Anyway please enjoy this because I am currently out of witty remarks… except for this, those who I have yet to offend or insult wait your turn I will get to you in a bit, that is all.
(Start Chapter 3)
Early in the morning with the sun barely rising over the horizon, as the light shine upon Beacon and all of its glory, as well shining in the dorms of first year students.
Inside of team NIGP as everyone is resting convertibly, with Noctis is shoring with his arms on the side of his bed, dreaming about being king, riding on a chocobo through the forest area and great plains and behind him holding tightly a girl with her face cover up by a red hood.
Meaning while walking to the center of the room, someone wearing their school uniform, held up an air horn as he blow it as the person said, "Rise and shine everyone."
Noctis open his eyes, Prompto fell out of his bed, and Gladiolus got up with a groin, as Ignis was wide awake and blowing away on the air horn for a moment to the other to wake up then he stop and said, "Up-up-up, today is the first day of classes and we do not want to be late, now would we?"
"Can you take it easy on the air horn next time then? My ears are ringing" Prompto said as he rub his ears slightly.
"We still got a few hours till class start at 9," Gladiolus said as Noctis just raise up from his bed with dark circles around his eyes his eyes not really focus.
"Yes, that may be but that don't mean we're going to spend the next hour sleeping, its morning the sun its up so that means it time to get waking up," Ignis said as he put down the air horn and picking up a case of some sort and said, "And having a good breakfast to start the day."
"Pancake!"
Everyone got freak out at that as the voice of Nora is heard clearly and right at their door too.
.
.
.
"Let's just go," Noctis said as Prompto said, "Hey you think we can invite the others to join us?"
(Later)
3 team gather together as team RWBY and JNPR sitting at the table with team NGP in a dining area that is within the dorms, with Ignis in a private kitchen cooking up a well balance breakfast for most of everyone, and a plate of pancake for Nora, do due the threat of his legs being broken.
Ignis soon carry in three trays, one in each hand and one balancing on his arm as he set them down on the table in front the teams as he said, "A plate of pancake for Nora."
Passing the plate too her as she took it and had stars in her eye due to the style Ignis put the pancakes in, and then pass a plate to everyone else as he said, "And apple risotto."
"Hu?" almost everyone said but team NGP as they was handed a plate with mush rise with strips of bacon on top and pieces of apple in it.
"Apple Risotto a common breakfast Dish made far east. Hopefully it's as good as it looks but so far Ignis track record I shouldn't expect less." Weiss said as Blake looked at Weiss. "What I read a cooking book one time." Weiss said as that explained it.
Ruby took a bite as she soon had stars in her eyes as Yang also followed. "Noctis I know Iggy is a Kingsglaive but... you have to loan his skills out." Yang said as she was practically spoiled on Ignis cooking. "Hell I don't even mind waking up early just for Iggy's food." Yang said as Prompto smiled.
"Welcome to our world Yang, we've been expecting you." Prompto said with his joke as he laughed at that one.
"Yeah plus we had time to decorate our room this morning thanks to Ignis wake up call." Ruby said as Weiss yawned a bit.
"Though was the air horn needed I mean are dorms are next door to each other, I wouldn't be surprised if you had woke the entire building up." Weiss said as she ate her food.
"Imagine our surprise with Nora at our front door asking for pancakes." Gladiolus said as Noctis looked.
"Which reminds me, what do you think of them Nora?" Noctis asked as he turned to Nora only to find a broken plate by bite mark as Nora had eaten all the pancakes.
"Noctis... you better make sure Ignis makes me pancakes every morning or I'm breaking both your legs. I can never go back to normal pancakes again, Ignis makes the Pancakes of Eden!" Nora called as she had ate her plate dry of any pancakes.
"Good luck Ignis Nora will probably hunt you down to make her pancakes." Ren said as he knew Ignis was an excellent cook.
"I feel sorry for you guys now." Jaune said as he ate his food.
"Well we should get ready to head to our class we have about five minutes to get there." Ignis said as everyone had finished eating as their plates was cleared of Ignis Food.
"Wait what?!" Weiss called as everyone was wide eyed and began grabbing their supplies as they then made a run to their class.
Noctis looked at the clock and saw they had 15 minutes to get to class right now as Noctis gave Ignis a look. "Um Iggy it would take them about maybe 5 minutes to get to class if they run why did you lie to them?" Noctis asked as Ignis simply did a playful smirk as he adjusted his glasses.
"It should give them time to be situated and have their materials ready for the class, plus also provide them some bonding time." Ignis said as Noctis looked.
"You planned this from the start didn't you?" Noctis asked as Ignis looked.
"Oh dear well my cooked scheme has been discovered." Ignis joked as the guys laughed at that.
"Well we better catch up to them if we want to catch their reaction to being early to class." Gladiolus said as Prompto nodded.
"You got it big guy." Prompto said as he got up and the team began making their way to their first class.
(On the way to class)
Team RWBY and JNPR were running to their class as Ozpin and Glynda saw them passing by as Ozpin had his coffee while Glynda was surprised that they were running like they were late when they were in fact early. Of course Glynda was tired herself as after initiations her Ex had sent over their daughter to live with her for a time since not only was it her turn in their agreed joint custody but also Cor would be out on a bit of a mission for the time being so she was given some extra time with their daughter. Though if they could agree on the joint custody and Cor trusted Glynda with their daughter when Cor would be away for a long period of time it beg to wonder why they had a divorce in the first place.
Glynda at one point was called Glynda Leonis but things didn't work out and the two just separated. Of course their daughter was the outcome of their brief marriage and luckily she had taken it with strength as Glynda sometimes swore she was more like Cor sometimes. That reminded her where was she at the moment. "Noticed Lyra is missing?" Ozpin asked as he sipped his coffee.
"Don't patronize me." Glynda snapped as she then sighed to herself having a hunch where the 8 year old going on 9 was hiding. "Now if you'll excuse me I need to make sure she isn't terrorizing the students." Glynda said as she was still feeling the effects of the year Lyra had discovered her Semblance and the Semblance she had, Glynda swore that it was like she was given a Semblance perfect for her mischief. Hell last year the students had called her Loki Goddess of Mischief because of her semblance. Glynda was actually afraid she might even surpass Ozpin with her pranks.
"Ah the young always full of wonder." Ozpin said as he soon saw Team NIGP walk by as they headed to class.
(Later at Ports Classroom)
With Team NIGP walking in the class room, both team looked to the, mostly at Ignis as Ruby started out, "You tricked us!"
"Yea, that not fair," Jaune said as he look to the guy that help him out now feeling a bit betrayed by him as he push up his glasses and said, "I'm sorry about that, my watch must be off, but look on the bright side, you're all here and right on time too." Ignis Looking at his watch.
Everyone looked at him as Yang said, "You still joking with us, aren't you?"
Ignis gave a smile and said, "Just."
Weiss shake her head and said, "All is well, we are on time for class, so I suppose I'll forgive you for this one time."
Ignis gave a nod to her as she seem to understand as soon enough the bell is ringing and student were coming in the classroom as Noctis said, "Let's get to our seats."
They agree and try to find seating for them as good thing there were four open ones next to team RWBY.
(Little later)
"Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm and the many beast and wild life of Lucis have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!" a teacher named Port started to tell a story to the class that seems to be half asleep.
Even Team NIGP having problem, as Noctis taking a nap until he woke up alongside Ruby by Port bad joke, Gladiolus trying to make sense of what the man is saying and if he trying to teach them or bored them, Prompto had a headphone in one of his eyes and turn the volume down way low as his ears can pick up on the music easy and not hear Port boring story, Ignis was take down a few notice trying to do something resourceful.
"Uhhhh... And you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy! Now, as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses..." Port gives Yang a wink and clicking, which she groans uncomfortably at.
"Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves! From what, you ask? Why, the very world!" Peter said and then one student gave a cheer ether be was half sleep or didn't pay attention what's going on.
Port soon started to tell a story when he was a young boy that soon is hearing like, "Blah-blah-blah", everyone started to do their own thing with Ruby started to draw up a picture, as Noctis looked over to what it was, he gave a chuckled.
Ruby was doodling on her paper as Weiss saw this while Noctis was giving a few ideas to her. Weiss stopped with her notes and looked to Ruby for a minute as the two laughed a bit as Weiss was getting annoyed. Soon the two showed the picture as Yang and Prompto laughed while Gladiolus rolled his eyes with Ignis chuckling while adjusting his glasses. Weiss glared at the two as she saw Ruby was being immature but she had expected more from Noctis considering the young man was the heir to Lucis and would one day sit on the throne. He should be acting his rank then acting like a child.
Port of course cleared his throat shutting the 7 up as they looked to him. He then continued his story as even Ignis was tempted to dose off as the temptation was practically calling to him. It was soon that Ports story came to an end as Weiss seemed quite displeased. "The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable." Port said as Ruby was balancing a book on a paper as Noctis was doing the paper football came. "A true Huntsman must be Dependable." Port continued as Ruby and Noctis were snoozing as Weiss anger was reaching its boiling point as Ignis saw this.
"This does not bode well." Ignis said as he might need to intervene soon.
"A true Huntsman must be Strategic, well educated, and wise." Port finished as Ruby was picking her nose while Noctis and Prompto were playing paper football as Weiss had seen it all and was now pissed off. "So, who amongst you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?" Port asked as soon Weiss's hand shot up.
"I do sir!" Weiss called out as she had something to prove here.
"Should we stop her?" Gladiolus asked as Ignis looked.
"No their something I need to se." Ignis said as he knew Weiss's reaction to Ruby's childishness and Noctis wayward attitude clearly must have brought out something in Weiss that no doubt may be connected to her father and family.
"Well then, let's find out. Step forward, and face your opponent." Port said as he looked to the large cage with the Grimm inside it.
"Hey Gladio want to make another bet on the Grimm in that cage?" Prompto asked as Gladio glared.
"No I learned more the enough that when it comes to guessing a creature you're always going to win that bet with your Faunus senses." Gladio said as Ignis chuckled.
"Seems you won't get any more free money from Gladio anymore." Ignis said as Prompto laughed at his trick being discovered.
(Later once Weiss was changed into her Combat outfit)
Weiss had her weapon at the ready as she faced the cage while her team watched. "GO WEISS!" Yang cheered as Blake had a flag in her hand with RWBY name on it.
"Fight well!" Blake cheered as she looked to Weiss.
"Yeah, represent Team RWBY!" Ruby cheered as Weiss then gave Ruby a glare.
"Ruby, I'm trying to focus!" Weiss called as that shut Ruby up a bit.
"Oh, sorry." Ruby apologized as she toned it down.
"Alright. Let the match, begin!" Port called out as he cut through the lock releasing a Boarbatusk from its cage at it immediately charged at Weiss who side stepped and slashed at the Grimm but the armor protected it as it stopped and turned to Weiss. "Haha, wasn't expecting that were you?" Port asked as he saw this.
"Hang in there Weiss!" Ruby called hoping Weiss would be ok.
Ignis saw the Grimm and could already see the means to defeat it as it hard armor around its body but not on its bell no doubt to allow its legs to move with ease. Weiss then charged forward in a stab motion with her rapier as Ignis saw this as Noctis look. "Hey Specs anything?" Noctis asked as Ignis looked.
"It appears she's acting rashly like she has something to prove, if I have to guess she wasn't very happy with the results of the leadership last night if I am to go off on what she asked me last night." Ignis said as Prompto looked.
"Should we be worried?" Prompto asked as he looked to Ignis and Noctis.
"Not as of yet for now we should wait and observe till the end of class if she snaps at Ruby I shall intervene." Ignis said as Gladiolus nodded.
"Ok it's on you Specs." Gladiolus said as they watched the battle still in uniform for Beacon but Gladiolus had the added bonus of having the edges being torn up a bit by his own hands. Hey he paid for the uniform for the tuition might as well get his money's worth.
Weiss then charged forward once more as did the Grimm as looked like it got smarter as when her weapon clashed the Grimm caught it in between its tusks as Weiss was shocked at this. Bold, new Approach. I like it." Peter said as Noctis face palmed himself.
"Ok boring overweight teacher is making this worse, great." Noctis said his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Come on Weiss, show it whose boss!" Ruby called as Ignis decided to intervene.
"Ms. Schnee aim for its stomach its weakest there!" Ignis called as Weiss saw the two as it was that distraction that was all that was needed to let the Grimm knock Weiss's weapon out of her hand.
"Now what will you do without your weapon?" Port asked as Weiss looked up and saw the Grimm charging at her to which she dodged out of the way and just in time too as the Grimm hit a desk knocking itself to its side as Weiss went for her weapon.
"Ms. Schnee brute force won't win this battle you must outsmart it and force it to expose its belly!" Ignis called as Weiss saw Ignis plan as she went after her rapier.
"Yeah what, Iggy said!" Ruby called as Weiss grabbed her weapon and had enough.
"Would you shut up and stop telling me what to do Ruby!" Weiss yelled as she would never accept Ruby as her leader which made Ruby get this hurt/kicked puppy look on her face.
The Boarbatusk then jumped into the air and began spinning around like a wheel before charging at Weiss as Ignis decided to stay silent for this after Weiss' little outburst. Weiss then summoned a Glyph to act as a shield before the Grimm hit it knocking it to its back as Weiss went for a second Glyph and then once it turned black it then turned blue launching Weiss torts the Grimm as Weiss stabbed it in the chest as it was soon that the Grimm was lifeless as it fell limp.
"Bravo, Bravo! It appears we are indeed in the presence of a true Huntress in training." Peter said as Weiss was catching her breath as the Grimm was turning into black smoke as Weiss then fixed herself as the class came to an end. "I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings and, stay Vigilant. Class Dismissed." Peter said as class ended for the day.
Jaune saw this and saw Weiss was really pissed off as he had to ask. "Sheesh what's with her?" Jaune asked as he saw Weiss leave the room
Ruby was about to give chase but Ignis stopped her. "I shall speak with her Ms. Rose at best she trusts me more." Ignis said before he stood up and followed after Weiss.
"You ok Ruby?" Noctis asked as he looked to Ruby who seemed upset.
(With Weiss down the hall)
Weiss was walking down the hall giving off the aura of someone whose had it with things not going their way as when she walked Ignis caught up to her as Ignis looked to her. "Ms. Schnee." Ignis called as Weiss glared.
"What?" Weiss snapped not realizing she just snapped at Ignis. "Oh Ignis I'm sorry I didn't know it was you." Weiss said as Ignis looked.
"Understandable due to your foul mood but perhaps you may be interested in telling me the reason for this." Ignis asked as Weiss looked.
"It's not me Ignis, Its Ruby!" Weiss called out as Ignis looked to her. "She's supposed to be a leader but all she has been so far is a nuisance and a child. She's done nothing to earn her position and now that I think about it neither did Noctis, he's supposed to be a prince and instead he's acting childish and lazy. Back in the forest Ruby acted like a child and only continued to do so and don't get me started on Noctis he's supposed to act in a manner that didn't put Lucis into question, he's childish and hasn't done anything to be a leader like you have Ignis!" Weiss ranted as she began to calm down.
"Ms. Schnee if I may where is all this coming from really, I had seen your talk with Ruby about working together and how you believed in acting like a team." Ignis said as Weiss sighed.
"If it was a team lead by you or Noctis maybe but with Ruby I rather drop out then be in a team lead by her." Weiss said as Ignis saw where it was coming from now. "Ignis you have to admit we both studied and trained and quite frankly I believe we both deserve better." Weiss said as Ignis saw it now. "Ozpin made a mistake." Weiss said as Ignis looked to her.
"Are you quiet done yet Ms. Schnee?" Ignis asked catching Weiss off guard. "If so then I have a counter argument. For starters Noctis and Ruby's childishness as you called it, you must remember that Noctis is a year younger than most of us and Ruby is two years younger than most of us first years with Noctis being the exception as she is a year younger then him. Now as we take this into fact you can't expect them to grow up overnight that takes time and patience." Ignis began as Weiss was surprised. "Yes I understand that Noctis may seem like he isn't best suited to be the role of leader but I believe in him because he has lead me and my cohorts on many hunts because there are times that my strategies fail and Noctis shows his metal by thinking as he goes." Ignis said as Weiss was surprised by this.
"Noctis hasn't lead us astray as of yet and I for one and proud to be on a team lead by him, further more I have heard how Noctis puts his faith in Ruby and she hasn't let him down yet I believe both of them are deserving of their rank and you should be proud to be Ruby's second in command as your name does come second in the team name." Ignis said as Weiss looked down sadly.
"Yeah but it still means I'm second best." Weiss said as Ignis adjusted his glassed and placed his hands on her shoulder.
"Weiss whatever you grew up as or with you must not let it shroud you at all, if you need someone to talk to I shall be willing to listen as with your team. Weiss this is your life and you path you walk it with your head held eye and stand tall." Ignis said as Weiss couldn't help but smile. "You know what I see though Ms. Schnee?" Ignis asked as he looked to a reflective surface in the hall to which Weiss also looked to.
"I see a caged bird looking for a way out of her cage so she may spread her wings and soar high regardless of the outcome and perhaps become an angel while she is at it." Ignis said as Weiss couldn't help but blush as she saw Weiss put his arms around her shoulders as both were unaware of a certain photographer snapping silent pictures of the two. "Weiss this is your life to live, you are not some doll sitting in her house for people to toy around with you are simply Weiss Schnee." Ignis said as Weiss was blushing beet red right now.
"Ignis." Weiss began but Ignis stopped her.
"Feel free to call me Iggy if you wish or Specs whichever you feel comfortable with." Ignis said as Weiss smiled a bit.
"Iggy, thank you I really needed that." Weiss said as she hadn't had anyone talk to her like that since her family's butler. "Iggy I may be open to talking about some of my problems, perhaps over dinner." Weiss said as she has basically asked Ignis out on a date.
"Perhaps I shall take you up on that offer soon Ms. Schnee." Ignis said as Weiss smiled and began walking away as she now had a date with Ignis as Prompto had ran off to tell the others in the dorm room and the rest of Team RWBY and JNPR.
(Meanwhile with Ruby and Noctis)
As the duo walk down the halls as they walk about a Ruby look down as Ruby said, "I don't understand, what I did to make her upset? Did I do something wrong?"
Noctis stop as he put a hand on Ruby shoulder making her stop as well as she turn to him as he said, "It's not you Ruby, and you didn't make a mistake. I know what kind of person Weiss is or has come from. It's not what you did, it's what she wants or expects, to be the team leader or for you to act more… military or noble-ish."
Ruby looked at him and said, "Should… I really act more like that then?" Noctis shakes his head and said, "No, you should not change to be a person someone expect you to be when you're not. You can only be you, and no one can change that."
"Yes but… What about Weiss as she-
"She would have to get used to things, as she may have things given to her on a silver platter, and if it wasn't for my father who wanted me to earn something, I may could have be like her, which thank goodness I'm not, but anyhow… things take time for people to get used to what has happen, and maybe one day you two can be on more friendly term than just team mates," Noctis explain to Ruby things take time to help settle, Ruby did hope she and Weiss can be bestie's.
"Well look who it is," Someone voice came up as Ruby and Noctis ahead and see Cardin Winchester, and his team walking up to them as Cardin said, "The prince himself and with the little girl too."
Noctis stood there and said to them, "Is there something you four need?"
Weiss and Ignis came around the corner as Ignis saw what was going on as he held a hand up in front of Weiss to stop her for the moment as she look at him about to Question, until he give the 'Shh' sign, to be silent for the moment and then pointed out to Ruby and Noctis with Team CRDL in front of them.
"Well for starters you are probably the richest person in the school other than the Schnee slut." Cardin began as Weiss was puffing up her cheeks no doubt angry at being called a harlot.
"Is this another one of those cliché bullying thing where you try and harass me to get my money and make me a victim?" Noctis asked as these guys had no idea who they were dealing with.
"Yeah!" Cardin yelled as Noctis looked.
"Oh." Noctis said as Ruby saw where this was going.
"Now then little Prince." Cardin began only to be sent flying off his feet to the floor as Noctis had gave Cardin an uppercut knocking him off said feet.
"Oh sorry was that too early?" Noctis taunted as he may have thrown then first punch but Noctis was approached by Cardin in a threatening manner so he could still play it off as self-defense.
"Why you." Cardin growled as he was ready to kick ass as his team clearly wasn't letting their boss getting uppercut lying down.
"How about you four walk away and we can all go home happy." Noctis said as he didn't need this turning into an incident any time soon.
"Oh we will be happy, but you won't," Cardin said as he crack his as his other teammates got ready to beat the prince of Lucis as Ruby was about to step in and help him until he held out a hand to stop her as he said, "I hope to avoid this… but you if you wish to fight me, not the best place to do so."
Noctis reach into his pocket as Weiss look and see that Noctis pulls out a… eraser as she thought, 'Why did he pull that out of his pockets, why not summon one of his weapon and deal with these delinquent?'
Cardin chuckled and said, "We'll see. Get him!"
As his three teammates charged at Noctis, he throw the eraser at one of them as it came close to hitting them, at that moment, Noctis warp as his hand grab hold of the eraser and punch the guy in the middle with the Mohawk knocking him back as the other two stop before they look at their comrade being taken out like that, they both ran at either side of Noctis before he throw the eraser back as he wrap away at the right time with the other two crash into each other.
Noctis stood right back next to Ruby, as the hooded girl watch in 'Aw' at this as she saw Noctis two guys and make the other two take out each other as Cardin is surprise and angry at this as he said, "What wrong with you guys? It's just one guy!"
Weiss was wide eye at this as Ignis said, "Noctis have been one to think on his feet first, attacking first to catch them off guard, even when holding back.
Carlin look to his teammates before Noctis said, "Can you think of anything better than straight up attack me?"
"Shut up! You just hit and running! We're are born and raised in Vale were we fight straight out. you just came from that crap of a kingdom that just recently join with the rest of the world that join because they were cowards just like you," Cardin said as Noctis wasn't going to let the punk get to him as he knew his birth kingdom was more than anything else, but Cowardly.
"You take that back, Noctis isn't a coward. As the only ones I see who is, are the ones that saying it," Ruby said surprising Weiss at this, as she knew herself she wouldn't say something like that out loud as Ignis started to say, "Another thing that makes a person qualifies to be a leader, not only to speak out for themselves but for others as well taking it to heart."
Weiss look at Ignis for a moment before looking to her team leader as she wonder what else she got that she, herself doesn't.
Cardin blew hot air from his nose and said, "You little brat. When I get my hands on you, I will make you my little bit-
'Pow!'
Noctis throw the eraser in the middle of his saying, before wrapping over and punch the punks in the face again and send him back as he said, "This is between you and me. If you bring anyone else into this matter, I will personally hurt you more than that."
Weiss feels… inspired in a way by that, as Noctis would make things stay between him and anyone else even going further to threaten that person to get his point across, as Cardin stood up now more mad than before as he said, "Who give a crap! Your dead meat Princess, and your little hooded bitch too."
Soon enough Team CRDL were back on their feet as they surround Noctis, and a little more ready than before, as they seem they were about to attack until a red blur ran pass them with the site of rose petals leaving behind them as Ruby using her semblance to distract them for a moment as she trips them up and making them fall down before standing next to Noctis as she said, "Why do you guys have to be so mean."
Noctis chuckled a bit as did Ignis, and Weiss sighed as she wonder what is she going to do with her team leader as Cardin didn't say a word but just gotten up once again and about to attack as Noctis ready for anything, he saw something before he put away his eraser and stick up his free hand and signal to Cardin as he wave his hand to him like saying, 'Bring it.'
Cardin yell out as he rush to Noctis and raise a fist to him until a voice call out saying, "What is going on here."
Everyone looked and saw Ozpin there as everyone straighten up. "Sorry an altercation happened here, team CRDL tried to attack me and I had to defend myself." Noctis said as Cardin glared.
"That's not true these two attacked us for no reason, right?" Cardin countered as his team was more bruised then Noctis and Ruby.
"That's not true! You insulted Noctis home and tried to bear him up I saw it!" Ruby called as this might cause an argument.
"It's true!" Came a voice as Ruby looked and saw Weiss and Ignis there as Ignis held a scroll. "Team CRDL attacked our leaders here and would have caused a brawl if you had not shown up Professor," Weiss said as Ignis nodded.
"Yes Noctis and Ruby had acted out of self-defense." Ignis said as Ozpin looked.
"Very well Team CRDL leave this area and report to Glynda for the next month for detention." Ozpin said as he looked upon them with a Stern look. "She will be expecting you and as an added bonus I believe the dorms require a bit of cleaning I hear the cafeteria had served a bit of a gassy type of food." Ozpin said as CRDL was wide eyed before running off. Ozpin then smiled as he looked to Ignis and Weiss. "Thank you for speaking up for your leaders you two, you truly are good teammates." Ozpin said before the two nodded and Ozpin left.
"Now then since that is out of the way I suppose everyone wishes to partake in my cooking correct?" Ignis asked as he clapped his hand together as Weiss and Ruby smiled and nodded vigorously as Ignis cooking is to die for.
"Yeah better deal with our next class though since it's something you could use Weiss mainly involving tonics and crafting potions." Noctis said as he knew who the teacher was, one Crowe Altuis a Kingsglaive from Lucis.
Noctis wasn't sure what Ignis had said to the Schnee heiress, but the look of thinking was unmistakable on her face. He caught Ignis's eye that seemed to say 'it's taken care of'. Nodding his head in understanding everyone turned their attention to the newest Professor of beacon. Ruby had an odd sort of déjà vu as she looked at Beacon's academy newest professor. That was answered when Jaune awkwardly blurted out that she looked like Miss Goodwitch's long lost sister. Unbeknownst to the hunters and huntresses in training the Glaive turned teacher had heard all the muttering and, with a smirk befitting a teammate of one Nyx Ulric, started to address the assembled students.
"Greetings prospective hunters and huntresses of Beacon. Welcome to Alchemy." As she cast her gaze over the class she smiled at their undivided attention. "Now there are several things I want to say before we get into questions."
With the undivided attention on her she started. "Firstly, this is the newest addition to Beacon's curriculum. In this class, you will be learning how to make curatives for various situations, such as potions for injuries and ethers for aura repletion. Further into the term you will be learning different combinations for other restoratives, such as antidotes and higher level potions."
"Secondly I will not tolerate any misbehaving. Of. Any. Sort." Her words were punctuated by the slight frost that covered the room, effectively silencing the student body for her to continue. "I do not care if you have problems with each other, human or Faunus or whatever. You mess up and there will be punishments doled out to all involved parties. I was not known as the mistress of the Glaives for nothing after all."
After the fear of death-ahem punishments was thoroughly entrenched into them Crowe started again. "Finally is my, likeness to Miss Goodwitch. We are not related to each other by any means. We are colleagues. With a very good fashion sense." At this she got chuckles, dispelling the tense atmosphere that she had knowingly created. Sitting on the edge of her desk she spied the top of her desk to show the class their first assignment of the year. A simple reading and essay. The main purpose of this first class was to answer questions, as she had done with the previous classes.
"Now then the purpose of this class is to answer the, no doubt, numerous questions you may have." At this a couple of hands came up, though Crowe's trained senses indicated that some were hesitating before they asked. Pointing at the red, cloaked girl in the first two the question filled Crowe with all sorts of nostalgia.
"Are you part of Nyx Ulric's team?"
Crowe chuckled at the enthusiastic girl. "Yes I am. Though we have separated for the time being. Often he been working with" at this Crowe narrowed her eyes as she recognized some traits that the girl shared with her off and on again lover. "Qrow Branwen."
"Oh that's my uncle!"
"Is he now?" While Ruby did not hear the anger that one statement held Yang and a few others began to sweat from the pressure of the former glaives killing intent. "Would you give him a message from me?"
"Sure!"
"Then please tell him that he needs to contact the other crow. Moving on!" Crowe motions for another question While Ruby and Yang share a confused look. "Yes Miss…Nikos is it?"
"Will we be using any of the stuff we make?"
"Good question." Crowe continued as she started to pace the room. "At the start no. Any field trips or missions that you undertake you will be supplied with standard field kits. After one person on the team has shown sufficient mastery over any curative I will allow you to make your own for the entire team. In fact," As she turned her attention back to the entire class she regarded them before continuing. "How many of you have actually used a curative before?"
The four Lucians raised their hands immediately, followed by Ren, Nora, and Blake. Other students also raised their hands but the message was clear enough. "Alright. Miss Nikos might I have you help with a demonstration?"
Nodding at the request Pyrrha moved down to the center of the classroom. Crowe turned back to the rest of the student body as Pyrrha stood in the center. "Now for this demonstration I will show you the restorative properties of ethers. Can anyone tell me what ethers actually restore?"
Out of those that raised their hands Crowe pointed out Blake, who stood to deliver her answer. "Ethers are the most common form of aura restoration."
"Excellent. Now Miss Nikos can you pull your aura up please?" As Pyrrha was calling upon her aura Crowe had pulled out a monitor for everyone else to see. "From this we can see the aura levels of Miss Nikos. They are commonly used for combat class and the Vytal Tournament. Now miss Nikos I'm going to hit you with a simple fireball to deplete some of your aura. Are you ready?"
At the red-haired gladiators nod Crowe summoned a baseball sized ball of flame and flicked it at her. As the ball of flame hit a small percentage of aura fell off from the meter on the monitor. "Good now here is an ether. Now this is the important part of the demonstration. Almost all curatives will be in the form of breakable shells. The curative in question will flow into the person from the shattered container. Basically, make a fist to shatter the container and receive the curative." As Pyrrha nodded at the instruction she easily shattered the small vial of either. The monitor showed her aura filling back to full in sight of everyone.
The reactions for the most part were as she expected. Most were even more curios, while some were actually whispering about other effects and such. Smiling at the effect the little demonstration had she thanked Pyrrha and continued answering question until the end of class.
(Scene Break that Evening)
*Insert Final Fantasy XV OST Relax and Reflect
It has now become a tradition for the three rookie Teams of Beacon to have either a cookout or a well cooked meal curtesy of Ignis, supplies and such were handled by the Teams while Ignis and Weiss prepare a list and meals. It was discovered though that Weiss can't cook to save her life, she can bake to near perfection but in exchange she lacked other cooking skills.
Everyone had the table in the dorms private kitchen set up as right now they were just talking as Gladiolus was talking with Jaune. "Hey Jaune you have a minute?" Gladiolus called as Jaune looked.
"Oh sure." Jaune said as the two went a bit in private.
"So I saw your practice spar today and we'll I'll be honest it has a lot of room for improvement." Gladiolus said as Jaune looked nervous and guilty. "Specs even assumed you might have snuck into Beacon but if I had to guess if it's true that means what you lack in skill you more than make up for with brains." Gladiolus said as Jaune saw the praise.
"Oh Uh thanks Gladio." Jaune said as Gladiolus looked.
"Yeah well if you want me and Specs could help you train hell even Pyrrha can help because if you think the Grimm and Huntsman here were tough wait till you see the Kingsglaive in the Tournament in Lucis they'll eat you up." Gladiolus said as Jaune was guilty now.
"You guys think I need help?" Jaune asked as Gladiolus looked.
"Well you want to be the hero right?" Gladiolus asked as Jaune nodded. "Then yes see theirs a Glaive in Lucis called Nyx he's codenamed The Hero and let me tell you something most fighters started worse then you, but you have an edge with that brain of yours. So if you want to be the hero then let people help because even the greatest of heroes have a great team backing them up." Gladiolus said as Jaune was surprised.
"I didn't think of it like that." Jaune said as Gladiolus smirked.
"So we meet up tomorrow then for training then?" Gladiolus asked as Jaune nodded.
"Y-yes thanks." Jaune said before the two left to rejoin the dinner.
Nora was telling a story on grabbing a pack of Ursa pelt while riding on the back of a Pink and Green Chocobo which Ren corrected as Prompto laughed while Ignis cooked the meal.
All in all this night was for them was among many to cone one for them to relax and reflect which was helped by Prompto's photos of the day and the ones that made Yang, Prompto, and Gladio tease Ignis, Weiss, Noctis, and Ruby to no end.
(Scene Break later that night)
After everything was handled and cleaned up Weiss walked into the dorm and found Ruby studying as she walked over to her and found her sleeping on her books while Yang and Blake were sound asleep.
Pryna was on Weiss's bed as Weiss smiled at her dog before she then walked over to Ruby. Weiss cleared her throat while shaking Ruby opting her to wake up in shock as she looked to Weiss.
"Weiss! I-I was studying after dinner and then I fell asleep, I'm sorry." Ruby apologized as Weiss looked to her teammate before Weiss covered her mouth and shushed her before looking to a Beacon Coffee Mug.
"How do you take your coffee?" Weiss asked as Ruby was confused.
"Uh, I-I don't," Ruby began but Weiss cut her off.
"Answer the question." Weiss said sternly as Ruby yelped.
"Cream and five sugars!" Ruby called out as Weiss then sighed.
Weiss sighed before speaking. "Don't move." She said before going down before the sound of moving and shuffling was heard before Weiss returned with a mug of coffee. "Here." Weiss said before passing the mug to Ruby.
"Um, Thanks Weiss." Ruby said as Weiss looked to Ruby before smiling.
"Ruby, I think you and Noctis have what it takes to be great leaders and for Noctis to be a King. Just know that I am going to be the best teammate you'll ever have." Weiss said making Ruby smile as she assumed Iggy talked to her. "Good luck studying you and Noctis will need it." Weiss said before heading to her bed at the bottom bunk. Weiss then returned real quick as she saw an answer and note was wrong. "That's wrong by the way maybe tomorrow you and Noctis should accompany me and Iggy to study so you two can get caught up as we will be up bright and early tomorrow." Weiss said as she then went back to her bunk causing Ruby to gasp at that first part.
(With Noctis in NIGP dorm room)
Noctis woke up suddenly as he shot up as his early morning bird senses were tingling. "Someone will try to wake me up early... crap." Noctis said as he needed his emergency ear muffs stat.
(RWBY Dorm Room)
"Hey Ruby." Weiss began as she was at the bathroom door.
"Uh huh?" Ruby asked as she looked to Weiss at the door.
"I always wanted bunk beds as a kid." Weiss said before she went to shower while Ruby went back to studying.
(Meanwhile is Insomnia)
Regis looked worriedly at the night sky as to think the Star Scourge was on its way here which points to Ifrit and the Dark King being here in this world. This was terrible he knew but now the Prophesy has changed Noctis fate is no longer his own but also that of the Chosen Queen, the Queen of Queens to the Chosen King who is the King of Kings as both must deliver this world into Providence or say says Bahamut and Lunafreya.
Luna had already selected a new Oracle thus once Nyx had delivered the Phoenix Down to Ozpin to use on Amber he and Qrow set out to find this new Oracle. He or she should be identified with the ability to wield the Royal Arms known as the Trident of the Oracle. They had to be fast though if the Dark Queen and Dark King found the Fall Maiden before them then they will probably hunt down this new Oracle to no end. Of course he needs to factor in the 6 decibels of the Chosen Queen as judging by the Prophesy they may be able to utilize the Royal Power and its ability to summon the Astral Beings.
For now they needed to wait for Qrow and Nyx to find the new Oracle and bring him or her to Insomnia. Otherwise they may be in for a major disaster.
(TBC)
ESKK: Now then as I had mentioned there is a new Oracle now and as for who he or she is… well that's up for debate but I will tell you that they are NOT Ruby or any members of team RWBY or JNPR. Now then as I was saying I have dropped a few possible hints as to who the new Oracle may be but it is still up in the air as to who will be the new Oracle who is now a target of Salem though at this point it could be anyone in Remnant or Lucis even Oscar for all we know. Now then please leave a review before you leave and as always ja ne.
