"Hey dad."

Little Nathan is seen holding hands with his father. They were walking together to an unknown location. The area that they were in right now is a calm forest with a dirt pathway. The dad responds to Nathan's call.

"Yes Nate?"

"Are we there yet?"

"We're almost there."

Nathan looked down and he seemed bored and a little impatient, but he hept walking anyway.

"You've said that many times already."

His dad just smirked.

"And you've been asking the same question many times as well kiddo."

Little Nathan looked at his dad with a cute pout on his face. It was evident that he is getting irritated with all the walking but tries not to complain about it.

"Dad, when do we get there?"

"Almost there. Besides, anywhere is near as long as you know where you're going."

Nathan sweatdropped at that statement.

"You're only saying that because we're probably lost.

"No we're not, I know where we're going."

"But I don't."

"That's because it's a surprise."

Nathan let go of his dad's hand and as he stopped his dad stopped as well looking back at his son. Nathan expression was that of doubt. His dad went down on one knee and he starts petting Nathan's head.

"Don't worry Nate, you'll know soon."

His son looked at his father and gave a little smile.

"Hmm?"

Nathan sits up from his bed and rubbed his eyes as he just woke up from his sleep. It was early in the morning as it was his first day as a student of Beacon and where his task is about to begin.

"Another dream."

He was then interrupted by a knock on the door. He got up from his bed and headed towards the door and as he arrives he opens it to see Velvet in her uniform waiting from the other side.

With a neutral expression he gave his greetings. "Good morning Velvet."

"Good morning Nathan."

"I'm guessing you were sent here to escort me to class, right?"

Velvet slightly tilts her head and gave a soft smile. "That's right."

"Okay, just give me a moment." He closed his door leaving Velvet to wait outside. He readied himself for his first day in Beacon and because he did not have a uniform yet he went with his usual attire. He picked up his scroll, and Decadedriver and stepped outside.

Morning was already a busy one. Students were at the hallways heading to class or just chatting with fellow classmates. Nathan and Velvet were walking together and were also having their chat.

Nathan was the first to initiate the conversation. "So, where are we heading?"

"Well, usually students have their breakfast at the dining hall."

"The cafeteria is where I met her. That means the others will be there as well," Nathan said in his thoughts.

They arrived at the cafeteria where only a few students were present. Some are eating their breakfast while other were about to leave.

"Hm, guess not everyone is an early bird." Nathan looked around and was slightly surprised that Ruby and her friends weren't there along with Cardin and his goons.

Velvet slightly chuckled at what Nathan said. "Yeah, well the first years are preparing for their trip to Forever Fall."

"Forever Fall, the forest known for it's crimson colored trees?"

"Mhm, they're having a sort of field trip to collect some sap from the trees."

"Okay, so what do we do after breakfast then?"

"Well, me and my team are heading to class. You can join us or you can spend the day getting used to the academy."

"Won't I get in trouble if the teachers find out I didn't attend any class?"

"Don't worry Nathan, Professor Ozpin told me that it'll be alright for your first day."

Before Nathan could say anything he noticed a certain blonde boy at one of the tables alone.

"Velvet, you go on ahead. I'll catch up."

Velvet was curious at why but decided not to bother. She gives him a small nod and went ahead to get her breakfast while Nathan walks towards a lonely Jaune. He changed his face to a more friendly expression like how he did when he first met them.

"What's up Jaune? You seem, how should I put this, depressed."

Jaune was surprised at the sudden appearance of Nathan. He explained his situation especially what happened between him and Pyrrha, and other things that were bothering him.

"Now, I'm not fit to be a leader." Jaune then gave a sigh. "I should have quit when I had the chance."

Jaune's explanation was heard but he was not telling the full story like how he entered into Beacon with fake documents and that he was blackmailed by Cardin with the evidence of said documents but Nathan literally knew what Jaune was going through. Nathan puts his hand on the blonde knight's shoulder. "Look, you may have failed now, and there is a chance you might fail again in the future."

"Looking forward to it," replied Jaune discouragingly.

Nathan laughed a little and just continued, "but that doesn't mean it's the end for you. Failing means that there is a chance for success. Also, try to prove that you can at least be reliable to your team."

Jaune gave it thought for a moment until he regained a bit of confidence from Nathan's words. "Thanks, I needed that."

"No problem, just cherish them not just as a team but as your friends, remember that." Nathan then left Jaune's table to be at Velvet's but not without getting his own food.

Nathan took a seat next to her and proceeds to eat his breakfast. It was quiet at first only a few voices from other students can be heard.

The atmoshere was a little bit awkward between the two. There were moments where Velvet wants to start a conversation but could not think of any topic to talk about. She wanted to ask Nathan about his powers or at least the monsters that they might face.

Nathan started to talk, to Velvet's surprise. He had his normal, neutral face instead of the fake smile he wore awhile ago.

"So, what class are you attending for today?"

"Oh, uh it's Proffessor Port's class on Grimm studies."

"Sounds fun."

"It'll be more fun during class later on." She said in a slightly sarcastic tone.

Nathan tilts his head with a, "Hmm?"

"Right, this." As Nathan's expression was that of boredom and disinterest.

He was in a classroom with Velvet and her team. Other students were present as well. Some of them were either tired, asleep, or doing something else besides paying attention. Only a few were taking notes to what the professor was teaching, but there was a problem.

The person in front is a man who is in his early old age. He has a "hefty" build while wearing a burgundy suit with gold pipings and buttons. His hair was gray along with his mustache while both looked well kept. He goes by the name of Prof. Peter Port.

"And that is how I, the magnificent Peter Port, was able to slay the ferocious swarm of beasts known as Grimm or as I like to call, my prey." He emphasized with a threathening voice which didn't work.

The whole classroom was filled with silence. Prof. Port had a huge tendency to tell jokes and mostly stories about his great adventures as a young hunter. He was suppose to be teaching.

The silence started to become awkward so the teacher had to break it. "Ahem, so class any questions?"

"..." No one raised a hand.

"Okay, for this class I will be showing you one of the creatures of Grimm."

A cage was then pulled inside the classroom. It was shaking violently and a growl can be heard from the other side which piqued everyone's interest. All of the other students began to pay attention including Nathan.

"Finally, something interesting."

The shaking from the cage stopped as a pair of eyes began to glow. It sent shivers down alot of the students' spines, even Velvet's ears were starting to perk up on high alert.

The teacher then walked towards the side of the cage to give his actual lecture.

"As you can see, what's in this cage is a very common species of Grimm but a special one of its kind."

The creature then lunged towards the bars of its cage revealing to be a Beowolf. It's appearance was different compared to the other Beowolves. It was slightly bigger and had more spikes.

"This here is an Alpha Beowolf. You will only see these leading packs of fellow Beowolves sometimes with a mix of Ursas."

The cage was shaking violently as the Grimm sensed nervousness around the classroom.

"The Alpha is the leader, so this type tends to be more aggressive and ferocious especially when hunting. Quite intimidating if I do say so but not as intimidating as this brave hunter." Port then gave a hearty laugh which was only met by annoyed silence.

"Uh ehrrm, anyone wants to take a closer look?"

Obviously, no one volunteered so the professor decided to pick one of the students.

"Hmm, how about you young man. You seem to show some promise."

The student was Nathan which he didn't mind since he dealt with this Grimm before. Nathan went down towards the stage and stood next to the professor.

"Excellent, now before we start care to introduce yourself first."

With a fake smile he introduces himself. "Nathan Grey."

His smile, despite being ingenuine, was charming which made a lot of the girls and some of the men blush. Other guys were a bit ticked off.

Port continued the conversation. "I heard that you are a tranfer student. From what school were you from?"

"I came from a small school so I don't think anyone will be familiar with it. (Dodged a bullet there)"

"Well, I hope you are ready for this encounter. Now, what I want you to do is stand near the front of the cage and do not worry, the cage is strong enough to keep the beast from breaking out."

Nathan then walked towards the cage and just stood there while the Beowolf was growling at him. He was neither nervous or afraid. "Like this?"

"Perfect, now class, let me teach you one common ability of every Grimm which is the ability to sense negative emotions."

The whole class was paying closer attention not just for the lesson but their curiosity for Nathan's situation.

"Creatures of Grimm have this ability where they can sense a person's emotions, especially those that are of the negative side, from miles away. This helps them hunt and the more people with negative emotions crowded in one area, the more potent and detectable it is for the Grimm to chase after."

Port then points at Nathan.

"This young man will demonstrate that ability by letting this Alpha Beowolf sense his emotions. The amount of emotion sensed will depend how aggressive the Grimm will be."

Nathan stood there and looked at the Grimm's eyes waiting for it to act out. The rest of the students were at the edge of their seats. Team CFVY were getting worried for him.

The Beowolf was staring at Nathan's eyes as it growls but not making a move. Both Nathan and the creature were standing in front of each other like a stand off waiting for one to attack the other. Nathan wasn't showing any negative emotions or any emotions in general.

A few minutes have passed and everyone was still anxious as they were waiting for what's to come. After a few seconds the Beowolf decided to back off and rest itself. Nathan responded by turning his back and walk away returning to his seat.

Everyone was silent even Prof. Port was at awe at what transpired. He then realized at what time it was so he decided to wrap it all up.

"Well class, that was quite a show, but I believe this concludes our session and be ready for our next meeting where I will be talking about individual Grimm species."

With that, everyone got up from their seats and proceed to leave the classroom.

After a few other classes Nathan and the others proceed to have their lunch at the cafeteria.

Another class ended for Nathan and the others. Some of the classes were surprising for him since he didn't expect this world to have similar classes that he attended before. Besides history, they had chemistry which he didn't show any interest, and philosophy which he genuinely enjoyed.

Classes for the day were over which leaves self-directed sparring. Usually students will train and spar with either their teammates or fellow classmates to develop their skills in combat.

"Hey kid, me and my team are going to do some training, wanna join?" As Coco invited Nathan he had other plans for the rest of the day.

"Sorry, but I intend to get myself a bit more familiar with the school. You guys go on ahead."

Coco just smiled and understood. "Alrighty, see you at dinner maybe? Come on guys." Team CFVY then left Nathan on his own.

"Let's see, what else can I find in this school?" As he was about to wander the campus someone caught up to him.

"Nathan, wait up!" The person revealed to be Velvet.

Nathan turned to see her panting a little bit. "Oh, hey Velvet. I thought you and your team are going sparring."

"Yeah, but I forgot that my weapon didn't have any dust crystals."

"You're camera?"

"Mhmm, and if you are going to roam around I might as well accompany you."

Nathan only smiled and gave Velvet a head pat which made her blush a little. "You did promise me to give me a tour."

They proceed to walk together with Velvet leading the way. This day was surprisingly uneventful but he didn't mind. He has plenty of time to prepare and investigate this world, but for now, he'll try his best to enjoy the tour.
