CK!?
Y/n was shocked at the offer Ozpin had proposed to him. He had spent countless nights dreaming of becoming a hunter but he never actually thought his dream would come true. In his mind, Y/n weighed the potential positives and negatives of becoming a Huntsman.
Positives:
Possibly getting a Semblance
Meeting all the cool characters from the show
Fighting monsters
Getting a six-pack (probably)
Saving innocents
Having the skills to find Cinder
Dispensing some righteous justice
Negatives:
Almost certain death
It was a done deal.
"I'm in."
"Good, now our first order of business is to get you an aura and Semblance."
Y/n and Glynda didn't think this was possible but Ozpin informed them that he could grant Semblances because of his magic. So Y/n immediately got excited at the possibilities until Ozpin told him that it would be a very painful process as he would have to mould and bend Y/n's very soul to give him a Semblance. Y/n was more than willing to take on the pain if it meant gaining what many would consider a superpower. Y/n asked Ozpin if he could pick what Semblance he wanted but Ozpin informed him that a Semblance was an extension of someone's soul and so would represent that someone on their most basic level. Y/n's head was whirring with what his Semblance could be.
Super strength, super speed? no, definitely laser eyes.
"Are you ready to undergo the process Y/n? "
"More ready than I've been in my entire life."
So, with that Ozpin started "working his magic" and began shaping Y/n's soul. As he was doing this Y/n was screaming at the top of his lungs as it felt like his chest was being ripped apart and his mind was tearing at the seams.
"There, all done"
Y/n was still bent over in pain but quickly stood up as he realised, he wasn't experiencing the gut-wrenching pain of a few seconds earlier. Y/n quickly tried to discern what his Semblance was but was unable to activate it.
"To active your semblance for the first time, you must concentrate on what makes you feel the most emotion, preferably what makes you most happy rather than angry."
As Y/n thought about what Ozpin said he immediately closed his eyes and started conjuring memories of his early childhood that he could barely remember. He then focused on all the pain and anger he had felt following his parent's death and for all the years after. He then remembered Ozpin's advice and tried to stick to happy thoughts but those were few and far between. So, he started focusing on the main thing that had kept him going for all these years, the thing that he cared most about, the thing he couldn't live without.
Cinder.
He felt something stirring deep within his soul and so opened his eyes to see if his Semblance had activated. For a couple of seconds, he didn't notice any changes until he realised that Ozpin wasn't moving at all. He tried waving a hand in front of Oz's face but that elicited no reaction. He tried the same thing with Glynda. Same result.
Oh my god. I have time stop!
As Y/n came to this realisation time started once again and Y/n suddenly felt extremely tired as if he had just done an entire gym workout.
"By the way, the first time is the only time that you have to have that much emotion an-"
Ozpin noticed that Y/n was panting and covered in sweat. He came to the logical conclusion that Y/n's semblance was time stop and after asking the man himself and only getting a nod in response as Y/n was too tired to talk Ozpin went on to explain the finer details of Y/n's Semblance.
"You are not the first Huntsman to have this ability nor will you be the last. In my experience with similar abilities the longer you use it for the more tired you're going to get, but the more time's you use the Semblance the more your body will become accustomed to its weary effects and so you will eventually be able to last much longer"
Y/n was still panting but he was listening as this was very important information. Ozpin further explained that he had gifted Y/n an incredibly strong aura so that he may better face the wilds of remnant when trying to find Cinder. Y/n was very grateful to Ozpin as he realised just how big a gift this was. With an aura this strong it would be difficult for Grimm to even harm him and it could make up for the years of lost training that all other huntsman had.
"Now it's time to get you out of those rags and get you a real weapon"
So Ozpin and Glynda escorted Y/n down the elevator and into Beacons armoury level which housed all kinds of weapons and armour. Y/n spent 20 minutes ogling at all the awesome looking armour and weaponry on display before Ozpin said to take his pick. Y/n spent the next hour looking at the hundreds of weapons and outfits to choose from but none of them really suited him.
Too big. Too small. Damn, I'm never gonna find a weap-
Just as Y/n had that thought he glimpsed the most magnificent thing he had ever seen. Second only to Cinder. He had laid his eyes upon a revolver that's barrel extended out into a very long knife that some would even consider a short sword. Next to the weapon of his dreams was an outfit he would only expect to find in the Assassin's Creed games. The outfit had a thin black hood and a black mask that went up to Y/n's nose along with two blue and black gauntlets on each hand and a blue chest piece that was connected to the outfit's black sleeves and blue belt that was encrusted with silver.
This thing looks epic!
Y/n suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to find Ozpin staring at the ensemble and saying that it was a very nice choice. Ozpin's tone suddenly got more serious as he said that the trials to determine teams had already been held and that Ozpin was putting Y/n in team RWBY as he knew it had a capable leader. Ozpin warned Y/n not to tell anyone, including team RWBY, about where he had come from and how he had got these powers as Ozpin didn't want this information falling into the wrong hands. He told Y/n to simply make up a backstory about how his parents were huntsman and had home-schooled him but then died suddenly in a Grimm attack while defending their home. Y/n was annoyed that he would have to lie to the team but understood Ozpin's caution
"Tonight, you will sleep in one of the unused dorms and tomorrow I will announce who you are and what team you will be on."
Y/n nodded in understanding and followed the directions that his scroll gave him. A scroll gifted to him by Ozpin. Y/n couldn't wait for tomorrow as he really wanted to meet the team and get to know them. But that would have to wait because now he could get a nice full night's sleep. As he drifted off into slumber he still thought about Cinder and where she could possibly be. But he had ended up with Ozpin so what's the worst that could be happening to her?
If only he knew...
