Multiple Talking

The Next Day

After his incident, Juan was checked by Ms. Peach, who played as school nurse. While she had been mentioned in the show, she never did do an appearance in RWBY, so it made him exited to meet her. So when Juan saw her, he was surprised to see a Deer Faunus Scientist. She had a white lab coat with a teal dust crystal stitched on the back, which was the only thing you saw other than her black boots, because she was an actual responsible scientist, not like the ones you see in TV with their coat open or no coat at all or with their long hair down, safety hazards just asking to happen. Her short light blue spiky hair was combed to the side, but her sides were close-shaved, giving her a steam punk look, which surprisingly did not go bad with her deer horns on her head or her deer ears that were where her human ears would have gone. You would expect her color to be a type of skin shade due to her name, but apparently, her first name was Celeste, a lighter shade of teal and more on the blue side than the green. Just FYI, apparently my name was not a color because my dad said I reminded him of his grandfather, whose name was also Juan, so he decided to name me after him and not after a color. The Diego part came with my mother, who thought it was a nice second name. Anyway, Ms. Peach had seen my teal color scheme on my cloths, and suddenly decided I was her new favorite student. Not that I minded. Contradicting her calm and nice nature, it seemed she was the "Mad Scientist", a title she got by fighting off a pack of Beowulfs with a few ounces of dust and two glass beakers on her first school year. She was also kind of hot. She was more on the slim side, and was about 6'0", with a thin hourglass figure, but had legs for days. Anyway, she became interested on me after I survived night and made a full recovery in record time.

-Honestly, that was the first time I had ever seen someone heal so fast after having their aura depleted, especially one with internal bleeding. A Huntsman would take a full week to recover, and that's if they really push it. It really is a miracle your even alive.-(Peach)

-I guess that if Velvet wasn't there, I would have died. I guess I owe her one for being alive. I'm just thankful of being alive. - (Juan)

-Anyway, you should be able to leave, so I will leave you to change and get ready for team announcements.-(Peach)

-Wait, they haven't been announced yet? I thought they were supposed to be announced yesterday?-(Juan)

Celeste didn't really want for him to know that the school has a tradition to postpone the teams for mourning, which who let him know Beacon had given up on him. So she just said half a truth.

-Well, with you in the infirmary, Ozpin felt it was his fault things went so wrong, so he postponed the announcements until you were better. In a way, I guess I should thank you for the extra downtime. Anyway, team announcement is in about an hour, so you better get ready. - (Peach)

With that, Ms. Peach left the room. After she left, I started to change into one of my spare outfits with great care. While my cuts were healed, they were sensitive and could easily reopen with too much force, so it was wise for me to keep it easy. While I was taking off my hospital robe, however, the door opened and in came Ruby full force.

-Hey Juan, we came to pick you UP OH MY MONTY, WHY ARE YOU NAKED!-(Ruby)

Luckily, she had opened the door when only my back was exposed, so I wasn't really naked. However, I really needed to teach Ruby not to barge in without knocking.

-RUBY, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOCK BEFORE YOU ENTER! - (Weiss)

Surprisingly Weiss, who I didn't even see was right behind her, beat me to the punch and even dragged Ruby out by the hood. Once she shut the door, I changed as quickly as I could without aggravating my wounds too much, and opened the door. Outside, Weiss and Ruby was waiting for me in the hall. Ruby had her face covered by her hands, and through her fingers you could see her face was red. Weiss was giving her a cold look with her arms crossed. When I opened the door, both of them turned to my direction and entered the room without a word. I took the initiative to start a conversation.

-Ruby…- (Juan)

-Look, Juan, I sorry, it's just that I wanted to see you because I wanted to say sorry about making you pass out with my hug yesterday, so I rushed to the infirmary, and I was really excited, and I wanted to invite you to the team naming, so I forgot to knock, so I'msorryicameinsidewithoutknocking!-(Ruby)

Luckily, I was able to understand her due to the many years of Ruby exposure.

-Ruby, you're spouting gibberish. - (Weiss)

Weiss, not so much…

-Let us just go to the team naming, and don't mention this to anyone, especially Yang. She would kill me if she ever found out. - (Juan)

Right when I said that, I felt a chill down my spine.

Across Campus

Yang was sitting down on a bench outside the auditorium. She had just finished drinking a canned juice when, all of a sudden, she crushed her can and had a strong urge to kill Juan.

-Huh, I guess he doesn't have to be present to piss me off. - (Yang)

And with that, she went into the auditorium for the team announcements, leaving behind a melted juice can and a now dented bench

Back With Juan

After leaving the infirmary, we headed straight to the auditorium. We found out that chair had been assembled in three columns, each column four chairs wide, and that each chair had a name, most likely the name of people who passed. While searching for our names, we found a row with team RWBY's names.

-Well, it seems this is where we split up. See you after initiation. - (Juan)

Ruby smiled. As I turned around, she said…

-Good luck with your team! - (Ruby)

I froze. I totally forgot. Ozpin had said anyone without a team mate would have their team randomly selected! I gulped as I realized I could be suck with Cardin, or someone even worse who was never mentioned. On the flip side, I could be in team RWBY or JPNR. I just hope my luck was good. This was stressing me out!

-Th-thanks! - (Juan)

I left to find my seat, but to my surprise, there wasn't one for me. I tried to ask the staff about it, but I realized there was no teacher or faculty member present. While finding the lack of faculty a problem, my more pressing concern was the finding my chair. If I didn't have a chair, this meant one of two things.

-The faculty forgot to place my chair. Simple mistakes, everyone does it. The problem was the lack of faculty there to ask about the chair.

-I failed the test. Technically, the task was to retrieve an artifact and bring it back, or join with a pair that already had the artifact. While I did do the trip, I didn't bring an artifact back or joined a two man team.

While thinking of these options, the lights dimmed. I then heard a voice behind me.

-Mr. Scarlentina, can you please follow me back stage?-(Ms. Goodwitch)

-But, isn't the ceremony starting? - (Juan)

-I know.-(Ms. Goodwitch)

With this, she dragged me towards the back of the stage. The team assignment had started.

Third-person View

The celebration had started as a typical graduation ceremony; with a speech. Ozpin had made a few remarks about how they were at an adequate fighting level, but they could always improve. After that, he started naming the teams. Like Juan had suspected, the chairs were arraigned so that the teams could leave the aisle easily, yet sit with their respective team. Throughout the whole ceremony, Ruby and friends were listening to try to see which team Juan would be, but he seemed he wasn't in one, since RWBY was the last team called upstage. While wondering where he was, Ozpin started to speak.

-I believe we have one last addition. While this has never been done before, I would like to introduce a new support unit, one made to help existing teams in their missions. While he will not be able to do his own missions until forth year, he will be able to help on missions other teams take if they deem them too risky for one team, yet too simple for two.-(Ozpin)

-May Juan Diego Scarlentina please come up. - (Ozpin)

From the back of the stage, Juan was pushed by Ms. Goodwitch towards the visible part of the stage, which resulted in him almost falling and a few giggles from the crowd. Clearly embarrassed, he tried to stand up straight, but still had a light flush in his face.

-Do to fighting off and surviving a horde of more than a hundred Grimm, I would like to nominate you to this position. While one of a kind, this will bring complications and hardships, others won't have to face. Even more, you will constantly have to adjust to multiple personalities and fighting styles, something others will guided into more gently much later on. I will only ask once. Do you believe yourself up to the task?-(Ozpin)

Juan took a deep breath.

-Yes, I do believe I can handle it. - (Juan)

With that, the crowd gave a respectful applause. While he walked off stage, Ms. Goodwitch came up to him.

-Meet Ozpin at his office after settling in your room. - (Ms. Goodwitch)

With that, she slipped him a piece of paper with the code to unlock his room into his right hand.

-Wait, I get my own room?-(Juan)

-Well, it's not really a room, more of a… sleeping accommodation.-(Ms. Goodwitch)

With that, Ms. Goodwitch walked off, brushing off what seemed to be dried stucco off her cape.

After Ceremony

Juan stood in front of his door room. What was odd about his room was that it was away from the others and in a corner, the only room to the left of the stairs. Wondering why, he entered. His first impression was …cramped. The bed was sideways, next to a window, yet the room was so small, there was virtually no space between the walls where the bed was, making the room 8' by 10'. By perspective, that was about the size of a studio walk-in closet. Also, it seemed this room had remodeling due to the smell of stucco in the air. There was no closet, but below his bed were three drawers. The only plug ports were next to his bed and above it was the light switch.

In short, he was going to need to remodel. He needed to get rid of his bed, it was too clunky. Next, he was going to paint the walls. Teal would do very nice. Next, maybe bring in a small table for homework. For now however, he was going to unpack his cloths and meet Ozpin. But before he left, he took out a stencil and a can of teal paint. He placed the stencil on the roof, and sprayed on the design of a wolf howling to the moon.

Now it was his room.

Ozpin office-Ozpin-

In his office, Ozpin was waiting for Juan to show up. He had been waiting for him to attend his school ever since he caught wind of Velvet Scarlentina, AKA Dawn. While her semblance may be spectacular, what interested him more was the semblance of Juan. Ozpin thought his semblance was to be a sort of battery, which helped power up Velvet's semblance. What he didn't know was that Juan gave her a powered up version of her semblance, which meant she actually had two, but because the semblances were so similar, they seemed to be the same one. The only reason Velvet didn't use her second semblance more often was because of the massive aura consumption. Until she grew her reserves to a full-fledged hunter, she would have to make due with her first semblance when Juan was not around.

What made Ozpin so interested in Juan was the possibility that Juan might be able to heal Amber, the fall maiden. With this, however, came the risk that he might not be able to heal her, yet still be associated. Either way, he would have to join forcefully if he were to be given the chance to help her.

Just as he served himself a second cup of coffee, a ding was heard, followed by Juan and Ms. Goodwitch walking thru the elevator doors. He seemed kind of nervous, and was standing next to the elevator as if asking permission to come in. With a nod, he called for Juan to sit down in one of his spare chairs, while Ms. Goodwitch stood behind him as a sort of guard.

After a few seconds, Ozpin decided. Inactivity was never his thing.

-Mr. Scarlentina, what is your favorite fairy tale? - (Ozpin)

Short, chapter, I know. I am fixing all the other chapters; I noticed that they had too many errors. Anyway, the real reason this chapter was so short was because it felt awkward to transition to the next Arc in the story. While this story does follow cannon somewhat, it will deviate at the start of third season. Thanks for the support!
