Chapter 5

Stepping off of the Bullhead with a duffel bag on his left shoulder, Loki looked up to Beacons tower with a smile as he wore a set of sunglasses, only until tomorrow he'll be a student himself here.

Looking down to his clothing he wore a white singlet with a pair of cargo pants with sneakers.

Looking around the campus he let out a sigh as he walked to Ozpin's office, ignoring most of the students curious stares he nodded in greeting to a fourth year team who waved back, bright smiles accompanying their waves as Loki shifted the duffel bag to a more comfortable position on his shoulders, looking around he smiled at fond childhood memories.

"Home sweet home" Loki said as he entered the building that connected to the tower of Beacon, stepping into the elevator he pressed a button that sent him upward.

Listening to the soothing music of the elevator Loki leaned against the left wall with his eyes closed, opening them as the doors opened with a ping he stepped out to see Glynda Goodwitch standing in wait, turning with a frown that instantly vanished into a smile at seeing Loki smiling.

"Glynda, good to see you after all these years" Loki said as he happily hugged the Headmistress who hugged him back.

"Good to see you as well, you're looking far more mature than last time I saw you" Glynda said with Loki rolling his eyes as he walked to Ozpin's office.

Kicking the door open with Glynda sighing.

"Dad, I'm here as requested!" Loki declared with a smile, making Ozpin turn to him from the window.

"Loki, good to see you unharmed, especially with your safe houses being found" Ozpin said with Loki sighing.

"Yeah, Whoever's working with the White fang now has a slight grudge against those who seem to be a threat, this wouldn't happen to be this Queen I've been hearing about right?" Loki questioned as he placed his hard drive down on Ozpin's desk, bringing up reports of activity from the White Fang.

"Impressive, to think those lessons I've given you of seeking knowledge have gone in one ear and out the other" Ozpin said jokingly as Loki chuckle, looking through the reports he held one that got Ozpin's eyes to widen.

"This one was labelled "Winter Maiden", thought you'd want it" Loki said with Ozpin downloading the report onto his scroll.

"You do a better Job than Qrow" Glynda said with Loki shrugging.

"Meh, I've had good teachers, and speaking of teachers, will I have to do the Initiation like the new students or will I be skipping it?"

"You will be participating in the initiation, and please, do show restraint, we don't want the forest to be regrown again, do we?" Ozpin said as he placed the report into his scroll, looking to the other reports he found a picture of his adopted son and a girl with the Neapolitan ice cream theme in her hair and clothing.

Looking away from that Loki stood in wait with a smile, one which Ozpin returned as he retrieved his sons scroll, holding it to the Faunus he nodded to Loki as he pocketed the device.

"I believe you remember where your old room is?" Ozpin questioned, making Loki chuckle as he left the office, watching the doors to the elevator close Ozpin let out a sigh.

"He's grown" Glynda said with a proud voice that Ozpin agreed with by humming, looking to the report he downloaded onto his scroll.

"Indeed he has, but how much he has startles me" Ozpin said with a worried tone, looking to the elevator with a frown of worry present.

Walking into a room that looked old enough to be for a teen, Loki inhaled the dusty air of his old room before coughing, hitting his chest while walking towards the bed he stopped and frowned as he noticed the veil of dust he sighed as ash particles began to flake from his arms before they exploded out as a cloud, washing over everything in the room it returned to Loki who looked to his hands with a smirk.

Closing his right hand his eyes were unconsciously glowing as the room had a new paint thanks to his ash, dark grey from the once chalk white room Loki flopped onto the bed with a sigh, the curtains darkened with an embered effect flowing over the delicate fabric, looking like one of those water CGI effects.

Looking to the ceiling, Loki smiled at the thought of tomorrow.

"Well beacon, look's like the wolf is back" Loki said to no one but himself.

The next day

Sitting within the airship with her book in hand she held the suitcase beside her in suspicion of any troublemakers, letting out a sigh of tiredness Blake had a smile at the thought of Loki and his great help to her chance to do right, looking up she saw the many other future students mingling and such, looking back down to her books she couldn't help but listen to a conversation to a returning team from break.

"Hey, did you hear Headmaster Ozpin's sons back?"

"Yeah, apparently he's a first year student this time round, why?"

"Someone said they already gave noise complaints from his room at night"

"Well that's expected he is a wolf Faunus, their the ones who stay up longer than most others"

Looking to the third year students Blake spoke.

"Excuse me?" Blake questioned as the two male students turned to her, showing they were twins.

"Yes?"

"Would this son happen to be called Loki Fenris?" her answer was the twin to the right clicking his fingers.

"That's his name, anyway yeah, that's him, you could say he's become beacon's mascot every Vytal Tournament"

"Also, I'm Jacob Caine, this is my brother Rorik Caine, a pleasure to meet you miss…"

"Belladonna, Blake Belladonna"

"Belladonna, where have I heard that before?" Rorik muttered in thought before simply shrugging.

Looking forward at a hologram appearing the hidden Faunus paid full attention.

"Hello, and welcome to Beacon. My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." Glynda Goodwitch's hologram said before shutting off.

Leaving Blake alone as the twins went back to talking, leaving Blake in thought before she returned to her book of Smut *Blake glares*. I MEAN ART!.

Sitting calmly with his feet dangling from the top of a lamp built on the campus, Loki took a swig from the mountain Dew he got as he watched the airships docking slowly, with his smile growing as he saw many of his friends in the third and fourth year of Beacon, getting a wave from one of the students he waved back, looking to the new faces in search of one he turned to the right at hearing an explosion, dropping down to investigate he dashed towards it in the form of a cloud of ash.

Reforming good few feet away from the cloud of dust, walking towards the dissipating cloud with the cloud of ash following his being Loki stood in wait as he saw two figures while his being fully recollected itself.

Looking to the two female figures he blinked as the one in white yelled to the one in red.

"Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" White yelled with Loki frowning at her.

"I am really, really sorry!" the petite in red said meekly with Loki watching.

"Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?" the girl in White yelled with Loki raising an unimpressed eyebrow while crossing his arms.

"Well, uh, I…" the girl in red said before being interrupted by girl in White with Loki sighing as he's heard enough.

"This isn't your ordinary combat school. It's not just sparring and practice, you know! We're here to fight monsters, so..."

"I'm fairly certain she knows what Beacon is for, and you rattling on for a simple unsealed vial of dust is making me think twice on who to blame" Loki said with the two turning to him while Blake Belladonna walked forward, looking to Loki with a shy smile while picking up the vial.

"And who are you to say such accusations!" the girl said as she stepped towards him, making him raise an eyebrow as he broadened his shoulders, giving him a much more intimidating look, deciding to step it further he let out a snarl as his body shifted slightly into its lycanthropic state, baring his teeth with the girl in white stepping back with a gasp.

"Loki Fenris, son of Headmaster Ozpin, and your Weiss Schnee, slightly tolerable child of Jacque Schnee" Loki said after his being returned to normal, cracking his neck with a grunt.

"Loki Fenris… *GASP*… oh my god can I have an autograph!?" the girl in red and surprisingly Weiss yelled before they stood back with Weiss composing herself while Blake stood with a derp like face before she shook her head of such humorous thoughts, holding the Vial to the Heiress she took it calmly, her cheeks betraying her stoic stature.

"The auditorium is that way also, welcome to Beacon" Loki said with Weiss hastily retreating, just as a blonde Knight stepped forward nervously.

"Uh, where did you say the auditorium was again?" turning to the blonde Loki smiled.

"Just up ahead, follow the other students and You'll guess where it is, Loki Fenris by the way" Loki said as he shook the nervous knight's hand.

"uh, Juane arc, short sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it" Jaune said with Blake blinking as Loki chuckled.

"Do they now?"

"They will… well, at least I hope they will" Jaune said with Loki patting his back.

"Meh, I'm sure you'll get a girl, how about this, try it as an introduction to the first redhead beside this one here that you see, if her cheeks redden, then you have a chance, now get going lady killer" Loki said while jokingly pushing Jaune ahead, making the girl in red giggle before running after the blonde knight, leaving Loki standing with Blake who stood there quietly.

"So how's beacon for you so far, Blake?"

"well so far, thank you, Loki for what you've done for me" Blake said with Loki shrugging.

"No worries, I was taught to help those in need" Loki said as he turned to her, smiling he winked before walking to the auditorium himself, failing to see the blush on Blake's face as she followed.

Entering the auditorium Loki looked to the right to see Jaune speaking to a gladiator redhead beauty, making him smile with a chuckle as he and Blake stood among the crowd.

Looking to the stage Blake spoke.

"So, how did Ozpin adopt you?" Blake questioned with Loki looking down in thought, lifting his right-hand palm up Blake frowned in confusion before she stared at the spirals of ash rising out of his skin, some flowing to the ground while those with a fiery glow formed a chess piece carved into a wolf head, finishing the piece Loki spoke.

"I had the power that others would abuse, but he was there when I woke up with no memory of my life, he saved me from a bad life, I owe him so much" Loki said with Blake looking at him before they looked up to see Headmaster Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch on the stage.

"I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." Ozpin said as his eyes landed on Loki who paid full attention.

Watching his father walk off Stage Loki let out a sigh.

"You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed." Glynda said with Loki already moving to the Ballroom with Blake hurriedly catching up to him.

Walking out of the change room in her black, long-sleeved, yukata-style shirt with white edging over a purple undershirt, and a matching skirt. A black obi is wrapped around her waist and tied with a black and white string, and her bow still present.

Walking into the room with a book and her sleeping roll, looking around to the many other future students she spotted Loki walking around for a spot, still wearing the coat and jeans she frowned as he flopped the bedroll on the ground without a care, cracking his neck he shrugged with his clothes breaking down into ash before reforming into a normal black shirt and shorts, getting the attention of everyone in the room, making him look around innocently.

"What?" looking away to find her own spot Blake spotted Loki looking at her figure before she stopped and he looked at her face, making her smile and wink with Loki snorting with a small laugh.

"We're even now" Loki said as he sat down on his bedroll, failing to see a bubbly orangette checking him out before lying down herself.
