What's up everyone and welcome to chapter 5 of God of War: Remnant. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the last chapter and hope you enjoy this one as well. As for everyone worrying about whether or not other Gods from other mythologies are going to be in this story, the short answer is no. There will NOT be any other mythological Gods in this story. Meaning, no Bauldr or Thor or Odin. However, I may have the Brother Gods get involved at some point but whether or not they will be as enemies to Kratos I haven't decided yet. But anyway, I hope you all enjoy this next chapter and sorry for the wait.
Ruby and the others sat amongst their fellow students in the training hall after receiving an email from Ozpin for all first and second-year students to meet there. "Do you know what this is all about," Ruby asked Weiss.
"Its to introduce the new Instructor obviously," the Schnee said.
"What kind of person do you think this new Instructor will be like," Jaune asked.
"I don't care so long as they know what they're doing," Yang commented.
"What's up with her," Nora asked.
Ruby gave a small chuckle and said, "Oh nothing. She just has a high standard when it comes to training."
Just then, Glynda Goodwitch walked out in front of the students and cleared her throat to get their attention. "Good morning students. I thank you all for taking the time to gather here on such short notice as I'm sure a lot of you are eager to start your new year. I'm sure you have all heard the rumors about a new teacher. Well, let me put those rumors to rest for they are true. Starting today, the first and second-year students will begin their training under a new teacher." The doors to the training hall opened and in walked a male figurer. He was an older man, older than Ozpin, tall, anywhere between six to seven feet, had a bald head and a full, black beard with some grey hairs, pale skin, a nasty scar on his right eye and a bigger one on his abdomen, and a faded out red tattoo that covered a good portion of the left side of his torso and ended at his eye. He wore a leather shoulder guard with a black fur pelt covering his back, a leather waist guard over black fur trousers, bandages with dried up blood on his forearms, and leather boots all of which were well used and worn out. "Ah, here he is now. Everyone, I'd like to introduce," the male took up a spot next to Glynda, "Kratos." Ruby and Yang gasped in shock at seeing their father standing before them.
(A little time later)
Kratos stood out in the hall as the students filed out of the Training Hall and headed toward their morning classes, some of them giving him nervous looks due to his intimidating features. "Dad," a voice yelled out. Kratos turned toward the voice and was taken by surprise by his two smiling daughters who hugged him on either side. "What are you doing here," Yang asked.
Kratos responded by placing a hand on their shoulders and gently pushing them back. "I'm the new Combat Instructor and Teacher."
"Well yeah, we kind of caught that, but why," Ruby asked. "You said you'd never come anywhere near this place."
He could have told her that he did it so that she could fulfill her dreams of becoming a Huntress but instead he went with, "Things changed." The bell then rang and he said, "Go. Time for you both to get to classes." The two girls nodded their heads in agreement and gave their father a final hug before rejoining with their team and headed toward class. Kratos watched them go before turning and entering into the Training Hall where he was greeted by his first class, a class of second-years. "Alright, let's get this over with."
(Transition)
"Monsters, fiends, creatures of the night. The Grimm has many names, but I prefer to use the term 'prey'." The classroom fell silent save for a lone grasshopper chirping from somewhere in the room. "Err, and in time you will too." Peter Port, the academy's Grimm Studies Professor, was a man in early old age with gray hair with a matching mustache and appeared to be slightly overweight. He wore a dark red double-breasted suit with golden accents, matching pants that were tucked into olive cavalry boots. "Now, as I was saying." He began to walk back in forth in front of the class. "The four kingdoms are safe havens in a treacherous world. Our planet is abundant of creatures that would love nothing more than to tear every one of you limb from limb."
"Hope he's going somewhere with this," Yang whispered as Port continued to speak.
"Huntsmen, Huntresses," he winks and clicks his tongue toward Yang who chuckles nervously all while thinking 'My father would rip you apart.' "Individuals who have sworn to protect those who can not protect themselves. From what you may ask. Why from the very world!"
A boy in the back shouts, "Yeah!" His outburst gets everyone's attention and he goes back to laying his head down.
"That is what you are aiming to become. But first, a story. A tale of a young handsome man. Me. When I was a boy I..." Weiss was doing her best to listen to her professor but was getting distracted by Ruby scribbling on a piece of paper. "Despite smelling of cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man." Ruby began to snicker at herself before pulling up what she was doodling. It was a picture of a smelly and round Professor Port. She blew a raspberry before her and her sister began to laugh loudly. Port cleared his throat to get their attention before finishing his story and ending with a bow. "Now, who among you believe that they possess the traits to become a Huntsman."
An angry Weiss raised her hand and shouted, "I do Sir!"
"Hmm, well then, let's find out shall we?" Port turned to a cage that held a Boartusk before saying, "Step forward Shnee and face your opponent.
Weiss changed into her Huntress gear and stepped up to fight. "Go, Weiss," Yang shouted.
"Fight well," Blake cheered with an RWBY flag.
"Yeah, represent team RWBY," Ruby said.
"Ruby shut it, I'm trying to focus," Weiss snapped to which the young girl replied with an apology and a nervous smile.
"Alright, let the fight begin," Port said before slamming his weapon, a bladed blunderbuss, on the cages lock and releasing the Grimm inside.
It glared at Wiess and charged in to attack, but the Schnee was easily able to dodge and counter with a slice across its side. But the attack did nothing and only seemed to further anger it. "Hang in there Weiss," Ruby shouted. Weiss and the Boartusk charged each other but the Grimm deflected her weapon and trapped it between its curved tusks.
"Oh ho, a new approach? I like it," Port said, obviously unaware of the imminent danger the girl was in.
"Come on Weiss, show it whose boss," Ruby encouraged but this distracted her friend enough to allow the Grimm to disarm and throw her across the room.
Port chuckled and said, "Now what will you do without your weapon."
Weiss groaned and looked up in time to see the Boartusk charging her and narrowly dodged before scrambling to get her weapon. But, she wasn't quick enough and the Grimm slammed itself into her back, sending her into the far wall and onto the ground. "Weiss, look out," Ruby shouted as the Grimm charged at her again looking to pummel her to death. But the Schnee wasn't able to move in time and Professor Port appeared to be fumbling with his weapon. Weiss curled up and awaited the impact but it never came. She opened her eyes and saw Kratos standing in front of her with the Boartusk being lifted off the ground by its tusk with one hand.
So, this is kind of a weird place to end, but I wrote onward and couldn't find a better place than this. I know I could have just written on, but if I did that then it would've been way longer. So, I'm deciding the make this a two-part chapter. After the next chapter, there will be a tad bit of a time skip but not that much. Maybe a month or so but not that much.
