Chapter 6

Bloody episode

Hello readers, I just want to say sorry for the wait being a high school student on the swim team sucks. But enough about that I just want to thank everyone who was posted reviews on my story and help me improve. Enough of my rambling go down end enjoy the new chapter.

Slowly opening his eyes, Drake was greeted with the rays of the sun and the sound of birds chirping. Pushing aside his covers Drake got out of his bed, "Ahhhhhh that was the greatest night sleep I've ever had." Said the half-awake Hunter.

Looking at his clock Drake read it was only seven o'clock. "Hopefully my classes don't start for a while I need to figure out how the hell this scroll thing works." Said the half-awake Hunter to no one in particular.

Grabbing the strange device Drake tapped it with his finger activating it, the transparent screen was now blue and several different colored squares filed it. "What in the gods name is this thing?" Asked the confused Hunter, it truly was a strange device to Drake, according to what Glynda said last night it would somehow tell Drake when and where is classes where.

"She should have just given me a regular schedule on paper not this thing." Said the confused Hunter. Deciding moaning and complaining would get him nowhere Drake decided to tap the purple covered square on the top left of the screen.

"GOOD MORNING VALE AND WELCOME TO DAWN DUST NEWS." Screamed a woman on the scrolls screen, Now Drake being the calm collected Hunter he is did the only thing natural in this situation.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Yelled the surprised Hunter as he threw the scroll against his door picked up his pistol from his desk and shot the scroll.

Recovering from his shock Drake slowly and carefully approached the destroyed scroll. "What was that? How was there a person trapped inside the scroll?" Asked the confused Hunter as he examines the destroyed scroll.

"Since I've woken up in the forest I keep encountering more and more strange things new Beasts, strange devices a Hunters school I've never hear about before if it wasn't for the fact not everything has tried to kill me since I got here I'd say this was a nightmare realm". Thought the confused Hunter,

"I need answers, but first I need to figure when are my classes." Said the confused Hunter. Picking up the destroyed scroll and throwing it in his closet Drake put on his uniform and his Old Hunters Cap and stepped out of his dorm in hopes of finding professor Glynda and finding a normal paper schedule of his classes.

Wandering around Drake noticed there were hardly any other students awake, "The rest are probably still in their beds sleeping." Thought the masked Hunter, Drake had always been an early riser his internal alarm clock was a bitch like that so Drake always went to bed early when he could so he wouldn't be miserable when he woke up next morning.

Wandering around desperately looking for professor Glynda, Drake's noise was meet with the familiar smell of Beacons cafeteria. "Eat first find Glynda latter." Thought the masked Hunter with his rumbling stomach encouraging this train of thought.

Once again Drake getting another strange look from the cafeteria lady filled his tray to the brink of overflowing with food and scouted a place to sit. Looking around Drake noticed the same bunny eared girl from yesterday sitting all alone eating some waffles.

"This is a good chance to figure out what the hell a Faunus is." Thought the masked Hunter, Making his way to her table he sat down across from her.

"Hello there I'm Drake Richard what's your name?" Politely asked the masked Hunter, "V-Velvet Scarlatina" Shyly said the bunny eared girl.

"If you don't mind me asking where is the rest of your team Velvet?" Questioned the masked Hunter, "I'm an early waker the rest of my team is still in bed, what about you where's your team?" Questioned the bunny eared girl.

"You're looking at Beacons one and only solo unit." Said the masked Hunter, "What? A solo unit, you mean you don't have a partner or a team?" Asked the bunny eared girl with a slight tone of worry. "Yes that's correct though headmaster Ozpin said that on missions I'll be paired up with first-year teams, are you a first-year student Velvet?" Questioned the masked Hunter,

Shaking her head the bunny eared girl said, "No I'm a second-year student sorry." Said the bunny eared girl, "Nothing to be sorry for Velvet, and if you don't mind?" Said the masked Hunter gesturing to his food. "No not at all I should probably start eating to before my waffles get could." Said the bunny eared girl,

Drake and Velvet sat their in peace for a few minutes peacefully eating their food or in Drake's case inhaling his mountain of food, little did Velvet know every now and then Drake would take slight glances at her.

"She doesn't appear to be hostile, no signs of abnormal features not counting the ears, she eats ordinary food instead of blood and flesh and is quite nice. "She's defiantly not infected but I still need to figure out what exactly a Faunus is before I can determine she's not a threat." Thought the masked Hunter.

Finishing his meal and wiping away any crumbs with his sleeves Drake puts back on his mask and asked, "Velvet is it okay if I ask you a personal question?" Asked the masked Hunter, "Sure no problem Drake." Said Velvet with a small smile,

"You see before I moved to Beacon I lived in a small village that doesn't really get many visitors so I've never meet any Faunus before, so what I'm asking is there any important difference between Faunus and humans?" Asked the masked Hunter, Velvets face turned into an uncomfortable expression, quickly realizing his mistake Drake attempted to apologize. "I'm so sorry Velvet I didn't mean to be offensive, just forget I asked." Said the apologetic Hunter,

"No that's not it it's just that I was thinking what others would say to that question." Said the bunny eared Hunter, "What do you mean what others would say to that questioned?" Asked the confused Hunter, "Most people would say Faunus are just freaks or monsters that look human or were not people just animals that can talk." Said the bunny eared girl with a sad expression.

"Makes since if it wasn't for the situation I saw you in I would have assumed you were infected and killed you, it's just human nature to be afraid of and hate what you don't understand." Thought the masked Hunter, "Velvet I'm not interested what others would say to my question I'm interested in what you say." Explained the masked Hunter,

Velvet regained her smile and said "Faunus and humans are almost entirely the same we just have animal ears, eyes and in rare cases tails, but besides that were essentially the same." Said the bunny eared girl,

"That makes since so far she hasn't made even the slight thing to make me question she wasn't normal, hell if it wasn't for the ears I say she was a regular human." Thought the masked Hunter,

glancing at the clock Drake saw it was eight o'clock, "Thanks for clearing that up for me Velvet and if you don't mind can I ask you if you know were professor Glynda is I need a new schedule of my classes." Asked the masked Hunter,

"A new schedule what happened to your old one?" Questioned the bunny eared girl, "That's a story for another time, so do you know?" The masked Hunter asked once again,

"Sorry Drake I don't most of the time you see her with headmaster Ozpin, but you can go to professor Port for one just go into the main building and go to class room nine." Said the bunny eared girl, "Go to the main building class room nine and talk to professor Port go it, thanks Velvet and goodbye." At that the masked Hunter got out of his chair and began making way towards professor Port leaving behind his new acquaintance.

After getting lost in the main building and asking for directions Drake made his way to classroom nine. Opening the door Drake saw the classroom was a lecture hall with a big black board in the front and on the board are several pictures of Beasts some of which Drake killed when he was in the forest, and standing right in front of the board was a rather intriguing looking fellow.

The man was most likely middle aged wearing a burgundy suit with gold piping and buttons similar to the Beacon uniform, black pants and cavalry boots, but what made the mans appearance so unique was his facial hair the man had a giant grey haired mustache that was groomed to resemble a giant upside down V, along with curly eyebrows, hair combed down so the sides of his head had spikes and eyes so squinted Drake couldn't figure out if he was awake or not.

"Emm hello sir are you professor Port." Asked the masked Hunter approaching the burly man. Turning around the burly man said, " Why yes I am young man and you must be Mr. Richard are newest student, and if your wondering how I know that headmaster Ozpin told us yesterday about your enrollment here." Said the burly man,

"Well that answers that it's good to meet you sir." Said the masked Hunter extending his right hand for the burly man to shake, "Like wise Mr. Richard, but if you don't mind me asking why are you here it's only eight fifteen classes don't start till nine." Said the burly man,

" About that sir I accidentally broke my scroll and therefore lost my class schedule I was hoping you could give me a paper copy." Said the masked Hunter, "Young man you haven't been here for twenty four hours and you've already broken school equipment the head master will here about this, but regarding your request for a schedule that's easy enough just take a seat and I'll return momentarily with your schedule." Said the burly man, Drake complied and sat in a front row seat as professor Port left the room,

"Good job Drake first day and your already messing up, at least whatever punishment I receive can't be that bad right?" Thought the masked Hunter,

after a few minutes professor Port returned holding a piece of paper in his hands. "Well Mr. Richard I have your schedule and as luck would have it your first class of the day is mine." Said the burly man, "That is convenient sir do you just want me to wait here for class to start?" Questioned the masked Hunter,

"I appreciate your enthusiasm to attend my class, but you see Mr. Richard you're a few weeks behind the other first-year students I want to test your skills by having you fight a Grim in my presence so I can evaluate your skills, so please go back to your dorm and put on your attire for battle and your choice of weapon so we can save time." Said the burly man, "Yes sir I understand goodbye I'll see you in thirty minutes." Said the masked Hunter.

With that Drake waved goodbye to professor port and exited the classroom, but upon doing that he realized something both times Drake went to his dorm he had either Glynda or team RWBY to guide him. "Damn it I really need to learn the layout of this place." Said the masked Hunter in an annoyed tone.

With that being said Drake was lost yet again for another fifteen minutes after that he finally found his dorm and changed into his hunting attire grabbed his Threaded Cane and Hunters Pistol rushed back the way he came from in a desperate attempt to make it to class on time.

Reaching the familiar door of classroom nine Drake looked at a nearby clock and saw it was eight fifty-five. "Phew made it on time." Said the relieved Hunter, opening the door Drake saw professor Port looming over a cage, at the sound of the door opening the professor turned around and saw Drake.

"Ah Mr. Richard I see your ready, please take a seat class will begin in just a few minutes and after introducing you to the rest of the students you'll begin your match with the Grim in this cage. As if it new the professor was talking about it the Beast in the cage began thrashing and squealing in its cage.

"That squealing it sounds just like… no it can't be that monster, I tore it apart with my bare hands." Thought the masked Hunter with a small trickle of sweat running down his forehead. "Don't worry Mr. Richard I'm sure you are more than capable of defeating this Grim." Said the burly man, "Y-yeah thank you for the encouragement sir." Said the masked Hunter,

after that Drake and professor Port waited a few minutes until class finally began and the students started to pour into the classroom, a few students toke glances at Drake in confusion or out of curiosity, not that Drake mind he did seem out of place with his hunting attire and mask on.

As the late bell was about to ring four familiar Huntresses rushed through the door. Regaining her breathe the leader of the four quickly noticed Drake.

"Drake you're in this class to?" Said the silver eyed reaper, "Hello Ruby, Yang, Blake, Weiss good morning." Said the masked Hunter, "Team RWBY Mr. Richard please be quite and sit down class has begun." Said the burly man, "Yes sir." Said the silver-eyed reaper as she and her teammates went to their respected seats.

After team RWBY sat down professor Port stood in front of the class, "Good morning students, as you may have noticed when you came into class today we have a new student joining us please come up and introduce yourself Mr. Richard." Said the burly man,

complying Drake got up from his seat and went to the front of the classroom and gave his new classmates a Hunters Salutation, "Hello I am Drake Richard nice to meet your acquaintance." Said the masked Hunter in a polite tone,

"Now that were done with introductions Mr. Richard ready yourself your opponent is growing impatient." Said the burly Hunter as the Beast in the cage once again began squealing and thrashing in its prison. "Right let's get this over with." Said the masked Hunter eager to silence that haunting squealing,

"You got this Drake." Said the silver-eyed reaper, "Kick its butt." Said the blonde berserker, "Do your best." Said the ninja of team RWBY, "Try not to die." Said the heiress, "That's not the encouragement I need you white haired brat." Thought the masked Hunter.

"Brace yourself Mr. Richard I'm releasing the Beast." Said the burly man as he opened the cage. Out from the cage was a mass of black and white charging at Drake, his instincts commanding him Drake rolled to the side to avoid the charge.

Quickly getting to his feet the Beast turn around to face him, the Beasts was fairly small compared to other Beasts it was roughly four feet tall in the shape of a boar, it had black fur and white armor covering varying parts of its body, it had two sword like tusk for weapons, but its most noticeable features was it four glowing red eyes devoid of any feelings of remorse or mercy, you could tell just by looking in its eyes the Beast would love nothing more than to kill others and bathe in their blood. It had the same eyes of that damn pig.

Rage filled Drake when he saw those eyes, the world turn red if he died it meant nothing as long as he took the Beast with him. It was a feeling Drake had sadly felt many times before.

"I'LL TEAR YOU APART!" Roared Drake as he attempted to stab the Beast right between its eyes with his cane. But the armor was to strong and the cane bounced off without leaving a scratch. The Beast retaliated sweeping its tusk into Drakes body sending him and his cane flying in opposite directions, Drake spit out the blood in his mouth and ignoring the pain got back up on his feet.

Drake saw the Beast was somehow rolling in place preparing to launch itself at Drake to finish him off. Quickly Drake reached behind his cape into his belt and pulled out his favorite Hunting Tool the Augur of Ebrietas. The Beast done with its preparations charged at Drake, Drake stood there and thrust the Augur forward causing a small portal to appear. Right before the Beast struck tentacle burst through from the portal and clashed with the Beast. The force was too much and the Beast fell backwards flailing uselessly on its back.

Drake knew it was time to finish it off, not even bothering to pick up his cane Drake lunged towards the Beast and began digging his hands into the Beast underbelly ripping it apart piece by piece. Even after the Beast gave its dying squeal Drake paid it no mind and continued to dig into the Beast flesh. Eventually Drake saw that the Beast body was beginning to evaporating, this fueled his anger even more.

"NO YOU CANT DIE YET YOU HAVE TO SUFFER MORE!" Roared the enraged Hunter as he continued to tear at the Beast until every single speck of it evaporated. Still not satisfied Drake looked around for something anything to stab, rip apart, kill to vent his anger. But as he looked around he noticed everyone in the classroom including Team RWBY and even professor Port looked at him in shock and horror.

Drake knew what was happening, "I'm losing it again have to get away." Said the masked Hunter in a strained voice, Drake ran as fast as he could from the classroom ignoring what ever Ruby said to him on his way out, running outside Drake leaned against a nearby tree.

"BLOOD I NEED BLOOD." This thought roared inside the masked Hunters head", using all his might he drove those thought away but he had to hurry."Have to use the sedatives before it's to late." Said the masked Hunter as he reached into his belt and pulled out a small jar filled with an orange substance, Drake pulled of the cork and removed his mask and drank the substance as fast as he could.

The effects were instant the world returned too normal and the rage Drake had been feeling was replaced with an unnatural calm.

Drake placed his hand on his belt and felt that he had three mode bottles of sedative. "I have to get this under control before I run out of sedatives if I don't I'll end up just like them." Thought the masked Hunter as he remembered the fate of Gascoigne, Henryk and all the other mad Hunters he fought in the nightmare.

All of them reduced to mad men wanting nothing more than to bathe in blood, wiling to kill anything even someone they once loved. "No I won't end up like that I rather die." Said the masked Hunter with determination, this wasn't the first time Drake had one of his berserk moments he had grown almost accustom to them in Yharnam, but this wasn't the cursed city where everyone had gone mad and killing was a trivial task needed to survive.

This was a school a home to students who for better or worse wanted to be Hunters, to defend the world from all its evil, Drake couldn't afford to lose it here. "Well Mr. Richard it seems we have much to discuss." Said a calm voice from behind Drake, turning around Drake saw who the stranger was an immediately realized how much trouble he was in. "Hello headmaster Ozpin."
