A/N: Yeah, about 2-3 weeks or less/more. Sorry about that. Here's the new chapter by the way. Hopefully, it is not that bad but that is up for debate according to the readers.
By the way, to Man United supporters, Man United made a double-over against Arsenal!
Start!
-LINE BREAK-
Ozpin walked through the streets of Vale. And finally settling in a deserted café. Mind you, they have a good hot chocolate drink. It was so good that Ozpin HAD to order 3 of them, 4 including the first one that he drunk. All in all, despite of him being the Headmaster of a famous Huntsman Academy and one of the most powerful Huntsman to grace Remnant, he looked like a normal grown up man.
He was here after meeting with a untapped potential in the form of Ruby Rose. (Half) Sister of Yang Xiao Long, daughter of the passed away Summer Rose and the still alive husband of her, Taiyang Xiao Long. Just like her mother, she inherited the famous, or infamous to the villains that ever fought the silver eyed warriors, silver eyes from her mother. Not to mention her combat capability is remarkable.
A good week indeed. 4 days ago, he decided to take Gintoki under his wing, who is a young man that can bypass EVERYONE'S Aura. That is something terrifying to all enemy. But there is one catch. Yes, young Gintoki's Aura could not be unlocked. It is there, Glynda said so, but no matter how hard she tried, it just wouldn't budge. Ozpin tried unlocking it himself but the result was the same.
And then, he got a silver eyed warrior under his care. Sure, her mindset is still innocent and naïve, still oblivious to the cruel world they lived in, but he is sure that she will realize that soon enough. Now that he think about it, the candidates of the first year students hold so much potential. Heiress of the SDC (Schee Dust Company) Weiss Schnee, former White Fang Blake Belladonna, Winner of The Vytal Tournament (4 times) Pyrrha Nikos and much, much more.
Finishing his last hot chocolate drink with one last sip, he stood up to return back to the academy.
Though, before he went out, he asked for 3 puddings and a parfait.
-LINE BREAK-
As Ozpin walked through the hallway of Beacon Academy, deserted as it is considering it is half an hour before midnight, he is a bit excited of the coming days. Although that he is always excited before the start of the first semester and the initiation, this year he is much more excited.
He tapped the arrow that pointed up of the elevator, as it opened he went in. Ozpin has so much to think about this year. Molding the candidates into a powerful guardian of Remnant. One of his most successful students in the form of Team CFVY, is an evidence of his handiwork.
'Young Gintoki's story is something that is unheard of. War between two sides of controlling one nation. That is unheard of in Remnant, but perhaps there is a hidden settlement, not as large as one of the kingdom but big enough, and they were having a civil war.' Ozpin mused. 'But if it's as big as young Gintoki described, it had been reported to the council. But then again, if it's the council, they'd probably hid it from the world.'
*DING*
Ozpin stepped out of the elevator, and let in a deep breath then out, with a contented smile pasted onto his lips.
"Ah Glynda, where is young Gintoki?" Ozpin asked his right-hand man (read: woman in this case).
Glynda who was unsurprised by his arrival, answered with grace. "I'm afraid that he is roaming around once again, Professor Ozpin. Is that puddings and parfait?"
Ozpin gave her a chuckle as his reply. "Perhaps it is, perhaps it is not. Do you know of his last whereabouts?"
"Unfortunately, I have no clue. But perhaps, Team CFVY have some clue." Glynda shook her head.
"Then I shall do that right away, I will be away for a while." Ozpin waved his right hand with his back to Glynda.
-LINE BREAK-
In the courtyard of Beacon Academy, near the statue, there is a tree. And on top of one of the branches, the highest, laid on Sakata Gintoki. He is sleeping as you can see, with his hands acting as the pillow beneath his head, though there is a drool off his mouth spotted.
His eyes began to twitch for a bit before opening his left eye, aiming and locked on the figure of Ozpin, below him. He closed his eyes, but halfway-through it opened immediately after he smelled IT.
"Give me, Oz!" Gintoki shouted, as he now in a sitting position.
"Only after you come down here and promised to come with me." Ozpin replied back.
Gintoki growled a bit before pouting. "Fiiinee, you win this time." Ozpin's eyes widened a bit when he saw the silver head jumped down from a great height. "Oof, damn, that hurt a bit."
Ozpin sighed, then as he promised, gave the deserts to him. "Here. As I promised. Now it's your turn to keep your words and follow me." He didn't even wait for Gintoki, as he immediately resumed started on the walking.
"Hey, wait for me damn it!" Gintoki cursed before running to Ozpin. "Hey, hey, hey, Oz, how did you found me?" He asked, tilting his head.
"I asked from Team CFVY." Was Ozpin's simple reply, but just as he was about to continue, he was cut-off.
"I bet it was Coco. Grr, if she is just what her name means, I would eat her!" Gintoki angrily took a spoon of pudding in his mouth just as he said that.
Ozpin spluttered a bit but regained his composure. Gintoki's words caught him off-guard. His words are wrong on so many levels.
-LINE BREAK-
With Coco and Velvet
"Hey Velvet, I don't know what made me feel this way but I am happy that I am not born as a coco." Coco spoke to her female teammate.
Velvet raised an eyebrow. "That's too random and sudden, even from you."
-LINE BREAK-
Back to Gintoki and Oz
Both silver heads are now back into the older of the two's office. Gintoki already finished two of his puddings, he's on his third and it is only a quarter left.
"Young Gintoki, you need to lay off your sweets before you get diabetes." Ozpin started a conversation, though the third wheel that is Glynda nodded her head in agreement.
"Nah, you will probably the first one to get diabetes with all that hot chocolate you consumed. And I will lay off if you do with your hot chocolate." Gintoki's bland tone of voice shudder Glynda a bit, though she agreed with his first sentence.
"Touché, young Gintoki."
"I aim to impress."
Now, while the author that is me in this case forgot to describe it, he still has his sword that was given by Ozpin strapped on his right hip.
"Young Gintoki, I have a question. And this question might interest you for a bit." Ozpin's lips turned into a manipulating smile.
"What is it? If you ask if I want some of your chocolate, no I don't but I do want all of it."
Ozpin, hearing the young silver head words, put his mug far from his reach. "No, I will never do that. But back on topic, do you want to participate on the initiation?" Glynda's eyes widened a bit.
"But, Professor, it is our pol-"
"Worry not Glynda. You forgot one thing. Yes, it does said that the staff will not intervene, but young Gintoki is not a staff worker, so he is allowed to intervene. He is only under my care, not working under me."
'Ozpin's words made sense. But is it alright, even with his past, to send a child?' Glynda thought, worried of the child in the room.
"Participate in the initiation? Will I get a parfait, no, two parfait!?" The sound of the facepalm made by Glynda is heard loudly with a twitchy eyes from her.
Ozpin's smile turned to a smirk. 'You made it too easy, young Gintoki.' He gave a nod. "Yes, but maybe not 2, but perhaps I can give you 3 or 4 of them?"
"Count me in and consider it already done, Oz!"
-LINE BREAK-
3 days after that, in the morning. Gintoki is at the courtyard, watching the area filled by the candidates to be the first year students.
'Huh, that's a lot…' Gintoki raised an eyebrow at the amount of students qualified for the initiation tomorrow. Then came another weird moment as a scrawny frail blond boy vomited at the nearby trash can. He sighed and shook his head.
According to the students he'd seen so far, for the one that went in, only 45 to 50 percent will be worth their weight in golds. He'd saw it. Some that are only here just to gain reputation, some to get a girlfriend/boyfriend to have sex with, and the rest, are the genuine dreams of being a guardian of Remnant.
Just when he was about to take a nap, an explosion was heard. 'Although I have not gone to school before, I'm pretty sure your first day do not have an explosion.'
He went to the direction where the explosion was heard through the entire courtyard.
And when he made it there, boy was he surprised. In the area where the incident happened stood two girls, red and white.
Now, because of Glynda, he can read, though his vocabulary ain't that good but because of a book he read, the girl in red reminded him of Red Riding Hood.
'Maybe it's the hood?' Gintoki mused while raising an eyebrow.
Red Riding Hood is a fair-skinned young girl with silver eyes and black, neck-length, choppy hair that gradates to dark red at the tips. She appeared to be wearing a long sleeved thick black blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a black skirt with red trim. She also wears a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trim around the top and red soles.
What made her known as Red Riding Hood is the red hooded cloak fastened to her shoulders by cross-shaped pins. Her emblem appears as a large silver brooch and is pinned to a wide black belt slung around her hips on an angle, which also carries bullets and a pouch.
Now Snow White is another case. She looked like a ghost with that pale skin of her! What next, her body is as cold as the dead!? Ehem, back on topic. Snow White is a pale skinned young girl with pale blue eyes and long white hair pulled back into an off-center bun tail and pinned with an icicle shaped tiara. A crooked scar runs vertically down her left eye. The scar looks cool in Gintoki's opinion though he seen one much better than her scar.
She wears a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this she wears a bell sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar. On the back of the bolero is the Schnee Crest.
A small apple pendant on a silver chain and thin, rectangular silver earrings can be found on her, well ears. Her boots are white, wedged heeled and higher at the back than the front. They have a small silver decoration across the top of the foot and are lined in red. A thin white sash is tied around her waist with a pouch attached to the back.
"Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" Snow White raged.
'Man, she is blessed by one heck of a pair of lungs.' Gintoki picked his nose with his pinky while watching the exchange.
"I'm really, really sorry!" Red Riding Hood, though embarrassed, apologized.
"Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?" Snow White kept shouting at Red, without mercy!
"Well, I.. I.." Red didn't even get to finish what she was saying as she was interrupted.
"Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?"
Gintoki decided to intervene here, his heart could not bear to see poor Red getting slaughtered like that. "Ok, that's enough. Back off now.." But no attention was given. "I said, that's enough you dumb ass princess!" He shouted this time, with a twitching eye and a vein on his forehead.
That got the attention of both Red Riding Hood and Snow White, who were a bit baffled to see someone shorter than Ruby (A/N: I estimate kid Gintoki about 5'1 to 5'0). Just as Weiss decided to slaughter The Corpse Eating Demon, another passerby intervene.
"It's heiress actually." All 3 looked to the girl. "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."
The girl, another pale skinned girl, Gintoki wonder if they are cursed with it. With amber eyes and long, black hair. A ribbon is tied with a large bow on the top of her head. She wearing a black buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg, emblazoned with the YKK logo.
She also wearing black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. Her emblem is visible on the outside of both thighs just below her shorts in white. On her left arm is a detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A small, loose scarf is wrapped around her neck and a gray magnetic backpack is strapped to her back, hidden by her hair.
With what she said (A/N: NOT THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!), Snow White's ego increased to the size of Beacon Academy entire structure. "Finally, some recognition!"
Though in a flash, that ego is reduced to level one. "The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners."
Gintoki winced on that one. 'A bit too savage, don't ya think? Kitty cat.' He narrowed his eyes at her.
Red had to chuckles there and with that finally snapped Snow White. "Wha- How dare- The nerve of... Ugh!" She angrily stomped her way to Blake's face and grabbed the bottle, then walked off in a huff.
"I promise I'll make this up to you!" Red shouted to the distances away Snow White. She sighed, "I guess I'm not the only one having a rough first day… So what's…" Just as she was about to turn to the suspected kitty cat, there was no one there. "Welcome to Beacon…"
"Well, that didn't go well." Red let out a squeak as she forgot Gintoki was next to her. "Huh, cute squeak. I would go for you but sadly I'm not good for anyone else, and you're older than me."
Red's face go red of embarrassment. "W-what are you saying!?"
"Geez, I'm right here you know. Do you want me to go deaf, Red Riding Hood-san?" Gintoki picked his ear with his pinky, then blow it. "Name's Gintoki by the way, Sakata Gintoki. Sakata is Gintoki is my last name by the way."
Muttering a low 'sorry', she spoke. "I'm Ruby Rose. Though, I am not one to say, but aren't you too young to attend?"
"Mmm? Oh, no, no. I'm not a student. Just a nobody who was taken under care." Ruby let out an 'Oooh' from his response.
A shadow looms and they looked towards the direction. "Hey… I'm Jaune."
Jaune, Gintoki noted, is the frail blondie he saw vomiting earlier. Jaune is a tall teenage boy with dark-blue eyes that are emphasized by his short blond hair messily layered on his head with the right side of his hair nearing his right eye and the left side swept back. He is quite toned, having strong muscles in his arms, shoulders and upper chest. He wears a white diamond-shaped chestplate cut off above his lower abdomen and white spaulders with rerebraces set under them. Underneath the armor, he wears a black short-sleeved hoodie with detached reddish-orange sleeves and a dark brown image of the bunny rabbit Pumpkin Pete trimmed in white with cute black round eyes hidden underneath the chestplate. He also wears blue pants with a white patch on the left knee, as well as black sneakers with "left" and "right" written in black on the respective shoes' soles. Gintoki noted that two elbow guards with cords strung through them and he wears black high tops.
His introduction earned two response.
Gintoki. "Oh, your motion sickness gone now? And I'm Gintoki by the way."
Ruby. "I'm Ruby… weren't you the guy that threw up on the ship?"
-LINE BREAK-
Inside the walls are filled with scenic trees, arching architecture, and a winding road alongside a river, down which Ruby, Gintoki and Jaune are walking.
"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem than people let on!" Jaune complained, because of getting called Vomit Boy by Ruby, though he did give an appreciative nod towards Gintoki.
"Look, I'm sorry! Vomit Boy was the first thing that came to mind." Ruby apologized while laughing, making it hard whether she is sincere or not.
"Oh yeah? What if I called you Crater Face then?"
"Hey, that was an accident!"
Gintoki walked alongside them, though he did slow down so the two gets face to face for their arguments. He is not interested with their nicknames. But he did like being with them. Maybe this is how it feels like to have friends? He looked back towards the two with Ruby showing off a scythe.
"It's also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle!" Ruby looked happy with it, excited even.
"A-wha…?" Jaune questioned.
"It's also a gun." Jaune gave a nod, after the explanation to which Ruby smile after cocking it.
"That's cool!"
"So what you've got?"
Jaune took out his weapons. "Oh! I, uh... I got this sword!" Ruby let out an 'Oooh'. "Yeah, and I've got a shield, too!" He got his scabbard, raised his arm and expanded the metal into his defense.
"So what do they do?" Ruby asked, she looked almost jumping and down in giddy excitement.
"The shield gets smaller, so when I get tired of carrying it, I can just... put it away..." Jaune responded.
"But wouldn't they weigh the same?"
Jaune, though dejected answered with honesty. "Yeah, it does."
Ruby giggled. "Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons, sooo... I guess I did go a little overboard when designing it."
Gintoki was surprised hearing that but not as surprised as Jaune. "You made that!?"
"Of course! All students at Signal forge their own weapons! Didn't you make yours?" Ruby nodded yes while asking a question of her own back.
Jaune rubbed the back of his head. ""It's a hand-me-down. My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in the war."
Hearing the word war made Gintoki stopped for a while, his eyes narrowed, and his fists clenched, drawing blood but unseen by the other two beside him.
"Hey Gin-, Gintoki? What's wrong?" Ruby's joyful face replaced a frown, seeing the look of her new friend beside Jaune.
Gintoki hearing his name called by Ruby, finally snapped out of it. "It's nothing to be worry about, Red. What was your question again?"
Ruby, though still worried, decided to ask. "Well, we were asking of your weapon."
Gintoki did as he was asked, and took out his weapon. A scabbard in a color of black. With blade sheathed, it's handle colored in light purple. "Just a normal weapon mind you. No transformation, just pure katana." He unsheathed his the blade, revealing a clean and polished silver sharp blade. The blade gave an ominous glimmer as it's slowly unsheathed by its wielder.
"Woah…" Ruby and Jaune were awed by the beauty in possession of Gintoki.
Gintoki decided to sheath it back. "Well, you guys keep going. If you didn't know where to go look at the map for the auditorium, that's where you guys going."
Jaune and Ruby kept on looking the retreating figure of running Gintoki into the far distance.
"Well, to the auditorium we go then!"
-LINE BREAK-
Now at night, Gintoki is near the ballroom, but outside, on top of a rooftop of a nearby building.
Gintoki looked at the figure he made contact to. The form of Weiss Schnee, the suspected kitty cat, Ruby, and Jaune.
He smiled. These people, including those that he did not met yet, are his new purpose. To protect them, a promise of a lifetime he made when Ozpin took him in. Gintoki decided to head back in the building to get some sleep. Because tomorrow,
Tomorrow, there will be a bloodshed of black.
