Chapter 1
A few months had passed since Salem's failed attempt at destroying Oasis.
The secondary city of Oasis had rebuilt, with help from the four primary cities of Vale, Vacuo, Mistral, and Atlas.
(primary cities are the largest and equivalent to a national capital, while secondary cities are like provincial/state capitals, depending on where you live)
Teams of Huntsmen and Huntresses formed all over the world, and different organizations were set up to train them, facilitate their needs, and act as middlemen for their missions and so on.
Team RWBY had enrolled in Beacon Academy, located in the primary city of Vale. From there they discovered that there were 4 academies: Beacon in Vale, Haven in Mistral, Shade in Vacuo, and Atlas in Atlas. But for now, the important thing for them is to get stronger.
At the academy, they met up with some old friends: team JNPR, who had also decided to enroll, remembering how powerful the NPC Huntsmen and Huntresses were from their previous life. They both thought that getting some proper training will help them get used to this world better.
"What if it's just like school again?" Ruby was slightly worried. She… didn't do well in school, not to say that she wasn't a good student, but because she was always distracted and found the material too simple for her.
"As you all know, the academies were set up to train Huntsmen and Huntresses to fight against the Grimm." Ozpin said, his voice echoed around the room. "Do not, under any circumstances, assume this is a normal school. The academies were set up to be able to simulate the battles you will face in the future."
A while later, team RWBY decided to explore the academy. They visited the forges, met some upperclassmen and got a good look around the academy. Then they checked out their dorms, which were well furnished and comfortable, but not too elaborate. There was a common room, with thickly padded carpets, and walls with paintings hung upon them. Four doors leaned against one wall, leading to the bedrooms. Several more doors were present, leading to storage rooms and bathrooms.
Team JNPR's dorms were, incidentally, across the hall from team RWBY's, and they made short work of visiting each other before calling it a day and going off to attend to their own things. Ruby headed to the forge to tinker with Crescent Rose to see if she could improve the weapon in anyway, most likely to also get a feel for the repair mechanisms of Beacon Academy. Weiss sat down to polish her Myrtenaster with a silk cloth and to redraw some of the runes along the blade. Blake stuffed the bookshelves in her room with all kinds of books. Yang set up a punching bag in her storage room and proceeded to work out.
(A side note here. It is worth noting that since Huntsmen and Huntresses operated in teams of 4, and to get trainees used to that M.O., the academy dorms, per unit, contain a living room, 4 bedrooms, 4 storage rooms, and 2 bathrooms with showers. And to fit that in with the world of Fate, everything is stylized in what we call Victorian/steampunk fashion today.)
Later…
Everyone had finished getting to know the academy and settling in, and were getting ready to sleep.
Blake put on some music from the music player in the room to help the team relax, and they gathered around the coffee table in the living room to relax and chat. Music notes danced around the room playfully, and the steam from the mugs on the table drifted upward lazily.
"So, what do you think are going to be the first test we get?" Ruby can't wait for classes to start, because for once, she found something that was challenging enough for her.
"Well, let's hope that it has to do with fighting, preferably fighting Grimm." Yang said.
On that bright note, the girls went to sleep.
The next day
It's a beautiful day outside.
Birds are singing.
Flowers are blooming.
Kids like team RWBY… should be launched into a forest full of Grimm on an assignment.
A skeleton boy with glowing eyes, dressed in a blue jacket, black pants and shoes, and sporting a bright grin peeked through the bushes.
