"You have a friend that you want to apply here?" Ozpin asks.
"Yeah...if he's allowed to." Aurae replies.
"Who exactly is this friend of yours?" Ozpin questions.
"He's like me, and like I said, he's my friend. Don't worry, he won't cause any trouble. He's just an idiot sometimes." Aurae explains.
"Very well, you also have to explain why you were gone. You were gone the entire night before. What exactly were you doing?" Ozpin narrows his eyes.
"I was trying to find...Landon! My friend, he got stuck in the forest with some Grimm and I decided to help him out." Aurae says quickly.
Ozpin looks at him with a unsure look but says, "Alright, but no more leaving without permission, got it?"
"Yes, sir!" Aurae states, then was about to leave the room.
"One more thing," Aurae freezes, "you can move to a different room with your friend and form a team. You can't do everything solo." Ozpin concludes.
Aurae just nods, then leaves the dreaded room. He sighs in relief then looks at Luke, "Okay, from now on you're known as Landon. I'm Hunter here so don't say anything other than that as my name, got it? We're just from a small town that's probably destroyed by Grimm and went here to learn, nothing else."
Luke laughs, "Hunter? Well, I guess Landon is okay. But seriously, I know you suck at naming things, but this is just bad."
Aurae rolls his eyes and huffs, "Shut up. Let's head to our new room. Our first class starts in 30 minutes I believe. The professor's name is Port I think."
He heads over to his newly assigned room since he didn't need to go back to the one he used to own, because he didn't put anything in it. Luke followed closely behind, looking around curiously as they walked.
Aurae opens the door with his scroll, now that he thinks about it, he needs to ask Ozpin about getting a scroll for Luke later. The room had four beds like usual for four teammates. They're only two people though, so he might as well get rid of one bed for more space. Having four beds in one room makes it cramped. The third bed will hopefully be for Grace if they ever find her.
"Luke...what exactly does the Traveler want us to do?" Aurae asks.
"I have no idea. My best guess is to punch everything bad here." Luke shrugs.
"Seriously? There has to be more meaning than just killing all the bad guys here." Aurae snapped.
"Uh...change their fate?" Luke guessed.
"Alright? Guess we'll find out in our so called 'changed destiny'" Aurae grumbles.
Aurae checks the time on his scroll and if he wasn't an exo, his eyes would widen, "Crap! Our class is gonna start soon. We gotta go!"
Luke quickly tells their ghosts to use the map Aurae received earlier to pinpoint the directions in their helmets so they can run there with no problem getting lost. Then, he grabs Aurae by his right hand and rushes towards their first class.
They're already halfway towards the classroom and Aurae shouts, "Slowdown! You're gonna break the door at this rate! Don't you dare shoulder charge your way in! I swear if you do—"
The warning and threat was too late, because Luke Titan-skated the rest of the way there and crashed through the door. Aurae gets thrown and crashed in front of some girls and says, "Traveler damn it, Lu—Landon."
Class started just in time. They arrived there at the last second, but now the students were staring at them with amusement, disgust, awe and confusion. The teacher didn't seem pleased at all.
"What were you guys thinking? Barging into the classroom? And why are you guys wearing helmets? Your faces should be visible at all times." Professor Port asks with a stern look on his face.
Luke scratches the back of his neck with his hand and nervously laughs, "Um...we were gonna be late, so I..."
"We can and we will wear our helmets. I don't want anyone seeing," Aurae gestures towards his face with his right hand, "this... We can leave if you'd like."
Aurae stands up and notices that he left a dent in the wall. He glares at Luke then sits at an empty seat in the back. Luke explains quietly to the teacher and somehow makes the situation seem less worst than it was and heads back to sit next to Aurae.
[Timeskip]
The class is very boring. Actually? That's an understatement, Aurae really wanted to kill himself. The teacher kept ranting about stories of himself in the past and Aurae would rather get lectured by Ikora instead of being there. As he waited with boredom, he drummed his fingers against the top of his desk.
Aurae still doesn't get how Luke made the situation less worst, but Luke did take off his helmet and said something to the professor about his face. Aurae called him an idiot for revealing his identity, but what's done can't be reversed. At least Aurae could keep his on, Luke's a human so he should be fine.
Aurae looks over at Luke and whispers, "This is really boring, want to play a game?"
Luke nods really fast after getting out of his sleepy haze.
"Remember that game I taught you a few years ago?" Aurae asks quietly.
Luke thinks then nods again to confirm that he did.
"Alright, we're gonna play that since our other made up games are too messy and loud for this tiny classroom." Aurae states.
Aurae let's a little light out of his fingertips, then he traces a shape on Luke's back. Luke turns around before he started doing that then turns back to Aurae, saying, "A Vandal?"
Aurae smiles, "Yeah, can't believe you still remember the way I draw them."
Luke shrugs, "Those were pretty fun. Haven't played it in a while though."
Ruby sees what they're doing and is now curious, trying to peek over the other students to see what they're doing. Weiss notices as well and is now glaring at them.
Aurae chuckles, the professor hasn't noticed yet so he keeps on drawing with his fingers on Luke's armored back with his light. Luke taps his finger on his chin in deep thought then asks, "Is it one of the Barons?"
Aurae hums in reply, indicating a yes. Luke then asks again, "The Sniper guy? I don't remember their names...You're the one that killed them all, I don't know anything, Au—Hunter."
"Good enough answer. I remember sniping him..." Aurae spaces out, thinking about all the Barons he had killed. Killing Uldren...
He shakes his head to try to get rid of his thoughts, best not dwell on the past. The Queen is still pissed at him for putting her people in a loop of a curse. He didn't know killing Riven would do that alright? And technically she told them to kill Riven.
By the time class ended, Aurae had traced all the Barons, Cabal, and Fallen on Luke's back. He was about to start with Hive next but noticed class had ended.
"Come on Luke, time to go to our next class." Aurae says with a sigh.
"Aww, alright." Luke says, and if he was one of those faunas, his ears would droop.
"After school ends we can go to the forest and test out our new subclasses and see what's new and what has changed." Aurae says.
'But we don't have orbs of light here, you won't be able to get your super back until maybe two hours?'-V.
"Fudge, you're right, V." Aurae replies then groans.
"So...we can just try out one super?" Luke suggests.
"Yeah...but I was hoping to test out everything so we know..." Aurae sighs, electrical static coming along with it.
Author's Note
I'm so sorry for not updating! I'll try to start updating more frequently but sometimes I forget I have this here. I usually write stories but never publish them... I've been playing a lot of D2 and mid term exams are next week so I'm pretty stressed. I got some homework to do and etc. but I'll always remember to type occasionally and post. I promise I'll update more when it's Winter Break which is next next week for me. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, it's a bit longer than the others. And also, here's a short story I started typing but then became bored and stopped.
"FU—" Aurae, the Hunter, crashes through a building's walls after a Phalanx throws him into it with their shield.
Laughter is heard and it's coming from a Titan not that far away. The Titan is currently shooting the Cabal with a hand cannon called Sunshot. A Warlock just sighs and heads over to Aurae, to revive the now dead Hunter.
Grace, the only smart person in Fireteam GAL, uses her super to clear out the Cabal nearby. She reaches Aurae's Ghost and revives him. Aurae appears once more to fight alongside them.
"Thanks Grace!" Aurae says quite quickly before dodging as a couple of shots from Psions shoot the spot where he once was.
