A/N: And welcome back. So we finally got our character into Beacon. How will he adapt to the life of a student? How will everyone else react to him? Will break the ice and open up? We are about to find out soon.

Thank you to those who are still interested in this story even though it's just the beginning.

Also, shout out to merendinoemiliano. Thank you man.

In the bullhead on the way to Beacon Weiss POV:

We all watched as he slowly went to sleep, cradling his weapon as a child would a stuffed animal. He mumbled something, then stared snoring lightly. It was weird, seeing this mountain of a man who has lived here for years, who could scare the grimm into running and survive from of them, sleep like a newborn child.

"Awwww. He's just a big child. Isn't he adorable?'' cooed Yang

''Did you already forget what he did in the forest?'' asked Blake, still surprised by his antics.

"Look how peacefull he is and how he holds his weapon. It's like a teddy bear for him. Weiss, what do you think?''

''*sigh*He's such a weird man, but fairly nice all things considered." I stated, tired

"Why do you think that?"

''Well, I think he just looks overall weird. I mean, he wears full plate armor. There s nothing wrong with a few pieces, but a full set would just weigh you down. Thats why we huntsmen and huntresses normally use clothing. He looks more like a knight than a huntsman. Plus all the grimm furs make him stand out, since he is the first person I have ever seen that wears such clothing."

''But you said he's nice because?'' asked my partner curiously

''I think he is nice because he didn't show any signs of trying to harm any of us. He helped us again the Beowulves, altough he was very brutal and waisted no movement. Just clean strikes to finish them as fast as possible. And the way he killed the alpha, it was actually horrifying to be honest. He's still weird.''

"Wow Weiss, if I didn't know better, I would think you're interested in him'' teased Yang.

''WHAT! Are you crazy!, He's just a bloody brute. Nothing attractive about him."

''Girls, girls. Keep your voice down. You wouldn't want ot wake him up now would you?'' Ozpin said, amused by our conversation.

''Yes headmaster, I'm sorry.'' I apologized

''Headmaster? Is everything Ok?'' asked Ruby

''Yes of course. Why?''

''When you read his journal, you remained shocked for a moment. What did it say?''

Now that i think about it, he was actually so shocked that he almost dropped it. What could be written there in order to shock even the headmaster of one of the best huntsman schools on the face of Remnant.

Ozpin straightened himself, clearly reminiscing what he read and thinking what to say.

''Im sorry, but I cannot divulge his past. It's a very personal matter, and I have no right in telling you about it. I can only say that it was pretty bad, and i hope what I read is the only bad thing that is written there." Responded Ozpin, clearly trying to avoid the subject.

''So, he has lived trough something so bad that you cannot tell us?'' I asked

''Yes Miss Schnee. Yes he has. And you can't even begine to imagine.''

We just stood there, looking at Mave with a compassionate look.

''*Sigh* Another person with a tragic life. There are too many of them nowadays.'' stated Blake sympathetically

''That is why I decided to bring him to Beacon as a student, to try and give him a better life, to try to give him a purpose, just like I tried to do to everyone else.''

''Just like you said on the first day we arrived at Beacon" realised Yang.

"I didn't just say empty words that day Miss Xiao Long. I was fully aware of what I said.'' replied with a small grin

"Wait! How do you know what we were thinking?'' Yang was surprised Ozpin called her out.

''It was easy. I just looked at your reactions. You all seemed like i just repeated the same old speech without actually caring about what I said. To you, I seemed distant. I was always there, just wanted to see how far you would reach.''

We all stood there silently, letting his words sink, until we heard something coming from Mave's direction.

''*sniffle* Mo..ther...*sniffle*Why?*sniffle*

''Is he crying?'' Ruby asked?

''Why?'' I asked

''I heard he said something about his mother.'' said Blake

''You don't think his mother is..." Yang said, looking at Ruby with a sad look. Ruby almost started crying from the memory.

''*sniflle* I hope not. Nobody deserves to go trough that pain as a child.''

''Ruby...'' I placed a hand on my partners shoulder, trying to comfort her, while Yang was hugging her. Blake stood, giving a compassionate look alongside Ozpin. She started calming down a bit.

"Thank you guys, you're the best friends i could ask.'' said the young leader. After that, she sprung up from her seat with a big smile on her face. ''Oh I know what we can do. Headmaster, have you chosen witch team he will be placed in?'' Inquired Ruby.

''For now, I thought about letting him choose the team he wanted to join. Why?''

"Perfect! Then we have to convince him to join our team and everything will be great!''

''Are you sure you want on OUR team Ruby?'' I asked, slightly iritated

''Of course! it's clear he is going trough some stuff and that he needs help. So we will become his best friends and teammates he ever had.''

''You're too nice sometimes Ruby, but I like that about you.''

''Really?''

''Yes.'' I replied with a small smile. In that instant, a small red blur came at me and started squeezing all the my air from my lungs.

''Yay! Thank you Weiss, you're the best.''

"Can't...breathe...''

''Oops! Sorry'' Ruby gigled, rubbing the back of her head.

''If you all agree with this, then I will allow Mave to join Team RWBY.'' Ozpin replied

''Now we just have to convince him and were set!'' exclaimed Yang

''No...need*cough*...''

We all turned to see Mave looking at us, his head slightly tilted.

''Have you heard everything?'' He nodded.

''So do you want to join team RWBY?'' I asked. He nodded again

''Yay! Team RWBY has a new extra member! This is so cool! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!'' Ruby leaped at him and squeezed as tighly as she could.

''*laugh* No...Thank...You..." he replied as started removing his helmet with reluctance.

We all held our breath, waiting to see the person underneath. He finally took off his helmet and we all gasped in horror when we saw his face.

It was riddled with scars. Scratches, bite marks, burns. His left cheek barely had any skin and flesh left. He had messy dark brown hair filled with silver strands, probably from all the stress his body has gone through. His left eyelid was sewn shut, small black veins around it, also having a vertical scar on it just like mine. I couldn't help but trace the one over my eye. His right, dark green eye, was full of small red veins, and had bags under his eyes, probably because of the lack of sleep. He had a small gold ring in his left earlobe, missing a bit from his right one from a bite. He was the textbook definition of a man beaten into the ground, but, all of these scars surounded a smile. One of the most gratefull smiles I have ever seen a person have. He strained his voice again and said as loudly as he can, tears in his eye:

''Thank you...so much*cough*COUGH*!

He started coughing a bit a blood, and we all rushed to him, scared, but he just held his palm up to stop us and shook his head. He then crossed around with his neck with his finger and rested his head on the seat of the bullhead, smile still present on his face.

''You have been trough a lot, haven't you?''I asked. He just nodded, his smile going away for a moment before returning full force.

''Why did you take your helmet off so reluctantly?'' I asked, trying not to stare at his face. He sighed, tired, and pointed his finger at his face.

"Ohhhhh...Right. Sorry.'' I replied, awkwardly.

''Are all of these from living in the forest?'' asked Yang. He shook his head and tapped his helmet. We got scared, thinking what could he have lived through before staying in the forest. Ruby immeadiately tried to brighten up the moment.

''I can't wait for you to meet our friends, they're great!''

He got a worried expression for a moment.

''Ohh! Don't worry! You won't have to show your face if you are not comfortable.''

He sighed in relief and placed his helmet back on.

''We have almost arrived at Beacon, prepare for landing.'' Said the pilot.

''So Mave, are you ready to start your new life as a huntsman?'' Asked Ozpin. He nodded vigorously, stood up, grabbed his halberd and waited at the door. We landed, and the doors opened. The minute we all stepped out, he stood there in complete awe facing the main school building.

''Since you are part of team RWBY, you will stay in the same room with them, so do try to maintain some composure. You will also participate in the same classes as them, but on Monday you will have to go through the initiation just like any other student. Understood?'' He nodded.

''Good. Before I let you all go, we must go and inform Miss Goodwich of our new student and also fill the filles so you can be recognized as one.''

We all went into his office where Miss Goodwich was waiting.

''Headmaster Ozpin, team RWBY, Mr...?''

''His name is Mave Rick and he will be a new student at this school.''

''Are you sure about this Ozpin'' Glynda pinched the bridge of her nose.

''Yes Glynda. I have seen first hand his fighting capabilities and bonding with team RWNY , so i trust him to attend."

''Verry well, *sigh*. Mr. Rick, I am Glynda Goodwich, combat teacher snd right hand of Ozpin, so if you have anything you want to adress the headmaster, you can adress it to me." She lifted her hand for a shake, and he took it.

''*grunt*''

''Oh, Glynda, I forgot to tell. He is partially mute, so he cannot speak very well.''

''Oh. I understand. Now, can you take your helmet off so i can take a picture of you for the files?'' He noded and started to to take of his helmet slowly.

''Oh Dust!'' Glynda almost dropped her scroll when she saw his face. His expression sadened at her reaction and she noticed quickly."I'm sorry about the way reacted, don't worry. Everything will be Ok. It will just take a moment. He inhaled deeply and nodded. She quicly took his photo and he put his helmet back.

''Now that that's over, Mave, this is your scroll. You can use it to contact your teammates from a distance or browse the CCT servers. Team RWBY, please teach him how to use it in case he doesn't know, Ok?'' said Ozpin.

''Yes! We'll help him in any way we can.'' cheered Ruby.

After looking at us, he walked to Ozpin's desk, took out his journal and placed it on his desk, followed by tapping it twice.

''You want me to have it?''

''Study...it. You...*cough*...have...permission*cough*cough*.'' Mave said in his broken voice. Ozpin followed with a nod.

''Then if no one has anything else to say, then you may go to your dorm and rest.'' Ozpin concluded.

''Thank you headmaster. Good night'' we bowed and left the office.

Glynda pov:

After the children left the room, I turned to Ozpin, who was staring intensely at the book.

''Ozpin, What is in that book?''

''His past. And what I read is just the one of many horrible things he has faced. We will take care of this now, understood?''

''Yes.''

''Then go bring me some coffe please. It will be a long night.''

''Sure'' I nodded.

'It can't be that bad, can it. I mean, he was terribly scarred, so what has he lived I thought, not knowing what I was going to witness.

Mave POV:

'So i finally get a roof under my head. Huh, I thought theese would be bigger, but meh, beggars can't be choosers.' I thought while examining the room I will probably live in for the next four years. With four girls. Yeah.

''Wait. where will you sleep?'' asked Weiss

''Oh shoot! we totally forgot about that!'' said Ruby smacking her head lightly.

''*grunt*'' I pointed at the floor.

''What!? You can't sleep on the floor, It's not Ok!'' retorted Weiss''

I shrugged my shoulders, not knowing what else to do.

''You know, you could share a bed with one of us.'' teased Yang.

''YANG!'' screamed Weiss, Blushing.

''What, he has no other option''. she said seriously. ''It's either the floor or one of our beds.''

''Ummmm...''

''*cough*''

They all turned to see me laying on the floor next to Weiss's bed

''Ummm. Mave?''

''Good...Night*cough*'' I said, before grabbing my halberd and drifting to sleep.

''Well i guess that's that for now''. said Yang.

''Let's all go to sleep. This was a weird day.'' followed Weiss.

The girls went into the bathroom to change into their sleepwear and jumped into the beds.

''Goodnight.'' started Ruby

''Goodnight'' chorused the rest.

Before she went to sleep, Weiss took one last look at the sleeping form of Mave.

''Goodnight Mave.'' She said with a smile.

His new life began tommorow morning.
