Chapter 5
Well-deserved sleep
I own nothing but my OC
What's good everyone, Lazerhat9001 here to give you a few notes. First at the request of many I have properly spaced out my chapter so it isn't to bulky and in time ill edit my other chapters to fix that as well. Also I seem to have miss lead I few of you with the atmosphere of the story so far, I do plan for the story to be much darker Drake is from Bloodborne after all, I just don't want to rush it but don't worry soon dark stuff will be introduced to this story. I cant think of anything else to put up here so ill shut up and let you guys enjoy the new chapter.
After several minutes of wandering around Beacon my nose caught the smell of food, running I eventually ran into the cafeteria and my eyes meet one of the most beautiful things I ever saw.
Food, food and more food, there's fruit, bread, meat everything a man could want and more. Not giving a damn about the odd stares I was receiving from my fellow students I got into line grabbed a tray and waited in line. After getting a strange look from the lunch lady I ordered all the food I could until my tray was in danger of overflowing. "Now all that's left is to find a place to sit so I can eat my bounty." The masked Hunter thought to himself.
Looking around I noticed most of the tables were full except for a table where the four girls who brought me here were sitting. Alongside team RWBY were four other individuals; one was a rather scrawny blonde haired boy with blue eyes, a red haired girl with green eyes and a rather impressive figure, a rather annoyed looking male with black hair that seems to have a few strays of pink that match his eyes and to his left what I can only guess was the source of his irritation was a smiling ginger girl with green eyes who seem to be talking so fast I was surprised she hadn't bit her tongue off.
Normally I would avoid people who held my by a blades end when we first meet and their friends, but considering Ozpin did say I would be working with first-year teams and Ruby who appeared to be the youngest person at Beacon, was leading a team it only stands to reason that team must be a first-year team. Carefully balancing my tray with one hand and using my cane to help keep balance I walked over to the table of eight.
Seeing me before the others noticed the ginger girl said, "Look a masked super hero!" Loudly proclaimed the ginger girl. Naturally this attracted the others and they all turned to face me. The scrawny blonde had a look of fear on his face probably finding a masked man with a sword as a cane and a giant blade on his back a little intimidating, the red haired girl had a look on intrigue on her face, the boy the ginger haired girl was talking to gives me a calculative look similar to Blake's. Ruby and Weiss eyes widen in shock both of them most likely thought they would never see me again, Yang gives me a mischievous smile like she found one of her favorite toys and of course Blake the master of calculative looks gives me one no doubt trying to piece together why I'm even here.
Sitting down right next to Blake, I addressee them saying "I'm sure you have questions for me, but first I have an urgent matter to attend to." I then pulled down my mask and not giving a damn about dignity, I proceeded to scarf down my food. Using my hands instead of utensils I grabbed as much food as I could and shoved it into my mouth chewing rapidly and swallowing as quickly as I could so I could eat more. Though she's sitting close to me the ginger haired girl sounds very far away as she says "See Ren I'm not the only one who eats like that." Ignoring her I continued eating till what seem like far too soon for my likening I finished my meal. "Ahhhh" I sighed in satisfaction at my first good meal in what felt like days.
"That was disgusting" said the white haired ban of my ears, though I had to agree with her. Looking at my-self my attire is covered in grease, ketchup, crumbs and pieces of meat, and my face feels like someone smashed my face on a buffet table and dragged me across all the meals, I feel smashed up food all across my cheeks and lips and touching my head I pull eat whatever is in my hair and pull out a fish scale, "Did I accidentally eat a whole fish" the food covered Hunter thought to himself. Deciding I'll just take a shower later I ignore the scraps all over me and bring my focus back on to the others.
Probably gathering all his courage to do so the scrawny blonde says to me, "Your names Drake right?" I give the blonde a death stare that causes him to shrink down into his chair, "How the hell do you know that?" I say menacingly to the blonde. Coming to his defense the red haired girl says, "Ruby already told us how they found you in the forest." The red haired girl clarified for me. "Yeah when she told us how cool you look I told the others you were a superhero coming to save Vale." Said the ginger hair girl. "Nora please calm down we should at least tell him our names before you pester him." Says the black and pink haired male.
Not dropping his look of suspicion he extends his right hand and says "Hello I'm Lie Ren, but please call me Ren." After hesitating slightly I shake Ren's hand. Breaking are hand shake and forcibly grabbing my right hand so she could shake it as well the ginger hared girl says with a smile "And I'm his best friend ever Nora." I cradle my throbbing hand after she releases it. "DAMN IT THAT HURTS." The food covered Hunter screams in his head. Looking at Nora who still smiling oblivious to my pain I notice something about her. Her eyes are like vortexes of chaotic energy, it makes me wonder if Nora is a crazed murderer that kills with a smile, a hyper active monster that could level all of Beacon if she wanted to or she eats way too much freakin sugar, probably all three. "I need to be careful of her" The food covered hunter thinks to himself.
Giving me a small smile the red haired girl says, "I'm Pyrra Nikos pleasure to meet you" The blonde stops cowering and says "And in Jaune Arc leader of team JNPR." At the last part he points to Pyrra, Nora and Ren. "He's the leader of those three, may the Gods have mercy on their poor souls." The food covered Hunter thinks to himself. Deciding it be rude of me not to properly introduce myself I say, "Though you already know my name allow me to properly introduce my-self, I am Drake Richard the newest students at Beacon." "WHAT." Shouts team RWBY at my announcement. "How in the world did you get accepted into Beacon!" Shouts the white haired ban of my ears. "It's quite simple headmaster Ozpin said my skills I displayed in the forest impressed him enough to offer me an invitation and I took it." The food covered Hunter said nonchalantly. "What? That's insane what is Ozpin thinking" says the white haired ban of my ears.
In all honesty I thought the same thing, Ozpins no fool you can tell that bye just looking him in the eyes, but he still took me in without much questioning and with a very pathetic excess to let me into Beacon, "I'll worry about that latter there's not really much I can do right now." The food covered Hunter thinks to himself. "Wait if you're a student at Beacon now what team are you going to be on?" asks a worried Ruby. "The headmaster said I'll be working as a solo unit until it's time for a mission in which case I'll be partnered up with a first-year team." Says the food covered Hunter. "Awesome we get to be paired up with a badass on missions." Excitingly proclaims Yang. "And I get to become the sidekick of a superhero. Oh ill need a name for my secret identity like the Pink Berserker or the Pancake Queen." Excitedly says Nora, at Nora's words Ren places his face into his hands and sigh.
Giggling a little at Nora's antics I glance at Blake who even after that display is still stoned face as ever glaring at me. I turn to her and say "Is there something you like to say to me Blake?' I ask the black themed girl. Not giving up her glare she says "It very suspicious how we found you and the fact your attending Beacon now can you really blame me for being suspicious?" ask the black themed girl. In all honesty no if I meet someone in Yharnam fully armed and wandering around a dangerous area I would assume they were either hostile Hunters or a Beast in disguise, I would them procced to cut them into pieces with my blades.
"I understand Blake in time I hope I can be worthy of your trust, until then let's try to get along." I ask Blake extending my right hand, she accepts my hand and shacks it saying "Alright, hopefully I day comes when I can trust you to." I smile inside my mask, while I haven't built a positive relation with Blake I at least got of hostile terms with her. But now was the hard part trying to establish some kind of agreement with Weiss. "Weiss" I say before Weiss raises her hand asking for silence. "I don't want to hear it, I'll decide if your trusty worthy on my own time and on my own terms so don't try to act all buddy-buddy with me Mr." Proclaims the white haired ban of my ears. "Well shit." Accidently says the food covered Hunter. Everyone laughed at this except Weiss who looked offended by my cursing. I face palm as a felt my cheeks turn red, "Why am I an idiot?" The food covered Hunter asks himself.
After the laughter died down Nora insisted on telling me her dream where she and Ren walked into the Emerald Forest where she defeated dozens of Ursas whatever those are and how she and Ren skinned them and made a fortune off their pelts, or that would be what she would have told me if Ren didn't keep correcting her and told me how the dream actually went. "Is Ren messing with Nora or has Nora told Ren this dream so many times that he's remembered it in so much detail that he can correct Nora?" The food covered Hunter thought to himself.
Glancing around the room I noticed a clock on the wall that read five' o'clock. "Has time really been moving that fast?" The food covered Hunter thought to himself. "It's been fun guys but I need to get back to my room and clean up." The Food covered Hunter announces to the group. "Your right we should probably get back to our room to guys." Ruby says to her fellow teammates. "Same for use." Says the scrawny leader of JNPR. With that we all proceeded to get up and return to our respective dorms. But as I was walking towards the exit something in the back of my eye caught my attention.
I freeze in my tracks, my eyes widen as I saw a girl with long brown hair, brown eyes and two giant rabbit ears sticking out of her head sitting at a table with three others. My mind fried a little as I processed what I was seeing. "It can't be, a victim of the Scourge Of The Beast here at Beacon, no it has to be something different everyone here is training to become a Hunter they would notice such an obvious symptom and kill her on site if she was truly infected, but then what the hell is she? An experiment or perhaps some kind of transformation brought on by a Rune." The food covered Hunter tried to figure out.
"Oh has Velvet caught your eye." Said the blonde of team RWBY, "What, what are you talking about?" asked the confused Hunter. "Oh don't play innocent with me you've been staring at Velvet for a good minute, have a thing for Faunuses?" Says Yang in a teasing tone. "Have I really been staring that long and what the hell is a Faunus, is that what that Velvet girl is?" Thought the food covered Hunter, "I knew you were leering at women when you first got here you pervert." Said the white haired ban of my ears accusingly. Recovering quickly from Yang's teasing and Weise's accusation I attempt to defend myself, "No it's nothing like that I've just never seen a Faunus before." The food covered Hunter replies. It was the truth during the Hunt I had encountered people who had began to sprout fangs, claws and even sprouted feral looking black or red fur, but I've never encountered a human that has animal ears sprouting out of there head.
"You've never seen a Faunus while you lived in Sanguinem?" Questioned Blake, "Don't forget Sanguinem is fairly small and not many people travel there not really much to do either, plus I only moved away two months ago after I turned eighteen and began my training." Said the food covered Hunter,
"What, you mean to tell your master Gehrman or whatever his name is trained you for only two months then said train how ever you want, and then you stupidly decided to train in the Emerald Forest? You may be the biggest dolt I've ever meet and I've meet Ruby." Said the white haired ban of my ears, "Hey." Protested Ruby, "It may seem absurd because in all honesty it is, but Gehrman was a very creative teacher I quickly learned under his unique tutelage and learned the skills necessary to become a strong Hunter." Replied the food covered Hunter, "What kind of unique tutelage could he possible put you under that you felt confident enough to become a Hunter after only two months of training?" asked the heiress, "Dyeing constantly to Beasts and other veil creatures until I developed the skills and strategies to beat them while he sustained my life by keeping me bound to the Hunter's Dream would be the honest answer and the quickest way for me to be declared insane so I'll just be a little cryptic." Thought the food covered Hunter, "Let's just say pain is the best teacher." Cryptically said the food covered Hunter.
"That is not an answer." Said the heiress, "Perhaps princess put now's not the time to be interrogating me, I reek of food, it's getting late and most importantly I'm anxious to get into my new bed." Replied the Food covered Hunter, "Hump, fine I suppose it is time to return to our dorms." Replied the heiress. "Glad we could agree on something, so could you four please lead the way?" Asked the food covered Hunter, "Why do you want use to lead the way back to your dorm?" Questioned the adorable crimson reaper, " If I remember correctly headmaster Ozpin and professor Glynda said my dorm was right down the hall of team RWBY aka you guys and team JNPR." Replied the food covered Hunter. "Oh that's so cool we can hang out whenever we what huh Drake?" Replied the blonde of team RWBY with a mischievous grin. "With a smile like that I can't help but be scared of that idea." Thought the food covered Hunter, "No problem Yang." Replied the food covered Hunter with a little sweat running down the back of his head.
After that team RWBY and their plus one proceeded to walk back into the dormitory and with a goodbye from every member of the all female team Drake unlocked his door and entered his dorm. "Now I can finally take a shower." Said the food covered Hunter with relish in his voice. Drake then proceed to unsheathe his great sword and prompted it against his desk along with his cane. Then reaching behind his back Drake unbuckled his utility belt that was hidden by his cape, the belt held all his Hunter's Tool and thanks to his cape everyone toke his belt as ordinary fashion rather than a storage device for all his most explosive weaponry, carefully Drake placed the belt on top of his desk.
Drake then proceed to strip of his hunting attire and his undergarments placing them messily on the floor and walked into the shower before a thought popped into his head, "Even if I get myself clean my attire is still covered in food, what do I do?" Thought the naked Hunter, being a rather sloppy male with no skill in cleaning at all Drake decided to take his attire wash it under the sink and scrub any food he saw and wrap it in towels to dry off. "With that done it's time for the main event." The naked Hunter said out loud to no one in particular.
Drake stepped into the shower and let the warm wash over him, it was a heavenly experience especially considering the closes thing Drake had to a shower while in Yharnam was being drowned in ice cold water, and bathing in the blood of his enemies, after what felt like a divine hour long shower Drake stepped out of the shower and preceded to dry himself with a towel. Though half way through drying himself a knock was heard from his door.
"Who the hell could that be?" Thought the soaking wet Hunter, wrapping the towel around his lower region Drake walked to and opened his door. "Hello Mr.- Glynda was cut off from her train of thought when she saw the half-naked body of her new student, Mr. Richard can you please put something on before you answer the door?" asked the red faced and infuriated witch. "I'm sorry professor Glynda put my only available attire is soaking wet right now." Replied the soaking wet Hunter. "Not anymore Mr. Richard here is several sets of Beacons uniform and a scroll with your class schedule on it" said the red-faced witch, with that using her powers of telekinesis lifted about six sets of Beacon uniforms into Drakes hands with a strange blue rectangular device on top of them.
"Great another strange device I have no knowledge about those are usually so helpful for me." Sarcastically thought the soaking wet Hunter with his mind thinking about the Tonsil Stone and the Eye of a Blood-Drunk Hunter. "Good night Mr. Richard and be warned if I ever catch you like that around me or any other students again you will be punished, do I make myself clear." Asked the red-faced witch with a tone so threating I begin wondering if she's a Beast in disguise wouldn't be the first time. With that Glynda closed the door leaving me alone with my new clothes and the strange device called a Scroll.
"It's, too late for me to be playing with strange new devices." Whined the soaking wet Hunter, finishing drying himself off Drake promptly placed his new clothing inside the closet not wanting to get is new clothes dirty, he maybe slob but he's not that bad and placing his new Scroll on top of his desk along with his utility belt. "Finally I can get a good night sleep." Replied the weary Hunter placing his towel on the floor Drake removed the covers and laid down on his new bed naked, "Today was insane even buy my standards, I got transported to a Beast infested forest, discovered by four heavily armed girls who then took me to there school that trains its students to be Hunters, was accepted into said school, ate my first decent meal in what felt like days, made the acquaintance of team RWBY and JNPR and nearly sent flying across the school grounds by one of my professors, yep defiantly insane I guess wanting a normal life was just too much for the hands of fate to give me." Thought the sleepy Hunter, Sighing Drake closed his eyes and went to a well-deserved sleep.
