Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Reaper. Enjoy the 1100-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.

(Signal Academy, 3 years before the start of the series.)

Qrow watched as Azul swung at Ruby with his weapon: Violet Shadow.

Ruby slid back as Azul advanced, he was much different than how he was now.

Azul now wore blackish-purple fingerless gloves, black combat boots, a blue and black jacket, blue jeans, and a purple cloak with purple sunglasses over his Cererian eyes.

Qrow guessed Azul liked blue, purple, and black a lot… Though he would ask Ruby later on.

"Coming at you, Rubes!"

Azul said as he slashed her back as Qrow studied his weapon as Ruby fired a shot from Crescent Rose.

Azul had chosen a sword for his signature weapon, the bladed katana had two barrels on either side of the blade.

When Ruby had questioned him, his answer was interesting in 2 ways.

Azul was working on a triple… Quadruple changer weapon, but he had only gotten two parts of the weapon done.

Besides the sword, Azul wanted to add a rifle and pistol mode to the weapon, that way he had options in ranged combat.

So far, he had completed the rifle mode, but the fourth mode and the pistol weren't finished… He did have the pistol mode done for Violet Shadow's sword mode at least.

Azul swung the blade as it clanged off Crescent Rose before Ruby spun the scythe at Azul's head, Azul fired a round at Ruby as he knocked the scythe aside before Ruby fired a round at the ground.

Azul slid backward as Ruby fired a shot behind her and slammed feetfirst into Azul.

Azul slammed into a desk as it shattered into pieces, Azul's aura fizzled as he stood up.

"Ruby… You just unlocked my Aura 2 hours ago; I don't think doing a dropkick is the best way to test my aura…"

Azul said as he rubbed his ribs as he faced Ruby and rubbed his cloaked head.

"Sorry!"

Ruby yelled as Azul grinned and lunged at Ruby as she fired a bullet at Azul, he dodged it and fired a round as he swung at Ruby with both hands.

Ruby blocked it, but the strength of the blow made her slid back as Azul rushed her, Azul slid under a strike at his stomach as he kicked at Ruby in the legs.

She crashed to the ground but climbed to her feet and swung at Azul with a bullet-enhanced swing at his head as Azul brought up his other hand to put more power into his weapon.

Qrow snapped his fingers as the weapons bounced off each other. Azul and Ruby turned to Qrow as he walked down from the stairs he was sitting on towards the kids.

"Ok… That's enough… Azul, you're getting better at sword fighting… Not as good as me but…"

Qrow joked as Azul crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, he folded down the weapon and placed it on his belt as Ruby placed Crescent Rose on her hips.

"I made that sword 6 months ago, I think I know how it works… And this is the fourth class with Ruby helping me…"

Azul stated as he crossed his arms and walked back and forth around the room, Ruby leaned on the wall.

"Uncle Qrow, Azul is trying to learn the best he can…. Everyone fights differently…"

Ruby said as Qrow frowned and then smiled a bit, even at the age of 12, Ruby was still as smart as Summer.

Then again, he hadn't seen Summer again… And yet he knew she was fine, she was one of the most skilled Huntresses ever and Tai was with her.

"Yeah… Besides, we're still learning, Ruby hasn't mastered her scythe yet…"

Azul said as Qrow held up his hands, he knew both kids were right. They both learned how to fight in different ways, Azul wasn't the same as him, he had his style, from what Qrow saw, he was trying to find a balance between speed and strength.

The skill in that was finding the balance between that, putting too much power into his hits meant he could overpower someone, but he ran the risk of being outmaneuvered by a faster opponent.

Ruby, however, was another matter entirely. She was becoming one of the best scythe experts he had seen… Which wasn't doing much, since it seemed only he and her used the weapon.

The problem, however, was that Ruby couldn't fight without her weapon, Azul had power in the basic punches and kicks and could at least defend himself in a hand-to-hand fight somewhat. Ruby couldn't.

He would have to remedy that, he turned to Azul who looked at Ruby as he sat on a desk and rubbed off his gloves.

"I heard your 13th birth is coming up, its 2 months after Ruby, right kid?"

Qrow asked as Azul nodded, he and Ruby were still around the same age, even if Ruby was older than him by 2 months.

"Yeah, around the same time Summer is supposed to get back, you can tell your mom how skilled you've gotten with Crescent Rose…"

Azul said as Qrow nodded in amusement, Azul looked at Ruby and gave her a fanged smile which Ruby blushed at and returned the smile.

"Hmm…. Azul, how about you go back to your room for now….? Ruby, you and I are going to finish the scythe training, Azul is right… Azul, you can watch if you want, but you should head back to your dorm… I'll let Ruby get you when I'm done right now…"

Azul heard from Qrow as Azul nodded and placed a hand on Ruby's shoulder as he turned.

"Kick butt, we do have to go visit your mom when she gets back, she's going to want you to hear her super daughter can kick Grimm butt…."

Azul said as he walked away, Ruby smiled and turned to Qrow as the elder Huntsmen folded his arms.

He had yet to tell Ruby the truth about her family, he looked at Azul then at Ruby.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter down! I want to point out some things Azul used to have silver eyes, I changed them since it angered people in the last story … Next chapter will take place during the red trailer and will show Ruby and Azul fighting Beowolves and will show Azul with a central piece of his attire, until Friday. Lighting Wolf out!

Ps: Summer isn't going to die in this story.
