A/N: So, uh 2nd chapter. This was much better recived than what i originaly thought it would be. I thought i would be shunned into oblivion but HEY, all is good. Anyways, some people had some interesting reviews that i want to awnser.
breakingamble: I completely agree with you, but the thing is, it's the second season of RWBY, so the girls still have a long way to go, hence why i didn't want to give 'em urban nightmare status for each of them right on the start. But worry not! They will get stronger. As for the OCs wearing other people's pages… It's what they were wearing during the reception, but its bound to change so they can have each a chance to shine, yes, it also means that they will ditch the Key Pages to have their own. And yes, it is very fun to write character stats on the Ruina format.
P.S: I've read your story on best boy Yan and i can't wait for more!
Quest: I can't look at you and not think of the old-school roblox quest accounts… Anyways, I do plan on bringing more people but… Yeah, Xiao is currently fighting Geb, as her arena got sent to another floor, after winning against the Floor of General Works. I tried doing a XiaoXRWBY on Wattpad but… It didn't go as planned. I won't be leaving for a while so you can rest easy my man.

"That scheming bastard, I refuse to be a part of this nonsense!" Francisco, the bald one, exclaimed, tearing the medical equipment off his body and getting up from the bed. On his left, lay his still unconscious partner, Fred, and on his right, Bemaia, trying to calm him down. "It's not as bad as it seems."
"Becoming heroes to battle the dark and safeguard humanity? That is bullshit! As if people cared enough about each other!" baldy cursed, clear disdain showing in his voice "Last time someone tried to play 'hero' he became a fucking book, and now you're telling me, your goal is to create heroes? Go fuck yourself, Headmaster." Bemaia cut in through Francisco's loud rant and sneaked in a question "Will we get paid for it?" With that single question, Baldy ceased his rant to listen for the headmaster's answer.
The headmaster sighed "My name is Ozpin, thank you for asking." he then straightened his posture "And yes, while there will be payment involved after you acquire your huntsmen licenses, you first have to-" Francisco intervened, cutting in mid-explanation "Why didn't you say that before! Just bring me the papers and let's get down to it!" his once furious expression changed rapidly into a joyous smile, completely unbefitting in his face filled with scars. "As I was saying, you first have to earn your place here at Beacon, and after three years worth of training, you'll be granted a license to act out missions as a huntsman."
Baldy's smile never left his face during Ozpin's explanation, a plan was already forming inside his mind. "Are you certain that we can join your academy, Headmaster? Though we don't have anywhere else to go, I don't think it's wise to just pick random teens on the streets." Bemaia asked, carefully taking off the needle piercing his arm, much to the doctor's disdain. "It may seem random, but it's not. I've seen your fight against that monstrous figure on top of that mysterious wall. I've seen how you all fight… somewhat recklessly, but on top of that, you fight as a unit. And… I'm sorry for your loss."
"Caio did get messed up, but I'm sure he's fine." Bemaia said calmly, remembering how his fellow librarian was sliced in half by Xiao, much to Ozpin's surprise "Uh, he's surely in a better place now." Baldy couldn't help but let out a sour laugh. "He doesn't know man." Francisco said "He turned into a cloud of pages, he'll get turned back to normal by Angela eventually." he said, doubt entering his mind "Hopefully."
Ozpin was somewhat confused by the duo, saying things without context, but he was sure that they meant no harm by it. "If you say so." the headmaster continued "I'll give you three some time to recover, but soon you'll have to earn your spot here in Beacon."
Francisco was quick to counter "I don't need any more rest." He said, standing up on the hospital bed, "Throw me to the wolves Ozpin!" he exclaimed, punching his chest in exasperation. "Yeah, I want to see him getting shit on , so I'll go along just to watch, but I'll also take the rest, thank you." Bemaia answered, earning a nod from the headmaster. "Are you certain that you are ready? Because you could die during the test." Ozpin tried to be as threatening as possible, apparently failing. "Yeah, sorry Ozpin, that won't work on me. I've died twice due to my previous job! Dying once more ain't nothin' to worry about." Baldy said, his memories of Lobotomy Corporation still fresh on his mind.
Ozpin hummed "You're not the brightest of individuals are you?" which in turn prompted a quick nod from Bemaia. "Hey, I was born and raised in the backstreets so gimme a break ok?" Bemaia simply shrugged in response. Ozpin smiled "You seem like an honest individual, Francisco. Though you are an odd one, you'll fit right in with the other students here." Ozpin opened the door and signaled for Francisco to follow him "Please, don't hesitate to call me in case of any accidents doctor." the doctor simply nodded.
As they walked through the corridors of Beacon, Bemaia raised his hand and asked, "Hey, Ozpin, I got a question about this test." Ozpin turned to him "The test consists of a written test, just the basics of Grimm Studies and Dust Chemistry, then, a trial you'll have to go through at emerald forest. If that wasn't your question, ask away." Bemaia nodded in understanding "But Ozpin, all the students here passed your test, then they are all qualified fighters, yes?" Ozpin nodded in approval, not knowing where his line of thought was going. "Then, that means that they are all capable fighters, and by definition, worthy of this Academy." Ozpin once again nodded, "Then, all we need to do is beat a student to prove we are worthy of joining, no?"
Ozpin stopped dead in his tracks, as he stared at Bemaia, which prompted the two librarians to stop as well. The headmaster kept still for a few seconds, his neutral expression unchanging. He opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it again after thinking about it once again. The librarians looked at each other, both shrugged in complete silence. The bald one took the opportunity to have a better look at his surroundings.
The architecture was top-notch. The walls, made with the finest of materials, filled with pillars thrice his size, all covered in very small decals and minuscule letters, but none was the same, almost as if the pillars told a story. If only Baldy could read he could appreciate the school more. "This corridor looks a whole lot like the Central Command Team's, filled with those fancy pillars and fancy details." He hummed, as memories of his days in L Corp came back. 'Ah, that sweet aroma. How could I ever forget it…' He blinked, breaking away from his trance, then promptly slapping his own face. "Concentrate ya damn fool!"
Ozpin finally spoke "I shall tell you the rules of sparring on school grounds, then, Professor Goodwitch will instruct you after. For now, I'll show you where you'll spar, then, you shall wait until the next combat class," He checked his scroll "That will start in ten minutes. I've already requested your equipment to be delivered there." Both librarians nodded. Bemaia couldn't help but smirk, his plan worked better than expected.
—
The rules have been set. No more fighting if the 'Aura' fell below the red portion; No more fighting if someone leaves the arena; No more fighting if someone forfeits. With that being said, Francisco only heard those four rules, he was too enthralled with the sheer size of the dedicated place for the student's training, not to mention the number of students there to watch his test. "Damn, it sure is crowded huh?" he bumped his elbow on his fellow librarian that sat near him who just yawned in response "Sorry dude, I still haven't fully recovered. I'm just here to see you getting shit on." the bald one laughed "I sure hope so! It's been some time, I hope they are a challenge." Francisco said as he inspected his blade "It's not like we had our asses handed to us by an angry widow." Francisco lowered his head in shame "Well, at least it's a lesson we've been thoroughly taught!" Bemaia raised his eyebrow "Don't mess with the man of a lovestruck woman?" Francisco nodded in approval "Don't mess with the man of a lovestruck woman, especially if she's known for kicking ass regularly."
Soon enough, a blond woman arrived carrying a few papers. When she entered, the snickering around the room immediately stopped, then, after she got to the center of the arena surrounded by bleachers she started speaking "Good morning students," a few students answered back with a weak and tiered 'Gook morning' but the professor cared not "For those of you who don't know, I am professor Glynda Goodwitch, instructor of today's class." The librarians looked at each other "Today's class will be a peculiar one. Today I will select a random student to spar with one of our new students in order to test their skills." The students' energy soon came back to them, questions already started circulating. "Francisco, please come here and introduce yourself to the rest of the class."
The bald one quickly got up from his seat "That's me, Wish me luck!" he said, unfortunately, it was quickly countered with "I won't." coming from his fellow librarian. He quickly entered the arena and stood beside Glynda, he struggled to see due to the sheer intensity of the light coming from above him. Francisco wore the uniform of the Shi Association, a full black and red, somewhat tight, attire. A big '4' was stripped on his upper right arm. On his side, laid the black hilt and sheath of his Shi Association standard-issue Tachi. His face was covered in burn marks and scars. "Hello everyone! The name's Francisco and I hope we'll have a good match!" he said.
"Now, for the randomly chosen opponent…"Glynda took out her scroll "This is the same mechanism that will be used in the upcoming Vytal festival, so get used to it everyone." a holographic image of Francisco appeared near the walls, next to it another image, this time, it was cycling randomly through the photos of the students. After the press of a button, the cycling soon came to a halt. The hologram had the face of a blue-eyed, blond student, after a second, his name appeared beneath his photo, though, baldy couldn't read his opponent's name, Glynda soon yelled out for him "Mister Jaune Arc, I hope your skills have improved. Come down to the arena and face your opponent!"
The blond soon got up from his seat, snickering forming around the arena. Though he couldn't tell where the snickering came from, Francisco could tell that the majority of the students liked to make fun of the lad. "It would be a shame if I did him the dirty." He muttered under his breath so only he could hear. Once Jaune was inside the arena, Goodwitch left it, leaving the room for the spar. "I hope you're prepared, Jaune." The baldy said, lowering his stance as his right hand hovered above the hilt of his sword, "I hope so too." Jaune said, sweat dripping down from his forehead, as he raised his shield and readied his sword.
Above them, two holographic Aura meters appeared, one of them, Jaune's, was full while the other was completely empty. "This spar will be somewhat different. You may treat him as if he had Aura. If he can't compete anymore I shall step in to stop so don't hold back." she bit her lip, not liking the idea of someone fighting auraless. Both combatants stared at each other, waiting for the signal to start the fight. "You'll have 10 minutes, after that, I shall decide who won the match." She pauses for a second "Begin!"

"Begin!" was all he heard after the world around him seemed to slow down. His opponent had his shield up, protecting his upper body, as his sword was behind, readying to strike him. Francisco dashed towards Jaune, slashing his shield upwards forcing it to be flung upwards as Jaune's stance was instantly broken. Before the blonde had time to react, another blow came from his upper left after he watched the baldy quickly spin his blade on its axis to align it with Jaune's exposed side. Jaune's aura took the blow, a small portion of it being drained.
Jaune could help but curse under his mouth "Shit!" His movements were too fast for someone without aura. He couldn't read him as Pyrrha told him to. Soon, another blow came, this time a piercing strike, thankfully he managed to block it with his shield, but was still sent flying due to the sheer impact of the blow, some distance between the two was created in the process.
Francisco sheathed his blade and returned to his low stance. 'Should I do it to him?' It's been less than 6 seconds and he is already tired. Eh. Fuck it. "You sure are giving me your all Jaune Arc. Don't you think it would be disrespectful if I didn't go all out?" Jaune swallowed and sweat dropped from his face. "No hard feelings, yeah?" Francisco took a step forward, dashing towards his opponent. Jaune could only raise his shield in response before the baldy was already on top of him. 'Let's hope it hits. It would be embarrassing if it didn't.'
Jaune watched as his opponent drew his blade, blue sparkles surrounded the red blade as it was being drawn, the moment he blinked, Francisco was gone. Jaune blinked again, his shield was sliced in twain, and then he felt it. Before he could lament for his grandfather's shield, he felt his aura being instantly broken. Thankfully, the blow stopped at his armor, it finally served for something aside from hindering his movement. His consciousness failed him, his aura being instantly depleted cost him much of his willpower to not faint instantly, but now, the pain was finally catching up to him. The baldy stood behind Jaune, looking at his back as his opponent fell to the ground.
Glynda instantly declared the end of the spar "That's Match!" as three strangely garbed individuals ran towards the arena.
—
The bald one stretched, 'Man that felt good' he thought, 'Not a single drop of blood as well. This aura thing means business!' he internalized, wondering what other kinds of advantages aura could give someone. But there was one thing bothering him. Why were there three teenagers bothering him? One of them is threatening to break his legs, a girl with orange hair, while the other, a boy with black and pink hair, is constantly impeding her advance on Francisco. But the last one, the one that had his attention, was the girl with the red hair. Her emerald eyes silently analyzed him, silently planned something. "Anyway, can't say it was a good match but I know for certain the boy needs to spend some money to get decent body enhancements, his current ones probably failed." the bald one said, turning to the professor.
Before Glynda could comment on the fight, the red-haired girl shouted, "I challenge you to a duel." pointing towards Francisco. Glynda quickly caught what she was trying to do 'I should deny her, but… 10 seconds was all it took to take poor Jaune down… I know how she must feel. Since Pyrrha is the most dedicated student in her class, I'll let it slide.' Glynda cleared her throat "Considering that was a rather quick fight, I'll allow another one. Do you accept her challenge, Francisco?"
His eyes widened slightly, he just realized what he'd done. 'Don't mess with the man of a lovestruck woman, especially if she's known for kicking ass regularly.' His own words came back to bite him in the ass. "He was right, I will get my ass beaten." He chuckled slightly, noticing his fellow librarian, trying not to laugh. "I accept your challenge, miss. I hope we have a good battle." The young girl smiled a devious smile, he swallowed "And so do I." Glynda huffed "Very well. This next fight will be Francisco against Pyrrha Nikos. The fight can take up to 8 minutes, after that I will intervene and declare a victor." Both fighters nodded, as Jaune was carried to the infirmary by his two teammates. The bald one adopted his low stance once again, as Pyrrha, much like Jaune, readied her shield in front of her and sword high as she slightly bent her knees. 'She is dangerous. Clearly, she has experience from these types of spars.' He took a deep breath. "Begin!"

He took a deep breath and readied himself for the worse, 'If this is anything like Xiao, I'll fucking lose it.' His hand hovered over his Tachi waiting for the match to - "Begin!" Both fighters immediately leaped at each other, his blade clashing against her shield. The impact would have sent anyone flying away, but she was already too accustomed to overwhelmingly strong opponents. She stood her ground as he pressed his blade against her shield. Tilting her shield slightly, the blade came down, using the opportunity, she stomped the sword to the ground, making it stuck for at least a few seconds.
Using her other leg, before he could react, she spun her body, and using her momentum, she kicked the bald one square in the jaw, after a loud 'crack', he was sent rolling backward and pulling his blade out of the ground. He fell on his back but quickly recovered after a backward roll. "I see now. I underestimated you." the bald one said, holding his lower jaw in place "I won't do that mistake again." Another crack could be heard, this time, to put his jaw back in place, as he spat some droplets of blood. He sheathed his blade and got to his low stance once again. 'Damn she got me good. Guess I should respect her shield from now on. Who knows what she'll try to-'
The very same shield was thrown spinning like a frisbee towards Francisco's face. He unsheathed his sword and instantly parried the shield. Behind the shield, the sword she once had was gone, instead, the tip of a barrel "A gun?!" he shouted in surprise as he hastily readied himself. The first shot was fired. Dodging it by quickly ducking under it, 'If the weapon has such a long barrel, then the caliber should be small.' The second shot was fired. He quickly unsheathed his Tachi and sliced the shot in half, as he did for the third and fourth shots as he slowly moved forward. 'These are strong. Really strong! Are these according to the Head's regulations?' His arms were getting weaker, after he cut the fifth shot he realized, 'I won't be able to cut the next one!' He flexed all muscles on his body in preparation for the sixth shot. And soon it came. First was the overwhelming pain on his upper left arm, then, the sound of the rifle firing.
Then, came the sound of gasps but no more shots. 'A window of opportunity!' Not a second after he got shot, the bald one was already in front of Pyrrha. Powering through the pain of the bleeding shot wound on his left shoulder, he sliced her through her chest, though no blood came out. Caught off guard, Pyrrha jumped backward in hopes of gaining some space, to no avail. The hairless one closed the gap in one heavy step as he sheathed his Tachi, followed by a shout mixed with a grunt "Boundary of death!"
The tip of the Tachi gently poked at Pyrrha's aura, confusion sprouted on her face as a drop of sweat rolled down from her left cheek. "H-Huh?" Pyrrha didn't dare to question the decisions of her opponent. With one swift movement, the rifle transformed back into a blade and brought down her sword, aiming to strike the bald's chest.
"Fuck." He muttered under his breath. 'That was greedy of me. Now I'll pay the price.' His blade gently poked her chest, as the rifle changed its form to something resembling a sword. 'So, she has weapons that serve as both close and long-ranged…' a plan was forming in his mind. 'Her sword can turn into a highly illegal rifle according to the head's gun manufacturing amendment. With that in mind, that rifle-sword seems mighty delicate considering how many moving parts there are.' Unfortunately, his mind failed to realize the immediate danger 'If I interrupt the mechanisms, it will probably cause it to fail, rendering it useless, then I could grab the weapon and give it to The Head so I could get some sweet- Why her sword is currently slicing my chest?' After the damage had been done, Francisco rolled backward clutching his chest.
After gaining some distance, he crouched 'I am so fucking dumb.' it was getting difficult to breathe, he clutched his chest 'She cut through some of the muscles on my left breast…' he took a glance at his hand as blood gushed out of both of his wounds "That's not ideal, but it is expected." he sighed "Sorry about that Nikos, I shouldn't have underestimated you." Pyrrha shook her head and lowered her weapon "You're bleeding a lot! We should stop this fight!" she shouted as the baldy took his low stance once again "Yeah, no." He chuckled, "The fight stops when I fall unable to fight or when I win." He narrowed his eyes as blood gushed out of the bullet wound on his left shoulder. Looking at the audience, he spotted his fellow librarian chatting with four random girls, seeming to completely ignore the fight. 'That… No, I shouldn't distract myself any further.'
"Whatever happens, do not end this fight Professor!" Baldy yelled 'damn, I can feel the taste of iron on my mouth.' he swallowed and dashed towards Pyrrha. Unfortunately, her shield was already up, ready to block his blow. And block it she did "Stop it!" she yelled, but he didn't even react, with his forward momentum, he pushed against her shield and by extension, pushed her backward. She observed as blood came out of his wounds, unable to react or move "Professor I-" he raised his sword, taking a wider stance. "Don't you finish that sentence!" but Pyrrha cared not "Forfeit the match!" she finished, as Glynda raised her hand "The winner of the battle 'Pyrrha Nikos Versus Francisco', Francisco is the victor by forfeit!"
—
The fight was about to start. His fellow librarian was pitted against a red-haired girl and was sweating profusely due to the look she was giving him. "Oh how amusing" he said, not expecting for anyone to hear it, "He'll probably win though, even if he's still recovering." Bemaia chuckled to himself as he heard a pair of footsteps behind him, "Oh really? Well, I think Pyrrha's gonna kick your rude friend's butt!" 'That was the voice of a kid?' Bemaia turned his head, his eyebrows raised, a young girl wearing a black and red skirt with silvery eyes stood behind him with her arms crossed. "Good morning to you as well." he said, his attention going back to the fight. 'She really is a kid, huh? Didn't know they accepted those here.'
She sat beside him, giving him a look he'd never seen before 'Is she going to talk or is she going to keep staring?' he sighed, the girl pouted "That guy's your friend right?" his attention once again shifted towards the young girl "Perhaps?" Bemaia was still confused as to why the girl was bothering him "Well tell him that what he did to Jaune was uncalled-for!" Who was Jaune again? Ah right, the dude that got his shield cut in half. Was she his friend? A plan formed inside his head "Ah yes! That was exactly what I planned to do after this fight. Completely disrespectful on his part." 'Though, it was completely worth seeing.'
Her expression changed from one filled with rage to a somewhat calmer one "You seem like a cool guy! How come I've never seen you around here?" his mind got to thinking 'That seemed to calm her down. Good. Now, how do I explain that I used to work at a library?' he hummed "We don't really understand that part either… We kind of just woke up at the infirmary beds today." Telling the truth was the best option? Probably not, but he was taught that lying is bad! The girl's expression shifted once again, this time, it was excitement "WAIT, You guys are the dudes that fell from that weird wall!?" Bemaia hummed. Wall? What wall? Was Xiao's reception fought on top of a wall? He couldn't remember, he was too focused on not dying to the very angry fire lady. 'Let's roll with it. Perhaps she would know if I told her more?' "Yeah? I used a bamboo hat, you remember that?" the girl started excitedly jumping in place "It's really you! Hey guys, come here!" Bemaia sighed. 'I won't get to see him getting beaten by the angry lady.'
A small crowd of four girls formed around Bemaia, he tried to ignore them by watching the fight, but that proved to be a very difficult ordeal. "So, you were the ones we had to carry to the infirmary." the girl with white hair said, venom dripping from her words "So it would seem." Bemaia said, not really interested in talking to these random girls. "So baldy over there was the one with the gaping hole on his belly?" He raised his left eyebrow, not understanding where this conversation was going, "Yes?" the heiress pouted "Unbelievable, we save you, and you three don't even say a 'thank you'?" Bemaia blinked, "Thank you for the help. Is that all?" the four remained silent "Aside from our lives, you left us with a gigantic medical bill that we now have to pay. So no, you're not going to see me licking your boots any time soon."
Ruby look down to her feet, "It can't be that bad right?" she muttered "Yeah, so, we're trying to enroll at this academy so those medical bills are paid by the academy itself. Courtesy of the headmaster, of course." Bemaia laughed a sour laugh "Wait, so we're going to be classmates?" Bemaia looked at the silver eyed girl, stopped for a few seconds, then opened his mouth, "Let's start over." Yang laughed. Bemaia got up from his seat and did a slight bow, "The name is Bemaia, nice to meet y'all." Weiss was the first to react "Humph! There are manners I expected. I'm Weiss Schnee, heir to the SDC." the blond girl let out a laugh as she pulled Weiss with her right arm "Don't be too hard on her, my guy! She doesn't mean harm. I'm Yang, by the way." the heiress struggled against Yang's embrace "Unhand me you mindless brute!" Bemaia nodded in understanding, "Blake Belladonna" said the black haired woman wearing a bow, "And I'm their leader, Ruby Rose!" He nodded once again, but questioned himself, 'How did a girl her age entered this place and is the Leader of a team?'
"Sorry about that interaction, I thought you were simply trying to scam me out of my nonexistent money." he bowed slightly once again, "Eh, no harm done, right sis?" Yang responded, Weiss was still trying to escape Yang's headlock "Yup! And plus, we were excited to see Pyrrha directly challenging someone! She's by far the best fighter on the first years!" Bemaia nodded, trying to control his laughter "So, I'm guessing Francisco did something to piss her off then." Weiss finally managed to break out of the brawler's headlock "Yes he did! She's heads over for Jaune and your friend just cut through his shield and sent him to the infirmary." She raised her hand to her mouth, "I've never seen any blow that shield could not take, that was the first one. He must have quite the strong semblance." Bemaia nodded, his neck was getting tired from nodding so much "Yes, he must have quite the semblance… By the way, what is a Semblance?"
The girls were silent. "Girls?" Yang opened her mouth, "Baldy's going to get beaten up." Weiss's eyes twitched, "You two don't know what a semblance is?" Bemaia nodded "How did he manage to cut through Jaune's shield and aura with just his aura!?" Bemaia blinked "Uh, We don't have Aura, either. Didn't you hear the professor before the fight?" Shots could be heard echoing throughout the arena "We arrived late, anyway, we must stop the fight before your friend gets hurt!"
As if by command, blood splattered through the arena's floor, the bald one's hand rested on top of his left shoulder, that a bullet had just pierced. Ruby covered her mouth in shock, Yang raised her hands in the air and let out a very passionate "HOLY SHI-" Blake inhaled and adverted her eyes. "See what I'm talking about! Why won't Professor Goodwitch stop the fight!" Bemaia let out a tired sigh, "Oof. That's gotta sting…" Weiss's eye twitched again "'That's gotta sting'? That's all you have to say? Your friend just been shot!" Bemaia stared at Weiss "I mean, it sucks, yeah, but he's had worse." His attention shifted to the fight once again, "Plus, it's not like he minds being shot." The girls were left confused, but decided to trust his judgement.
Much to RWBY's' surprise, the bald one dashed towards Pyrrha as blood spilled from his wound, Bemaia remained silently watching. After a quick clash between the two, Pyrrha once again struck him, this time she slashed his chest and quickly regretted her choice, backing away from her opponent. "He walked in that one." Bemaia tried not to chuckle "That cut wasn't a superficial one. You can even see some bone in there! Why doesn't he forfeit?!" Weiss yelled once again, "Huh? Why would he? He's clearly having fun." Bemaia argued "That's insanity!" Weiss countered, "But it's also cool…" Ruby tried to defend him "It's just a display of stubbornness." Blake commented "And you can talk a lot about stubbornness, right, Blake?" Yang said as she poked the faunus girl on the forehead, "Still, isn't that still a bad cut? Surely, he's not that stubborn, right?" Ruby said, worried about the stranger's health.
"Nah, he's stubborn as hell." Bemaia shook his head, "He likes facing every situation head on. No matter what." He sighed, the fight just finished. "He can be somewhat intimidating while fighting, so the weak hearted tend to run or finish it early." Weiss's eyebrows twitched "What's that supposed to mean?" As if on cue, Glynda declared the victor of the match "The winner of the battle 'Pyrrha Nikos Versus Francisco', Francisco is the victor by forfeit!"
The students were speechless, "Did she just lose?" Someone in the audience questioned "What's up with that guy?" Another one asked, "Who is he anyway?" Another asked. Questions, questions all around. But the only question Pyrrha heard was "Why did you do it?" and she was more surprised by the one who made the question, "Why did you stop this fight?" Francisco asked, 'the sword in his hand is trembling' she noticed "I don't want to hurt you." the bald one scoffed "You train to fight, but you don't want to hurt someone?" he spat on her boots, "Don't make me laugh you bloody hypocrite." he sighed, the pain was finally catching up to him "Fine. But when can we continue this fight?" Pyrrha was left speechless "You really like fighting, huh? Unlock your aura, then I'll think about fighting you again." She declared as she left the arena. "Yeah, uh, before you go. How do i… And she's already gone." He sheathed his Tachi feeling defeated. "I'll go to the infirmary before the adrenalin runs dry, teacher." The bald one said, as he held his chest, going towards the only other location he knew on Beacon, the infirmary.

"I must congratulate you, Francisco." The headmaster said with a coy smile on his face "You're the first person to enroll here at Beacon without Aura." The only response Francisco could muster was a silent grunt mixed with the beeping of his heart rate "It must be tough not having a team, but that will change soon." Ozpin turned to Bemaia "Tell me once you're ready to face the test. But I must remind you that I can only keep you here for four more days, after that, you'll lose your chance." Bemaia nodded in understanding, "Now, Francisco. According to the doctors, you should be able to leave later today, so until you get your own team, you'll stay in the dorm room of another team." Francisco instantly sat on the bed "Do I have the right to deny that?" he swallowed "You have, but then you'd have to pass a few days in the streets." he punched the bed in frustration "I take it, you have no money?" Ozpin chuckles, "Fortunately for you, a team already volunteered to take you in."
Ozpin opened the door as a group of four girls all fell on the ground for leaning against the door, "These girls together are Team RWBY, you'll be on their care for the time being." he stared at the girls as they all wore embarrassed smiles on their faces "Bemaia, are you positive we don't have any money?" he only answered with a thumbs up, baldy sighed "Okay. Who are you people?" he said, getting up from the hospital bed, tearing the needles off of him. A pained groan could be heard from the next room. The girls stood up "The name's Ruby Rose, and I'm the leader of Team RWBY!" Francisco looked at his fellow librarian, "So they are the ones you met. Okay, no more introductions, he told me the basics about you." Ruby's excited face turned into a face of disappointment "I'm Francisco , but you can call me whatever you want." he looked at Bemaia "I'll go see where I'll sleep, If Fred wakes up just yell really loudly, so I can hear it." ignoring him, Bemaia let out a "Don't worry about it."
"Uh, shouldn't rest some more? You just had your chest sliced open…" Weiss tried to reason but was quickly interrupted, "It happens. Anyway, let's go? I'm starting to hate this infirmary." he said, lightly punching the bandages that wrapped around his torso. Weiss gave up "Fine. But if you 'happen' to faint, I won't be the one carrying your body." He nodded in agreement
"Understandable."

A/N: YO I'M BACK Y'ALL. Not very exciting is it? I shall return with another chapter. Eventually.
Bemaia approves with a tactical nod.
