Chapter 2: The New Student of Class 1-A!
"Hm? Good morning Aizawa. Care to fill me in on what happened?" A white mouse? Bear? Dog? Whatever it was questioned Shouta Aizawa as he carried a red clad girl over his shoulder.
"This girl was the one who triggered the alarms. Don't worry Principal. She's not a criminal, just a lost child." Aizawa muttered putting his yellow goggles away, and placed the unconscious girl against a wall. "Her name's Ruby Rose, and this was what she was carrying." He shakily held Cresent Rose with one hand, in its full form, unaware that there was a storage mode.
"Oh my, what an interesting weapon. It's quite advanced. I wonder why she would be carrying around such a dangerous tool out in the middle of the night."
"You'll probably think this is nonsense, but she's from another world entirely. She didn't know how she ended up here, but her world may be more advanced than ours, And judging by this weapon, more dangerous." He told the principal.
"Hm.. that does sound like nonsense, but you're the one that doesn't joke quite often about stuff like this.." The principal thought, rubbing his chin. "I guess if what you're saying is true, then this is quite a problem we have on our hands.."
"We should enroll her into U.A." Aizawa suddenly spoke, leaving the principal quite curious as to why they should do that.
"Why so?"
"We can teach her the basics of everything she needs to know while she's here, so she doesn't make a mess out in the streets. Her skills with the scythe are impressive too, and she could very well become a pro hero." Aizawa explained as the Principal listened intently.
"I see.. Does she have any supernatural powers? If so, we can call them quirks too."
"I kept my eyes on her the entire time so, none that I know of. Except this so called 'Aura.'"
"Aura hm? Do you mind explaining?"
He responded by focusing, unleashing his aura again, which made him glow in a white light, surprising the principal.
"My, this is quite interesting. How did you get it?"
"From what she said, this 'aura' can heal small wounds and block out damage." He explained as the principal looked on in curiousity. "It can be unlocked which she did so here."
"To gain your trust I assume?"
"Yes, and it worked." He deactivated it as he picked Ruby back up, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a dust crystal. "This was also the material she said that powered the weapon. It's an energy source back at her world."
He handed it to Nezu, as he inspected it curiously. "Hm.. this does look rather strange. And I can tell it has some other properties aswell. Do you mind if I hold onto this?" He asked, which Aizawa nodded. "It's been rather fun this morning but I must get going. I'll allow her into U.A, but she's your responsibility; I'll assign her to your classroom."
"Got it. I'll keep her in check." Aizawa finished as they parted ways.
Present
Ruby didn't get to rest by the time Aizawa left the room. The sun was already rising, so she made some coffee to at least stay awake the entire morning and read a book about heroes and the history of this world. An hour later and a huge crowd of reporters stood in front of the gateway to U.A, demanding a man named 'All Might.' Ruby was glad she wasn't out there, They kept asking the students about this man.. whoever he is. All she knew about him was that he was the number one hero in the world, and was incredibly strong.
Later, Ruby went over to the location where Aizawa said was a locker. She opened the locker seeing a few textbooks in there which she grabbed assuming Aizawa placed them there and replaced it with her things and got dressed for the day. She looked over the uniform she put on, which was similar to Beacon's school uniform, Bringing a small nostalgic smile to her face. She couldn't wear her cape, but she didn't mind much.
Anyways, Ruby hurriedly ran to her destination, Class 1-A, where she would meet a whole bunch of people who were from a different world. Except.. she didn't know where it was.
'He told me everything I needed to know, except where the class was..' she thought sourly. 'Gimme a break..'
She slowed down a bit, looking around the hallway she was in. How big was this school? Every hallway felt like it was endless, and every door she saw was huge and almost reached the roof.
"Alright.. I'm gonna be late, I hope Aizawa won't be mad." She muttered not noticing someone behind her.
"Hey, young lady! Shouldn't you be getting to class right about now? Class is about to begin in a few minutes!" A loud voice echoed behind her. She turned around seeing a huge muscular man with blonde hair with two bangs that looked like wings in a golden suit, smiling with pride. Some of his features were covered with a dark shadow, while his eyes gave off a small glint of light blue.
"O-oh, sorry mister. I'm sorta lost right now. I'm a new student here, so I don't know much of this place." She scratched her head awkwardly. The man flinched a bit, but remained smiling.
"So you're the new student Aizawa told us teachers about? Well, welcome to U.A!" He put his hands to his hips, while Ruby smiled back.
"Thanks, mister.. uh..?"
"..All Might!" He was quite surprised that she didn't recognize him.
"Right! Thanks mister All Might..." they stood there silently for a few seconds, the awkward tension between them, seemed to grow bigger until All Might cleared his throat.
"Ahem!.."
"Oh.. right! Can you tell me where Class 1-A is?" She looked the other way, embarrassed.
"Oh is that all? Take a left after this hallway and after that, take a right. That shouldn't be too hard." He pointed where to go, as Ruby sighed in relief.
"Ok, thanks again mister All Might!" She activated her semblance, bursting into petals and sped off earning a small bit of surprise from All Might.
"She's pretty fast.. very fast.." he turned around, getting ready to revert back to his true form before he heard a sound behind him.
"Wait..! You're ALL MIGHT?!" A high pitched yell echoed through out the hallway, as he turned back.
"Well.. er.. YES, I AM!" He did a pose, one hand on the hip while he had his other hand to his face, with two fingers extended near his eyes.
"Wow.. that's so cool! So that's why all the reporters are here." Her eyes shimmered with silver as she held out a textbook. "Can I have your autograph?!"
"Sure thing! What's your name young lady?" He asked as he pulled out a pen from his pocket.
"Oh! I'm Ruby! Ruby Rose. It's so cool to meet you. Aizawa told me a bit about you, you're the number one hero right?! What's it like?! Do these reporters follow you everywhere?! Is it a hard job?! What's it's like saving people?!—"
"That's enough Young Ruby." He interrupted her, with a sweat drop. "You remind me of one of my students.." He mumbled under his breath which she didn't hear. finishing his signature, he handed the book back to Ruby, who examined the autograph.
"Well, I must be off, see you in class! And remember; Plus Ultra!" Before she could say anything else, he dashed off, creating a gust of wind, and disappeared.
"Plus Ultra?.. Well, I better get going too." She told no one, dashing off as well.
Finally making it there, she spotted Aizawa lazily grab the door to the classroom, but didn't open it, seeing Ruby run by.
"Glad you can make it in time. Now, wait here until you hear my announcement. I'll make it quick."
"Alright, I'll see you in a bit." The door closed, as Ruby prepared herself, looking over herself every few seconds, to see if she was ready. A few voices could be heard, before it became silent as soon as Aizawa entered.
"Before we begin, Class say hello to our new student: Ruby Rose. Take time to talk to her. Class will resume in 20 minutes."
She could hear a few curious murmurs from out the door, which only seemed to make her even more nervous.
Gaining enough courage, she took a deep breath and walked through the door.
Ruby entered the classroom looking at a yellow sleeping bag as the attention was drawn to her. Noticing the stares she recieved made her blush in embarrassment and she instantly found the floor really interesting, while blocking her face from view with her books.
"H-hello.." she muttered, mentally face palming.
'Really Ruby? Is that the best you can do? Cmon, just say hello to.. the huge crowd..'
She felt like she was going to vomit. Ugh, or like Jaune on the airship for the first day. That was a mess—
"Hello! I am Tenya Iida! It's great to have you accompany us for this school year. We hope you enjoy your stay." A tall blue haired boy with glasses walked up to her, speaking in such a fashion that reminded her of Weiss; straightforward and serious.. except, he would usually swing his arms around, doing an array of different hand gestures just to punctuate his sentences.
She didn't mind any of that though, she was just glad someone actually came up to her. After his introduction, almost every other student came to greet her which made her instantly take back her words. Unlike Beacon though, everyone here was around her age, which made her feel a bit better, but she still felt overwhelmed by all the attention.
"Hello—"
"Hey, Ruby huh? So you're the new student the teachers have been talking about? I thought it was just a rumor. Anyways, I'm Eijiro Kirishima." A red haired boy exclaimed, pointing at himself while smiling. She tried her best to smile back, but instead it looked more like a creepy grin. She didn't have time to respond as another student walked up to her.
"Now for the most important person, I'm Yuga—"
"I'm Mina Ashido, it's very nice to meet you!" A girl with pure pink skin and hair exclaimed as she bounced in place, interrupting a blonde boy with blue shimmering eyes. Mina kinda reminded Ruby of Nora a bit.
"Nice to meet y-you guys t-too.." Ruby managed to smile, as more people came up.
"I'm Tsuyu Asui. But You can call me Tsu." A green-haired girl spoke out bluntly, who appeared behind Mina, putting a finger on her chin. If Ruby was being honest, she looked like a frog. Now that she thought about it, were there faunus here too?
"And I'm Denki Kaminari, nice to meet you." A boy with blonde hair with a strand of hair shaped and colored like black lightning smiled, giving her a thumbs up.
"I'm Hanta Sero!" A boy with a huge grin pointed to himself. He had black hair and his elbows looked like wheels for a car..
"I'm Toru Hagakure!" Ruby heard a voice say. She tried looking around before everyone pointed toward Toru, which only seemed to be a floating pair of U.A's uniform.
"The name's Rikido Sato." A tall muscular boy with brown spiky hair pointed to himself, towering over almost all of the students crowded around her.
"AND I AM MINETA!" A short purple haired boy jumped between her and the crowd, his eyes focused on her chest, while the students around him stared daggers into him. What an introduction..
"Im Ochaco Uraraka! And this is Deku!" Two students, the boy had dark-green hair while the girl had brown hair with two tails on the side, smiled and waved as they walked by.. well, one of them anyways, the other seemed like he was doing an impression of her.
"W-Well, uh my real n-name's Izuku M-Midoriya..!" He stuttered, while covering his face with his hand. For some reason, one of his arms was held by a sling, and he was covered in bandages.
"Well.. nice to meet you." Ruby mentally fist pumped, for not stuttering. "It's nice to meet all of you guys." She smiled, looking over each student.
"I didn't know U.A enrolled students after initiation." Iida thought out loud, before looking back at Ruby. "If you don't mind me asking, how did you get into U.A?"
"Well, I'm a transfer student, and Aizawa asked me to come here himself." She lied. Aizawa forced her here instead of even asking..
"Oh? You got recommended by Mr. Aizawa? You must be pretty tough then if you impressed him." Kirishima added as a few students nodded in agreement.
"Well uh, thanks. But it isn't all that great. I just sparred with him. Nothing much." Ruby tried disregarding their praise, but failing miserably.
"Wait.. you sparred against him?! That's awesome!"
"Yeah, you must be pretty strong!"
"Wow, with his erasure quirk, I'm sure he would've disabled her quirk and gave her a tough battle—" she heard Midoriya mutter under his breath, which made her stop everything.
"Erasure quirk?!" She basically shouted, seeing a small smirk from the supposed sleeping man in the corner. "I didn't know he even had that!"
The students remained silent, shocked that she didn't know about it, and still went up against him, impressing him enough to let her enroll here.
"Alright, now with introductions out of the way, all of you, get to your seats." Aizawa suddenly woke up, breaking up all the silence.
"But it hasn't even been 20 minutes!" A few students shouted.
"You're right. It's been five minutes. Now, cmon, we don't have all day." He muttered in a low voice, zipping up his sleeping bag.
Class began and everyone took their seats. Ruby sat behind a girl who she didn't recognize, but her hair was in a spiky ponytail and she sat behind Mineta.
Looking over the class, she noticed a few other people who didn't come and greet her, including a boy with half his hair white and the other half red. He seemed like he had a burn scar over his left eye, which made her a bit curious to know more about him. Another boy or.. bird. She couldn't quite tell what he was to be honest, but he had the head of a black bird while the rest of his body looked normal. Maybe he was a faunus too?
Finally there was a boy with a large tail and another boy in front of Midoriya, which both had blonde hair. She couldn't see the boy's face in front of Midoriya, but she could tell he was bored by his body posture.
'Alright. First day, and everything is alright so far.' She thought, smiling. 'Just like Beacon. Well sorta.. I just wished everyone else was here with me...'
'Hm.. I wonder how everyone's doing back on Remnant.. maybe they're looking for me? Or maybe—' she suddenly got a huge headache as she tried to remember. 'I-I'll just think.. about it later.'
Class began and past like a breeze, the lessons were pretty simple. Math questions that were as easy as pi, and some other stuff she didn't bother keeping her head up for. The bell rang and everyone went to lunch.
"Hey Ruby! Want to have lunch with us?" Uraraka asked, waving with a smile next to Iida and Midoriya; or Deku? She didn't remember.
"Uh, sure thanks Uraraka."
"No problem! I know you probably don't know a lot of people here. So I thought I'd ask."
"Well your right about that.. Thanks again." Ruby smiled as she followed the three, because she didn't know where the cafeteria was. 'Thanks Aizawa..'
The four sat near the edge of a table, talking about heroes and the future of their time at U.A; while chowing down on their meal.
"Ruby.." Iida spoke as he pushed up his glasses, gaining the attention of the girl.
"Ye—"
"Defying the acceptance rate of 1/300 and to get recognized and recommended by Mr. Aizawa himself, is a crowning achievement you should hold dearly." He explained as Ruby instantly sank back in her seat. "Sorry to introduce myself so casual before, I am Tenya Ii—"
"Seriously, Iida it was nothing. It was just Aizawa. Without my baby I would've been toast.." she responded as she earned some shocked faces. "B-baby as in W-Weapon..!"
"Weapon? What kind of weapon do you have?!" Izuku suddenly exclaimed as he pulled out a notebook. Where did he get that from? And how can he write with an arm cast?
"O-oh, well, it's a customizable high impact sniper-scythe." She exclaimed with a huge smile filled with pride. "It's name is Cresent Rose, and it's the best!"
"Woah.. that's amazing. But it's pretty dangerous for hero work." He responded as he wrote it down.
"Huh? You got that all down?!" Ruby said surprised, while Izuku looked on in embarrassment. "Yeah, I'm pretty used to writing about quirks and new heroes popping up.."
"Wait, heroes? Can I see that book?"
Ruby and Izuku instantly became fast friends, while Uraraka tried suppressing her laughter as they geeked over heroes, quirks, and weapons.
Eventually class started again and passed. The school day was starting to end, so Aizawa told Ruby to stay inside the building; specifically the staff room, since there was a couch to sleep on. Not much she could've done anyways..
The girl didn't have anything else to wear, so before Uraraka left, she asked if they could go shopping the next day. She told Aizawa who reluctantly gave her permission and a bit of cash.
Currently, she rested on the couch with just the uniform on, other than the stockings, jacket and tie.
She had a huge smile on her face as she thought over the second day of this world and first day of school.
"This First day was great! Made new friends, I have someone else that has the same appreciation for weapons, and.." her smile faltered. "Still no idea on how to get back."
She sighed, as much as she was enjoying 'Earth' she really wanted to see her friends and family again.
Yang, Weiss, Blake, Dad, Qrow, JNPR.. She missed them all. The thought of never seeing them again scared her. But for now, she kept her emotions in check, and wiped away tears that formed in the corner of her eyes. She made a promise to herself before going to bed.
"I promise I'll see you guys again.."
AN: Alright, the long awaited chapter, not much action, but next chapter will have quite a bit. The ending of this chapter was a bit rushed along with some other parts, but hopefully I didn't make the interactions too forced. I just tried focusing on the students and their interactions with Ruby. Also a virtual cookie if someone finds the two JoJo References.
Hopefully I'll get the next chapter up sooner than this one. Now, onto the reviews!
Reviews/
Guest 1: That is definitely a interesting pairing. I can even see how it'll play out, but to be honest, I won't even know how to write it. But if I do decide to do pairings, I'll keep this one in mind.
Guest 2: Team RWBY would definitely be looking for their leader..
Fernandamichelleraya: Thanks for the tips. Ruby definitely isn't always going to have Cresent Rose on her. Not much I can't tell you, other than she'll improve without her weapon.
CaptViper2000: Well I cant promise that I will abandon this story, as much as I'd hate to say it, but for now, let's enjoy this story while we can.
Dancingrhombus: You're right about the rushing thing. I tend to do that a lot when I write, even in real life.
Well those were all the reviews that I can answer. Sorry if the response seemed half-assed, I'm always busy with stuff. Next chapter should be come out earlier than this one though, if not, than I'm sorry for the wait.
