March 2

It was morning time and the sunlight began to shine into the room that Rex was staying in. He groggily opened his eyes as the light then blinded him. He grunted at how he just woke up randomly and tried to go back to sleep. He couldn't see what time it was since there was no clock in the room so he thought it would be a good time to go and take a shower as so he wouldn't be late. He still hated that he was at a school but he didn't know where he was so he didn't have a choice in the matter. Going off on his own into an unknown world would just cause problems for him.

He grabbed his clothes and went to the door but as he walked out the door, he tripped on a box just laying on the floor and face planted on the floor.

He grunted in pain and said "Who puts a box by a door?! Honestly" as he turned around and grabbed the box.

He then saw that the package also has a note on it and a list of supplies on top of it with his name on it. Rex took the note and read it out loud, as the note reads.

"Dear, Rex Salazar,

I had completely forgotten about giving you your provisions for this academy. What we spoke about last night is still playing on loop in my head, but regardless, I boxed up all the supplies you will need to attend the classes here at Beacon Academy.

If you have any questions about your classes or the academy, meet me at my office. It is located in the large middle tower called Beacon Tower.

I'm hoping that this school won't be a problem to you and I hope you will have a fun time here. Don't forget to make many friends here. Have a nice day, young man.

Sincerely, Professor Ozpin

Headmaster of Beacon Academy.

P.S. Our doors are electronic locked so we have keys that can also be used as a communication device. It's called a scroll, which you can find in the box. Make sure to keep it on your personal at all times in order to unlock your door to your dorms as well as be able to communicate with others.

Rex then turned to the now closed door and jiggled the handle, which didn't move, confirming what he said was true.

"Son of a biscuit. Well I guess it wouldn't matter anyways if I had it or not" he thought as he remembered how he opened the door last night. He then sat on the ground and then ripped open the package and saw all the requirements he needed to attend Beacon.

First, the thing he took out from the box was the Beacon Academy Male School Uniform. The uniform itself consisted of a black suit lined with gold, accompanied by a blue vest and a white shirt with a red tie. Plus, it also came with black dress shoes in his size, and black dress socks.

Rex read the rules that students are allowed to customize their attire. Rex then remembered that the only things he wore on his person was the clothes on his back.

"These are the only clothes I have. I'm going to have to see what other clothes this world has. See if they have anything that matches my awesomeness" as he smirked in confidence.

Next, he took out a small device that appeared to be white a cylindrical object with a yellow, diamond-shaped button on its center. He then pushed the button as the object transformed into a translucent, touch-sensitive panel between two solid end grips, almost like an iPad.

"Woah. I take it this must be the scroll the teacher was talking" was all Rex said, since it looked like a small high-tech tablet.

"If only my phone could be that small" as he then thought of an idea and reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his phone.

He then touched the Wi-Fi icon as he opened up to connect to the Wi-Fi network of this school. He began to type the password "b3acon#" that was written on the note, now he was connected to the internet.

It worked but then he remembered that he needed the scroll to open the door. He then looked between his phone and the scroll and then tried to open the door with his phone but nothing seemed to work.

He sighed as he then did the same thing with the scroll as he then held the small tablet over the lock as the red light turned green, signaling the door is unlocked and turned the handle to open the door. He took the package with him as he stepped forward into the room.

Rex smiled as he then set the package on his bed, and continued to take all the necessary supplies he needs out and got all the school supplies he needs for each class.

He looked at his schedule and it showed the times for each class and his personal locker # with the code for the 9 digit keypad to type in. His schedule read...

Beacon Academy 1st Year Student Schedule

Name: Rex Salazar

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Rex raised his eyebrow at what the sheet said cause he was 17, not 16. But he then saw some text next to it as it said

"Apologizes of this isn't your age,Rex"

He just simply chuckled at the misprint and read on.

Team:RRWBY

Grade: 1st Year Student

Locker # 175/ Locker Code: 4-23-10. (Guess what this actual means)

3rd period: History of the world of Remnant with Professor Dr. Bartholomew Oobleck: 10:59 A.M - 11:49 A.M.

Rex raised his eyebrow as he thought "Ok, so there's a history class about this world. Not entirely sure how to feel about that but I don't have a choice. Guess I'll...have to really pay attention" as he still hated most school subjects but this one was his best bet at getting the lay of the land of this world.

He then continued on reading the other classes.

5th period- Dust Manipulation Class with Professor Peach: 1:28 P.M - 2:18 P.M.

Rex raised an eyebrow at the classes name as it was strange to him.

"Why are we learning about dirt, exactly?" asked Rex to himself. It seemed strange that they were be talking about dirt in a combat school. But he ignored it and continued on.

Free Period: 4:20 P.M. - 5:50 P.M.

Dinner: 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

Rex just curious about some of the classes but figured it'd be best to understand it better when he got to the class. But he still groaned as he saw what this new schedule was going to be like for him. He never had to stay in school and he wanted to keep it that way.

The only times that he ever went to school was when Breach trapped him in her own world and when he had to go to school to win that stupid ping pong tournament. He never liked school but he knew he had no choice now.

With no money or a place to sleep at, staying here was his best choice at surviving. Not to mention this place had a library so he could at least get some info on this world and maybe then he could get a better understanding of his surroundings.

But he knew this wasn't a normal school. This school was all about learning how to fight those creatures of Grimm, and he guessed protect this world from them.

He hoped that once he gets used to this school, he could still do some hero work even though this is not his world to protect.

Rex then set his schedule and everything else down except his new school clothes. He then walked towards the door and left to walk down the hall. He then stopped abruptly as he began patting his pockets, realizing he was missing something. He ran back to his door and tried to turn the handle but it wouldn't budge.

Rex slammed his head softly on the door as he said "Son of a biscuit."

He had forgotten his scroll.

Already off to a good start on the first day of his new school life.


(Cue This will be the Day by Jeff Williams)

{Instrumental}

(The scene opens up with Ruby Rose kneeling at Summer's gravestone near the Cliffside Forest, as Red petals are flying off of her.)

'They see you as small and helpless'

(In the midst of a snowstorm, she looks up and sees a figure wearing a white cloak, with a red interior, nearly identical to hers, that looks as if a person is wearing it before dissolving into white rose petals.)

'They see you as just a child'

(The moon then starts to scatter as the sky changes color, and a huge gust of wind kicks up snow and rose petals from Ruby's cloak.)

'Surprised when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild'

'Prepare for your greatest moments'

(The camera pans to the left with the snow and rose petals, revealing the title of the show.)

"The Evo of Remnant"

'Prepare for your finest hour'

(Weiss Schnee is seen under a spotlight in the Schnee training room , possibly preparing to sing as she closes her eyes.)

'The dream that you've always dreamed is suddenly about to flower'

(Blake Belladonna appears next on the screen, standing on a branch in Forever Fall forest, then disappearing suddenly when a branch passes over the camera. In the background, outlines of Adam Taurus's mask and face are seen over the moon.)

(Yang Xiao Long looks over the city where Junior's club is situated, as she is checking her scroll before looking up at dark clouds ahead of her as she then rides off on her motorcycle, BumbleBee, in a cloud of smoke and away from the city.)

'We are lightning'

(Several creatures of Grimm including dozens of Beowolves, Ursa, a Deathstalker, and a giant Nevermore flying at the camera are seen with some dark, mysterious shapes are over the grimm creatures.)

(Roman Torchwick and a few of his henchmen appear as Roman points his cane at the camera.)

'Straying from the thunder'

(The scene then bursts into fire, as the three silhouettes of Mercury Black, Emerald Sustrai and Cinder Fall are visible through the flames, as the camera zooms in on Cinder's right eye.)

'Miracles of ancient wonder'

(Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are preparing to fight a horde of shadowy, grimm creatures surrounding them, but before they attack, they all hear something over their heads and look up to see a gradient red looking circle above them. Suddenly, something orange and big falls out of the circle and the four get out of the way as it impacts the ground where they were.)

'This will be the day we've waited for'

(They turn their heads to see Rex Salazar, with his Smack hands out, as he leaps towards them and gets in a stance as he faces the grimm ahead of them. The girls smirk and do the same as they all start to charge towards the grimm and begin to fight them.)

'This will be the day we open up the door'

(Looking at a statue of a man and woman on a cliff over a Beowolf, Jaune Arc is joined by his teammates, which are Pyrrha Nikos, Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie, as they all look up to the sky to see Rex flying in with his Boogie pack and lands and props his elbow on the man's head as he just smirks at the group.)

'I don't wanna hear your absolution'

(Nora jumps and cheers, Ren bows his head, Pyrrha places her hand on her heart and bows to him, and Jaune tries to do the finger pistol but Rex just shakes his head in embarrassment but sees a Nevermore flying away so he activates his wings again and flies after it.)

'Hope you're ready for a revolution'

(Ozpin, holding his cane and his mug, and Glynda Goodwitch, with her scroll, look onward while at the railing of the front of the school's airship, which flies off as several smaller craft soar around it. Soon they turn to see Rex flying next to them as he gives them the thumbs up while soaring down into the Emerald Forest, while Glynda shakes her head in annoyance, while Ozpin merely smirks while he drinks his coffee.)

'Welcome to a world of new solutions' 'Welcome to a world of bloody evolution'

(A quick shot of each of the girls and Rex in Team RRWBY with their symbols: Ruby with a red rose symbol; Weiss with a white, stylized depiction of a snowflake; Blake with a black, stylized depiction of a belladonna flower; Yang with a yellow burning heart; and Rex with a spinning, orange gear; as the emblems appear before a black background.)

'In time, your heart will open minds'
'A story will be told'

(Ozpin and Glynda, Jaune and his teammates, Yang, Blake and Weiss all stand at the doors of Beacon Academy, and at the front is Ruby, wielding Crescent Rose, and Rex Salazar as he has his B.F.S. but soon brings it back into his arm. Soon Ruby looks over his shoulder at Rex as she holds Crescent Rose up as she cocks the gun back, while Rex just smirks as he holds his left hand up as blue lines appear on his hand.)

'And victory is in a simple soul'

(Soon, an orange and dark red slam together behind Rex and Ruby with each colors behind them, respectively, as the two friends look at each other, smiling as the title appears above them.)

"The Evo of Remnant"


Later

Rex had gotten out of the shower and had changed into his new clothes, which were consisted of the white shirt with a red tie, and the black pants, but he ditched the vest and kept his regular jacket, and his shoes.

Even when it wasn't much of the schools outfit, he kept tugging away at it, emphasizing how much he hated it.

"Man. Even though my time at Noah's school was short it was still better than this. I could wear normal clothes. Man, does this suit itch" as he complained all the way to his room. Rex then walked to his room and used his nanites to open the door as he then began gathering his belongings.

"Well at least I can customize it to what I want and not wear that monkey suit" said Rex as he then gathered his stuff and began heading to the girls room next door. He stopped at the door but remembered that this was a room full of girls and he couldn't just barge in. At least, not without getting pummeled to death and being labeled a pervert.

He walked up to the door and he knocked on the door and waited for a response.

Nothing.

He did it again.

Nothing.

But as he went for the third knock, the door opened slightly, revealing to be Yang, slightly giggling.

Before he could do anything, Yang grabbed his arm and yanked him inside, very cartoonishly.

Rex then looked around to see Blake sitting on a chair, fixing her hair, while he saw Ruby giggling while holding a whistle. Rex raised his eye at her holding it but then he looked over and saw that Weiss was still sound asleep.

Rex then got the understanding at the sisters snickering with Ruby holding a whistle. He stood next to Yang as he too began to snicker at what was about to happen. Ruby then walked over to Weiss's bed and the blew the whistle as loud as she could, which woke Weiss up and made her fall out of bed.

"Good morning team RRWBY" said Ruby as she rolled her r's.

"Ouch. What was that for?!" screamed Weiss as she got up but then heard loud laughing as she turned to see Rex and Yang laughing their heads off at Weiss's dilemma. Weiss just groaned in annoyance as brushed herself off.

"Now that you're awake we can begin our first order of business" said Ruby, cheerfully.

"Huh. What business?" questioned Rex as he knew he was behind on what exactly was going on.

"Decorating" said Yang as she was holding supplies.

"And we still need to unpack" said Blake holding a suitcase as clothes fell out as she then added "And clean."

"Alright. Blake, Yang, Weiss, Rex and their fearless leader, Ruby, have begun their first mission" shouted Ruby as Rex then saw all the girls grab their stuff and began decorating the room.

While they did that, Rex just pulled out his stuff his schedule and began reading over it again as he took a seat.

"Well 6th period is math so hopefully that will be fun. Then there's Remnant studies, 3 period, so that's going to be helpful" as he began to think more on his schedule.

As he then stopped looking at his schedule, he then remembered he got this worlds version of a smart phone, his own scroll. But he didn't know how it worked so that was going to be a pain in the butt to figure out. When he came back the girls were done decorating.

And the result after being done was a cluster of all the beds stacked up against each other along with various books and other materials.

"This isn't going to work" said Weiss, seeing the mess they made.

"Oh, ya think" snarked Rex causing Weiss to glare at his comment.

"It does seem to be cramped" said Yang as she looked at the cluttered mess.

"Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff" said Blake as she didn't like the mess either.

"Or we should ditch the beds" said Ruby and gasped as she said "and replace them with bunk beds."

Everyone agreed expect for Weiss and they began working on their rooms. Rex checked the time on his scroll and saw that it was a few minutes till the next class, so he decided he'd go on ahead and get to his first class.

Words he thought he would never hear again, and yet here he was. He grabbed his stuff and left for class as the girls did their magic.


Outside

Rex soon began walking down the hallway of the academy as he held up his schedule and began looking for the rooms.

"Sheesh. Probably should've asked him about that classes last night. It'll take years for me to find the bathrooms in this place" joked Rex as he kept on walking.

As Rex continued his search for his first class, he then heard a voice of the loudspeakers.

"5 minutes until 1st period begins. All students head for your first period classes."

Rex soon gulped in fear as he was on a short time crunch now.

He then crumbled his schedule into his pocket and said "Screw it, I've got to run to find it at this rate" and began running down the hallway. He moved past students in the hallways and kept turning corners. But it proved to be a bad idea, as just as he was turning around a corner, he ended up bumping into someone and fell to the ground with the person underneath him.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going" apologized Rex as he quickly stood up and had realized he had bumped into teenage girl with fair skin, short dark-brown hair, and dark-brown eyes. She had wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that began in dark brown and transitioned to caramel.

Her clothes consisted of a long, cocoa-colored shirt with a dark brown waist clincher. She wore long, dark brown trousers with ribbons on the left side. On her waist, she wore a brown belt with bullets. Above it, she wore another cocoa-colored belt of bullets with a gold crosshairs buckle. What appeared to be a drape of black skirt hung on her right side. Her footwear consisted of a pair of high heeled, leather boots with also wore a number of accessories, such a bracelet with black roses as decoration. These were accompanied by a pair of black gloves and necklaces. She also had on a beret of a darker brown and a pair of black, wire-rimmed aviator sunglasses. At the moments, she held a black shoulder bag with gold studs, which in turn was held by a bandolier strap.

Just as he held out his hand, he felt someone grab his uniform and made him face him as he heard a loud voice say "Hey, whats the big idea pushing our leader to the ground!?"

As Rex faced the loud voice, he was able to see who it was. Standing before him was a tall and athletic-looking young man with shaved-short black hair and tanned skin, wearing mostly pale-green and brown attire.

He had on a long short-sleeved robe, which he wore on one shoulder over a black muscle shirt. The robe is fastened at the waist by a leather armored belt with two pouches on it. He also wore brown pants and black-and-green boots. His left arm had a 5-layer sode which extended up past his shoulder. His weapon is affixed to his back with a padded brown strap slung over his shoulder.

He was glaring at Rex as he held Rex in one hand and a clenched fist with the other.

As Rex was being threatened, he managed to catch a glimpse of the others that were around him.

Rex looked over to the man's right and saw that it was a girl with long, brown hair and brown eyes. She appeared to be no older than him. She wore a short, long-sleeved brown jacket with a golden zipper, brown shorts with golden detail and black leggings. She also wore a black, semi-translucent undershirt beneath her jacket, along with golden spaulders and vambraces on both arms, as well as a similar belt, and her heels and toes are likewise protected. But what really surprised him was the fact that she had bunny ears on her head.

"Wait, bunny ears? Are those real or just an accessory?" thought Rex as he then looked over and saw another person.

The person beside her was a teenage boy with dark skin and dark, messy copper hair. His hair extended into a long fringe and it also had a cowlick.

He wore a sleeveless, muted orange zipper vest with black lining and a high collar, a pair of black jeans, and brown, laced shoes. His eyes appeared to be pure white, giving off the appearance that he was blind. His arms were covered in scars, and he had a vertical scar that ran over his lips. He also wore a pair of long black gloves and had several pouches attached to his belt. His weapons appear to be a pair of orange gauntlets with blades attached as they were worn across his arms.

Rex then turned back and saw the man was about to slug him until he heard a voice saying "Yatsuhashi, calm down. It was an accident. I don't want my teammates getting into trouble. Now put the man down before we cause more of a scene" said a voice behind him.

The hulking man grumbled and then set Rex down on the ground.

Rex dusted off his suit as he stepped back and saw the whole group of teens together. Rex then looked over and saw the girl he bumped into had gotten up on her own.

Rex bowed as he said "Sorry for bumping into you. I was in a hurry and I didn't think about anyone around the corner. Sorry" as he hoped he didn't already make an enemy already.

The girl with sunglasses sighed as she said "Eh, no harm done. Now had you tore my clothes or broke my glasses... I might've castrated you" as she smiled at him, but Rex could tell there was some hint of truth there. Not to mention, her smile had a very sinister feel to it.

Rex sweat dropped at what she said as he looked over at the other four and asked "She wouldn't really do that, right?" as he felt nervous now.

"She hasn't done it before but I bet if push come to shove, yea she could" said the copper haired boy.

Rex just chuckled nervously as he said "Sorry about bumping into you. Not exactly how I like to introduce myself. I normally have a more awesome introduction than this. Names Rex. Rex Salazar" as he held out his hand while smirking.

The girl in front of him looked down at his hand then back to him and lowered her glasses, giving him a "Really" kind of look. Rex began to think that she still might be salty about bumping into her, but she then chuckled as she shook his hand.

"Well, you seem to be very confident in yourself. I can respect that. Names Coco, leader of Team CFVY" said the girl, now known as Coco. Rex then internally chuckled how her name and her team name was related to Coffee.

Did this world have a thing for making puns and weird ways with team names or what?

Rex nodded his head in acknowledgment as he began to feel more relaxed now. Coco then let go of his hand as she then pointed to the members of her team.

"And this is my merry band of misfits. Big guy here is Yatsuhashi" as she pointed at the big guy that almost punched Rex as he just gave him a slight bow while having a stern face on.

"Next to him is Fox" said Coco as Rex looked at the copper haired boy as he held up a peace sign.

"And the cute rabbit girl over there is Velvet" said Coco as she pointed to the last member as she waved at him.

"I see. Well, as much I would like to talk, but mainly not get ripped limb from limb from big guy here..." as he pointed at Yatsuhashi, making him grunt in an irked manner, "...I really have to find this Professor Port, since his class is about to start and I don't want to be in trouble on the first day."

"Don't you mean second?" said Coco to Rex.

"Uh... yea that's what I meant, heh heh" chuckled Rex in a nervous laugh.

"Right. Well his class is down the hall and look up for a sign that has his name on it" said Coco as she pointed down the hallway.

"Thanks. Gotta go. Sorry for bothering you, Team Coffee pot" joked Rex as he began jogging down the hallway.

"That's Team CFVY" yelled Fox to Rex in an annoyed manner.

"I know what I said" said Rex in a mocking manner as he made his way down the hallway.

Coco chuckled as she said "Well he certainly is an odd one. Calling us by a name like that. I ought to slap him upside the head for making fun of us, but he seems alright" in playful tone, meaning she wasn't going to actually but just felt like she should.

"Even after he bulldozed over you" said Fox to Coco.

"Eh, not the worst experience I've had with men" said Coco as she began walking of towards her class, to Glynda's combat class, hence why they were wearing their battle uniforms and not school uniforms.

As the group began to walk away, Ozpin and Glynda were watching from the sides as they saw Rex walk by.

"That boy is truly a strange one, wouldn't you say?" said Glynda to Ozpin.

"Yes I do. But I also believe that he's truly remarkable. He seems to be fitting in nicely with the rest of the students here. I just hope we can keep his abilities under wraps for the time being" said Ozpin.

"Still makes me worry what happen if people do learn of his powers. More about our friend from Atlas" said Glynda as Ozpin just hummed "uh huh" as he sipped his coffee.


Professor Port's room

Rex had made it to class and he opened the door to a smaller amphitheater type room. He saw that there were other students there, waiting for class to begin.

"Ah welcome to class young man" boomed a voice, which made Rex jump in surprise. He turned to the voice and saw an old man, who he supposed was their teacher, cause of the way he dressed.

The man wore a double-breasted burgundy suit with gold piping and buttons. The pants he wore were tucked into olive boots, similar in appearance and construction to cavalry boots. He has gray hair, a gray mustache and appeared to be slightly overweight. This was Professor Peter Port, the teacher of Grimm Studies.

"Uh yes. Hello there" said Rex awkwardly.

"I see you came alone. Where is your other teammates. Its...oh... 8:59 and 55 seconds. .60. And..."

Suddenly the doors came busting open and the remaining members of RRWBY and JNPR came tumbling into the room

"We're not late!" cried Yang in happiness.

"By one second, Ms. Xiao Long. Next time please try to be here sooner. Like your teammate here. He arrived sooner than you four. Perhaps you should lead by his example" said Port as Rex looked down at his teammates and just shrugged his shoulders.

"We are sorry, Professor Port. We'd just woke up late and-" said Weiss as she tried to say something in her defense but was cut off by the professor.

"It doesn't matter why you were almost late. The point is that you're all here now on your first day of class. So, please take your seats." Port instructed waving towards the front row. As soon as Team RRWBY and JNPR took their seats, their first class had begun.


Short timeskip

"Monsters, Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!" exclaimed Port with no one paying attention to him except for Blake and Yang, Weiss who was taking notes, Ruby who has her head propped in her hand as she takes a quick nap until she is woken back up by Port's bad joke, which receives a cricket-filled silence as a result. And Rex was trying his best not to fall asleep as well.

"Uhhhh... And you shall to a pint graduating 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 teaming with creatures that would love nothing more that you tear you to pieces! Huntsman! Huntresses..." said Port as he stopped to wink without opening his brown eyes at Yang who groaned uncomfortably.

"Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves From what, you ask? Why, the very world!" said the professor dramatically with one random male student raising his fist screaming "Ayyyy-yep!" in the background, causing everyone to look at him strangely as he sat back down embarrassed.

"That is what you are trying to become. First a story, I tell the young handsome man... ME! When I was a boy..." said Port as he trailed off into his story.

"If he is what counts as handsome, I hate to see what counts as ugly" said Rex, whispering into Yang's ear getting a snicker in response.

Rex just toned out the rest of the story only hearing something about smelling cabbages and the professor's own grandfather.

Rex was starting to get bored of this class already. He hadn't been this bored since the last Providence debriefing. Rex just groaned as he was bored at the man's constant talk about him, him, him. Rex then pulled out his schedule and took at look at the time schedule of the classes.

"Well at least its short" he thought as then pulled out his scroll. He opened it up as he tried to figure out how it worked, being new and everything to him. He saw that it had a phone icon on it so he knew what that one would do. He also saw it had some folders on it with names of his classes on them

"Guess they're for me later today. I guess..."

"Mr. SALAZAR" boomed about voice, which made Rex fall back in his chair in surprise.

He got back up in a hurry and ended up flinging his scroll down the steps, making clacking noises at it hit them. This made the teacher look down and raise his eyebrows (but not open his eyes) as he turned to Rex, who was sweating nervously as he then said,

"Are my class really that boring that you'd rather play on your scroll?" said Port in a bothered manner.

'Yes' thought Rex but said "No" in actuality.

The teacher stroked his mustache in ponder as he said "Ok then, what was it I said a little bit ago?" he said, acting serious.

Rex just stuttered nervously as he didn't know what it was. He decided to just wing it and say what he had heard him say before

"Umm, talking about your past with Grimm. Mustache power, maybe" as he shrugged his shoulders.

Silence filled the room as it was then broken by the teacher saying "You are correct but if you're going to be a huntsman, then I suggest you take these classes seriously. Also, my mustache may be undefeated by any other mustache in Remnant but I wouldn't say "Mustache power" like an fool" scolded the teacher.

Rex sighed as he said "Yes, sir" and he then slumped in his chair and laid his head on his desk in embarrassment.

Yang just patted his back as she said "Don't feel bad. I get bored with this class too"

The teacher continued on about his life and Rex still was bored with it. He honesty just wanted fly out the window but he knew he needed more information about the new world he was in. So far, he got what he learned from his first encounter with Grimm.

They're mean, aggressive, and turn into dust when you kill them. While all that was helpful, it didn't help that the teacher was annoying as sin.

As the man kept talking, Rex looked over and saw Ruby, drawing Port which showed a ball-with-limbs-and-a-head drawing of the teacher with stink lines coming from him and "Professor Poop" written underneath.

They laughed along with Blake and Yang at the little red riding hood's creation as she blew a quick raspberry while Weiss had an annoyed expression on her face.

"Ah-heh-hem! In the end, the Beowolf was no match for mysheertenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high, celebrated as a hero!" said Professor Port with a bow while Weiss was slowly getitng more frustrated at Ruby's antics.

"The moral of the story? A true huntsman must be honorable! A true husband must be dependable! A true Huntsman must b be strategic well educated and wise! So, who among you believe themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?" asked Professor Port to his class.

Rex was beginning to drift off to sleep until he heard Weiss yelled, which woke him up, saying "I do sir!"

"Well then let's find out. Step forward and face your opponent" said Port as he pointed to a cage with something growling at it.

"Well. Can't wait to see how this'll turn out" thought Rex.

Weiss faced the cage with her Rapier in her hand. Rex then heard the girl cheering her on so he thought about cheering her too. "Go Ice Queen. Freeze that things sorry butt."

"Quit calling me that. I'm trying to focus" yelled Weiss as the man said "Let's begin" and chopped off the lock and out popped what looked like, in Rex's eyes, a boar but in the same color scheme and design as big bird yesterday.

"They all seem to have similar color patterns in them. Black, white, red, and yellow in their eyes. So then where exactly do they come from?" thought Rex as he saw Weiss struggling to fight the boar but flipped it up and stabbed its stomach. Then she glared at Ruby and stormed out. He then saw Ruby follow her. Rex decided to follow them.

"Weiss!" called out Ruby in worry as her partner turned around to face her.

"What?" snapped Weiss, sounding like she was struggling not to cry.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you being-?" asked Ruby but was cut off by Weiss.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? You're supposed to be a leader and all you've been so far is a nuisance!" shouted Weiss to Ruby.

Ruby on her part just looked really confused of why she is yelling at her.

"What did I do?" asked Ruby as she scoffed.

"That's just it - you've done nothing to earn your position! Back in the forest, you acted like a child, and you've only continue to do so!" argued Weiss in frustration.

"Weiss, where is this coming from? What happened to all the talk about, 'working together'? I thought you believed in acting as a team" asked Ruby as she was getting a little bit scared.

"Not a team led by you. I've studied and trained. And quite frankly, I deserve better. Ozpin made a mistake" finished Weiss as she went walking off, much to the shock of her teammates.

"Hmm. Now that didn't seem to go very well" said Ozpin from out of nowhere, scaring everyone.

"Whoa! We're did you come from?" asked Blake.

"Man, that's creepy" thought Rex.

He saw that Ruby had a look of depression on her face as she looked at Ozpin.

"Is she right? Did you make a mistake?" asked Ruby to the headmaster, sounding sad making her look like a kicked puppy as she was on the verge of tears.

"That remains to be seen" replied the headmaster as he laughed slightly.

"What do you mean?" asked Ruby, confusedly.

"I mean, it's only been one day Ruby... I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet. But at this moment, I would not consider your appointment to leader to be one of them" exaggerated the headmaster as he leaned in closely to look more directly at his most intriguing student.

"Do you?" asked Ozpin to Rex.

Rex began rubbing the back of his head as he said "To be honest, I don't know you that well, Red, but you know one thing being a team leader isn't something you just carry on the battlefield you always have to be on guard in case someone were to try and hurt you your teammates or someone you care for" as he recalled something that Six once told him.

"Yes, as Mr. Salazar stated, Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle, but a badge you wear constantly. If you're not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give othersto follow you?" finished Ozpin as he walked away.

"Maybe he's right. Maybe I am not cut out to be leader" said Ruby as she was now looking dejected as she was almost about to cry with a few tears building up and now streaking down her cheek as she let her emotions out.

Until she felt a hand on her shoulder as she turned to see Rex with his hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her.

"Ruby, don't cry. Being a leader isn't about is the strongest or the smartest. It's about what's in here your heart" said Rex putting his hand on his heart.

"Yes, there are going to be times you're going to mess up, but we're only human we all make mistakes but its our choice if we get back up and try again" finished Rex as he began walking towards their next class.

Ruby couldn't help but feel better after Rex's and Ozpin's speech. She then began to walk towards Weiss to talk to her.


Beacon Academy Rooftops(During Ruby's talk)

Weiss kept storming away from her "leader" as she still was angry that such a childish girl became her leader of their team. So far, coming to Beacon for her hasn't started off the best. When she arrived, Ruby bumped into her and sneezed on the fire dust cylinders of hers, resulting in a big explosion. Then she had to deal with Ruby's immaturity.

Then, to make matters more frustrating to her, she met a boy with completely unexplainable powers and abilities that no one knew how they were possibly and she now had to keep them secret by order of the headmaster, so she's been limited to learning his secrets without actually seeing them. And now Ruby was her team leader and she hasn't taken the class seriously.

Ugh, it was just so frustrating here. For once, she wanted a break.

As she kept storming off and complaining about her time at Beacon, she soon saw out of the corner of her eyes Professor Port, leaning on a stone railing and gazing at the school grounds.

"Professor Port!" exclaimed Weiss as she approached the Grimm Studies professor.

"Ah, Miss Schnee what do I owe this fine pleasure?" asked Professor Port.

"I... I enjoyed your lecture!" replied the SDC heiress, nervously.

"Of course you did, child; you have the blood of a true Huntress in you" said, Peter arrogantly.

"You really think so?" asked Weiss as she smiled hopefully.

"Most surely!" said Professor Port as her began to notice the deterred look on her face.

"Hmm, is there something troubling you" he asked.

"Yes" answered Weiss.

"Dear, girl. Confess to me your strife" he said in a cheerful way.

"Well... I-I think I should have been the leader of Team RWBY!" responses Weiss in confidence.

The aging professor just stared at her with no change in his expression.

"That's preposterous" replied Port, bluntly.

"Excuse me?!" asked Weiss, angrily to the teacher.

"I've believed in Professor Ozpin for many years, and the man's never once led me astray!" stated Professor Port to the SDC heiress.

"So you would just blindly accept his decision even after seeing how exceptional I am?" asked Weiss, confusedly.

"With all due respect, your exceptional skill on the battlefield is matched only by your poor attitude" responded the Grimm Studies Professor.

"How dare you!" exclaimed Weiss as she raised her voice in offense.

"You just proved my point. I see a girl before me who's spent her entire life getting exactly what she wanted" said Port bluntly.

"That is not even remotely true" responded Weiss, crossing her arms.

"Well... not entirely true" added Weiss, sheepishly, as she looked to the side of her.

"So the outcome didn't fall in your favor. Do you really believe that acting in such a manner would cause those in power to reconsider their decision? 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" finished Professor Port, walking away, leaving Weiss to think about her thoughts, while Ruby just watched from a distance and walked away from her.

She then began to head towards second period along with the rest of her teammates.


Timeskip to tonight

It was night time and Rex trundled his way back to his room. His teammates were still eating and chatting in the cafeteria but Rex was tired and wanted to sleep but then Rex saw a note on the door of the room he was staying in.

"Dear Mr. Salazar, we finally managed to out another bed into RWBY's dorm. Now, you can stay with your new teammates."

Best of luck, Ozpin.

Rex sighed as he soon made his way into the room. As he walked up to the door, he just put his hands on the door and opened in manually with his nanites since he didn't want to pull out his scroll. He saw that the girls room looked... pretty unstable but he didn't care.

He saw a bed in the middle of the room and collapsed on the bed and just laid there.

"Man was this day exhausting" he said as he began to recall everything that happened on his first day in the classes here.


Flashback

After 1st period, they went to an art class for 2nd period with a teacher named Professor Lisa Verde. She was a nice teacher and very helpful. It was an improvement over Port's class. Their first assignment was to make a sculpture out of clay blocks. Everyone did their own thing but Rex had trouble making a sculpture and just made a simple sword. And lets just say, the teacher wasn't amused.

Third period was the history of Remnant with a professor named Oobleck and first impressions of the man was... he was crazy. He kept speaking way too fast and he had trouble keeping up but this was the class Rex really wanted to get to. He soon learned about the faunas in this world and how they were apparently like Demi-humans, like he heard about back hime. He then remembered seeing Velvet's ears as he now understood.

"Guess its a good thing I didn't ask if her ears were fake or not. Would've made thing super awkward" thought Rex on what might've happened if he tried to feel her ears to see if they were real.

He knew that if he wanted get the feel of his surroundings, this was the class to get that info. He also learned that there once was a war between Faunus and humans and how it still continues to this day. Rex was shocked by the news and began to think back to his days during the years he worked at Providence. People didn't like him because he was what was plaguing their world.

"Guess that's one thing this world and mine have in common" he thought.

Next was combat class and he knew that he could easily do well in that class if he used his builds, but he still didn't want to make a scene. Sadly, he couldn't stay hidden for long as he was called down to try some combat.

Glynda knew about him only been given a weapon yesterday, but she still had him use it to duel against a student. To her surprise, he did better than she thought but he still fumbled around with it at times. But then again, he was taught by the 6th most deadliest man on the planet.

Lunch was next and Rex was glad to see they had meatloaf and mashed potatoes here. If he couldn't get it for every Friday, he was just going to leave this academy for good. Ok, not really but he'd be very upset and would've taken that complaint to Ozpin himself.

Next was Dust manipulation and Rex was curious what exactly they were going to learn with dirt. But it wasn't what he was expecting. The teacher, Professor Peach, began talking about Dust and how it's used in weapons, appliances, and other items. So Rex soon learned how everything, from ammunition for weapons, fuel for vehicles, home appliances, and communication technology were all dependent on dust as a power source. So it made rex wonder if there was any nuclear weapons in this world or not.

While it was helpful to understand it, let's just say, not knowing how dust works proved to be a very bad thing. Since Rex didn't know what dust was, it made things more complicated for him to try and understand how they work. And soon, Peach had students try to experiment with dust crystals for a bit, but not knowing how they worked, well...

...Let's just say, they were going to have to find a new classroom until the teachers could get the fire under control and fix the room. Rex just hid himself in his coat in embarrassment at his predicament.

6th was mathematics and lucky for Rex, it was trigonometry. Something he easily understood so that class wasn't a problem. He was pretty much a math wizard and could pass it easily.

7th was chemistry and considering what happened with dust, Rex was given a partner to help him as so they didn't want to have to deal with another class incident.

The rest was for them to do what ever they wanted to do so Rex had decided to go to their library, yea you heard me library, to see about getting more info on the place. Then it came to supper time and after stuffing his face, he went back to the room and collapsed on his bed.


End of Flashback

When it came closer to the actual curfew time, everyone went to sleep. The girls,minus Weiss, made it back to the dorms and heard snoring. They saw Rex had fallen asleep and decided to try and not disturb him. After that, everyone went to sleep.

Except for Ruby.

What happened this morning replay hit hard for her since she now realized the gravity of her position, or situation. After what Weiss had said to her, she figured she had to try and buckle down and focus on work if she were to show Weiss that she can be their leader. But after reading over some papers, she soon fell asleep.

Later that night, Weiss made it back to the dorms after doing some thinking and walked quietly into the room and snuck over to Ruby's bed and carefully tried not to wake the others from their sleep.

She moved over to her bed and saw Ruby sleeping with papers and books on her bed. She then poked Ruby on the shoulder and Ruby woke up.

She then began rambling "Sorry Weiss. I was studying and I fell asleep and...and" but Weiss shushed her saying "How do you like your coffee?"

Ruby was surprised by this as she said "Cream and 5 sugars."

"Here you go"offered Weiss.

She then looked back at Ruby and said "Ruby. I think you have what it takes to be a leader. And I'll try and be the best teammate that you could ever have. Good luck studying" as Weiss jumped down. As she carefully stepped over Rex, heading to the door and said "By the way Ruby. I always wanted bunk beds as a kid" as she closed the door.

Rex smirked as he had heard the whole conversation. Yea, the girls weren't very quite and woke Rex up but he was just too relaxed to open his eyes or move.

"It's only the first day but I hope that those two will be good friends in the future" thought Rex as he went back to sleep.
