Chapter six.
the sun began to rise upon Beacon on the first day to many new students, one being our young Kamen rider Lilly, who's clock had just about struck 6:00am. Once it did so the alarm woke Lilly, who soon turned it off and stretched the sleepiness from her body, then getting up from bed to start the day. She took a shower before putting on her school uniform, unlike the other girls Lilly had taken the trousers instead of the skirts, the rules said she had to have a uniform, the never said which kind she had to wear. She then had a nice breakfast, before collecting her satchel bag containing her notebook, some art pencils, a sketchbook, her laptop, a few candroids and her science and biology books, once ready she left her room, making sure to lock it, at 7:54am.
Lilly had read her school schedule last night before bed and found that she had two whole days, Mondays and Tuesdays, and two half days, Wednesdays and Thursdays, with Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off.
As she walked down the corridor a door to her right flew open and Weiss began to run out, she would have run past Lilly if she had not grabbed Weiss around the waist and spun her around before coming to a stop. Of course, this had Weiss sequel in surprise before being put down, at this point the rest of team RWBY had entered the hallway with team JNPR opposite them, all looking a bit confused.
"mourning Weiss," Lilly said in greeting as she placed said girl down but not removing her hand from her waist "Lilly!? What are you doing!? We will be late!" Weiss said trying to get out of the girl's grip, only to stop at her next words "no you won't, in fact you are early" this got a collected "what?" from everyone, making Lilly giggle a bit as she let go of Weiss's waist and explained "while you were all having a small celebration in the cafeteria, I went to both your dorms and put your clocks ahead by one hour" this had them all gaping at her.
"why would you do that?" Blake asked for them all, Lilly smiled in return "because we're friends, I also knew that you all wouldn't look at your clocks until the last second because, let's face it, you're all new students and haven't got your bearings yet. If you don't believe me take a look at your scrolls" she stated and they all had a look at their scrolls, it was true as they said the time was 7:59am.
"so now all of you have an hour to do what you need to get done before class" Lilly spoke up getting their attention "now just one last thing before I leave. Ruby" said girl looked to her "I know you are excited to be a leader, but you shouldn't rush into it, you should take your time. okay" Ruby nodded her head with a thoughtful look as Lilly spoke one last time to all of the team RWBY "a leader needs to be there for her team and the team should be there for their leader" and with that Lilly turned to start walking when Yang called out to her.
"why are you up so early?" Yang asked Lilly "I'm heading to the science lab to see Pamela" Lilly replied "Pamela, science lab?" Blake asked "professor Pamela Pastel. We are working together; I have a few things I need to speak with her about. Now I really must be going if I want enough time to talk to her and then head to Port's class. See you guys later!" and with that Lilly lightly jogged down the halls out of everyone's view.
Lilly soon made it to the lab and as she walked in she saw Pamela about to open the sealed doors to the second lab "oh, hello. I wasn't expecting you today, seeing as it's your first day" Pamela said as the doors opened "I just wanted to speak to you about something before heading to class" Lilly replied as she walked into the second lab with Pamela "just give me a sec" she said as she closed the doors behind them, once shut and locked she turned to Lilly "okay, what did you want to talk about?" she asked as they sat down.
"well we both have a lot of knowledge on my equipment now, especially the Ridevendor and Candroids, so I'm thinking why not make a new Candroid or two?" Lilly explained getting an excited look from Pamela "I was hoping you would ask! So what should we design first?" Pamela asked practically jumping in her seat.
"well I'm thinking of creating something with cell and core medal retrieval capabilities, able to hunt down and collect them, while storing them away until later" Lilly explained getting a nod from Pamela "it would be useful when in a battle or unknown area, how would it collect the cells?" she asked Lilly "well from what I know there is a way to collect them like one would metal with a magnet. I'm thinking there is an energy signature that the cells give off that can be used to pull them towards a candroid, it has been done before with the birth rider weapons, we just need to find the right signature. Then we just have to design a storage and tracker system and we're good to go" Lilly explained getting a nod of understanding from Pamela.
"alright, so when do we start?" Pamela asked as Lilly looked to the clock, it saying 8:45am "I will come by after today's classes to help with on the design, you can get started looking for the signature, okay?" Lilly replied as she stood up with Pamela following as they walked to the sealed doors "sounds like a plan to me, I'll get started right away!" she said as the doors opened and Lilly started walking away "see ya later!" Lilly called, getting a "later!" in return as she left for class.
Lilly made it to class with ten minutes to spare, she took her seat at the front on the left side of the room and got her notebook out and ready. Soon other students arrived, taking their seats along with teams RWBY and JNPR coming in last, they looked a lot more organized and calm, they gave a wave to Lilly as they took their seats, which she returned just as Port came into the room and began his lessons.
"monsters! demons... prowlers of the night. yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names." Port spoke, already putting some people to sleep "but I, merely refer to them as prey. Hu-hah! Haha." He cried out, making Ruby snap awake from her nodding off. There was a moment of awkward silence before port continued on "uhh, and you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy. now as I was saying, vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world. our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces. and that's where we come in. huntsman! huntresses..." he then looked at yang while clicking, meaning to be flirtiest, but yang just looked uncomfortable.
But before Port could continue a clicking noise came to his left, he looked to see Lilly just lowering her scroll "what were you just doing young Lilly?" Port asked getting a smile that would make Glynda proud while making Port shiver in slight fear as she answered "I was just recording an act of inappropriate behavior by a mature adult towards a student. I wonder what Glynda would think" she spoke with such an innocent and sweet voice that it had the classroom shudder and Port sweat like he was in an oven.
"n-n-n-now my d-d-dear, let-t-t's not be hasty!" Port said with a stutter "I will do nothing so long as you act appropriately Port, I believe you were in the middle of a speech?" Lilly replied as she stored her scroll away with an all too innocent smile. Everyone made a note not to get on Lilly's bad side. It was always the nice ones you had to look out for. "a-ah. Yes, you are quite right" Port said before taking a breath and returning to what he was saying.
"individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves. from what you ask? why... the very world!" Port exclaimed which got a yell of agreement from one student, who everyone just looked at oddly before Port continued "that is what you are training to become. but first, a story. a tale of a young, handsome, man. me. when I was a boy..." and soon Port's voice faded into the background as his story went on and on.
Meanwhile Ruby was snickering at a drawing she had made, showing it to her team with a small raspberry she got a deadpan look from Weiss and a laugh from Yang, which Port interrupted with a clearing of his throat. He then went on to continue his story, before taking a bow and saying "the moral of this story? a true huntsman must be honorable." While Ruby pulled a face and balanced an apple on a book, on a pencil that was balanced on her finger, and Weiss was glaring at her while she did so.
"a true huntsman must be dependable." Port went on, not noticing what they were doing, which was Ruby taking a nap with Weiss's glare getting more intense "a true huntsman must be strategic..." he said as Ruby began scratching the inside of her nose "well-educated...and wise!" as he said this Weiss was shaking with anger towards Ruby "so, who among you believe themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?" Port asked and Weiss shot her hand up while saying "I do sir!" with barely gritted teeth.
"well then, let's find out. step forward, and face your opponent." Port said as he turned and indicated towards a steal boxed cage, with glowing red eyes and snorting grows coming from its dark depths.
A few moments later, after Weiss left to change into her normal clothes and collect her weapon, she was ready to fight and took a position opposite the cage at the other end of the room, in her stance with her weapon at the ready.
The rest of team RWBY gave their cheers of encouragement only for Weiss to snap at Ruby "alright. let the match, begin." Port said as he destroyed the lock on the cage, releasing the Boarbatusk. The battle went as the show had shown, Weiss fought the Grimm, Port made comments as she did and her team gave support, Ruby tried to give advice but Weiss kept shooting her down. The match came to an end as Weiss used her glyphs to launch herself and pierce the Grimm, ending it.
"bravo! bravo!" Port cheered as Weiss panted for breath "it appears we are indeed in the presence of a true huntress in training." Port continued as Weiss stood up "I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. be sure to cover the assigned readings and, stay vigilant. class dismissed." With that Weiss left as everyone collected their things, looking very upset as she did. The remaining members of team RWBY looked to on another before Ruby took off after her partner and teammate, Yang and Blake would have followed but they were stopped by Lilly "I'll follow them, you two head back to the dorms. This is something that needs to be said and cleared before you can move forward" once she said that Lilly followed after Ruby and Weiss.
As Lilly left the classroom she spotted Port, she then remembered that Weiss runs into Port later on, so she decided to follow him and as she did so she let the Taka candroid out of her bag and told it to watch over Ruby. He soon leads her to a large outside balcony with benches, she found a spot to sit down just out of sight, so as not to be spotted yet and soon Weiss walked out onto the balcony and towards where Port stood.
"professor Port." Weiss spoke up getting said man's attention "ah, Miss Schnee. and to what do I owe this fine pleasure?" Port asked as he turned to face her "i-i enjoyed your lecture." She answered a little bit nervous "of course you did, child; you have the blood of a true huntress in you." "you really think so?" "most surely." Port replied, only to notice Weiss's odd behavior "hmm, something's troubling you." He stated as Weiss looked back to him.
"yes, sir" Weiss spoke up, confirming his thoughts "dear, girl confess to me your strife." Port said with a bit of a flare "well, i-i think I should've been the leader of team RWBY." Weiss answered the was a moment of silence before port answered: "that's preposterous." This had thrown Weiss for a loop.
"excuse me?" Weiss exclaimed rather upset like "I've believed in professor Ozpin for many years, and the man's never once led me astray." Port stated with pride "so you would just blindly accept his decision even after seeing how exceptional I am?" Weiss argued back "with all due respect your exceptional skill on the battlefield is matched only by your poor attitude." Port replied getting an angry "how dare you!" from Weiss only for him to state "my point exactly." Which got Weiss to be quite for a moment.
"I see a girl before me who has spent her entire life getting exactly what she wanted." Port stated which made Weiss look away while saying "that's not even remotely true." This got a slightly raised eyebrow from Port before she added: "well, not entirely true." Looking a bit unsure of herself now as Port continued "so the outcome did not fall in your favor. do you really believe that acting in such a manner would cause those in power to reconsider their decision?" he asked as Weiss looked back to him "so instead of fretting about what you don't have, savor what you do. hone your skills, perfect every technique, and be not the best leader, but the best person you can be." Port finished and it brought a slight smile to Weiss's face as she understood.
"isn't that right young Lilly?" Port said looking towards the sitting girl, getting Weiss to finally notice her "couldn't have said it better myself, Professor Port" Lilly said as she stood up and walked up to the two. Lilly walked up to Weiss, looking her in the eye…then flicked her forehead, getting a "yelp!" in response.
"why did you do that!?" Weiss demanded while rubbing her forehead "that was for being an idiot" Lilly stated which got a blush from Weiss "like I said before, no matter what training you have been taught by whatever teachers, a sheltered girl can only learn so much from a book or lesson. You need to understand that your words can have a greater impact than you realize" Lilly explained as she showed her a piece of paper with some drawings on it. At the top half was a chibi Ruby sitting down with her hood up looking upset, and just behind her was a chibi Weiss who looked to be saying something mean. Below that was another chibi drawing showing a chibi Yang holding a crying Chibi Ruby while shooting a glare at a chibi Weiss who had her arms crossed and a chibi Blake standing alone not near any of the other chibi girls.
Weiss looked at the drawing, not only being impressed by it, but also feeling despair at what it meant "words are powerful, they are like a hammer, they can create or destroy" Lilly said grabbing Weiss's attention "be careful how you use them, don't destroy a team before it starts Weiss" Lilly spoke as she put the drawing away, Weiss nodded in understanding.
"you're a bright girl Weiss, learn from your mistakes and grow stronger, okay" Lilly advised placing a hand on Weiss's shoulder, then nodding to Port the two walked away, leaving Weiss to her thoughts. As Lilly walked away she nodded to Port before going her own way, heading to the science lab.
Lilly soon entered the lab and then used the security code to enter the second lab, locking the doors behind her afterward. She was greeted by Pamela who was working at a lab table with a scanner, a cell medal, and an odd looking magnet.
"how ya doing, did you learn anything?" Lilly asked as she stood the opposite side of the table to face Pamela "I have learned of the energy that the cells give off are the same, trying to use it to act as a magnet is a tricky part. But I'm close, put these on" Pamela answered as she passed a pair of goggles to Lilly, who put them on as Pamela activated the magnet. There was a low humming as the magnet powered up, after a moment the cell medal began to slowly inch towards the magnet, before the magnet began to get louder and louder, then sparks started to shoot off of it in all directions.
"DOWN!" Lilly shouted and they both dropped down as the device gave a small explosion and lit on fire, Lilly, and Pamela slowly got to their feet afterward.
"well…at least it moved" Pamela said as Lilly got a fire extinguisher and put the small fire out "you'll get it, the original guy that did this took years of research to get close to what you did, so don't be bummed out, shake it off and get back to the drawing board" Lilly said encouragingly "your right, while I take another look at this why don't you get started on the storage and body design" Pamela said to Lilly as she went to a computer "on it" Lilly replied going to her own computer to get started.
They spent hours working on the candroid blueprints, Lilly had come up with the perfect body and had used Pamela's discovery on the cell energy signature to create a locator and tracking system, she was only stopped when Pamela let out a yell of triumph.
"IT WORKS!" Pamela yelled out getting Lilly's attention, she looked to see a cell medal stuck to a piece of flat metal that was connected to a few wires that were connected to a small device. Pamela then went on to explain that she was using too big of a circuit board and a little too much energy without a stabilizer unit, once that was fixed she found it was the metal that drew in the cell medals.
"well done! I knew you could do it. Now all we need to do is finish making the tracking system and the body, then we can start making prototypes for testing" Lilly said and they both nodded and got back to work. Another hour passed and it was now 8:45pm, 15 minutes until curfew.
Lilly stretched as she got up "I have to head to my room now, we'll continue same time tomorrow, okay?" Lilly said as she unlocked the door, getting an "alright, I'll see you tomorrow!" from Pamela as she walked out and locked the door behind her, she then made her way to her room.
Lilly soon came to her room, she unlocked the door, walked in then locked the door behind her. She placed her bag down as the Taka candroid landed on her nightstand, she gave it a small pat on the head before changing into her sleepwear and going to bed. As she began to fall to sleep, Lilly thought about her first day and thought it went pretty well. Soon sleep claimed her as she fell into peaceful sleep.
