CH.3

The room Nero currently sat in was dark. A single light hung above the table. He was nervous, more nervous than ever. The door to his left clicked open and in walked in two people. One of them was the man from the video call the other day, the other however he didn't recognize. She was of average high, with long blonde hair, and had a riding crop and a scroll tablet. They both sat down across the table from Nero. The man just sat there drinking his coffee, as the woman began to speak.

"Good morning, my name is Professor Goodwitch. I will be the one administering your interview today."

"Nice to meet you, my name is Nero."

He stuck out his hand but was meet by cold air. He retracted his hand and sat silently.

"Your file says you attended Atlas Academy, with top marks, how would you describe your time at the academy?"

"Interesting, up to the point I rarely left the Schnee mansion. Other than that it taught me how to fight and protect myself."

"Okay, it doesn't have a specific weapon type down what exactly do you use?'

"I was trained to use many different weapons during my time at Atlas Academy. Mainly because Weiss used me as a training partner. But what I am most proficient with is my dual knives, my Datio and Shoto swords, and my pistol. Oh, and my ten rope darts."

"Ten, why would you need ten rope darts?"

"One for each finger, I use them to enhance my semblance."

"And what may I add is your semblance?"

"Electricity, I channel it though my hands and use it to shock and disable my targets. Down side is it must be direct contact. That's where the rope darts come in. Using their steel rope and steel tips I can attach them to enemies by throwing them and then shock from a distance."

Finally the man spoke.

"Now isn't that interesting. May I ask how you can across your semblance?"

"That… is a long story. I remember using it the first time years ago. I was twelve, I was with Weiss in a clothing store in Atlas. Her father told her to go try on a dress. As she entered the dressing room he got a call and went outside. I was left alone by the dressing rooms. I heard a scream. It was Weiss," Nero started to go a little pale,"I ran around the corner to see a man, he was dirty, and smelled like liquor. He was… he was forcing himself onto her. He ripped at the dress. I got so angry. I ran and kicked him off of her. I wasn't strong enough. He grabbed me by the throat. I… I couldn't breathe, I was scared. I felt a tingling in my arms. It stung. I reached up and grabbed his arms," Nero stared at the table."I… I killed him. I didn't know what I was doing. I just held his arms as he twitched on the ground. I finally let go when Jacques pulled me off him. I can still hear his voice. 'It's okay Weiss. It's okay. You're okay.' But it wasn't. I was a killer. I killed a man. It may of been in self-defense or in fear, or to protect Weiss," Nero looked down at his hands,"But I killed him. That image, the convulsions, the sounds he made, they still haunt my dreams. And that will never change. Since that day, I have learned to control my power. To put it to good use. That is how I found my semblance."

Nero looked back up at Ozpin. Ozpin sat there looking at him.

"That is all Glynda. We have our final student for this new class."

Ozpin smiled at Nero.

"Thank you sir. I won't let you down."
