"Alright sport lets go," said a rough voice. The person was calling to someone to come with them.
In respnse a child's voice was heard. "Be right there in a second." The child then ran down stairs to meet the person. "So where are we going, dad," asked the child.
The person who was called "dad" answered. "We're going to somewhere special Nate but first I want you do me a favor."
The child now named Nate smiled and answered his father. "Okay," said Nate in a cheerful tone.
This made the father smile as well. "I want you to wake up."
This made the boy confused. "What?" That was the only word Nate could give after hearing what his father told him.
The father kept repeating the phrase "wake up."
Remnant, Vale
Nathan kept hearing the words "wake up" to which he finally did. He slowly opened his eyes, still twitching due to him being sleepy. His eyes were almost open and he lifts his head to turn it and look mostly at his surrounding at least on one side since he was sleeping on a bench. To his surprised he saw a man with a broom on his hand.
The man was wearing jeans, a green shirt with an orange vest covering it, and gloves. By the way he was dressed he is this park's cleaner. "Sorry to disturb your sleep sir but you're not allowedd to do that here," said the cleaner.
Nathan was getting up and he rubs his eyes and adjust himself into a sitting position. "So you're the one who woke me up, thanks." Nathan adjusted his glasses and his messy bed hair back to its kept look. "Sorry about sleeping, just couldn't find a place to stay," Nathan apologized and explained his situation.
"It's okay sir but you shouldn't sleep here but you can still sit on the bench, sorry to bother you have a nice day." With that, the cleaner left Nathan to his own device.
"Thanks," was all that Nathan said as the cleaner left. "Guess sleeping out in the open isn't allowed either." He then lets out a sigh, "Then there's no choice is there?" He stood up from the bench, picked up his books, and started walking at a certain direction.
Nathan continued his walk until he finally reached his destination. In front of him is a large castle like structure with pillars and archaways surrounding the area. A fountain placed at the center and a huge spire which is the structure's most notable feature. This building is a school known as Beacon Academy where students from different parts of Remnant attend and train themselves to be professional hunters and huntresses.
"For some reason I feel like I've been forced to come here." Nathan finally arrived at Beacon and as he started walking towards the entrance he then realizes something. "How am I going to get myself in to Beacon?"
For the first time he did not plan ahead on what to do after setting foot at Beacon Academy. He was trying to avoid the idea of going there in the first place. Yet he is now here and not turning back, so he decided to do the one thing for the first time in his life. "Guess I'll have to wing it then," said Nathan with a tone of annoyance and total defeat.
Nathan entered and started walking in the halls of Beacon where students both human and faunus were standing chatting with one another or walking in different directions towards their classrooms.
Nathan continued his walk and started viewing the hallways of the academy. "This is bigger than the one I saw on the show," as Nathan looked around with awe. "Now I'm assuming that Ozpin's "office" is harder to find due to the massive size of this school."
The students were staring at Nathan out of suspicion. He did not look like a student of Beacon and he seems he does not want to be bothered but that did not stop any of the female students staring at him and smiling.
Nathan finally stumbled upon a double door that leads to the school's cafateria. As soon as Nathan looked his stomach started to growl. "When was the last time I ate?" Nathan forgot about eating ever since he came to Remnant since he spent most of his time walking, thinking of ways to live his life here, and trying to adjust to the new environment.
He finally entered in the cafeteria and the first thing he noticed were plenty of students eating and conversing with one another. "Must be their lunch time," his stomach growled, "*sigh* just bear with it Nathan, you'll live."
He went further inside to see if he could get any information. He then noticed a familiar group of students sitting and eating lunch at their table together. Nathan then thought to himself, "time to figure out what episode I'm in," as he walks towards them.
Nathan then spoke to one of the students from the table. "Excuse me," as he politely interrupts their conversation.
The person turns around and notices Nathan. The person was a young beautiful teen with blonde hair, light skin, and lilac eyes. She was one of the main characters of RWBY, Yang Xiao Long.
The blonde girl smiled at Nathan and responds. "~Well~hello there,~" she said in a slightly flirtatious tone. Her friends looked towards Nathan and gave their own greetings.
Nathan waved his hand as a way to greet them but not without a thought running through his mind. "Great, Yang's flirting with me, should've bothered Ruby instead," with an annoyed tone in his head. He kept his composure and introduced himself. "The name is Nathan Grey, but you can call me Nate."
The blonde girl responds. "I'm Yang and these are my friends," and with that, each of them gave short introductions of themselves. Nathan already knew their names but he did not want to be suspicious, going inside this school without permission was already suspicious enough.
Yang asked Nathan a question. "So Nate, what brings you here I had never seen you around here at Beacon."
"Well, I'm not exactly a student here more of a transfer student," as Nathan partially said the truth. "I came here to see the headmaster of Beacon to discuss about my transfer." He then politely asked, "does any one of you know where he is?"
Another person answered this time. She was a short, cute girl with black and red tipped hair, light skin, and silver eyes. She was the main protagonist of the show and the leader of team RWBY surprisingly named, Ruby Rose. She gave off a cheerful childlike demeanor when she answered Nathan. "Our headmaster usually stays in his office and occasionally walks around the campus with his mug of coffee but we don't know where his office is for now."
"Thanks, Ruby right?" Nathan thanked Ruby which in return, gave him a smile.
Just then Nathan's stomach started growling again. This made him annoyed and also made the others notice.
"Guess you haven't eaten yet, here," as Ruby kindly gave Nathan some of her cookies. Nathan gratefully took the offer and ate some of the cookies.
As he was eating the cookies he heard a cry of pain and some annoying laughter from a group of people. He looked towards the noise and what he saw was a girl being bullied by a bunch of delinquents. The girl being bullied had brown long hair and is wearing the uniform of Beacon but what grabbed Nathan's attention the most is the girl's brown rabbit ears which one of them is being pulled in a painful manner. Seeing that Nathan realised something. He was at episode eleven "Jaundice."
"Skipped four trailers and ten episodes, guess I didn't have to deal with the whole team thing." Nathan then pondered, "wait, so how is getting in to Beacon going to work?" He then heard more cries of pain coming from the rabbit girl.
"Please stop" the girl begged at the person pulling her ear. This made Ruby, Yang, and the others from the table to look at the bully with disgust.
Nathan noticed their glares and he did not care much about the bully. "Velvet, you know you're a senior and yet you let Cardin do that to you, why?" Nathan gave thought but just shrugged it off and proceeds to walk away from the cafeteria until he was stopped and turned around after hearing Velvet's cry.
"Ouch, that hurts," Velvet tried to pull her ears back from Cardin's grasp but to no avail. Small amount of tears were forming from her eyes while Cardin and his team were laughing.
"Told you they were real," Cardin said to his teammates as he kept pulling Velvet's ear. Cardin was not bullying Velvet anymore, what he was doing to her is more dangerous.
"Rabbit ears aren't suppose to be pulled like that," Nathan was starting to worry but kept his composure. He kept watching, hesitating to do something because he might change things like timelines or whatever space and time related shenannigans.
He made his final decision. "Excuse me Ruby, may I borrow your tray?"
Though confused, Ruby handed Nathan her tray and as he was holding her tray he started walking towards Cardin's direction.
Ruby and Yang saw where Nathan was going and even some of their friends were getting nervous. One of them, Jaune Arc, even warned Nathan as he approaches Cardin.
"What are you doing, are trying to get yourself killed," said Jaune with fear for Nathan. He did not listen, nor did he care, he just kept walking.
Nathan finally stopped at his destination. This made Cardin stop pulling Velvet's ear as he turned around towards Nathan since he noticed him standing in front of him. Cardin's team also noticed Nathan and they started giving smirks.
Cardin sarcastically spoke to Nathan. "Is there a problem kid?" Cardin and his team were getting ready to torment Nathan like how they did to Velvet but Nathan remained unfazed and kept his calm, serious look.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Nathan did something that surprised everyone in the whole cafeteria. He swiftly smashed Ruby's metal tray at Cardin's face. Nathan strength made the tray stretch and have an imprint of Cardin's face.
Everyone in the cafateria was silent as they all saw what had happened. Some of them had shocked faces. One of Ruby's friends, Nora Valkerie, yelled, "NOW BREAK HIS LEGS!!"
Nathan checked on Cardin as he became still, processing on what just happened. "Still alive, hey Yang can I borrow your tray?"
His request to Yang made everyone in the cafateria even more surprised and think, "was he really trying to kill him?"
Before Yang can give Nathan another tray Cardin started to move and removes the tray that was on his face.
He looked pissed and stood up from his seat and glared at Nathan. "What's the big idea you punk!?"
Nathan kept a straight face as he said, "I just felt like it." This made Cardin angrier and was about to signal his team to attack him until Nathan spoke to him. "Lunch is almost over for you guys, better head back to class."
With that, Cardin and his team hesitantly left since Nathan was right but not without giving him a threat. "I'll deal with you at combat class."
After they left Nathan quietly laugh to himself, "I'm not even enrolled yet." He then kneeled down toward Velvet and checks on her. She, like all the others, still had that shocked look in her face. "Hey, you alright there?"
Velvet then shakes her head coming back to her senses as she heard Nathan's voice. "Uhm yes, thank you for helping me." She flinched as she suddenly felt Nathan's hand caressing her ear, the one Cardin kept on pulling a while ago.
"Is your ear okay, can it still move," Nathan asked calmly with concern.
Velvet was quiet as she was blushing because of what Nathan was doing but she gave him a shy nod in response.
This made Nathan give her a warm, and subtle smile. He then lets go of her ear and stood up. "Be careful next time," he said to Velvet as he started walking away towards the exit of the cafeteria.
After he left Ruby and her friends were about to leave as well with Nora saying, "he didn't even break his legs."
Nathan was about to give up and was walking towards the school's exit but then he saw someone walking towards Nathan's direction in the hallway. This is the person Nathan was looking for.
