Here's chapter 11.

Hope you didn't wait long.

Enjoy the chapter!

A true leader

Morning strikes for team MSTH, Masamune was always the first one to wake. Yesterday was eventful, not only that they possess a way to talk without that someone peeks on what they'll be talking about, but they also got a peek on the personality of the maidens they have to protect; one childish, another one thinks that she's above everyone, the third is mysterious and talks two words each time someone tries to talk to her, and the last is like the Lion of Sagami. This wasn't going to be easy, but he had to endure.

"Hey, Date boy!" called Ujiyasu "What's on the day's program?"

"We have Aura Mastery" answered Masamune after a long sigh; how can someone like Ujiyasu ignore the school program.

"Aura Mastery?" asked Ujiyasu with confusion.

"In other words, we are going to study the Musou" answered Masamune.

"I see" said Ujiyasu before cracking his back "I wonder if the Schnee girl got the meaning of what I said…"

"What did you do?" asked Masamune with annoyance.

"I did nothing" replied Ujiyasu, raising his hands in self-defense "She's the one who came to me. She wanted me to help her getting the leadership of her team, I refused while giving her a small test to prove herself, she failed and I came back" Masamune went to grab a kitchen knife and walked toward Ujiyasu who began to panic "I swear that's the truth!"

"If there's something else I don't know… I'll make you wish for death's release" warned Masamune with a scary smile while releasing a murderous aura "You got that, right, partner?"

Ujiyasu only nodded while smiling nervously, that's the first time in Remnant that he was scared like that. Talk about earning respect by fear.

Weiss woke and proceeded to prepared herself for the day. Yet, something was bugging her; how can Ozpin name a filthy faunus as leader and it seems like the other members of his team don't mind that. But there's another thing that was dancing in her head, and that was annoying; 'How much life is needed to die by your hands in order to achieve your dream?' that question was just too much. How can someone talks about killing with ease.

"Is something wrong Ice Queen?" asked Yang.

"No, it's nothing" replied Weiss before turning to Yang "What did you just called me?!"

"Chill Ice Queen" replied Yang "I'm just a little worried about you"

"You've been acting strangely since last night" said Blake "You looked like your family arranged some sort of marriage with an old pervert behind your back"

"Wha-? What kind of reasoning is this?!" asked the Schnee heiress with shock "That won't and will never happen!"

"You surly looked like it" replied Blake.

"That's not the point!" yelled Weiss "It's something that you can't understand"

"Don't be like that" said Yang "We are a team"

Weiss said nothing and left the room.

In the arena, Zhuge Liang waited for the student to arrive. This was the first time he had to teach something, but that didn't meant that he was nervous. He knew that losing his composure means that students could take advantage of it. Before having to think of anything else, the students entered.

"Welcome" he said "This class will take on in the arena, you will learn how to use a special power that many have hidden within ourselves" that wasn't a bad start, he could feel that some student were not moved like he wished them to be "My name is Zhuge Liang, I hope that we may pass a good year together. There's some rules that I would like you to follow; one, you must respect the class, two, no boasting of being a member of some sort of important family, and three, everyone in this class is equal, no matter who you are nor your past. Any questions?"

"Who are you anyway?" asked a brown haired boy, his name was Cardin Winchester if Zhuge Liang remembers correctly "Do you honestly think that some old geezer can come and act like he's some sort of superior huntsman, and asking us to respect some animals?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said "Cardin Winchester, correct? By the way you are acting I can easily say that what drives you to become a huntsman is power. And that won't do, you will end alone, an easy prey. But if you possess the skill you may survive, but you will regret that. Those 'Animals' as you call them, are not so different, they may possess some traits that distingue them from the rest of us, but that doesn't mean that we should treat them with disrespect"

"The hell! Those freaks do nothing but taking advantage of the walls of this city, they don't deserve it!" yelled Cardin back.

"If this is your opinion, then I got nothing to say" replied Zhuge Liang "But you also proved that you are not worthy of being in this class. May all those who shares the opinion of Mr. Cardin, to take a step forward, and ready themselves" some student took a step, ready to support the racism "The rest may take a seat.

"Is he going to be okay?" asked Ruby who turned to count how many students will be facing the teacher "Facing 22 student isn't easy, even if you are awesome"

"Don't worry" replied Hanbei "Master Zhuge Liang is more than capable of beating them"

"Let's see if you can defeat me" said Zhuge Liang while smiling.

"You think that you can take all of us at the same time?" asked Cardin while grinning "Don't overestimate yourself, we faced more creatures of Grimm than you"

Still smiling, Zhuge Liang waved his fan lightly and used the wind to throw one of the student of balance "The crane that runs above the water, needs to watch for the crocodiles, otherwise, she will be eaten"

"Woah!" said Ruby with awe "How did he do that? Is that his Semblance? Why does he have that feathered fan as a weapon? Is he really a huntsman? Where did he come from? Can he teaches us to be as cool as him? Where-"

Before completely losing her sister in her fantasies Yang shut her mouth and said "You know sis, you can ask him all those questions after he beats them up"

"I'm surprised to see you here Ice Queen" said Blake to Weiss.

"Hey!"

"Knowing the Schnee family, I thought that you will be with them" added the black haired girl.

"He is a teacher" replied Weiss "As much as I hate his reasoning, he's still a teacher that teaches here in Beacon. Besides it's only in his class"

Blake simply averted her gaze toward the center of the arena, where the racist students were trying to get near the teacher, but were easily pushed by the wind emitted by him. What kind of power was that anyways? Turning to the monitors, his Aura reading wasn't showing any sign of an activated Aura, and that wind reminded her of the one that Hanbei caused during the initiation. What's going on here?

"Do you really think that you stand a chance against me?" asked Zhuge Liang "Even if you can pass that little breeze?"

"Once we get our hands on you, you will regret that?!" yelled Cardin while trying to get closer to the Crouching Dragon.

Zhuge Liang waved his fan again, creating a tornado that threw all the students that were facing him away.

"If I tried to fight you seriously, no one of you will be able to live to tell the tale" said Zhuge Liang "But you need to be disciplined, and as your teacher, I'll be happy to abide"

"Stop hiding behind tricks and come to us!" taunted Cardin "Unless you're scared!"

"You do have a talent Mr. Winchester" said Zhuge Liang while smiling "A talent in hiding behind words. Please do note that hiding behind tricks may save you at any moment, and against any opponent, but hiding behind words may help you only when you're facing humans, and by humans I mean faunus and non faunus, but facing the Grimms will means no use of words, they won't wait for you until you finish talking"

"Shut your trap!" snapped Cardin while charging the strategist, who was waiting with a smile.

Zhuge Liang waved his fan and a powerful gust of wind threw the brown haired racist away "One must think before the battle, or he will face defeat at the fist moment" he then turned to look at the students who chose not to face him "You may think that thinking of strategies may be useless, but with me, you will change your mind before that you even realize it" he then waved his fan again, throwing Cardin away again "In this class you will learn that one can bend an element to his control" he waved his fan again, but this time throwing all Team CRDL away "As for you" he then turned to the student who chose not to respect the faunus "You will be forbidden to assist this class until you have a formal letter from every faunus of this school, saying that you've changed"

"Screw you!" yelled Cardin while trying one last charge toward Zhuge Liang, who simply stepped to the left and wave his fan, creating a gust of wind that threw Cardin to a wall.

"I won't keep you any longer" said the Crouching Dragon to the rest of the student who weren't forbidden from assisting to his class "You have the rest of the day off. Use it to create bonds between yourselves, which can help you a lot next time"

Stop track

Weiss exited the classroom alone before that anyone could see her, she was walking until she bumped into a certain huntsman in training.

"Oh my" said the huntsman in training, revealing to be Sasaki Kojiro "What are you doing here, little Snowflake?"

Weiss looked at him and blushed "Well… I-I was thinking about something"

"Was it something Ujiyasu told you?" asked Kojiro.

"In a way" answered Weiss while looking away.

"Why not talking around some tea?" suggested Kojiro while smiling "I normally walk around with Hanbei, but seeing that he's currently with three teams, I thought that I can take some time to take a break and see what to do"

Weiss smiled and followed the Master Swordsman to the garden where she sat with him. She had to admit, being with him isn't as bad as she first thought.

"So" she began "Why do you follow someone like that kid around?"

Kojiro drank from his cup and said "Little Hanbei isn't someone that you can leave alone, seeing that he is the youngest of the school, anyone can bully him"

"I see" replied Weiss after drinking from her tea "I really feel bad for you, you know, following the orders of a faunus must be hard to endure"

"Masamune is more than worthy of being a leader" said Kojiro, countering Weiss "After all, he's still alive and happens to have some experience in leading armies"

"What do you mean?" asked Weiss with confusion.

"His field name was the One-Eyed Dragon" answered Kojiro "In our homeland, the more honor and respect you earn in the battlefield, the more rumors you get, and the more feared in the battlefield you are" he then took slip from his cup of tea "Ujiyasu can also be qualified as a leader, but again, he didn't know the right choices to make"

"What do you mean by choices?" asked Weiss with more confusion.

"In our homeland there is no Grimm, therefore there is no peace between us, we wage war between us" explained Kojiro "Warlords fighting each others for the supremacy of the land. But there was a moment of peace, when the land was unified under Hideyoshi Toyotomi, also known as the Monkey"

"Huh?" now Weiss was more than confused "Was he a faunus?"

"He did look like a monkey" replied Kojiro "But the reason of that nickname was the strategies that he used; he could make some impossible tasks possible, like building a castle in one night"

"He did what?!" asked Weiss with shock.

"You heard me; he built a castle in one night" repeated Kojiro "He also helped in winning a battle where their odds were 1 to 100, and used his charisma to unite the land"

"There's no way that's true" said Weiss.

Kojiro chuckled and said "Ask little Hanbei, he was serving under him"

"That kid was serving him?!" asked Weiss with more shock.

"As one of his best strategists" added Kojiro "He always did his best to win a battle with little loss in both armies"

"What kind of country are you from?" asked Weiss "I never heard of a place where there was no Grimm"

"Beyond the seas" answered Kojiro "But even if you wish to find it, you won't. Thanks to the mist, we were able to hide ourselves"

"You are sounding like some sort of civilization that cut itself from the world to live alone" deadpanned Weiss "The first time I met you, I thought that you're from Mistral, but again, you felt different from anyone from Mistral that I met before"

"I take that as a compliment" said Kojiro "But again, all of possess a dark part that is best to leave alone"

"What do you mean?" asked Weiss.

"We are all killers" answered Kojiro, shocking the heiress "We all killed in the battlefield. After all, it was either do or die. Even little Hanbei had to kill"

"But why?" asked Weiss, felling pity for the boy sitting with her.

"We were at war" answered the Master Swordsman "We had to survive, each one of us had to kill. For my part, it was when I was young, my entire family was slaughtered, and I am the only survivor. From that day I learned that one must be ready to face the reaper when the time comes. I picked up the sword only to escape that part of me that saw the slaughter, I was able to hunt down the responsible, they didn't even had a chance to understand what was happening when my blade sliced their throat. From that moment I wandered the land, searching for a worthy opponent"

"I… I'm sorry that you had to face something like that" said Weiss with sadness, even if he killed people, it was a necessity to survive.

"And I found him" said Kojiro with a mad smile "Musashi Miyamoto, the only man who could best me"

"He bested you, even if you are a master swordsman?" asked Weiss.

"It was my only time tasting defeat" stated Kojiro before laughing "I can't wait to duel him again"

Now Weiss was creeped out, Kojiro was broken from his trauma.

"But I need first to finish something here" added Kojiro before looking at Weiss with a smile, not the mad one he had, but a normal smile "How about the talk you had with Ujiyasu"

"Oh, right. I wanted to see if he can help me to become the leader of my team, but he asked me a strange question 'How much life is needed to die by your hands in order to achieve your dream?' that what he said" replied Weiss "If he didn't wished to offer his help, he could say it normally"

"That was a test" corrected Kojiro "The real question behind it is 'What are you ready to do if your team faces a danger, will you fight or will you surrender?'"

"Well… hard to answer if you don't have a situation" replied Weiss.

"Then why not giving the little rose a chance to prove herself to you" suggested Kojiro "If you throw your argument that you want to be the leader after the first day, it won't look pretty"

Weiss looked down at her cup and began to think, was she really that rude toward Ruby? Her entire life was to be the leader, and frankly, she did said some things to Ruby that weren't nice.

"What do you think I should do?" she asked.

Kojiro took a slip from his cup and said "Firstly, you need to go and apologies to the little rose, and then give her a chance"

"Thank you Kojiro" said Weiss with a smile toward the Master Swordsman. Even with his psychopathic tendencies, he's a nice guy to talk with.

Stop track

Later that day, Weiss walked toward the dorms and saw Hanbei taking a nap in the grass of the garden, she then turned her head and saw Cardin walking slowly toward the sleeping boy, with a non-friendly smile.

"Hey! What do you think you're going to do?!" she asked to the brown haired boy.

"None of your business princess" he replied "Now get lost"

Weiss was about to say something, but she noticed that Cardin began to back slowly.

"You know" said a voice behind her "It's quite rude to trouble sleeping people"

Weiss turned and saw Kojiro, with his sword unsheathed, smiling.

"Maybe you need to have a little lesson about that" said Kojiro while wiping his blade "Don't worry, you won't feel anything"

"If you attack me you will have trouble, you know that?!" asked Cardin with fear.

"But I won't attack you" replied Kojiro "I will 'Play' with you"

There, Cardin was scared of the red coated warrior, how could Beacon accept a psychopath like him? He didn't wait to know the answer as he rushed out of the place.

Kojiro sighed and said "He's finally gone, it would be a shame if his dirty blood got on my blade" he picked Hanbei and began to walk toward the dorms, "Thank you for trying to help little Hanbei" he said to Weiss "If you excuse me, I'll put him in his bed"

Weiss entered to the room of her team and noticed that Ruby was also taking a nap, she couldn't help but giggle a little. She walked toward her teammate and got to her bed.

"Ruby!" she called, waking the leader of her team.

"Weiss? Is this a dream?" wondered Ruby.

"Of course not you dunce!" replied Weiss "I just wanted to say that I am sorry for not giving you a chance, and that I'm ready to give you a chance" she then took a deep breath and said "I hope that we make Team RWBY great, all of us"

With that Ruby smiled, Team RWBY is finally a real team in her eyes.

At night, in Team MSTH room, the four samurais sat in circle again, and Hanbei activated his Semblance.

"Let us begin" began Masamune "Up until now, Ujiyasu tried to create some sort of information network inside the school, but failed"

"Not cool you know" complained Ujiyasu "But the problem is that we are students here, therefore, we don't have enough power to create an information network. We need to be teachers if we wish to create that"

"Why not asking the Crouching Dragon for the help in that case" suggested Kojiro "He's a teacher and knows what others don't"

"Not a stupid idea" commented Masamune "How about the maidens? Do we talk to them or wait a little?"

"I don't think they are ready" said Kojiro "Let's wait more"

"How about bonding our energy to them" suggested Hanbei "I did heard Ujiyasu saying something like that to Yang"

Masamune turned to Ujiyasu, who began to back from the group "Do you wish to disappear?"

"It was just a joke!" defended Ujiyasu.

"I do know jokes" said Masamune with a growl "Want to see one?"

"No thank you" replied Ujiyasu with haste "See the time. I'll go to bed. Goodnight" with that he jumped at his bed and acted like he fell asleep.

I hope that you enjoyed.

As for Kojiro's backstory, it was explained in Samurai Warriors 4 (The more you know).

See you next time.
