The ride on the way to beacon was uneventful at best. A hologram of Glynda came on introducing everyone to the school. One thing that caught his eye was a girl that wore a dark brown beret that perfectly complimented her dark brown hair. One lock of her hair was next to her face and it was dyed a fiery orange highlight. She also wore a pair of aviator sunglasses that she lifted for a moment to wink at him.
'She's beautiful,' Zach thought trying not to stare.
'Oh, are you finally going to let somebody into your heart?' A voice asked in Zach's mind.
'No Hunter, I will never let anyone hurt me like she did,' Zach retorted.
'We share this body Zach, I just want you to be happy," Hunter said.
'Just be quiet," Zach said.
Zach sighed as he resumed scanning the room. He noticed a dark skinned guy about his age with all white eyes with dark crimson hair. There was scars all over his arms and even one on his lip. Looks like he could handle himself in a fight.
When they landed, his ears perked up as he heard a cry from behind him. He saw a girl with brown hair and bunny ears getting picked on by a group of humans. He understood the suffering of the Faunus myfirsthand and he emphasized with the girl. He walked over to the group and got in between the group and the Faunus girl.
"Is there a problem here?" Zach looked at the leader and asked.
"Nothing that concerns you welp," The leader said while going to shove Zach with his left hand. Before he could touch Zach, Zach grabbed his hand with a steel grip.
"Really? Because where I was looking from, you were pulling on this rabbit faunus' ears," Zach said looking at the girl. He released the bully's hand and kicked him in the crotch. Hard.
"Fuck! You bastard!" The bully cried out. The other bullies surrounded Zach with their weapons drawn.
"Well, at least they left that girl alone," Zach sighs as he pulls out a metal rod from his belt, it was 6 inches long(~15 cm) and 1 inch thick(~2.5 cm). He presses a button on the rod and lightning sparks around it forming a mid-handled blade(Nova Blood from freezing). One of the bullies rushes towards Zach and prepared to strike. When the bully swung his blade downwards, Zach stepped to the side, making the bully trip forward. Zach hit the bully with the bottom of his blade. This forced the bully to hit the ground face down.
"Gentlemen! Can we please not have a fight on the first day" Glynda said. The group dispersed and the Faunus girl walked up to Zach.
"Why did you help me?" The girl asked.
"I know the pain of being a faunus in a society that despises us," Zach replied.
"You don't look like a faunus," the girl said.
"Trust me. I am," Zach said briefly flashing all 8 of his eyes.
"Woah! That's … um … surprising. Anyway, I'm Velvet," the girl revealing herself as Velvet said.
"It's okay Velvet, I get that a lot. I'm Zach," Zach introduced.
"Well I'll try to see you later," Velvet said.
"I'll try as well," Zach said waving at her as he walked away.
In what Zach assumed was an auditorium, a large crowd of new students had formed and were waiting so they could be released for the day. Zach was making his way through the crowd when he was yanked from his course and into a woman. Upon further inspection he realized it was the woman that he noticed on the ride to Beacon.
"Hey handsome, I'm Coco. I couldn't help but notice you on the way here and wanted to introduce myself," the woman explained.
'She's even more beautiful from up close' Zach thought.
"I don't fraternize with your kind woman," Zach said turning away from her
'Come on Zach, she obviously likes you,' Hunter said.
'I don't care Hunter, she'll just toy with me like she did,' Zach said.
"Ahem," Ozpin cleared his throat to get everyone's attention, "For simplicity's sake, I'll make this short. You have all come here in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you are finished, you plan to dedicate you life to the protection and the safety of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy. In need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this. But your time at this school will show you that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step," after he is finished speaking, Ozpin walks of the stage. Then Glynda begins to tell them where they will be staying.
When everyone had arrived there, they began to change into their pajamas. Most of the guys had their shirts off and were flexing their muscles. There was no doubt in Zach's mind that they were showing off. Zach wanted to take his shirt off and stretch out his limbs, but he had to keep them a secret. When he looked over at the girl's response, he was surprised to see that they were showing off as well. Bending over and purposefully showing off their cleavage. Then his eyes found Velvet. He was pleased that she wasn't showing herself off like the other girls in the room. Zach sighed and went to sleep.
