"So what now?" Ruby asked.
The headmaster has just finished his speech and the only people left in the amphitheater was Ruby, Yang, Jaune, and myself.
"Dunno kiddo, we could stand around and do nothing, explore the school, or we could go and massacre some beowolfs in the nearby forest," I say pointing at a nearby, I think it's called a bullhead, I don't remember, we'll go with that for now.
"Last one sounds fun," Yang said tapping her gauntlets
"Ruby?" I asked looking at her for a vote.
"Sure I don't see why not," Ruby said chipper.
"Uhh I don't know if anyone remembers but I don't do well on aircraft," Jaune said making a point.
"Here," I said handing him a box of air sickness pills, "that'll deal with your nausea. now c'mon, let's go and thin out the hoard a bit," I said walking towards the bullhead.
"So Uhh you know how to fly one of these things?" Yang asked
"Can't be worse than trying to drive," I said looking at the dashboard.
"You say that but the last time dad tried to teach Ruby about driving she nearly wrecked the car, and that was before getting in one," Yang said eyebrow raised.
"Ahh cmon, we'll be fine," I said turning on the ignition.
"If you say so, just don't get us killed," Yang said sitting down next to me and buckling up.
"Annnd touchdown, thanks for traveling with beacon airlines, please feel free to never mention this to your parents," I say looking back to the rest of the passengers.
Getting off, everyone looked around and notices a couple of launch pads...and the headmaster, crap.
"Mr. Nash I didn't expect you here until tomorrow with the rest of the students," Ozpin said looking at me and my group.
"Yeah, well, I have never listened to sub-text all that well," I said shrugging, "you know I would be impressed at this, whole launching kids of a cliff, if you at least provided a parachute," I said pointing to the launch pads while walking towards him.
"Is that a problem?" Ozpin said eyebrow raised.
"Ignoring the completely obvious dangers of launching kids off a cliff, let's just say that not everyone has landing strategies and that this," I point to the launch pads again, "Is a one-way ticket to the great unknown,"
"Noted, now why are you here with a group?" Ozpin asked.
"No reason, kill some beowolfs, this was the closest forest," I answer nonchalantly," better question sir, is what are you doing out here? initiation doesn't start until tomorrow, don't you have paperwork to fill out" I asked.
"I would say something clever, but I trust you to keep a secret. I'm escaping said paperwork and leaving it for Glynda," he said winking.
"Right, well then, I'm just gonna go and kill some beowolfs," I said, motioning for Yang, Ruby, and Jaune to follow me.
"There's no way down there except for these launch pads, the ropes won't be brought out here until tomorrow," Ozpin said pointing at the rope hooks.
"No problem," I said to Ozpin smirking. Grabbing a terrakinesis skill book and using it.
You have unlocked a new skill
Terrakinesis [lvl 1/100 +/-]: manipulate the earth at your will.
Cost: typically it would cost MP to use but due to creative mode being activated, there is no cost, have fun.
Setting the skill to 100, I take a breath and move the earth to form a staircase, "like I said no problem," I said looking back to a stunned crowd, I say crowd, it's literally just Ruby, Yang, Jaune, and Ozpin.
"So Uhh, who wants to go shoot some beowolfs?" I say chuckling.
"So are you gonna explain that or not?" Yang said pointing at the staircase of stone.
"Nope," I said walking down the staircase.
Reaching the forest, I get a good sight at why it's called the emerald forest, though when it got a named is a great question. "Well kiddies, here we are, now to find a beowolf," I say gesturing to the forest.
On cue, a pack of beowolves wandered in front of us, "how convenient," I said rolling my eyes.
Ruby and yang went in and started to thin out the crowd, using their instincts as huntresses in training, Jaune, however, was standing off in the sidelines trying not to get the attention of said beowolves.
Walking over I hand him my revolver, "don't ask, just let me teach you how to shoot a gun, trust me if you're not confident with a sword, you'll do better with a gun of some sort, and hey if you make it through initiation and still want to learn how to fight with a sword, I'll teach you," I said patting his back.
"Now cock the revolver, pull back the hammer on it," he does so, "see that lone beowolf, take aim at it, and when your ready fire," I step back to let him take aim, taking a breath he fires, it kills the beowolf in one shot.
"Nice job kid, keep the revolver, and here," I hand him a small pouch of ammo for it, "Ammunition, you're gonna need it to keep that thing be more than a glorified paperweight,"
"Thanks," he responded after taking the ammo.
"Don't thank me just yet kid, this was the easy part, initiation will be so much harder," I said patting his shoulder.
Tomorrow Initiation, then the world...yep that makes sense.
