune said as they saw ruby holding a scythe

"Yup, it's also a high caliber, customizable sniper rifle."

"Wha?" both Issei and Jaune asked in confusion.

"It's also a gun,"

"Oh, that's cool," Issei said in amazement.

"So Issei, what's your weapon?"

"Well about that you might be surprised of what my weapon is Ruby,"

"What do you mean Issei?"

"It's kinda similar to your sister's weapon,"

"So does that mean those red arm guards are your weapons?"

"Yes and that's not all to it," Issei exclaimed as he punched his fist together. As he did that the arm guards started to transform into red gauntlets that covers up to his elbows, the shape and color scheme of the weapon is similar to the boosted gear but it is smaller in size for concealment purposes, it has barrels in between its knuckles, and another barrel protruding in the elbow part.

"Whoa it is similar to Yang's weapon but at the same time it is different,"

"Yeah but unlike your sister's gauntlets mine have some thrusters from the back," Issei explained as the barrels from his elbows spew out some fire.

"WHOA THAT'S SO COOL!"

"And there's another thing that it can do that your sister's gauntlet can't

"Really, what is it?!" Ruby asked with sparkles in her eyes.

"That," Issei put a finger near his mouth," A secret~"

"Aw come one, can't I see it even for a little bit?"

"Maybe during the initiation you can see it Ruby"

"Promise?" as she held out her pinky for a pinky promise

"I promise you Ruby," Issei promised as they did their pinky promise together.

"So you guys wanna hang out a little bit more before orientation starts? Issei Asked as he deactivated his gauntlets.

"Sure," Ruby and Jaune agreed and together they roamed around Beacon. After a while they decided to went into the auditorium for the orientation


They reached the auditorium and went inside. When they went inside they saw many people with different weapons in the auditorium.

"Well I'll see you guys later," Issei said as he waved them goodbye as he disappeared into the crowd. After that Yang approached Ruby

"Ruby! Over here I saved you a spot!"

"Gotta go Jaune, see you after the ceremony."

"Bye,"


"How's your first day going, little sister?"

"You mean you ditched me and I exploded!"

"Yike's first day and meltdown already?"

"No, I literally exploded, but Issei was there to save me."

"Wait, you met Issei? What did you guys do?"

"Yes I met Issei, we talked about some stuff and we hung out around Beacon for a while."

"It looks like you two are getting too close."

"It's not like that we're just friends."

"Sure." Yang replied as a voice came from the stage which made all of the students look over to see who it was.

As they look at the stage they saw Ozpin readying the mic to make an announcement and Glynda at his side

"I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."

After the speech that Ozpin gave it was time for Glynda to speak up

"You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed." and with that all of the students were dismissed.


It was already nighttime and all of the students were gathered in the ballroom preparing to sleep. We see Ruby writing on a paper with her sister at her side.

"It's like a big slumber party!" Yang says as she lays down beside her sister

"I don't think dad would like all of the boys though," as she looks around the ballroom.

"I know I do rawr~" As she looks over to the boys, she sees many boys shirtless until jaune comes in with his pajamas.

"So what are you doing there?"

"Oh I'm just writing a letter for my friends at signal," Ruby replied as she continued to write.

"That's so cute," Yang said as a pillow was thrown at her face.

"Shut up! I didn't take any of my friends from signal and I don't know anyone here."

"What about Jaune? He's nice! There you go! Plus one friend! That's a hundred percent increase!"

"I'm pretty sure Weiss is a negative friend, back to zero."

"There's no such thing as negative friends! You just made one friend and one enemy!" Yang told Ruby as she was hit with another pillow."Look, it's only been one day. Trust me; you've got friends all around you! You just haven't met them yet!"

"Oh yeah, Issei is my friend to,"

"Speaking of him, where is he?"

"I'm not sure, I can't seem to see him,"

"I'm sure he's in here somewhere," Yang looked for Issei in the boys side and eventually found him sitting in his sleeping bag shirtless showing his toned and muscular body, which made Yang blush a little,"I found him, and like what I see~"

"What do you mean?" Ruby asked as she looked over to what her sister was looking at and she saw Issei which also made her blush."Woah."

"I know, he looks hot~, I wonder how good he is in be-" she was cut off when another pillow was thrown at her by Ruby.

"Will you cut that out!"

"No,"

Issei was receiving stares which reminded him of his times being a pervert in Kuoh. he was used to the stares that everyone gave him but this time it was not for his pervertedness but for his body.

Because of constant battles in his old world he always worked his body so that he was always ready when trouble came in which resulted in his new muscular and toned body.

But the most notable thing in his body was a huge scar in his abdomen which was given to him at the end of the battle between trihexa when one of its tails struck him in his abdomen.

'So many people are staring at me,' Issei thought as he was getting annoyed with all of the glances that he was getting.

[Aren't you used to it already? You are always being stared at your school because of your pervertedness, you know.]

'Yeah but this time it's different, I can sense some hatred but I can also sense some lust too.'

[Well since they think you are not not a pervert here, the girls are not disgusted by you, and since your body have become muscular more girls will come to you and the boys will be jealous over you,]

'I guess you're right,' Issei agreed. 'So this is what pretty boys must have felt like in our school days huh.'Issei remembered the girls that would always flock around him.'I guess not being a pervert has its benefits after all.'

[Does this mean you will not be a pervert anymore?]

'Maybe, this is a new world Ddraig and I think I should change some of my ways, starting with my perversion,"

[Am i hearing this right, you're going to give up your perversion?]

'I think it's for the best Ddraig,'

[finally no more nicknames like Oppai Dragon.]

'Come on, I know you have grown fond of that nickname.'

[Don't get me started, i'm going to sleep,]

'Goodnight Ddraig,' and with that they both went to sleep


It was morning and everyone was preparing for the initiation. Everyone was in the locker room suiting up for the upcoming initiation. We see Issei putting on his jacket and putting on his arm guards.

"Well I think I'm ready for today." he said as he closed his he heard the voice of Glynda from the intercom system.

"Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately."

"Well that's our que," Issei said as he made his way out of the locker room, on his way out he could see Jaune talking to two girls.

One wore a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this, she wears a bell-sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar.

The other wore a brown overbust corset with a vertical strip of lighter brown in the center. Additionally, she wore an elastic, black, A-line mini skirt and brown opera-length gloves on both arms. She wore a red ankle-length sash that wrapped around her skirt.

After that he went out of the locker rooms and went into the cliffs.


It was time for the initiation. They were all standing on silver plates below them with Ozpin and Glynda on the side.

"I'll keep this brief, you are tasked to obtain relics located in the emerald forest. You are to avoid or kill any grimm that stands in your way, the first person that you make eye contact with will be your partner for the next 4 years. Any questions?" Jaune raised a hand but was ignored by Ozpin." Good, now Launch!" and with that jaune was launched which made him scream like a little girl. After that Issei was launched followed by the rest of the students.

"I love this part," Ozpin chuckled as he took a sip from his mug.


Issei was flying to the air with his devil wings below he could see many students using their weapons and semblances to either boost their speed or make them land. He could see Yang flying through the air with her gauntlets wearing some aviator's glass. Next he could see a spartan girl on top of a tree throwing her spear at Jaune which helped him land safely. He could also see ruby using the recoil of her weapon to slow down her descent. After that he decided to land In the forest.

"Well that was fun," as he dusted off dust from his jacket.

[Yes watching that guy scream was pretty entertaining]

"Yup hahaha!"

[Well, let's talk later right now you have an initiation to pass.]

"You got that right," At that moment dozens of grimm ranging from beowolfs to boarbatusk.

As Issei saw this he readied his gauntlets prepared to fight.

"Alright, come at me!" and with that all of the grimm that surrounded him were now charging towards him Issei did the same as he charged towards the Grimm delivering punches and kicks into the grimm which sent them flying until only one beowolf remained. With the last remaining beowolf He used the thrusters in his right gauntlet and punched the remaining beowolf in the chest and a bullet shot out of one of the knuckles which blew out a hole right through the chest of the beowolf.

"These gauntlets are sweet!"

[That they are partner.]

"Well let's try and find those relics now," but Issei was interrupted by a loud roar and the sounds of trees breaking off. He readied himself for another grimm. What came out of the trees was an ursa major. One would think to run if an ursa major was coming for you but not Issei for he has a different plan for it.

"Hey Ddraig I have a plan," Issei said with a smirk on his face

[Sure partner.]


In the clearing of the forest we can see a temple with altars inside of it. On top of those pillars were chess pieces but some pillars seem to have some missing pieces which indicates that some students have already gotten some pieces.

We see Yang and Ruby with some other people with them, one was a black haired girl with a ribbon on top of her head, the other girl was an orange haired girl who was at the side of a black haired boy who was wearing a green coat. They were all watching at the sky looking at a nevermore which was holding the white haired princess.

"How could you leave me!" shouted the hite haired princess.

"I said Jump!" Ruby shouted back

"She's gonna fall"

"She'll be fine,"

"She's falling," said the black haired boy as they could see the white haired princess falling from the sky.

When suddenly they heard a loud explosion that came from the forest. When they looked over they saw 2 figures, one looked like a blur that went straight into the air while the other was an Ursa major that came out of the forest with a huge hole in its chest.

When they returned their gazes at where the white haired princess was they had their eyes widened at what they saw. They saw Issei with his dragon wings out holding the white haired princess' bridal style as he slowly descended down into the others.

"You okay snow angel," Issei asked as they landed in front of them and retracted his wings.

"I'm fine," the white haired princess said as Issei now put her down. Soon after that the spartan girl landed beside them after getting away from the death stalker.

"Great, the gang's all here. Now we call all die together," Yang exclaimed.

"Not if I could help it," Ruby said as she readied her scythe and charged towards the death stalker.

"Ruby, wait!" Both Issei and Yang shouted but Ruby ignored their calls as she proceeded to charge at the deathstalker but it knocked her back.

"Don't worry, totally fine," Ruby said as she tried to go back to the group but was stopped by a barrage of feathers that came from the nevermore. One feather was able to nail Ruby's cape resulting in her being stuck in place as the deathstalker was once again charging at her.

"Ruby! Get out of there!"

"I'm trying!" She tried to set herself free but was unable to as the deathstalker now aims its tail straight to her which causes her to close her eye's. Until she felt a gust of wind go through her. She opened her eyes to see Issei holding the tail of the deathstalker.

"Issei!" Ruby shouted.

"You're not hurt, are you Ruby?" Issei asked Ruby.

"No."

"That's good," and with that Issei grabbed the whole telson of the deathstalker and started to pull it until the telson broke off from the tai which shocked everyone he then proceeded to stab it into the head of the deathstalker.

He then grabbed it again and aimed it at the nevermore and with a single throw the tail of the deathstalker hit one of the wings of the nevermore bringing it down to the ground, struggling to fly. It was at this moment that the nevermore stopped trying to fly but charged at Issei instead. Issei decided it was the perfect time to test out the final ability of his weapon.

"Ruby, remember the promise that we made yesterday?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Now i'm going to show you what my weapon can really do," Issei said as he joined his arms in front of him making the two gauntlets collide with each other and it started to merged with each other turning it into a cylinder shape with 6 barrels in front of it, which started charging up.

"SONIC STAR BLASTER!" Issei shouted as a large beam came out of the barrels that pierced the nevermore in its chest.


Back in the cliffs we can see Ozpin and Glynda watching Issei on a tablet.

"That boy really is powerful, to defeat a nevermore and a deathstalker," Glynda commented.

"That he is," Ozpin replied as he took a sip from his coffee mug.

"Are you sure that he is on our side, Ozpin?"

"I'm sure he is not on her sideGlynda,"

"What makes you say that?"

"Those eyes, I can see someone who has gone through hell, someone who would fight for peace even if it means sacrificing his life."

"I see," as they continued to watch at the tablet.


"That was so cool! How did you do that, did those gauntlets merge with each other, and what was that beam!"Ruby asked a flurry of questions at Issei with some sparkles in her eye's

"I'll answer all of your questions later Ruby, but right now let's get back to the temple and let's get our relics."

"Yeah," with that they both made their way into the temple where they met the rest of the group.

As they reached the temple Issei was bombarded again with questions from the orange haired girl.

"How did you do that! You ripped the tail off like it was nothing, and that large beam, how did you make that!" asked the orange haired girl with excitement.

"Nora! Calm down, give him some space." shouted the black haired boy as he pulled her into his side." Sorry that she tends to be energetic sometimes."

"That's ok, I'm Issei hyoudou,"

"My name's Lie Ren but you can call me Ren, and the girl beside me is Nora," Ren introduced himself and Nora to Issei.

"I'm Blake Belladonna," the black haired girl introduced herself to Issei as he noticed that the bow at the top twitched.

'Ddraig am I seeing things or did that bow just move?'

[You're not alone, maybe she is a cat faunus, just look at those eyes,]

'Yeah kinda reminds me of kuroka, just without the tail.' after that brief talk with Ddraig he heard the spartan girl introduce herself

"I'm Pyrrha Nikos," the only one remaining now was the white haired princess.

"Weiss Schnee," the white haired girl introduced herself with a slight bow.

"Nice to meet you all, with introductions out of the way let's get the relics," they all nodded and went into the temple with the relics.

Once Issei was in there Issei saw what relics they were going to get. It was chess pieces which brought him some happy memories during the time with his team.

'Chess pieces huh, it sure does bring some happy memories,' Issei thought to himself as he approached the last chess piece. It was a red crimson pawn piece. He proceeded to grab it and stared at it for a bit with a few tears flowing out of his eyes. Blake noticed this and decided to ask him what was wrong.

"Hey Issei are you okay," Issei snapped out of it as he heard what Blake said.

"Oh im fine,"

"You don't seem to be fine you were crying,"

"Yeah the pawn piece seem to have brought back some happy memories from my past that all,"

"I see," and with that they joined the rest of the group and proceeded to walk together back to the cliffs.

"So Issei can you tell me why you never told us you were a faunus," Yang asked.

"Well you never asked," Issei replied.

"Right, by the way, were you the one that killed that ursa major?"

"Yeah what about it," Issei responded, making everyone widen their eyes.

"How?" Yang asked again.

"Well i was killing some grimms in the forest after a while that thing showed up and decided to ride on it,"

"YOU RODE ON A URSA MAJOR!" everyone shouted.

"Yeah, rode on it for a while until I could hear a scream falling so I used my gauntlets and shot through its chest and decided to fly in the air in which I caught Weiss."

"I see, I notice that your gauntlets are similar to mine. Did you perhaps get the Idea when we first met?"

"Well it is similar, but I made some modifications on it."

"I see, expect our fight to be earlier than you thought, Issei!" Yang exclaimed

"Sure, just call me anytime and I'll be there to fight you," Issei replied as they continue to walk.

After reaching the cliffs they gave the Chess pieces to Ozpin and they all went back to Beacon.


They were now in the auditorium waiting for their teams to be announced.

"Issei didn't you get a partner?" Ruby asked him since she could see that her friend doesn't seem to have a partner.

"It seems I didn't."

"What will happen now, what if you get expelled for not getting a partner," Ruby panicked as she was worried for her friend for not having a partner.

"Don't worry Ruby, I'm sure professor Ozpin has a plan for this," Issei said to Ruby as he patted her head.

"I hope so," After that conversation the students were now being called onto the stage.

Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren formed team JNPR who was led by Jaune. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang formed team RWBY who was led by Ruby. Which left Issei the last student to be called to the stage.

"Issei Hyoudou, you are the only one who has not received a partner this year. But due to retrieving the pawn piece and killing a nevermore and a deathstalker. You will be a special case. Instead of being on a team you will be able to join any team you desire and help them on any missions," Ozpin announced which received much applause from the students.

"Thank you sir," Issei said with a bow.

After the ceremony the students went to their dorms preparing for the start of classes the next day.


The next chapter will be released on july 16th (GMT +8)

Next chapter will cover Issei's life in this new school, and I'll probably add the jaundice arc into it as well. And a special power up for Issei.

Issei's weapon description

Drachenstulpen (Dragon Gauntlets): red colored with tints of gold arm guards which he called it Drachenstulpen covers his arms. These armguards turn into gauntlets that covers up to his elbows, the shape and color scheme of the weapon is similar to the boosted gear but it is smaller in size for concealment purposes, it has firing mechanisms in between its knuckles which shoots out dust bullets or boosted bullets made by Issei and another firing mechanism in its elbow which can boost the speed of its punches. The gauntlets can merge together forming a cylinder shaped weapon with 6 barrels in front which could shoot a large beam or shoot multiple bullets like a machine gun.
