Chapter 7: Start Of A Legend
Ozpin
"These students are truly interesting that you have chosen to enroll." I take a sip out of my coffee mug enjoying the flavor of the rich brand coming straight out of Vacuo.
Glydia sharing her opinion as always with me. She helps in a large deal with me to run the school the way I would like to. She also alerts me when the council are making a move against me on a decision I have made.
"They have tremendous potential this year. I firmly believe this year might be the best group gathered in the last eight years." Watching her scroll through video feeds on her scroll I saw all the different students making their way back to the cliff after finding the relics, grouping up and coming across the different sites we setup.
"Don't you think you're overestimating them sir? True this year enrollees have a larger aura pool and unique skills but we have plenty of third years that are better than most of our fourth year students." She adjusts her glasses after making her claim. She always had a fire in her eye when she wanted to correct me about something. Part of the reason I enjoy her company and another reason she's also one of my closest allies. "That may be true but this year is far more ahead of the curve than that group was at their age. Look at Mr. Buster for example."
She pulled up the file that was made of his performance test results we complied. "He has excellent aura control and manipulation. The highest I've ever seen in one so young. That's not mentioning his combat ability and strength. I know a few Huntsmen who pale in comparison to his skills." I feel a smile on my face forming as I spoke. Young Topaz was in a loss of better words a diamond in the rough. It was as if the God of Light made his a bit better than most people of his generation.
"I do not argue but his experience and mental state are still things we have to take in account. He is lacking social norm standards and his anger is something that needs to be handled soon rather than later." I nodded at her assessment. Topaz held much anger in his heart like most young Faunus his age nowadays but his stemmed deeper than that.
"What about the others I recruited such as Mr. Gray, Ms. Tartarus and Ms. FairNeil? What's your opinion on those three?" She swiped again pulling all of their files up on her scroll.
"You and your risks you take surely Ozpin. I would have assumed you learned from your mistake with the Branwen twins. Even if Qrow panned out he's still a depressing drunk and his sister now a bandit leader with skills as a Huntstress." Having finished her rant I extended my hand as to let her continue. She let out one of her huffs and looked back down.
"Mr. Gray is an interesting case he graduated from Sanctum with high marks in his grades and top of his class in combat. I was one of the many scouts that was trying to recruit him after he won his first championship Mistral Tournament but he denied all interviews. Out of everyone he has the most upside in terms of skill, power and speed. One of the things that are troubling is his past which we know nothing about."
Understandable when he arrived at Sanctum he asked to enroll with no history of where he came from but that he was a native of Vale and when asked to show his skill the boy made a interesting request. Bring me your top students 1-10.
After his performance tests were done he proceeded to defeat all ten of those students. Earning him a place at the school and top of the school student body in a instant. Nobody knows where he came from almost as if his past was hidden away.
I knew better. I know Laurentum better than anyone else. After all I was the one who helped trained his mother into the woman she became when she attended Beacon years ago when she chose Vale over her homeland Atlas and much to my dismay I also trained her killer. The person Laurentum is no doubt searching for.
"His past is of no importance as I always tell you Glynda. He came to us to use our resources to find whoever he's looking for. In return we will teach him to the best of our abilities and guide him." She squinted her eyes at me. She had her ways of looking deep into what I may be hiding. Some secrets I have to keep even from you Glynda.
"Of course but his dual-personality this "Loki" could pose a problem. Also his lack of empathy is also a large issue. While as Laurentum he has extreme focus on assignment, but he cares little of others if they don't contribute to the mission they aren't needed. Meanwhile as Loki he is wild and unpredictable but he does show emotion towards others. Looking past this he is a highly skilled student."
She moved on to the next file on her scroll. "As for Ms. FairNeil of course James wasn't too pleased when she chose us over his Academy." Of course he wouldn't he has a very clear controlling nature but he does want what's best for his kingdoms safety. "Without going to combat school but trained by advisors she is equal to student who actually went to said schools but her experience is lacking with little Grimm interaction. I worry her sheltered upbringing will be a hurdle she must overcome to continue her growth but she has the tools for success." As always Glynda's analytical mind impresses me beyond belief. She may come off as cold to her students but she truly wishes for their greatest growth.
"And finally we have Ms. Tartarus. She is one we have no information of. Like Mr. Gray her past is shrouded in mystery but if she's able to hold her own against a person like him then I can see why you let her in the school off talent alone. Of course sir I wonder if she was accepted because she held her own against Laurentum or was it her eyes?" I smirked as I finished the contents in my mug. Not answering her question.
I looked down at my scroll as I see the group of eight students interacting at one of the ruins. They all had rough edges but smooth them out and they could be the generation that sparks a turning of an age. All who come after them can only get stronger and if that happens then this cycle can finally end.
Silver An Hour Ago
Seriously?! Like for real?! Did my Headmaster really just launched all his freshman into a forest and basically say "Find this thing and come back alive good luck." I like all my other soon to be classmates were hurled in the air by the obvious launchpads we had to stand on. I watched around me as some were freaking out as they were free falling and while others like that lion Faunus boy were prepared or in his case jumped into the situation.
I still my thoughts and grab focus on the current situation. I was no falling no longer gaining altitude. "Ok landing strategy come on Silver gotta have a landing strategy!" I pull out the compact piece of metal that extends at a click of a button. I forms into a thick spear with a large bladed head, on the metal of the blade a black star was imprinted in it. I smiled and I really do have the best brothers ever.
I pick my spot and see my chance. With a lunge going towards the trees I bite down on my teeth and enter the sea of trees. Branches and leaf hit my face and block my view but I know where I will end up. After a silent count of ten I swing my spear left and it gets caught on a tree body. It slides in and holding the pole with both hands I crave my way in a spiral going down the tree till I hit the floor. "Phew safe and sound I give that a 8/10 landing strategy now where am I?" I look around and see the view of trees in every direction.
I listen for a moment and take in the scenery. There's nothing like this in Atlas all snow and more snow but here it was for lack of a better word beautiful. The critters roamed by and I head multiple different insects around me. I pulled out my Scroll and began taking pictures. "I can't wait to show everyone back home how different Vale is compared to Atlas." After a few more pictures and some selfies I put it away and remember what I was here to do. I have to head northeast and from the direction of the sun and where I am facing…. "Northeast must be this way."
I make my way through the woods. This place is huge and not that complex but I have no idea what to even be looking for. The Headmaster said ruins and find these relics. Would be a whole lot easier if ruins weren't so darn vague. Plus relics? What would the relics even look like. What if I find the wrong thing and don't pass the initiation? I stop and calm my thoughts of doubt. No point of focusing on something I have no control over. I just have to adapt and keep moving forward.
I hold Pearly Star in my hand and press my thumb on its body in the middle. A light scans my thumb and the spear shifts and compacts into a sniper rifle. It was a beauty. My brothers truly made me a great weapon and I didn't give them enough credit for it. Of course I was not going to tell them that in their faces but I'll get a crazy high Grimm kill count to showboat to them.
I look through the scope and check out what I got on my hands. "6-24x50-mm scope? Nice probably Steele's idea he was always the more personal one." After I say that I notice a few buttons on the scope and start messing around with them. I press one and the scope changes. "Wait no way no freaking way." I press it again and it changes once more. "A multi changing scope zoom?! Oh Grey taking Steele's personal touches and putting in the "Why not have this too." mentality."
I press the other button and the lens change green. I press it again it goes blue then dark. I see light blobs moving in the distance a few looking like animals nearby while others look like…. "Thermo scope too nice. Huh uh oh that doesn't look good." I see a figure shaped like a person walking but is surrounded by large figures that look like Beowulves. I put my gun on my back and make a dash for where the person is. He is surrounded with no way of knowing it.
I jump over tree roots and through bushes blocking my path. I focus my legs and jump into the trees jumping from branch to branch. I soon make my way to where I saw the person and the sight before me I was about to witness was unbelievable.
The person was in no danger whatsoever. He was walking calmly with no worry in the world. The Beowulves I can see nearby about to pounce on him but before I can warn him he grabs the scabbard on his waist and points it at the hidden Grimm. He fires a dust round at one of them behind the bushes blowing its head clean off.
"If you're going to ambush someone you should be more quiet about it." He taunted. His voice held no sign of fear. It didn't even sound cocky he just said it as blandly as one can speak. His dark eyes scanning around as the Grimm left their hiding places to surround him. I pull out Pearly Star and take aim. "Hey watch out!" Firing three shots all into three of the Grimm heads sending them into the void. He looked up at me and our eyes meet. The gaze from his eyes sent chills down my spine as if they held no emotion in them at all.
He pulled his sword out his scabbard slightly and faster than I can see cuts of the arms of one of the Grimm closest to him and kicks it away. He moves deeper into the Grimm pack as they try and claw at him. He nimbly dodges all their attacks while attacking from impossible angles. I fire at the ones he didn't see coming providing him cover fire while he focused on the ones he can see.
After a few minutes whatever remained was either dead or ran off. He sheathed his blade as I jumped down out the tree. "Well that was something huh?" He looked at me and I get a better look at him. His face was hard to read no signs of exhaustion or wear he wasn't even breathing hard after all the fighting he just did. His black vest hoodie had blue markings on them and his grey jeans had holes in them that appeared to be from long use and not style. He stared at me as if studying my every move and then he finally spoke. "You have a good eye. Your technique is refined with your sniping." Besides how he speaks he was complimenting me. "Well thanks I guess. I'm Silver FairNeil nice to meet you." "But there are other areas you can improve on I'm sure. We can deal with that while we are here...partner." He turns away and starts walking. "I'm Laurentum Gray come on we have a mission to complete." I knock my head and look at him. "Laurentum Gray? Where did I hear that name before? Other areas? Hey what do you mean by…. wait up jerk!"
We make our way through the woods. I keep trying to make conversation with him but he keeps to himself and never answer. There are a few times we ran across wild packs of Grimm but he had us hide and let them pass. "No need to pick a fight when we don't need to get in one." He would say and I have to say I was impressed. He was calm, collected, and patient like he was extremely patient. He wouldn't take a risk I can tell unless he had to. As we continued in the forest we heard gunfire in the distance. I look at him but he remains focused on moving ahead. "We're not going to check that out? Someone might need help" He turns but his face remains the same. "That isn't part of the mission. We find the ruins, get the relic and get back to the top of the cliff. Helping others isn't a part of that." I scowl at him. "But helping others is in the description of the job we all signed up for. I for one will help all who needs help." I run off in the direction of the gunfire not checking if Laurentum is following me. After what he said I couldn't care less about him at the moment.
I come out the bushes and see Coco firing at two packs of wild Grimm Bourbatusks. Her bullets hitting off their armored hides and her partner slashing them keeping them at bay with his blades on his gauntlets. Her weapon was something to behold. A golden mini-gun probably had a large clip and had a RPM of 600. I wiped the drool off my mouth and went to help the fashionista.
Once I'm by her side she turns to me and smile. "Oh hi Silver nice of you to drop baby." I smile back and fire my rifle at the pack keeping them away the earth dust rounds knocking them away. "Heard a party over here so I joined in on the fun. Who's the guy?" The man suplex a Bourbatusk on the ground and crash his fist into another one sending it into another group. "Oh him that's Fox my partner great guy but he's just quiet not much of a talker." He looks back and gives a thumbs up as he continues fighting. I laugh a bit seems he got a sense of humor. We continue fighting the Grimm but clearly we couldn't break past their defenses with Fox alone as Coco and I are ranged attackers. "Damn this is getting us nowhere."
A loud screech pierces the air and everyone stops moving stunned by the noise. The Bourbatusks also stop and all look up in the air as two Nevermores fly high in the air moving irregular. "What's wrong with those Grimm?" Coco says and as soon as she says that one of the two makes a nosedive down towards us. "Uh I think we need to move. LIKE NOW!" Coco's minigun turn into a handbag and Fox runs to the two of us and grabs us by our waists and pulls us all away as the Grimm impacts on the earth behind us.
As the smoke settles we all pick ourselves up. "Well that was something. What the hell is wrong with that Nevermore?" I look at the back of the Nevermore and see something moving. We hear someone coughing. As the smoke clears I see the form of my partner Laurentum appearing. "Laurentum?! What are you doing?" He looks at me but something is different about him. His dark eyes are gone and replaced with white eyes. But also those eyes now I see emotion in them. A childlike gleam like when I see Amey or Diana as they make their robots. "Oh hey Silv I guess you can say I had a change of heart you know we are Huntsmen in training so we gotta act like it. Head first into danger help others and the good fight." His face had a bright smile that shined so bright that we had to cover our eyes. Coco had to pull out her shades it was so bright. "Well this is surprising Laurentum coming in on the back of a Nevermore and causing it to crash into the Grimm packs." Laurentum smiled flirty at her. "Well I'm just full of surprises you can find out later if you want." She grins back at him thinking about the offer.
"Ok Wait a minute here!" I walk up to him as he jumps off the back of the unconscious Grimm. I look him in his eyes and focus my Aura. He looks at me showing no sign of fear just amusement. I look deep into him. The windows of his soul. Dad says our eyes are special and a secret we held to ourselves for generations. We can see into a person soul with our eyes. We can see their emotions and intentions he says. No one can hide their true nature from us. I can only use it when I focus deeply but Dad and the twins can use it as if they're breathing. They say it takes training to use it like they do.
Looking into Laurentum eyes right now I don't see what I saw before. Before was a void, a dark pit filled with screams and pained howls. Such dark emotions he gave off. In these eyes I see pain as well but a different pain. As if he is shielding something but also I see his childlike nature how he wants to do whatever he likes. Deeper I can see...he's protecting something. Something he holds dear more dear than himself.
I come out of it and look at him. He stares at me and moves his hand to move a piece of my hair out of my eyes. I feel my face get hot and pout at the thoughts creeping into my head. What I do know is that… "You're not Laurentum are you?" His face changes immediately as if I was an hated enemy. The dark features come out but he hide it quickly again and whispers into my ear. "You have some good eyes there Silver. Let's keep it to ourselves for now." He turns to Coco and Fox. "Hello the name is Loki not Laurentum right now. I'm the more interesting personality of his." Coco tilts her head and Fox puts his fist on his chin. "So you're a dual personality?" Coco turns to Fox surprised by him speaking openly. Loki nods and pounds his fist into his hand. "Right on the nose Fox I'm the cooler Laurentum but I like Loki better." Coco clearly not understanding just throws her hands in the air. "I think I get it but whatever can we go now we still have one Nevermore flying above us. We're sitting targets standing here." I look up and the Nevermore is still circling us high above. "I wasn't expecting there to be two Nevermore's in that nest but things happen unfortunately." I look at Loki still thinking about what he said. If he really was another personality of Laurentum his aura would be the same but his soul is completely different from what I felt from Laurentum. What is he?
Behind us we see the downed Nevermore begins to move slightly. We all backup and ready our weapons. We should've known it wasn't dead since it never disappeared once it landed. "I think we can take it." Coco says as she readies her mini-gun Loki whistling seeing it. "I do like woman with a large gun but how about we make a hasty retreat?" I look up and see the other one begins to make its way down to us. "Loki's right let get out of this tight space into a more open field." He smiles at me and grabs Coco picking her up while her weapon was still in gun form. "I'll take Coco Fox grab Silver." He jumps away in a hurry with her in his arms. Fox jumps to me and I allow him to pick me up as the Nevermore stands up and screeches in rage clearly not happy to be a Loki taxi.
Loki and Fox running while carrying Coco and I. The ride was uncomfortable but seeing how the two Nevermore's were shooting their feathers at us I was not complaining. "I think I see a opening coming ahead." Coco shouts. I can see something opening up just ahead of us. "Almost there guys." But before we can get to the finish line. A stray feather hits the next branch ahead of us causing Loki to lose his footing and fall with Coco in his arms. "Oh shit!" They tumble down and unfortunately Fox was also going for that branch so we fall with them.
We come crashing out into the clearing out the bushes. I hit something hard that rattles my brain. I shake it off seeing the thing I hit was a tall boy in green armor and robes. I look over and see Loki and the girl he was with on the Bullhead arguing. When he sees me he comes over to check on me. "You ok Silver?" I rub my head. "Yea just it the biggest guy here." After apologies are said. The girl River asks what that noise was and the two Nevermores come out not far behind us flying overhead.
Loki looks at everyone and smiles. "I thought it was a good idea in my defense…" "RUNNN!" I shout as they fire more feathers at us. Fox runs to the ruins and grabs what seemed to be a chess piece and helps up Coco. The eight of us make a break for the clearing dodging the feathers from the beasts. Loki turns looking up and face brightens. "I'll draw one away you guys take out the other one."
"What that's a dumb idea not to mention stupid you might die fighting that thing alone I'm coming with you." River screams at him. Topaz slightly ahead slows down to join the conversation. "If my partner goes I go with her." Loki sighs and looks at me. "You already know what I'm going to say." He rolls his eyes and look at the other four. "Ok lets split up one will follow us while the other will follow the rest. Coco! Light it up!" He yells. She smiles and stops in her heels and press a button on the side that causes them to collapse and turn into combat boots. "Ohhhh so cool." Looking at her shoes I definitely need a pair of those.
Coco lets loose a barrage of bullets at one of the beasts causing it to turn its red eyes at her. The Faunus rabbit grabs her by the arm. "That's our que to go Coco." They make a run for it as Fox and the large boy covers their retreat. Loki turns to me pointing at the other one following its friend. "Silver I need it's attention on us." I nod and pull out my sniper. Taking aim at the face of the Grimm. "Say ahhhhh." The shot rings loud as the casing flies out the side of the chamber and I fire another shot in succession. The shots it the same spot staggering the Nevermore. It's eyes glow brighter as it turns its gaze to me. "Uhhh it doesn't look too happy about that." River's partner Topaz was his name moves in front of me. "I'll keep it's attention you guys shoot it from a distance." Loki walked next to him smiling his eye gleaming as he was plotting something. "Nah can't let you go alone. The four of you are going to have to work together." I turn to him. "You?"
He looks at us and shrugs his shoulders. "I had my fun gonna let Laurentum do what he wants now." I wonder what it's like to be normal but what I saw proves that Dad has no idea what our eyes can truly do in certain situations. In my eyes Loki's soul disappears into the body as Laurentum's soul returns his eyes regaining its dark color and face loses all expression it had a moment ago. River checks her magazine clip and reloads. "Laurentum you ready for this?" He turns to the Grimm and holds his blade by his handle. "Topaz follow my lead, Silver and River cover us and try to shoot at its wings we need it on the ground if we want a chance to finish it off." Without us answering as if he expected us to just follow orders he rushes off. Topaz pounds his fists together. "Alright time to break a few eggs!" He turns completely into metal and jumps into the air firing dust rounds from his gauntlets getting its attention.
I aim my rifle and prepare to fire. "Well let's see how this plays out…"
Laurentum
Loki put me in a real unneeded situation.
The last thing I remember was Silver and I having a disagreement of heading towards gunfire we heard in the forest. It wasn't a part of the assignment we were assigned but she gave me a childish outlook on life on how we need to help everyone we can. That might be the mindset of a Huntsman but I'm not here to be an Huntsman. Further training and Ozpin's connections to further my own goals. Those reasons alone are why I'm even here.
After she ran off in the direction of the gunfire I was walking in the other direction leaving her to her choice but Loki took control. I felt him drag me from the forefront of my mind and drown me in my own thoughts and drove me into the depths of subconscious. It was dark, deep and felt like I couldn't breathe or see. After I swam my way halfway out of a sea of thoughts Loki pulled me out and put me back in control only to see a Nevermore in the air, River and Silver behind me aiming down and River's partner Topaz next to me. Clearly a fight was the only thing left to do get us out of this predicament.
I loaded End with fire dust rounds and fired it at the Grimm. The flames detonating and setting the birds feathers on fire. It wailed in pain when Topaz fired wind dust rounds in combination to spread the flames across its body.
With the flames burning the Grimm goes into a nosedive to the ground at the two of us. I form an ice layer across my body and Topaz turns full metal. The Grimm knocks into us the heat and brute force knocks us back but we remain standing. It stands up the drop putting out the flames. Rounds find their target as River and Silver covers us as we make our approach.
"Topaz go for the body and keep it off balance. River aim for its wings don't let it take off again." Topaz gave me a nod and a smile as he cocked his fist back. "Lion's Path: First Form Lion Roar!" His gauntlet glows red and once he swings a blast of fire dust shaped as a lion's head comes out and bursts on the chest of the Grimm knocking it back. River unloads her clip tearing holes into its wings not enough to stop it from flying but enough to not allow it to get the chance to take off right away.
With the situation prepared accordingly I step up and dash at it. I jump onto the face mask of the Grimm stabbing Hope into its forehead cracking it. "Silver hit here!" I pull out my sword pointing at the stab hole and it begins flailing about in pain I feel my muscles tearing from the force as I hold on with an iron grip but ignore it as I see Silver holding her weapon taking aim.
I hear her breathing from here with my heightened senses. It was slow and focused I thought I heard her mumbling something but was too occupied with more important matters. The shot cracks loudly in the air as it rings towards the crack hitting its mark. The mask cracks and large pieces fall off staggering the beast. I stab Hope into its back and grab the hilt with both hands. I feel my body shiver as the chill of my semblance runs through me and into my sword. The back of the Nevermore slowly begins getting stiff and ice case over its back and sides.
"TOPAZ! RIVER!" I scream putting them both off with my loud voice but I needed them to act now and not a second later. River puts on a bandanna over her hair and groans. "Ok ok already been so quiet now you want to be loud geez." She aims Love's Misery and the barrel expands and widens. Her clothes and eyes glow a dim red as energy builds up in the barrel tip. Topaz backs up putting his hands together his aura becoming visible around him. "Dragon's Path: Final Form Topaz Edition…" His aura bright like a fire, tame as the ocean, erratic and jumbled as thunder and still as the earth beneath our feet it was a interesting sight to see. His semblance turning his arms into metal as he prepares to unleash his strike.
His aura becomes erratic and jumbled as it streaks off his body as I feel the hair on my body stand on end telling me to get out the way and I do just that. I hit the ground and burst into a dead run going past Topaz. "...Thunder of Dragons!" He roars as I run past him. His arms thrusting forward as he fires four dust rounds of different elements pouring his aura into them and they take the form of four different color dragons flying and breaking the frozen wings of the Nevermore and further destroying its mask.
I run past River then she fires. "Charged Assault!" Red lighting sparking off her body as its focused on the end of her barrel. A red energy beam fires and pierces the body of the beast leaving a sizable hole in it as it looks down then back up and falls as it dissipates into nothingness.
Topaz lets out a roar of excitement, River stumbles down exhausted and Silver is awestruck by what she just witnessed. My guesses were correct about all of them.
Silver is an skilled sniper in a class of her own. She lack plenty of experience but she follows orders rather well so that's something I can work well with.
River is a skilled marksman as will. Her semblance was unexpected but paid out in the end. What I can assume is her semblance after seeing it first hand reminds me of someone. I recall the other student my master took in filled with rage and hate. Even their semblance looked that same but hers is generated from her unlike his through his sword. I'm sure her blade work is quite good as well.
Topaz is the most mysterious of all. A expert hand to hand fighter if not master in his own right. His techniques are similar to what I was taught using aura and dust to create unique moves come to life. Master could do something similar but not on Topaz level. Nevertheless we survived and with that can finish this test Ozpin setup for us.
"No time for slacking around you three we got to finish the test." Silver snaps out of her awe and looks at me. "What about Coco and the others don't they need our help?" I look up and point as the three of them turn around.
Fox and Yatsuhashi are on the back of the Nevermore as it flies around bullets from the ground barraging into its hide and dust projectiles exploding around it. When it's brought down a large explosion happens shortly after and a loud screech is heard all throughout the forest. "I GOT A STAIN ON MY OUTFIT DAMMIT THIS WILL TAKE HOURS TO CLEAN OUT!"
I look at her and start walking to the cliff. "I think they got it covered all on their own." Topaz holding his arms clearly sore walks behind me and wraps an arm on my shoulder. "Nice shot calling there Laurentum definitely better than my "Shoot it a bunch" plan I had in my head." Smiling with a childlike grin as we walk to River who was still on the ground breathing heavily. "You ok Riv?"
"Yea Topaz just using my Semblance takes a lot out of me. Mainly when I need to use large attacks like that." Without her permission I pick her up in my arms cradling her. A red hue beams across her face as she tries to hit me missing at I move my head out of the way. "Well a ladies man too? Are you Loki right now or Laurentum?" I look back at Topaz seeing my face gave him the answer he needed. "Her recovery can happen when we are done. Until then I'll carry her back to the cliffs. No more time to waste you two let's move!" I breakout running leaving them to catch up. I take a look back to see that Topaz had a grin on his face when Silver walked up and said something to him and moments later she's on his back riding piggyback a smile on her face as we make our way back to the cliffs to finish the mission.
Two Hours Later.
We are all back in the auditorium as Ozpin forms another team as our group was next up after this one. "Coco Adel, Fox Alistair, Velvet Scarlatina and Yatsuhashi Daichi; You three collected the black queen pieces you will now be known as Team CFVY led by Coco Adel."
A loud applause rings through the auditorium as Coco is hugged by Velvet and pat on the back by Yatsuhashi.
As they step off we walk toward the Headmaster. He looks at the four of us and smiles as his gaze pass onto all four of us. "Laurentum Gray, Silver FairNeil, Topaz Hu Buster and River Tartarus you collected the white rook pieces you will now be known as Team LSTR led by Laurentum Gray.
Even more applause is heard probably people who knew of me was excited for me. I simply nodded as Topaz punches my arm. "Alright with you leading us and the four of us together we'll be unstoppable!" His grin growing as he continues to speak. I move out his grasp and stare at Ozpin. He seemed to read my eyes and leans in to my ear. "I haven't forgotten our agreement. My resources are at your disposal to find the person you're looking for."
After pulling away the four of us walk off stage as Ozpin smiles and talks to himself with my hearing I can hear what he said. "This will be a interesting year."
