Chapter: 2
Ozpin had a rather normal day today, he had his morning coffee and looked through the documents of the new students which were coming later this day to start there first year at his school to become hunters and huntresses.
His eyes were talking a long gaze on a particular student. Ruby Rose, the girl he met only last night, the girl with the same silver eyes as her mother.
He leaned back in his chair and look out of his tower window which gave him a perfect view over his school. Thinking back on the things that happen, his face mad a worried expression .
The whit fang, who claw at the city walls, the criminal activities inside the city and now the mysterious group who seem to hunt the maidens.
The thought of his failure of protecting one of the maidens, who is now in this wounded state brought his blood to the boiling point.
Sipping from his coffee calmed his nerves, but the worried expression remained. Maybe Crow managed to prevent the assailants to take all of her powers, but enough to make serious damage. Plus, that group figured out the location of one maiden, the others might be in danger.
The elevator door to Ozpin's office opened and Glynda goodwich entered the room with Crow right behind her. "Good morning Ozpin" Glynda greeted followed by a simple "sup" from Crow.
"To what do I owe the visit Crow? You normally don't come to Beacon at the start of the year. Ore is it that Ruby and Yang wanted to see there uncle for there first day as hunters in training?"
Crow gave a little chuckle "no, the girls don't know I'm here. They are probably preparing there stuff before heading to the Bullhead. I'm here because Glynda here asked me meet you"
Ozpin raised a eyebrow "is that so? Well than Glynda, do tell us what the purpose of this meeting is" he thought she wanted to clear something up before the ceremony started, but what about dose Crow have to do this?
"Since the... Incident with Amber, I tried to gather any kind of information and sighs of magic. Sadly I could not find anything but I came upon something interesting. Something like magic appeared in the forest with regular pauses and before this strange event accrued, there was a strange weather anomaly recorded. I thought this was a
Maidens power going out of control but now I'm not sure what it is"
"Hmm, and when did this happen?" Crow's interest was definitely picket. Something magical that did not really connect to the maidens?
"The last spike of power was about 5 minutes ago, the weather anomalies started yesterday" Glynda informed both men in the room.
This was quite interesting for Ozpin. but whatever it was, he could not let it fall into his enemies hands " anything els?"
" well ... Yes. Apparently whatever that was, there are still traces of it. "
Crow raised an eyebrow "What do you mean?"
"Eight fragments', which are rapidly losing its trace of the original source seem to be wandering through the forest and are reaching in approximately ten minutes the city"
"Hmm, do we know what they are?" Ozpin was intended but caution gose first.
"No"
"Alright. Glynda, crow. I need to finish some business, you meant those... Whatever they are, observe and call me. If they threaten anyone, you are to engage. " Ozpin took another sip from his coffee after giving them the order.
"Good. C'mon Glynda, we don't want to miss this." Crow was already in the elevator before he finished his sentence
" Right " Glynda muttered before entering the elevator. Ozpin was left alone again with his thoughts.
After a couple of minutes, Crow was driving in his car in the direction of given to him by Glynda who was sitting shotgun and youse her scroll to pinpoint the fading signals of the anomaly.
"Stop here" Glynda order. After they got out of the car and sat down on a bench.
"Shouldn't we hurry before the signal is gone and not take a rest from ... Nothing?" Crow asked impatiently.
Glynda simply rolled her eyes. While crow was an excellent hunter and a good friend, thinking was her strong suit. "The Signal is already gone, if my calculations are correct, then what we came for is cutting the corner right... Now"
She was correct. The moment she finished her sentence, eight teens cut the corner of a building. They all wore the same black cloaks with read clouds and looked around themselves like everything was some kind of tourists attraction.
"Call Ozpin and tell him that the remains of the anomaly are apparently seven human teens and a oddly shaped teen fanus " Glynda ordered
Crow followed that command and reported that information to Ozpin. " tow of them appear to be armed with a tow handed sword and a three bladed scythe. Also all of them appear to be male with the exemption of one blue haired girl and a blond with Long hair. "
Over the scroll in Crow's hand , Ozpin's voice is heard. " do they appear hostile?"
"No, they seem to have a pleasant conversation with a fanus mother and daughter. Glynda, anything els ? " crow ask , trying to gather as much information as possible.
Glynda peaked her ears to eavesdrop as much of there conversation as possible. "They seem to think about becoming hunters . Most of them look like they could even be already hunters in training."
After a momentary pause Glynda sight " I know what you are thinking and yes we still have enough space."
Ozpin chuckled " alright offer them a chance to join us but do not force them. " with that Ozpin ended the call.
"Is this some sort of new hobby of his" Crow joked
Glynda rubbed her temples " I don't know if I can take this as a joke. Come, lets meat potential new students " and with that Glynda made her way to the teens " you stay here crow and help me if things go wrong "
After moving a couple of feet, Glynda could clearly hear Nagato's Voice which asked for information about the hunter job . " I could help with that" to that Nagato turned around and looked Glynda in the eyes.
Glynda had to do her best to keep her composure after she gazed in the teens strange eyes. " let me introduce myself, I'm Glynda goodwich one of the teachers at beckon academy and I overheard you wanting to become hunters "
Nagato looked behind him to see if anyone has a opinion on this woman who just popped out of nowhere before them . He was met with raised shoulders. " alright miss goodwich, what dose some academy have to do with us being hunters? "
" well, you can't work as a hunter if you haven't absolved a few years of the academy in which we train our students in knowledge and give them purpose as protectors of the world. " Glynda wanted to continue but was interrupted by Hidan
"Fuck that " most members and Glynda turned to Hidan " we are more than capable of killing and are probably more than capable to be hunters. "
" most of us " muttered Kakuso " anyway we need a job, not an education "
Glynda though that this might happen and was prepared. " I guessed you need a money and a place to sleep. But you should know that students have dorms, have free meals , get a bit of pocket money and of course free time in which you can do as you please and by Hunter equipment cheaper than anywhere els "
With a trained eye one could easily see a little star in Kakuso's eyes while he hatched a plan of cheaply buying gear and quickly selling it.
Nagato thought a moment until he turned back to Glynda. " what do we need to attend your academy?"
Glynda had a smile on her face, she was pretty sure she had them where she wanted " normal, a hunter needs a weapon and fighting abilities that lets one survive a Grimm attack. Some of you appear to be already armed " she looked at Hidan and Kisame.
Deidara quickly replied. " most of us don't youse weapons, like myself. I youse the powerful explosion of art! Hm!"
" whatever you youse is non of our concern. Today the new students arrive , tomorrow is the initiation. If you fail this, you won't be Abel to attend beacon "
Nagato turned to his teammates again. " any opinions?"
" financial, this is the best opportunity till now " Kakuso quickly answered
" I defenetly don't want to sleep outside" Konan stated
" bullshit" Hidan muttered
"We could youse the training , we don't know if we gotten weaker in our bodies " Itachi argued.
" and we see how strong these hunters are " Kisame said with a toothy grin
" plus we see what kindle of technology they have " Sasori said with no particular emotions
" and food " Deidara quietly said not wanting the other people to know he was starving.
" alright, it's decided. We expect your offer " Nagato stated , while looking at Glynda.
While Glynda wasn't really sure what they were talking about, she was pleased everything went mostly swimmingly " very well , if you would please follow me " and with that, the group were following Glynda to the bullhead.
Meanwhile, Crow observed the hole scenario and called Ozpin. " Oz, this year is going to be very interesting."
