Jeez this is bad; I had just started writing on this fic about 6 months ago and reading it now I can see how much I improved. I'm kind bad again though as I haven't written anything new in like a month cause school and I'm tryna edit now which is fun. You have any idea how long it takes to write a half decent 1.5k word chapter? No? On with the story….

As Y/n had just finished telling his friends about his semblance he heard a voice over the school's loudspeaker.

"Could Y/n please come to Ozpins office"

As Y/n was walking towards his destination he wondered if he was being called because of his fight with Cardin.

But I did the right thing, or did I?

As Y/n reached Ozpins office he walked inside to see Ozpins sitting at his desk with Glynda by his side while a man in military uniform stood talking to a woman in the same outfit while another man leaned against the wall and took a swig from a flask.

Ironwood, Winter and Qrow... oh crap

"Ah, look who's finally arrived," Ozpin said as he stood up from his desk.

"We were all watching what you did with Cardin, and we were impressed."

All eyes were on Y/n as he accepted the praise.

"So (burp) this is the kid that knows about Salem" Said Qrow who was obviously drunk.

"Qrow! don't be so crass. Hello, their young man my name is wint-"

"-er Schnee, That's Qrow Branwen and that's general James Ironwood of the atlas military"

Ironwood slowly chuckled and turned to face Y/n.

"Ozpin was right, you do know a lot."

Winter was still standing there stunned as she had just been interrupted mid-sentence, something that had never happened to the Schnee before.

"How the hell do you (burp) know all of that stuff kid?"

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you"

"Eh it's alright I already know; I was just testing you"

"What and how?" Y/n said suddenly, confused at what the bird had said.

"Well, you see...

Flashback

As Cinder was explaining her life story and how there was no dust, Grimm or magic in her world there was a crow sitting on a windowsill in Salem's throne room who perched in the same spot for the hours it took for Cinder to explain everything. As soon as Cinder had finished talking and Salem had made her offer the crow flew off of the window and across the fields of Grimm. The crow was flying as fast as its wings would allow and its destination was Beacon Academy.

End Flashback

Qrow said that as soon as he got back, he informed Ozpin, Winter and Ironwood.

"So, you all know?"

"Yes"

I'm so screwed

"So, you're not actually from this world," asked Ironwood

"No"

Y/n then asked who had been talking and what this person looked like. Qrow then described Cinder perfectly. Qrow decided not to tell anyone about the whole Cinder being in love with Y/n thing. The kid would have to figure that out on his own.

Qrow then went on to say that he had gone back only to see Cinder training brutally and being half-starved to death. Y/n was relieved when he first heard that Cinder was alive but now, he was horrified beyond belief. Qrow then said that he thinks she has acquired the semblance of fire manipulation and is being trained by Salem to be an assassin. Y/n couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"We have to go and save her. Right fricking now!"

"Calm down kid, there's a reason I haven't tried to save her yet"

Qrow then described how Cinder looked like she was training voluntarily and how she kept pushing her physical and mental limits. Y/n couldn't think of a single sane reason why Cinder would submit herself to the service of Salem. Maybe because the reason wasn't sane.

Y/n was in emotional turmoil as not only had Ozpins inner circle discovered his secret but now he knew that Cinder was being trained by Salem and Cinder was willingly doing it.

"While we realise this must be troubling news to you Y/n, we have to focus on the task at hand" Ironwood said as he activated a hologram of a strange floating tower.

"This is amity arena where the next vytal festival will be hosted."

Y/n already knew all of this but continued to listen anyway.

"With Salem training Cinder to be a spy and assassin, we believe that Cinders first mission will be disrupting the festival," Winter said as Y/n stood there looking at the hologram, but his mind was in a completely different place.

Winter and Ironwood then spent the next hour explaining possible strategies to deal with security breaches while Y/n just stood there, barely listening. Y/n was then dismissed as the meeting had adjourned and he quickly made his way back to the cafeteria as so much time had passed that dinner was being served. Y/n made his way to team RWBY's table where he was introduced to team JNPR. Even though he already knew all of them from the show he still introduced himself to everyone. While both teams were talking vigorously while eating dinner, Y/n's mind was elsewhere as he was still comprehending what he had been told about Cinder. As soon as dinner had concluded he went to the roof of the Academy to get some fresh air.

After half an hour of just sitting there taking everything in Y/n heard voices behind him and turned to see Jaune and Pyrrha talking. Y/n remembered that this was where Jaune told Pyrrha he had lied about coming to Beacon. As this was a pivotal point in Jaunes character development, Y/n decided not to interfere even though he knew that Cardin was listening. Sure enough, as soon as Pyrrha left, Cardin jumped onto the roof and told Jaune that he had heard everything. After talking with Cardin for a few more minutes, Jaune walked off the roof with his head held down in shame. Y/n waited until Jaune had left and used time stop to walk right behind Cardin and tap him on the shoulder. Cardin quickly spun around only to get an uppercut to the jaw which sent him spinning in the other direction.

"If I see you bully or blackmail another person, I swear to god I will throw you off this roof!"

Cardin was still on the ground crying from the force of the punch but nodded in understanding.

"Good. Now get out of my sight"

With that final statement, Cardin quickly ran off the roof and down back to his dorm where he would cry himself to sleep.

Y/n was finally alone on the roof and had time to reflect how far he had come in the past 72 hours when he had stepped through that portal to now where he was a full-blown huntsman in training.

Y/n then stepped off the roof and made his way into team RWBY's dorm and tried very hard not to wake them but didn't succeed.

"Hey Y/n I haven't seen you since dinner and you were away all day, speaking of which, where were you," Ruby said in her innocent but curious tone.

"I was in Ozpins office discussing... Huntsman things"

"Oh, ok"

Y/n then got a spare blanket and was about to lie down on the floor when Ruby told Y/n that he could sleep with her.

"Are you sure?"

"It'll be fine"

So, Y/n then snuggled up next to Ruby in her bed who promptly fell asleep and nuzzled her way into his arms.

What's gonna happen when Yang sees this?

But Y/n was too drowsy to think about that right now and he fell asleep dreaming of Cinder and what she was becoming. They weren't pleasant dreams.
